Rooting problem :(

Ok, I've rooted my phone before but had to reset the phone to all stock because I downloaded an impaled version of angry birds to get the ads off and make the game run smoother....never doin that again lol. Anyway, I tried using the one click root like I did the 1st time but its not findin my phone. I think it says something like it does not recognize adf internally or externally. I downloaded the right samsung driver, put the debugging on, and used the usb cord that came wit the phone and it still doesn't work. I already have CWM (I pushed it on the phone wit odin) and have the stock kernel. now I just need root again...

EA28 OTA

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/

The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.

just got mine... I'm gonna have a seizure in a public place to test it out.

Does any one know if one click root will work with this update

It worked for me on DL09 and this isn't that much different so I'd say yes.

There is a thread on ODIN. Simple directions, I thought.

So how does one "Make instantaneous emergency calls from a locked device in a time of need"?

Just as a side note if your having to redo the phone from scratch make sure to put the pit file in the pit on odin otherwise the phone will not activate!

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!

I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?

Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

Why suggest people to mess with pit in odin? You do NOT need to do this. Geez, people make this mistake enough on their own. Pda, choose file, press start... thats it.

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?

You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

[Q] One click root doesn't work on EA28?

My phone was rooted by one click root before this update. It is DI.01 before this update. But after I updated it to EA28. It seems that it is not rooted anymore. Do I need to root it again by one click root or any other method? Thanks!

Yes, you will need to re-root. Unfortunately I can't get the one-click method to work as I continue to get the "error: device not found".
adb it is.

I'm getting an issue with adb itself saying device not found.

The one click worked with Dl09, gotta make sure your pc is recognizing the phone properly. Sometimes reboot while usb is plugged in helps. Havent tried to root after latest update, so maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks ziggy. The reboot while plugged in works like a charm. Got full adb now. I've been banging my head against the wall and my buddies phone forever trying to get this.
It's always the easy fix.

What do you mean reboot while plugged in? The directions in the one click root don't tell you to unplug during reboot so the phone is always plugged in during reboot. I'm getting the same error with my Fascinate with EA28

Just use the new updated method for DJ05?DL09/DL30 found in the development forum.
Essentially you're installing a zip file with Busy Box and SU in CWM that will give you back your root privileges.

reboot (not unplug) while the phone is plugged into the computer, this often fixes the computer not recognizing the phone properly... nothing to do with the actual rooting process. You have to get your computer to pick up your phone as mass storage before you can even start rooting.

Help rooting my device(I have tried everyting)

Hi this is my first thread but I have been reading this site for some time. Here is my problem.
I have an stock EC05 rom epic 4G recently adquired and I have tried to root it for some time but every method I tried proves to be unsuccesful(I have tried nopc method and oneclickroot) both
Of them finished unsuccesful my biggest problem with the oneclick method is that my computer(and any) can't detect my device as an pendrive, just as an modem so I'm enable to acces anything from my phone when is connected by usb(have tried usb debbuging mode on and off but nothing) I have the drivers installed I'm my pc but they don't seem to connect whit my phone(have reinstalled them but not working, the same as before) so I don't have a clue of what's wrong or missing if someone could help whit anything I would thank it a lot.
If you need to know something else I'm. Cheking contantly the thread to refresh it the quicker I can.

Did you try using bonsai master unlocker?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Have u tried all the USB ports? Also if u are using the stock Samsung USB cable. Try a different one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Yup I have tried every usb port and a BB cable but nothing. Its the same whit the stock cable and no I never have read about the bonsai method I will try it.

Did you download the samsung drivers to your PC?
Sorry, I see you did that.
Keep trying different cables, it took me 3 to find the right one.

Did you let th drivers install the fist time you plugged it in?
Sent from my SPH-D700

Well in fact I think is not the cable because my computer is able to detect it but not as an usb mass storage when I plug it to my pc 3 drivers are loaded the cdma modem samsung usb modem and the theter one but no one is the android usb driver that I have seen in some videos and whit another android phones ohh and I have been trying to find the bonsai methhod but it seems that the thread have been deleted.

i had a very similar problem when rooting mine. do you have access to another os to try it on? when i was doing mine i had to do it on mac os . i was using the oneclick method but it took awhile as the newer models of the epic seem to hate windows 7......dunno why tho...lemme know how it goes and if its still not working i can send the exact programs i used.

well i have tried bonsai masterkey but no the same as the others I'm getting frustrated by this situation

You could also try rebooting your phone, computer, or both.

a great place for beginners to start at is theunlockr.com, if your not firmilliar with your phone and how the root process works they are great about holding your hand through the process and have some pretty good starting points for what roms to use so on and so forth...

Some of your wording is a little confusing, are you saying that you can't even get usb mass storage to work? (Meaning,are you able to transfer anything to your phone?)
If that's the case, then that honestly sounds like a faulty usb port on your phone and you might have to get it serviced.

Have u tried to see if Odin will recocnize the phone in download mode? If u can get it to show up you can Odin ef02. Then Odin clockwork, then flash superuser. Then u will be rooted.

i have used odin and it seem to reconized my phone but i havent found a guide to root using odin, I once tried to ask for one but they told me to use oneclick root but It was no use
and for the asking if i used debug mode yeah i tried in every form to connect it to the computer but the same. if some one could conduct me to a way to use odin i would be very greathful

Stuff you need and Odin instructions are in first post of link below. I would also read through thread if you run into any problems. If Odin shows "com 4,5 or 6" really any number it means it should be recognizing phone. That will show in left upper box on Odin program when u put phone in download mode and connect to PC.

Sir, if you can't transfer files to your phone, you need to go to a sprint store. It'll be free if you pay for TEP.
These are the exact same symptoms of my friend's phone. Can't mount SD to a computer, same drivers that end up installing, no one click or unlocker will work; but odin recognizes (and works). I'm having him come in to my store next week.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

well it would be the best thing to do but I´m not able to do that because I´m not in the USA so it´s quite umprobable that I can do that i will try to use odin and see what happens thanks for your attention I appreciated

Cant root my Epic 4g

Hello
Before you guys get on to me, I did search on how to root the epic 4g
and i even tried using all the tips if unable to root
I have stock froyo 2.2 eco5, it has usb debugging on, I tried oneclickroot 3.1.0.1, and i keep getting "phone not connected." I tried to force it by unplugging cable and quickly plugging back in. and when i got somewhere, it hangs on "waiting for phone to reconnect." for 5 mins, I tried rebooting my pc, rebooting my phone, uninstalling and installing samsung drivers, stock cables, hp cables, blackberry cables. Nothing
I also tried superoneclick and that would not work either.
Please help

All of a sudden I am getting the same damn thing. I never had a problem with this before. I reinstalled the drivers, tried older version,etc. You can actually go a different route. You can grab one of Crawrj's Odin Gingerbread Leak ROMs that includes Superuser,CWM 3.1.0.1 and run that. Then boot to recovery, flash a Froyo ROM, then flash the RFSto EXT4 zip and reboot. I have had to go this route myself lately. It will get you wherever you want to go.
