You need moto drivers check the sbf tutorial by darkonion he has them there.. he also has easy root one-click method incase you have not achieved proper root.

get a mac, all the drivers are installed when you plug in the phone automatically and instantly.

Yeah but then you have a mac

Rooting

Can I get step by step instructions on how to root? I tried the one click root, but after it does the "adb connecton wll restart log in" or whatevr and then says "wait 15 seconds..." but then it says "error no device found" but it comes up under adb devices...

Ps, I can't search. The app force closes.

I got that too. It was because the drivers didn't install completely. To finish the install, I unplugged the phone which resulted in windows telling me the install was successful. When I plugged it back in, it installed a couple more drivers, and the rooting worked just fine.

It's the drivers. Your best bet is to try it on a WinXP x86 machine.

You don't have to search....you can just go into the Epic 4G development thread and the steps to root is in the stickied threads.

I took the drivers from samsungs website. But I did plug the phone in when I first got it and it installed the drivers by itself back then. So what do I do? Plug it in, let it install, then unplug and plug back in?
Lol

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.

Yeah... Thanks

Phone reboots into TWRP

well I have been having problems on how to do unlock my phone using a Mac, but I was finally able to unlock it and flash TWRP recovery by using mattlgroff's utility 1.20 now the I have installed TWRP recovery, every time I connect my phone to the Mac it asks me superuser permission for AdB shell I grant permission and it says "Adb shell has been granted permission" and it reboots into TWRP recovery. I even denied superuser permission but it still does the same thing. I have USB debugging on.
is this normal? because I need to transfer some files to my phone so I can Flash a Rom through TWRP. I would really appreciate your help. thanks.
here's a picture attached showing what it says as soon as I connect the phone to computer.
after that it just reboots into TWRP.

Are you on stock rom?

I fixed it! I had to reset my Mac's SMC, apparently it kept flashing TWRP every time I connected my phone to the computer.
thanks for being helpful anyways !

USB Debug

I'm stuck in TWRP with no OS installed and I'm trying to fix things through adb but I can't access usb debug and enable it so I'm stuck again... What should I do?

Adb should work while in recovery, so you shouldn't need to enable USB debugging.
Use this command:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard

Yeah that makes sense... thing is device is not being recognised... I'm stuck between fastboot and recovery with no OS installed and I'm trying to flash a ROM to no avail... Been looking at the phone for 2 hours now.

So when you go into recovery and run "adb devices" the phone doesn't show up?

Try to reinstall the drivers and then try adb commands. Might help.
