Has anyone else run into a very long root process with Super OneClick when following the instructions on the forums?
Don't use superoneclick, use aRoot if youre still on 1.26 and gladroot if youre on 1.57 (although you'll have to flash back to 1.26 for that one). Check the development forum, can't link from here

Hello, I am not rooted and know nothing about clockworkmod. (I have tried rooting numerous times but no success. I'm thinking drivers) I would like to know if its possible to flash it with my epic being stock? I have searched and have turned no results about flashing it from stock. Everything refers to rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can root with z4root couldn't be easier. No PC required.

You still need clockwork to flash.

Do I need to buy clockwork?

No but I am not sure if you can install it without a pc. Are you using the drivers from samsung?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes I downloaded samsung galaxy s drivers from here when I tried to root. Never for them to work even with 2 fresh installs. Thanks for the info on the z4root, by far the easiest and fastest way I've ever rooted before. But ya I have samsung drivers.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
is it the same driver you get from the samsung website? You said you got them here so I am just checking cause I am not sure. I got mine right from the samsung website.

I am afraid I won't be any help there. I haven't flashed clockwork yet because I am not sure how easy it is to remove (noob) so I am waiting until Froyo releases. Unless I can't find an easy method to install it and uninstall it.
just downloaded z4root and rom manager from market
z4root installing right now

What the heck, is this a temporary un-root? I am on my rooted stock kermal/rom Epic that I used one-click root(PC) to root my phone. I wanted to unroot using z4root and I was unrooted until I turned my phone off. When I did I was rooted again. BTW, it took about a millisecond to unroot.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Might not unroot unless you rooted with it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK. Thanks. I might try re-root but I don't want to brick.

It's not really possible to brick most android devices unless you mess with the radios.

If your going to install ROM you don't need to root it

What do you mean you don't need root to install a rom?

The easiest from my experience is z4root.

This. Grab the update.zip from the noob guide and boot into default recovery and reinstall packages twice and it will install clockwork and you can flash whatever rom you want

If you're on stock 2.2, this doesn't work, yet everyone seems to spread this method like it's the end all be all.
You need to have either modified 3e, or 2e recovery for it to work. Easiest is to Odin to jfd, then use the update.zip method.

This has been the easiest method for me...
This method worked for me:
Odin back to 2.1 eclair
Then get root with z4root mod.
Then install CWM from rom manager

I also used the noob guide to root which involved using the update.zip file. It involves using Odin to get back to stock 2.1, and then using the update.zip to install Clockwork recovery mod. From there you need to flash a rooted ROM to get root privileges. The method is very reliable in my opinion. The "Noob Guide" is excellent for starting to learn things like root and many others. Its in the Q and A section of the vibrant forum. Good luck!
