  • @kennyglass123 Im an idiot n somehow managed to post my last comment to you on here by accident instead of on qbkings video we were already posTing on

    In short Im on the mobile version of yt n just cant find the actual odin link for whatever reason Could you please share or post that actual link for me somehow please then I can stop bugging you lol Thanks smiley face cant use special characters lol

  • @JaDawn04 :-)

  • @kennyglass123 it's not showing me the link to that video at all. I simply can't find it (I even tried youtube search engine), could you please shate that actual (c&p or share link button) link with me please? (just to simplify it at this point? ) I'm running youtube from my phone (its just easier) since I use pdanet to supply inter-web to my pc. I think the mobile version may possibly be limiting the amount of videos I can see for "related videos" idk. thanks

  • @JaDawn04 sorry, this video is old and irrelevant now. There are newer root methods. I don't have this phone at the moment, so please go to @qbking77's channel & see how he roots the update

  • By the way it is Tether not teether

  • @Howard123a i wish i had a dollar every time someone told me that. I say it right now, i promise

  • @wwjoshdew does work with the sprint galaxy s2 4g touch

  • I set my settingss up the same as yours and mine doesn't work? Any suggestions? (Yes my phone is fully rooted)

  • @MLGProTalent are you using the latest EI22 gingerbread rom?

  • @wwjoshdew I figured out what was wrong. No worrys. This way didnt work for me cause of the Ginger bread and all that jazz but this was a good tut. Thanks man.

  • @MLGProTalent You're welcome

  • after rooting ur phone does it delete all the apps, music and contact ?

  • @Jayreid6282 NO. That does NOT happen! your phone stays the same. BUT you get to uninstall those apps that you normally couldn't!

  • I LIVE IN OP, TOO!

  • @jay00nya sweet!

  • Kind of confusing :s

  • can i do this if I am on gingerbread EH06

  • @deadpeopleseer you have to flash a tar that gives you custom recovery, using odin! but it's pretty easy!

  • @deadpeopleseer and EH17 is the NEWEST and GREATEST right now

  • It may have been, Josh. I don't have the phone in front of me -- it's my friend's phone and I was trying to help him root it by watching your video. Everything was going fine until there was no 'User Profile'. Once everything is downloaded and installed, we can't get it to work as a tether and no one can connect to it. :(

  • @TRoehrig2 yeah, I was having issues with the epic 4g as well! It had Froyo, but now it has EH17 Gingerbread and tethering with wifi tether 3.1pre6 works great!

  • After I install the tethering program (the one you went to on the video was no longer available -- but I downloaded another one) -- I went to settings and there was no option for User Profile above the Enable WiFi-Encryption. Did I miss something?

  • @TRoehrig2 was it 3.1beta6?

  • NICE

  • Excellent video man, the threads on XDA can be confusing, this makes it much clearer. I had some trouble getting it to connect to my computer, but other than that, it was great. Thanks for the help.

  • It's cool no worries (understand about the work). I am comfortable on everything except the backup and recovery part of it. Get back when at your convenience it's no biggy thanks a ton.

  • @mpando6625 unfortunaltey I am at work and we are forced to use IE6. and it doesn't allow me to reply to your comment. So when i go on break, I will pull out my laptop and reply! you might not even see this...

  • I have watched tons of videos on rooting and by far yours is the best. It's very clear and you definitely have a choice of words very advanced from theirs. These people obviously tried to just "wing it" (or you're just smarter than them) either way I am convinced. I am a little shaky on the back-up and recovery deal, this is used incase something does go wrong? Also if you could give me a simple list of what I need to DL on my phone and then what I need for my comp that would be stella...

  • @mpando6625 recovery is so that you can wipe your phone, clear cache, apply new kernels, recoveries, roms, and etc... so yes, if you mess up your phone, you can restore a backup. If you have a stock rom and you are rooting for the first time, YES! Freaking backup your whole phone. Then when you wipe your phone and apply a new rom, you can do an Advanced restore and just restore your data... So it's like you never wiped your phone in the first place.

  • This video was awesome. So let me get this correct because I am very new to all of this and want to make sure I do not screw my phone up. I know there is a chance, but I don't want to mess the phone up because of my inability. So rooting the phone and using the wifi tether basically creates a wifi hot spot through your phone which can be used on your computer??? In lamens terms, this will allow you to get internet for free on your computer from your phone???

  • @mpando6625 Thank you for the nice comment! People like you encourage me to keep doing what I am doing. THANK YOU! As far as your question, using the one click root is pretty much as easy and safe as it's going to get. I would say it's impossible to brick your phone using something that simple, but who knows. It doesn't erase ANYTHING. It simply gives you superuser and roots your kernel. So yes, you can download wifi tether and send free internet to any wireless capable devices, without paying..

  • Ok so where are we supposed to get the adp or whatever shit you transferred from your other phone? You gave zero details on that!

  • @ParkersPlaylist I AM NOT THE BEST at explaining shit from scratch. I know that. I don't take baby steps. you download a ZIP you unzip it, you run the batch file that roots your phone. it's easy as hell.

  • @wwjoshdew

    Ended up getting it to work by reading the forum. Now what I'm looking for is the vanilla status bar with the green battery that your first phone had. Any suggestions?

  • @ParkersPlaylist YEAH. GOOGLE EPICUREAN SCrAMbLED EGgs22 you will find @dameon87's video on it! I am putting it on my boss's Epic tomorrow and I am going to make my video on it! I will TRY to slow it down... I just have shitty insight stats where people get bored and stop watching the video... or skip through it

  • @wwjoshdew Alright I will see what I can do. I HATE the samsung status bar and that stupid blue battery. I'm going through all of this just to get rid of it... and maybe get gingerbread.

  • @ParkersPlaylist DUDE, i updated the description!

  • @wwjoshdew Good shit bro thank you.

  • @ParkersPlaylist ha. your comments wouldn't require approval if we were friends on here. 

  • Computer says phone is not connected.... my phone shows it IS connected..... any suggestions?

  • Sweet thx buddy!

  • @SoCoMFu5eD you're very welcome!

  • Will this connection work on my ps3?

  • @SoCoMFu5eD YUP! The Epic 4G has a profile and when you choose it, it enables a TRUE hotspot unlike most phones where it's adhoc only. and the ps3 will NOT accept an adhoc connection but the Xbox 360 WILL

  • I live in wichita falls tx

  • @SoCoMFu5eD cool

  • I live in wichita falls tx

  • @SoCoMFu5eD cool!

  • I live in wichita

  • @ttgxmysteryxx COOL!

  • @MASTEROFSKULLS34 awesome. We should meat at a McDonald's, Wal-Mart, or something! #LOL

  • 5:14 what ?

  • @joeybab3 momma, I need to pee pee! #LOL

  • 5:14 what?

  • @joeybab3 momma, I need to pee pee! #LOL

  • @joeybab3 i know #LOL

  • @joeybab3 she is crazy. she is actually getting to the point where (with her little stool) she is able to climb up onto the potty! she has gone a couple times now without any help. and she has cerebral palsy (and she is 4) so this is HUGE to us. Thanks for your comment. just rememerb, when it says pending approval, it's submitted and waiting for me to reply to it.

  • @wwjoshdew oh, how sad

  • @joeybab3 it's not. she has learned to overcome it and all 3 of us have accepted her limitations and work around them.

  • Comment removed

  • @joeybab3 momma, I need to pee pee! #LOL

  • @wwjoshdew ahh its alright. I'll look at forums and see what I can find..i just got the phone so i hope i dont brick it. But I appreciate the help man! I had an HTC hero cdma and I used your video to help me thru the process and everything worked just fine. keep up the good work!!

  • @abstractart18 thank you man! I really appreciate your comment!

  • can i still root the phone while on a macbook? and if so, do i have to install the drivers?

  • @abstractart18 i don't know man... I don't have a mac, sorry!

  • little big planet...

  • @commercialsaremywife never played it

  • @wwjoshdew neither have I, I just heard them talking about it in the background. Anyway, will I lose any of my data if I do this?

  • @commercialsaremywife NOPE! You don't lose anything but your phones virginity and gain root! #LOL

  • @wwjoshdew sweet thanks bro

  • @commercialsaremywife you're welcome!

  • @wwjoshdew hey the root said it worked, but the phone restarted and it didin't get that power user thing.

  • @commercialsaremywife you made me roll on the floor laughing! Power User! lol. it's super user. just google epic 4g one click root and try again.

  • 101 :P

  • @JIMMAY1991 oh, wow! i can't believe this video has that many likes! because I really think this video is shit. If I had this phone, I would redo this video.

  • mines keep saying my phone is not connected..even after i debug it..help

  • thanks you so much, i was trying this about like a month , my girlfriend got mad cause she said i was mad about doing this, heheehehe i´m from mexico and up to now i made it all this shit happen hehehe , i enjoy looking this video several times until all was done... at this time im only waiting a file names adb saves in my lap..it automatically appears...

  • @natalioner your welcome. I truly hate this video because it's so long! I had just moved and I didn't have my tripod and yesterday I realized how much shorter it could of been.

  • Thanks dood!!

    

  • @smonte2k you're welcome main!

  • Did the whole thing, even bought the paid backup app. Went to recover, and now I can't get the phone off the SAMSUNG screen. Won't hard reset either. Awesome Sauce!

  • @imautobot dude, RUN the swupgrade thing! I will check and see if I put a link to that in this description!

  • @imautobot YUP! Link is in the description and been there for a while. But here it is again, ifile.it/nq4i0o6/Epic4G_FroyoU­pgrade_EB13_Tool.exe

  • @imautobot ifile.it/nq4i0o6/Epic4G_FroyoU­pgrade_EB13_Tool.exe will put Android 2.2.1 STOCK on your phone and you can apply the EC05 update from their and try it again. Sorry you're having bad luck.

  • @wwjoshdew I got it to root the day you answered me, I just was too tired by that point to respond. But here is the rub. My battery is dying at an alarming rate now. I've done all the common sense tricks to extend battery life, but it'll go into the 20% range within 3-4 hours of being unplugged and little to no actual usage (also, not on 4G). Is this a symptom or rooting? Or would an OEM battery go to shit in 10 months?

  • @imautobot you sound like you need your batterystat.bin file deleted (reset basically) with Calibrates your batter. Search for Battery Calibration in the Android market and it will reset your battery.

  • @wwjoshdew That calibration has worked amazingly well! Thanks!

  • @imautobot awesome! Very happy to hear that!

  • When I plug my phone into the computer (using debugging mode), my computer doesn't read it. Do you know why?

  • @MrCog96 Driver issue dude! You have to uninstall all samsung usb drivers, reboot, and reinstall them. If that still doesn't work, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to troubleshoot on your own. I can tell you that people have come to me saying that their USB cable was screwed up, reinstalling the correct drivers, or using a different computer, resolved their issues.

  • Does anybody know the name of that wallpaper widget there using?????

  • @MrSax0509 it came with the phone man. It's a stock phone, with root.

  • @wwjoshdew It didn't come on the phone cuz I'm on stock and I don't have it. She has to have downloaded something. Do you have any idea I mean If it's on my phone let me know where to find it. But she had to have downloaded something from the market

  • @MrSax0509 ok, I will try and find out for you!

  • @wwjoshdew I fixed it it had an issue with the cache and I restored that and it went through

  • @cuevaslegrand awesome!

  • Question, do we have to download any drivers before we start the one click root ?

    Please advise

  • @taqirazaa I would go to the EPIC support site on either samsung or sprint website and install them.

  • @wwjoshdew it got stuck in 100 percent

  • @cuevaslegrand well that SUCKS! sorry. I don't know what to tell you

  • how long does it take to update? @wwjoshdew

  • @cuevaslegrand uh, I don't know. I actually used Odin. But it should only take a few minutes. And sorry it took 20 minutes to reply. I am working right now. Can't read and/or reply to you when the phone rings. but i would uninstall all samsung usb drivers, reboot, then install swupgrade again and run it.

  • is that the problem?

  • no a sing of a phone and a connection to computer is on the screen and nothing it states there I'm free king out what do I do

  • @cuevaslegrand dude, uninstall the samsung usb drivers. then install the swupgrade thing again, and run it.

  • the program did not work it froze

  • @cuevaslegrand then maybe you need to reinstall drivers? Is your phone in debugging?

  • @wwjoshdew thank you I highly appreciate it

  • @cuevaslegrand I highly appreciate your comment and you are very welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

  • @wwjoshdew sorry i had posted that if you can please show me how to revert this proces i need to turn in the phone to sprint i dont trust anyony but you when it comes to hacking rooting androids thank you and keep up the good work

  • @cuevaslegrand I updated the description! it's this link, ifile.it/nq4i0o6/Epic4G_FroyoU­pgrade_EB13_Tool.exe it will flash your phone to Android 2.2.1 and it will GET RID OF ROOT, all apps, EVERYTHING. When you take it to the Sprint store, they are going to do the same thing. So in the end, you're going to have a phone that needs fixed, but can't because it's rooted. OR you are going to one click unroot it, and SPRINT is going to reset it. So I highly recommend just running that program.

  • @cuevaslegrand you didn't finish your comment.

  • what was that weather/clock app on the phone??

  • @si1entscorn i have no idea

  • The video was extremely helpful thank you! The only glitch I had on my install was the wifi. I turned my phone on to 4g and it kept shutting when I tried to tether. But not on 3g. I finally realized that the specific area where I was does not have a strong enough 4g signal to make it work. So I stuck to the 3g. Thanks again!

  • @kdagreen Your welcome!

  • Thumbs up for using batterybar...!

  • @vanberge HA! You named it right! I LOVE it and I swear by it! Its always way more accurate than the stupid time remaining thing windows shows! You just made my day!

  • No offense intended here my friend, but it seems like you don't know exactly what you're doing to the phone, software wise. Anyone can use one click root, it's not hard. :)

  • @rjhall90 my first time rooting the phone. :-) Even playing with one... but I did it.

  • @wwjoshdew thanks again your video aswell as you were very helpful

  • @cuevaslegrand your welcome!

  • @wwjoshdew the fone is acctually rooted and superuser worksfine but when i run the wifi tether the fone vibrates 3 times and shuts down what do i do help!!

  • @wwjoshdew the fone is acctually rooted and superuser worksfine but when i run the wifi tether the fone vibrates 3 times and shuts down what do i do help!!

  • @cuevaslegrand i don't know what's going on. your best bet would be to submit a bug report to the google wifi tether project page. i have done it before. they do get back to you.

  • @wwjoshew thank you i will keep you updated if i have any further isues thanks.

  • @cuevaslegrand your welcome

  • @wwjoshdew thanks but now the wifi app doesnt work my phone crashes and turns off what do i do?????

  • @cuevaslegrand you need to download an app called "wifi tether". search for it on your phone (using google.com) and click the downloads link. then download the pre14 version and install it. if your phone is crashing, you may need to flash stock. i have a video on how to do it. it's the EC05 video on my channel.

  • help the program says that the rageagaintthecage-arm5 is missing what do i do????

    

  • @cuevaslegrand re download the one click root zip! they keep updating it.

  • @cuevaslegrand i updated the description.

  • Damn blood tell rhem hoes to shut the fuck up

  • @robbstarr1331 this was a spur of the moment video, FIRST day in Missouri in a year. So people were excited. If you don't like it, I am sorry.

  • Just did this worked great thanks. But does WIFI Tether v3 pre 14 work? I cant find the pre 10 one.

  • @loganjohnson0430 no, use the pre14! and then select the Samsung Epic 4g profile!

  • @wwjoshdew Thanks for the fast reply will do.

    

  • @loganjohnson0430 it wasn't that fast. it took me longer than usual. (it took 7 minutes)

  • @wwjoshdew Awesome working great thanks!

  • @loganjohnson0430 good to hear buddy! Wifi Tether for free is freaking awesome!

  • by the way this is everything i needed lol at first i was looking for the free wifi

    then, i found out what Rooting was so i started to look for how to root the epic.

    i think i 've been to like 13 different videos to figure this out lol and there you go

    you have everything on this video lol (btw would this still work?)

  • @OCDmadaFker yes dude! There is a newer version of one click root but it's that simple! Plug your phone up to your computer and click a button! i wish it was that easy for the transform for all of my subscribers that have a hard time using swuprade to flash roms.

  • i'm thinking of getting the sumsung epic 4g and this is really helpful!!!!

    is there anymore useful infos, that i should know about this phone?

  • @OCDmadaFker DO NOT! The Evo Shift can be overclocked to 1.5ghz using CyanogenMod and you will receive timely updates from CM to include future versions of android and they make amazing roms.

  • @wwjoshdew so are you suggesting me to get the "Evo Shift"?

  • @OCDmadaFker YES dude! With Cyanogen, you can overclock the Shift to FASTER than the EPIC!

  • @wwjoshdew NICE thanks mate!!!!!!!!!!! i'm purchasing the phone tomorrow, does Cyanogen already have build in the SHIFT? or do i have to root it?

  • @OCDmadaFker YES! To root it, they have instructions on the site! It will have a link on the Cyanogen rom page on how to root. I would be jealous because it may be 800 mhz, but it's just like the t-mobile g2's processor and it's a very fast 800mhz! Plus it supports Firefox Mobile!

  • @wwjoshdew i really do appreciate your helps mate!!!! i'm not so familiar with cell phones, so this has been eyeopening lol

  • @OCDmadaFker haha. AWESOME! Your very welcome and thanks for becoming a subscriber! it helps me a lot in my quest to world domination! #LOL

  • great video. nice to see this done in real time on a phone that has not already been rooted. worked well, thanks!

  • @abubabbu yeah, i know what you mean! "This is how you install gingerbread" but they already have Android 2.3 installed. lol

  • say homeboy i need yo help when i run wifi tether my sprint hotspot turns on and then the wifi tether dont!!! Help me pleeeease ill cradle your sac and swallow the gravy.. nigga ill suck yo dick!!!

  • @lyoll wow. a little to much ey. Are you using wifi tether 3 pre 13? There is a samsung epic 4g profile and you need to select that. just go to google on your phone, search for wifi tether, and click on the little downloads link in the search and it will bring you to the newest version.

  • @wwjoshdew im desperate!!!! and yes i have v3 pre13 and still the sprint hotspo turns on.. i tried to use titanium to remove the spint hotspot but cant find it... please help!!!

  • @lyoll you have to have the sprint hotspot app for it to work.

  • was supposed to say theme sorry. all instructions worked perfect my phone is up and running after a few errors. restoring all data screwed it up so had to redo. works great now thank you

  • @cmeabon your welcome!

  • what them are you using on that?

  • @4468861989 your welcome!

  • when i try to do it, it keeps saying "device offline"....why?!?! D:

  • @sammy535614 do you have usb debugging enabled?

  • Anyone notice alvin and the chipmunks in backround?

  • @nbagf i have a three year old and she watches WAY to much tv. lol

  • how do u put reboot and recovery on the sort cuts ?

  • @lakobe244life it's an app called "quick boot", it's free, and you can long press anywhere and create a "shortcut" to either, reboot, recovery, power off, bootloader, or hot boot (reboots just android, not the bootloader).

  • VERY helpful thanks man!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @01fmfblaster really? That's awesome!

  • @wwjoshdew do you have any apps that you would recommend with the root?
