[Root] Samsung Epic 4G Official Froyo EB13 w/Optional EXT4

[bonanzabucks]

Hi,

I'm rooted, but I have a 2.1 kernel and ROM. It was really difficult for me to achieve the first root. I'm not too keen on doing the process again (especially since I had to use someone else's computer to finally get it to work). Do I have to flash back to stock and re-root to get EB13? Or am I OK with installing a ROM with 2.2 once it comes out? Basically, are there other ways of installing 2.2 without going back to stock and re-rooting?

Prerooted ext version will work for my setup without having to reroot?

Rooted TER 1.5, DK28 and clockwork 3.x.x.x

my main question is who has been rooted and then installed the 2.2 update manual way and the phone was fine and just needed rerooted. So no issues b/c of the previous root

Rag--you've never steered me wrong, so quick question:

Dameon87 over at xda posted "FULL flashable. It will update you from DI18 to EB13, Modem, Kernel, and all. Prerooted." and deodexed.
[ROM][STOCK] EB13 - Deodexed Update from DI18 | Pre-rooted - xda-developers

My knowledge pretty limited but this sounds like all the important words I need to hear. Any thoughts? I won't hold you responsible if I end up with a paperweight

is this the same one click used in dk28?

nope, download the exe version from samsung, install, follow its instructions even if you're in 1.5 TER like i was, and just flash B13 and pow
though back up your stuff because ti will clean your phone up.

none of my apps from the sd card are showing up. I backed up using Titanium Backup from DK28. Now on rooted EB13. If I download TB from market will it affect my backups?

Don't see how

I would do this right now but my sis is using the laptop that has all the things I need to root my Epic to EB13 -_-

Now, I'm confused as all get out. There is talk here about the One Click Root, and previously somewhere here about ODIN. I installed the Leaked DK28 but I don't think I rooted my phone. I used a process here and it worked; I think it was ODIN. Now, I would like to have the new EB13 but I'm confused about how to go about this. There appears to be too many ways to go about this. I would be happy enough going back to the original and then let Sprint/Samsung do the updating for me. Can I do that? Can someone provide a link to specific instructions?

Is this the same one click root that was used for 2.1?

Anybody notice apps missing from the market after doing the update to EB13?

 

[gitit20]

I would give you a big wet sloppy kiss but that would be strange and awkward so a THANK YOU will have to do if you was here i would shake your hand and buy you a beer...

Offically on 2.2 and rooted! love you guys

ugh... having worse problems then the first time i tried to root. keeps saying waiting for the phone to reconnect and nothing happens. tried killing adb in all types of ways. plus there's 2 adb files running for some reason. it restarts on its own after i kill it

question.. i do NOT want to mount the SD card as a drive correct?

edit: errrr nevermind. sixth times the charm
