Yeah, when I hit the "Flash clockwork recovery", it still takes me to the regular recovery instead. The regular recovery doesn't recognize the update.zip folder. It gives me "Fail signature" error.
wait wehn you hit flash clockwork recovery in rom manager it shouldnt send you to recovery unless you hit the reboot into recovery button
Did you follow these directions?

you may need Ragnarokx since i am not familiar with the epic
It asks me if I want to reboot to recovery do the update. I click on ok. But the recovery mode is not the Clockwork one, it's just a regular recovery mode. I don't know how else to get there.
Droid, I was able to uplaod the file using Odin. Now my phone is updated to Firmware 2.2.1 and the Build number is Froyo DK28.
Is there anything else I should do or leave it the way it is?

Since I'm new to all this stuff I really don't know. All I wanted was to get out of that 2.1 deal. 
If this is what you used, i think you are good to go

Robbie Doo - your problem was you were trying to use the root/recovery for Froyo on an Eclair system. Now that you're on Froyo, Procedure 2 of the 1st post of this thread should work for you.
Need help please!!!!!
Hey everyone im pretty sure my question has popped up a very long time ago and not really used to the epic forums and where stuff would be can find anything on my situation but here's where I need assistance.
Im going to be rooting a friends epic 4g I have read up and down and have saw 2 way to get root access of some sort but he want to start flashing roms and using Ext lag fixes and overclocking his phone of the gate so I have read a sticky on ways to root but.
here's the problem I have no PC or laptop and the easy way is to use z4root and get (temp root access) and then if he turns the phone off bam all root is gone but with a PC the rooting is easy no doubt but I have no PC so is there a way I could use z4root and use the permanent root button to get access and then download busybox and superuser then I hear people saying I would have to push commands or something to get everything tied together?
But if I wanted to get a recovery image on the phone and flash a rom with root included and a custom kernel to top everything off how would I go abouts do it that's even if im able to get the permanent root with z4root and then busybox and superuser then a recovery image to flash a quick rom with root incorporated in it to keep the phone rooted then flash a kernel to speed things up And better battery life.
I have rooted a galaxy captivate before using terminal just on the phone and pushed the files I needed to the right place but I never had a recovery image on the phone like this phone can but if someone can point me to the commands needed to push the rooting files manual with terminal app I would appreciate it sorry if this is in the wrong spot but I couldn't find anything with my no PC problems and where the commands are thanks in advance

Use Procedure 2 in the first post - this will give you root access, ClockworkMod Recovery and an EXT4 filesystem. I'd recommend using a PC, but if you think you can do it without you're welcome to try.
Some of the procedures in the first post are a little misleading for a newbie like me and can send you running in circles. What I wanted was Stock Froyo with root. I installed Froyo using odin fine, but when I tried to root using z4root, it failed no matter what. So, I moved on to OneClickRootCWM3.zip. It worked fine or so I thought. After spending half a day tweeking Froyo just right, I went to do a backup using clockwork. That was a big mistake since as soon as I rebooted into clockwork 3 it started converting the filesystem to ext4. And stock Froyo won't run on ext4. I was stuck on the boot screen. So, back to odin to reflash stock Froyo.
What I ended up doing was using one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip from the eclair instructions to re-root. Seems to work fine in Froyo, and doesn't automatically convert your filesystem to ext4. Seems like it should be made clearer that you should NEVER use OneClickRootCWM3.zip if you want to use the stock Froyo.
