Default Root guide and rom manager?

Is there a basic guide for rooting the epic?

I've rooted my droid a while ago, and loved the rom manager...

is there rom manager support?

Yea there is man. Go to the development thread and one of the stickies is for the wiki development page. That will have the basics and link you to the needed pages with directions. The rom manager we use on epic is clockwork recovery rom manager. Its simple to use and easy to install. Read up though first.

Default problem backing up my current ROM

everytime I use ROM Manager to backup my current ROM it goes to Recovery and then when I reboot the phone nothing shows up my Manage and Restore backups in ROM Manager.

Any thoughts?

Use backup and restore within cwm, not rom manager.

But you should be able to do this from ROM manager, right?

Rom manager sucks for the epic. You need to use a custom kernel to use rom manager. It won't flash cwm for you on stock kernel.

Bj do you have cwm installed? Clockwork mod is a custom recovery mod. You use to NAND backup, flash, partition, clear battery stats and mire. You can only install it from a pc.
