This is great, thanks.
But when you say buggy, what do you mean exactly? Which parts are buggy?

good to see you here man, i miss testing for you on the og epic.

so how did you install superuser?

teh roxxorz · Jun 22, 2012

Its been a while since I used a samsung, how do I get into recovery again?

noobnl · Jun 22, 2012

in recovery, download the superuser 3.0.7, extract it, then
adb push Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed/system /system
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

No, it isn't magic and it isn't hard...

See, did that, and it didn't boot into recovery for me, but odin said all went well, so i was confused.

I knew it, thank you, was doing that as I typed this.

Edit: Still nothing, I saw a quick blue text like it was going into recovery, but then nothing.

Edit 2: I remembered you basically have to let it go at that point. All is good in my hood.

On the et4g it was volume up and power..
Find an application in the market that will reboot to recovery.
There are a bunch.
Rom Manager
Rom tool box
Absolute system root
You can also adb recovery as well..

Would you please post a link to su 3.0.7?

nabbed · Jun 22, 2012

Can I flash superuser zip from recovery?
I can't get adb working from recovery... What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

I installed Samsung USB drivers, but the phone isn't recognized as an adb device while in recover,,,

I generally use adb when booted into the OS, and then do the remount on a pc with the sdk installed. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed.

Can't do remount w/o root.
