You need to back up and sit down Sparky..

I don't know to whom you were referring but either Mattix or RWilco know what they are talking about..

So go sit down some where and have a nice glass of shut the hell up..

Oh, wait, I have quit smoking this week so I'm cranky, but yeah, you're a tool for your post so I'll take a hit on this one..

No, use Framaroot or the One Click method-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252, this is for GB and the links are probably dead

Don't see why not, in theory. Can you show us a screenshot from the system settings/about device (shows your software version, baseband, &c).

That's not the same model, this is the SGH-D710, I think you have the US Cellular variant.

S2 running EL29 Frimware and Android 2.X "Waiting for Device"

I have an S2 / Epic 4G running the EL29 Firmware. It is rooted and I wanted to install CWM on it so I can install a custom ROM. I downloaded one of the available auto root packages - but it doesn't appear to be able to correctly talk to the device. I get this far. USB Debugging is enabled and to the best of my ability to check, storage mode is not on. KIES is not running, but has been installed in order to install the proper drivers. It seems to be an adb issue. I wait a little then terminate.

Suggestions?

INSTALL BootImg - EL29+CWM-Rogue (requires ROOT)


Please verify ALL of the following:

USB Debugging is ENABLED

USB Storage Mode is DISABLED

Samsung USB/Android drivers are INSTALLED

Phone is connected to USB port and recognized

Press any key to continue . . .

    This guide is for directly rooting EG30/EG31/EK02 (NOT EL13/newer) Android for the Samsung E4GT using a 100% automated script.

    If you want a Rooted EL13/newer+CWM use the appropriate pre-rooted ODIN thread [EL13/EL26/EL29],
    then come back here and use Option C to install EL13/newer+CWM (NOTE: a GB kernel/zImage will NOT allow an ICS ROM to boot)

    If you want a Rooted FB15/newer+CWM use the appropriate pre-rooted ODIN thread
    [FB15/FB17/FB21/FB27/FC05/FC06/FC07/FC13/FC14/FC15/FC18/FC22/FC24]
    [FD02/FD05/FD10/FD16/FD19/FD24/FD26/FE07/FE10/FE14/FE16/FE21/FE22]
    [FF02/FF09/FF11/FF18]
    then come back here and use Option D to install FB15/newer+CWM (NOTE: an ICS kernel/zImage will NOT allow a GB ROM to boot)

    This root method uses your EXISTING kernel/initramfs/recovery/rom, so it shouldn't suffer from LOS (unless you had LOS with stock to start with)

    Nothing is flashed, so you just get your existing setup with the addition of ROOT.
    This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle nor will it increase your ODIN flash count.

    If you are on Mac or Linux see Reference Section B
    If you want CWM see Reference Section C (to install an official OTA update, reinstall the non-CWM version PRIOR to accepting)

    Videos by qbking77 [Install Root / Install CWM] thespotlite [Install ANY User-Provided zImage/Recovery]

    [Optional] If you are looking to start fresh, first perform the appropriate ODIN Restore
    [EG30/EK02/EL13/EL26/EL29]
    [FB15/FB17/FB21/FB27/FC05/FC06/FC07/FC13/FC14/FC15/FC18/FC22/FC24]
    [FD02/FD05/FD10/FD16/FD19/FD24/FD26/FE07/FE10/FE14/FE16/FE21/FE22]
    [FF02/FF09/FF11/FF18]

    0) Backup anything important
    With this particular ROOT procedure there is very little chance something bad will happen, but it is good practice to backup before making any changes.

    1) Prerequisites Checklist
    USB Debugging is ENABLED - [Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging]
    USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default - pic]
    Samsung [USB/Android drivers] are INSTALLED
    Phone is connected to USB port and recognized

    2) Download the E4GT automated rooting package
    Lite versions contain EG30/EK02/EL26/EL29 and 3 latest versions of ICS (most people will use this), Full versions have all versions
    NEW: Even easier self-extractor for windows (Just run .exe - SKIP Unzip and Step #3) e4gtauto-sfx.exe [Lite / Full]
    Download the E4GT automated rooting package e4gtauto.zip [Lite / Full]
    UNZIP to top-level directory of your C: drive

    Note #1: zergrush is a known exploit being used to root your phone. Your Anti-Virus software may quarantine or cause the download to be incomplete. Disable your Anti-Virus software if needed so the download can complete.

    3) Run the E4GT automated rooting package
    From PC command prompt, run "runfirst" and select Option A:
    (if you have an aversion to typing, you can use file explorer to navigate to C:\e4gtauto and double-click on RUNFIRST.bat)
    Code: 
    c:
cd \e4gtauto
runfirst

    4) You are DONE!
    You can now use market apps that require root. To unroot, redo Step #3, use Option B. If you want CWM, see Reference Section C

    Note #1 - Keep in mind, should you CHOOSE to run "su", you MIGHT be prompted for permissions on the phone's screen the first time it is run. If you don't realize that, you'll get "permission denied" and think the root didn't work. Make sure your phone is NOT on the lock screen or you won't see the prompt. It is NOT required that you run "su". You ARE ROOTED regardless.

    Note #2 - It is suggested you run your phone as "stock rooted" for at least 1 day before you start installing custom ROMs. This will help you narrow down issues should they arise. Also be aware that some custom ROMs install their own BootImg/zImage/Kernel/Recovery so the "stock" Kernel+CWM you installed using this tool might get overwritten. If you experience kernel-related issues, see if your custom ROM included a zImage.

    B) ALTERNATE - Manual rooting instructions (substitute for Step #3)
    Install the rooting files to the phone and start adb shell
    Code: 
    c:
cd \e4gtauto
install
adb shell
    Note #1 - If you are on Mac or Linux, the previous "install" step just copies some files to the phone. Unzip the package to your adb tools directory, then you can substitute with:
    Code: 
    adb push copy2tmp /data/local/tmp/
adb push copy2sd /sdcard/
adb push copy2sd-img /sdcard/
adb shell

    Run the exploit (do not type the $ symbols)
    Code: 
    $ cd /data/local/tmp
$ /system/bin/sh install-zerg.sh

    The previous step will take a few minutes. Assuming it is successful, it will kick you out of "adb shell". Restart "adb shell"
    Code: 
    adb shell

    Your adb shell should now have the # prompt indicating temporary root. Proceed to install persistent root and cleanup the temp rooting files, followed by rebooting the phone (do not type the # symbols)
    Code: 
    # cd /sdcard/000root
# /system/bin/sh install-root.sh
# /system/bin/sh install-cleanup.sh
# reboot

    C) BootImg support
    Various BootImgs are included (need to install ROOT first before these can be used):
    EG30+CWM - this is the stock EG30 kernel (not recompiled) with the additional of CWM5 to the initramfs (see chris41g's thread)
    EG30 - this is the stock EG30 kernel (not recompiled) with the stock initramfs/recovery (ie this is completely stock) - pulled from shipping phone
    EG31+CWM - this is the stock EG31 (ie EG30-Rev5) kernel, repacked with CWM5.
    EG31 - this is the stock EG31 (ie EG30-Rev5) kernel/initramfs/recovery. Allows people who flashed E31 ODIN TAR, the ability to restore the original EG31 kernel.
    EK02+CWM - this is the stock EK02 kernel, repacked with CWM5.
    EK02 - this is the stock EK02 kernel/initramfs/recovery. Allows people who installed the Sprint EK02 OTA update, the ability to restore the original EK02 kernel.
    EL13/26/29+CWM - these are the stock EL13/26/29 kernels, repacked with CWM.
    EL13/26/29 - these are the stock EL13/26/29 kernel/initramfs/recovery. Allows people who installed the leaked EL13/26/29, the ability to restore the original EL13/26/29 kernel.
    FB15/17/21/27/FC06/07/18/22/24/FD02/FF02/09/11+CWM - these are the respective stock kernels, repacked with CWM.
    FB15/17/21/27/FC05/06/07/13/14/15/18/22/24/FD02/05/10/16/19/24/26/FE07/10/14/16/21/22/FF02/09/11 - these are the stock kernels/initramfs/recovery. Allows people who installed the leaked releases, the ability to restore the original kernel.

    In addition, generic support to install any kernel+initramfs (zImage) you want is provided:
    zImage - place the zImage file (case sensitive) in the e4gtauto\copy2sd\000root directory and choose the zImage option to install

    Swapping between the included BootImgs while on Stock EG30 ROM is relatively safe. However once you start flashing custom ROMs and advanced kernels/initramfs compatibility issues may arise. It is best to BACKUP important data.

    IMPORTANT: GB kernels (and kernels+CWM) will only boot with GB ROMs. ICS kernels (and kernels+CWM) will only boot with ICS ROMs. Do NOT mix/match GB kernels with ICS ROMs and vice versa. Other than that it is relatively safe to mix/match different GB kernels with different GB ROMs and different ICS kernels with different ICS ROMs.

    Note #1 - Everytime you install a BootImg, Cache and Dalvik-Cache will be wiped for consistency. Cache and Dalvik-Cache get recreated during the boot process so your first boot will take a little longer than usual. This is normal.

    D) Included scripts
    Included in the E4GT automated rooting package are various scripts which make life easier.

    In particular, scripts are included to (you must have temporary or persistent root to run these):
    - install persistent root
    - uninstall root (unroot)
    - install EG30/EG31/EK02/EL13/EL26/EL29/FB15/FB17/FB21/FB27/FC06/FC07/FC18/FC22/FC24/FD02/FF02/FF09/FF11+CWM BootImg/zImage
    - install EG30/EG31/EK02/EL13/EL26/EL29/FB15/FB17/FB21/FB27/FC05/FC06/FC07/FC13/FC14/FC15/FC18/FC22/FC24/FD02/FD05/FD10/FD16/FD19/FD24/FD26/FE07/10/14/16/FF02/09 BootImg/zImage (stock versions from Samsung)
    - install CIQ Disable
    - install CIQ Enable
    - enable ICS USB Mass Storage Mode
    - enable ICS USB MTP Mode
    - init.d support add/remove
    - advanced tools add/remove
    - wipe dalvik-cache
    - perform OTA Compliance Check EG30-EK02
    - perform OTA Compliance Check EK02-EL29

    The general pattern to run all these scripts is the same (pick which .sh you want to run to accomplish your goal, BOLD scripts would undo your actions and get you back to where you started):

    Open an adb shell session to your phone (do not type the $ and # symbols)
    $ su
    # cd /sdcard/000root
    # /system/bin/sh install-root.sh

    This is for the FAQ section:

    What happened to USB Storage in ICS, how do I get the old GB behavior back?

    You may have noticed that ICS ROMs by default will configure the USB port for MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. MTP mode may be more convenient for some people as it can coexist with USB debugging better, but the transfers are much slower and if you don't have the OS driver support (Mac/Linux) the USB drives may not show up.

    Most people prefer to have the behavior from GB ROMs where you could drag the notification bar, click on the USB symbol, and manually enable USB Mass Storage mode.

    With earlier versions of ICS, you could do this less conveniently using the menu->settings->more->USB Utilities configuration page.

    Starting with ICS release FC22, the USB Utilities configuration page is no longer present. This presents the user with a problem as they cannot enable USB Mass Storage using the UI.

    The Auto Root package has a solution for you. Under "Extra Options" of the main menu, there are 2 choices that affect ICS mass storage:

    1) Enable ICS USB Mass Storage Mode
    2) Enable ICS USB MTP Mode

    These are mutually exclusive options. If you enable one, you disable the other.

    To get GB USB Mass Storage behavior, choose the first option (USB Mass Storage Mode). This option once chosen, will be persistent through reboots and is stored in your Android User Data. It will only get reset if you reset your Android User Data or manually choose a different mode.

    This was tested with the FC22 release, but theoretically should work with any of the ICS releases.

    Technical Details:
    There is a property which controls how the USB storage should behave. You can see the value of this property by typing in "adb shell"

    Code: 
    # getprop persist.sys.usb.config
mtp,adb
# setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
# getprop persist.sys.usb.config
mass_storage,adb

    When Android is first installed with a clean reset of the /data partition, this value is retrieved from the default provided in the /default.prop file. The /default.prop file is contained in the kernel's initramfs. Some solutions for the ICS USB Mass Storage annoyance modify the information in this file so the value is set to mass storage mode from the beginning. This does work, but has the side effect of a kernel which is no longer signed by Samsung (ie you'll increase your ODIN flash count and trigger the yellow triangle if you flash in ODIN)

    Alternatively, you can set this value after Android is installed and it will be stored persistently in your Android User Data. This is the approach Auto Root takes as I prefer to have packages which do not affect the ODIN flash count nor trigger the yellow triangle.

    If you would like to change this value using an App within Android see this entry in Android Market.
