A few questions before I root.

[Zzim]

So I want to root my phone so I cna gain the tether and wifi tether features on my phone.

If I have all the current updates on my phone is it still possible to root with the one click option.

Are there and good YouTube videos with walkthroughs on flashing roms and rooting the epic?

Also after I root the phone are there any must have apps or anything I should put on my phone.


Thanks for the help!

Pretty easy the steps are baisically these

Do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388

From there you are rooted and have the recovery for flashing new stuff and the rest is optional

If it still says DI07 under Settings > About Phone > Baseband version

You should download the lastest DI18 update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797090

It's the one that says "Update to DI18 - flashes new DI18 kernel" at least that's the one I used and it worked.

The best WiFi tether I have found is the Mobile AP one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804

After that I'd go with the MixUp Kernal with VooDoo better battery life and the VooDoo is for color and brightness enhancements in the AMOLED screen.

Anyway... that's what I did works for me
