Root [FroYo] 2.2!!! Download Here! Samsung EPIC

[BThomas22x]

This is for test purposes only. It's been deodexed, zipaligned, and pre-rooted for your convenience. It's been fully tested, and you shouldn't have to clear/wipe data to run this. This WILL Flash a new kernel.

http://firon.net/xda/froyo-beta-deodexed_v4.2.signed.zip

Known Issues...

1. Browsing can be slower than 2.1, and can also checkerboard a fair bit. Try using DolphinHD or Opera instead.

2. Audio sometimes skips while using 3G.

3. Auto brighness needs to be toggled once before auto brightness slider works.

NOTES!

First boot can take up to 5 minutes.
Download flash 10.1 from market for best performance.
DO NOT use DI18 kernels with this.

All credit for the original leak goes to noobnl and whosdaman.

There you go!

Ok so I know this is going to be a silly question.
But I got to ask is there a how to install anywhere or can anybody tell me what to do to get this on my epic and yes I'm new so please go easy on me I'm just trying to learn.

No worries ...the first thing you have to do is root your phone. After you have it rooted, you have to install clockwork on it. Finally you download the zip file, and flash it through the clockworkmod recovery. (install zip from sdcard)-(choose zip from sd card)... after that, all will be up and running... within the next couple days, i will have a custom rom up for this, so check back regularly

I think I better google how to root phone first and then take it from there and also where to find clockwork. Thanks

You can find both the one click root, and the one click clockworkmod on xda forums ...head on over and give it a try

Got it up and running and my buddy's phone. Seems to work just fine. The only issue we ran across is when hitting the home button for the first time, it asks which launcher to use. We chose one(don't remember which) and the Phone portion of the launcher does not work....it says something like "This application is not installed on your phone)... The touchwiz phone icon is right there so you can launch the dialer/phone without issue. Just worried me for a split second when the phone didn't launch!!! Other than that, he has it on his phone and I would assume it is working normally. We will find out over time.
