Root Installation aborted

ok so im new to the whole root thing so im sorry if i'm asking a stupid question or posting in the wrong spot but here i go...

So i have the Epic 4g and i rooted my phone using the one click root that i got from here and everything went ok. I tried putting the bonsai rom on my phone and it said installation aborted. I did a little bit more reading and saw that it needed ec05, i am running di18. So i tried downloading a zip that updates me from di18 to ec05 and i tried running it and it did the same thing..installation aborted. What do i do, or what am i doing wrong. Once again sorry if im posting wrong or making a fool out of myself im really new to all this

I would odin back to stock, in the sticky where you found the one click root but in post #5. Let your phone do the ota to ec05. I believe bonsai has its own "one click" and recovery, different from cwm and i haven't tried it. So you may want to check out their site for that.

Definately check out the Bonsai Master Key Unlocker program they got going on. Its more than one click but it shows screenshots of your device to get it going, it's a really nice interface and very graceful while rooting :)

I would definitely try their unlocker

Yea their unlocker is really user friendly, just start it up and its a piece of cake. Takes you through all the steps you need to do on your phone and it couldn't be any simpler of a procedure :)
