I am from the EVO camp and my buddy has an Epic 4g. He is interested in rooting but is totally new to it. I am somewhat proficient with the EVO, but obviously not the Epic. I guess my biggest question, and a very basic one at that, is how to boot into recovery on the epic? And it seems that the one click root method installs clockworkmod on the phone as part of the install? I just want to confirm that? ANd I guess navigating the clockworkmod recovery menu is similar to the EVO(I know many people can't answer that but it would help if somebody could)? I guess all I am really looking for is what keys do what for navigating the menu....up...down...enter...
Anyway, I want to help him root his phone but I do not want to get it rooted and then send him off into the ignorant wilderness with no basic knowledge of what is going on. I want to be able to show him how to get into the menu and do a nandroid and be able to flash a ROM or a recovery or kernel or whatever.
Thank y'all so much for reading and in advance for the advice!!!!
And I may be getting ahead of myself, but what Wireless Tether .apk works best with this phone....we get VERY mixed results on the EVO.
