Sprint Epic 4G Rooted Before Launch

Members of the Android community have done it again by gaining root access on the unreleased Samsung Epic 4G. This device is not yet available to the public, but as you can see, some lucky folks who already have the device have already done it. Those of you who plan on rooting your Epic 4G on launch day, the method already works. That makes 3 out of 4 Galaxy S devices rooted so far. Let’s see if theÂ Fascinate can meet the same fate before launch.

This root method requires adb commands and the instructions are provided below. Enjoy!

Run these commands thru adbÂ
adb push c:downloadsrageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmpÂ
adb shellÂ
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.binÂ
cd /data/local/tmpÂ
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Exit out of the adb shell, and type adb shell again. This time it should drop you to # instead of $.

If it goes back to $, run the exploit again,Â
cd /data/local/tmpÂ
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

And exit out of adb and then adb shell again to see if it’s #

If it doesnt work the first time, repeat 4-5 times and let us know. It should work!
