Please be patient while root is being worked on by myself.
The mount points need to be adapted from the process I have in mind and it might take a while.
In the mean time, I would encourage everybody to join the freenode irc we have going and join the cause.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=epic-touch4g
Checklist.
[] Obtain root with a certain method on a stock Epic Touch.
[] Pull stock zImage.
[] Pull initramfs.
[] Build kernel with root.
Good luck ....bubby!!

As a former Epic 4G user, I hope you are correct. Our dev section was and is a bit of a wasteland. We had very few ROM updates from Sprint and were it not for Samfirmware, we still would not have Gingerbread.

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.
There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?

Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.

I randomly pmed times_infinity bugging him for help as well, and he gave me a whole host of more updated files he's been using. That makes him awesome. Seriously, everyone is being so awesome to me. With any luck, I will have a (probably glitchy, most likely alpha) build of just straight vanilla ICS for our phones soon. Its a ROM I have been wanting for a while. I also know vanilla will be a good base to build off of, so, once it is solid, I will be allowing any dev to use my ROM without having to ask my permission first.

it may have used to, but they have been changed a few times, and have some ff18 props, which also dont boot..
