EA28 OTA

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/

The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.

just got mine... I'm gonna have a seizure in a public place to test it out.

Does any one know if one click root will work with this update

It worked for me on DL09 and this isn't that much different so I'd say yes.

There is a thread on ODIN. Simple directions, I thought.

So how does one "Make instantaneous emergency calls from a locked device in a time of need"?

Just as a side note if your having to redo the phone from scratch make sure to put the pit file in the pit on odin otherwise the phone will not activate!

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!

I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?

Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

Why suggest people to mess with pit in odin? You do NOT need to do this. Geez, people make this mistake enough on their own. Pda, choose file, press start... thats it.

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?

You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

Freaking out here might have bricked my phone...

So I was told to install the deodexed [sp] of the GB leak, so I did on top of my rooted, non deodexed version, without wiping. After this I wiped my data a few times, as I heard it would be best to do. Well, after doing so... my phone won't stop bootlooping. I can't access the bootstrapped bootloader, only the stock Moterola one, and I cleared my data with it hoping it would work too...
Help please? How do I "sbf" back to stock or whatever?

Yeah, I don't think it was possible to go from orginial GB leak straight to the rooted one.
You will need RSDLite 4.8 or higher and 2.3.340 sbf file. Both should be easily findable with a Google search. Follow SBF instructions from there.

I hope its ok to post this link here:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html

I did everything it told me to in that guide, but the spf got to 99% and said it failed. Now my phone says "code corrupt" on the bootloader screen fml

tried flashing it again, same thing happened. It failed at "switching phone to BP pass through" apparently. help me please

this is totally being lazy AND the reason why everyone is raising their prices on insurance and why ppl like motorola are locking bootloaders. if it is too much or you're too lazy to do it. dont do it in the first place. sbf isnt hard there are a gazillion guides to sbf'ing. not trying to be rude but seriously?

Yeah, I spf'd just fine (twice now cause I'm dumb lol) so problem solved. I would like some help in my other topic though, about GB deodexed.

you have to sbf to .340 use z4 root to root then install DX bootstraper reboot to recovery flash gbrooted.zip if you get stuck in bootloop go into factory recovery and wipe data reboot download and install D2 bootstrapper yes D2, boot into recovery and flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip and let it try and boot it SHOULD bootup after a couple of minutes, if it doesnt get into stock recovery and wipe data, reboot
also it could bootloop because of corrupt downloads

'I was messing with my phone a bit i was going through the settings and i came across the update menu and i seen that i had an update so i went on ahead and tried to update it....so i was waiting for it to download on my status bar andd when it finished it went to another screen were it had triangle with an exclamation mark and the little android thing in the back so i waited for it to finish updated and when it finished it booted up and screen was black saying code corrup"
I don't really talk like that,but I was trying to make it seem as if i don't know much about phones.They have to send you another phone because they will think it's a manufacturing problem...

slfdjgdkkjfh! Damnit! I've been working on this all day and just now realized that the issue was that I wasn't using D2 bootstrap, I was still using the DX one and flashing deodexed right after the rooted one.

Yes it was a problem that I caused but at that momment I got scared and wasn't sure what I was suppose to do,and because I have no internet at home because i'm never home I use wireless tether when im there and my phone was messed up so wasn't able to look at guides to fix it.....So the easiest thing I thought of is calling them.I wouldn't have mind fixing it but again I wasn't able to at that momment.

I had the same thing happen. Put the letter p at the end of the file name and move it to c:\ this worked for me on rsd lite 4.8 I just kept pulling the battery and retrying until it went through

I'd just like to point out that you don't actually need rsd lite 4.8 or higher. 4.7 has worked perfectly for me the several times I have SBF'ed

go with the no wipe factory restore... The file is big, but thats probably the only thing that can get you working.

Try to reflash and then do the data wipes by pulling the battery before it boots after the stock image is installed.
