Two weeks ago i received the ji6 update
last night, my phone received a firmware update
i thought it was the froyo update
i installed the new firmware
once i installed it, i noticed i was missing features
i no longer had the task manager or media Hub
i checked my phone's info and the firmware update actually brought me back to 2.1 update1
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Both the original JFD and the OTA JI6 (as well as all the intermediary leaked firmwares) are 2.1 update1. 2.1 update1 denotes the current revision of Eclair itself, while JFD and JI6 denote revisions of Samsung's verion of 2.1 update1.
So take a peek again and see which version of Samsung's baseband is installed.
it says T959UVJFD
To see your baseband and firmware versions, make sure to use Settings/About Phone..
Seems like we're serving as test beds for the Sammy dev's, maybe not such a bad thing.The j16 update fixed my hardware locked phone. I'm hoping they resolve the battery draining issues before, or with 2.2.

Well, it's safe to say for whatever reason your back on the stock firmware the phone shipped with...
Happened to me as well, its because JI6 was pulled for being "not so great" (it was bricking too many phones)
I know this isn't a Cliq forum but my wife is getting an operating system update on her Cliq right now - I wonder if she is beating me to Froyo??!
Edit: I suppose she is actually getting eclair.
This may be a dumb question but: should I be worried that this hasn't happened to me as of yet?
A buddy of mine has had three updates on his. Weird.

Do you have any actual evidence to support the claim that JI6 was "pulled" (I assume you mean by TMO/Samsung)?
JI6 was never pulled and it is actually a great update. Sped the phone up a bit, added some new things, and made the GPS decent. Besides the bricking (which was probably user error) no problems.

Have to disagree with the "great update" part. lol
But as far as the update being pulled, with no word from T-Mo of it being pulled I called BS. Furthermore, why would they push an update to phones and revert them back to JFD? Doesn't make sense.
Same thing happened to me this AM. I recieved an exchange unit yesterday, because after the JI6 update, the GPS still would fluctuate all over the map which was especially frustrating when navigating because the app would continuously reroute you. Received the exchange unit, got it set up the way my old phone was, and made sure to check the baseband version. It had JI6. Woke up this morning with an icon similar to the missed call icon, clicked on it, and it said there was a new update from TMobile. Performed update which took about 10 minutes, then checked to see what was different. Checked the basband version and it is now T959UVJFD. Checked GPS with GPS status, and I have strong signal from 13 satelites, but only locked on to 2 with 143 ft accuracy... Last night before the update had accuracy to 12 ft. WTF!

I got an OTA last night and now I am running Windows Phone 7, some weird stuff happening here 0.o
Possible Theory
While I haven't received either the official OTA, nor the mysterious overnight one, I have a question. Is it possible that the overnight push to revert is an attempt at scrubbing the unofficial JI6 updates from the phone only to install the actual official one? So if we chose to update through Kies originally when it was leaked or some other method, could the be T-mobiles way of resetting and executing?

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Is this T-mobiles attempt to flush out the bad update? But why waste the resources to push out a revert "update" to phones? Who knows, it's some kind of consipiracy.

A poster on another forum claims the same reversion OTA just happened on his phone, and it wasn't even rooted, which wouldn't fit your theory. Although just getting all the relevant facts in these situations is often the biggest obstacle.
Maybe they need to roll us back in preparation for Froyo?
I know, I know, it makes no sense, but none of this makes sense.

Yes, I contacted them. They gave me some BS reason that I was reverted, and told me that they would put me on a list to get the JI6 update, and that it would take 2-3 days, so who knows....

This german site apparantly has first-hand information that Samsung is planning to roll out the Froyo update mid-September, via Kies of course...
This makes me wonder how close to final the JPC update was...
Also, Kies ist just downloading an update (and taking forever to do it) which might also point at things approaching some kind of big release. I have no idea whether the GPS fixes and Lag fixes will be included in this mid-September release, but I'd guess it's pretty unlikely since the last info from Samsung was that they are "looking into it" implying that they don't really know yet. Maybe we'll at least see some improvement, test runs with Jm6, Jm7 and JPc indicate that GPS performance is being worked on at least.
We'll see what September will give us and then start hoping for October updates...
I'm watching the new version of Kies trickle on to my PC as I type... I was thinking the same... is this a new Kies which won't brick Bell user's phones when they try to upgrade to Froyo!? It seems finding out what's new will take a while though... been downloading this update for about an hour already... and still have 37meg to go! S

I suppose this is in line with the same line of announcements that were stating that a Korean Froyo would be available by end of August...
Mine just finished. So far all it's telling me is that I can't update from JPC...well...that#s not exactly new, but it also isn't mid-September yet...^^
I"m kinda noob @ android stuff , atm I got the Galaxy S rooted with lag fix is kies the only possibility to get the new offical froyo soon? so yes , is there anyway a good tutorial for how to use kies..

I definitely think delaying past mid-September is a bad move. Many other high end phones using the official 2.2 builds for about a month or more.
Then again, the announcement on Korean Froyo turned out to give false hope to a guy like me. Someone was saying how Optus would be getting this because he heard from an Optus rep that they were. I stated at that time there are 3 days left in August and Korea hadn't been upgraded now we are entering the weekend and will probably end the weekend waking up on the 6th of Sept without Froyo, so if everything else gets delayed the same amount of time...it doesn't mean great things for the rollout.
That said, I do think the hardware is similar enough that I was originally surprised to hear they might get Froyo as many as two weeks before the next countr(y/ies). Maybe they will condense the rollout timeframe.
My Kies doesn´t find new version. Can anybody post the version number of the new one?
versionnumber is : 1.5.1.10074_45
Maybe a download link?
i have 1.5.1.10074_2 and it's the only one available on samsungmobile pages (at least for UK and my country)
mine isnt showing an update either. im running 1.5.1.10074_2

it started doing a download or something. then after maybe 20 seconds it went away and the program restarted and its back to the old version and doesnt show any updates available. wtf..

Nice, I have been waiting for an announcement like this. Can't wait to get 2.2, mainly for the chrome2phone feature and of course Flash.
So I woke up this morning with an OTA update pending. I updated thinking that tmo was finally pushing 2.2 over the air...
Well after the update, I am still on firmware 2.1-update1 but my baseband has been updated to KA2??
My kernel version is 2.6.29.
My build number is ECLAIR.UVKA6.
Why would they push this but no froyo?
The difference I have noticed is that my battery doesn't drain nearly as fast when my phone is on but not being used with the screen off (standby mode?).

If you were still on JI6, then you'd get this update. It's not Froyo.. Froyo was the KA6 update only available via Kies.
It has something to do with network compatibility, check the TMo forum.
So is Tmo ever going to release an OTA froyo? Or is the only source for froyo through kies?
That would be pretty weak if kies was the only source for update...
^I would say yes, because clearly they are still working on it since there are leaks post KA6. Hopefully it will be 2.2.1, they released KA6 to shut people up, imo
Yeh I got OTA last night around 11pm, so i thought finally it was a froyo, but then after, i realized it is still Eclair. But mine is Eclair.UVKA2, and 2.1-update1.
hmmm i wonder what it is though.
I'm running stock on my Vibrant and got the message about the KA2 update yesterday. It took about 5 minutes to download and install. Afterwards it was incredibly laggy: apps took forever to load and were slow once accessed, and couldn't get to the Market. Finally, an hour or so later and after 3 re-boots, the phone returned to normal behavior. Have yet to notice any features or performance differences, before vs. after.
So that's what that thing was. I'm running stock froyo.ka6, the device manager connected to server, thought I was getting an update but after 5 minutes it disappeared. My girlfriend's phone is eclair.ji6 and her device manager notification says there is an update pending, I told her to postpone it. She came over and it does indicate there is an update pending in the notification area but doesn't say which update. It would be nice if it would specify which update you were getting so you could decide if you want it or not. I'll update it tomorrow...
My wife got the update as well and I haven't noticed anything different at all. I rooted and flashed clockword after the OTA and there weren't any problems. Not sure what the hell the update was.
Hey all,
Quick question. Does anyone know how often or how our phones query the server for update checks? Is the software first downloaded before asking us if we want to upgrade? Does the sync icon light up while it is downloading? Does our battery charge need to over x to before the software either downloads and/or notify us?
I'm curious as to how the entire process works.
Thanks.

I have an Evo, but I follow the tech news. Software updates are released in waves so that if there are issues with an update, they are isolated and they can stop sending them out. Essentially, the first wave are the guinea pigs. I'm not sure how they decide who gets them, but I'm pretty sure it's random. You will be notified on your own when you can grab the update. It starts on the 21st and everyone should have the update by the 25th. Of course, you can probably just find the update online once it's out and do it yourself:

When the update is available to your phone, it will download it silently in the background. Once the download is complete, you will get a notification that an update is ready to install. As long as you have enough battery left, you will have the option to install it. Otherwise you will be prompted to plug into your charger.
As far as the frequency your phone checks for updates, I'm not sure other than at boot time.
Sent from an Epic I haven't bricked yet.
Also, I believe the updates are 'pushed', which is to say, Sprint contacts your phone directly not vice versa.
Given how infrequent updates are, having your phone poll for them would be a wasted process.
Our phones already poll for app updates through the market and the update is hosted on googles servers.
I don't think it is too far fetched that our phones are notified somehow through this process?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It would make sense, with the 'wave' method mentioned above, that it's just pushed. Thats the fun! Back when I used to odin to D*27 to let it OTA DI18, it would happen really randomly, anywhere from instant to half an hour... never waited longer though, as its open to request, I just 'check for updates' of it was taking too long. Either way, unless you are one of the first wave, I would wait for XDA's Devs to look over the one from the first wave, and then DL their update... Im sure they will get one from the first wave... I will probly Odin to DI18 tomorrow night and wait, just for fun, as I do agree there is an attraction to that, kind of like when you get a surprise PS3 update that gives you some new unlocked functionality... reminds you why you bought it... course with this phone, we would feel that way if it were more timely, but hey, theres the future...

I don't believe they would do it that way. A vast majority of users are on the latest while there is probably a minority who didn't update past DI07. They get the latest first and then get the stragglers in the later days.

A software update to EB13 (Froyo) is available for the Samsung Epic 4G via Google OTA. Customers will become eligible for the
upgrade across a 4-day period based on their status with the Google servers. 67% of users are currently on SW DI18 so the first
OTA package we will publish will be an upgrade from DI18 – Froyo (DL11). We will be publishing hop upgrades from DG27 – Froyo
and DI07 – Froyo as soon as possible following the initial release
OTA Duration time is dependent on current device usage: 10 – 25 minutes, with installation time of 6-8 minutes
from the leaked .pdf from the first day, after the screenshots. thanks to whoever leaked it! DI18 is priority, you cant really sit on the older versions, I think those 'hop updates' are for old stock sitting around with the old versions waiting to be activated. Oh and the DL11 is a typo, they just cut and pasted from a previous release most likely...

maybe it will be automatically updated with a script when they start the ota's. idk, just a guess.
UPDATE PROCESS: The software update will be delivered as a wireless download (over-the-air, or OTA) in waves starting on February 21. All Samsung Epic 4G owners should have access to the download by the end of the week (Feb. 25).
Once your Epic is in the queue and eligible to download the update, a message will be pushed to your device saying that a software update is available. If you are not yet in the queue and you attempt to check for a software update manually, you will receive a message saying “no upgrade is available”. This simply means your device isn’t in the current wave of updates.
All customers should have access to the update by the end of the week (Feb. 25).
just got this off sprint site.... so phones dont check... pushed, and you cannot even manually trigger it... I even Odin'd to DI18 a bit ago, to see if I could trigger it activating DI18... no dice. OK... whos in wave 1... cough it up!
Whosdaman,
Just curious, can I ask why contact you first? Are you aware of something I haven't read?
I'm rooted and rommed, but watching hubby's unrooted (won't let me touch or mess and screw up his!! Doesn't believe me I can fix whatever I break!!) Epic.
Really do appreciate someone looking out for everyone. I am going to hold on his until I see some positive results, because I can't fix what Sprint breaks!!
I just Odin'd back to DL09 and OTA'd up and ended up with ED03. akatcl over at AC posted an hour ago so I was in the flashing mood (when am I not). I verified a new OTA drop from Verizon ED03 with same kernel.

I'm in the process of doing the same, the froyo ota is currently downloading on my phone. I've looked all over the web for reports of this and haven't found anything, even checked the samsung open source website, doesn't seem to show this update, but sure enough it seems to be there nonetheless.

Seems to be true thus far as the link Skate provided has pictures of akatcl's phone showing ED03. My update is soon to be done and I'll report back my findings.
It might just be a small update to fix a bug, kinda like what EA28 was for DL09. Regardless, I think I'm gonna go to EA28 and see what this new update is about.

Yes, very possible. But the strangest thing is.. when you're completely stock ED01 it doesn't find any new updates when you check now within system updates in settings. I had to flashed the DI01 package and OTAed to EA28 then the froyo OTA after and instead of getting ED01 like usual, you get ED03. Now the big question is, why do you have to do that in order to get ED03 and why hasn't there been any announcements.. Also why is the build number dated two days after ED01.. That's very strange for it to be just a fix. Guess in the coming hours/days hopefully things will unfold.
It's probably for the phones that are stuck on DL09 and EA28 that wont accept ED01

Hey, that's a pretty good theory... That sure would be good for them people having that issue.
I was planning to go comrom1.3 tonight so I went through the DL09->OTA process and ended up with ED03 as well.
Hmm.. I may have to see if I can get the ED03 on my phone.

EDIT: Okay guys, I found something REALLY weird. If you're on ED03 and check for new updates, there IS another update. It's called SCH-1500_EA28_ED03_Commercial_Package. Unless this just replaced the old ED03 update, this is a bit odd.
EDIT2: ...And I can't seem to download it.

EDIT3: Now the update that I was talking about is no longer available.
EDIT4: Okay, so I just checked and apparently I'm already on that commercial package, so nevermind, I just wasted your time if you read all of this.

haha i just felt some brain cells die! haha
I'm noticing nothing different at first glance with ED03 compared to ED01... Really wish they would of posted an announcement as to what this is. This is all pretty strange.
Well this is an interesting new development. Especially considering there has not been any announcements about it.

I just noticed something... [Edit: as Tkun just posted]
In the "status" of the update screen, it lists it as
I500_EA28-ED03_Commercial Package. (and amusingly links to the VZW page with info on ED01).
Did ED01 mention EA28? It is sounding like it is meant to solve the problem of those stuck on DL09.
I'm running this now too. This is pretty strange.
Software Fixes with – i500.ED03
1) A software change was made to address a FOTA over the air upgrade issue which would have prevented users from getting the next software version pushed to the device. They would only be able to pull it.
2) Addressed an issue were the camera checks to see if it have the latest software and incorrectly reports it is up to date
3) A software change was made so that geo-tagging of pictures taken with the camera is not attempted since the device does not support this capability

Yep. Only tested for 2 days.
Hopefully adryn can get a hold of it from his peeps!!! I smell Odin Radio plsssssss
So i recieved a notifaction today that my samsung epic was eligable for the gingerbread 2.3 update. Knowing not to get my hopes up, I followed the instructions to update, but my phone kept telling me my current andriod version was up to date.
I called sprint technical support which was the biggest waste of two hours of my life. They ended up screwing up my phone, which I had to manually get working again.
I finally called my local sprint store to see what was going on, and he told me that spring PULLED the samsung epic 2.3 update because many clients were reporting problems with their phones. He told me it would become available again in the next 3-4 weeks. I have no idea how he would know this information, but im leaning towards speculation. 3-4 weeks is 6-8 months in sprint langunage. He said his is working completely fine, and he would be fine with me to come down and he will manually put it on my phone for me, but warned if my phone bricked, it would be stuck that way (aka i would have to use odin to send it back to stock).
I manually put the E122 version on my phone and so far have ZERO problems. Is anyone else aware of sprint jumping the gun on this one and pulling this update?
I've had the Epic since day 1.
They have pulled EVERY-SINGLE-UPDATE in the history of Epic updates.
It's almost laughable. I can't wait to get a sprint phone that sprint and samsung dont mess with (nexus prime, etc)
I have the correct version right? EI22 is the latest and greatest?
What happens if sprint releases a newer update, will I have to manually remove this one and go back to froyo eco5, or will my phone update ok?
can you point me in the direction of the way you updated this with zero problems? thanks

Im not sure if your being sarcastic, but I will point you anyways.
Before anything, make sure you have FROYO ECO5 Installed, and nothing else.
1.)go to ww.gottabemobile.com/2011/11/09/samsung-epic-4g-gingerbread-update-rolling-out-can-be-manually-installed
2.)rename the zip file they have for you download to update (NOT UPDATE.ZIP, just UPDATE)
3.)put the file on your SD card
4.)start phone in boot mode
5.)update.zip will appear on the boot screen, select it.
your phone will update automatically.
Since it was an official release, EI22 should upgrade to the "GB fixed" version for the Epic, even if OTA is stopped. A quick google search doesn't confirm that the update was stopped. Not saying you're wrong, but could be misinformed.

I agree. I mean it made sense and all, considering i was unable to update via OTA and my phone said my andriod version was currently up to date.
I guess only a certain percentage of users are getting it at the moment? I dont know, I have it now and thats all that matters.
Only complaint I have is their new system they use to kill aps. I loved the fact I didnt need advanced APP killer with my epic, but this new interface is really confusing me.

OTA is being pushed to 100% of Epic users in 10 days instead of 3 like the Froyo updates.

The store told you this to get you off of their backs.
Were you rooted?
It will come, patience is a virtue.
No, im not rooted. I have the update now anyways, I downloaded directly from google and put it on my epic manually, so far so good.

My wife's stock epic had the same update notification and the same everything is up to date. So I talked to a friend who works at a sprint store and he explained the whole market queue thing for the update (unnecessarily I might add).
He then called support and talked to one of his buddies there who told him that they are getting slammed with calls about this and that they can't do a thing about it if the person isn't up in the queue.
Hell of a way to push an update.
go figure sprints always tryin to screw everyone they can. good thing we have devs and root to make them acutally work faster and better!
+1 to everyone who knows anything bout andriod
Sprint stated it would be completed over 8 days to ensure it goes smoothly. which means the 17th is the last day. Also it is not listed as suspended on their site. EB13 was immediately listed as suspended when they pulled it.
Sprint zone just sent me an update stating that gingerbread was available. I don't think they've pulled it. But hey its sprint so who the he'll knows! They'll probably wait until they push it to everyone and then pull it ;-)

EI22 killed my GPS
I dloaeded the stock EI22 and did the update and my GPS went totally dead. Even used Status/setup to try and get it going again to no avail. Went back to stock EC05 and it works like a charm....go figure. I'll just wait for the OTA and see if it works any different....

You just need the GPS fix. That's the only problem I see with stock ei22 and the fix makes it work fantastic. Even better than ec05 in my opinion.

Ota not canceled. My girlfriend and I both have epics. When sprint put update on their website I odin'd her phone back to stock ec05. Last night she got the sprint notification to update.

Yeah, that "your update is ready" message from Sprint is automated and isn't related to your spot in the queue. The same thing happend to me (I got the message days before the OTA was pushed to me) when Froyo got released. I can't tell you how many days before, I waited a day and a half and just did it manually.
yeah, that notification has no bearing on when you get the update. i got notified on my phone about the update hours after i already did the manual upgrade.
