*Edit*
I didnt see the original thread regarding the leak that was closed. I seen the tweet from noob the other night. The leak according to noob is very unstable and only given to a select few. Im glad it went to his hands first, to protect the source and in hope of putting out something stable. If not at least the source is protected and we me get a RC out of him later. Noobnl is great asset for the epic community and I think the bashing should stop and let them see what they can do. Hopefully they can put out a good base for other devs to work off of.
To noobnl
After reading through the op that's was closed you didn't really say much. Can you enlighten us as to this leak can be used for a rom soon or is it too unstable and ur waiting on another build?
lol the pic really doesnt prove anything.. these devs have skills and they can easily just put froyo in there..
he has a beta
ya dude.. he's the coolest kid in cool town right now.
noob is working on CM6 wich is a asop built from source based on froyo. that image is real as he got cm6 to boot but it is not close to being stable. last i herd the ffc didnt work, no data or wifi. give it some time and the guys over at cynogan will have froyo for us
I know hes working on cm...but thats a samsung build.

Yeah, it's a Sprint beta. It was leaked to him a couple days ago under the condition he wouldn't make it publicly available(to protect the source of the leak).

It was leaked to somebody else who gave it to him so he could do something about it.
The only reason he isnt leaking it to us is because every file in it is tagged with the name of the employee who gave it to him. so if he then leaks it, he is jeopardizing the job of that employee

Wait, so just out of curiosity, was it the employee who leaked it to him? or did sprint authorize it? Because, if they were smart, they would have authorized it but made it seem like it was a rogue employee/mischievous early adopter.

Yes, because its in Sprints best interest to leak a buggy beta version of a rom out to the general public and then have to deal with the inevitable "I dont know what happened, my phone wont turn on. Can you replace it?" people.
I'm a bit of a conspiricy theorst, so ill enter tain every one with a tale.
I think this may be an intentional leak on behalf of sprint. Maybe they were having some problems and needed a little help from the community. HTC has been doing it for years.Does anyone else think a total newbie starts an account here and within 4 posts is showing pics of his epic with froyo claiming to have gotten it from a sprint employee is or isn't really weird? Our own inside sprint guy whosdaman had never even seen this.
When said lurker is asked he says he ismore than willing to share, jut needs help to give it to us because to update killed his root and cwm. Underrstandable.
Also a perfect ruse....
Here is what sprint didn't know, nay, couldn't know.
I think 1 of 2 things could have happened here.
A. They didn't count on noobnl being a jerk who just wants profit from donations(or maybe not profit at all. Just for ego) via his rom which would be the first 2.2 or to incorperate elements of this. Now don't get me wrong. Noobnl is the man fo epic, but really, aren't we all a little bit selfish? I would totally love to be the guy the leak trusted. This could be true because the op in the first leak thread never ever mentioned any radio crashing issues or anything else. He iks using it as a daily with little or no problems.
Also he was tottally willing to just give it up because whosdaman promised no personal info would be in a dump. Even if there was, it could be removed be
the first source (moob and who's). There is no way to tie 1 employees name or id number t every single line of code is there? I don't know. I don't claim to be an expert. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty ignorant.
Noobnl culd have gotten it and said anything he wants. Personally, I don't think I've even seen noobnl say anything about privacy, just that its crappy. Just minions and whatnot have been putting that out there.
Or B. It was a crappy dump (double entendre) and rfeally is buggy and stupid because there was an error or something or who knows and really it is stable, because it really bugs me that the original leaker is talking about NO radio crashing or buggieness.
Or I'm crazy and short on sleep on this daylight savings clock set back one hour night. That's proly it.
I hope you were entertained.
ONCE AGAIN: NO DISRESPECT TO NOOBNL! HE IS THE MAN WITHOUT A DOUBT. JUST YOU NEVER KNOW, YOU KNOW?

no its not, then we would have hundreds of threads in teh dev forum asking how to use odin and why things arent working etc etc. how the leak got out is much more important then everyone have a crappy version of it 2 weeks in advance.
Well, that little bit of action would at least be more exiting that this board hs been lately. A lot of evo owners coming over to brag how much development they have bec,ause open source means opensource over there and a dev would never hold out a leak from the community. Idk I'm just talking you know. I guess starting a little convo.
A lot of people are acting like noobnl is protecting some super secret inside source.
The kid came on at 5 in the morning and said first person to help me dump this gets it. It was just who was in irc at the moment.

Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...
Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................
With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows
I already have it thanks damage

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update
ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1
sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that
any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?
no ONE cares anymore

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!
Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)
Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying
honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.
So, we all know that TW and Eugene recently got access to a full T-Mobile Vibrant Froyo leak. This means great things for our phones in the very near future.
We all also know that ebaitr8's Froyo was a complete hoax, and got us good. There was also some other user, who seemed to have contact with ebaitr8, and was displaying very odd behavior.
But what doesn't make any sense is the fact that our devs got the leak within hours of the whole ebaitr8 episode.
This can't be a coincidence... right?
I think there is definetly a correlation between the two events. What do you guys think?
elementary my dear watson....

OH GOD, give me a break. Nobody's job is on the line, it's not that serious.
Yes, I too find it very odd that ebaitr8 turned out to be a hoax, yet just a couple hours later the devs had Froyo.
If the devs knew there would be a backup person leaking froyo anyway, why even entertain ebaitr8? Why give ebaitr8 so much attention and time?
I think ebaitr8 either did pull through and did send the system dumb, and the devs are just lying and covering it up, or something else happend. Either way it is very odd, and really, so stupid, nobody wants the first and last name of the person who sent it, its just froyo not secret intelligence.
Plus, isn't it so convenient the devs supposedly can't release the stock froyo? Forcing us to install their roms.
Just my thoughts, thats all.

Really? You think that if you worked for T-Mo or Samsung that it wouldn't be that serious if you leaked the ROM? Would you risk your job on the chance that the ROM has watermarks and can be traced?
Someone leaked the ROM, and that person is being extra careful because it's possible it could be traced back to him or his workplace. If we want to continue to see unofficial leaks, it's best the community respect the wishes of leakers. Trying to "out" the leaker can only lead to one thing--a complete shutdown of people "on the inside" taking risks to help us.
Seriously, let's give it a rest.
I was just intrigued by the correlation between the ebaitr8 episode and the leak. Not the actual leaker.
just drop the issue its pretty obvious where the ROM came from........
dont make a big deal out of it so we can continue getting leaks in the future
JK2 is so far from being ready, I'm leary of it being ready any time in the near future for OTA/Kies updating. The SD card issues are annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoying, time consuming and could result in potential data loss. Other various problems.
The album art is FINALLY clear in the music player though! Love that!

Stop the drama please, thread locked.
Here's an idea, how about we make one thread with ALL rumors of OFFICIAL OTA TO EVERYONE NOT JUST TESTERS, etc.... so that we only have one place to get our hopes up. Deal is you have to say rumor, unless its clearly stating upgrade to 2.2/2.3, from a first party source, Sammy, sprint, or google. And if its a sprint employee rumor please clarify that that I the case, as I've seen they are either totally right, or totally misinformed for sales purposes. No ill will, just clarify your source, and exactly what the supporting evidence is.
Cheers!

lol so many of their articles cite xda-developers as the source.
Yah I thought you were 'encouraged' to donate when you made profit off open source work... which is what this really is... aside from flame wars every complaint about roms etc. Is development... maybe they do donate, but I would hope google as well as these sites donate to the cooks too... amazing what they do in a day compared to salaried workers.
Personally I feel that the 2.3 hopes are crap as of right now. Why do you ask? Well seeing that the Epic does not have an official 2.2 or a stable(bugs fixed) developed version of 2.2, 2.3 will not be working for a good amount of time. Don't get me wrong the developed roms are good so far, but there is room for improvement. Words to live by "live in the present rather then concentrating on the future"
seeing as there arent any good 2.3 rumor threads out, im hijacking this one. Apparently 2.3 is due on june 20th, according to most people in the web. However, today we were told that we might get an update today? what are your thoughts on this? wdm had a pretty good time frame for the 6/20 release date theory so for now that seems to be the most viable option.
thoughts?

Thanks Steve. I didn't know that was the case. I thought several users here had access to it.
I am so disgusted with SamSprint it is disgusting. The worst part yet is that I feel that I have no options. I like Samsung technology (specifically the large AMOLED screen in combination with the physical QWERTY), but with attitude that Samsung and Sprint have in releasing software updates (the attitude of I got your money already), it is REALLY discouraging. I wish we had other options because I would GTFO of this phone QUICK and never buy another Samsung phone again.
ALSO, all of this in combination with Samsung and Sprint's complete lack of communication on the matter. No status updates, confirmations, NOTHING. SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this business model, and nothing on the horizon that looks better.
The Galaxy S is an awesome phone no matter which variant you have. Yes we don't get the up dates as quick as we should, I put it on the carriers(refer to the I9000 section on samfirmware and you'll see what I mean). If they'd let some members of xda do their updates they'd be a lot stablier and out faster.

It is pretty clear from all of the posts that I have read, that getting GB from his phone is nothing short of a lost cause.
That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

I am also sorry that you don't find this ridiculous delay, and this non-communication as acceptable, and as something that doesn't warrant complaining.
Instead, you chose to complain about my post. Good use of your time. It is YOUR passive attitude which is what allows these exact delays to occur. GOOD JOB!
BACK ON TOPIC:
I guess it wasn't in the playbook this week?
Dude, for real? Grow up. We've gone this long without official GB, it's not like the phone is unusable without it.

And that makes it ok!!!!
I simply don't understand how so many people think it is OK for a consumer to be treated this way by the company they are supporting. This is NOT OK. Instead of being passive about the entire situation, why not be more vocal???
Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.
Unless GB is gonna make my phone physically do my job for me I don't see it as that big of a deal. The devs have made this phone kick ass but in essence its just a phone that's fun to mod. I just don't get all the anger. Besides that I'm running eh17 with one of the new kernels from source and it is running great. (Although it still doesn't do my job for me)

Your complaing in a development fourm isn't going to do anything for you if your upset that sprint/samsung does not give you timely updates to your phone. Try complaining in the sprint/samsung fourms, it might help your cause a litttle more.

I have personally written to both companies (actual paper and stamp). I am just one person. If more and more people did it (even just demanded communication), things would change.

Spoke up to WHO? XDA Developers forum?
And no one is keeping anyone in the dark. We weren't guaranteed ANYTHING. We have been getting leaks (read: unofficial builds), and that's it. Nothing has been announced. We'll get it when we get it. Were we even TOLD we were getting Gingerbread by both Sprint and Samsung? I don't think so. We are all speculating release dates, 2.3.x builds, playbook leaks, etc.
So after years of enjoying xda anonymously I had to ask: why the sudden secrecy about the ICS leak for the Atrix 4G?
I've been enjoying xda for my Bionic and over 'there' (lol) we don't care. If there is a leak we all go crazy and post howto's and upload it to a dozen fileshare sites, share info and just go buck ass wild.
Over the past couple of days I noticed there was a thread about a leak, then it got deleted, and ever since then it's "That ROM" and everyone is anal about providing info about it. What's the big deal? Really. Someone explain it.
I would love to get an ICS leak for my wife's Atrix 4G. She's having so much trouble with cellular data and Wifi it would be like a new phone to her.
I just went back to stock on my Bionic to wait for a soak test OTA for ICS I was invited for. If it works as well as the leak I've been running for months I'll be happy as a slinky on an escalator (sorry, had to use that one. It's from a US commercial and cracks me up).
So, what's the big deal with the secrecy?
The problem with XDA is perpetual misinformation.
Thread got deleted. People jumped to conclusions, thought it must be Motorola or some other company. Now everyone thinks if they keep it all "hush hush" that they won't realise people are bug testing and developing on the leak lol
The other day people got pissy and suspicious when someone who's been here for years (but only posted recently, sorta like how i started here) because he asked for AT&T APK's and logs (plaintext, anyone could comb through for personal info and remove it before sending).

I SAW THAT .. that was hilarious. I was really close to comment about that in my first post; something like "Don't worry, I promise I'm no undercover spook from Apple" (since they own the Atrix's fingerprint reader company now). Bringing Apple in here would have really stirred up some ****
I guess I'll wait until things die down and get organized. My wife doesn't like me messing with her phone so I need to get it right the first time lol
Initially there was a mis-understanding due to lack of information, people assumed and inferred too much from epinter's thread removal. Whether or not the paranoia is justified, fact remains that epinter wanted his thread removed and that some company wanted the leak hushed in XDA although they did not do it via the right channels.
Now I think it became the defacto standard to call the leak 'that rom', not due to paranoia but because people are familiar with that name. Its quite cool too, adds a story to our beloved phone.
We are all masons. That's why.
It wasn't apple. It was Microsoft . The sent a dozen ninjas bearing swords coated with a special toxin distilled from a rare variety of cease and desist notice only found growing in the shadow of Steve Jobs's grave stone.

You guys have reading comprehension issues. Kennethpenn didn't say who it was, except that it *wasn't* Motorola.
Epinter took his thread down on his own, unrelated to any communications about the ROM.

People see what they want to see. People jump to conclusions. People repeat these assumptions so often that they morph into "the truth". People are idiots.

Yes. Only you know what is really going on. Only you are smart. But you won't be sued. You are anonymous but the board is not and I don't think they have enough money to go against software companies.
Be reasonable.

I do often think that I'm one of the few here who has a lick of common sense. But I guess it's easier to go with the smart-ass answer than admit you may be part of the problem, eh?

Interesting. Now, back to what I was actually talking about, re: people making baseless assumptions and running with them until they become convinced it's "the truth" (and presenting it as unsubstantiated fact). Any opinions on that, sir?

Says the person who won't even discuss the issue I brought up, who instead tries to deflect the issue by talking about something else? Okay, sure.
Atrix ICS/JB over due!!
Atrix deserves an ICS update!! Love this Phone.
Personally I feel that the community should set an example by creating a stable ICS/JB build for the phone.

You're new here, but don't ever expect anything from the community. They "should"? No, they shouldn't do anything, they don't owe you or me anything. Be happy with what they're already done.

Forgive my sense of humour...
If your wife insisting on ICS then the easiest solution is divorcing her, otherwise your marriage is safe in spite of her Atrix ownership.
A working ICS ROM is not going to happen from any ROM leaks unless Motorola finishs cooking the ROM. The support of ICS ROM by XDA members would be an issue, at least for me.

Cooking????? ROM??????
And why would a Firmware supported by xda developers be a problem for you?

Lol. My wife doesn't care what she runs but she has horrible issues with cellular data stability. I had too with my Bionic before I installed an ICS leak. That's why I'm banking on this leak.
I don't know the state of this leak, but if it is anything like the Bionic leaks it's good enough.

And if you ever feel the community should do something, set up an example and... do it then share with others.
