Ec05 ota - Epic 4G General

I got the it ota yesterday. Froyo, sprint id, gps fixes. Just pointing out that sprint has started pushing it out. Devs are now free to release tars and custom roms on xda.

Thanks for trying would have been better if you posted like 2-3 days ago though

Or in one of the other 10 EC05 threads.

I've been getting the damn prompt since yesterday. Is there a way to banish it permanently? Having played with EC05 (and not being too impressed) I prefer DI18.

I never saw an ota thread... Just a zip on googles servers and bonsai and syndicate roms.

Feb 22nd Froyo OTA

So has anyone that's on stock EA28 tried to check for an OTA update to see of the rumor of the aforementioned 2.2.1 OTA is actually being pushed today like various sources said it is supposed to be?

many of us are curious as to when/if the ota will drop...despite being on eb01 already.
basically the sooner the ota starts, the (hopefully) sooner the froyo source is released from samsung.

What nitsuj17 said.
I'm already on EB01 with his port of Matted Blues Engraved. I'm just curious if anyone that's still on stock EA28 has checked for an update.

I have stock, EA28, and checking every 1/2 hour still nothing ( if not today im going to break down and do the reading and root. so much to read though ugg.
Actually the epic didn't get ota, to my understanding they had a download on the website. Maybe we will too?

I will confirm for you in a few hours, but I can pretty much guarantee that its a negative, and the people who leaked it are full of merd.
I'm running stock and haven't received any notifications that there is an OTA update.

Expected as much from our loyal providers..

Considering that EB01 still has a number of problems (like the new GPS issues), I'd imagine they'd hold off on releasing until there's nothing too major.
Plus, they haven't announced that they're going to do anything, so it seems highly doubtful it's coming out today.
Totally agree.. Besides if they can not get bing up in our face what's the point of even updating us .. Ever

That hasn't stopped them from pushing out updates with a multitude of issues before. lol Just release the source. Who cares if it's buggy? Our wonderful developers will fix it and then Verizon can use that to push out to everyone.

Unfortunately the majority of Fascinate owners will never be able to reap the rewards of all the hard work that our developers put into making Samsung's Fascinate an actually great phone.
I am surprised that the Epic 4G got theirs as scheduled. We may not get it today but we will soon enough!

[Q] Updating from DK28

I like many downloaded and ran the DK28 froyo upgrade when it came out only for official releases to come out later down the line.
I stood with DK28 until now because for the most part it worked really well. Ten, I started encountering random problems from the phone never calling out successfully on the first attempt to the wifi refusing to turn on unless I turned the phone off then back on.
I have gotten tired of these problems as well as sluggish performance. I wanted to update to the last official build. Are we on EC05?
What is the easiest way to do this? I am not rooted. I have never used Odin or the samsung updater. I am not that tech savvy on my own but can easily follow well explained steps.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

I simply ran it as an update.zip and it was like receiving a pseudo OTA. I never rooted because I never had a reason to. I am tempted to root now so that I can create a backup of apps and maybe some texts.
Since I am not rooted, could I simply run EC05 as another update.zip file or will this simply not work.
It would be easier to follow this

Current "best" rom suggestions?

So I owned the epic, played with Midnight, played with ACS and finally said **** it and went with a NS4g... I haven't touch an epic in a few months now and was wondering if you guys have CM7 yet, or any other good AOSP-like alternatives.
My mom and sister are still using epics and are sick of the sprint UI and bloat and I was looking to help them out by loading something different no their phone.
Any suggestions?
Well no aosp yet.... but syndicate rom frozen is veryy battery efficient and fast... and I would use genocide with it, atleast untill vision kernel comes out
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
IMO... as mentioned above,
rom: srf 1.2
kernal: genocide 1.1 or twilight 1.1.1

Also, ACS just stated a new AOSP project. It looks promising, though not at a usable stage, yet.

Everything is pretty much the same since you left. Development on every rom has progressed but the selection and pros/cons of each one are about the same.

Report what happened to ACS. It's more likely a flashing issue.

I've been using Genocide/SRF with almost no problems. The only FCs I had were from flashing an Email patch from Midnight on top of Syndicate. As long as I didn't try to mix ROMs, I was fine.

Bored and feeling curious

Is anyone running a DI18 rom?
Is anyone running a DK28 rom?
Is anyone running an EB13 rom?

I think no rom's started until di18... atleast as I remember, I've had the phone since the day after release
Edit- Im pretty sure we had root on the day it was released but no roms yet... noobnl made the first rom but I think it was only bloat removed and it was di18 .

Cool I guees ill have to make the first DG27 rom just for fun lol
EDIT: did anyone even think about giving EG14 a chance? Lol.... im sure there could have been some stuff that worked in it that possibly broke in EG22..... just a bored thought.....

Got a refurb Epic on EL30 - LOVING IT!

Okay, I had to buy a refurb Epic and EL30 is snappy. For example, the applications populate instantly when I choose Manage Applications. GPS actually works too. It's very polished and refined. This will definitely hold me over until the SGS3 releases later this year.
Fyi- I paid $162 from Ebay. The phone looks absolutely brand new.
I thought so too. But then I started missing all of the goodies from CM7.

EL30 seemed buggy to me. I had to run a different kernel to stop the reboots. Back on cm7 now, and anxiously waiting for cm9!!

I have yet to have a freeze or reboot crop up on EL30.
I rooted to remove bloatware, and applied the wifi hotspot hack.

What ROM did you flash? I was just using the odexed EL30 and the reboots were bad. I haven't seen any el30 ROMs. Seems like everyone is still using EI22.

I'm on the stock + rooted + deodexed with the clean gingerbread with slight mods kernel. I'm driving, so I can't provide links to the individual posts where I got each thing.
My GPS on Froyo was good, On GB leak it was bad, on GB official its Bad as well. On CM7 its still bad, with several GPS Fixes it doesn't fix anything Argggg.
Wish i knew what the cause for this is, on the official release of GB for HTC devices GPS is flawless. But mine it stutters and laggs never consistent.

Oh, I only do clean slate installs starting from EC05. I was surprised with the reboots since they really didn't change much from EI to EL. My fiance had the same issues with hers.
