The ruu is an exe file, so how does a mac user do this? I'm tired of changing roms, and I just want to use the sprint 2.1
use a Virtual machine like Virtual Box or Vmware Fusion and install Windows that way, or use Boot Camp.
you will be stuck with the crappy sprint rom if you use that 2.1... Just a warning. It's buggy and you WON'T be happy.

He's using a mac, do you think he car......... er.... He will be just fine with The RUU of 2.1
Once you do run the offical 2.1 RUU there is no going back. You cannot go back to 1.5 and you cannot root(therefor no more ROMs)
I think there is a ROM that is the 2.1 but is flash-able and keeps your root. There is also a Test 2.1 RUU which still has root. People have said they changed nothing from the Test to the Official other then removing root.
Other then that, if you want the official then I am sure you can go into a Sprint store and they will upgrade it for you... if you do that please don't come back here and *****.

Eh, kinda funny, but at least apple never claims that their OS is bug free like Windows does. Remember Windows ME? The supposed fix of all operating systems?

I'm not going to *****. If you read my post, I'm tired of flashing roms all the time. None are perfect. All have some sort of lag, even the overclocked ones. I RUUd back to 1.56 and have absolutely no lag.
From what I understand, this rom is the same as the official release, it just maintains root. It may be easier for you to just download that and flash it, and then never flash another rom again if you don't want to. But I'm willing to bet you'll be back to flashing soon.
If you look through this thread in the dev section, I think regaw_leinad captured the adb commands that are actually sent. You will need to get the zip files that are extracted by the exe though.
Thanks everyone, I think I'm just going to take my phone to sprint and have them do it. Can't wait for the EVO!!

LOL.........
okay...we already knew this was true, but i have a question.
When the real froyo comes out, will we have to flash back to the DI18 stock w/ Odin or will we be able to update the manual way like we did for this "test"? (I know it wouldn't show up in the system updates notification)
Since ur probably gonna root and load a custom rom anyway, pretty sure u can just wait for the rom packages to be updated and go straight from dk28

Yea, but doing that will inevitably lead to problems. The best way to do it is to return to DI18 and let Android update you the normal way, then root, then install whatever rom you want. If DK28 has taught us anything, its that trying to take the shortcut leads to non functional GPS and other problems.
Which means we'll probably be getting the final build of froyo in a few months judging by the current rate of progress. SOOOOOOO tired of waiting.
I checked the Sprint forums.
One of the admin suggests that the official update will be released within 3 weeks at the least, unless there's problems. Which...there will be -_-
Will there be an option to download the flash the stock 2.2 update from samsungs website or from sprints website. Waiting for the OTA update is going to drive me nuts....
I don't think that's publicly known yet.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You will get it from here long before it shows up on Sprint or Samsungs website. From my understanding the first four days are ota only.
I figure by noon EDT there will be a rooted .tar here. Break out Odin and flash away.
My guess is epic will be oat only. No mini kies for you.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It will be almost instant..as soon as someone catches the Google URL we can just download it manually and flash via stock recovery...same way we did with the DK28...
Cant wait! Im running the new kernel at 1.2. Love it! Its back on top on benchmark2010. LG optimus 2x is 2nd place with its dual core. Gotta love the hummingbird gpu.
Someone will have to OTA and check the logcat for the dl address. Then all the rest of us can cook root into it and slap it on our bricks-o'-epic.
ughh i can't wait! Going back to 2.1 for now is making me crazy lol.

I am looking for the stock EC05 odin so that I can use Odin to go back to stock when need be. I can only find eb13.
Also did Samsung ever release the EC05 package from their website like they did with eb13?

You could Odin DI18 and the OTA to EC05:

I cant want it for the times when i need to go stock and see sprint for glass separation or something.... I also would like to know what Samsung and sprint will replace the epic 4g with.... perhaps the epic 3d?

I would like to Odin back to stick EC05 through ODIN also, but haven't found a guide for files provided. I have the .tar file and other files i think, but I'm afraid of tryin to use the wrong files. Can anyone post or point to where I can findout how to properly odin to COMPLETE STOCK EC05 (because all the complete packages are only for ROOT)?

Use the megaupload link I posted and this Odin. You put your phone in download mode (power on holding 1 key) uncheck f.reset box in Odin, put the victory_8g.pit file in pit box and EC05 file downloaded in PDA box, then connect USB cable to phone and a COM box should appear in Odin, hit start.
I font want the evo 3d I want the galaxy s II

It goes straight from DI18 -> EC05 it doesnt do incriments...
there wasnt a stock odin ec05 released, which means if you find one it was made by someone not with sprint or samsung, which means its not COMPLETELY stock.. so if you want completely stock, odin back and ota..

well, I guess I needed a rooted version anyway for the keyboard patch so thank you
So anyone brave enough to try the EC05 tar ball I found on Megaupload listed a few posts back to see what it is? It was in a magazine post from the middle of March. Let's see if it is stock or not.
Do you BONSAI?

That is probably one of the android central made odin tars for ec05. At this time we still don't have a real stock tar to use to go back to stock.

Yes, you are correct. I just read the whole article and it is indeed prerooted and from Android Central.
I feel you on that. I'm just not so sure that the GS2 will be carried on Sprint. I really would rather not have some kinda variant of the GS2.

A little birdy landed in ACS's birdhouse recently and left a piece of tasty nectar behind.
What I mean is, we've got an EC05 TAR for you. To keep that little birdy from being brutally murdered, I've repacked it - so it's not a .md5, but rest assured... it is the 100% stock, Samsung-Sprint EC05 TAR. It's uploading as we speak.
