whoa. keep a adb logcat running it will show the url from where it fetches the .zip file.
If you install aLogcat form the market you can look at the log file generated.
Somewhere in there will be the link to the update file from Google's servers.
If you update before looking at the log, the information will be lost.
Downloading alogcat now.....

The internet has jaded us all.
I am not sure if you need to start the download first or not. But when the download starts the actual link to the file will be in the log.
So you could just write down every web link you see in your log.

I believe you and I want the zip also
If someone gets the update, can you please do this before you accept it. and post the logcat.txt? Please this may help rooting.
How to get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/
You should see a link in the file like https://android.clients.google.com/u.../partner/*****
Thank you for whoever can get this done

Agreed. Things are far more complex than they were in the early days. It would be a long road. Rooting is the easy part

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on

Yes i got SU I had to restart the phone to get it to engage.

You can't flash a PD15IMG.zip RUU in recovery. It's only flashable in the bootloader.

Either way, neither of you have answered the question, so I don't care. You could've kept that comment to yourself and so could he cause he obviously doesn't know a thing about what I'm talking about.
To others who view this, please don't post unless you know the answer. Thanks.

It wasn't a random "comment". XDA is a database like all forums, so even if you already knew the answer yourself, it's important to correct misinformation for anyone who may come across this thread in the future.
Not cool of you to get mad at him when he's just trying to help you.
That kind of an attitude will just deter people away from even wanting to help you out.
Just sayin'.
To answer your OP, why not use the Froyo PD15IMG.zip? Are you trying to unroot your phone?
Using the GB PD15IMG.zip probably wouldn't be the best idea even if it worked. Because if it worked then you're stuck at GB which can't be rooted ATM.

I want the update though. And last time I did the froyo zip while perm rooted with gfree and stock hboot, it bricked the phone. I'm trying to collect all the info first cause apparently I want supposed to do that unless I have eng hboot.

Then why not just flash the update? There's like 3 flashable versions out there in the developmental section.
I flashed it last night, not that great. Don't know how you could choose that over Virtual Unity's Sense 3.0, but I guess to each their own.

I have the 'bad' chip and I'm trying to lose root just in case something happens, I also want the update cause froyo was glitchy and I'm starting to have tiny but irritating issues with unity, like wifi calling and my home screen disappearing.

Hey guys!
I have a root method for the OG Epic on Android 2.3.6 FC09!
All the requirments are that you install ODIN from the link below and download the proper files from the links below as well!!
Step one) put your device into Download Mode
Step 2) Connect to your computer and make sure ODIN recognizes your device
Step 3) Flash the Clockworkmod.tar.md5. Make sure EVERYTHING is unchecked INCLUDING AUTOREBOOT!!!!
Step 4) Once ODIN does its thang, unplug your phone and pull the battery
Step 5) Now reboot into CWM Recovery by pressing and holding the power button, camera, and volume down button until the capacitive buttons at the bottom show
Step 6) Now locate the ROM.zip. It should be called DeodexedFC09.zip
Step 7) Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache, and if you want Wipe Batt Stats
Step 8) Now reboot, and you should be running Stock Rooted FC09!
Enjoy!!

Greatly appreciated! If you've got that down...try learning more! There is lots out there to learn! For instance trying different roms and kernals and see what you can find that someone hasn't or learn to build app(I'm working on one). Skys the limits....Always Challenge Yourself, even if you complete one thing.

If memory serves; didn't Mkasick write a zip that prevented the stock recovery overwrite? This way, you could leave the "auto reboot" box checked in Odin when rooting? I seem to remember a follow-up QBK77 video chronicling such an event...
