System updates - Epic 4G General

When did the system updates start working with no errors or issue popping up? I just ran all of them and everything is a go being stock EC05 rooted.

Everything has always worked for me. Profile and prl update fine

Really... well, if I ever get a scratch on the screen or the keyboard gets too loose or something now I know how to get my phone replaced easily. I still get the error (as of 30 seconds ago when I tried after reading this).

honestly i'd rather keep my phone.. stable at 100mhz and still looking pretty pristine. i guess if it gets beat up i'll use that as an excuse

Sprint Reps say DON'T update to 2.2! lol

So I went to the sprint store today cuz my battery took a ****. The repair guy was telling everyone not to run the OTA update to 2.2, apparently it's bricking phones and breaking camera. He said Sprint will have their own update in a couple weeks. I lol'd as I walked out with my deodexed rooted EB13...
well that would probably explain why my wife hasnt received the update.. oh well.. I already updated with the zip files as well.
Go figure and they keep rolling it out.

Damn it booiii...more dissapointment...and after such a long and druamatic wait for the release...smh, will the corrected version be another rolled out OTA or will they release it on the samsung website?
Loving the official 2.2. 12hrs unplugged so far and 60% battery left. Usually my exchange email kills it during the day since the tower is overloaded downtown with awesome 20-60 kilobit speeds. So my 3g radio gets a work out constantly trying to communicate.
Good job sprint smh

I updated my buddies phone to official 2.2 last night and his phone turned into a brick. Nothing would power it on. No boot, no recovery, no download mode, no nothin... I was using odin and the tar file though and not the update.zip
I did the same procedure twice to my epic and it worked great.

Calling B.S. unless otherwise proven.
I'm skeptical that they are still rolling it out in force... My mom and sister have yet to get it. I'm just sitting on dk28 for a bot myself so I'm not sure how eb13 is actually performing... The forum posts don't make me particularly optimistic
i can believe it, it was a ***** for me to update my phone using odin and the eb13 tar, it just would not work, my phones screen kept turning a different color like purple or green then odin would just freeze. Tried another computer and was able to do it using the samsung .exe file and it wiped everything and i thought i was good, running real quick and snappy, but i opened the camera and went to record a video with it and as soon as i hit the button to switch to video i got an error saying the camera has crashed and it kicked me out :/ I thought, according to sprint, that we waited this long so they could iron out the bugs and make sure there was a release that was worth of releasing!
This official release is flawless for me. I did get the orange screen thou with the samsung tool, I just reran it and its 100 % flawless. Recorded vids with no issue.
could this be the EVO curse we were dreading?
Btw. Everyone owes a oppology to noobl. Remember he warned us about the leak dk28 bricking some phones? And some in here claimed the epic is unbrickable? Uhhuuu... Everyone... Form a single line and appologize.
I don't know how to prove that the phone was bricked, but it definitely was. It got stuck at param.lfs (or whatever that file extension is) in odin, so I retried it a few times, next thing I knew it would not turn on. He should be swapping it at the sprint store tommorow I think.

I was on DK28 and since I followed instructions correctly, my phone is still in working condition. HA!
That's misinformation from the store. Here's the deal with the update... Yes, it's still being pushed and all devices should have it by Friday. There have been some reports of issues with the camera and browser force closing but those are resolvable in most cases with a hard reset (sucks I know). I haven't seen any reports of a phone that was truly bricked, although custom roms will be more likely to have issues with the OTA update. I've personally updated 8 of these both OTA and with the Samsung installer and haven't had an issue with any of them after the update.
Currently looking for a custom rom though because I don't like some of the changes that were made. It does feel like the screen is a bit laggy after the update and I hate the new messaging app but overall no performance issues

lol. Me too. I used the 200mb samsung tool. No old odin with modified eb13 deodexed junk. Follow instructions nerds!
I'm not buying it. I know there are isues out there (myself included) but I would think if it was a serious problem we would have people on the forums saying it happened to them by now.
I updated my phone via the Samsung .exe file which I knew would wipe my phone which wasn't a problem for me since I use gmail to keep records of my contacts, call logs / sms (using sms backp+) and etc. So no worries there. I did get a little miffed about losing the apps but that is expected for a phone wipe.
There are few quirks and some changes in the GUI I didn't like. Big issue is the stupid SMS client they had to change so will be looking for a altnative version for it. No big deal but why change something when it works in DI18??
Screen rotation lag is fixable via screen calibration (posted elsewhere in this forums).
Least now the Devs have the source code they should be coming out with some nice ROMs soon. Rumored for Sprint to come out with an update in a couple of weeks? Not worried about it, by then most of us will be on custom ROMs anyway.

flashing kills the balls out of the battery. i have had a fully charged battery die in half an hour running odin multiple times trying things out. id bet almost anything that if you had an external charger to throw your battery in for a bit the phone would boot in to download mode with no problems.

[q] error update firmware,profile,prl

PRL, Profile, and Firmware all produce an unknown error when clicking update. Called sprint. We reset the phone 3 or 4 times. Running EB13 root CWM2.5 and tried reflashing. They want sprint to reflash the phone back to 2.1 PLEASE HELP!
Google's update servers are currently down in preparation for the OTA. A lot of people are having this issue right now.

Everyone is having error. Probably getting ready for new update tonight.
TL;DR - Try again tomorrow
The servers are getting ready for the new update that comes out tonight and will be available to everyone by March 24th. If you look around the forums, you will see people talking about the newest update: EC05.
I thought I was the only one, but haven't had no time to look around see the forums. I been working for a good part of the day, and had no time to investigate. Thanks everyone for replying.
Yeah this started happening to my phone the other day. I had to take it in to Sprint and they are going to replace it with another one. (Refurb). I tried to argue with them and have exchange with a brand new one but they wouldnt go for it. Does anyone know if flashing the new EC05 will fix this?? I have flashed so many ROMs and nothing worked. If anyone has a fix please chime in. I am very curious to know if this is fixable. If not its cool cuz Im getting a replacement tomorrow.
From what I read on another post, everyone has the same issues. It is Sprint. I am not sure why they would block certain phones from getting a prl or profile update. It makes no sense to me. Seems they would have better IT management plan than this. Other phones like the EVO have already received an prl update 60677. I have heard of some EPIC's never receiving this issue, and I have read some had the issues then disappear, and some re-appear. Most have the same issues as us.

Hey people what ever you do don't take your phone to the store or repair center. Do you really want a piece of **** refurbished EPIC? I purchased my phone new 2 months ago, out right. There is no way in hell that one of those Sprint TECH's will take my phone to replace for theirs. They will do it. SIDE NOTE: I did try FIRMWARE, PROFILE, AND PRL this morning and they worked except no update. Better than yesterday. It is SPRINT with their update servers. Seems everyone will have to wait for someone to push a rom, the update online for us, or just wait for the OTA.

PRL/Profile update not working? (Temporary) Solution!

I've been having this problem of not being able to update my PRL/Profile no matter what ROM (even stock) I am one. Whenever I tried to update it, I was getting the "... Unknown error" message. Serendipitously, I found what seems to be at least a temporary solution.
Here's how to do it. Go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates -> Update Profile or Update PRL. Once the screen shows "The network is preparing your services. Please wait...", wait for about 5 to 10 seconds and then press cancel. If the timing was right, you will get "Session in progress..." Then, the update will finish off successfully instead of showing the "Unknown error" message.
The trick is to get the right timing for pressing the cancel button. If you do not get the "Session in progress..." message, the timing wasn't right so you might want to try it again.
I found out that once you successfully apply the method above, the Profile/PRL update will act normal. I'm not sure if it says like that permanently but for me, I started having the problem again in a few days. But I did the cancel button method to make it back working.
Note that the method above applies to only those who have problem with updating the Profile/PRL.
EDIT: Once you do the cancel method above, try updating the PRL/Profile again and there's a good chance you won't get errors this time.
EDIT2: Like others, this trick is not working every time for me either, but I did find out that if you keep on repeating the cancel trick and then the normal wait, the PRL/Profile eventually updates itself. I'm on 60676 by the way. Not sure why my PRL is not being updated to 60677.

Good that it worked. I don't think you get any confirmation message for the profile.
For the PRL, you'll either get "PRL updated" or "PRL already up to date" if successful.

I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"

Tried this method and still no prl update I get the scanning message but after that's done it just goes away and when I try to do it again without canceling, it gives me the error again.
Worked for me. Got it on my 2nd try, had to wait about 5 seconds after seeing the message pop up.

Same here, except now it just claims no update is available.
Don't know if this will help anyone having issues in this thread or not, but I was having similar issues after updating to EC05, and the 'cancel trick' wasn't working. I decided to flash back to EB13 and see what happened. After the EB13 retrograde was complete, the update to EC05 started, and was almost completely downloaded when I checked (guess I should have been more patient), like it was already partially there, and then after the automatic update was complete, within a few minutes (5 or 10, didn't track), I was able to update my PRL to 60677, and my PRL and profile update errors went away.
I had a similar problem after updating to EB13 that was fixed by a sprint tech that reset the switch.
Good luck!

It said that it was saying session in progress, but it still took me to 60676 as well. I thought when updating the PRL it lets you know it resets the radio by turning off and back on ? Thats what it use to do on my phone atleast. It did not say that this time.
Thanks for this idea it worked for me!
I *was* on -77 when still on 2.1, now that I have EC05 2.2 it took me back to -76 and updates don't change that even when it claims it did. Weird.

Anyone else unable to update prl/ profile?

The title is self explanitory. Last time I could update was just before the EC05 update was pushed ota. Since then, I haven't been able to update either. There's another thread about a possible solution involving quiting the process early, but it doesn't seem to do anything. So am I the only one with this problem, and are there any solutions?

I have this issue since EC05 and never before or I think is the rom I am using midnight 5.01
I can't do profile update nor prl at all.
Actually when I was stock rooted EC05 I was able to update but since custom rom it is not possible.

It is a Sprint issue. Apparently there was a problem with 60677 so for most phones they stopped the ability to manually update prl. A lot of people have found who made it to 60677 that Sprint pushed a prl update to their phone (custom ROMs or not) and rolled it back to 60676. It has been discussed and marked as a known issue by Sprint reps on the Sprint Community forum.
Is this a sprint wide problem or is specific to just the epics? I mean, are other sprint phones such as the evo ans evo shift unable to update either?

I just updated PRL for my wife's Samsung Moment and my mother-in-law's Samsung Transform without a problem.
Yep, I've had issues updating the PRL since I got the phone I think lol
my last Epic had this problem after the update (maybe 2 or 3 days before it got pushed). since then, I've taken it into sprint to get it replaced to possibly remedy the keyboard skipping keys (didn't fix it lol).
my replacement Epic has been updating PRL and Profile just fine since I first booted it up.....

yea that happened with another one of my Epics (this is my fourth), and they replaced that one with my (third?) and it was fine until the update, which borked it also...
My Epic has never successfully updated its PRL when i tried to. I always do it manually with QPST. No big deal for me. Manually updated to 60677 sometime ago when the file came out.
I went back to DI18 today and updated to EC05. Completely stock, no mods, still unable to update PRL. I was at the Sprint store for 3 hours today and they still couldn't get it fixed. They called in to corporate and even "refreshed" my device, still nothing.
I have another Epic coming in a few days. The tech disassembled my phone to try and fix the wobbly keyboard but didn't have much luck.
While I was in there, a guy with an intercept came in and was having the same exact issue. It's not just the Epic. I think it's all Sprint devices. Even the tech couldn't update his PRL on his Evo
Yes, this is a Sprint issue since they recalled 60677 and are rolling back people with a pushed prl to 60676. Reps have confirmed this on Sprint Community Forum.
Running Epic EC05-rooted-SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0-Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, no issues updating to PRL 60676 but will not update past that.

This came out the same day Sprint fixed PRL updating so it does nothing. PRL updating is working on 95% of the phones now. PRLs are being released by area. For most people 60676 will be the highest as seen when Sprint rolled me back yet again last night.

Sprint pulls gingerbread 2.3 update?

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.

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.
