Froyo released on Epic, Vibrant, can we use this?

Sorry, the title should say LEAKED rather than RELEASED (can a mod edit?). It isn't stable, but I thought perhaps the kernel was all we needed? Just saw it was released for those phones. I figured the Sprint one should be close?

Stop asking, this is prolly the 10th thread started asking about this. It wont be ported, at least not easily. The epic is not gonna work either. The only other sgs phone that might be able to port from would be the one on USCC, but they just got their phone released

No reason to be rude, this is not old news. This just happened in the last 24 hours. The forum didn't suggest any similar topics when I made it. Gah...people can be such douches in here sometimes.

It would be more useful if someone leaked a Verizon build of Froyo for the Fascinate

People get "butthurt", as you so eloquently put it, because there's at least one of these "Omg Froyo got released on another SGS phone" threads posted in development every day. It turns the development forum into a big mess of nonsense that people get tired of looking at.

From what I just looked through there hasn't been any threads about froyo on the epic. You may want to use search before you make posts that aren't accurate, just a thought.

I believe the search he was referring to wasn't that it was "epic specific" but just that there's a post about a froyo galaxy s release all the time and its been answered a hundred times before that no other will work for the fascinate.

I would've thought that more people had the Fascinate than the others just because it's Verizon and they're the biggest?

Meh... VZW is US (CDMA) only..and they didn't really advertise it.
They were busy pushing the DX and D2...
The other guys work overseas ... and apparently actually wanted to sell them.
(Though VZW did do a BOGO on the fascinates if you were lucky enough to catch it...)

There was a commercial on TV for the Fascinate from Verizon for a little while. But no, they don't really get attention without the Droid badge.
People, about building Froyo ROMs, there's more to it than just the kernel. Yes, given a kernel, something could be cooked up over time, but the only way to do it quickly is to work from the complete source of a fully functional Froyo ROM that's built specifically for the unique hardware in the Fascinate. Our Froyo will be out soon enough, so just be patient and wait please. If these others were just leaked, ours can't be far behind. ;-)

VZW chick was useless today. For grins I started grilling her on my promised 2.2 update "within a month" when I purchased the phone.
"Oh...it's coming, but we don't know how long it will be. Last time Samsung gave us an update we had to send it back to them because it required a complete system wipe...which just wasn't going to fly."
Actually, I was pretty impressed she knew who made the phone now that I think about it. Most VZW critters I've encountered didn't even have that going for them.

are there any mods in this forum? i mean really..someone needs to merge,delete,help, whatever...or how about a sticky with froyo in the title explaining that it doesnt really mater what sgs(usc?) gets it we wont until its either ota or leaked... can this happen? puhlease

Tologank, just a suggestion but I wouldn't be a **** to fallingup(angel12) BC he along with a very few other devs are the only people we have working on this phone right now. So go easy. You wouldn't talk to an angel that way would u?

No question threads should be started in development.
If any question is needed in development it should be related to a specific thread and posted within that thread.
To all that that think you are being insulted. Well I don't blame them one bit.
To keep the peeps happy at least follow the rules of the playground.

Galaxy s tweaker

hey um i used galaxy s tweaker after using the root on here. i did the battery change and it rebooted. its stuck at the samsung screen. i know it created backups. please oh god help me.

When in doubt ODIN out.
This is not a joke message, if you are stuck/bricked or something, you can use the ODIN method to start again. Hope that helps

You might need to reflash your kernel, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
And be careful with apps like that... The first two pages of comments are basically all claiming it bricks phones, the description text says (in screaming caps) to do a nandroid backup before using it, and the feature you used says "EXPERIMENTAL"... Also, just because it says Galaxy S, doesn't mean it's thuroughly tested on the Epic.

The nice thing about these latest phones is they are much harder to REALLY brick. Mess up, that is easy, but with ODIN and a little reading you can almost always get it working again.
I remember my days in early Windows mobile, on those phones it was easy to REALLY brick a phone while doing a ROM upgrade.

You have already offended some. Please note that not all who asks to root Froyo updated their phone from OTA or RUU, some got their phone with the Froyo firmware already in it. So please watch before you speak. Also, not all people knows about how this things works. Most doesn't even care what their phones are and will update should an update is available believing their device will make it super. Then they'll just stumble on a forum unintentionally and started knowing stuffs like these and start loving and craving to try, but may be too late. People asking these questions should only be answered Yes or No, no side comments if it's bad to hear. Anyways, they are not pushing you, as in you to do it for them. If you say NO, then they won't bother you, will they?

The problem appears when you say"no" to someone, they get it, but during the next week you see the board filled with topics from various people asking about rooting 2.2, because they can't be bothered in reading a measly 2 page topic where the problem is explained.
I agree that the people that bought the phone with 2.2 are not to blame about no knowing about it, but they are to be blamed about not reading before whining on the forum
So remember kids, google stuff before crying on the forums, this way you won't be insulted by bad people like me, that are only stating the obvious .

There shold be no one to blame in the first place because nobody committed a mistake for asking to root their phone after update. It's not a mistake, it's just that people tend to play with their phone, get more features after root, but it's not a mistake. Mistake here is to insult poor ignorant people.

No, the fact that you do something (like updating 2.2.1) without knowing the implications is a mistake, and you deserve what`s coming to you.
If you go around in life like "hurr durr a buttonz, lets push it" you are eventually gonna get burned. It doesn't take long to go around asking on Google or reading on a forum, or asking a friend what happens when you press that button. Maybe you will not find out exactly what happens when you push the button, maybe you`ll only know that starts a flame, you are responsible for getting burned. And you shouldn`t cry afterward if the injuries hurt. This example can be extended in every aspect of life and can be summarized like this THINK before you act! Some obviously don`t.
I`m not going to argue anymore, this is my final post about this subject.

ok, how about scrolling through the ALREADY MADE POSTS about the root progress of the shift? call me crazy but im pretty damn sure that everyone, like ourselves stuck on 2.3.3, are anxious to get perm root so some of us like myself can get back to developing. WHEN and IF perm root is found you can bet your ass it will be known. making 40 threads asking about it does nothing but piss the devs off that are trying to get this headache of a redheaded stepchild phone root. relax and have a nice cold beer, its sunday after all, god wants you to drink.

Just to say, the support offered here isn't "official HTC" support. That being said, it'd be a shame if you threw away your phone just because you couldn't root it.
I have mine rooted, my girlfriend does not. I show off neat things to her, and she cries at night, petting her cell and begging it to root itself. I told her I could root it, and she updated to the 2.3.3, just to spite me.
That being said....no, we don't need ANOTHER thread on this. If you need to comment about status on perm root, you can always post in the threads that already exist.
If, by chance, you decide to chuck the phone, by all means, let me know -- I'd be happy to take it on for my very own as well. At least then it'll know that it's loved, no matter what.
Or until a Motorola Droid is supported by Sprint.

agreed, the more useless threads the harder it is to find threads on the actuall progress. just do your research ie. look hrough other posts and you will see. i understand your frustration as i am as well as many others i am sure.

You must be tired of no root yet. But I'm tired of everybody always asking.

How to update STOCK 2.1 Evo to 2.3.3 WITHOUT Root?

Hello people! My friend has an Evo that is still on 2.1 and she wants to update to 2.3.3. The OTA isn't working (saying that there isn't an update) and when we called sprint tech support, they said that they would have to create a trouble ticket and go to the store. We called the closest store to her, and they are back up until tomorrow. I told her I could flash it manually (without rooting it)....but i should have kept my mouth shut, because I cannot find a normal 2.3.3. RUU, and am not sure if I should first up her to 2.2. then to 2.3 anyway (oops).
So now I'm on the hook, lol!
So, where can I find STOCK, NON ROOTED RUU's (I've checked the wiki)
And should I upgrade her to 2.2, then to 2.3?
Root is an option, I just didn't feel like doing it (I see Unrevoked would work for 2.1 still)
Thanks for any help guys!

HipKat, teh roxxorz, Lithid, dased14 (who mostly hangs out in Themes and Apps), and several others provide great help. They've answered plenty of my questions before.
Lithid did SalvageMod and Freedom kernel, dased14 makes dozens of flashable zips with themes and mods, HipKat and teh roxxorz have made guides for subjects of all sorts. Everyone has their own personalities though so its something to get used to.
Believe me when I say the Evo 4G forum is one of the better ones. I frequent basically every Sprint / Verizon phone forum and I cannot stand all of the whining and fights. We have a strong developing team and plenty of people qualified to answer questions.
