So thanks to QBking, I Odin'ed back to EC05 stock, and about an hour and a half later I was prompted to install Gingerbread. I'm now running 2.3.5 EI22 Gingerbread.
How can I help Devs? I'm on Stock.

I don't intend to be a jerk, but you could have saved some time by reading the other threads first - that would help tremendously. Everything else you *might* have been able to help with, has already been done (see those threads I mentioned). Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but there isn't anything more you can offer at this point.
But since you're on full stock, check out the how-to guides on rooting - it's slightly more complicated now, you'll need odin to get cwm because there isn't a known exploit to root, and you'll need a custom kernel to prevent the loss of cwm (the full stock kernel reportedly contains a script that will reinstall stock recovery on every boot)
Hopefully that helps you

Hey guys I need some help/direction here. I got my phone from best buy and bricked it a few days later. Then I ued odin and flashed goddamn dg27. I was not aware that was NOT the current build. I am on dk28 or froyo right now but I do not like how slow and crappy it is just for those little extra features so I would like some kind of odin or update zip that I can use to get it back to normal or to a state that I can update to di18 or w.e. it is. E.g stock that I can get ota updates also.

The stickied wiki on this forum has directions.
DI18 i believe is the last official update that we got from sprint
here's a link to it
http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV
just use it in odin
@Kitteh298 (Misleading Brother): Why don't you ever state what exactly you want, I could have gotten you back to DI18 all along. I thought you wanted to get back to DG27 with all your settings, in which case your backup in Clockworkmod would have worked.
@Everyone else: I'm sorry he wasted your time that could have been used to help someone that actually needs help.
You always have to do this.

OK I will put this out there for everyone so we don't have a million threads going on this subject.
1 If your on DI18 stock and rooted with a simple root method you will get the OTA, you will lose root.Also having CWM installed will not break the OTA but you will lose CWM due to the stock recovery being flashed.
2 If your on a DI18 rom that you have flashed with CWM you will get the OTA but it will fail due to the rom not being stock the OTA zip will check for this and if your not on the stock rom the OTA will fail to install.
3 If you have a stock rom with any bloatware removed the OTA will also fail to install the OTA zip file will check your system to make sure its stock.
4 If you running a leaked Froyo build like DK28 or DK17 or any rom made from those leaks you will probably not get the OTA notification at all you will have to reflash back to stock DI18 to get the OTA.
The best thing to do if your running a rom is to wait on someone to make a flashable zip to convert from DI18 to EB13 or a zip to flash from a DK28 rom to EB13 it might take a day or two to get it converted but it will happen after all this time waiting for it another day or two shouldn't kill anyone.
I have stock DI18, rooted, and do have CWM installed (but never ever flashed any ROMs at all), will I be able to OTA? Sorry I'm still new at this.
Good idea to post this. I doubt it will prevent the morons from creating new threads though, there are already 3 or 4 scattered about on this board. Should probably throw something in there about being able to d/l it over Wifi as I've seen that one asked a lot recently, too.

If you have CWM installed it will be overwritten by the stock recovery during the flash.

So my question is, I have stock DI18 (Odined back from dk28 last night) and rooted using oneclick root with CWM 2.5.whatever(not CWM3). I have read that if you are rooted and want to receive the OTA update you must not have deleted any stock applications. Oneclick root deleted the stupid asphalt 5 game demo and I am wondering if this is considered a stock app that may affect the result of downloading the update.
edit: just saw the post above mine after i finished writing this one!

+1 ^^^
Seems to be a conflict of criteria...is asphalt demo not considered a "stock" app? If it is, then by the OPs criteria even havin root would break the OTA since one-click removes asphalt...
A little clarification please?

I think the main point is everyone should just wait until a cooked up rom is released....who cares if you get the OTA? Ultimately, aren't you just going to put a custom rom/kernel on your phone anyway?

I'm gonna say this one more time. SOME of us just want to have the littlest, simple satisfaction of receiving the cool little feature of an Over-The-Air upgrade. Because really, how many times does it happen? Its like I want to go outside when there's a comet passing by. Yes, I could just pop in a DVD about comets with nice high-def imagery and commentary by Morgan Freeman, but I didn't actlly DO it.
So do not deny nor judge this opportunity for us. If you cant , then don't post here. The thread isn't titled "why the hell would you retards do an ota just wait for some warezzzzzzzzz! Lolzzzzzzzz!" So contribute if you can, otherwise don't.
Plus....SOME of us have been on a 2006 winmo powered brick for the past 5 years and we got to miss out on this fancy little thing called a firmware upgrade...over the air! OVER THE AIR!

What should someone do to prepare for the OTA
Well as someone said above, not every one has gone through a OTA update (I came to the EPIC from a true PALM when the software was really worth something) and some guidance may keep us from having major problems.
The only thing I could think of was to backup my EPIC. I used MyBackup Pro and backup to both my card and online. Anything else I should do????

Thanks for the detailed informed post. We need more like them.
I figure this is the best place to ask this.
I am stock and rooted with one click. I am not running any custom roms. Will there be a stock/rooted release that I can dl from this site or am I going to need to odin back to complete stock and take the OTA update. The majority of what I have been reading is to let your rom maker create a new one. Since I don't want a custom Rom yet, will I be able to get the stock/rooted update.
Thanks!

After the OTA starts going out there will be one up on this site pre-rooted and complete stock within like 5 hours.
Awesome... that waswhat I wanted to hear. I will try out roms eventually butwant to see stock first.

odin eh03 gb then root it. no need for ed05 or ota update...follow section 4 then section 5 of my guide.
is there anything good about the update??? what was new with it??? minus messing up rooting??
Stock eh03 gingerbread is alot faster than stock ed05 Froyo imo...cant comment on anything else because I have not ran stock eh03 longer than 20min, that was just to see If I could flash cm7 from it.
ok thank you
I used odin to root my phone after verizons update.
Just Odin the stock EH03 package and then flash SuperClean v3.05 in cwm and you'll have all the rooted, deodexed, debinged and debloated Gingerbread glory that you can stand! It has caused me to fall in love with my Fascinate all over again!
Can someone please tell me where to download the ROM's other than Multiupload.
Download time there for me says it is over 3 hours.
Looks like I got the OTA during the night and my Fascinate is stuck in recovery now.
Since I am hosed anyway I want to finally make the jump and start flashing some ROM's.
If I can ever get a download link that works
Thanks,

Did the same completely different phone now.
I'm updating my wife's rooted Epic from 2.2.1 to the latest EL30 Gingerbread release and am not seeing a thread that fully addresses the process here. I've been in HTC land for the past year and the whole odin/pit thing is completely greek to me, so I'm really concerned with making sure I don't brick her phone and get yelled at for spending 3 hours trying to fix what I just did
Are these steps correct?
1. Odin/Pit/Tar official EL30

2. Update CWM to 5.0.2.7

3. Flash new ROM (Looking at SleeperROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465628&highlight=sleeper
I'm assuming that the new CWM has a one-click root method like before, but I cannot find the details in the thread. If not, do the instructions in the "Rooting EI22 after OTA or Google update [11/10]" still apply where I have to download the ACS recovery, or is there an easier method that I haven't found?
I apologize for the noobish post and I'm sure this info is in here somewhere, unfortunately after an hour of searching around I haven't found an updated root/upgrade method that makes this brainless.
Thanks

Your steps are correct.
Basically ODIN the official EL30 tar.
Then ODIN the tar version of CWM5.
This will automatically root your phone and install CWM5.
After that you can flash custom roms of your liking.
I would suggest CM9 beta as it is stable if you use your phone for basic stuff like calling/internet surfing, GPS and other minor tasks.

Thanks. I'll probably go this route just to ensure that the radio (etc) flashes correctly. However I'll definitely skip CM9 beta until it's at least RC; wife's phone means no fun...she just don't care
***Quick question, to ODIN the tar version of CWM5 are there any special configurations in ODIN to be aware of?
For those that may follow:
First, getting to stock EL30:

Then ROM Manager (First Download HERE):
Then the next answer to ***
Correct. Make sure the md5's match. So everything will go smooth. You will wanna go to the link in qbking77 video for how to flash cwm 5.0.2.7. I believe is the right one. So you will use odin. Flash the tar. Make sure only reboot is checked. If you are coming from 2.2. And or a bml. Rom. Which. As you was saying it sounds like you are. I don't remeber which slot you put the cwm tar. In. But the video will guide you. . His videos. Comes in handy. If you need any more help. A lot of people will be more then happy to help. Further.

So I have the latest stock upgrades but was tring to flash this puppy last night. Bloatware is gone but I do not see that the rom took. I was trying to load muini or something like that, the name escapes me. I thought I followed directions but apparently not well enough. I have ec09 any ideas? My end goal is to stream line this so I can carry it well past my upgrade in march.

The rom u are trying to flash is older than ec09.
Latest is eg04.
So I need to flash eg04, then flash the custom rom. I'll keep digging in the forums and re read posts. I probably missed something. Especially if I thought I was up to date with ec09. Please forgive my noobiness. I will continue to learn and hopefully be able to contribute someday.
Ok, I see that eg04 is gb and nervous about taking the plunge, feel a little too noob for that.
And now I see what I was doing wrong, will try to flash again later, I miss read something and I think I was trying to load miunia when I wanted debellare.
Sent from my SCH-I400
Well since ur noobing and on ec09, root and debloat. We really don't have custom roms per say, just deodexed and slightly tweaked. I would if I were you just get familiar with what u have before moving on.
And that is what I shall do, thank you.

Well the whole (stock-leaked) eg04 rom and instructions are in dev thread. I'm going back to stock unrooted right now so I can test my repacked kernels. Ill pull files to make some odin images. I work in a cpl hours so hopefully can tar em up and get them uploaded tonight
You are awesome. I keep reading threads and doing a lot of googling to learn. I started down this path looking for programming guides as I embarked on some projects for work and started seeing what could be done. Unfortunately, none of my business degree classes were in programing, so I have to learn all that on my own.

I'm still at work but I did test my repack kernel it roots stock but debloat is needed to install busy box etc. But gonna get back to it after work

I managed to flash tb's 101 everything for ec09 I love it, will try and make sure I have the most recent version. I also need a thanks a lot button. Expect the thanks button to be pushed as soon as I make it to the posts where the downloads are. woohoo

Get more comfortable flashing. Cause eg04 has more steps. been too busy to finish what I started on eg04.
I have been working on flashing things through cwm. I like it pretty well because is quick and i can flash without having to be connected to the laptop. I was able to get the everything mod flashed, but prior to that could not get the "..package.zip" file to flash and then the am/pm ticker mod would not flash either. Hololauncher would not load/install so there is still plenty to learn before attempting GB as a install. Any advice is always appreciated.
