Look at his post count--that will tell you.
I am new to this stuff. I dont much and i Just put ef02 on my phone last week
EI22 is the official GB release for the Epic. Read up and work your way into a stock rom based on EI22.
Is your phone rooted?

No sir my phone is not rooted. qbking video showed how to usea program called odin to put gingerbread on without rooting. it works well i just hate having sprint junk on my phone. people say rooting does wondersi just have no clue how to. qbking showed a very easy 5minute video on how to put gingerbread on and it worked.
OK so i took the plunge into rooting my phone. Thanks to Qbkings video I was able to put on the Legendary ROM in about 10minutes. Rooting was actually very easy. The ROM is amazing and removed all the crap off my phone and made it super fast. Now i flashed to 3.2 from 3.1 and 3.2 to 3.3 without rebooting and everything is fine but i read that you should reboot after doing each one. Does anyone know if this will be an issue? thanks

I like many downloaded and ran the DK28 froyo upgrade when it came out only for official releases to come out later down the line.
I stood with DK28 until now because for the most part it worked really well. Ten, I started encountering random problems from the phone never calling out successfully on the first attempt to the wifi refusing to turn on unless I turned the phone off then back on.
I have gotten tired of these problems as well as sluggish performance. I wanted to update to the last official build. Are we on EC05?
What is the easiest way to do this? I am not rooted. I have never used Odin or the samsung updater. I am not that tech savvy on my own but can easily follow well explained steps.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

I simply ran it as an update.zip and it was like receiving a pseudo OTA. I never rooted because I never had a reason to. I am tempted to root now so that I can create a backup of apps and maybe some texts.
Since I am not rooted, could I simply run EC05 as another update.zip file or will this simply not work.
It would be easier to follow this

I think no rom's started until di18... atleast as I remember, I've had the phone since the day after release
Edit- Im pretty sure we had root on the day it was released but no roms yet... noobnl made the first rom but I think it was only bloat removed and it was di18 .
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Cool I guees ill have to make the first DG27 rom just for fun lol
EDIT: did anyone even think about giving EG14 a chance? Lol.... im sure there could have been some stuff that worked in it that possibly broke in EG22..... just a bored thought.....
Was on CM7 thinking that the wifi was terrible and I needed a good signal so I thought I'd go back to the 2.2 roms. So far all Ive been able to do is update the phone to 2.2 stock and I HATE IT!
Quick! what is the fastest method to gain root and get a ROM on there!?
Thanks in advance!
Odin to jfd and root. Then install cwm or if you have the old update.zip reinstall that a couple of times. Oh yeah don't forget to put a rom on as wwell.
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA App
wait wait wait. I feel like such a noob. I odin'd to jfd (stock 2.1 right) rooted and installed clockwork recovery. Tried to flash trigger and it didn't work, which made me think, "crap, do I need to be on 2.2?' dammit! I am confused... Are you saying that I should have been able to flash trigger 3.2 from stock, rooted, 2.1? It didn't work for some reason...oh jeez...I bet it was a bad dl...
Yeah. Basically. You might need to wait a little for voodoo to kick in, but I've flashed trigger 3.2 multiple times on 2.1 stock.rooted.

i just flashed bionixs 1.3.1 sooo nice
Yeah it is nice, but you could also try any other 2.2 rom. Every dev beat the **** out of 2.2 so its basically perfect for us rom wise
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA App
Yea! It worked! Ya know, seriously, it must be the hardware because this phone WITHOUT custom roms SUCKS big time... I don't know how anyone could handle being stock. It is so slow and clunky. Samsung sucks at software. I'm going back to htc on my next.. K. Enough ranting. Thanks guys!

Yeah I know your going back to HTC....I think it was you who made a thread in general how great the sensation was -_- but on some phone stock 2.2 runs great

Amen to that! These devs make this phone what it should be. On that note, I misspoke before. My next will definitely be the nexus prime. The beauty there is solid samsung hardware and pure google software. I don't even care what carrier gets it. I'll switch for that sucker!

I've got official GB running on my phone, but I'm not sure if video chat is part of the this version of Gtalk. We're running 2.3.5 so I thought that it would have it since that was added in 2.3.4. Thanks in advance for any insight that you guys can offer.

Humm One more thing sam-sucking-sprint cant get right
yes i'm being mister negative today. I no i no
Wow... that is just inexcusable considering how late the Epic got Gingerbread...especially being one of the 1st phones that had a FFC to begin with....
Just add the zip shinnydude posted awhile back. Also, ACS ICS EI22 has it baked in the rom.
Weird if the rom is 2.3.5 than it should work because you need 2.3.4 or higher I believe.

Yeah, the permissions are set wrong in it, but you can just flash the su.zip to get root back.
Worked for me! No issues.
I was about to post a reply, but you guys already took care of that, and as Shane said, be sure to have a flashable Su handy.

Okay, I had to buy a refurb Epic and EL30 is snappy. For example, the applications populate instantly when I choose Manage Applications. GPS actually works too. It's very polished and refined. This will definitely hold me over until the SGS3 releases later this year.
Fyi- I paid $162 from Ebay. The phone looks absolutely brand new.
I thought so too. But then I started missing all of the goodies from CM7.

EL30 seemed buggy to me. I had to run a different kernel to stop the reboots. Back on cm7 now, and anxiously waiting for cm9!!

I have yet to have a freeze or reboot crop up on EL30.
I rooted to remove bloatware, and applied the wifi hotspot hack.

What ROM did you flash? I was just using the odexed EL30 and the reboots were bad. I haven't seen any el30 ROMs. Seems like everyone is still using EI22.

There are a couple el30 custom roms out... sleeper and hoffmans "long way to go" (not officially named yet). And no random reboots here on stock el30 or the custom el30 roms....

I'm on the stock + rooted + deodexed with the clean gingerbread with slight mods kernel. I'm driving, so I can't provide links to the individual posts where I got each thing.
My GPS on Froyo was good, On GB leak it was bad, on GB official its Bad as well. On CM7 its still bad, with several GPS Fixes it doesn't fix anything Argggg.
Wish i knew what the cause for this is, on the official release of GB for HTC devices GPS is flawless. But mine it stutters and laggs never consistent.

Oh, I only do clean slate installs starting from EC05. I was surprised with the reboots since they really didn't change much from EI to EL. My fiance had the same issues with hers.
