So my cuzin just got a replacement phone
I wanted to see if it was el30 or not
So I called him and asked him to check baseband version (he doesn't know much about phones) and he said its ei22 but the phone is asking for an update which he did not allow cuz he wants to wait till he gets home and do it over wifi
I might get to see my cuzin today
I just wanted to see if I could help everyone out here and somehow get the el30 filesystem on here for others to flash it butttttt I would need help since idk how to do it lol
And I need to double check to make sure 100% he knows what he's was telling me and that he really is getting an update. After already have ei22
I just wanna give something to this community for helping me out with all my phone needs
So does anyone think this would be helpful and wanna help me do it now or u all just wanna wait for someone else to get a .tar or flashable modem or the ota update??

You'd have to do a filedump via odin I'm sorry I don't know how to do that but that's what's needed

dm k0nane. if he's around, he can get a clean version from it
I'm at work right now I'm about to leave soon and ill see if I can meet up with my cuzin
I don't wanna get everyones hopes up but I will have it by the end of tonight if possible and if my cuzin really is getting the update
Ill pm him just to see the steps and try to do it on my own later when I have the phone

you could always root EI22, then use a root file manager and copy the update.zip from the /cache folder. I'm betting if there is a modem update, it's just a delta change like the update from EC05 to EI22..

okay...we already knew this was true, but i have a question.
When the real froyo comes out, will we have to flash back to the DI18 stock w/ Odin or will we be able to update the manual way like we did for this "test"? (I know it wouldn't show up in the system updates notification)
Since ur probably gonna root and load a custom rom anyway, pretty sure u can just wait for the rom packages to be updated and go straight from dk28

Yea, but doing that will inevitably lead to problems. The best way to do it is to return to DI18 and let Android update you the normal way, then root, then install whatever rom you want. If DK28 has taught us anything, its that trying to take the shortcut leads to non functional GPS and other problems.
Which means we'll probably be getting the final build of froyo in a few months judging by the current rate of progress. SOOOOOOO tired of waiting.
I checked the Sprint forums.
One of the admin suggests that the official update will be released within 3 weeks at the least, unless there's problems. Which...there will be -_-
I one-clicked rooted my Epic and have DK28 installed. Since then I uninstalled some bloatware (amazon mp3, Nascar...) and installed Wifi Tether. So here comes the noobie question, what would happen if I just installed the OTA after the 26th (assuming this date is actually correct)?
PS. My GPS sucks right now, so, if the OTA is a horrible idea. Would using odin and going back to DI18 be possible with the root and uninstalled apps. From there I could flash back into DK28 and hope for some accurate GPSing.
Thanks for your Help
Cheers

once you root, you CANNOT RECIVEVE OTA's. you will have to flash another rom that has that OTA as a base for it.
So then do you suggest using something like odin to flash back to DI18?
I am sorry for my insane noobdome, very new to this whole business.

Yeah if you wanted to grab the new OTA on the 26ish (lol) you would have to odin back to DI18 then grab the update.

You get OTA's while rooted.. but if you've modified anything else you won't get the update.
So in order to get the OTA you will need to odin back to di18
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You wont be able to get the OTA, but I would recommend just waiting a couple hours after the first OTAs get pushed and there will be few a pre-rooted, CW-redirected basically stock builds pushed out by the developers. Then you can just flash those, and they will be basically stock but have the root goodness and you wont have to go backwards just to go forwards. When the "official unofficial DK28" dropped, it was only a couple hours before devs had them out the door.
Dont worry about the ota ,wait until its rooted and cooked up for us it will be very quickly after it is released. Besides the ota inst coming Sunday anyway. we may see it sooner who knows.

That's not true. You can as long as you don't remove any sprint apps or flash a custom rom. Rooting does nothing but given what is essentially administrator (aka superuser) privelges. You will lose root once the ota hits, but I won't do anything to harm your device. However, it will with stck apps removed.
To answer the ops question though:
Download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps and data. Odin back to di18 and then use the same oneclickroot (assuming you got it from the sticky in development) to get root and reinstall titanium (it requires root). Run a Batch reinstall of all missing apps and data. Bingo. You'll have everything back to normal on di18.

Will there be an option to download the flash the stock 2.2 update from samsungs website or from sprints website. Waiting for the OTA update is going to drive me nuts....
I don't think that's publicly known yet.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You will get it from here long before it shows up on Sprint or Samsungs website. From my understanding the first four days are ota only.
I figure by noon EDT there will be a rooted .tar here. Break out Odin and flash away.
My guess is epic will be oat only. No mini kies for you.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It will be almost instant..as soon as someone catches the Google URL we can just download it manually and flash via stock recovery...same way we did with the DK28...
Cant wait! Im running the new kernel at 1.2. Love it! Its back on top on benchmark2010. LG optimus 2x is 2nd place with its dual core. Gotta love the hummingbird gpu.
Someone will have to OTA and check the logcat for the dl address. Then all the rest of us can cook root into it and slap it on our bricks-o'-epic.
ughh i can't wait! Going back to 2.1 for now is making me crazy lol.

I have heard of a lot of reports from people that loose functionality of their radio and even more drastic problems after flashing some ODIN packages...
Now, i don't know which ODIN package is responsible, i know that bubby323 did make a faulty package, somewhere down the line..
ODIN is a last resort... Us here can get you up and working most of the time without even having to open up... ClockWorkRecovery is our friend
If you absolutely need to ODIN, What i suggest is going into the package with 7-zip, and checking whether or not there is a modem file... if there is, delete it... That's just my advise
Also, i have had a couple of reports of people getting fried from with CWM.... As of right now, i would tread lightly in there.... Backups and Restores should be fine, but don't do anything crazy in there If you do need to do anything does not require edify (3.0+) scripting, i suggest using the blue recovery...
This is all just my own personal opinions and such, do whatever you want
Thank you for the warning

Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums. I also got a really big question to ask. Well I usually root my phone with Visionary using a TempRoot. Then I updaed my Evo Shift via OTA, or going to the HTC Software update thing and now I can't really root my phone I guess. Is there a solution to root my phone even though I have Gingerbread? If not right now, maybe soon? I really want to use the tethering app to tether to my PS3. PLEASE HELP!!!!
As of now no there is not. And it might take a while before there is one. Idk if your phone already came with the ota update, but if it didn't you could have waited cuz the same day the ota went live there was a rooted version here already.
Just about 2 hrs later it was rooted.Pretty much a fundemental, if htc or sprint push out an ota update it will unroot your phone.

You can use the sprint RUU to downgrade to froyo and then root it, worked for me, I'm not on my computer so I can't link it but it shouldn't be that hard to find. And instead of temp rooting it there's a nice gui in the dev section that will perm root it pretty easily then u can flash the rooted 2.3 update through CWM

You will need a computer but if you remember setting up your gingerbread update it asks if you want to back up your device on google..... Use ruu to go back root and flash a rom like cm7 and you can restore your device or you can use titanium backup to... Well... Back up and restore your apps. Also google as you know backs up your contacts. So you should be set.... Anyone else let me know if there is something i missed.

The RUU can be found in the Evo Shift wiki by going to the following URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy
Luckily the RUU pretty much walks you through the process itself. You'll need the HTC sync drivers if I remember correctly in order for it to find your phone. You should be all good. Good luck, dood
