Has anyone received EI22 OTA?

**kamjam26** · 11-17-2011, 04:55 PM

I received my update on Tuesday but since I was rooted it didn't work so I had to go unroot and flash it from the link on AC

I just did a Profile and PRL update and after the radio reset by the PRL update it found the GB update and is currently downloading. Before that, the device would report no update available. Worth a try if you still haven't recieved the push... (stock Froyo, btw)

You either have a fussy OTA device or might just be at the end of the line for the OTA update.

I didn't end up getting the chance to do the manual update yesterday after work, as I had hoped.

But, a few minutes ago, I grabbed the phone to check the time and lo and behold, the OTA notification was there!!!! Yippie!

I'm at work and my battery is only 49% so, it's charging now.

When it's full, I'll install.

If I encounter any issues, I'll be hitting the boards!

Thanks for your vote of confidence, Paul!

No problem.... I figured it was just running a bit late coming out to you... Then again that is Samsungs style isn't it? LOL..

Best of luck.

Just got it about 12 cst

**Paul627g** · 11-18-2011, 12:58 PM

Judging from some of the users chiming in that they received it today, Google must have the OTA juice turned up to catch the remaining users that didn't receive it yet

I just got back my phone today. I had to send it off to Samsung for repair. The update showed up almost immediately. Downloaded and installed pretty quickly.

My phone was unrooted and running stock when I got it back. Don't know if the update would have showed up and worked if my phone was still rooted at the time.

I got the notification yesterday selected instal now. It restarted in what looks like the hard reset menu did something but then gave me the reset menu options i.e. reboot, instal from sd card etc. It rebooted and nothing still on Froyo. I am rooted and that is it no roms, kernels etc. Havent recieved notification again.

You can try to force the update by goto into Settings/About Phone/ then selecting the System Updates, etc..

I have done that a few times. I am just going to either hard reset or factory reset tonight.

Try updating your PRL/Profile? Someone posted that triggered their OTA update....

Plus you always have the manual update method...

I updated them earlier today. And still nothing when you hit update. That is true I'll look at that to when I get home.

Thanks Paul

I reset my phone and it is now updating to EI22 gingerbread. About time. Lol!

Well once the download finished and I clicked install/reboot, it went to the menu showing extracting the files then an error occurred, so I factory reseted this time. Redid everything and it occured again. Found out it is still rooted. This blows.

Sorry i'm mobile so I can't do links very easy. Goto the official GB update thread and see the original post and towards ths bottom you will see the link to restore to Froyo with Odin.

Do that and then you should receive the OTA update after you get on stock/unrooted Froyo.

I went to youtube found someone who linked a program from Samsung called SWUpgrade for SPH-D700 and followed the instructions and it worked. Root is gone and it is now updating to EC05, then I will update to EI22. Took awhile but I am making progress.

Again thank you for helping me!

**rando991** · 11-18-2011, 09:39 PM

I got my OTA today and later flashed the Kernel fix, CWM Purple, Superuser, and the GPS fix. Both our Epics were only getting 4 of 9 sats after the update. As soon as I flashed the OTA, I started getting 8/9. My wife doesn't really use the GPS and probably wouldn't notice much of an improvement over highway nav, but she may decide to let me root hers to freeze or remove bloat and stuff.

**mobags** · 11-18-2011, 09:52 PM

I finally have gingerbread!

Yes I am aware of the program. Its basically a "doctored" or masked for Windows version of Odin. Its all user friendly but behind the fancy Windows prompts its Odin in disguise... It takes all the "risks" out of the general user actually having to setup and use actual Odin.

Actually let you in on a little secret, we pulled the Froyo EB13 Odin tar from this program after it installs on your computer. If you were to look in your computer where it was installed you will find the Odin tar file for Froyo EB13 in there.

Look in this location on your computer
C:\Program Files\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade for SPH-D700\Models\Binary\SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5

Same file can be used in Odin

Pretty cool huh?

Glad things worked out....

Thanks again. I consider myself tech savy but wish I knew more about the insides of computers and phones i.e the os.

**turtle763** · 11-19-2011, 08:30 AM

just recieved it this morning took long enough

**GrooveRite** · 11-19-2011, 12:18 PM

So I was going to finally MANUALLY upgrade last night after backing up my SDcard and then when I activated my 'background data' in order to DL an SMS backup app.....lo and behold what pops up.....my OTA!!! This is my first OTA since I've had this phone because I've been impatient up until now to upgrade. I held out this time because the last time I upgraded to Froyo, I forgot to backup a lot of important info that was on my phone and didn't want to make the same mistake again! What I wanted to ask you guys is if I should do a factory reset to get good/better/best (if any) performance since most of my stuff from froyo is still there? Phone seems to be working well for me now though. Thoughts?

**TheHostileGamer** · 11-19-2011, 12:24 PM

I got my update Friday the 18th around 6 am and I have to say, I feel like I finally have a complete phone. Will it be enough from me going back to iPhone, probably not

Thanks, Paul. And yes - lol! I guess as the saying goes "better late than never!" The OTA went smooth. I've been spending the past 24 hours checking things out, what's diff, what's not, all of that. Overall, I'm content and happy to have gingerbread in time for the holidays! I'll likely be lurking around the boards, periodically.

Best of luck to you as well (doing it big with the Nexus - lol), and thanks for your unmatched support of remaining Epic users, such as myself.

Thank you and I do enjoy helping you all out. This section started to get awful quiet over the last few months waiting on GB so it was nice to see some life back into the Epic 4g.

Enjoy and thanks again.
Paul.
