You have to be on EI22 to use the manual method....Question: when I odin back to froyo and jump back to gingerbread, do I need to first go back to EI22 or can I flash this EL30 zip right away?
Okay, I'm looking to root and go with CM7, but I'm seeing posts about flashing modem?
I thought CM7 was the be-all-end-all. Guess I'm a bit behind, can someone point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for direction to a stable root/ROM (don't have time to flash update every week). One that will give me good radio, including WiMAX, able to tether my tablet to it (over WiMAX would be great, too), good GPS, no bloat and yes, working voice call and voice mail. I thought CM7 was it, but now...
Thanks.
As someone who isn't an avid Android tweaker this post was a bit confusing to me. However, post #63 helped clear things up.See Post # 28 on the XDA site about this: Direct google link to download EL30 update here! - Page 3 - xda-developers

Now where to find EI22.zip to get the original GPSD file?
Hey people were saying that by removing CiQ they were getting better battery life can anyone say how battery life is with the new update. Also what is the horizontal fix for can anyone explain that.

In Froyo, a lot of our phones got the pitch axis upside down (I don't know if all of them were, maybe they were and the ones who didn't complain never knew they had the problem). What this caused was VERY EXTREMELY erractic compass, and things like Google Skymaps would never point within 30 degrees. What you had to do was go into settings/display/horizontal calibration and lay the phone upsidedown on a table with the calibrate button visible, press it while phone was upside down and this would correct the orientation of the pitch axis, so compass apps would work. Now you don't have to do this.
This is getting slightly off topic but useful for those of us who want to stay as close to stock as possible without rooting.
I used Odin & CWM to install the GPS fix to EI22 without rooting. But now we've learned that the EL30 update will fail as long as we have the gpsd file from the gps fix, so we need to get the original gpsd file in there.
Is it possible to copy the original gpsd file into the gps update zip file and re-apply the zip? Wouldn't that put the original gpsd file back in there without rooting and enable us to apply the EL30 update?
If that won't work, how about reapplying EI22? Or will that fail, just like EL30, due to the gpsd file?
Yes. I hate it!! That was one of my favorite features. It just doesn't do my wallpaper justice anymore....Ran the manual update. Has anyone else noticed that wallpaper no longer scrolls when you change screens but is 'stuck' with the center of the wallpaper pic? I've tried changing wallpapers and using the built in offerings but they all behave the same way.
Definitely worth a shot.... CWM will overwrite the modded GPS fix and replace it with the stock file. Then you should be able to update.. Sounds good in theory... Lets see how real world goes... Report back on this...

My guess is that it wasn't a fix but a new bug introduced. Fix one thing break 3 others... It's the never-ending story.Same here. I know it'll affect anyone that switches to this new upgrade but I'm disappointed that I can't see my entire wallpaper anymore. Why change something that wasn't even broken?
Were there a whole bunch of users complaining about the wallpaper moving and I just missed that along the way?
