[How-To] Update to DI18 manually

Andrew Ruffolo · 10-02-2010, 01:05 PM

OK, I have the file

and I'm sharing!!!!

1. [Only registered users can view links. ]
2. make sure its named update.zip and nothing else. if its named something else like update1.zip, change it to update.zip
3. turn phone off
4. Hold down camera, volume down and press power.
5. Use volume down to select SDCard: update.zip
6. Press Home on the capacitive buttons to select.
7. Phone should automatically install and reboot.

Upload cap is definitely fixed. You MUST have DI07 installed for this to work.

I applied the update as you stated, and Wow. Very impressive. I got 969 down and 614 up in 3G. Wifi and 4G were both off. I never knew that 3G could go so fast.

Also make sure you have all the original bloatware on your Epic, in case you deleted them.

It will not install if for example, Qik or Sprint Zone are missing.

Its just white on the phone. Looks like 2 pieces of paper. If so, thats fine. Shouldn't look like a folder (on the phone). On the computer, it should look like a zip file.

I was about to say...

root of sdcard = not in any folder

example:
Picture 1 is inside DCIM and on the Sdcard would be:
sdcard/DCIM/Picture 1

This needs to be:
sdcard/update.zip

Hey... 1 months is pretty fast to have 3 updates (well 2, one prior to release). I'm definitely happy camper now. The nice thing, google had the keys to this and therefore, no loss of protected apps like the last update.
