Yes... I haven't gotten a solid hammered out root method yet.. There is a few that have done it already over at XDA... Following some threads over there trying to get a solid answer.

Awesome, thanks Paul. I won't be able to do this until later tonight at home so I'm doing all the leg work now.

First - THANKS everyone for your hard work (and continued support)!

Anyone have a good MD5 or other checksum for the download? What is the a5ff039a0c97 on the front of the filename from Google's servers? Too short for MD5...

No problem...

I'm not as "on the ball" as I was in the past since I'm not running the Epic 4g anymore... But I still know my way around that sweet little device like the back of my hand...

We will have a solid rooting method before long...

Just the filename/coding they gave it....

I really wouldn't worry about the MD5/checksum... Many have already downloaded and installed it... No prob.

Okay...

Your phone is shut off...

Press and Hold VOLUME DOWN+CAMERA, while holding those press POWER and continue to hold all three buttons for a few seconds.. Should boot into stock recovery.. Blue screen if I remember correctly...

Edit: You can normally do all three buttons together once you get the hang of it, but follow my method above...

I am very pleased to announce that the battery popup and beep is GONE. Although there is still a notification in the bar that it's fully charged. Been a couple hours, and no issues with random reboots, or really anything not working yet.

No. But it does need to be renamed update.zip
If you have known extensions hidden in windows, and it still says .zip, it's probably actually named update.zip.zip which won't work for ya.

i downloaded directly from phone, my laptop broke about2 months ago. i use phone and tablet only. i did rename to update.zip

 

[Skunkape60]

Has anyone done the gingerbread update.zip method on a stock epic without having to reset/wipe their phone yet? I would try this if I knew some people have had success with it. I will wait and chance the ota if everyone it's having to reset after the update. Also, has there been any issues reported so far with this gingerbread update?
so

Did you move it to the root of your SD card, or leave it in the download folder?

 

[Mobius360]

So how is the new GB? Anything the new version of Touchwiz has that's worth mentioning ? GPS stability? Keyboard Lag? Any other little changes not easily noticed? Newer version of swype? Any new bloatware or any removed?
