Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Official Froyo EB13

@keithvetter..

- update.zip will not wipe your phone.
- windows installer will completely wipe your phone.

When you say completely, you don't really mean completely do you? Will windows installer delete sd card contents?

based on the reactions in this thread, I will happily wait for the OTA

Hi im rooted using clockwork mod for recovery and I cant get the update.zip to take need help??

 

[_Bak_]

On first impression battery life is much improved. Ive been running a live wallpaper since %17, its been noticeably longer than DK28 would have lasted and im still at %5. Anyone noticing a difference?

Edit- no airplane mode or drm toggle

Hey Paul, thanks for your dedicated work on this, you are doing an amazing job, just one question, can I use this odin method over the top of the DK28 or do I need to revert back to eclair before using Odin? I thought that Odin wipes everything so I am assuming that the .tar file would allow me to use it while my phone is on DK28, just trying to eliminate steps

I would love to know the same thing. Can I avoid the step of reverting back to Eclair?

yes yes you did. I really need help getting from unrooted dk28 to eb13 if you can help or point me in the right direction i would love it.

look at the first page of this thread now. it has been updated with more options and answers to questions. i am on stock 2.1 so i have not been following the dk28 stuff closely

I would LOVE to know this too.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. While the instructions for both the updater zip and windows updater both look very easy, there are enough people having problems. Could I follow the instructions provided? absolutely... Could I fix the issues that these guys are having? probably not.

If my OTA update screws up, I can take my phone back to sprint.

Whoever posted the poll should have divided the questions between how the updates were installed. The windows installers or the update zip method. I would be interested to know which way was having the most issues.

There is nothing new posted there. I am going to sleep on it. Maybe answers will come in my dreams.

Im on stock eclair with root and clockwork. I've read thru this entire thread and im guessing im stuck waiting for the ota since I have clockwork??

Guys Download the Epic4G installer File ( Windows Version) Follow the instructions, Back up your files ect.. to the SD card, the installer will install a fresh copy of EB13, everything in your SDcard will be intact( just as Ragnarok,Paul and many others) have been mentioning continuously, and POW! you're updated, then just Root eB13 and you're good to go , i haven't had any problems after this O _o so i don't see why people are having them though.

And yes, all i did was that, i didn't have to Odin to Eclair or anything, just Follow the installer options and you're good to go , I was previously on 1.5 TER.

Pls hit thanks!

If I can Odin on top of dk28, What pit file do I use?

sorry there was new stuff there when i looked but maybe it is old to other people because i did not look soon enough.

i know at some point there will be a flashable version to use with clockwork

EDIT: kikoshi may have the answer above!

I did not find one in the Windows Installer. Just use the .tar file in the Windows Installer version and you should be good to go with Odin

 

[Vivi#AC]

Anyone else not having the auto-correct feature on the android keyboard work anymore?

Also, what's going on with the unsynced calendar? Some of my events synced and some didn't.

Okay I've figured out why myine wouldn't update. A couple of weeks ago, I rooted and unrooted my phone in the same day. I did not install any ROMs or remove any bloatware.

On Saturday, I saw the Superuser app on my phone so I rooted, removed it, unrooted, and did a factory restore. I just realized my Asphalt 5 Demo is gone and I don't know what happened to it!

How do I get it back? There is an Asphalt folder on my sd card, but I can't open any of the files. Does anyone have the .apk so that I can update to Froyo?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks Paul! But just to confirm for me and many others: I can take the .tar file plug it in Odin, even on top of DK28??

Same problem here!!:'(

Again, can anybody help? everything is fine EXCEPT the calendar....I get NOTHING.

Someone please help

I need to add myself to this, I even added an appointment on my phone to my Google calendar and it does show on the phone.

However, anything that is on Google calendar is not downloading to the phone.

Any ideas?

Also I would appreciate if you can clarify (maybe in the OP) if you can do the windows installer method over dk28 or only when on stock eclair? (In other words, do rooted dk28 guys need to use the original Odin with the .tar file, or can they use the windows installer that samsung provides?)
