Just a quick thank you from a long time lurker to everyone who has helped troubleshoot in this thread. I was experiencing the the same issues as others but was able to quickly fix my problems due to the swift response of the experienced folks. I truly appreciate it!!
[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
EG22 seems to be awesome but I do have one question.

Froyo had the option to disable advertisements on the notification bar, but I can't seem to find them on the EG22. Can anyone help me find that tick mark. It is quite annoying to see the notification ads.
[Epic 4G General] hindibuff:
Should have used google to begin with. Found the option. For others, it is in the Market app under settings.
[Epic 4G General] cerberus60:
Just downloaded the file D700EG22.rar from hotfile could I get step by step instructions on how to go about putting this on my epic. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Sure.

Step 1: Get your hand ready.

Step 2: Use it to move your mouse.

Step 3: Click on that little number above the first post on this page that says "1".

Step 4: Read the first post.

Step 5: Follow the insructions.
[Epic 4G General] samwise7:
Well it seems that the tar file is missing or corrupt. The filesize is 0. and when you try to extract it you get nothing.

Edit----NEVER MIND! IT HELPS TO USE THE CORRECT PASSWORD!

How To Update Samsung Epic 4G D700 to EG 22 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware

3 pages with pictures...

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] nathan_arizona:
I just finished downloading this and got it running like a charm. Also went over to samfirmware.com and setup my account.
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Ill try to add a mirror tomorrow since people are still using this :confused: lol
[Epic 4G General] nathan_arizona:
I just stumbled into this thread while I was poking around the internet looking for things to do to my Epic. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Yeah I just figured people would move to the pre rooted stock EG22 roms or the custom EG22 roms we have but I guess there's those who like "do it yourself projects" lol
[Epic 4G General] nathan_arizona:
Yeah I am still learning so anything I can get some hands on experience with is great I honestly didn't know that you had pre rooted and custom roms though. Now I will go searching for them and see what I can do LOLZ.

Also on a side not; Has anyone else noticed that there is no Android keyboard on this build?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
well i wont be adding a mirror because it'll take about 10 hours to upload because i use my phone for the internet but the real reason is that we're getting a new leak next weekend:D
[Epic 4G General] ShooterMcED:
......Love this version, runs well, no crashes, but I've noticed my Gmail is not sending........I only installed & rooted this yesterday........anyone else having this issue? Any idea how to fix?
[Epic 4G General] nathan_arizona:
I will be looking for it lol.:D
[Epic 4G General] jbobspants:
One more version closer to the final release and source!! :-D

On a side note, I just installed EPICUREAN SCrAMbLED EGgs22 v4 and can't stop turning my screen on and off. o_O

[Epic 4G General] mikebarr:
I am running EF02, am rooted with proper CWM, have correct Odin and EG22 builds, and I cannot get this to run. It starts, fails, then locks itself up in the downloading view and won't reboot. To get my phone back, I need to boot to Download mode, connect to Odin, and reinstall CWM.

I have used all of these tools before, have followed instructions verbatim, and it simply won't work. Any ideas or gotchas for me?

Also, I always remove my sd card and have tried with with and without battery, same result each time. I see others have had similar issues, but I wasn't able to find a concrete resolution. If its there, maybe I missed it?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
EH06 is the newest leak :p , go over to the dev section, there are some good custom and stock EH06 roms.....
[Epic 4G General] MrAutomatic:
Say hello to the dingaling that screwed up the Odining...

I ran everything correctly except instead I used the cmw .tar file initially thinking I could bypass the SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar file. Interesting enough the Odin passed, and when the phone went to reboot, nothing. Took the battery out and did a power cycle for a minute. Put it back in. Nothing. Should I start driving to the Sprint store now (there's actually a good tech there that roots customers phones lol)?

Another thing I noticed is that when I renamed the file from .md5 to .tar, when I check properties it still reads as a 7z file.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Did you unzip the original downloaded file or just change the name? You have to unzip it first, the you find the tar file inside.
[Epic 4G General] MrAutomatic:
Ahhhh I gotta unzip the unzipped ahhh I got it! Yay.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I flashed the .tar and mine shows EG22 both rom and baseband.
[Epic 4G General] smark72:
Can we gain root the same way as last time by odining cwm and then flashing su ?
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Yes, I just did it.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Omg, EG22, that was not expected, good stuff! Samfirmware comes through again. I'll personally wait to flash until D3ca / chris do their magic on this :) This should be a very stable build after all the various GB builds.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
duce, so the steps are

1. battery pull after powering off

2.put .pit if on ext 4

3. put modem.smd in PDA

what about the actual md5 do I use it or what?

thanks trying to make sure
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
please go thank samfirmware on twitter and/or make an account on their website/forum.... they really deserve it for giving us these goodies =D
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
no the modem.smd goes in the phone section
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
My steps.

1. Download mode

2. Odin

3. Put victory_8G_100528.pit in pit

4. extract SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5.7z, rename the extracted .md5 to just .tar

5. Put the SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar in PDA

6. Uncheck repartition and f. reset time

7. start

I have EG22 on both the rom and baseband using this method.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
thanks duce got confused I noticed it only showed the debug md5 weird

sick rape man one big issue for me lol
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
thanks LunaticWolf for helping me out with helping others lol i quoted your instructions in the OP
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I made a small clarification edit.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTar/cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5

Link for the Odin CWM flash file

Rename it to just .tar and put it in the PDA section
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Disregard, everything is included in rar.
[Epic 4G General] RSPC:
Thanks for the instructions. Just finished my dl after waiting 2X30min with hotfile:(

Don't forget to do Backups first...

Password is samfirmware.com

I'll post back after the flash:)
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Posted thank you :)
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Guys, everything is in the .rar package already, all you need there is Odin, pit, and main tar file. MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT REBOOT IN ODIN! After you flash that, flash cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5 in Odin for CWM and su.zip in CWM for Superuser (all links in OP thanks to theduce102 / LunaticWolf). That should give you full root access.
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Where did we flash the cwm tar last time? Lol I need sleep
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
First impressions?
[Epic 4G General] vauche:
Renaming the pda file to just tar, doesnt show up when trying to odin! instead i see modem.smd and debugkernel and victory files.
[Epic 4G General] FrameCityJackal:
guys if you flash the modem.sdm you get EG14 so they gave us a twofer

whoever hasnt slept yet sleep lol i know i havent

[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Modem is much improved over ef series. :)

do not rename SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5.7z file, just extract it, should be around 294mb after decompression.

This leak seems to be a worthy daily compared to last leaks.

Let get this party get started with de/odexed ROMs!!!!
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Good job op. Thanks for the for the find. Can't flash till tonight. Everyone please thank samfirmware on twitter and also thank theduce fir posting it.

[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
Damn this drops on my moving day. I can't flash until tonight myself. Thanks OP.
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
Out the box, this seems like a great ROM so far.

GPS is giving me the fastest locks I've seen with the most satellites. Quadrant scores are great for a stock ROM. Had no problem flashing recovery through Odin and installing SU.

Only thing I've noticed is that Titanium seems to never compelte app restored or freezing apps. Maybe I'll try a reinstall of the app.

Haven't gotten a feel for how good battery life is yet, but certainly no complaints as of now.

I read in a article somewhere that there is a known issue with ActiveSync to Exchange accounts on Samsung phones due to an issue in the Samsung libraries that drains battery life excessively in GB ROMs. Wondering if this hopefully may have been corrected as well
[Epic 4G General] vauche:
my victory8gb is 284Mb an my SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5.7z is 149MB
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Very nice, if it runs great as is on stock, I have no problems sticking with an odexed ROM. I just require a high level of stability, good battery life, and functional GPS, all of which this seems to have :)
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Im confused is this rooted or not!?
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
No, use su.zip in CWM to gain root access provided in OP.

FYI, this is a stock leaked ROM.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
No, out of the box, it's just stock EG22 (albeit a leak). For root, you must flash CWM with Odin first, and then Superuser in CWM. It's all outlined in the OP.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
From reading I gathered that you need to odin CWM then flash the su.zip. No confusion for me.
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
If titanium freezing on restoring change to indirect in settings
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Yesterday i went on the acs website to see that efo2 bamboozled rom and it said it was cwm 3 and 4 compatible

odin went good, eg22 is my baseband but still getting ef02 to ef10 update, i know i just have to freeze system updates but still weird
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
I just want to put my 2 cents out here for people to read.

Samfirmware.com was awesome enough to get us the latest leak after I asked on their twitter on Jul 11th, they followed through.

First I hope everyone that downloads and runs EG22 will drop by their site and twitter, @Samfirmware, and show some love, its the respectful thing to do.

I feel like having a mirror is taking away from their deserved traffic to their site and exposure, also they cant meter how many users downloaded it. Even if we just post the hotfile link they provide would be better than putting up a DB link, this way they can see how many US users are interested in the Epic4G. By doing this, maybe they will work more in future to get leaks for our phone because of the number of hits to their site, or the number on the hotfile counter.

Also I know some people feel that them saying for people to donate more from US, they are not demanding it. It cant hurt to ask, so I signed up for their one time premium deal.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Why did you make a new thread with this exact same passage in it?

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Strange, just went to replicate your issue, but when I goto update firmware say mine is upto date.

baseband eg22 here
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Post extraction should result in file named "SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" with a size of 294mb.

FYI, you will perform 2 extractions: the main "D700EF22.rar" then in the sub folder another file extraction named "SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" which is the file you put in PDA box using Odin.
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
I made that thread first, I felt like more people would see it outside of a thread that has 8 pages in a few hours, just trying to make sure people don't forget why we have our leak in the first place and to show some thanks. I posted it here as well because a part of what I said was directed to this thread and the mirror.

Let the new thread get buried if you don't agree .
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Finally a new leak :D

Hopefully there won't be modem crashes...
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
Anyone having trouble using ODIN or is not near a puter, Dec just made a update.zip of the new leak that flashable through CWM. Be sure to thank SamFirmware for giving us the leak because they deserve all the credit, & thank you to OP for staying up all nite waiting for the leak to go live and getting the first drop on it for us!
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
anyone gonna start a thread on bugs or user experience for this rom?

Can anyone make suggestions on how to flash this using heimdall? I'm rather new to flashing and am using a Linux machine. I can run Odin in wine, but when clicking the start button, it immediately prints a single line: "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"

Suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Try removing the usb cable and rebooting into download mode, then reconnect and try Odin again.
[Epic 4G General] MadOtis:
No joy. I even tried using a blackberry USB cable instead of the cheap USB cable that comes with it. At least with the blackberry USB cable, I can see something show up in dmesg (I never got anything in dmesg with the stock cable):

EB14?

Hello everyone,

Have a couple of questions. I know I did everything to a "T" but has anyone confirmed that we needed to add the modem.smd?

Here is what is reporting from the "about screen."

Fw 2.3.4

Baseband S: D700.0.5S.EG14

Build Number gingerbread.EG22

HV D700.0.5

Should the modem be "EG14" ?

Because I keep getting the "upgrade modem" request on reboots.

Also, I have the cwm/SU flashed and titanium pro keeps crashing after installing one app from back up.

Other than that, things seem much faster. The wifi is incrediable fast now on my phone. Pages are loading twice as fast. Not getting the boxes on scrolling web pages. GPS locks within a few seconds.

Only real issue is this modem request that we were seeing on the EF modem.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I'm going to run this leak all day and I will report on it later tonight.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I thought it was supposed t be eg14? Also how is it so far? Thanks guys.
[Epic 4G General] keithkevorkian:
Can somebody please post a link for the new modem
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Your issue has nothing to do with what is actually on your phone. You are getting that message because your phone is still registered on sprint's servers as having OTAed to ef10 modem. Even when you flash a new modem, your phone doesnt report it's status to the server because it wasnt forced to go throug hands free activation. Here's what you need to do:

First, you'll need your MSL. Look in the "improve 4g speeds" thread for the connectbot instructions on how to find this.

Next, go to about phone, and write down you MSID and MDN: this is just incase your phone fails handsfree activation.

Go to the dialer pad, type ##RTN#; then hit reset and enter you MSL. THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE

Good to go after handsfree activation upon restart. If for some reason handsfree fails, go to th dialer pad, hit ##"your msl"# then edit the msid and mdn to what you wrote down earlier (exclude any extraneous 0's, they should both look like a phone number)
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
You are retarded. Nexus S 4G hasn't even received it's update yet
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
So wdm how I it so far? Is it speedy and does the modem seem stable? Just wonderng if ishould flash yet or wait for acs bamboozle.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Also do NOT rename the file from md5 to tar. The md5 is to ensure you have a valid file. Tar will override it and could potentially hard your device.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I am flashing as we speak. I am not going to root it so I can test this out 100%.
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
I just flashed Decad3nce's update.zip version. First thing I noticed is no more acceleromenter lag. Scrolling through the menus is a little choppier than the EF builds though. Trying to find a way to flash the new modem now, then gonna fully charge, calibrate battery, then test battery life over the next day or two.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I'll report flashing was successful and booting was fast. This thing is actually very nice. All basic functions are working. And my baseband is EG22, not EG14
[Epic 4G General] keithkevorkian:
Hoping someone can post a link for the modem I flashed the deodexed rom and have ee03 modem and it is really laggy especially browsing the web

[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Lol.are you going to show this off to ur coworkers
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
That doesn't make any sense? Unless the gtalk apk needs updated, and it's not included in the ROM. Id say that would have to be the case.
[Epic 4G General] Tomqerz:
I think it's not :(:(
[Epic 4G General] ivcesar:
omy this is great :D

so does this mean the official GB is almost release ive heard it was

going to be out no later then july
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
So you think this may be the official build or are we gonna see at least one more build?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Of course! I love rubbing this stuff into everyones faces

It could be possible, but we will see. I would be satisfied with this going official. Seriously I have not run into any lag or bugs yet.

Just being realistic gingerbread is old and icecream sandwhich is the new flavor of the month. Why have gb when ics is the newest. Would you buy yesterdays model or the newest and greatest model? I like having the stuff that is not out like windows 8. Windows 7 blows when u use windows 8
