So do we need CWM or something to update? Would like to use this on a non-rooted phone.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
need to use stock recovery to flash this.
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
Yes...

1. Rename to update.zip

2. Place on root directory of sdcard (directory that pops up when you mass storage your device to computer)

3. Boot into stock recovery (Vol Down+Camera+Power)

4. Select install update.zip

5. Boot into GB !

Mirror Link : EC05 to EI22 GB update.zip

Enjoy!

Drop me a plug for the mirror please!
[Epic 4G General] Jed Dignazio:
Just rename it update.zip and place it in the root of your sd card. Hold vol up an vol down, camera, and power to get into recovery and apply update.

I just booted up my stock Gingerbread!!, Thanks!!!!:eek:
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
And for those who don't know, the "home" key is the select key. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] Apollo83:
Can we be on a custom rom to use this .zip or do we have to be on stock EC05??
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Thanks.. I've flashed quite a few ROMs via CWM before, but never using the stock recovery. Will do this tonight.
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
Have to be on stock Froyo EC05
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
where exactly do i put it on the sd card?
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Is it even possible to pull the modem out of the .zip file?

[Epic 4G General] Apollo83:
I'm a bit confused.. whats the difference between CWM and Stock recovery.. (Volume down+camera+power).. thats how you would boot into CWM(purple, orange, etc...)
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
you can use this to return to stock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=rerfs

and just use the purple cwm to apply the update

make sure you rename it to Recovery.zip and place in the root of sd card
[Epic 4G General] atharchian:
Yes, it'll work.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
OK, so now how do we root this thing?
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
Will having root interfere with this update? I am fully stock otherwise (no custom kernels, roms, modems, etc).
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
dont have a root file on my sd
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Open root explorer, go to your sd card. Past you zip file there.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Well this isn't good...my device is bootlooping now.
[Epic 4G General] muaythai619:
Do we have to rename the zip file?
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
Yes...

Rename the download to "update.zip"
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
"Root directory" means nothing more than the top most area of your sd card... its not a folder.

just loose in the upper most area of your card
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
it would help if you go through the thread and read so you don't ask the same questions over and over. Just sayin.
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
If you downloaded the update file using your computer.

When you connect it using mass storage (USB cable) the directory it opens to is considered your "Root Directory"

Drop the file RENAMED, "update.zip" there..
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
got it! thank you very much. installing now :)

[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
The filename directly says... EC05 to EI22....

I would just Odin back and save yourself trouble...
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:

[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:

[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:

Ouch.

I have a feeling it didn't like the home screen replacement? No way to confirm that though. Well, I guess I've been meaning to wipe the system for a while....:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] muaythai619:
I did re name it update.zip and tried to update it but it failed probably because I didn't have it in the root of my sd card forgot to move it out of download but thank for the info bro

I started off with ec05 modem

Then went and installed the stock ec05 rom with cwm 2.5 or something like that.

I then rebooted into the green cwm

I instlled the ei22 update zip just like any rom

As son as it finished I flashed acs's cwm again

Once I rebooted into acs cwm I flashed su.zip so I can have it rooted.

[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
So I noticed when I flashed cwm over odin after running this update I let it do a full reboot then shutdown to go into recovery was back on stock. I had to go into the recovery before the 1st reboot to get cwm and flash the su.zip to get root. Not sure if this was just a fluke or not. I have not had a chance to check again since I'm restoring all my data.
[Epic 4G General] Paul627g:
Yes the update resets your recovery back to stock recovery...
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I tried flashing CWM through Odin after the update, and it still reboots into the stock recovery.
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
I think you misunderstood me after Odin'ing back to EC05 and then updating to EI22 I flashed CWM via ODIN and let ODIN do its full reboot then shutdown and try'd to boot into CWM but it was stock recovery. So far I stick with what I originally said you must go into CWM right after ODIN without allowing it to reboot just have your fingers ready to do the 3 finger command and flash su.zip or whatever you want to use.

exactly ;)
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I went to a repair store. The guy refreshed all my data settings and it works great now. I suggest the same. Bring a book.

[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Read page 1 of this thread, the "update.zip" method. Lined out, step by step there.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
thanks. I actually looked at that post the first time and somehow that it said clockwork mod was required. duh

also, will doing this wipe existing data? I kinda don't feel like having to reinstall everything again
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
download the zip file to the main directory on your SDCard and rename it update.zip. Shut off phone, the boot into recovery by holding down the Volume Down and Camera button as you hit the power button. From that menu, just scroll down to "install update" by using the volume rocker, then hit the home button. Should go through the installation, then when it's done scroll up to "reboot phone" with the volume rocker, hit home key.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
thank you...same question as above, though...will doing this wipe my data?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I don't believe so. I started from a fresh install so can't confirm, but usually updates like this won't affect your data.
[Epic 4G General] shalea:
OK I need some help here. I'm not new to rooting, but I believe that I did as the directions stated and am still having problems.

I was on EG22 and installed the file renaming it Recovery.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=rerfs) and it brought me back to EC05 (Build EC05)

rebooted the phone. then powered down, and rebooted into recovery installing update.zip. This is when i got an error that there was an error in the file. i tried using the original file (a5ff039a0c97.SPH-D700_update_EC05_to_EI22.zip) as well as renaming the file to update.zip

I even re-downloaded the file.

I noticed that I am still rooted and am able to get into CWMPurple.

I checked to update firmware and Update Android and got no prompts to update.

This is what my phone says thus far:

Firmware = 2.2.1

Baseband = s:d700-0.0.5S.EG22

Kernel = 2.6.32.9

Build = Froyo.EC05

Hardware = D700.0.5

Please help. :confused:

UPDATE: I figured it out.... see below.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Download file from OP

rename it to update.zip

upload it in to root directory of sd card

shut down phone

press and hold Vol.Down + Camera + Power it will boot you into recovery mode

select update.zip from menu (Volume buttons)

Press Home to select

Wait until installed and rebooted.

So this is a CWM flashable modem only update?
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I'll start off with a few tips:

1. Don't use message subjects/titles when posting. People on the app cannot see them, so the only thing they saw was the body of your message, which is what's quoted above me. Not like the subject of "Procedure did not worK for me" helps anything, but still.

2. In order to get help, we must know what you've already done. Simply asking what you're doing wrong could lead to a number of responses, most of them probably a lot harsher than this one.

3. Explain what you tried doing. What is your current setup? Are you 100% stock? If not, what ROM are you already running? What steps did you try and what was the result? What error messages are you seeing?

I did this but I received an error.. I renamed the file to update.zip and put it in my SD card. I plugged in my USB and clicked on Mass Storage and autoplay popped up and I clicked on Open Folder and it opened up whats inside the SD Card.

I cannot get the update to work. I have Stock EC05 that has a temp root on it.

I did these steps exactly as described below...

1. Rename to update.zip

2. Place on root directory of sdcard (directory that pops up when you mass storage your device to computer)

3. Boot into stock recovery (Vol Down+Camera+Power)

4. Select install update.zip

5. Boot into GB !

[Epic 4G General] romshark:
Need help doing this to a friends phone.

I rooted her phone before, and has Clockwork Mod. No custom roms were ever installed, nor any system apps removed. I tried installing this from CWM (couldn't find stock recovery, so I assume CWM completely replaced it) but it's failing to install (I think similarly to aweyrich's error message above).

So what's my best option? Do I have to reinstall stock recovery somehow, and can I do this without losing her data or anything? Even if she loses CWM, I do want to stay rooted for Titanium Backup, but if root has to go, I'll do it.
[Epic 4G General] pjnofrills:
Same here. I guess we're technically not in stock recovery though. I'm going to try not renaming it and just flashing the zip file later today.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Getting the same error as you. Even went to stock recovery and removed root. On stock froyo, ec05 modem and stock kernel. Can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I'll retry downloading file and try it again.
[Epic 4G General] fzammetti:
For everyone getting the "apply _patch_check" error, that appears to be the generic error you get if you've done anything to alter EC05... changed recovery, removed stock apps, maybe even just root, all appear to cause that error. Seems you have to be TRUE stock EC05 for this to work... I *think* this means you'll have to lose everything like I did, but you still can do everything from CWM as long as you download all the proper zips from the other thread. It might be possible to just "undo" whatever you did that's causing the error, but me, probably not worth the effort to try :)
[Epic 4G General] pjnofrills:
See, I was hoping that I could flash the update, then do the 3 finger salute after it reboots so I can reflash recovery and su. That's apparently what other people have been able to do.
[Epic 4G General] fzammetti:
Yep, that's what I was able to do... my procedure, starting from CWM 3.1.0.1 installed and EC05 (stock, but with modifications) was:

1. Boot to CWM, factory reset and wipe everything 3 times... because I'm anal :)

2. Flash back to EC05. Reboot to CWM (no wiping at this point).

3. Flash to EI22. NO reboot, stay in CWM, reflash CWM (not sure if this was necessary but from some reading it sounds like it was). Reboot to CWM.

4. Flash su.zip. Reboot system.

5. Profit (?!)

It's pretty much what's outlined in the other thread, minus some steps that weren't actually necessary in my case (I was still RFS, and the version of CWM doesn't actually seem to matter). Those are the steps it boiled down to for me.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Used the Samsung EB13 Epic Froyo Upgrade tool .exe (the Odin for dumbies method) to get on EB13 after it did a full wipe, checked Android updates and did OTA EC05. Then used stock recovery to upgrade to EI22 using the zip renamed to update.zip. Now going to root and restore all my apps and data (used both Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro).
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
Mine was failing because I had removed the sprint bloatware (which is lame...). The apply_patch_check generally mentions what is failing (in my case in was a missing Dlna.apk). I just went ahead and flashed back to stock and the update notification popped up when I rebooted. Taking forever to download though...
[Epic 4G General] TracerBullitt:
I know what I was "doing wrong"...

I'd followed everyone's instructions, and in recovery mode, tripped into an error.

I remembered reading the instruction on android central, that said, "Rename the file to update.zip. (Make sure you don't do update.zip.zip if you're on Windows.)"

That was my problem; I had cleared the file name and put in "update.zip" which translated to "update.zip.zip" since it already is a zip...

I'm (im)patiently staring at my "Galaxy S" screen now...

EDIT: Doing my Gingerbread dance now... :)

So yesterday I decided to make my own USB jig. I had spare USB cables and I purchased the necessary resistors.

The first USB cable connector was encased in ademantium and was impossible to take apart. The second USB cable was encased in a hard plastic that also was impossible to get into. I hacked up the third USB from an Evo and that ended up not being as bad.

I made the USB jig plugged it in and it didn't work. I don't know what went wrong. Has anyone had luck making one? I followed Zedomax's thread to a T and I'm not sure. Is there a special kind of solder to use? I used a thin solder with lead. I'm just going to buy a jig from eBay since I apparently suck at DIY.
