Ok, got the OTA update notification, tried to update and it failed. I had rooted using sfhub's awesome auto-root method, but forgot that I also put CWM recovery on it that was packaged with EG30. I'm guessing that's why the OTA update failed?

Anyway, still on stock ROM with 2.3.4 rooted with EG30 + CWM. Everything is stock except for CWM and being rooted. I'm not getting the OTA update notification; how do I get it back? Do I just have to wait until it's completely rolled out then check for updates? Also, I'm assuming I have to go back to stock EG30 without CWM in order to do the OTA; sound about right? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Why not just download the rooted update.zip?

Worked fine for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
That is the most likely reason it failed. With CWM, even though you are still running the "stock" EG30 linux kernel, the initramfs that was packed with that kernel changed, so it will fail the integrity check that the OTA update performs.

Other reasons might be if you changed or removed files in /system.

If all you did was root (Option A) then the update would have gone through. However if you install EG30+CWM, you need to run Option C and put EG30 back before running the OTA update.

I don't think it'll ask you again. The file it downloaded is in /cache somewhere.

I think the simplest way to run the OTA update would be:

1) Boot into recovery, perform nandroid backup

2) Run Option C and install EG30

3) manually download the OTA update file from [here]

4) rename to update.zip and place on your /sdcard

5) boot into recovery and install update.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I am on stock, the only thing I did was to root using Odin, but didn't do CWM.

Android ver = 2.3.4

Baseband S:D710.10S.EG30

Kernel = 2.6.35.7-shp-d710.eg30-cl435734

build = gingerbread.eg30

Can I use the rooted one to update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wotan2525:
Is this new? Since the OTA update this morning (I was completely stock) I now have a blue "mist" that appears at the top and bottom of the screen when I get to the end of where I can scroll/swipe? I've never seen this before!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
Yep it is new with EK02 android 2.3.6

Check out my review video in the OP and I go over some of the changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you didn't modify or delete any files in /system you can use the pre-rooted OTA update. It doesn't care if your Kernel is modified.

Pre-Rooted EK02 OTA (patch EG30->EK02) [CWM] - (thx kingsway8605/chris41g)

If that doesn't work because of some assert failure, either fix the problem it complains about or try one the "full" EK02 updates then manually flash the EK02 modem

EK02 Kernel/ROM/no modem (full update) [ODIN] [CWM] - (thx kingsway8605/calkulin/chris41g)

EK02 modem (patch EG30->EK02) [CWM] - (thx kingsway8605/viperboy)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I had to put it on my external sd card for it to be seen. Selecting the file and hitting home I get the Triangle with a ! and the android guy, and nothing happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sorry I missed the part about you not installing CWM. All the "modified" updates I listed require CWM.

You have two choices:

1) install a kernel repacked with CWM

I suggest the following: chris41g's stock [EG30 repacked with CWM5]

then follow the directions above

or

2) install stock EG30 kernel, then run the Sprint Official OTA update

Sprint OTA [stock recovery]

Rename to update.zip and place on your phone's sdcard, then boot to recovery and install update.zip

IMO #1 is easier.

You can install both EG30 and EG30+CWM using the Auto Root sticky:

[ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Tried to do this but the download site is down so I tried 2.

Tried this and it gave an errror about a bad package in the /tmp
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sorry I should have been more clear. You don't actually have to download from chris41g's link.

The Auto Root link I gave you has all the stock kernels and stock kernels+CWM. Just download that one e4gtauto.zip package, unzip to c:, run RUNFIRST.bat, and Choose Option C
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tunawithcheeze:
From what I've been reading in this thread, copying the "update.zip" (non-rooted version) to your internal storage (not external SD card) and manually updating it doesn't work. It needs to be copied to an external SD card.

Am I understanding this correctly? I can't try the external SD card route because I don't have one or own one.

Thanks!

:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The Sprint Official EK02 OTA update requires being run in stock recovery. Stock recovery only recognizes the external SD.

However the rooted EK02 OTA update is meant to run in CWM and there are versions of CWM which recognized internal and external.

Also you can use CWM to flash the "full" EK02 kernel/ROM updates that people here put together, then flash the EG30->EK02 modem patch through CWM.

You can also use ODIN to flash some of the above.

Basically without the external SD, you still have options, just not with the Sprint Official EK02 OTA.

As an aside, I'm sure you could borrow a microsd from someone. The small ones are usually laying around peoples' houses collecting dust. The OTA update is only 50MB, so a lowly 256MB microsd would be good enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tunawithcheeze:
Can I use Odin to upgrade my EG30 to EK02 (using the bin file) and then upgrade my rom to 2.3.6? You'd be surprised how useless some of my tech friends are when it comes to finding old parts :-)

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
No, there is no EK02 tar so you can't use odin to update to EK02....

If you're on EG30, use the EK02 modem zip file to flash through CWM to update to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tunawithcheeze:
My problem is I don't have CWM installed. I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4. I don't mess with my phone too much so I don't know what's the best way to get EK02 (and 2.3.6???) None of the videos or howto's seem to cover my issue.

Follow my video in the OP to install acsrecovery5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tunawithcheeze:
Your video for ACSRecovery worked great. I tried ...

... with ACSRecovery. Both the stock and rooted rom and both failed . Because I have ACSRecovery, now does that mean I have CWM and should following the CWM upgrade method (and rom) for upgrading?

I'm sorry that I'm having to break this down into small pieces. I don't understand all of the pieces involved here and need to ask for my own clarification.

Thanks for your patience and help!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
Yes, just follow the video on installing with clockworkmod and you'll be on stock rooted ek02 :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waltcoleman:
Frustrated, so any help would be appreciated. I'm running the stock EG30, rooted using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

I received the OTA notice of the EK02 update, but when I went to install it, the install failed with the triangle w/ yellow exclamation point.

I then downloaded the stock EK02 ROM, renamed to update.zip, copied to my internal storage. Booted into recovery, but couldn't find the update.

I then moved update.zip to my external SD card, booted into recovery, navigated to the update, but as it starts to install, I get the triangle w/ yellow exclamation point.

I then re-ran the root utility to unroot my phone, then once again booted into recovery and tried to install update.zip. Once again, the triangle w/ yellow exclamation point.

So I'm basically unable to install the stock EK02 onto a stock install of EG30. Any ideas what I can do to get EK02 installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Could you point to what "stock" EK02 ROM you are using? Some updates are meant to be running in stock recovery and others are meant to be run in CWM. Also could you confirm whether you are running EG30 or EG30+CWM for your recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waltcoleman:
Thanks for the reply. This is the stock EK02 I'm trying to install:

http://chris41g.devphone.org/EpicTouch/Stock Roms/182a027d4f63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip

Also, I'm running just EG30...didn't install the CWM.

Thinking overnight about it, I'm wondering if the fact that I deleted some stock apps (Sprint Music, Nova, etc) using Titanium Backup may have modified things to a point where the Stock ROM doesn't see all the files it's looking for and the install fails. Does that make sense?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
The update zip won't work if you have stock apps removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waltcoleman:
Nice they try to force you to keep their bloat :mad: .

OK, so what if I install EG30 with CWM, can I then install this EK02?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367971

If not, is there a EK02 stock rom that will work with CWM? Or am I out of luck with any stock EK02 because I got rid of the crap apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
As qbking77 mentioned, removing the stock apps would cause the OTA update to fail.

If you instead "freeze" the app or use "pm disable" then the app will not run (but will still take up space). Doing things that way, will allow the OTA updates to work.

In this particular case, I don't think it is as you suspect that Sprint wants you to keep the bloat. It is an artifact of the OTA update process where they send just the "patches" to existing software instead of the full versions. This saves 5-10x the space and download time, but requires the existing software be exactly as expected. If the OTA update was a full update instead of a patch, you would be downloading 400-500MB instead of 50MB over the network and using up space on your phone.

If you had received an OTA update with a full ROM, it wouldn't care what you had installed before, it would just blast right over it. I've seen full OTA updates before on other platforms and it does do just that, though it is rare to see full updates as the ROM sizes get larger and larger.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Yes, that would work in your case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waltcoleman:
Makes sense, though I can't imagine off hand what patches would be related to the apps I removed, it certainly can't be discounted. I appreciate the feedback!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Death Roe:
Great vids, QB. But I'm having trouble after downloading the modem zip. I can't figure out where to properly extract it. I guess you need to make a video showing how to install it with us users that have the EG30 Modem and I can go from there. WinRAR isn't extracting it into one big file for me, properly, so I can't find it on my zip card at all.

I cracked my screen when I drop my phone, so I just brought a digitizer and replaced it. The phone works fine with the new digitizer, but now the screen is dim and greenish. I already turn the screen brightness to maximum, but it's only 25% of the original brightness. When I look at the pixel closely, it seem like I lose half of the pixels.

Anyone has similar situation?

i checked all the cables, and they are connected (unless i damaged them during the process). I even tried disconnecting them and reconnect again, but still no change.

the white actually appear to be white, but the black is dark green.
[HTC Sensation] celelivada:
it depends now waht does "dark green" meen to you. LCD screens dont have a true black, but a purple, green (or whatever color) shade over the black. I think it is due to the digitizer, it is not the same quality and it isnt as transparent as the stock one. Images (not screen shots, but real photos) of the screen can help.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fghxu:
I got the Galaxy tab 10.1, but I don't see a Google TV applicaton which plays video contents on Android Market.

I am little confused. will there exist an application to play Google TV content? or We need to buy a Google TV device?

Since I already have the galaxy tab (the hardware), it has android as the OS, it should be more powerful than any Google TV devices (Sony, Logitech Google TV devices), why there still don't have an application to play Google TV on my Tab. Just like the NetFlix app to play Netflix on my tablet.

I heard the Google TV content is free, isn't it?

Will it possible a Google TV app available to my tablet in the future? So I can decide if I need to buy a Google TV device?

Can someone educate me?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I have the Sony Google TV device. There's no such thing as a "Google TV app." It's a totally different UI that interfaces with your cable box which it uses as a source of content. It's big advantage is that it allows you to search for content that exists both on cable TV and the Internet at the same time. For example, if you're looking for a specific movie or show it'll search your cable provider, Netflix, and Amazon, and participating networks (there aren't many, they're boycotting Google TV) and display all the choices at the same time. All the apps and content that exist on the TV version of Honeycomb are available in some form on phones and tablets. And any content available for free isn't coming from Google, it's coming from the content providers so if it's free on TV it's free on your phone or Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fghxu:
Expecting Google TV apps being developed for Tablet PCs

Thanks Barry!

Now I understand a bit more about the Google TV. I looked at the Sony blue-ray player (featuring Google TV) and found out it does not need a cable TV input. This means all the video content it searches/plays are from the internet/local USB devices.

This is very similar to my Samsung D8000 smart TV which is internet connected and has the search function built-in (it can find and play movies/videos from YouTube, Netflix,Hulu etc) except is is not Google TV "certified".

I think in theory, the Google TV (content) does not require a extra hardware (like Sony or Logitech players) if you already have a tablet that connects to the Internet. Tablets can play the Google TV content as long as they have an application which can search and plays videos. So, I believe it is just a matter of time for applications be developed for existing tablets (android OS or iPad).

Please correct me if my hypothesis is wrong.

Thanks for your answers!

Ive not opened up a htc hd7 yet but usually the physical camera circuits are hardwired to the main phones board so swapping it out isn't an option. replacing the buttons or even the lens might be possible.

this place has an picture of a part they claim is the camera module for an hd7

I'm assuming the phone wont take any photos or initialize the camera from neither the hardware buttons or from any software app on your handset.

and also HTC will give warranty repair for 1 year from the Manufactured date or point of purchase you do not need to necessarily be the original owner. Id give them a call and confirm that it isnt covered before going the open it myself route.

Yes, you will have to re-flash recovery. If you have the update.zip on your SD card already (like ransz28 mentioned above) then just boot into stock recovery and (using the volumes to navigate and the power button to select) click on 'Reinstall Packages'. It will cycle a bit and you will see that yellow text again then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again. You are now in CWR. Now you can flash your new ROM
