Updated from DG17 to Froyo (in a few steps)!

Thanks to everyone who posted here. Those who are stuck on DG17 shouldnt fret about updating. I followed the directions here but went to DI18 when I flashed.

I wanted to share some issues I had though in case it helps out others:

When I tried to use ODIN (Odin3 V1.3, with no debug En checkbox), I got a message that said

<ID:0/008> Complete(Write) operation failed.<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I was trying to flash without my SD card in, as some people got it to work this way. Maybe that was the issue, I dont know. So what I did was to NOT exit Odin. I pulled out the USB, pulled the battery on my phone (which I read elsewhere would not hurt it), put in the sd card, put the phone into download mode again, plugged in the USB, saw ODIN recognized the phone, then pressed start again. Phone flashed perfectly.

Once I got to DI18, I downloaded the update.zip for froyo and did the recovery mode install.

Now have gone from a completely stuck/non-upgradable Epic to the absolute latest version even before many normal users got the OTA update!

So, if you are fretting about doing this, don't. Read the thread completely and follow all of the directions.

Thanks all for the help

Landscape Mode Glitch!

Can anybody tell me how to fix my landscape mode? Ever since flashing back from the Froyo DK28 leak my landscape messes up when i open the keyboard. It goes to landscape mode but when I close it it stay in landscape mode. When on TouchWiz it's fine it's only on my Launcher Pro screen it does this. It will work fine if I disable auto rotate from the settings or the launcher pro setting.. :(

[Epic 4G Android Development] motox450r:
I recently put the dk28 software version on my epic, first I just installed it without wiping any of my data, then my market would not work, so I did a reset on the phone and I have only had 2 very minor issues. One I am missing two apps from the market, one is the official paypal app and the paid redbox application. The other minor issue is if I use the factory froyo browser and I double click too zoom and the navigate around the browser becomes distorted, but if I pinch to zoom out springs perfect, the browser doesn't bug me as much since I use dolphin browser. Any input on the applications deal with be nice, thanks

I installed 2.2 a week ago. Tried to flash without wiping tonight using the above instructions twice. Both failed. Now, I'm trying it with (SPH-D700-****-8Gb-REL.tar) It keeps hanging up on factoryfs.rfs. Is there anything else I can do?

[Epic 4G Android Development] robbie725:
Ok... recent new Epic Owner actually switched from T-Mobile to Sprint and got 3 Epics... anyway I updated to the leaked beta Froyo and would like to go back so that I can receive the OTA... in the OP it states "if you changed your kernal"... does the update change the kernal?

Right now this is what about phone states...

Firmware 2.2.1

Baseband s:d700.0.2s.dk28

Kernal 2.6.32.9

Build FROYO.dk28

Hardware D700.0.5

So do I only need to grab the the 2nd file(stock files) and the pit file... or do I need to grab the stock kernal file as well...

Kinda of a Noobish question I know but I have flashed my G1's 100's of times.... this, other then doing the leaked update, will be my second attempt at anything on my Epic... thanks for the understanding!

Peace

Robbie
[Epic 4G Android Development] timothylaws:
If you're on a Epic that's been updated to DK28 and is working then yes, the leaked update put you on the DK28 kernel. That means you can't receive the OTA update.

If you want the OTA I suggest the following:

*Assuming that you want to return to the current official build used by sprint which is at this moment DI18*

*Assuming your phone can power up at all (if it doesn't there's a trick you can try for that mentioned elsewhere in the forums)*

*Only use main/direct-to-motherboard USB slot on PC (not on the face of your PC)*

*Only use high quality USB cable shorter than 3' and not the stock cable*

*Make sure SAMSUNG USB drivers are Installed*

*Make sure your battery is more than 50% charged*

1. SD Card is REMOVED, USB is UNPLUGGED and Battery is REMOVED from phone

2. While Phone is UNPLUGGED from USB, place battery in phone

3. Press and Hold the "1" key and Power button together to reach Download Mode

*KEEP USB UNPLUGGED FROM PHONE and phone in Download Mode*

4. Extract and Run Odin3.exe (Ignore the .pit file included in Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip)

*Leave the "PIT" selection empty*

5. In Odin Uncheck "F. Reset Time", make sure "Auto Reboot" is the only box checked

6. In Odin click PDA and select your .Md5 file (SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5)

7. Plug USB in PHONE and wait for yellow COM box highlight to appear in Odin

8. In Odin Press Start and WAIT patiently

[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
ive done just about everything from this thread, or at least i think i have. let me first say i am a noob so thee simplest form of an explanation is very very much appreciated =)

odin is obviously not "seeing" my phone. am i missing a step? once the phone is in download mode and i plug it into the computer and then open up odinc, at that point should it say com4? or whatever number? if so then its not "seeing" my phone, or is there a step im missing after i open up odin and the phone is plugged in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
i cannot get SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 to download because rapid share wont do anything right unless i upgrade my membership to the "premium" membership -_-
[Epic 4G Android Development] timothylaws:
the link to SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 should be a multiupload.com link if I'm not mistaken. If you're having problems with rapidshare then perhaps try one of the other options?

I would give you a direct link but I'm not allowed to post outside links as a new member.

As to your PC not recognizing the phone.. I read that most people find this can be fixed by:

Re-installing the appropriate samsung USB drivers for your PC

Starting Odin before plugging the USB into your phone

trying several different USB cables

trying several different USB ports on the PC your using. (preferably the ones in

the back of the tower)

try using a different OS (and different PC if you got one) when running Odin (Some users have noted problems with windows 7)

What happens if I follow the instructions and download Odin and run it and boot my phone in download mode but when I connect my phone the Odin never puts a COM4 or any number in the first box?

I've tried redownloading the Odin and extracting again and that didn't work. I've tried restarting my computer and that didn't work. I've downloaded the Samsung drivers for my phone again and that didn't work. I've tried connecting my phone with the battery in and with the battery out and that didn't work, I've also tried pulling out the SD Card and that didn't work. I'm at a lose. Is there another solution?

I can say this, after installing the leaked 2.2 froyo on my phone it wouldn't mount once connecting it to a computer until I went to settings > applications > Running services and then plugged my phone in to the computer using the USB cable then it would mount. Would this have anything to do with it not recognizing my phone when I put it in download mode and run Odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
now im not a pro at all of this but this is EXACTLY what happened with mine! come to find out it was the usb cord i was using and it was also the usb PORT i was using. try switching up! i found that the usb cable that came with my epic is not the one to use so i ended up using the shorter fatter cord that came with my motorola backflip. hope this helps

[Epic 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
i can't believe there's no flashable zip files for this phone yet. would make this a ton easier. guess since i can't get this to work that i'll have to take it into sprint and see if they can re-flash it to stock.

i moved a gtalk apk and now my phone won't dl from market or do anything google related because of that and i couldn't get the file to move back. like a retard i tried returning to stock which just removed everything that i could use to try and put the file back. so, basically i have a brick. and this method isn't working for me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] kelmar13:
So, how long is this process supposed to take (more or less)?

A: 5-10 minutes.

Download decided it wanted to corrupt itself, but fresh DL solved it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
If it takes more than 5-10 minutes, then the process most likely failed, especially if it hangs at File Analysis for more than 30 seconds or so. You'll need to start over if that happens.

I had the exact same problem.

Flashing to SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar failed, but flashing to SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar worked!

Nice fresh bloated Android install!
[Epic 4G Android Development] swooby:
FYI, after odin failed to flash SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar, I rebooted in to normal mode and got an image indicating a Cell Phone icon with a dotted line to a PC icon and an Exclamation Mark icon over the dotted line.

That had me pretty scared, but I could reboot to download mode fine.

After a few tried of using odin 1.3 I gave up using SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar and used SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar instead.

And in case any newbie like me was wondering, the removable SD card was untouched and still had all my items on it.
