EDIT: see Firon's post on page 5 (#45) it will take care of any modifications you've made as long as you have a stock (odexed) ROM, it won't even mess up recovery or kernel!

EDIT2: Frion updated his file, now go to page 6 #53
[Epic 4G Android Development] daazncandyman:
I'm having the exact same problem, it was hanging there for like 30 minutes. After pulling the battery out, the progress bar is gets to about the same place and just sits there
[Epic 4G Android Development] TurboFool:
I'm sorry for you, but glad to hear I'm not alone. Heading to a Sprint store now. Hoping they can see me fast before my next appointment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scriz:
The top brightness slider is gone!!!! Woooohoooo!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
I still have it... they just fixed it so that it doesn't activate as easily when you're dragging the dock down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daazncandyman:
Unfortunately, I won't get off work until 6. Hopefully, this thing will install or else I'll be without a phone for a while.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I'm working on an update.zip that won't require you to revert all files and won't trash your recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drjonesok:
Applied the update through clockwork and it installed fine. Tested 3G speeds and both upload and download are faster. 1060Kb/s DL and 560Kb/s UL!

Thank you newkidd

Good ****, I'd love to restore my nandroid backup from yesterday and have di188888888888888888888888 FIRON! Reminds me of the dave chappelle making the band episode, *In a jamaican accent* "There are 5 great rappers in the world, Firon, Firon, Firon, Firon and Firon, BECAUSE I SPIT HOT FIYAH!!" It was Dilan in the episode tho. :/

(running completely stock)

downloaded the file provided on first post, put it on the SD root, renamed it to update.zip, used stock recovery mode (vol down+camera+power), and now i am updated!

FCC Speed Test:

.88 Mbps down

.72 Mbps up

Speedtest:

.90 Mbps down

.85 Mbps up

I also tested a "large file upload". Previously i selected several photos to "share" by Gmail and it stuttered/froze terribly. However i just tested it again with more photos than last time and i saw not 1 single sign of stutter on my phone!

thanks for the upload!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Monarky:
Worked Great Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I keep trying to update this through clockworkmod recovery and I keep getting an error on verifying the zip ... status 7 error code. Any ideas? I've downloaded it 2-3 times already. It's running stock kernel (and DI07 which I manually installed the update.zip for last time), but I'm rooted and CWM is installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
Worked flawlessly for me. I'm rooted (1-click) but no other modifications. I renamed it to update.zip and updated using stock method. Did not affect root. Thanks for posting.

My biggest issue with the Epic is the insane constant hunting it does for 3G (even though I'm in a strong signal area). None of the airplane mode/Network App/etc. options did anything for me. Following this update... time without signal: 53%. Oh well, maybe next update...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Here's a signed update that will not trash your recovery, kernel, or root. You do not need a stock kernel for this update.

It will restore only the required stock files/apps and update your modem, so as long as you're on DI07, it should successfully update.

I tested it already on my own phone, worked great.

This way you don't need to restore a bunch of random files to update.

[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
This will work directly w/ a non-stock kernel Firon?

Edit***

Nevermind read your post COMPLETELY -- Sorry, nice post Firon, hope it works!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Yes, it will work fine with non-stock kernel. In fact, I'm using Andromeda 1.3.4.

However, it will not work with deodexed ROMs. Sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
Will this handle the changes made by the I9000 MobileAP? If so I'll point people to this over my 'uninstall' since it's obviously optimal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Damn. Wish I had seen this before lol. Had to re-root/reflash kernel, and redo clockwork.

Ah well no big deal, but thanks. I will need this in the future I'm sure :P

Anyone know if its safe to reflash a deodexed rom after DI18?
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
Still getting the same issues as the original post --

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
It only handles some of them, so it might be a good idea to use the uninstall anyway. I should probably integrate all the other files MobileAP i9000 messes with so you don't end up in a weird state.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I kinda intentionally avoided mucking with build.prop, but I suppose it can't hurt to restore the stock DI07 version. I'll make a new version shortly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Okay, here's v2. This one removes all the MobileAP i9000 modifications + restores the stock build.prop. So just make sure you aren't on DG27 when running this. ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mama Luigi:
3G is really flying for me now. I don't know why I sometimes get such awful speeds on 3G, even download speeds... I've gotten as low as 82/10, earlier today!

But I just ran several tests and here's what I got, down/up:

723/196

805/154

1659/328

1057/493

1052/131

The upload cap is definitely gone now. Before the update, I still sometimes got good download speeds, but I never got good upload.
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
Okay so the laundry list of errors are gone. However,

E:Error in/sdcard/update.zip

Is the only one that comes in now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Now - where do we get the update to fix the slow 3g downloads :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dietrichmd:
ok, n00bish question here. How exactly do I load the update.zip file. I remember doing something a while ago where it was vol up, cam and pwr then i would be in update mode, but for some reason, thats not working on my phone now.

any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
vol down, cam and power.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
Copy the file to SD and name update.zip

Hold power volume down and camera to load recovery mode.

If the text is blue then use up/down to select "apply update.zip from sd" (or something similar) and hit the home button to select it and confirm.

If the text is green you have clockwork, look at what version and look up the keys to do that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
can anyone flash clockwork on the new upadte? doesnt seem to be working...
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
need to have clockworkmod installed or normal one will work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dietrichmd:
perfect. patching now. thanks guys :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] apfrost:
It's signed so you can rename it to update.zip and flash through the samsung recovery. No root required.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I made a small mistake in the updater-script. Sorry.

http://firon.net/xda/update-SPH-D700_DI07ToDI18_v3.signed.zip

Here's the fixed version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
I had to use the "Try-Last.bat" file which has ADB run it's own root exploit. If you see errors about operation not permitted that should fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] therealdc:
Completely stock

renamed file, put on card. Reboot phone, scrolled to apply update.

How do I apply the update?

sorry newb

Edit* It works for V3 must have uploaded it while I typed that lol

Third time's a charm! Should create an OP for this, as i'm sure I will not be the only person that will benefit from it. Thanks Firon again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
do we flash this with clockwork or standard recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
Push the home key.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
either, you must rename to update.zip for standard
[Epic 4G Android Development] therealdc:
worked, and thank you

[Epic 4G Android Development] wto605:
Might be the area you live in... you have better download that I do, but the update brought my upload from a max of 155 to a max of 699, and it has been faster than my download on every test.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
so i updated my OP, but if you do your own post im trashing this one
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
Yeah but fast download speeds mean nothing if I'm trying to send/upload anything -- Would much rather have medium DL and equal/greater up..

@ Firon - After updating, says my current build is Tha Boss Rom - MixUp Kernel -- I've never used/flashed Tha Boss rom, could this be info from your phone?

Bizarre. I've never use tha boss rom either, always been stock DI07 with andromeda kernel. I'll investigate and maybe post a v4 if I can figure it out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] freeskier428:
So I fail. Newb here, dl'd renamed to update and when I try to apply it's saying signiture verification failed. Any clue what i'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

It finds update.zip and tries to use it...just not liking the sig for some reason. Dont know where I went wrong.

sweet that worked

now to root haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
any release notes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
update with zip okay but DI18 still showing cap at about 150k... anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeonMonster:
Finally got this to work!

Was getting a E: Signature Verification error, but realized the file I downloaded was 26.7mb, and NOT 27mb.

Redownloaded, renamed to update.zip, went into Clockwork and flashed. Installed perfect without having to re-install anything! Testing now!

*EDIT*

Have tried testing the data, and while I get my normal amount of download around 500-900kbps, i'm still not getting over 150kbps upload! :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I'm still getting ~150 kbps upload as well, with download at around 500 kbps with 4 / 6 bars. I was using Firon's update though so I'm not sure how different that is than the original. I restored back to DI07 for now using my old nandroid backup, gonna see if I can just get the update OTA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
If your upload is still capped, then you need the DI18 kernel. I posted a new update.zip that flashes the DI18 kernel. You can apply it even if you already updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
I have tried to install the update by going into stock recovery and applying the update.zip

When doing so I get a E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7) installation aborted.

Am I suppose to be using clockworkmod? Sorry if these answers have been repeated as I just quick replied and I am a noob when it comes to android. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
You don't need clockwork to flash the update.zip in the op, only for my version. Make sure the file downloaded fully!
[Epic 4G Android Development] daniel2744:
thank you so much for this update!! i have gotten faster speeds
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Thanks, but still no luck.

I downloaded it 2 times saved it to root of SD card, renamed it update.zip go into stock recovery by holding voldown+camera+power scrolled down to update.zip and get the same error..

Am I doing something wrong? Also I've tried with debugging mode on and off, I remember it had to be on for last update I believe..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Install clockworkmod and try again then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
this took out my root and i tried all the methods but seems like they r not working
[Epic 4G Android Development] eptd:
I'm having the EXACT SAME problem as you. Please let me know if you find a way to install the update. If not, I guess I have to wait for the OTA. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Its not hard... you don't even need clockwork. Download the attached file in the original post, rename it to update, put it in the root of you sd card and reboot to recovery, flash the file and done. it took me 3 mins.... very easy to do
[Epic 4G Android Development] asenduk:
got the same error, tried a different sd card and it worked!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
Thank the update worked fine for me. **** waiting for sprints slow ass.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Lol I have done that about 3-4 times and it has gave me the same error, I know it is easy, I did the last update just fine, this one seems to not want to work..

I am going to try another SD card like the person above stated.

Thanks a lot!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Prince_Basil:
Okay, I have a stock Samsung Epic & I want this new update. Do I go to the very first post and download that one or do I download the one that Firon has posted. I'm really confused. My device is at DI07 or whatever update allowed Media Hub to work. Sorry, I'm a noob to Android. Used to have a Palm Pre. Haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eptd:
THANK YOU! I have been trying throughout the day. Tried my other sd card and it worked on the first try!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Wow, I must have bad luck. Just tried another SD card and still getting the same error, I even unrooted to see if that was the problem.

However I did try to install clockworkmod recovery but didnt think I installed it right, how do you tell if you have stock or clockwork?

This is really starting to bother me, I really thought the SD card would do it since you guys were having good luck and still nothing...

BTW ever since I did last update, I now can not update firmware, profile, and prl. I get an error message everytime..
[Epic 4G Android Development] eptd:
Did you try a new sd card or one with no data on it? I used theone that came with the epic for the first time to do this update. I was previously using the one that came with my evo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
ummm all it had was pictures and music on it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] asenduk:
my ex evo card class 4 never works... i always had to go back to the original epic class 2 card
[Epic 4G Android Development] eptd:
Just trying to help dude. My other card only had pics music and videos. I deleted everything else. The update didn't work with that sd card. Tried a brand new one and it worked. Don't know what else to say.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Lol, sorry if you thought i was being rude when I typed "ummm" i was just thinking not being cocky. I appreciate everybody's help, seems that I am just stuck and might have to wait for the OTA (if that happens) I think I may have to restore my phone back to default, I cant even update any prl,profile,firmware or anything and even the "update android" look's different from another post I have seen.

I have not installed any rom's, I only did the one click root. I tried to install clockwork but that too has failed.. Either I am doing something wrong or my phone is just plain out stubborn..
[Epic 4G Android Development] asenduk:
do a quick format on the card and try again.. see if that works
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I posted a full stock DI18 deodexed ROM, if anyone wants to go that route.

Okay, So now I think I am really screwed. So I have tried to install clockworkmod recovery for the longest time and realized I havent had the latest root installed.. I uninstalled root with noob's uninstaller, installed the latest root, installed clockworkmod recovery successfully (FINALLY!).

I boot into clockworkmod recovery by holding voldown+camer+power and go to update.zip........... Nothing happens screen is blank.. Let it sit a couple of minutes, still nothing.. Took battery out, put it back in & powered on phone now I am stuck into clockworkmod recovery.. I tried every option there was and it wont do nothing but blank screen, if I press the back button it will take me back to clockworkmod recovery...

SO I think I should not be trying to do anything with this phone hence the fact I am an extreme noob when it comes to android... Please help as I am stuck.

Guess this is what I get for not being paitent.

Press the camera button to hit 'enter', not back or menu.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this file with us. This appears to have fixed my biggest issues with the phone. Battery life seems to be a little better for me but I won't know for sure until tomorrow.

Thanks man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:
I was able to update to DI18 just by downloading the file changing the name to update.zip then pressing all three side bottoms on the epic then following the menu. How would I know for sure that I do the update right? Not sure what all this clockworks talk is about (I’m a newbie) My upload speeds are still low.

What is the best site to test upload speeds anyways?
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:
i went from di07 to di18 without doing the simple fix thing on OP so whats wrong with it?

is this rootable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
If you are stock just use the normal uodate zip.......not Firon's.....rename file to update.zip and place on card....then boot into Samsung recovery and flash update zip.....takes about 2 minutes......

Stock is blue....

CW is green

Look in settings/about phone....you should see DI18 in baseband version and a few other places in there.........also speedtest from market works well to test........
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Updated on completely stock phone, works fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vnitto:
Thanks for posting this zip file for the update.

I finally figured out all the steps (new to android)

1) Downloaded the samsung usb drivers

2) connected the phone to computer with USB cable

3) Installed the samsung drivers

4) Mounted the phone using the updates bar -> USB -> send files to/from -> mount

5) dragged & dropped the update file to the phone's SD card main directory

6) Renamed the file to update

7) unplugged phone

8) shut off phone

9) Held down camera and down-volume buttons while I restarted the phone

10) navigated to update by using the "down volume" button

11) Confirmed by pressing home or return button (I forget which)

12) Waited about 2 minutes.... voila.

13) It took a minute longer to do it's cold start-up but don't worry, it will start.

14) After all that the upload speeds are still poor over 3G

The next update will take a lot less time, now that I know how to do it. It's very simple, I just wanted to outline a complete step by step for noobs. Feel Free to edit this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:
Thanks for the steps. Those are the steps I took too and my upload speed are also poor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
You may have to download firon di18 kernel instead to improve upload
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
That's quite a lot of steps, I certainly don't remember downloading any samsung usb drivers since Ive had the phone and I installed the update by just putting the update.zip on my phone (sd card) and entering recovery mode and etc.

Whats the definition of poor? <170 is poor considering the phone couldn't really do more than that previously. >170 is an improvement.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lauranrenae:
I'm new to the Epic, but not android and I got the error when I tried doing it too. How is your file named? Mine was "update.zip" during the error messages, then I renamed it to "update" and it worked fine. Might try that, it's worth a shot. I used Samsung's recovery.

Edit: Nevermind, see you got it to work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
update applied on stock rom with rooted kernel manually from this thread, was a quick install, titanium gets root permissions without issue so root remains intact, speed test app showing 320-480kbps on upload now as opposed to throttling itself down to 150. So far no issues, very pleased as this upload bug upset me greatly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kaarukun:
Thanks for the update file! it worked perfectly! My up speed are now breaking 500 kbps!

If you dont have a computer handy:

i personally downloaded the zip file onto my epic

renamed the file with astro

reinstalled the stock system apps that i removed with sdx app mgr

then did update through bootloader.

Posted from my epic.
