latest wifi tether 2.06 working stock dk28

sph-d700-dk28-8g-rel.tar.md5 - name of froyo flash im running.

for me, it seems that when i rerooted, it didnt root correctly using the 1 click 2.55 and since i couldnt delete a few stock pieces of bloatware. i rerooted to be able to delete them and from there i thought to test the wifi teather i lost this morning upon upgrading to froyo. what i found is it indeed works. the catch is once you try to enable encryption so you can control access to the hotspot, it becomes screwed to epic proportions. once it does that, the only way to get it back is to uninstall the app, remove all of its data and reinstall. ive tested this in the last 30 minutes and im posting from my laptop wifi tethered into my epic now. i rebooted the phone then reconnected via wifitether to be sure it wouldnt dissappear. my phone doesnt even register the wifi radio as being on, but im still connected to it by wifi. its weird but it seems to be a glitch in sprints block for the wifi tether. hope this helps someone, for now i know i shall enjoy now if someone can code a 1.3ghz overclock kernel, ill have everything back that i lost moving from eclair

I just updated to 2.2 froyo!!

Thanks for the tutorial
[Epic 4G Android Development] liranbar:
It works great except id doesn't USB connect to PC

Is there a special driver I need to download for Windows to connect it through USB and ready the card data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You need the samsung drivers yes

If I have a custom kernel will I have problems doing the update zip method?

Awsome

Wow love it!! Did the odin update and had install it twice for it to go thru but it works awsome :) thanks to everyone for the help. I know have froyo 2.2 on my epic :) i love xda.:o
[Epic 4G Android Development] vizionforever:
I had to rename D28 265gb file in first post to .tar not .tar.md5

For some reason even though ODIN 1.7 will flash D118 stock named .tar.md5 it would not flash d28 without me renaming it... I kept coming up with a bad md 5 checksum... so I remembered some other post where you could rename it to .tar and BAM! PASS! Just rename it to .tar (at the end take off .md5, so it is just .tar at end) I had re-part checked, auto reboot and f reset time also checked, GL:cool:

Instructions updating from froyo 2.1 to 2.1

Hi, I am just wanting to confirm before I do this if these instructions at the top is all I need to make this happen? Do I need to do anything else to my epic before this update. I was thinking it would be difficult but it seems too easy compared to what i've seen on other threads. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lady1178:
Yes it worked!

I have another question, please disregard my first question. Now that I have installed the update with no problems, your instructions stated that it will break my root. Do I have to reroot it now? What happens if I don't? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Z a p i x:
@lady1178 Yeah, once you update to DK28 you are no longer rooted, and will have to reroot if you so desire.

Personally, I think being rooted is a must. Alot to gain, nothing to lose. Various apps require having root. Such as backup apps like Titanium Backup or MyBackup. AdFree and SetCPU, are also apps that require being rooted. Also require being rooted if you want to remove Sprint apps like the Sprint Football, NASCAR and other waste of space apps.

-------------------

been using DK28 now for about a week using the update.zip.

Second time using it actually. First time I ran into problems back in December and just went back to DI18 believing the rumors that Sprint would actually release a real OTA update... I now have no faith in such lies.

Anyway, second time around I forgot to get a lock on GPS first! Doh! used GPS STATUS from the market to correct the issue. Perfect fix. Not having bizzare ringtone issues (some sounds and ringtones were causing force closures and apps to break) or strange issues with answering the phone and can't hear the person who called (but they could hear me). Only issues I have are the known fact bluetooth voice dialing doesn't work, and battery life is horrible in comparison to DI18. Otherwise it's perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] markppc6700:
any way i can revert back to DK18 using and update.zip file and if so where can i find it, my head is spinning. i dont have my cable here at work so i can use odin and i have about 6hrs to kill..

anyways i am on the leaked version and i am reading that i have to go back 18..

pls help
[Epic 4G Android Development] saminbama:
I've tried Samsung drivers from two different sources. Windows gives me an error like "there is something wrong with your device".

Haven't been able to connect via Odin. Why can't I drag and drop the zip file to the phone like I did with dk28? Computer has no problem seeing phone as drive when phone powered up normally.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Reeseybaby:
I know I'm late with this upgrade I always wantedd to update it but never wanted to take the chance on losin my Mobile AP. But I see its another wifi app that has infrastructure mode on the 2.2 version. Now my phone is rooted I tried a OTA but assuming because its rooted it failed. And the links on thus page to upgrade to 2.2 is no longer available do anybody esle have a valid link to upgrade from this 2.1 version to andriod 2.2. Much appreciated to anybody that have anew link so I can flash/upgrade from this version to andriod 2.2 thanks guys for all willing to help

[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
I'm impressed that you were able to search all the way back to find this thread and not find a way to do that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] windyhawk:
lmao. But i think he is probably overwhelmed by the multiple rom threads and doesn't know which one is froyo and where to start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] windyhawk:
There should be multiple threads with the title starting with [ROM], find any [ROM] with EC05 (which is official Froyo modem/baseband version) and follow the instruction in the thread. ROM file ending with .zip can be flashed in CWM built in your phone if you have it already while ROM file ending with .tar should be flashed into your phone using ODIN software from you computer.

hope it helps!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Reeseybaby:
I'm familiar a little bit with the ROMS and seen several of them. But don't really know to much where to start the way how I found this thread is from google. I just want tl upgrade to 2.2 and seen it on this thread but the link is deleted. Is there any other thread that anybody can show me that have a valid link on how to upgrade to official 2.2. The .tar I a new thing to me btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
(download) use Odin to flash this. This the stock official ec05 froyo.tar. make sure u put the tar file under PDA and only auto reboot should be checked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] windyhawk:
Click the link below to download ODIN software and also familiarize yourself with the procedure how to use it

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SPH-D700-ODIN

go to the download link provided in post #379 by Esteway.619 to get the stock froyo 2.2 ROM tar file.

And then use ODIN to flash the ROM file into your phone. You can check this video how to ODIN a ROM.

I think you probably have to be unrooted, but I could be wrong.

I have a new, stock Epic. I'm ready to upgrade this doing the Recovery mode method - do I need to do some sort of backup or will the OTA mode preserve my apps and data? TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] Frydim81:
I'm new to this sort of stuff, seems pretty simple following the instructions, but I seem to be having some trouble.

The little yellow line in recovery mode get about 1/4 done the stops, a whole bunch of yellow writing comes up and under it some red writing comes up saying "E: error in /sdcard/update.zip

Install aborted.

I've gone and re downloaded it a few times, and it keeps doing the same thing.

Now I'm just totally confused. Should I just wait until Sprint pushes it out?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
same here.. i m getting installation aborted also.. due to signature failed/verifiaction failed

The size seems fine (92,163 KB) .. so what else could be the reason and how did others successfully flash it?

Also I am on DI18

[Epic 4G Android Development] dalex7777:
I still need this guide. My Epic got "stuck" on DK28 leak since 2.2.1 broke all one-click roots and was I was trying to avoid going the Samsung route of using Kies or ODIN as I was unfamiliar with the tools.

At the time I had only rooted a couple of HTC devices. Now having done several more, I'm getting more comfortable with these.

I would a mod could archive without deleting this thread as I suspect there may be a lot of Epics stuck on DK28.
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
They don't delete it they just lock.it down so nobody can add a post and bump it to the top of the page like were doing right now lol

thanks a million to BOTH of you. I am successfully on 2.2 It helped me a lot & I want to address this to some of the users that been on here "long enough to understand how to do 2.2" listen there is no need to talk about locking, deleting, or modifying this thread because people like myself and other users that is just catching on to this & that been stuck on 2.1 (rooted) so have some consideration & respect for us fellow members & stop being such jerks guys seriously. I like this forum because I've been helped a few times & this is a very reliable forum. "BUT" you guys that dont have no consideration for your fellow members "us" yall need to stop being reluctant to help & (at least at the minimum) participate in helping other members out instead of being jerks, jacka$$ about what people post thats NOT offending you or other members. excuse my language to the mods in this forum but some of these members need some self descipline,respect towards others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Sometimes some of us regulars forget that there are probably plenty of people that aren't as current as we are. When we see a DK28 thread get bumped, we figure its someone trolling. Glad you got the info you needed. Now you can explore all of the really good treats to put on your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Reeseybaby:
thanks john much appreciated bro. Right now I am currently looking for a app that allows infrastructure mode "wifi tether" exactly like Mobile AP i been googling it but havent had any good leads. Usually most good or best leads Ill find is within this forum & i dont even know how I still cant find none.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well the closest right now would be Wifi Tether 3 pre 14. Just google "WifiTether" and you will see it.EDIT...oops..should be option with "download" tab. Now, once you download and install it, go into settings and select Epic for phone type then select Softap in the second option bar. If you have 4G service, you have to turn it off then activate the Tether. Once its up and running, you can turn back on 4g and you will be good to go. There is a newer version but I haven't tested it yet. 3 pre 14 works great. I have used it a lot! If you have any questions, PM me because my instructions are a little rushed. If you can't find it and nobody posts a link, you can PM me your e-mail and I will send it to you...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Reeseybaby:
Thanks I already know about this app and did it o many times but it only supports ad hoc mode not infastructure mode (which is what mobile ap did) ugh I would hate to revert bck to 2.1 just to get that app because it has inrastructure mode on it if you or any of the fellow members have new leads to a tetheing app that gives out infrastructuremode instead of ad hoc please do let me know or even send me a message

I figured out the problem. When I had my phone on and went to my files it showed the file as being named update.zip.zip. I turned the phone back off and renamed the file "update" and it worked.

Thanks, but what I really want to know is if the MobileAP would hinder the update process.

Also, does MobileAP continue to work if the update completes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sauron0101:
W00t! I suppose that given that Samsung promised in November, 1 month late is better than next year. I do believe that we are the first of the US carriers and many of the global editions to get Froyo too - I feared we'd be among the last becuase of the differences between this phone and the global edition!

I can't wait to see what custom ROMs will be cooked up by the devs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] D3luSi0n4L:
Just do this...

Make sure Debugging is enabled ( Options -> apps -> Development or something like that )

Connect to your PC.

You will get a notification on your phone that will say its connected to your pc, tab that notification and it will ask to mount, select yes.

On your computer a folder will open, say "View files in folder" or w.e and right there copy it in there. If theres somethign that already says "update" and its a zip, just delete it and put the file you downloaded in there and rename it to "update"

once thats done, close the folder and goto your phone and tap that same notification in the pull down bar, unmount your sd. Turn off phone and wait till the lights on the bottom go off. Now hold volume down, camera, and power til the recovery screen comes up. Press volume down to apple sdcard:update.zip and press the home key. it should work perfect and reboot when its done.

I did that and it works great but I have no gps functionality. =(

Thanks,

D3luSi0n4L
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
This post is close, however you need CWM which gives you root privledges and will allow you to perform the update.zip from ZD card.

I used Odin to put my stock files back to have as clean an update as possible.

Copied the uodate.zip to the SDCARD.

I cleared the cache partition and Dalvic cache.

Then applied the update.zip I copied to the SD Card.

It failed the first time, But completed when I started the process again.

Welcome to Froyo.

[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
I can happilly say I do again have my GPS in Froyo.

Again I did an Odin back to stock files before proceeding. One of the main reasons is because I had so many problems with my GPS ever since I went to DK17.

In the [ROM] AhmgskMOD. The Dev gave me some very specific instructions on how to get it dialed in. I am now getting up to 11/11 Sat lock. VERY quick, and 1M accuracy.

[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
I am pretty new to this but had a realpatient teacher who showed me the ropes.

That being said I would advise starting at the begining if your getting errors.

Start by downloading all the files for the Flash you are performing again. Something may have corrupted in the download process.

There are also a couple available that flash from the DK117 to DK 28.

I might try one of those.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
A few posts back I gave my process which included using CWM and wiping the cache.

Also in one of them I talked about a post in [ROM] AhmgskMOD about a GPS fix process that I followed. It seems complicated but really was not.

Performed after I flashed to DK18 with Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Again....

if you are going nuts go ahead and check out the Odin .tar method

And try the rename to "update" instead of "update.zip" if you have file names messed up with Windows.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LordLugard:
You need to flash first to stock DI18 before going to this 2.2. I had the same issue too and it made common sense to me. I had the stock DI18 zip and i flashed to it using CWM. Restarted phone, checked it was all good, went back into CWM recovery and flashed this 2.2 Froyo. Worked like a charm.
