Where is this information coming from?
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
I think it's from his buddy, but he's not going to say anymore
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
+1...Sorry I don't have the know-how, but I'd imagine that's flashable through Odin somehow?

Also, if legit, we could all just chill a few more days...nah!
[Epic 4G General] showmrock:
What are the chances we'll have a flashable ROM tonight?
[Epic 4G General] kennethpenn:
Pretty good ;) stay tuned.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
26.42% for sure
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I thought it was a 32.33%... repeating of course.
[Epic 4G General] panthar:
60% of the time we will have a flashable ROM every time.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
About a good of chance as I have to be on a horse?
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
I'm not gonna lie, that rom smells like pure gasoline.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I can feel it in my bones. The OP was able to provide the necessary files to bubby earlier today. I have a feeling the right stuff is in the hands of the right chefs... is that bacon I smell cooking?
[Epic 4G General] panthar:
It smells like Bigfoot's ****!
[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
I finally got it. (:

Jsinger and myself were able to track down the update location on the servers using logcat. I've successfully updated from DI18 to DK28 and gps is working, there is no lag, and the rotation and camera bugs are fixed. This is looking to be the official froyo (2.2.1), stay tuned for a deodexed and zipaligned ROM for k0nane. I've handed over the files to the ACS team about an hour ago. Hopefully you guys can get in on the goodness here shortly. (:

Love always,

Bubby323

They have no idea as of yet. We were never informed.

Props op, I was skeptical at first.

Thanks to you, many epic users will get the taste of official froyo sooner then sprint intended.

Bubby looking forward to your release!

[Epic 4G General] KillerFu:
What if we just want the update and no rom attached to it?

Also better idea... why not have someone sell/trade their hardware v4 phone to a developer? This would mean we would always have a dev with updates before everyone else. Would speed things up a lot!

why do i keep pressing refresh every 10 secs?
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
My only concern. Did they fix the damn keyboard buffer so that the hardware keyboard doesn't miss 1/3 of the keys when we type too fast?
[Epic 4G General] Johnny.Bravo:
LOL...the same reason I do!
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
In hopes that you'll press refresh and a link to the update.zip that will update stock Epics to froyo 2.2.1 will appear

I'm waiting patiently.. I swear :D
[Epic 4G General] siptang:
+2 on that. mean while, i just flashed back to DI18 in case lol.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
it will be a rom/kernel update.zip but alas as of right now we may still need odin to flash teh modem, taht is all
[Epic 4G General] big3etr:
A little birdie said "if you turn off swype, the keyboard lag goes away!"
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
If your hardware isn't .4, you won't get the update yet from what I understand.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
hmm well will there be a flashable for the modem soon?
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
It eliminates MOST of the lag, but it's not a 100% fix. And besides, who wants to turn off swype?

[Epic 4G General] abe_ahmed09:
Let me get this straight,if you flashed the modem and .pit thing from vipers om, do u gotta flash odin again? And if ur on a dk17 rom u have to go back to dk18? Someone summerize please
[Epic 4G General] zenvita:
Doubt it. the HLR probably realizes the HW build. hmm or maybe fake it out if the HLR does some kind of update/sync similar to DNS????
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
ha, now that I think about it, I didn't use swype on my last ROM and had NO lag. when I left swype on since I updated last week ive had tons of lag. that's where the lag is coming from!
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
The .3 models were last of the dev models, .4 were few and far between

Everyone else got .5

A few pages back, there's a member that explains it all, but meh... I don't remember where LOL

True who trolls one their first post. Duch bag
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
As mentioned I DO NOT KNOW. :)

It's just an OTA .zip I'd wait for a dev to release a better version, figured some would like to take a look and tinker on their own though. Proceed with caution as always.

I repeat PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Do not flash if you don't know what you're doing, this is mostly untested, yadda yadda yadda
[Epic 4G General] hahaiknow:
Yea I said I just found it but I did not say I found it today I just wanted to see if there was any help for my phone but it seems that this is a touchy subject and may be something you hear a lot? I was reccomended to go to this site I am far from scared of being called a troll or reported because I posted on a thread
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
Just to clear it up for you guy's, YES, flash thru clockworkmod!!!!!
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Sorry for my n00b-ness but I rooted for a very unambitious reason: to install a forced roam app.

If I actually wait to OTA update to be on the safe side:

-will it wipe the phone like those horrible old WinMo ROMs did or not

-will my root vanish

-and will I be able to re-root the same easy way

-and will my root-requiring app work again?

That's all I need to know. I'd appreciate correct answers. Thank you. Y'all are amazing.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
You don't have to be scared, just know you're an idiot. Plain and simple.
[Epic 4G General] TX2000:
i guess noone in here is flashing back to DI18

You can't flash it over top of Froyo either to my understanding. Have to start from Eclair. Something about delta patches..

hey dude,

please read what i replied to your first post.

No matter who you put it, it's just isn't very nice.

It's like telling a fat person that they are fat or an ugly person ugly. No matter how nice you try do it, it still sounds bad.

My personal opinion, just drop it and if you think it's no big deal then just leave it at that. What's the big deal?
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Nevermind, found the file on a page I must have managed to skip...
[Epic 4G General] JungleJiujitsu:
Did you delete the update.zip that was already in there? Or did you place them in two separate locations/folders? TIA!
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
It lessens, but does not go away. However I use Swype for shooting off quick texts one handed so switching input method over and over isn't really a solution. I noticed that the dropouts got worse from DI18 to DK17, I'm hoping they at least go back to DI18 level if not better with DK28. I noticed that it was stated that some of the other lag was corrected so I have my fingers that this may have at least improved.

In the meantime it's awesome to see the support of the community in getting this stuff into the hands of the very capable devs. I look forward to seeing how this all rolls out and getting Froyo ahead of those unaware of XDA and it's awesomness. :D

Ok, renamed it to update.zip and installing via clockwork mod as install update.zip from sd option.

The update works perfectly fine on .5 hardware. I have it running. I had a stock Refurb replacement that I just got for mine since it was messing up and I just went through stock clockwork and flashed. I did do a wipe after I installed the update though. So far everything's been working well.

Either the tarball has something shady in it or typical BS that's prevalent on this forum.

Please confirm before I got ahead n give it a try!

Thanks

What is this? I try to download and the file says its a different file???
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Everyone needs to stop for a second and think about what they are FLASHING to their phones.

For one most of you want to be ROOTED right? Well if you flash that update you will lose your root.

2. Most people like to have custom themes right? Well guess what that OTA your flashing wont accept them cause the rom is not Deodexed yet.

So please everyone unless your just looking for a stock Froyo build and update then do not flash this update or tar yet. Wait for a Dev to release a rom with root etc

Thanks again to those who contributed
[Epic 4G General] kennethpenn:
Yes, using these instructions it will indeed work out perfectly. :) Happy flashing!

Whether you wait for the dev release or not you're still going to need or want to upgrade the modem. You may as well flash the tarball, re-root, reinstall clockwork, wait for .zip roms from that point.

[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
This.

First of all, this looks hokey. I know that updates literally 'roll' out across the country, but not ONE other person can confirm this? Hrm... Like Firon said, could be nothing more than a build.prop edit.

Also, if this is legit, people, keep in mind that updates aren't magically available across the country. It takes time.

Umm, no it's not. Legitimacy tests take a fraction of the time and let us know that we aren't wasting our time. Firon knows what he's talking about.
