Come on guys, its been literally an hour and we dont even have it confirmed if its legit or not. I would have expected it to be rooted and cooked in at least 4 different roms by now.
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
How rude someone gave this thread 1 star without knowing if it is real or not
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
No updates yet in Portland/Metro area.
[Epic 4G General] abe_ahmed09:
I understand that but if its legit what would you pull first. If its not, whats there to pull? build.prop lol
[Epic 4G General] abe_ahmed09:
lol true true
[Epic 4G General] done12many2:
Not working for me. I odined back to DI18 and get no update. I have tried several time as well.
[Epic 4G General] -logik-:
Looks good so far...
[Epic 4G General] abe_ahmed09:
lol its not "that" fast
[Epic 4G General] done12many2:
I've got 0.5 and got mine on the release day.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I am sitting here looking at my phone, and its taking every ounce of willpower not to flash back myself even though it would be an immense pain if it turned out to be a hoax.

[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Why would someone post something fake on here?What would be the purpose?
[Epic 4G General] xtkxhom3r:
dammit this would happen right before i go into work too...
[Epic 4G General] scott47:
I'm really hoping this is real...

At this time there is no OTA update available in the Denver area (at least through the normal Sprint method)
[Epic 4G General] Jimmyjoe:
Jeff (OP),

Where are you at? City State?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well, if it was a hoax, it would be some Grade A trolling.

[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
You haven't been on XDA much, let alone the Epic forums, let alone the internet, have you?

It's called trolling. It happens a lot, especially here, unfortunately. The OP's account is from September of 2008 and all his posts were made in this thread... :/

[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
If the phone at the store doesn't have the update it may not prove anything.. updates do not roll out all at once, it would kill sprints servers.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yea, but they usually have at least 2 on display, so if both dont have it its at least significant.

[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
To the OP your doing it all wrong, what you shoul be doing is pulling the update.zip from /cache, or making an oin flashable with dd pulling system, cache, and data that way. If you indeed did get this OTA then a update.zip should be present. If not, don't hold out we coul use the odin leak. (; I for one am calling this one real, do to the fact most of the information on that screen he posted can't be faked, basebnd version basically. Waiting for the best to come down the pipe here shortly. (O:
[Epic 4G General] DRockstar:
looks like the su command isn't working here if you're still getting the $ prompt... could be the problem...

[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Join the irc...yes, but the source of your problem is that this command has to be run from recovery. (;
[Epic 4G General] ogrillion:
Honestly I am not surprised it came out, if anyone saw my post over in general I had an update like this two nights ago.

It appeared to flash like how clockwork mod flashes a custom rom but stopped due to low battery. I never got the update again and switched to Epic Froyo so of course I won't get the update now.
[Epic 4G General] abe_ahmed09:
Ya join irc. Will speed things up a lot.
[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Run the command from recovery jsinger.

[Epic 4G General] bigroof:
why don'y one of you guys that knows how to do it pm him your number or vice versa.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
There is something fishy about this copy/paste. There should either be a permission denied after the su command or there should be a root (#) prompt. I guess it could be something funky in his pasting but it seems odd to me.

i hope this gets dumped and rooted by tonight i want froyo!
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Wrong. You can do it from the OS. What he did was paste the commands, which you can't do. You have to su first, wait, then paste. :P

It dumped, but now you should check to see if your /cache is empty or not.

ls -l /cache
[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Yes, jsinger it worked. Now uplod tha zimage.
[Epic 4G General] flyers2114:
This means absolutely nothing....lol
[Epic 4G General] richse:
It's kinda fishy that after I post about your first copy/paste missing some stuff you post one from "recovery" with the missing stuff fixed...

What recovery are you in btw?
[Epic 4G General] bigroof:
Who really has that much time to try and fake it? Have some faith.

Where's whosdaman???
[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
What I was saying was that if he is going to go through all this trouble, the easy fix is to do it in recovery. :P

Seemed to work. (;

It appears I am having USB issues.
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Check /cache too.

adb shell ls -l /cache

As for the rest, rar the zImage and the dk28 system you pulled together, then upload it to www.mediafire.com
[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
geek.preston@gmail.com I'll extract the initramfs and look at the init.rc and see if this is legit.

If it is, I'll put together a rooted kernel with init.d and custom bootanimation support, and recompile it. (;

As for the whole package (system dump + kernel) compress it and upload it to www.mediafire.com or www.dropbox.com.

Dont forget...

adb shell ls -l /cache

I also can offer mirrors and hosting if you like...hoping to get this widespread. (:

the original ota update should be in the cache, so if you could pull and upload that, it would be really helpful, as that could be the only way to update the modem.

So I got a system update message, updating now. It doesn't look like froyo though for me. It said in System > Update > Android that it was for system files and media hub. I installed *OFFICIAL* SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 rom through odin. *shrug.*

I no this isn't the thread to ask this but I have to return my phone to sprint I flashed *OFFICIAL* SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 through odin. Is my phone now fully stock and returnable?

[Epic 4G General] bubby323:
Only time will tell...
[Epic 4G General] Cam3ron1:
Wait so this is an offical update because if so it can't be beta.

[Epic 4G General] byersbw:
Please please please can I have the link to the uploaded file so I can Odin to my phone only to realize I should have restored it via clockwork only to find out I shouldve downgraded to di18 and now have bricked my phone so now I can ***** for hours and make new posts in the dev section because I'm clueless and shouldn't be allowed to own this phone let alone flash anything on it?

:) in all seriousness, I'm glad to hear this might be it! I feel like I'm at the top of the rollercoaster in the front car and am pointing down on the hill and I'm waiting on the back cars to hurry up and get over the top! :)
[Epic 4G General] apfrost:
One click root and clockwork should not prevent this from installing should it?
[Epic 4G General] -logik-:
I'm working on it now guys, please be patient! LMAO!!

Having trouble pulling, but I have help!
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Well Im sure no one remebers it,but I posted that my source said no later then the 11/29 for the FROYO update,here you go as promised...He also says everyone will get OTA notification before 12/11/10,no BS.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Pretty sure we are past 11/29 hehe
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
It's DK28 meaning it was released on 11/28...the OTA release date's will vary based on your market. Something tells me I won't be waiting for my OTA, one of the fabulous chef's here will come up with something pretty quick. Any bets on who?
[Epic 4G General] desteroid:
i immedeately backed up and went back to stock hoping for the update

and :'(

no update...

looks like its time to play the waiting game and be on stock till official OTA arrives...
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
out in OP KS, Sprint Capital... but im working. and my phones rooted and im running the Viper Froyo Rom so I wont be able to confirm until I get home and go back to stock

hope dudes telling the truth tho.. lol

if they drop an update zip, can anyone use it or do they need to be rooted and using CWM?
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
I think what he's stating is that it would be ready to roll out nov 29th and everybody will be fully updated by 12/11... :P
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
lets hope all them do, so we have a nice big selection hehe :p
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Well Im sure he meant would be in a finished form by the 29th,and he was more than correct,he said between 26-29.Its family,so I have a very reliable source.
[Epic 4G General] danweb66:
If this person truly was updated to this then it is just a matter of hours before one of the devs get the update out of his phone. Even if it means they have to drive to his house, trust me if this is legit its hours away. But im not getting my hopes up lol:cool:
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
I believe we got a couple devs working on it, i agree if this is real we are def gonna have some fun tonight (if not then most likely tomorrow)
[Epic 4G General] richse:
ACS FTW! 10char
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
If I could get an official version of Froyo that ran as well as my 2.1 Syndicate ROM, I'd be one happy camper.
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
If this is legit, how come only one person can confirm a OTA update???? I live on the East Coast, in Maryland. Flashed to stock, and no OTA for me...
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah I been runnin Syndicate since it came out and none of these froyo's betas can't fck with it,only thing that can be better than Syndicate is Syndicate 2.2 and bubby323 AOSP is nice too.
[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
no idea maybe they accidently released ota, and he was only one to get it? well i really don't care becuz its confirmed not fake.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
It's likely the OTA was released to a very small area or demographic. This was done likely for a few different reasons..

A) Sprint Servers would never handle a nationwide release.

B) They had to give it one last test, right now they are probably keeping their eyes and ears open for "an update came out and my phone blew up" stories from the area they released the update.

We are just lucky one of them happened to come fourth on xda..
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
+1. I deffinatly believe Firon and Bubby323 that it is legit.
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
It's easy to see why this guy got it OTA: he clearly has a dev unit. Check the hardware version on his screenshot. I have never seen or heard of a retail Epic 4G with any hardware version other than D700.0.5 and his is clearly showing D700.0.4. Only other known dev version I know of is D700.0.3. So all of us with retail units should just wait and if you aren't on stock, don't be in a rush to jump to it as it clearly isn't being sent OTA to D700.0.5 units as of yet.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Yea, which means that this is just another beta froyo leak.
[Epic 4G General] dalvarez7:
I noticed that too..
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
+1, Was just going to say this. D700.0.4 is not a release version Epic.
[Epic 4G General] danweb66:
I don't know if that is totaly correct. If he recieved an ota update then its an official build. maybe another dev or someone could shed more light?
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Noob question from experienced user (Not experienced with Epic though)

I have rooted my phone, but not flashed any custom ROMs, still operating off of stock ROM...

If and when the official OTA is released, will I still get the notice, or do I have to re-root my phone to get notice?

Thanks!

BTW, Sorry for not spending too much time searching before asking, but the question is sort of generic and easy to answer if someone will do it without flaming me.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Dev Units get their updates OTA. So if the OP is using a Dev Unit, then the update is probably another beta.(possibly a RC)
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I mentioned the fact that it was a D700.0.4 phone that got the update to my source,he said that is normal to have the update go to these units first,then roll out shortly after,he said phones started getting the update 11/29 8am est...Remeber noobnl said DL03,he was probably told that this update was going to be ok'd for roll out on the 3rd,which gave the development phones 5 days to test the RC release.Im told the D700.0.5 phones will still get the label DK28 unless its not ok'd,but he says it seems to be running fine.
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
Your good dude, you'll still get your update. But you will have to re-root as it will wipe root...
[Epic 4G General] danweb66:
ok I wonder how this guy got a dev unit as he clearly is not a dev.
[Epic 4G General] chaostrodamis:
..

Exactly what I want. I only run epic experience or syndicaterom

SyndicateROM v1.0.2 + Xtreme kernel v1.2.0 + Emotionless beast final = Great functionality, Exceptional performance, and Sweet eye candy.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
He is a Sprint employee, and Sprint gives them to employees to beta test.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Thats what I thought. Thanks, sniperkill.
[Epic 4G General] ZoSo925:
How come your Hardware version sayd D700.0.4 ?

Do you have a different revision phone with different hardware or something?

Im using the DK17 ROM and my hardware says D700.0.5
[Epic 4G General] setox:
i wish that was the truth i am a employee and i don't get any treatment to froyo and i work in corporate
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
They don't give them to everyone. Where do you think we have been getting our leaks from?
[Epic 4G General] danweb66:
well regardless of anything bub said his phone is running better now with it so someone needs to post some links. puff puff give:D
[Epic 4G General] showmrock:
does this mean that DK28 will be ripped from the phone and made into a stock ROM? If so...how soon do you think we'll all have it?
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
as soon as we get the files we can do something.. til then any real confirmation of people flashing di18 and not getting ota's is rather pointless
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Since all the devs ain't posting right now it would seem that they are a bit busy atm. I'm going to the Christmas parade and will check in later. :D

[HD2 Android SD Development] oyvpet:
After trying several combinations with rom, radio, kernel, build and so on i think i finaly found a solution to the problem described in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805002

As posted in thread above the solution to Bad sound and Mic Gain was renaming or deleting the default.acdb. In the later builds this resulted in non responcing error and I personaly feelt that it did something bad with the build/kernel.

When testing out [build][1.12.2010][beta] desire hd2 I suddenly had no mic gaing or high volume in call.

So I copied the default.acdb and htcleo.acdb from that build and pasted them in to my daily build(see signature) in /system/etc/firmware.

The files are attached to this post below. REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR OLD FILES FIRST

You have to do a full reboot for the changes to take effect.

Tip: Use "root explorer" from marked and remember to update SU.

And now I have crystal clear sound both ways.

Maybe some of the devs should look into this?

I know many of the members that was using the [build][1.12.2010][beta] desire hd2 has problems with to low sound when using the attached files so they had to replace these files with the files that gave me high mic gain and to high volume.

EDIT 07.12.2010: letama clarifyed somethings. We actually just need to copy in the htcleo.acdb and that will overrule the default.acdb.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
I will give these files a try. I recently switched from froyostone v3.1 to MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3. I had froyostone running very sweet. But wanted to give the Desire HD build a chance. I also noticed in HDv4.3 that the over sensitive mic and high volume was back and was actually on xda to look for a new solution.

Was about to mention it in the respective thread till I saw this. I will post back to let you know if it worked for me. Then maybe you can post it on the

MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3 thread for others. BRB
[HD2 Android SD Development] thoiroi:
Didn't work on MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] oyvpet:
Strange.. What file explorer did you use? Try update SU and use root explorer and not ES. (I have had some problems with ES i the past and always use root explorer instead.)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
It does work with MDJ v4.3. You have to do a FULL reboot for the changes. However there is no htcleo.acdb file in this version. Strange that it is in one HD desire version but not the other.
[HD2 Android SD Development] oyvpet:
Great. Im going to update post 1 with info on full reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apple123boy:
sorry, i have some problems.

when i copied the 2 file in /system/etc/firmware. there were a box "the file is read-only"

i would like to know why this problem appeared...thx

im using root explored.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thoiroi:
Thanks, i got it work after tried update SU and use root explorer. Now my HD2 ready forget Windows moblie :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] oyvpet:
When you are inside the folder /system/etc/firmware, in root explorer you have a white button in top right corner IF that button says: "Mount R/W" touch it ones and it will change to "Mount R/O".

If you still having problems try reboot and update SU. Now you can try pasting the acdb files in that folder.
