I have a question:

So i did a CWM backup before i flashed to Froyo using (also did a Titanium backup as well). Can i then go ahead and restore my data using CWM or start from scratch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You should selectively restore the data you need from the Titanium backup. Do not restore your Clockwork backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iansltx:
not working...

Downloaded both over USB and direct to my phone, double-checked the md5sum on my server against a fresh copy direct from Google (identical) and I'm still getting the following error, even after clearing the cache from recovery mode:

Any ideas on how to get around this? Stock, upgraded to the next-newest FW version, rooted using the one-click from a couple months back. I'd rather keep my apps etc. so a full flash would be far from ideal.

Ideas? Maybe replacing that file with another, "stock" one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
You must be on DI18 to flash the ota .zip -- also you must be unrooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iansltx:
I am on DI18. Others above seemed to indicate that an unroot was not needed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
I bet thats my prob too.. trying again..will update soon.

SWEET....IT WORKS.. WELCOME TO FROYO ..its about time.

PS.I like the colorful menu :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] LordLugard:
Ok, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
I was on DI18 and rooted prior to the OTA and it worked just great. Although un-rooting first can't hurt!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Oh! Good to know!
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Does this update.zip also update the modems? Also when in android recovery should we wipe data and wipe cache before applying the update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iansltx:
Apparently the hangup was that I had rooted via the joeykrim method. Unrooted using the root uninstaller tool and the update is now humming along!
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Yes, it includes everything including modem and kernel. No need to wipe before applying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
The one-click "from a couple months back" uses the old joeykrim root method which hijacks the file the upgrade is complaining about. Running the latest one-click again should fix it, and you should be able to upgrade after that.

Edit:

Or that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iansltx:
See above post. Ran the unroot (though I could've just rerun the root) and I'm now running 2.2. Next up: root!
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Good point, let's get that mentioned in the OP. Gawd knows there will be many people with the "old school" root running into this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Added. Nice find guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tahde:
I rooted both my brides and my Epic last night. I ended up reverting back to stock while I kept my brides phone rooted.

After doing the update my went through flawless and is working great now.

I did the update to my brides phone and had error at first (wife had file as update.zip.zip), and I changed it to update.zip. Updated via clockwork and she never lost a thing. Not even root access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Awesome! Good to hear that it worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iansltx:
2.2.1 appears to be working swimmingly. Rooting using the one-click version 2.5.0 now. Had used 2.2.5 the first time, hence the issues I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
I used Titanium backup. But only for programs and some data. Not system Data or it can cause FC's
[Epic 4G Android Development] CO pitbull:
Yes be sure your using the latest version of CWM.

I'm getting a similar error:

I was using the old one-click root epic.aio.v1.13. I tried unrooting it with the same method (supposedly, I am now unrooting because my programs that require root access are blocking me), restarting the phone in recovery mode, and selecting update.zip (not update.zip.zip), but I get the same error.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] droid26:
now on froyo, but gps is still a no go, any thoughts
[Epic 4G Android Development] SantiMun:
Alright, I opened Odin and applied "SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar" and "s1_odin_20100512.pit" successfully.

Afterwards I put "1506bdf2e04b.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToDK28.zip" into the root folder of my SD card and rename it to "update.zip" (also making sure its not "update.zip.zip").

After that I reboot into recovery mode and select "wipe data/factory reset" FIVE times as well as "wipe cache partition" FIVE times.

Only after that do I select "apply sdcard:update.zip". During this part though, I run into:

Started over and this time tried using the "victory_8G_100528.pit" instead of "s1_odin_20100512.pit".

Then I tried using the "updated one.click.root.exploitv2.5.0" and using Clockwork to install the update.zip and I STILL receive the error.

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you for taking the time to read this :)

UPDATE: *FACEPALM*

I'm such a noob LOL. I realized what my problem was. I was ODIN to DG27 when I was supposed to use DGI18! After I used that it was smooth sailing!

Awesome! I was running Andromeda. In Clockwork I wiped three times, cache once, then flashed stock DI18. After DI18 was flashed, I wiped 3 times, cache once flashed the file that I had renamed to update.zip. Worked like a charm.

Some tips:

Do a Nandroid Backup first! If flash fails, you can restore your phone to the way it was before it got hosed. You do this in Clockwork via backup/restore.

Use Titanium Backup Pro. You can backup your apps and restore them with ease instead of downloading them one by one in the market.

If you use Chomp, you can backup your theme.

If you use Launcher Pro, you can backup your home screens.

Use SMS Backup+ to backup and restore SMS, MMS and call logs.

I was back up and running in no time at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
If you're using the .tar file from my other thread, then do not use a .pit file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Op can you kindly let the users know that if they flash this they will LOSE root and wont be able to install themes..... in your first post

[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
my gallery is Crashing when trying to open... i did a titanium restore of apps and data... any one else having this problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Titanium restore should only be done for user-installed 3rd party applications. You may have wiped the updated Gallery application with an old version that isn't compatible.

Flash over again or maybe you can pull the Gallery files from /system/app.

"official" froyo update...

Samsung and their Epic can blow me...I havent gotten GPS to work unless im in 2.1. Every other phone ive ever had had zero problems with flashing WORKING roms...

Ive tried every single step to fix GPS and none work. I dont even use GPS, its the principal of it that Samsung sucks and they cant even get that right.

Going back to my N1 where it truly was pure android bliss in all capacity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Comando156:
K re flashing now, do you think i can use it to restore other data, like system preferences, home screens, and sms/mms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I wouldn't restore those things, because they overwrite applications that may have been changed in DK28. Up to you to experiment, though! :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
So I tried re-rooting and un-rooting using the latest one-click method 2.5. When I boot back into recovery mode, it now uses Clockwork. I have tried applying update.zip twice now, and each time, the same error message occurs. Any other ideas? I'd hate to have to perform a factory wipe.

EDIT: I even tried wiping the damn thing (three times, of course), and it STILL gives me the same error. What the hell am I missing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] diego1985:
Yep getting it and its frustrating. One source told me to rename it “update.zip” and someone else said just name it "update" and it fix the problem. But the same message for me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] miguelshihto:
:(

2 things that really upset me about the new update are:

1. They changed the SMS layout.. it looks like an iPhone now...

2. They made it so that when entering text, there's no haptic feedback..

I loved the fact that I could text and know that I was actually hitting buttons because the haptic feedback told me so and without it, it just feels disgusting...

Does anybody know how to change these back to the way they were in Eclair without actually reverting back to Eclair?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
This is what I keep getting when trying to do this to my brothers phone.

Yes, it was returned to stock.

I downloaded the 2.2 zip three times [once from each link] and tried, same issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Try the Odin .tar instead?

The one click root should work. Of course CWM is wiped with upgrades.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Try the Odin .tar method (alternate method on this HOW TO) -- It will be a clean flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpma4life:
I saw someone mention this problem earlier but searched for it and can't seem to fnd the particular thread. Copied the file to my phone, renamed it update.zip, etc.

I'm running stock rom but with noobs one click root...any suggestions?

Under it also says: E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)

Am I doing something wrong? I have windows set to show hidden file extensions so I know it's not update.zip.zip or anything like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pcorlatan:

I've tried the different methods and no luck so I'll just wait for it to come OTA, is there any estimated time frame that it could take? Also will my stuff be preserved if it comes OTA or will it be like having a brand new phone? Thanks!

In the directions for updating your epic, it mentions something about flashing. What does that mean, after I download the zip, how do I flash and what is flashing?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
Wow, Thanks everyone!

Saved all my apps. Though had to reroot using oneclick.

Does this flash the new modem?

Everything seems to be working perfectly, including wireless tether. But I haven't had a chance to check out the GPS yet. One small defect is my digital clock widget cuts off the top of the widget. Guess I'll have to pay for launcher pro.

Should there be an updated market app?

From About Phone:

Firmware ver. 2.2.1

Baseband ver S : D700.0.5S.DK28

Kernel ver 2.6.32.9

Build num FROYO.DK28

Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones, buy my GPS works just fine. (Hardware ver D700.0.5) The only thing that seems a little off is switching back and forth between landscape and portrait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hausman:
It's not something simple like the update turning off GPS and people not realizing it, is it? In the old days people used to complain about location services failing to work and later discovering their GPS was turned off (LOL).

Though I wouldn't put it past Samsung to have an update that kills GPS. I was an Intrepid owner. Talk about being thrown under the bus.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dkaile:
Nope, the GPS is ticked on and still not working for many; even when we try to toggle on the gps, the gps icon that is supposed to come alive in the notification bar, doesn't... I have heard it is more with people using the zip file to update rather than the tar/odin method; lets hope that the reverting back to DI18 and then toggling gps to on and then again back to DK28 solves this issue.

looking for an easier way out though...

I flashed from stock and now I have no GPS at all either...very frustrating because I had no GPS issues before!

Other things i have noticed is slow switch between portrait and landscape views on home screens (application shortcuts takes a couple seconds to load). For some reason this is not an issue if you open application tray first, then turn it. Bluetooth voice dialing STILL does not work either (unless you're using something like vLingo)

I like the new bubble style text message and I also like the 270 degree screen rotation now (was waiting for this!)

I am hoping things get better, but I only have a couple of days left to decide if I want to keep the epic. Love the phone but its been one issue after another. My brother's EVO hasn't had a single issue since day one. I'm not trying to turn this into a debate about which phone is better, but just saying....

I did the ACS Rooted ROM upgrade first. Everything went well, but I had NO GPS. Also after reading in the post that protected apps in the ACS ROM are signed as a Nexus One, I Odined back to stock unrooted 2.1 and ran the update.zip from the Google Server because I wanted to simulate the process an average Sprint user would go through.

As soon as I booted up I got a lock almost instantly. I was down to 6 meters within 15 seconds. May be a coincidence, not sure, but Ive never ever got a GPS lock before on my phone. Later on I ran the one-click-root, and I'm still getting a lock.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Squeaky369:
Dude; Calm Down!

You are taking modified ROMS and installing them; there are bound to be issues. The developers will get this stuff fixed. That's why these are "leaked" versions. Until Sprint and Samsung announce that 2.2.1 is ready to go and they are releasing it; you can't hold these 100% functional.

If you want everything 100%; then don't flash custom ROMS.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
You can use the update.zip method only if you are on a stock 2.1 ROM. If you have a custom ROM, try this:

Update Android 2.2 Froyo for Epic 4G

Intended for those going from any other version of Android to the latest firmware.

1. Download the required .tar file

* HERE

2. Download Odin

3. Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”

* Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off

* Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up

4. Plug your device in

5. Place the .tar file in the PDA slot

6. Start flashing

I haven't tried this myself, but supposedly it works. But there ya go :)
