This is not the official update

The OP is correct. In multiple posts at Sprint's own user forum yesterday, the Sprint admin clearly denied that there has been an official update.

I posted links to those Sprint statments on multiple threads here, but few seem to pay attention. The DK28 downloads we are seeing are a leak, not an official release.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
Conspiracy theory time: we're all public RC testers. Sprint allowed that file to be put on Google's servers knowing that somebody here would find it, and knowing that we here will have our phones in all range of possible configurations - from stock to stock/rooted to fully customized. They may not get very scientific data from our experience but they'd get a lot of anecdotal data to add to whatever data they've collected themselves through their own testing.

If this is a RC, they may have thought all of the bugs were worked out and are now seeing some new ones that they didn't know about. We've all tried various things before to get our GPS to work and maybe something we've done is responsible for breaking it completely in DK28... and that's something they might not have known would happen.

Other than the GPS death, though, I've had no problems with DK28. After the painful process of reverting to DI18, re-updating and then restoring all my apps and settings, everything now works (except MediaHub, which is actually a blessing) and the UI is smooth and fast for me.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
My gps Is working flawlessly, snag had since the moment I flashed dk28 maybe it is the rom you are using.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I don't believe dk28 is final myself. It just doesn't perform as good as di18. The only improvement for me has been working GPS. Flash is not a big deal to me. Games like Asphalt are jittery and glitchy. The UI is a bit laggy and jittery as well. These are issues that should have been resolved even in a RC. As it stands now, if this is the final release, I'm gonna roll back to a custom 2.1 ROM and wait for an improved version of Froyo(or Gingerbread lol)
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Its not the final. Wish people would stop claiming that it is and confusing new XDA members. There are too many problems with DK28 and DI18 was too stable and polished a release for samsung to truly consider this an upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] kynetx:
More proof it's not final:

Desk dock audio doesn't work as promised for 2.2. Voice command also doesn't work.

Then again, maybe they won't be supported as promised.

Sprint has officially announced that this is not the official release and is asking people not to install it.

[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
No. Gps is still sporatic and screen rotation is slower than Christmas. Media hub also doesnt work...but im not sure that is froyo's fault. I think DL03 or whatever the next update is will be stable enough to release...assuming they continue on the track they are on.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Works pretty well

It has been working pretty well for me.. Had a couple widgets go missing off the home page, and the roatation is a little dealyed.. GPS is solid, but never had a problem with that before or than accuracy was like 30 meters, now I am getting an accuracy of 3.3 feet.
[Epic 4G General] celsius0010:
Never rooted either, its running better than stock 2.1 for me.. I was ready to take my phone in to be looked at.. Just got my Epic and I like to run stock for at least 2-3 weeks so I can tell if the custom roms are really better or not..

[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Unless you flashed from stock di18 your GPS will be borked. I flashed over from dk17 and it foobared my GPS. Went back to di18; reflashed.. good as new
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Here is my my DK28 conspiracy theory.... Sprint is now saying that this isn't a final release and you shouldn't install it! HOWEVER.... as of about 20 minutes ago the file was still downloadable from the Google server. Is this a final release? Probably not. Is this a RC build? Most likely. They know that if something is "leaked" that the "tech lemmings" will be all over it which will vastly increase the number of phones running the build. Since this isn't "official" they have perfect plausible deniability and can completely disavow all knowledge about how this was "leaked" to the masses and not be responsible for having to officially support it. If DK28 is so bad then at least pull the download from the Google server and if you still want to get it to testers you can get the file to them by another means and they can do the recover update.zip method like everyone else has done. The timing about when this showed up also seemed a bit odd to me also. Late evening on a Saturday night? Right in the middle of a weekend? Easy to stay quiet about it and not say anything until the business day on Monday while just about every smartphone related site on the Internet had an article about it and a high number of them had direct links to the download from Google. This brings up another thought about how this has all went down. If it is so easy for anyone to download from the Google servers without any apparent type of authentication then in theory what IF someone was able to somehow "poison" the DNS for a device either by directly compromising the DNS servers or by a host entry on the device could they then trigger a bogus OTA update notification and then get people to download an exploited "update" from another location? I'm not saying that is in any way what has happened with DK28 but what I am saying is that by not having some other layer of security in place such as some kind of password protection to me it looks like the current process is an accident waiting to happen. If there was a password, shared key, etc. that was gotten by the device during the OTA notification this would at least prevent the casual "drive by" download. If someone managed to figure out how to get the password/key and then used that to manually download the file that would be on them but the current method just seems too easy to allow a "leak" like this.

I have exhausted everything I can think of and it is driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have tested SwiFTP with my roommates Droid X and it works perfectly.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
it's an issue with cm 6.1 RC2. It becomes evident that nothing of the sort will work when you try to ping your phone from your computer. You will receive the destination host unreachable.
[HTC Aria General] wealeat:
So is there a solution? Seems like it would be an issue for a lot of people. Obviously though, I don't expect everything to work in CM, but this seems like a little bigger issue than something like trackball wake.
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
For some stupid reason there is a firewall I'm guessing in the android OS that's blocking all incoming connection requests. We should have access to be able to configure this - since this is basically based off Linux right.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudhgargi:
I recently bought a t-mobile UK branded x10 from ebay...

I wanted to unlock it..

I have read all the posts all over INTERNET. The cheapest service i found on ebay was for 18 pounds(not verified still) with a unlock code.

Whereas the for x10a rogers and At&t it was for some 5 dollars!!!

I also read unlocking by cable. It says i have to buy credits for at least 10 phones.. that will cost me a lot !

I wanted to ask if there is a method to unlock it for free or cheaper...

can somebody suggest me the how to unlock it ..

Thanks in advance !!!

I am a newbie to android..This website is like the temple to all andoid guys!!!

PS:Waiting to get the xda app on my x10i soon :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
The only way is to pay, so find the cheapest you can.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
First - try to contact your seller. If it worked, use official way if your seller is a current TMO customer. He should have active account for at least 90 days (as I remember) and have street address since they send unlock code by regular mail. It costs 15GBP. Usually it it doesn't work - who cares after successful transaction?

I used cable service of pretty well known "Sweden GSM". It costs $40. It took me around half an hour from payment till unlocking.

Another worked at least for two people from this forum service - by code. You'll get the code in 5-7 days after payment. It costs a little cheaper - $36.5.

The thread with all this info and personal experience:

[Q] AT&T X10a carrier unlock

Both contacts are at page 4, but better to read all thread - for info and for feedback from different services.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudhgargi:
Hey thanx a lot Che Kirila and XperiaX10iUser.. i am trying to find call up the seller... to get the unlock for me .. If not then search elsewhere...

i read the post .. i will try contacting them for the code..

thanks for guiding me..

P.S: just wondering why the unlock so tough to find..... Its been quite long x10i has been in market.. still no crack available !
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
It depends on the lock technology. Encoding with open and private key technically unbreakable (time to bruteforce is too long), but there is simpler way - SE can just generate random numbers and write down them to the database, so no crack, the only way is to steal whole database.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] romskii:
Hi,

it seems, that for some Builds the download speed is normal, also better than in others. For example i'm using Futureshocksbuild and the beta desire hd2. In Futureshock the speed is low and it takes about some minutes to download 2 MB. But in desire hd2 i tried the same app and download finished in seconds. Other Apps were also succesful.

So maybe chefs have a solution and share it? to make every build perfect?
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Noticing more and more that out side of google or bing search, this phone has some issues with browsing.

For example today was on aol email. every time i scroll over to see something on the page, it would auto slide back to left side? I can scroll down and hold but when i move side to side, it wont stay, then when I would click on emails to view, it would render them as read but not show them to me?

Then tried yahoo just as a test, same problem.

Any one else?
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
used yahoo mail yesterday without problems. Do you have the browser set to mobile page view?
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Er, try using the email client to look at emails instead of the web browser? Just a thought.

not the point, just testing browsing features
[Epic 4G General] kenny782:
Just found this trick on some other site, easier than using the console for me.

The instructions look long, but it takes all of about 5 seconds per app for me.

Requirements:

Install and launch titanium backup (free works)

Click "Problems?" and let it install busybox

1) Bring up the Backup/Restore tab

2) Tap a piece of bloatware and backup, then restore it.

3) Then you can hit the uninstall button

4) Go back in once more and hit delete to get rid of the backup.

That's it just uninstall titanium, assuming you don't want it that is.

Hope it helps someone.

-Kenny

***Titanium does have a force uninstall at the bottom if you long tap.

But it didn't work for me, the phone wouldn't process the update.zip files.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
Okay, so tried the Vibrant OC UV Kernel so I can overclock my Vibrant, but I get stuck in boot loop everytime. This is what I did;

-Installed Eugene's ROM 2.2 JK2 using Odin3 v1.7- Worked fine.

-Installed ROM Manager

-Flashed Recovery using ROM Manager

-Download "Vibrant OC UV Kernel v1.0"(which is a zip file) on PC and moved it to root of SD card

-Reinserted SD card into Vibrant and used ROM Manager to Reboot in Recovery Mode

-In Recovery I, selected reinstall packages, selected choose zip from sd card, selected external sd, selected "Vibrant_OC_UV_Kernel_v1.0.zip"

Now I don't know what I'm doing wrong but every time it finishes it gets stuck in a boot loop. The only thing I can think of is what JAC said about kernels:

NOTE:For compatibility with all phones this does not automatically OC to 1.2Ghz per Unhelpfuls idea as not everyone can handle 1.2Ghz. Use a user script in the init.d folder with

Code:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 1200000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

or setCPU to OC the Kernel to 1.2Ghz. 9.8MFLOPS is about what these CPU's average in Linpack at this speed. I've had it in the 10's and that may be coming back as another option.

Download the Overclock script here and make sure you put it in the /system/etc/init.d folder (right click and save with no extension for Windows users)

Anybody have any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
are you using the unnofficial rom? or the old froyo that doesent brick?

if your using the old one (Froyo that doesent brick) you might consider updating to Macnut R13 or The Unofficial.

and you might want to use a more up to date kernel as well.

I'm not familiar with the kernel you posted either... thats not Jac's kernel is it?

if so, it wont work with 2.2 roms.

I'd try one of eugene's if your on his rom. (make sure its a 2.2 kernel first though)

you may want to re-odin beforehand though just in case.

Is it staying on the CM logo? Take out the battery then go into recovery by pressing power while holding down on the volume.

Then when in recovery just wipe/factory reset. If that doesn't work just wipe and flash the rom over again.

Idk if it matters but isn't Nexus One WVGA? Our phone is HVGA, the graphics in that thread wouldn't fit on our phone. I'm assuming. could be wrong.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Nexus 1 ≠ Mytouch Slide

There's your answer (and should have been before he ever flashed it). Make sure you read before doing things to your phone. Fully understand and comprehend it before you do it (ask questions) - or you'll end up with an expensive piece of plastic. Don't let some friend flash things to your phone unless they have your phone and demonstrate a good understanding of what to do along with adb and linux. Lastly make sure they know how to fix it if they mess it up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
i dont think he would end up bricking the thing, after all he managed to root it but... yeah your friend flashed something meant for a completely different device with a different screen resolution and framework... so just go into recovery wipe and flash a rom for the slide, you should be good to go :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZX3ZX4:
The GPS on my un-rooted Vibrant has been working quite well since the JI6 update. That update changed several of the dialer-accessed settings, and I haven't messed with any of them since the phone was finally working. I also didn't do the GPS Restore app because I figured why try to fix something that's not broken.

However, today, for the first time in two months, I couldn't get any locks. The GPS found a dozen satellites and showed normal signal strengths (25-40%) for the majority of them, but it kept losing and finding them, and got no locks. When I tried using Google Maps, it thought I was around Las Vegas (I'm in the Pacific NW), and the accuracy circle was probably 500 miles.

I rebooted the phone, but that didn't help. Then I decided to go into the GPS settings and found that there were two changes that I hadn't made: the Server FQDN type had switched from Auto Config to Custom, and the Server had switched from "h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gpp" (which first appeared with JI6) to "www.spirent-lcs.com." I changed back to Auto Config, but didn't change the server, and re-booted. Then I went to the GPS Test app again and got a lock on 7 of 11 satellites in about 20 seconds with 20' accuracy.

Finally, I went back into the GPS settings: it was still set to Auto Config, but the Server had mysteriously switched back to "h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gpp."

I had assumed that once I made a change to the GPS settings they stayed thay way unless I went back in to modify them, or I installed an update or the Samsung GPS Restore app. So, was this just some weird hiccup where my phone reverted to some old settings on its own, or what? I'm also curious to know what info is stored in the GPS Data Cache (which I've never cleared since I've had the phone)...in particular, could this be the source of the switched Server settings?
