I already did. I'm waiting for him to relay the request to his boss and get back to me.

edit: just got a response. He says his boss's phone has DK28 with 2.2.1. His phone hasn't updated, but he says the update check is failing for him. :-/ I wish I could see it for my own eyes instead of relying on second hand information.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
So his boss was on complete stock DI18, got an update notification, updated, and now has DK28?

Also, make sure its not hardware .4, some people randomly got them from buying em at the store.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
Dude, it doesn't seem like you have all the facts first his bosses phone updated now your saying that his phone refused the update. Why don't you have your friend email the update to someone who can do something with it other wise this thread should be closed
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
Pay attention, the OP's friend's phone has not updated, but his friend's boss's phone has updated. At least according to the story I'm following.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I have been paying attention and that is not what I read. He said his bosses phone is on 2.2.1 DK28 and that he got an update notification but did not update and now is not getting any hits with and update check.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
If his boss's phone updated to DK28, then it's not the final update and this thread should be closed.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Dude I just explained this...he said his boss received the update NOTIFICATION he said he was already on DK28. So as of now, it sounds like a fluke but we really don't have enough facts to know anything either way.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
You guys all need to learn how to read what somebody is saying lol

The dudes friends boss got the update, updated his phone with it, and is now on DK28.

His friends phone has not recieved the update, and when his friend goes to search for updates in About Phone, it fails while searching.

THAT is what I believe he is saying.
[Epic 4G General] tsperez:
This does not sound right... He's on DK28 but his phone has not updated? Did he flash the leaked version (which has issues)?

tsp
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
... Heres what I believe he is saying, I added extra notes in bold to fix the context he was trying to say it in.

just got a response. He says his boss's phone has DK28 with 2.2.1(He said his bosses phone is now DK28 after the update.). His phone hasn't updated, but he says the update check is failing for him. :-/(My FRIENDS phone hasn't updated like his bosses did, but when he tries to update manually through settings, it fails on him) I wish I could see it for my own eyes instead of relying on second hand information.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
That is another possible reading of it. Damn the ambiguities of the english language.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Thank you SemiGamer. That is correct. Sorry if I was unclear earlier. To further clarify, let's name my friend and his boss. We'll call my friend Adam and call his boss Bob.

Bob was on stock DI18 and received an OTA update today on his D700.0.5 hardware that brought him to DK28. I had Adam check with Bob again to confirm.

Adam's phone is also stock DI18 and when he tries to check for the update, it fails.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
I hope dk28 isnt official... with all the bugs and laggyness going around.

Unless it is and they changed it slightly, if so the OTA will hopefully goto all of our phones some time this year if not next year :(
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Est-ce qu'il y a des personnes qui veux parler en francais pour clarification?

;)

Anyone, there could be a lot of reasons why he got the update and now that it is exactly clear what happened I think the next step would be to ask for some visual proof (not to call anyone a liar but just as further evidence)
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Yup no problem man.

Visual proof wouldn't really do any good since it'll just say DK28, everyone will just suspect that its the leaked version we have out now. I can provide you with a screenshot of the same thing Bob can, but mines the leak version and his is OTA if the story is correct.

Only thing to do is flash to stock and see if anyone else gets the update.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Suppose you're right. I'm on rooted stock so I'll just have to wait and see. I hate waiting. It sucks. Anyone have some paint I can watch dry or some grass I can watch grow?
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Stock with root + clockwork still gets OTA updates right? I flashed back to stock but haven't rooted yet since I'm not sure of this.

So far the only update I've gotten is the Voicemail one, been on stock for an hour or so.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Come on guys. This forum will be flooded with dozens of people talking about their OTA Froyo update when its released. Enough with these single people claiming that magically 1 person has official OTA and everyone else is just not part of the "rollout".
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
from what I understand, yes still get ota or else I gotta unroot.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Think about it, all of the people that're running stock are average users that don't even know what XDA is, therefore a good majority of the people on stock that get the update, wont know to post on here.

Most of us that DO know of XDA are all running different ROMs already and wont get the update.

So until we have a few people on here flashed to stock, from different areas of the united states, this could be true, and it could be false.

Like I said, only way to find out is to flash to stock and wait it out.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
On stock (rooted) in WA and waiting. Althought I don't know much about OTA stuff. I've always used .zips to update because I hate waiting. <.<
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Sounds good, I'm in NJ, complete stock without root.

If you get the update, you'll be notified on your phone and it'll be in your notification bar.

Also, if you DO get the update, download it, but do NOT reboot your phone, post on here if you get it and someone will help you pull the downloaded file so we can get it to the dev's to work on :)

Rebooting your phone after it downloads wipes the update zip from your system, incase your wondering why not to reboot.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I'm on DI18 right now and I don't see anything when I go to Firmware update...smh, quick ? thoe...I am running baked snack 1.6 with baked kernel undisputed...would I still be able to get the OTA update when it does come out?
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
I believe you have to be on complete stock ROM and Kernel as well.
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
I'm 100% stock right now (I still haven't decided if I want to root, though I rooted my G1 with great success and joy) and I'm not seeing any action over here in the Pacific Northwest. I will post as soon I I see anything.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
And then from what I'm currently reading from other posts It's still onlya notification right?
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Not sure what you mean. Whats still only a notification?
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
OK I hate to be the negative one but..... Sprint themselves said DK28 was NOT the final release. Also Doesn't the K in DK28 mean November release. So the final release should be DLxx. You can't tell me that one single person got the update and NOBODY else has. IMHO the boss either A) installed the DK28 OTA manually B) is not telling the truth or C) someone doesn't have the story right. I want the update as bad as anyone but I'm just saying.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I kinda hoped I would be at the beginning of the flood. Instead, it appears to be one more random person. I also actually meant to have a question mark in the title so that it would look less like an announcement.

I know Adam and Bob were both rooted. Adam has CWM. I don't know about Bob (the one with DK28). I didn't think to ask earlier, but I will. For those that want screen shots, I asked for them around lunch time, and waiting on Adam and Bob. :-\
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
This. I and my coworkers with epics are all running froyo roms. My friend and his boss are still on DI18 provide me a better idea of what is supposed to be happening. I work for a platinum level preferred sprint retailer, too, but Sprint doesn't tell us everything. We can download the playbook every Wednesday afternoon, but even that is limited in details.
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
I can accept that DK28 isn't final but with all of the stink made by Sprint about it why is the file still available from http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d700/******* (I'm not going to post the full URL but you can find it if you Google for it).

Also there was a post from the Epic project manager that stated: "Sprint is working on a software package for the Samsung Epic4G that will upgrade it to the Froyo version of Android. Over the weekend, some users were able to access and download a test build (DK28) for the Samsung Epic from some 3rd party developer sites. Unfortunately, this is not approved software for Sprint production devices and we strongly recommend that users refrain from loading it."

Since when is android.clients.google.com a 3rd party site? If they still want to have this build available to their own official testers and keep it from everyone else they could easily change the filename but they haven't which still makes the original posted URL valid.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
I read other people saying that even people who can get the upgrade only get a notification (similar to the voicemail notification that recenly came out) of the update and that it's not even downloadable yet?
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Thats news to me.

Haven't heard of anyone getting the official update other than this thread.

Link to where you read that?
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
I believe what Tony meant was this. The fact that the DK28 is available for download just adds more proof that it isn't legit. Again, Sprint also said that the update will not be available via download until some time after the OTA has been performed. When it is released it will only be available OTA. Of course unitl XDA gets a hold of it :)
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
I'm rooted on stock and still waiting until dk28 becomes stable or i get that magic update.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Ok everybody,Im sorta in the loop and Ill say this,Sprint was supposed to make DK28 official on the 5th,but talks of problems stopped that from happening,a family member said DL07/08 was supposed to be final,work was supposed to be completed late night on the 7th,but I havnt heard word from him yet if this was completed.Ill get some info today...But like I said DK28 was supposed to be final,so maybe they changed theyre minds...So we need to see if .4 version phones get DL07/8 in the next couple days,because he says the roll out was supposed to happen 12/11/10
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
And if this is indeed the case, we'll just need the DK28-to-DL07 update that the .4 hardware users get. I'm not worried if DK28 is not the official "final" release as it will be easy to get in sync with whatever the official release is provided .4 users keep us in the loop. :)
[Epic 4G General] Inferno4213:
I just noticed my market got update fwiw.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
News Flash!!!

I'm running DK28 on a Quantum 2.0 rom. I didn't have to wait for Sprint to release it via OTA. I get to have lots of fun now and play around with all the new froyo tools. When the OTA comes out I will let the dust settle for a few days while they have you guys do the final RC testing. Then I will dl another custom rom and still have you guys one upped with a much better froyo. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Sorry smart one, we' flashed back to try an get the OTA so people like YOU and all of us can get custom ROMs based on the official OTA update.

Your right, we're not sitting back and doing nothing like you, we actually tried to flash back to stock to see if we receive the update, so we can pull the zip and give it to the dev's, so they can make your "Much better froyo" custom ROMs.

So tired of all the "I know everything!" newcomers these days.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
If that is truly the case, than this is gonna be a disaster. I cannot believe that Sprint thought that DK28 was ready for prime time. Did they do any testing whatsoever? If they were truly going to make DK28 official, then I have no confidence in the official Froyo being remotely stable and polished.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Exactly, if they can take DK28 and fix all the bugs that were reported on here and release a DL07 in such a short time. Then what took them so long to even have a leaked version of froyo from when out was first released.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Which now is actually being released. Was in this or last months Game Informer. Just saying... ;)
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Id be rich if I had a nickel for everytime someone said they were in the loop and really werent .
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
This dude has been pretty spot on ever since I first saw him post.

Have some respect.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I don't think its a matter of respect as much as it is a matter of just being cautiously hopeful. Even those in the loop can sometimes be misinformed so lets all just wait. =)
[Epic 4G General] richse:
I question the authenticity and/or sanity of anyone still running DK17 so I'm going to assume this post is BS.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Ok guys,Im not lookin for fame of any kind,nor do I think post counts make or break hat someone is saying...I could post this up in every single FROYO thread I find,but I wont...So consider the readers of this thread and one similar thread on sdx to be some what lucky just to hear what Im willing to tell you...So I am told the releases towards the end of the official release come quicker,but mostly arnt leaked because the finished product is closer to being done. So Im told that RC2 DL08 was not sent out to test phones,the new date is to have RC2 sent out 12/11/10,which should be finished early tomorrow,I cant say what is being worked on,or anything like that. So if RC2 is worthy,given a 5 day testing period give or take a day,it should be ok'd and start rolling out 12/20/2010,if this RC2 does not make it,we will be pushing a 2010 release very close....take that as you will,enjoy
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Makes enough sense to possibly be true! Thanks for the info! Its tough to believe anything with all the samsung misinformation... they're totally using our unruly mob for marketing... you would think the sales would be enough, but bumping engadget and every blog daily with vague rumors is a good tactic, I guess... like when my four year old breaks things for attention. ;)
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I will flash back to DI18 when I see some

real activity

of froyo going OTA.
[Epic 4G General] tpma4life:
How'd you get the screen rotation issue fixed? Mine does that too.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Open a terminal with treminal emulator.

Type:

Su [press enter]

/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamah

Then follow the instructions on the screen. Just make sure your phone is lying horizonally on a flat surface. I also noticed increased rotation speed after doing this AND rebooting.

Your phone must be rooted to do this. But it works.
[Epic 4G General] tpma4life:
Thanks for the quick reply, seminewb to samsung here..I usually was over on the HTC forums before this. Things seemed a bit..simpler. With all these one click root things going on...they all add "clockwork" to the phone right? Sort of off topic..so I apologize and will move it if necessary.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Yeah lets take this convo to pm or do some searching. I bet most questions you have are answered.
[Epic 4G General] maxhax2000:
FROYO

After loading the froyo leak i was pretty happy.... untill i found out my gps was dead, and flash 10, sucked. i basicly couldnt watch anything still because of it lagging so much. So i had to go back to stock. after bricking my phone, pulling out buncha hair, stressed out, lost 3 years of my life on 400 paper wieght. i fianlly got it working again with 1 of the odin original eclair kernels thnk god. good thing the backup app i got called ...qin, told me i had backup my info. then as i went to get my info. ohh gues what... even thoo the app said i backed it up to server on my own account. It really didnt do ****. and my account wasnt even on there site. THNX for telling your "customers" to goto the website and create a account because the app is going to allways say it backup phone contacts successfully. Thnx for the false sence of security u **** stains. All i know is im reallly getting tired of this no-froyo. and even if u load the froyo kernel its going to be not perfect and possible kill your gps system. I mean kernel loaded great and i had effectivly doubled my benchmark scores from eclair and i did notice a speed boost for sure. but at a cost "gps fugged up" and flash was soo choppy you couldnt even bare to use flash. on a side note. when i was "trying" to watch southpark on my flash 10.1 i was on my wifi network sooo. not sure why its soo damn choppy besides being buggy software... Id say better to wait for the official update. i wish i did...... im allmost to the point where im about to trade my epic in.. tired of this ****. Jesus why cant they fix the freakin epic and release froyo so i can fianlly watch flash. after all i been paying extra for this POS phone and still cant watch flash.. i allmost want to cancel my contract. and u can rest a sure. the saleman **** stain who sold me this phone is about to hear it tomaro when i go into pay my damn bill.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Forgive me for saying so (no disrespect intended), but there are a number of contradictions here... you're complaining that the DK28 leak was incomplete (you knew the risks of flashing your own software using a non-approved method), and yet you want a finished version of Froyo right now. Bugs need to be worked out - precisely the ones you've experienced - before that can happen.

Also, the phone is actually a rather competent platform - why would you berate your phone salesman? He has no control over people that install software that is clearly not available for release. All I'm saying is, again, no disrespect intended, you knew what you were in for when you installed an unofficial release using an unofficial installation method. It shouldn't be the fault of the phone salesman, who is after all paid to sell a phone that worked relatively-well out of the box (of course there are issues, but with such short product development lifecycles - and the fact that people are willing to spend inordinate amounts of money to support this practice, it's no wonder).
[Epic 4G General] Sloopjoshb:
I have flashed back to 18 and haven't gotten any update. Can't wait to see the actual official release though. What I saw on the leak was nice side from the broken gps and poorly working flash. Hopefully around christmas we will get the official nod and release.
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
In Denver colorado, totally stock and no update. Though I will be posting as soon as I get the update.

If it's not out by xmas, I AM going to go postal though. *has uzi all ready to go*

Epic Is As Epic Does
[Epic 4G General] HeXeD:
I'm going to second the last response to this. This is the most ridiculous post I have seen this month. Just because you apparently don't take the time to make sure you are doing things right when dealing with leaked and custom roms is no one's fault but your own. And you're *****ing that a LEAKED rom is not complete? And buggy? Seriously? Please, do us all a favor and return your epic so we don't have to hear this.

...Something tells me you will be pitching the same hissy fit in a few months when Gingerbread doesn't make it to the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Lol this guy is crazy!
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
Anyone know when dl06 will be cleared for the masses?
[Epic 4G General] tubasteve:
After 2 hours of bull $h!+ing on the phone with sprint's "advance tech" support she stated that the dropped 2.2 due to major issues cause I *****ed about my doc not working and other b.s. she said "don't expext to see it before xmas." I asked why and her reply was that all te phones being purchased would screw the update, she said maybe VERY late this month but most likely next month sometime.

1)hook line and sinker it sounds like everyone elses post.

2) I take any info as much as I belive in my chargers this year.

3) don't flame me for anything I said, just be an infrmant from what I gatherd today at knotts with a dead epic.

After I complained about the $50 doc I got release day still doesn't work is when she brought up 2.3 and the issues 2.2 had with hardware control.
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
Is this English?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I will translate what I got out of it.

"I heard from Sprint that they are not releasing Froyo, but are rather releasing Gingerbread. This is due to hardware control issues with Froyo. Sprint said Gingerbread will not be released until late this month at earliest, but more likely will be released sometime next month."
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
Damn I thought DK28 was the latest version...is this another upgrade to the Froyo leak? I've never even heard of this...I can't even keep up anymore smh.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
That new version was speculated from possible inside info within this thread. Now this newest post would seem to imply skipping to 2.3. I'm guessing first info is more likely, but they COULD both be true... who knows. At this point, I just want stable, and pushing the hardware so it really shines. If we have to wait a bit longer fo 2.3, so be it. There's plenty of good 2.1/2.2.1 roms here. Not that I don't check this multiple times a day, but the gossip is just fun... not getting my panties in a bunch over it...
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know. That's why I'm asking

Where would the update dl to? Card or phone? What directory? It's gonna be a zip right?
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
I'm guessing root of SD card, probably. Sdcard/update.zip.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I think that it is downloaded to a /cache/ directory.
[Epic 4G General] ErlyD:
I think theleak was setup. Sprint asked google to just put it out there. Everyone install it report back bugs on xda and every other forum out. They simply log it and attempt to fix it before end of month. Sprint if you read this gps stopped working in dk28 for me. My epic is a .5 and just got it in nov 18. Gps worked fine with stock, updated and died. Went back to stock.

Why else would the leak still be hosted on googles servers. If it was a leak don't you think it would have been plugged by now? Even after official statement its still up on google servers? Sprint didn't get mad at google?? Setup!
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
After tasting dk28 I finally decided to flash back to di18 and 2.1, root and restore my backup. Was like I never left.

That being said when 2.2, 2.3 or 5.3255.. Whatever they decide to finally release I am waiting a few days before upgrading. Flash was nice but that leak was so bad it reminded me just how rock solid di18 was. I hope they get it right, but if they don't DI18 may be the Epic owners Windows XP.

Sent from my wrist watch calculator
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Im on DK28 and have not had one problem,not one,even the checkerboard has dissapeared,or I just dont notice it,never had a FC from anyone of my programs.It does seem hit or miss with alot of people for whatever reason.......One more note about it still being on google servers,its because this really was suppossed to be final,with an update to come within 2 weeks.....now it still looks like RC2 will be ready by 12/20/10,,,there was a DL07/08,but since it didnt go out to test phones it was not considered RC2,so this RC2 will be tested for 5 days by test phones v.4,if this is ok'd,you could see it roll out on Christmas day or a day after...........yeah thats right I said it
