If spring planned on adding id I'm sure we would have seen it any of the leaks. Don't you think that feature would need testing also
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
yep would need testing, personally i hope it doesnt have it, i think its stupid waste of space.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Yes. It takes about four days before the update to be rolled out to everyone. So some people could get it early as the 26th, or as late as the 30th.
[Epic 4G General] ylwsub68:
I'm not hoping for much of anything. There have been so many date push-backs, it's hard to believe anything anyone says anymore, haha.

Plus, I'm running SyndicateROM right now and it runs so much more efficiently than stock. If a rom comes out on 2.2 or 2.3 that can match its speed and efficiency, I'll flash it. But I doubt I'll accept the OTA update when I get the notification, at least not until I see confirmed cases of the update not being a "test build" or a "leak" or something.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
If you get the update OTA, then it won't be a leak, it will be official, and what they want you to run. I also was disappointed when there was I believe the dk28 thread, entitled *official*... and OTA... but that's kind of like how the word 'bricked' is used around here... not always correctly.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
If your friend "owns" Sprint stores he probably doesn't know anything more than anyone else as he probably isn't corporate.
[Epic 4G General] ylwsub68:
Didn't they try to roll it out a few times just to pull it back again?
[Epic 4G General] wckdspdr:
The samsung tablet has DL19 build I was playing with one yesterday it has a few different setting and app drawer is cycling and tv out is an option but it works through a special cable that's closely related to an ipod connector.

[Q] Re: OTA Update DL11

So there is some speculation about the up coming over the air update that may or may not be dropped on December 26th through the 30th. I recently did the one click root which automatically installs the Clockwork Recovery. I was wondering the following:

1) Will the OTA still get pushed to my device

2) If so can I expect have any problems or incompatibilities?

3) Should I expect to have to re-root when the OTA Update is released

4) If I am looking at having to get rid of root, what is the easiest (Most user friendly) way to get back to stock for a newbie?
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
1. The OTA maybe pushed but dont think it will update if your rooted. Update: If u didn,t delete any system apps, it will push fine. However you will lose root.

2. Dont think u will have incompatibilites, since its official update.

3. You may have to root again, unless one of the many great dev on this site, give an update zip, probaly they will so you might not lose root.

4. On the one click root page there should be something to one click unroot, and a flashable to remove clockwork.
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Are you on stock DI18 aka eclair? Or did you flash to froyo?
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
On eclair, stock rom. I never upgraded to froyo. All I did was run the 1 click root.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
No. Ideas like this lead to false rumors.

They pushed TEST versions to TEST phones.
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Then I do believe(someone else correct me if wrong) that you should get the update pushed to you and will be able to update, however you will loose root. But you can eaisly unroot the way 2nd post said.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Watch out; it may brick your phone ;)

Poor Fascinates.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Hmm, so is there a link that has a step by step instructions on how to flash back to stock as mentioned by David?
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Yes you can use ODIN or To AVoid that mess you can flash some zips and use one click unroot.. Let me grab the links...

Here use this to flash stock rom again, it will get rid of root, and return to u to stock rom if you are on a custom rom or whatever also there is a get rid of clockwork falshable zip too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786266

Or you can one click unroot the same place you rooted here at the bottom of the post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

If you dont want to do those methods even tho they are easiest, u can use odin here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 down the page a little gives you a tutorial.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Seriously, you guys are great.
[Epic 4G General] kgbcapthowdy:
ill just wait for devs to get ahold of it and then i will update my modem with odin and flash new build.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Thanks, its just all about reading and being careful when you do these things and make sure you know what your doing, i was a noob to android and now i know what everything does what and now know a lot just by reading all these threads.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Does it matter what order i do the uninstall of root and the recovery back to stock?
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Yes, first do the unroot, however if your just flashing the d118 zip you dont need to do the one click unroot, just make sure u are unrooted by trying to use an app that requires root (ie: Shootme,Wireless tether)

So First flash the d118 Zip in clock work

Then check to make sure it is unrooted..

Then go back to clockwork and flash get rid of clockwork zip.
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
I don't know if its just me or not, but I was always able to use ShootMe prior to rooting (even though I read online that you needed to be rooted, first). I always open Titanium Backup when I am checking to see if I have root, FWIW.
[Epic 4G General] MaxPatlick:
hah same.. I'm already beyond "official" updates.. give the latest hax0red up custom **** by some guy in a basement somewhere (no offense to rom makers, im sure you guys all live very normal, well adjusted lives.. it's just more fun for me to picture you as basement dwelling uber geeks :])
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:

[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
I can also semi-verify this as well. I was on the phone with Sprint's cancellation department to settle an issue. I asked about when the Epic 4G will be getting the Froyo update. He said that they JUST got word that the update would be released anywhere between December 23rd and January 1st.

I got this information last week Monday. So, December 26th sounds very plausible!
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Who cares about the official release of Froyo? We've got working roms with Froyo already...Bring on the gingerbread!
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
official release means source code soon to follow, means devs can do more... am I not right? I also have a morbid curiosity to see just how 'finished' the official froyo is...
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
^This

I work in the main office for a "platinum level preferred retailer" with a number of locations and Sprint doesn't tell us anything. The weekly playbook comes out some time tomorrow. Hopefully that will give us something concrete.

Froyo DL11 coming OTA Dec 26 per AndriodCentral

Not sure if this was posted here or not. I found this interesting. Hopefully this is true and the update + kernel source are right around the corner.

http://www.androidcentral.com/epic-4gs-froyo-update-looking-pretty-good-dec-26-push
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
already posted
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Sorry, didn't see it on here anywhere, even in the thread already mentioning Dec 26. Regardless, its nice to see multiple people are hearing Dec 26 will be the day.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I still won't believe it to I see it even my own source is saying the 26th but this is sprint and samsung where talking
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Very true. Considering what happened to the Intercept it wouldn't surprise me if they delayed it further.

Information is starting to jive with multiple sources though, it seems pretty legit this time, but we'll see.
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
"Per AndroidCentral" - their original source came from here at XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879761
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Not entirely.

They got the information below from a "couple of people"...

"A software update to DL11 (Froyo) is available for the Samsung EPIC 4G via

Google OTA.

OTA Duration time: 7-8 minutes, with installation time of 6-8 minutes.

Customers will become eligible for the upgrade across a 4-day period based on their status with the Google servers.

67% of users are currently on SW DI18 so the first OTA package we will

publish will be an upgrade from DI18 - Froyo (DL11)."

Nothing groundbreaking yet, but interesting.
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
What I meant by ORIGINAL SOURCE is that it came from this forum care of ecooce and defdot80. If you click on the link on androidcentral in the bottom it leads you here:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/49733-froyo-update-epic-dec-26th.html

If you look at that first post by "Chad783" it comes back to XDA. In any case, the whole Dec 26 date came from users ecooce and defdot80 here on XDA.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
I saw somewhere on the sprint website that the epic would get sprint id, but I don't remember where I saw it on the site.
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
didnt look at it like that lol

he was so damn convincing!
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Any bets on how many more sites post articles with this ground breaking news only to end up only having a post on XDA as any kind of source? *sigh* Here we go again!
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
Thanks, but no thanks

Well...

I have three Intercepts in the house that got Froyo Friday night/Saturday morning. Two of them took it fine, one wouldn't boot past recovery. Took the phone to Sprint store, they kept it for about 2 hours. In the meantime I hunted down both the Eclair and Froyo ROMs for the Intercept and figured if they failed I would reflash.

Well, they failed and gave back the phone TOTALLY BRICKED. No power, no nothing. It was today (Tuesday) that we finally got the replacement.

Soooo, I'm excited for Froyo (I've only had my Epic since mid October, but my previous MyTouch 3g had it via Cyanogen)... but I won't be taking the update OTA. Yeah, I'm rooted, Titanium Backup and Clockwork both installed. I'll hold out until source drops and the devs cook up something nice... maybe even a return to Cyanogen for me.

Why they would push an update on a holiday weekend (where support is gonna really suck) is beyond me. If you're gonna do the upgrade OTA, I'd say wait until Tuesday (by then all the weekend failed updates are out of the queue), or better yet, hold out until 2011.
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
HA! Tell me about it. I knew that it would trickle out slowly after ecooce and defdot80 posted those speculations. I take responsibility for posting what they said in the "rumors and speculation" section at AndroidForums.com

Ill be sure to let you guys know what is coming down the pipe next...Ill just warn you that talks of Sprint ID for gingerbread...stay tuned....I wonder where they got that tip from.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
This is a bold face lie. Sorry to let y'all down, but this isn't true at all. Android Central sourced this guy in their articles.

There is already a new ROM, DL15. I don't have my hands on it yet, but I will soon.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
That news is so 2 weeks ago,j/k...Ok so the new talk is gingerbread with Sprint ID,Ill be the first to pass out the date as soon as I see somthing solid,sorry I cant help with software leaks,that will be on someone else.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Whosdaman,If you get your hands on DL15,it will actually be DL11 with 1 thing diffrent,thats an in house build,really no diffrent from DL11,actually will be more unstable,had somthing to do with JIT.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
You should shoot for DL19,that had some nice things added from what I hear...
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
I don't deserve the thanks....ecooce does. So thank you ecooce for all your inside info.
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
So why are they pushing the DL11 update instead of the DL19 on Dec. 26th?
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
This is somthing totally unstable,but has some nice things added....theres no way you see this in 2 months,I say 4-6...add 1 thing break 3,thats the way it looks right now.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
But you are still sticking with the 26th as the release date?
[Epic 4G General] thizzmaster:
meh, i dont really care that much, it would be nice to have but, that nebula rom is hella good for now :)
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:

[Epic 4G General] CJNYC:
Anybody know?

Does anybody know if the upgrade will come with better Exchange support in the native email application? I'm using Touchdown right now, but I hate having the additional, ugly software.

Thanks in advance.

I was excited to see that as well!
[Epic 4G General] dnathan13:
tomorrow? Today is the 22nd so this is 4 days away.

Also this is the development thread so don't you think we already know about this?

Lastly, this has been posted in the general thread (where it should be) at least 3 times already... why come clutter up the development area when you aren't developing anything?

Sorry but who goes in general ha ha...seriously I don't
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I don't know exactly what it will have, but the leaved version of the email app allowed you to move messages to folders. The problem was (is) that it still doesn't know about folders being inside other folders, so when you go to move a message you get a list of every single folder on your account, sorted alphabetically. If you're like me, with lots of subfolders, then you will still be disappointed. If you only have a couple of folders total, then you might be ok with it. I'm still hoping they'll have something better in the official release, though. What I saw on the leak was definitely not ready for prime time.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Lol who honestly cares about the official update? Im running a leak with the nebula rom just fine as it is
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
A lot of people actually.

With the official build of Froyo, we are waiting for full source code for the build, meaning custom kernels and all the good things that come with that.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
helz yeah bring on the official update and source code!

[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Im glad it worked for you, if you have any more flashing questions just pm me or whatever, thanks to all the hard developers making root and flashing so easy on the epic, i consider i know what im doing, however im just scared to use odin but im sure if i follow the directions i wont have a problem. or since that method worked ill just flash zips to goto stock if i ever need to return it. :)
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:

[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
I can....
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
so with the official Froyo on it's way out exactly four days from now what can be done without the official DL11 being out?, and will everyone on the beta DK28	releases have to flash back down to Eclair DI18 to get it OTA?
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
Well dont tell us or anything.... :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Mr.Duck:
if you want to receive the OTA update, then yes you will need to odin back to stock eclair, but i guarantee the developers here will have a rom out within the same day DL11 releases, so i'm not gonna bother trying to get the OTA and wait for our fantastic developers to get something out
[Epic 4G General] Neptune5k:
Exactly. Just wait a little while after the first OTA push, it wont be long before we get a rom that is already rooted, CW, etc. Likely within a few hours, thats what happened with DK28.
[Epic 4G General] dallas90733:
hahahahahahah////lolololololol:d
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I know the one click root with clockwork mod worked on dk28 but do you all think it will work on the ota update as well? Didn't know if there where changes made so the one click wouldn't work? Thanks

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
What does it mean!?
[Epic 4G General] pulser_g2:
Posted in wrong place.

You aren't developing anything, so this belongs in general, where it has been moved.

Old info, which has been posted numerous times if you search.

Search before posting, and post non-dev in general.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Apparently we are in middle school again.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I tried to post up when the playbook finally dropped (about 2 hours ago) but the site was overloaded.

The playbook has no mention of an update for the Epic. It talks about last weeks EVO update and today's BB Curve and Curve 3G update, but no info for us.

If the photo everyone has seen is actually right, then Sprint has no intention of telling their non-corporate retailers anything about the udpate.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Is it possibly that because its dropping the Sunday after a holiday that it wouldn't be in this weeks but rather next? Just a thought but I know nothing about the playbooks.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Merged all the DL11 update threads. Please do not make anymore.

[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
The playbook drops the week before to let the stores know what is going to happen the next week
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
im stock and rooted can i get this OTA?
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
If not, just wait and there will be a way to do it via CW. If you did take it OTA it just might break root.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Do you all think the one click root with clockwork will still work on the official update? I know it worked on dk28.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
so just wait for the one-click for the OTAd version or better yet wait till the devs put it all in a zip.

That photo looks pretty legit. Considering DK28 is/was almost stable enough for prime time, Dec 26th and DL11 makes sense.

Why wouldn't be coming then if you are willing to put money on it?
[Epic 4G General] bgreiwe:
I am pretty new to the whole android scene however I remember when people were speculating on this site before about the release date, someone had mentioned that the push should have to .4 phones a couple days before. Do we know if anyone has seen this? If not, does it mean that this won't be released on Sunday?

Sorry if these questions are stupid. I have been lurking for a long time but haven't posted much.
[Epic 4G General] asrielx1:
Just got an email this morning that there still is no official release date yet. Just a tech in a corporate repair store so you guys usually know as early as I do just thought i'd throw this in here in case anybody wanted to know. It's also not in this weeks playbook or on the coming upates page on RSP (another internal retail page).
