Don't know for sure but if you are rooted.. Root file explorer should allow you to find the update in the cashe. Copy and paste at that point to get it off the phone....anyone care to help on this cause I can't update cause don't have charger with me. And phone dying. But its being pushed...thoughts...

[Epic 4G General] readermo:
I think you're right, but I went pure stock & am unrooted in preparation for the ota. Would we get the ota, root, grab update from cache, unroot, and then proceed with reboot/install?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
You can be rooted and still receive the update. As long as you don't tamper with your system files, you'll be fine.

Sent from an Epic I haven't bricked yet.
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
Tbtltdts,

Let the update download but don't run it. Then look on your SD card for it. I'm pretty sure itll be on the SD somewhere.
[Epic 4G General] jusez0r:
Looks like no updates till 9pm.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
But when you root, doesn't your phone reboot?

Maybe we can be rooted, just making sure to do no further updates to the phone (remove stock apps) so we can catch the OTA update.... suggestions? or even better, anyone who's done this procedure (DI18) should come and chip in on the process.

If you are stock and rooted, you can download the update, but don't install it when prompted. Use root explorer to copy the update file from the cache.

Sent from an Epic I haven't bricked yet.
[Epic 4G General] hysonmb:
Unless they pulled the update back, it looks like the 9PM thing is a typo. There are people already reporting it coming down. Maybe it was supposed to be 9AM? Either way, I've flashed back to stock and am ready to get the update. I'll check back when it shows up to see if it still needs to be captured.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
UPDATE: 9:00 PM PST per Sprint Forum. Well, no Froyo for me today, unfortunately :(
[Epic 4G General] DevalB:
Nothing here, I Odin'ed back to DI18 and waiting for the push.
[Epic 4G General] NateWhite:
A sprint admin posted this.

"The software is pushed from Google's servers. All upgrades from Google is pushed via OTA. We were notified this morning that it would not post until 9PM PST. The end date hasn't changed so everyone should have received the update within 4 days from today."

I was really hoping to have some FroYo for breakfast :)

Wow 12PM EST how sad....
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I noticed the person claiming to get it says "Updated and then a bunch of my apps wanted to update" - I doubt this is true. All of my android updated in the past have wiped out all of the apps. How would she have had apps that needed updated afterwards? Oh and apps are written for all OS versions and don't change if your version changes. its not like there is an APK For Angry Birds for 2.1 and Another for 2.2

So I doubt that person really did get it. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Right? It's not even 2/21 for EST people anymore. May as well said starting 2/22. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
One of the problems is how many people on here are actually on di18? I know I saw a few but the majority if us are on dk28 and wont ever know if we got it. If its nit posted soon I might flash back as.

[Epic 4G General] djcslice:
Why would they roll out a huge ota update during peak data usage times? We have waited this long, whats another 24 hours? Most of us wont even get it the first day...
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
The person could've meant apps such as Youtube, Voice Search, things like that. I agree it may have been a bluff, but not for this reason.
[Epic 4G General] darrinbc:
I went back to di18 last night just because. Now I am just waiting and watching.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
you sure about that every time i have been rooted i still got notified of an update just tghe verification would always fail. does the sprint mod mean that the ota wont start until 12am tomorrow est?
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
well im on stock eclair unrooted kept it that since day one.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Why even do this update OTA anyways? Why not just post it on the Sprint website so the people who really want it, can download and upgrade themselves? This leaves people who don't care about the update and will most likely be stock and a regular user and it can be pushed to them OTA. This would minimize data usage all together.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
9pm pst is 12am est. fyi
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
You are right. I'm on DK28 as well and honestly I think I'll just wait for the kick a$$ guys on here to take the new update and mod it. That's what we all want anyways. So I'm glad the official update is coming, but i'll be wait and upgrade after its been rooted and ready to really rock. Until then DK28 is serving me just fine. :)
[Epic 4G General] djcslice:
Good question, but they spend so much money building this infrastructure of data delivery, they must want to make the most of it ;) .
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Touche. For a nanosecond I forgot who it was we were talking about.

Can't somebody just tell us what to do

BEFORE

installing the update? if i'm lucky enough to be among the first to get the update, i'd LOVE to help out, but i'm not gonna sit around waiting for instructions when somebody could just tell us already what we need to do rather than begging us to let them control what we do with our phone.

It could take longer to get an update.zip out once a developer does get it cause we don't even know if our traditional root methods even work. If it doesn't it could take a while to get root.

That's the "official" time, but some people appear to be getting the update already. I wonder what the mix up is. It's like their support group has some bad information.

who is getting the update already?
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
you guys really should join the epic chat...theres good info in their

They've been feeding us bad information for months, it wouldn't be surprising for them to have bad informaiton inside the company as well.

[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
Going through the posted thread looks like Sprint is waiting on Google to make the update available on their servers which won't be till 9PM PST tonight.

Here is snippit from Sprint's community site:

"The software is pushed from Google's servers. All upgrades from Google is pushed via OTA. We were notified this morning that it would not post until 9PM PST. The end date hasn't changed so everyone should have received the update within 4 days from today."

Ah well. So much for today's release.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
how bout instead of modding the stock update.zip first you guys post it, stock, for those of us not looking to mod for the time being and just want a stock upgrade

[Epic 4G General] tangstang:
Sprint's preferred method for updates is OTA. The only exception to this is older phones like the BB 8330, 8530, etc. Because it would literally take forever to download without 3g.

BTW, for all of you jumping at the bit to download it, I'd wait a lil bit... just came in to work and we have a soft bricked epic, 'supposedly' he downloaded the update and tried to install it but idk.
[Epic 4G General] carrera997:
Must have been Skrazz... :eek:
[Epic 4G General] Skrazz:
lol caught me! I'm actually a Fascinate owner closely monitoring your update. The same source that said "today's the day" for you all, named the 22nd as ours. Needless to say, it should be an exciting week for Samsung phone owners.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Jeez this sounds like the perfect time for getting a newer epic. One problem though, all the Sprint dealers in Long Beach know me and would think I was acting lame. Might work for someone else though who botched a root. :D

Provided that you've ODIN hack to DI18, copy the update.zip file over to SD card and update from recovery mode. At least, that's what you're "supposed" to do with a update.zip file.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
why is this only 91mb..what I was getting from samsung is 200mb
[Epic 4G General] camarojones:
Oh no...not again, this reminds me of my old Moment days with the Samsung flasher...because that it what it is, however it does show an Epic for pulling the battery out.

Updating it now...we'll see in a sec what exactly it is.
[Epic 4G General] tonysohn:
Yep, should've specified. But from the file size, you can tell it's a mac one. Windows one is over 200MB, and I don't have an idea what the difference is.

Ill have more info when it's installed
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
Samsung update is a glorified user friendly Odin. I found "SPH-D700-EB01-8Gb-REL.tar" in the program files directory. Isn't EB01 not the final release?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Nope, final release is EB13.

[Epic 4G General] tonysohn:
Thanks for confirming this. It looks like they put the wrong characters on the website (KB13 instead of EB13), but it WAS actually EB13. Now their download link says EB13.

Where is this newer one? Has it changed on the Samsung site?

I D/L from the dropbox link (3MB/s!) and it is the EB01

Looks like the instruction link on the samsung site is busted.....anyone able to decipher a good link out of what was posted?

BTW.....fast download.....1 min 45 sec on the Win exe file.
[Epic 4G General] jerbeck24:
Do I HAVE to be on DI18 to do this? Or can I flash from DK28? I'm sure there's a problem with it being script and not edify, but is that the only conflict?
[Epic 4G General] :
I think it is a flashable image, for ODIN. Doesn't matter what version you are on as it will rewrite everything (including your personal details).

Still waiting for newest download myself, the EB01 was a tar flash though
[Epic 4G General] camarojones:
The windows installed is a simplified ODIN program...same one they used on the Moment, and it does NOT care what your running.

All it does is ask to remove and replace battery, do a Querty-1 and Power, then it reloads the whole phone.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
So you lose all your data then? You don't need to go back to DI18?
[Epic 4G General] camarojones:
Correct.

10c
[Epic 4G General] gorby911:
Sorry to ask again, but can someone re-post EB13 for Windows file? The one I got from dropbox was the one before Sammy updated it from KB13. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] jerbeck24:
What about on a Mac? It's just flashable right? Think I could flash over DK28 through CWM?
[Epic 4G General] camarojones:
I honestly couldn't tell you. I imagine that one still looks for a stock DI18 though.
[Epic 4G General] jerbeck24:
Dang...I just can't get it back to DI18. My windows computer crashed last night...classic...do I have any other options? I probably will just have to wait until someone gets something up here. Maybe by tonight?!?
[Epic 4G General] RUMC:
The link has been changed to the EB13, I am downloading it now.

Is this is the exact same update as the OTA? In other words, Sprint bloatware and all?
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I believe that is the case but no one has confirmed that yet. I'm still waiting to see how this all plays out.
[Epic 4G General] jerbeck24:
Seems kind of weird we aren't hearing much at all from all of these people downloading? I wish I could be testing it out, but I don't have any way to ODIN back to DI18...
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
if you use the .exe from the samsung website it will erase all your data and do a fresh install, regardless of what you currently have on your phone.

So if you were going to go back to DI18 anyways, just use the .exe.
