Calling all Epic owners running stock! Did you get the OTA update to Froyo yet?

IF you did, state your location, time/date of update, your update experience and impressions so far!

If you find any bugs, please post them on Gten's thread

My phone attempted to update at a little past 4AM. I'm in Florida. Nothing let me know it was successful or unsuccessful; it took less than a minute. Then several of my applications wanted updating, so I did that. I checked and I still had 2.1; restarted phone and still nothing.

I heard that all the original applications have to be on the phone for the OTA update to succeed. Since I got the device in December, I really have no idea what I've thrown out in order to save memory since I can't install apps to memory card. Still. Any suggestions?

Since this is your first just to confirm, you rooted your device and removed the stock apps?

If the answer is yes and you have no backups, then you can always make a backup of your data and Odin to DI18.

Ok guys Im prob gonna go sleep for maybe 3-4 hours...before I go I want to leave you with this, if you get the update I "think" the procedure is like this...

Before you install it..

plug phone into pc with usb debug mode on..

go into the folder where you have adb installed or where you extracted the 1 click root that you might have in command prompt.

then type:

adb logcat >logcat.txt

(it should not give any errors)

Do not close the command prompt window..and find the file logcat.txt in your adb folder, once there start the upgrade download..it theoretically should have the url in there to the zip in the logcat.txt...

URL should look something like this:

Code:

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d700/1506bdf2e04b.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToDK28.zip

(That was the DK28 URL)

No, I did not root the device, I just removed some Sprint stock and other stuff I wouldn't use, like chat things.

And I do not know what Dl18 is....

Yes I realize I don't belong in this forum,

, but I posted over on the Sprint forum about getting the download and was pointed here to give my experience. I really wasn't heading here to ask for help as I'm more the type to read what's already there, but I saw no one had gotten the update, so that's how I wound up begging for advice I don't know how to follow.

Umm, carry on
