It doesn't get any easier than going to this thread [Stock Flash][Odin]Dk28 Extended 12/05/2010 inc. Root,GPS hack,Clockwork+Redir. - xda-developers
Step 1. Boot your phone into download by powering off your phone holding 1 on the keyboard and holding power til you see the little Yellow digger.
Step 2. On your computer launch the included odin.exe and select the included victory pit and under PDA select the included SPH-D700-DK28-Extended.tar
Step 3. Plug in the usb cable.(if it's done right you should see a yellow Com device.)
Step 4. Click Start and wait.
That's it. You've got DK28 Release and clockwork preinstalled, rooted, and ready to use.To get into Clockwork, hold Volume Down Camera and Power to flash your own rom. |
I understand what your saying, but consider this...
How about we actually get for once what we paid for. Samsung is bragging how they sold over 10 million phones worldwide and picks and chooses what countries they want to support. That if I buy 2 Epics today, and spend $400 for the phones on top of, a $165+ monthly bill--even before, the per phones 4G tax, that with all that money spent, I still can't do via bluetooth what a 4 year old Sanyo Katana can do without manually modifying the OS in the year 2011.
See your already bought your phone and you're making the best of your situation, it really doesn't help someone that wants to upgrade but has no faith in Samsung to support their product or Sprint to dig in their heels to make them.
We still need the source code to be released for 2.2 to enhance the custom roms anyway, the DK28 is probably as good as the phone
should have been released originally, and 5 months later (today) all the DK28 bugs should have been worked out and the phone really would be in near perfect shape.
Now Samsung is ready to announce the successor to the Galaxy S line next month and still hasn't delivered on any promises to it's previous line, why would anyone possibly give them another dime for the lame support we received from this phone?
