I have no idea how to update to 2.2...
 
I've been out of the loop. Once I get happy with a phone, I stop looking for tweaks. I got a message from Sprint about updating to 2.2 (I think) a little while ago, and it didn't work. I didn't really think much of it, but now I kind of want to.

I'm rooted stock, but I didn't remove any programs. I've been digging but I can't really find a way to just do the normal update. Do I have to reroot or downloading anything, or can I somehow do the official update? I searched for a firmware update and it told me I was updated. Thanks, and I'm sorry if this is thoroughly addressed, but I didn't see it.

If you go into Settings/About Phone what baseband version does it say you are running? If it ends in EC05, you're up to date.

You can just run the DI18 to EC05 update.zip to update.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-epi...-download.html

put it on your sd card named as update.zip and boot into recovery then flash.

Also, you might be interested in loading up a custom kernel with the fixed sound driver, the devs fixed the bass that I remember you wanted :)

Whoa whoa whoa, ok.

1) You're going to hate me but where do I get that? Also, I read some updates wipe your phone, is this one of them? And would that put me on 2.2? I'm super dumb with this stuff haha.

2) How the hell did you remember? And seriously??? You have to tell me what I need to do man.

Follow the link in gTen's post, and no it will not wipe your phone.

I edited it afterwards don't worry lol..I just wanted to tell you the details then went to find it...

After you upgrade you can load up the custom kernels..(as they are for 2.2 anyways)

P.S I remember everything ;)

Ok, so that link will kick me to 2.2, right? I know I'm asking dumb questions, but I still don't know Android unfortunately.

And I hate to nag, but do you have a link to that kernel, hopefully with instructions attached?

I appreciate it man, I really do.

So I tried to install from the link and got:

"E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
