Froyo EC05 (DI18 users - Install instructions post 39)!

Sprint sent me a text message 5 hours ago stating that Sprint ID is coming soon to my phone. I'm running a very buggy OTA EB13 right now. Here is the exact message:

SprintFreeMsg: Coming soon! Sprint ID on your Epic. ID packs bundle apps, wallpapers, ringtones and more for your lifestyle. Learn more http://sprint.us/id1

yeah i got the same text this morning. No sign of the OTA update yet here. But, im waiting patiently :cool:
 
I haven't seen an OTA update yet, but I did receive a TXT message from Sprint today that said:

"Coming soon! Sprint ID on your Epic. ID packs bundle apps, wlalpapers, ringtones, and more for your lifestyle." Plus a link to some info.

Since this wasn't explicitly stated, I need to ask: will this completely wipe out the phone (applications, settings, etc) to start anew, or will it act as an actual "update," maintaining all previous settings?
 
tempted to ODIN my phone back to DI18 from EB13 but I think I'll just wait. It's a matter of hours at this point. Not worth it for Sprint ID...otherwise if it were Gingerbread then that's a WHOLE different story LOL
 
When I did the last update to EB-whatever, my phone's overall performance slowed way down. Performing any function caused it to have to think for a moment. Many people experienced the same issue. On 2.1, it was blazing fast with immediate response time. This was the only real complaint I had about the first Froyo update. Can anyone with the new update speak on the overall performance of the phone, post-update?

Also, is there instructions on how to Odin back to DI18?

Thanks
 
We just need one thread for EC05 OTA or lack of for complaints.
1. Did you get the OTA? Not me.
Tried the download Kelmar posted and never would finish downloading. SOoooo
 
I'm also really concerned about whether or not the video recording lag has been fixed with EC05. The camera is the biggest issue for me. After that, I'm curious about the checkerboard browsing problem. Anybody hear anything?
 
Okay. Moving into day 4. No update by midnight of 3/24/11 phone gets returned and Sprint hands over a new Evo....:D
 
Hey guys I have the DI18, now does that make any difference or will i get the update as normally as anyone else will? I got my epic about a month ago.

Thanks!!!

man, if you are going to shell out money to get an evo instead, you might as well wait until summer when the evo 3d is released. that thing looks freakin' sweet!!!

Kelmar, that's all fine and good for people who rooted and run Eclair. I'm running EB13 and I don't want to root. Any suggestions?

You don't need root to get the update manually. Odin back to DI18 and use the update.zip afterwards. This will wipe your phone clean, so back stuff up you don't want to lose.

I tried to do this and I got a E: failed to open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed.
Installation aborted

Figured it out. I had to take the .zip off and just left it as update instead of update .zip I don't know if my Windows 7 machine is hiding extensions or something but if anyone else has this problem try that!
 
Except now after the update my phone just keeps rebooting into recovery mode... WTF anyone else have this problem?
 
I think my phone may be bricked... I am trying a stock odin flash and it just gets stuck at the end.......Perticularly MODEM

EDIT: Nevermind 2nd time was the charm.....
 
So has no one gotten the OTA Update? I really want to know who has gotten it so far.. I am located in DeKalb, Illinois, Attending school, so i do get 4g when i'm at home in chicago, i just want to see if there is a pattern in who the hell is getting this upgrade!?!?! Please help! My build is DI18, please help me out here! Not the greatest with the high tech stuff lol.

Thanks.
 
I don't really care for the HD Evo....Too small of a screen to really enjoy HD...LOL

April 1st Sprint changes how often you can get a new phone. There will be Gold= 1 per year. Silver= 1 every 2 years.
I will remain a Silver customer as I don't use all that much talk or data. So if I don't exchange within the next 7 days I will be stuck..... Just wish the Nexus S for Sprint had been released befor then.
Then no worrie about Froyo cuz it runs Gingerbread Also the NFC will be awesome once the U.S. adapts it. No more credit cards, etc.....woohooo

Sprint.com ? Nexus S? 4G from Google
