So let me get this straight, there is now a developer that has EC05, but you have to register to get it. I tried and get Access denied when trying to download. On a side note EC05 has been released and there aren't 10 mirrors up of it yet? I don't know what is going on with the politics over there, I don't really care or follow it that closely. But what I do know is when I hear that an operating system is leaked I come here to get it. All of a sudden that's not going to happen any more without hoops to jump through, registration and a nag screen for a donation? I wonder if the guys in the Evo forums put up with this am-mature hour BS?

Unfortunately, I've seen this happen everywhere. It is not a Samsung and/or Epic specific issue... Find it hard to believe that with all the different ROM.s for Evo that there isn't the occasional crap about who took what from whom without credit (not that this is this problem). Here, we have someone who got a leak from an inside source and to protect the source, he's done things somewhat differently. Do I agree, well not really sure...I don't want to register to get something (and he is NOT charging) but then again, I had to register to post and get stuff here... So, not that big of a deal. I'm totally happy with ViperRoms BUT I understand what Mammon88 has done and why...but I can see XDA's point too. Just the latest round of politics! If not this, then it would be something else.
Either the stock or bonsai needed off it will work at this point. I'm just shocked that politics are causing a delay in EC05 stock to be put up on these forums. After all it's already OTA at this point. At this point I'll probably wait until tomorrow for an update.zip. I just figured by history it would have already been made available.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Mammon88 can't release the EC05 he has because the digital fingerprints are on the file which would lead back to the person who leaked it in the first place. So the only way to get stock EC05 is to wait for Sprint's release. Glad I'm running Bonsai 4.0.0 right now as I don't want to wait.
just to be honest here, if Mammon can remove the 'fingerprint' from the leaked copy, and put it on Bonsai 4.0, then why can't he release the stock version, fingerprint removed? Didn't he already attempt to do this, but the thread was shut down due to linking to the Bonsai site, which requires registration (not that a mirror is still in the locked thread anyways)? Im pretty sure the registration process does not remove said fingerprint itself.
I have to point out that I think he/they have the right to do WHATEVER they want with the leaked version, as it's not open source, it's a leak... BUT, the whole website membership business is disappointing, yes, it seems just an inconvenience, but if there is/will be paid premium support... it really doesn't belong on here, then does it? Honestly I am just sick of the drama, and apologetics for this whole thing, and I cant imagine what would have happened had it been Noobnl who had the leak, and then proceeded to make such a process... half the members would be asking for his head, no? I don't feel entitled to a thing, but pressure for donations, not to mention having to register for yet another website is not in the spirit of this site.
Why not just post a no-strings attached link here, or even on the Bonsai site...?
I guess demand drives things, as the wait for EB13 prompted half the site to revert to DI18 just to get the OTA and get the update.zip... now it would seem there are far fewer people doing this. /rant

I was just out at the Sprint store the other day talking about just this same thing. Decided to wait a week or so and see what else falls out of the tree. Sprint has lots of new android stuff coming out in the next few weeks.

Politics aren't causing anything. Maybe you didn't mean to come across the way you did but it comes across as "entitled". Bonsai is NOT based on the OTA. They don't have it. There is NOTHING to leak as you put it. If it was then we could flash the modem and not be required to odin. To the best of my knowledge the OTA hasn't hit yet. When it does you will see the posts start popping up. Until either be patient or use one of the EC05 ROMs already available.

Guys please go about your morning. Drink your coffee smoke your butts and relax. The OTA is coming sooner then later. Trust me when I tell you, your phone will function about the same. All this hxoopla over a OTA is comical at best.
Absolutley ridicilous. You all need to chill out relax. And respect the devs who bring you these roms for free. You act like its owed to you or something. Do u not realize these devs do this on there dime in there own time. Relaaaaaaaaaax. Be patient. This has become so ridicilous no one has respect or appreciates wha they do. And those who complain should be baned in my oppinion.

Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread. I didn't see one dedicated to it and it's a hard thing to search.
So the update is available again today, Sunday 8/1. Does anyone know if it's still the 3.26.651.3 release? I installed one of the rooted ROMs and just wanted to know if I need to worry about updating again (to a newer rooted ROM) due to a newer official version.
Thanks!
So, official OTA is live? This is new.

Also, running one of the current ROMs means that you should plan to update. All of them have some kinks. They're very fresh.

No updates available for my phone using the settings..system updates (tho I am on the leaked 2.2)

Htc said the current froyo wasn't final so yes you will need to update again.

Wait. So you installed the unrooted update, then got a notification that an update is ready on the same phone? Should be safe, just make sure the version numbers are different.

No, sorry for the confusion. I have two phones; my rooted Evo and my wife's unrooted Evo. I installed the rooted ROM on my phone. I was curious on Sunday to see if the "official" update was available for manual updaters, as some sources had suggested, so I did a manual HTC software update on my wife's stock 2.1 unrooted phone. I was offered an update for the new 3.whatever/1.47whatever update (I don't have it in front of me)
I'd be happy to upload it, but I'm not sure where's it's stored. It didn't seem to be in the SD card's root, or under downloads. does anyone know where it would be?
HTC's twitter had something to say about an hour ago:
http://twitter.com/HTC
Why "trolling?"
I'd really like to know why someone tagged this with "trolling." What did I do that you'd call me a troll? All I did was ask a simple question about the update I got on my phone on Sunday.
I have to say, while not the most unfriendly place I've ever visited, it's pretty ****ing close. You guys are constantly at each other's throats and constantly insulting each other. I've never seen the word "troll" used as much as I have here. I've never seen so much ridicule and flaming over nothing.
Some people are actually pissed off (and actually insulting people!) because some other users dared say they weren't impressed with Froyo. Are you ****ing serious? Really? That bothers you? Holy ****; you really need to get a life. Others were actually put off by the idea of starting an "off-topic" thread in the Evo group! Talk about not having enough to worry about! I've seen a poster called a fanboy and a troll because he simply mentioned CM6. It seems like everyone who dares make a positive statement about a ROM is automatically a fanboy troll.
It seems like anytime a person other than a developer starts a thread, someone has to say something insulting about the user or impinge their motive behind starting it. I fully expected someone to make a negative comment concerning me starting this thread -- I just didn't realize you'd be such a ***** that you'd have to hide behind tagging it.
The developers seem like decent people, but a lot of you hangers-on are just a bunch of immature, self-important, assholes who seem to feel a need to insult others and their choices in order to feel better about yourself and the choices you've made.
I'm sure this will be considered trolling, but since everything anyone does is labeled as such, it's sort of lost its meaning
We used to have a rule that the first person to bring up Hitler, Nazis, or the 3rd Reich in an argument automatically lost -- it's a mark of a weak intellect and a dearth of ideas. I think the same needs to be said about you idiots who trot out "troll" on every thread. I've been here a month and it's already gotten old.
New people are not going to stick around if you treat them like this.

if you check for updates again can you right down, and post here he name of the update they list?
i do not recall if it gives a file name or revision number.
otherwise you might have to do it on your phone and then use root explorer or something to find the file.
i do not know if it is downloaded as "update.zip" or not.
you can also offer to upload it to one of the many hosting sites that are used here and one of the dev's cna look at it to see if its different than the one from last week.

Good. We are all disgusted when people steal things and try to claim them as their own.
Maybe if you said where it came from, how you put it together, or highlighted HOW it's different from other builds that are already posted, we would be MUCH more receptive... But from your first post, it just looks like you stole it and tried to pass it off as something you built. That is just shameful, and will NOT be tolerated on this forum.
I didnt see any claim of ownership, unless the post was edited.
A history of the files and such of course would be helpful. And credit given to those who actually created the files is a no-brainer.
But still, I know XDA is the "big leagues", but cant we be a bit nicer? For all we know, this guy could be the next big thing. Just saying...
he edited his first post saying that he has a working froyo he never said it was his but it looked like it since he hasn't given any credit to whomever that build belongs to
in the OP he said it was not reef's build. He's not taking credit, but he's not giving it either, which is probably what bothered most of the people in this thread.
Only the guilty run like cowards IMO.

^this, we do it because we have adsense up. i know its kinda sleazy but acs gives its devs phones to work with, like for instance my new photon came from adsense revenue from my work on teh prevail/replenish. so is it an underhand technique to make some money off of work? yea... like its stated we dont require registration.

Shabby,
I will put my money where my mouth is, I really appreciate it. Im going to look for a donate link on your site. (couldn't find one, so I will click on some ads)
Like I said earlier, wasn't sure if it broke rules or not. I just appreciate all your devs work and do not want this to become another epic 4g.
dont go donating yet its a bad habit to start. if you wanna donate, t hen donate if your satisfied with teh final product
Do people usually create threads proclaiming they've achieved root BEFORE they've actually achieved a distributable root? Been refreshing the "GOT ROOT!" thread all day, and now following Shabby's quest in IRC. Kind of funny. Not trying to knock anyone, but damn they keep getting my hopes up!
Seriously...this does nothing for anyone yet because there are no drivers at all.
*Goes to little black book to contact Samsung source*

For the people that are not on G+ or follow a few of the cyanogenmod team members that are on it I wanted to repost what Koush said about an hour ago. I know people are waiting for CM7 on the E4GT but at the same time pestering the dev's is not going to get us anywhere and in turn could get them upset.
Epic 4G Touch Users: The devices were donated to us by RootzWiki, with absolutely no strings or expectations attached. Please stop asking for ETAs, it's extremely irritating and pretty disheartening.
Regardless, for those asking about Epic 4G Touch, here's what has been done with it so far:
The first official template/guide for building Samsung recoveries, specifically tested on Epic 4G Touch:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8296-gui...rkmod-recovery-into-samsunginitramfs-devices/
It also helped add external/internal sd card support in CWR and RM:
https://twitter.com/clockworkmod/status/130005657024856064
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/89ed0b7355e93c145bb40483db5f79766a00e7df
You may not appreciate it, since it doesn't get you CM7 immediately. But this is the kind of work that streamlines the process for future Samsung devices getting properly supported and mainlined.

Just a reminder guys give them time and chill. It takes time to get something great for these phones.

Thanks for the update! just knowing that they are working on it has my mouth watering!
I agree with the op. Bothering developers about it will not get it done any faster. It might them quit working on it. So everyone please just enjoy your phone now and good things are coming to us.

The fact that Samsung can't even get off their ass to fix such a serious problem like LOS much less update their phones definitely makes people antsy about getting AOSP (which also helps bring other development)
Thanks for the update! I really need to follow them on Google+
Koush is the man! Noobs....let him be.
For what its worth I don't think the hangup is Samsung and lies more in the hands of Sprint who apparently have had a Samsung update submission and haven't done anything with it...for various reasons given I don't understand.
In addition to Samsung stepping up their game since the Samsung S's releases (namely beginning with SGS2 they also tried to counter their poor update record.
During the time I had the SGS2 from April through July we had THREE Samsung updates...coming fairly quickly after known issues.
The carrier here is the roadblock.
Lesson? Get the Nexus Prime.

The problem with the idea that Sprint is holding up the updates is three fold:
1) Why would Sprint hold up the LOS fix? They're losing money on constant credits and device exchanges.
2) Samsung has a history, no matter what carrier, of not being anywhere near prompt with updates.
3) Also, why would Sprint hold up updates for only Samsung devices? Other device makers don't seem to have issues.
I think the fact is, Samsung sees the international market as more important than the U.S., and is even less concerned with the CDMA market.
I am so exited! Got my phone and stock drove me CRAZY within a few hours. The folks at CM seriously spoil us. We are so lucky to have them. I don't know why the small group of geniuses at CM can develop a ROM that is AWESOME and the stock ROMs suck so bad. I mean, she wouldn't anyone want to know what their battery percentage is, or have options for their dock and lock screen style, or not throw their battery and performance in the dumpster!
Not only does CM put out awesome ROMs in a timely manner, they do it across like twenty devices and eight manufacturers for free! ! ! Friggin miraculous. Anyway, thank you! Let's not be impatient because the miracle takes a couple weeks longer than convenient.

Why do people bug the crap outta the poor devs. Best thing to do is don't get the device right when it comes out if you can't wait. KOUSH and the other devs have life's. He will bring it in time believe it.

Google is a verb. So true. All my friends and family members probably think I'm an asshole because I google everything on my "google phone" to prove everyone is wrong. Sadly I prove myself wrong too at rare occasions.
Sent an email to Sprint explaining my issues with battery life after ICS update. Here is the response I got. Just thought I would share
Thank you for contacting Sprint. I apologize for the inconvenience that
you have experienced with your phone.
There is no known issue related to the Software upgrade to Ice Cream
Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy SII handset.
Please visit your nearest Sprint Repair Center for assistance and ask
them to perform a diagnostic test on your phone.
To shorten your wait time at one of our stores, you can make an
appointment online or over the phone. It's easy to find a Sprint store
that is convenient for you; simply visit sprintstorelocator.com.
Alternatively, please call Sprint Technical Support at 1-888-211-4727
and follow the prompts for technical assistance. To enable testing, it
is important you call us from a phone other than the Sprint phone you
are having trouble with.
Please reply to this email or visit sprint.com if we can be of
assistance.
Sincerely,
Julie K.
Sprint
not trying to be rude but if you are on stock ics and you are having bad battery life you should probably look at your battery. Don't expect to get over a day with these phones, but stock Ics is pretty good on battery life.
I'm sorry but there is no way in hell that sprint does not know what is going on. They do know what is going on period. One good look at their forums over at sprint says so.
That email you go back looks like a standard form letter ( email ) that they just push out to get you off their backs.
Those emails are automated.
They scan for key-word phrases, and automatically respond with pre-set emails.
I can guarantee no person at Sprint read it.
They don't even copy and paste anymore, just a script that responds!
Are you sure its ICS and not some rogue program you installed?
I would suggest a hard reset and leave the phone stock (IE - not install any apps) for 24-48 hours and see if you still have battery issues.
Or it could very well be your actual battery....
I do know of one issue I have seen with a few ROMs and kernels. There is a issue where if you have the notification light enabled and you get a notification then it keeps the phone from entering deep sleep. Now I will say this issue didn't seem present on stock FF18. If you're not running a stock kernel I suggest flashing Chris41Gs stock SAFE kernel. It doesn't seem to be plagued by this bug. Just something I've noticed and thought I would share.
Need Help? Hit me up on GTalk: [email protected] or find us on the IRC : irc.flux.cd #TeamRejectz
Right there with you
You're not alone. There are a bunch of us having issues with the released ICS. I'm probably going to revert to Caulkin's EL29. That was the best I've had so far. I've talked to sprint and they don't seem to care too terribly much. Initially they claimed a network outage for my connection issues, but when I told them it's everywhere I go the rep didn't have much else to say. It seems that they released ICS without really testing, which is frustrating. This is as much Google and Samsung's faults as Sprints.

I think its mostly Samsung and sprint fault Google has no fault in this update and of course sprint reps and techs not going to care cuz there's nothing they could do plus I'm pretty sure they hoping for Samsung to hurry up with that patch so people would stop calling them and complaining about the failure of the ics update.
Its funny cuz everyone wanted ics people here in xda well for this device was impatient and was rushing Samsung for the update which now everyone is hating it for having issues lol well this is what you get, me on the other hand I could careless for the ota because source was the major big deal once I read that ota and the leaks where the same their wasn't no reason for me to take the ota update then since there's really no difference heck I Odin back to el29 got on caulks 3.0 gb rom and I'm going to stay there till the devs finish compiling or doing what ever it is that they do with source kernel, once its ready and ics roms are better and much more stable with kernel source that's when ill go back to ics I think that's the best idea to do but I know that's kinda hard for some of you flashaholics out there.

Your not being a **** at all its just basically the truth there's folks out here that act like little kids and are impatient to received there candy and mind you the devs that are working real hard shares and make these candies for free, heck I'm a flashaholic myself but I have other hobbies besides flashing that could keep me entertain that's what some of these folks here need if you check the dev forums you'll see so much useless post referring (omg I can't wait for the next update, or omg freaking awesome there's a from update thanks alot I'm downloading now) like if the devs doesn't know that your going to download it I mean yea its good to give your respect and good comments and such but I think instead of cluttering the dev forums with useless non info about issues the bad and the good about the rom just hit the thanks button for these incredible devs.
Geez sorry I just had to rant cuz idk how these mods and devs can handle it

You do realize there were 3 weeks without an RDF? Sprint couldn't take that into thought to make bug fixes? There's plenty of time for us to wait.

I guarantee most people problems will be fixed if they did a clean install. Not many people were *****ing when it was just a leak. When i was running FF18, battery was as good as GB. I got 5+ hours of display time.
I had great battery life on most if not all of leaks. The difference was, I almost always did clean installs. I'd bet the battery issues are related to old GB app data not playing nice on the ICS base, which is why most that have done a factory reset after upgrading to ICS have seen their battery life improve.

couldn't agree more... additionally to vent a little since this seems like a good post to do it in I'm getting really tired constant onslaught of "bug" posts about the stock ics ota... most of them are specific to the user and not an actually bug ( ie "this isnt exactlly the same as it was in gingerbread im anggggry" ) and it doesn't seem to be appropriate for xda... take that sort of stuff to the sprintusers forums, the devs here are not going to be patching the stock ota for you. If you find an actual bug in a dev's rom please use the dev thread to report it, the dev will thank you, and believe it or not this is the actual point of the dev threads, despite what the thousands of posts saying "omg rom update thanx you!!!1!1 flashing now" would lead you to believe ( use the damn thanks button as opposed to cluttering up the dev thread, that's why its there)....ugh, this place would be a lot better if people would learn to use the damn search bar as well, as its not super fun to see the same questions in thread after thread.... also get off my lawn... /end rant

That's the number one thing that annoys me just seeing the same questions after post after post for example look at Chris 41 new thread for his new kernel in the op it states everything you need to know I mean everything and yet folks still tend to ask I feel like if your not going to read then don't flash at all cuz the dev do what they can and post all the info that is needed so folks won't have to clutter the dev forums with the same questions over and over but it seems like folks these days are to lazy to read or are just straight up dumb.

I have stock (completelly stock) EL29 Samsung epic touch 4g and I updated via a sprint update (legal) and my phone reboots constantly and battery life is not that good. I know is not the battery because prior to that I went all day with one charge.
use stock mail, text, phone and contacts the only program not stock is the go launcher.
So I think a clean install might not be the solution.
Hehehe i hope nobody read my pre coffe nerd rage.
Sorry, all!
