Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks

You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol
Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?
Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone
Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.

thats the trick thing about odin and epic
always when i have to odin my phone i need to pull the battery and sd card then it doesnt fail
Just got my Epic touch. Came from Evo3d. Love the phone so far but I'm ready to root. Simple question. Should I root while I'm on EG30 or do this OTA update that keeps popping up every 2 minutes, then root? Thanks in advance!

Root before doing any updates, you can thank me later, happy flashing
I just switched from the Evo 3D a few weeks ago myself, currently just running a stock rooted EL29
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Just use the pre-rooted EL29 if you want a stock rooted. There is one that wipes data and one that saves your data. Then if you want to load custom ROM's use this:

And use option C to install a kernel + CWM
Sweet thanks guys. Really appreciate it

So I rooted a couple of days ago. I havent flashed any roms yet. Now sprint is finally releasing ICS tomorrow and wondering a few things:
1. Should I update to it?
2. Do I loose root(IM guessing yes)?
I kind of want to wait for JellyBean....but
Thanks
You will lose root, updating is up to you. If it is FF18 with no changes then I don't see a point to doing the ota.

If you updated to FF18, 99% chance you already have what the OTA would give you.

Well you have 2 choices, maybe 3. Take the OTA and lose root, having to root it the exact same way you would get rooted FF18 anyways (because you have to flash the full firmware to obtain rooted FF18) or if the OTA isn't the same exact build that was leaked you will have to wait a couple days and still get rooted FF18 the same way is.
We do not know for certain the leak is the same as the OTA though it probably is. From a rooted phone you can flash an unrooted tar and root it or you can flash a rooted tar through ODIN. There is no root exploit that will give you root after you take the OTA you can flash it now or you can flash it later (assuming the leak is the OTA).
Rooted FF18 = Taking the OTA is irrelevant in all eventuality.
Has anyone tried the temp unroot and ota root keeper options in superuser?

Well if I understand what you are asking, it's late here so I might not. But I don't think anyone can try that yet as the OTA has not happened( few more hours to go I think) Should start to see it roll out here pretty quick and I would imagine someone may try doing just that.
I would expect a few changes in the OTA since FF18 came out 3 weeks ago. If it happens like the last OTA update, the official will be rooted soon and packed into a tar file that we can flash with Odin anytime we want or we can use it to go to stock rooted ICS. If you want to pass and wait for jelly bean, that could take awhile. You would have to update to the ICS update before you could get the next OTA.
Ok so im on FF18 and battery life sucks beyond belief. I saw sprint announced the FH13 update on August 22 and its not August 30 and I still have not got this stupid update. I manually updated from EL29 to FF18 using Dark_Knights supplied update.zip on Android Central. Where can I get the freaking update.zip for FH13 update?

Datajosh has a FH13 rooted.zip and I believe crawj has FH13 and FH23 ready to go.
Is there a way to go directly to FH13/23 (From FH18), retain root and not lose my data without my phone freaking out?

The link you gave was to fh23. Be sure to read that entire thead. With the no data links, to include fh13, there are some issues.

I understood you're opening post. I was clarifying what the post I referenced, referenced.
In the process of testing something but if you can wait, I'll attempt to locate what you asked for, which I believe is in the fh13 thread itself.
There is a thread that discusses the latest rdf and I believe a user posted the update itself there if you want to go look in the mean time.
:edit: Try contacting crawrj and ask if he may have it still. I believe he did the original md5 comparison.

In looking what you asked for, I was only able to locate the "D710_HOME_SPH-D710.FH13_CL663858_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file that was pulled from Kies.
I haven't located any posts to where anyone pulled the actual OTA update. But that's not to say it isn't here, I just haven't seen it.
FF18 to FH13 update.zip its just 11.5 Mb is way easy and less hassle, someone can just pull the link.
And yes is available now via OTA (11.5Mb) or via Kies (300+Mb)

Ive been hanging onto one since it decided to try and nag me into an upgrade..
It wont fail the flash if you have have script asserts enabled and can pass the ota check from advanced tools.. You just need to temp unroot.
(and we'd be better with my phake Rom as a template... Thats exactly whatt it did.. key libs/jars/apks only and a tw rom is suddenly only 100 mb..

Do you mean FH13? The reason it isn't taking the update is because it has a custom recovery. The device must have stock recovery, and in my experience, no removed stock apps if running stock w/root.

You can just save the hassle of all this stock recovery if you want... by using this one click (non rooted) update to FH13

You should be able to find the complete one click odin method that does not do a data wipe. So of you upgraded to fh13 and want to go back to ff18. Then find the one click no data wipe and that may do it. If you want tl go back to el29 do the same thing. However going back from ics to without a data wipe could prove faulty. But you could odin back to ff18 then do a titanium back up to back up all apps and data. Then do a complete odin based wipe back to el29 then try and restore via titanium. That may give you the all around solution you guys are looking for. But it's all theoretical have not tried this exact method myself but should work.

Is FH13 being pushed by Samsung or something? I was wondering why the notification looked a bit different from previous ota's then I noticed the update is coming from the update Samsung software section and not the update firmware like in the past. Just curious since that option never gave us an update before lol

Honestly I love the idea of Samsung pushing the ota's directly. Something about Sprint I just don't trust. Feels like they just sit on their butts most of the time..
