[Q] How can I upgrade to ginger bread via the phone? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother started using my old epic and it is running a rooted froyo EC05, is there an easy way to upgrade to stock rooted gingerbread right from the phone?

Yes. Upgrade to CWM.5.0.2.7 in Development roll up sticky thread and flash a GB ROM also found in development subforum.

Thanks, guys...can either of you recommend a stock gingerbread rom that doesn't have too many bells and whistles, also Im not sure what deodexed is.

There is a straight up stock prerooted FC09 deodexed which means it has the odex files combined into the jar and apk files to make it easier for modding and themeing.

Rooted Stock Rom have question? Which one?

I am gonna root using unrevoked 3.2 and just want a stock rooted rom that everything works like 4g etc. Now my question is what is the difference between Odexed and deodexed? Which one should I be using?
thanks

Since you want a stock rom with the ability to use root apps, stick with odexed. There is a ton of info on this site discussing the differences. Just do a search or Google it.

There is instructions on the development section. I'd link you but I'm on my epic, away from a computer.... you are going to have to search the threads for upgrading to ei22 from a rooted froyo rom, its easy though.

Why bother with the OTA? It breaks recovery. Just flash an EI22 ROM. Flash the EC05 to EI22 modem delta if you want that.
Do you have a stock one you recommend? I am looking for as close to what sprint has released as I can. I found the modem, just need the rest of gingerbread now.

Clean GB would be basic. I think the links are still up for the ACS deodexed ROM stock from the OTA. It basically had the GPS fix in it. I am on Legendary 4.01 and it is awesome.

Kinda want to stick with touchwiz (yes I know I am a gluton for punishment). So if I want 2.3 I get this feeling I am going to have to learn this ROM world. Yay...

If you mean you can flash a GB ROM from EC05 then yes or if you mean the EC05 modem works on GB ROMs then also yes. There is a EC05toEI22 modem delta flashable in the Development forum stickies.
Found what I needed from kennyglass 123
One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=deodexed+EI22
Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+OTA+EI22
I got gingerbread loaded I will look into the modem and the gps fixs later.
Thanks guys for your help!

Stock with mods?

Am pretty new to flashing roms and mods. I've did the streak, captivate, s2 lte, and now just got the nexus.
Was wondering if I can just keep it stock and grab pieces of mods and flash em?
Thanks for any answers

Yes, you can use stock ROM, but you will have to get root access and unlock bootloader anyway. Also probably you will want to flash custom recovery which is very helpfull in cases when flashing some mods goes wrong.

So I can keep stock and just get mods then.... hard to choose with all the roms out there. Thanks for the response. Might just try a rom though cause this nexus starts to slow after after awhile

Mods can not be used on stock odexed ROM, you'll have to flash a Stock deodexed ROM, which isn't 100% factory stock. The ROM will be untouched other than deodexing the system files.
To install an OTA update, you must present the stock recovery on the galaxy

Yes, my bad. On SGS2 we had tons of mods/themes for stock-odexed ROMS. Thanks for correcting me.

Check the dev section dude everything you need is in there
sent from the dark side of the universe....
Ktoonsez KT747 will work on TW ICS. I'm using it on AOKP 4.2.1 and it is stellar. You can find it in the original android development section.
what's the different between TW and ICS because there is 2 kernels over there one for TW and one for ICS?
THANKS
TW is if your on stock and still use touchwiz. ICS is if you're rooted and on an AOSP based ROM such as CM or AOKP.
And if i'm stock ics rooted?

Then use the TW version. If you are to flash a new ROM, you'll need to re flash the kernel. Additionally, if you flash an AOSP ROM, be sure to flash the AOSP variant.

[Q]Where to find deodexed att stock rom?

I'm looking for a working deodexed stock [email protected] Galaxy S 3 rom. I would like to use morphology, but the stock rom is odexed. I don't wish to use a custom rom because they only one I like is buggy for me. Any Ideas?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
A deodexed Rom that is not a custom ROM. I'm confused.
I think you are looking for something like this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667
or this one:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38127313/d2att_I747-UCDLK3-signed_12-05-12_JB.zip
but it needs some time to finish uploading.
I guess ehat i want is the stock att rom to be deodexed or a way to deodex it myself. I want to use Morphology but wish to keep most if not all of the stock functions of the phone.
