i OTA updated to froyo and my baseband is EB01
but i keep reading that the offical froyo is ED01
can someone tel me what the difference is? i found a thread here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474&page=5
explaining how to get ED01
but i dont understand how i missed EC and ED
since i have a rooted EB01
should i follow that thread and get stock ED01?
thanks guys!
i know some of you hate these kind of questions
but all the same thanks for a reply
Simply put, if you are on EB01 you did not get the OTA.
thank you very much for your reply.
i am going to spend the night reading and learning as much as i can. hopifully i will be able to get to ED01 so i can start trying custom ROMS
but again thanks for taking the time to reply.

Last night I received an OTA which apparently added only two apps the HD camcorder and the task killer... however there's no update for 2.2 anywhere is there a way to download it manually?
Yes. Root it and install a froyo rom from the dev section.

since we all know the ceo's of samsung and t-no, they let us know all the eta's and what they have in the works.
im having the ceo of samsung over for dinner today i'll ask him and let you know, will update with an exact date tonight after we hang out. if not tomorrow im going with the ceo of tmo, his kids and my kids are friends, we're hiutting the batting cages, i'll just tell him to give me the update so i can upload it.

I'm a noob if you can help me with details I would appreciate it
thanks
if you are a noob, don't flash froyo.
It's not really that stable right now, and not worth it.
Just wait till the OTA comes out.
Exciting stuff. Can't wait to hear more details.

OTA is out. YES it is. I have 2 vibrants. Mine was rooted, home screen, super user.
went to install OTA and it crashed. My phone is bricked! The image below is all I get. power on, attempt to vol/pwr and this is it.
That's a little phone, caution sign, and computer.
My other vibrant updated just fine. It was all stock.

Please take 1-2 hours and read these forum threads. Yes it is the OTA update - NO it is not Froyo 2.2 (if that is what your implying)
What you have is a soft brick. From reading this forum I know you will have to use ODIN and flash back to stock.
Can you? Im not sure. Do you have a hardware locked phone? If so did you flash the fix before the OTA update?
The General and Dev sections are loaded with info on how to fix most problems - it just takes time to read them

I was not implying that it was. It does sound like that, I was just mad that an OTA bricked my phone.
I did go through the forums and found one post that worked. I flashed back to stock, and am now back to where I was.
When the official 2.2 froyo DOES come out, will we all need to revert back to stock before the update if we have custom roms for example bionix rom. Thanks

Usually someone here on xda will have a .zip file of the OTA to flash over any rom. But to get the OTA then yes you need to go back to stco.
Stock meaning the official JI6 since that is the most recent firmware update.

If you actually want to receive the update over the air? Yes.
The reality though is a bit more complex. Updates are rolled out in batches, meaning every phone will not get the update simultaneously. Given this, you are far more likely to get the update from HERE than via an OTA in anything remotely resembling a timely fashion.
With the strong likelihood that the above ends up being true (as it almost always is) the answer would end up being no. You're here after all, so take advantage of that.
^ pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Enjoy the custom ROM till we can get our hands on the offical.. someone will upload a stock froyo with root that you can flash just like you did your custom rom. Also, I'v heard really good things about Eugenes froyo that's in the dev. section... I'm patiently waiting, but for those really wanting froyo, seems like Eugene has a pretty solid build now.
Ok, so a couple questions just to make sure my Vibrant is ready to recieve the OTA and install it with no problems.
I'm running KA5, I will use odin to go back to JFD.
However, do I need to be on JI6 to get the OTA, or will phones with JFD get Froyo OTA also?
If you reccomend I install JI6, I can just use kies correct? Basically, Odin back down to JFD, then use Kies to upgrade to JI6, and wait for my Froyo OTA?
I just want to avoid all and any possible bricks that may be caused by me having installed custom roms and leaked roms.
Next question. Once I get the OTA, and it downloads onto my phone, how can I extract the download from my phone and save a backup copy of the OTA?
I wouldnt even go to the trouble man. I'm sure whatever rom you are currently running will be better than samsungs ota froyo update. Wait until some developers get a hold of the source so they can better their roms. It will be worth the wait i know it.
Prepare to wait as it is probably going to take weeks of staggering releases to roll out the OTA to everyone.

just odin back to jfd and then to ji6 and wait. i'm sure it wouldnt take long to get a system dump of the official froyo update. maybe like a day or 2.

This! Wait for new kernels and ROM updates. I'm personally hoping for a voodoo/bln or bln/super I/O kernel... With source many more things are possible.

Exactly man! Super stoked. Besides, regardless if they say the updates roll out tomorrow....They go out across different geo-locations...It could take days or weeks to even get it pushed to ones device. Just my 2 cents tho!
Im sticking with Nero....Im sure someone who gets the stock rom will dump it and upload for people to check it out without waiting haha
Definitely do nothing. Wonder how many phones this will brick.

Agreed. Probably many though most likely because of user error rather than lack of sufficient testing by TMO / Samsung. There may be some legitimate cases but these should very insignificant in number. I doubt they went to XDA, downloaded it all the roms, mods, kernels, etc and said "Let's test it all! We've got the time." I can only hope that all involved from the JFD to JI6 update era have learned what not to do.
Hey everyone-
I believe this question has been posed before, although not for the specific update arriving tomorrow. I was wondering if I should flash back to stock to receive the new update? For some inexplicable reason I really want to receive this puppy directly from Magenta itself, perhaps because its been such a long time coming and I want to see that sweet update option in the settings menu actually work for something. Thanks for your help in advance.

To be 100% sure to that your going to get the ota update you should not have flashed a custum rom. But to have any chance of getting an ota yes you should return to stock. I would just wait and grab a flashable or tar version off here when it comes out.
Fear the beard...
How would returning back to stock give me any less chance of recieving the OTA than someone who hadn't rooted and flashed a custom rom on their phone? Unless t-mobile can somehow tell the difference wirelessly between a rooted and non-rooted phone. Just curious, thanks.
Are you currently running a ROM? Yes? Then you're not missing anything. Trust me, wait for the devs. If they get source then you'll be flashing updates by tomorrow night. Pretty sure the stock release will be behind the curve anyway; that or it's KA6... Imo.
Yeah, tbh the nero v5.something ROM I'm running now is probably miles better than the new stock update anyway, lol. If only samsung would actually partner with these devs unofficially to help spur along development. Sighhhhhh....
Patience bobo.... Patience.
U guys r idiots. Sorry for saying that I'm tired of people saying neros better than official.
No its not.
Neros based on a ecalir base, with froyo leaks from samsung.
If there was a official these roms would go from fast to HOLY ****!
Samsung is needed.
Devs modify.
Samsung creates.
To be sure to receive the update, Odin back to stock JDF or JI6. However if you already flashed, probably you will get it faster if you wait for the download link tomorrow, I bet you it will be up before night.....
It is probably the KA6 release anyway, that was posted here Yesterday

Chill the fudge out mayn, You cant even say that yet. Yeah Nero is based off of eclair and what? TW did more with eclair than samsung has. Besides, for all we know samsung is still implementing their RFS file system. Samsung creates source. that is all.
