New update?

slevin2k7 · Feb 29, 2012

so got the update at like 5:30 this morning, the difference i noticed was it added an app called boostzone, and changed some of the numbers like android version is now 2.3.6, baseband version is s:m820.07 x.FA19, GINGERBREAD.FA19. other than those thing nothing has changed... oh except when some one calls it looks a little different. So I guess my question is, what was the update for, what did it do?

And I think they are just trying to brick everyones phones! Dx

OMFG THAT WOULD SUCK!

I'm in the process of updating right now and this is my ONLY phone!

Well I thought the update bricked my rooted phone, but during start up when the Samsung logo showed and nothing else happened, I hit the power on/off button and everything is good.

I just answered you in the other thread . The new update WILL UNROOT YOUR PHONE ! Here's a link to install the rooted version .

Dammit. Every time I get my phone where I want it there's a new update. I'm rooted and I don't want to be bothered. How can I decline the update until there's something worthwhile? It pops up every couple of hours.

Thanks.

So has anyone gotten it to root after the update?

soulneighbor · Mar 4, 2012

I noticed the Boost Zone app and the changed appearance on the slide key to answer calls too. Also my wallpapers do not pan anymore as I scroll from homescreen to homescreen. Now I can't see the whole picture on any of my wallpapers... just the. Icenter most portion. Looks terrible. I called Boost and they factory reset my phone which didn't help at all. They blamed google and told me I would have to return the phone on warranty. I'm not even sure who to contact about the problem. Who creates these updates?

I'm upset with google android update. Have you or anyone else found a fix for the wallpapers fix so it well pan from homescreen to homescreen. I have talk to boostmobile and samsung. Does anyone know what was updated. I also hate that boost-zone crap how do you uninstall it. I hate when they do updates. In one of these forms someone saying they are being stocking cause of this new update what are they talking about. My phone was working great until I did this dumb update.

There are tools located in this forum to fix your problem . If you don't like the update switch back to ej06 with Odin And disable the update.

Hey Geniuses ,

So I have rooted my Samsung Epic 4g with Superuser and I love it. Sprint is trying to send me an OTA Update for EL30. I can't accept the update while my phone is rooted as it bricks my phone and I have to reboot. The notification comes up all the time and is very annoying.

Is ther an easy way to unroot your phone, download and install the update, and the re-root?

lol prolly your best bet bro..if your only problem with the phone is the fact that your wallpaper wont pan..good luck to you when you actually run into a real problem

wetbiker7 · Mar 7, 2012

Being a jerk . Listen dude , I'm not the NOOB that jumped in the forum outta no where typing in BOLD RED like we can't read or something . I was just telling it like it is , that's all . If you would have read my earlier post , you would have seen an Odin reference . That might have had something to do me me making the comment about you reading first . Ya think ? I even gave you the link so you wouldn't need to look for it . DUH .

As for sending the phone back , just hope that Boost or Samsung doesn't check your Prevail to see if it's rooted . If they do , you're SOL . Warranty will be VOID !

Cyber , we were just trying to help you out . Take it or leave it . You will not find a better forum for the Prevail ANYWHERE else . If you want respect in here , try giving it first .

truer words have never been spoken... This is the BEST community with only the utmost respect for the respectful. We have come so far with this little phone, and a lot of us have been here learning, trouble shooting, and solving issues since the opening of the all things root forum (or before)
I jumped in around shabby .6 and didn't even join until well after because every time i had a problem, someone else had posted it, and another addressed it... I try to do my best to contribute but you guys are the real stars (you know who u are

)
I have learned SOOOOO much from everyone here from the devs/geniuses down to the noobs who made mistakes I so i didn't have to. Thank you EVERYONE from the bottom of my heart, because of you guysi have a great phone, and a (serious) hobby. I don't know what i would do without you guys. Keep up the good work, and don't let sour people stop you from the continued greatness.
