I've downloaded it a bunch of times I've named them all update.zip and always I get this

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

@bnorthrup333 are you sure you're on stock?

[PuPup2004]

So basically it will be clean reinstall? Will I have to reinstall all the apps again and set all the setting for each of them or if there an easier way? Thank you

[qbking77]

@PuPup2004 If on stock, no this will keep all of your apps

[charliet841]

That update fried my phone. I can't root it.

[qbking77]

@charliet841 follow my video "how to root the epic 4g on ei22 gingerbread"

[Kennyglass123]

@PuPup2004 it means unrooted and unchanged from Sprint original software included with your phone. Rooting removes stock app Asphalt.

[PuPup2004]

Excuse me, but what does “on stock” mean?

[Kennyglass123]

@PuPup2004 Google CleanGB ROM BML and flash that over your current ROM to be on new firmware Gingerbread.

[Kennyglass123]

@PuPup2004 No. SRF and Genocide is not compatible with 2.3.5. or 2.3.6. You will need to pick a new ROM and kernel.

[PuPup2004]

I’m very confused right now. I have Firmware 2.2.1, Genocide 2 kernel and SyndicateRom Frozen. I would like to update JUST to the latest Firmware 2.3.5. Is it possible? Will I have to unroot my phone? If I unroot it will I loose of the data and settings? If I unroot it and update it and root it again will I have to reinstall Genocide 2 and SyndicateRom Frozen (I got used to Syndicate Frozen) again? DOES FIRMWARE 2.3.5 WORTH IT? thank you

[PuPup2004]

Is there a way to update gingerbrad on already rooted phone and not loose rooting? thank you
