EI22 to EL30 update zip! How to update, root and review inside

[flyers2114]

First, thank you so much qbking77 for all of the "how-to's" you have developed. EXTREMELY well done.

I have a quick question and am guessing the answer is pretty quick as well. I'm running stock EI22, rooted, with the GPS fix applied (that's was the whole reason I rooted: to get the GPS working). I'd like to update to EL30. From what I understand, I need to:


My question is: if I'm using titanium back-up, and backup my apps and system settings, can I simply do a restore from titanium (apps+system) after step 4 above? Or do I need to go through and set-up all my accounts, apps, etc?

And again, thanks for all that you do.

Yes you should be fine...but data is not recommended always...sometimes causes issues...

I never restore system apps in between versions... That in itself is adding for trouble because if they have changed anything you won't see it..

I have a rooted epic4g and can't update OTA, BUT BEFORE I UPDATE LET ME SAY I AM NEW TO THIS BUT I LOVE MY SETTING APPS SETUP AS IS. IF I UPDATE TO EL30 WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE SETTING, ICONS, APPS, ETC...ETC...WILL I LOOSE THEM ALL AND HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN. TT BACKUP PRO IS NOW $7...I HAVE FREE VERSION WOULD I HAVE TO PURCHASE PRO AND BACKUP BEFORE I DOWNLOAD EL30????? HELP I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE STUFF AND HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN.

Here is the update zip from Google servers to update your samsung epic 4g to EL30 gingerbread.
