EB13 to EC05 Update

Awesome!  I still have to horizontally calibrate it laying on its front to make it re-orientate quickly.

I went to the market and updated some apps and almost immediately I was notified of a system update which I started. Now I'm looking at a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in it above a little green android guy. It appears to be frozen. Is this what the update looks like or do I have to reboot this phone or is it lunched.

Well the phone became a brick. I downloaded Odin and the original software and reflashed the phone and it's in the same state as when I bought it. It's downloading the froyo update over the air now and I have my contacts. I'll have to see what's on the SD card to see what I lost. Then I'll have to figure out how to get all my apps back.

Yeah. My Epic was rooted. After I install all of my free apps and figure out how to back them up, I'll root again. The Odin thing makes it very easy to get your phone back if you mess up. I'm going to look into loading a custom Froyo or Gingerbread Rom now that I see how easy it is to return to stock.

That's good to know, especially since we will probably never get an official version of Gingerbread, I've been wondering how complicated the Odin process was, sounds like it may be worth a try at some point.

From what I read at Android Central you may have a few options, including the following:
1) If your phone is still operational, you can update to one of the unofficial rooted versions of EC05 that are available on AndroidCentral.com posted by user Paul 627g.
2) You can Odin back to stock eclair, then update OTA.

Basically I believe it boils down to 2 overall choices: 1) Unroot the phone, perform the update, then reroot the phone if desired, and 2) install an unofficial rooted version of EC05.

I am fairly new to Android and have not yet explored the options of rooting my phone or Odining my Android OS so if I have this all mixed up someone please correct.

Thanks
