Updated to EI22 today, the most painless update ever. No need to reinstall anything, the radio stayed fine and data did not need to be reprogrammed.

Here is what i followed:

Was on Stock EC05 rooted with sprint bloatware removed

Downloaded this rom put in on my sd card and and installed it via recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579 ( i used update 3)

Got EI22 on the phone with all my apps and contacts preserved. Even the home widgets did not get affected. But the modem remained as EC05 so next step i flashed this zip via recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339401

So now running a clean near stock GB with the latest modem.

Hey Anurag

Can this procedure be done if not rooted? When have you done this? Do update if you face any problems.

Root is needed for that process, without root OTA update can be done though.

You have to be rooted because u need a custom recovery to install the rom.

I did it yesterday and my phone is running faster and smoother then before. Signal strength also appears better.

I recommend you root on Froyo and then upgrade as rooting Gingerbread requires a custom kernel for recovery to stick. The Gps is also broken for which you will have to flash a fix which requires root.

I did the OTA update to Gingerbread for my phone which was running the stock Sprint ROM. After the update installed, the phone keeps rebooting at the start up screen :(

What do I do?

Please follow this thread on how to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337453. You can use titanium backup to remove sprint apps after obtaining root.

Got the OTA update last night. Had a very smooth transition to Gingerbread with stock ROM. Contrary to all the feedbacks, no issues faced so far regarding GPS fixes or reboots. Rather the GPS is more accurate than before. Did not have to reset or format sd card, the apps are in place running hail and heartily :)

The OTA got downloaded using EVDO without prompting, now I have to pay high bills. :(

When I upgrade to GB I will use the ACS ICS themed XDA ROM than stock.

Samsung is terrible at firmware updates, ICS is round the corner and they are still releasing GB.

^^^ better to downgrade to EC05 stock using Odin and then do upgrade.

BTW if you do not find any prob with the current version, why change it.
