port back to di18 using odin , in odin mark the options 1) auto reboot 2) debug 3) phone efs clear and 4) update bootloader. use pit file s1_odin_20100512.pit and place di 18 tar file in pda. and flash. after flashing connect to cdma and write the ppp.txt file using nv write , flash the prl and insert your nam settings. as soon as you do this and connect to your google account you will start recieving ota. upgrade it . see to it that your battery is fully charged.

Well, everybody here was noob at a point of time. And to be humble enough, everybody remains a noob till he dies. Hence a newbie should receive a cozy welcome from all of us. Everybody should be given ample chance to express himself (remember, master cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar scored his first century after 17 tests). To my mind, we all are Schrödinger's cats, marred by the famous paradox. Anyways, @Josh Mckinzie, you can follow Rajan brother's suggestions blindly, he'd never suggest you a wrong thing. He is a great researcher.

Update - found another way, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008596 apparently removing systemupdater.apk will stop the prompts so no need to edit build.prop, again please take a backup and instead of removing the apk I suggest rename it so that if you decide to go for OTA you can rename it later on.

^ Welcome, I have just given the generic process, glad to help, but note exact process might be bit different for Epic or other phones. Do remember to take a backup of build.prop before you do anything as without this file it will not boot, and it is must to get correct version of the build, try searching the XDA Epic forums for details of the process.

^ The OTA updates go to cache so if you want to recover 91 MB reboot to recovery and clear cache or use cache cleaner app from market. This would not stop the update reminder coming because OS is not updated and it would download again and try to install, the way to stop OTA prompt is to edit build.prop to show the updated version. Generic steps: 1. In Root Explorer, go to /system/ 2. Tap Mount R/W at the top, then long-press on build.prop and scroll down to Open in Text Editor 3. Once the file is open as a text file, scroll down until you see the line that says similar to: "ro.build.fingerprint" and change the versions mentioned there to the latest build. 4. Tap the back key and say "Yes" when it asks you to save (it will automatically back up the original file for you but better to keep a backup) 5. Tap Mount R/O at the top 6. Reboot Please get exact version details and keep a backup before proceeding.

I request mods to "un"moderate rishi suri... lolz... so that he can make contributions immediately... and guys dont be stupid once again and proceed without taking a nam backup; that is essential so that u have ur min (at least) with you...

@Josh Mckinzie Seeing your posts here in quest for a Very Good CDMA phone... Alongwith that the usual things which reflects from your posts ... Uncertainty, Apprehension, Can I get better, I will do it myself... People may have a self interest in suggesting & guiding... All this is perfectly normal and what we term here as Noob Syndrome... I was not inclined to post but your noob plea and sick of corby touched a cord somewhere and so Let Me try to put in my 2 Dollars (It's not 2 Cents...) with this long post. Read On... Typing so much is such a pain... Still... Drastic Similarity of Optimus One & Fascinate: It seems that Optimus One is your first Android Phone and you haven't been exposed to any other. Read your comments in another topic that you are quite excited about it and consider it as a very good phone in many respects. Now if you are drooling with Optimus One, You will surely reach Orgasm if you go for Fascinate in CDMA. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. It's like asking which will be better... Hyundai Santro or Mercedes Benz... You Know the Answer... Don't You? ... Samsung Fascinate is a variant of Samsung Galaxy S series and the following things sets it miles apart from LG Optimus One... One of the Most Powerful Android Smartphone. ARM Cortex A8 1GHz Processor Incredibly Fast Graphics Processing Unit PowerVR SGX540 Super AMOLED, 16M colors, 4.0" 480x800 pixels TouchScreen.. It's Scratch Resistant Gorila Glass Cover.. 2 GB of Internal Memory 5 MP Camera With Flash 720p HD Video Recording I can go on but it's an experience thing. Coming from Corby and Optimus One... You will be bowled over. So either you can benefit from someone else's experience or Own mistakes which will of course turn into personal experience later on... Lolz.. Protection Plan From Forum Regarding Frauds Etc.. About Hetal Patel (Didn't i tell you about the Noob Syndrome!!!) Two Things... Read the following threads and come back here again... Topic 1 http://www.rimweb.in...post__p__219521 Topic 2 http://www.rimweb.in...ck-for-hetaldp/ Feeling much better now... I bet... How it is all done... 1. You Contact The Seller. 2. Get Details of Bank Account To Transfer Money. 3. Transfer Money. 4. He ships the Phone through reputed couriers. Next day delivery in Metros. 72 Hours Max in Case of Other Cities. And after that you will come back here and thank all of us profusely... Will Stick to RIMweb and wonder why this did not happen to you earlier... Have A Blast... And don't feel offended at all.. This post is written intentionally in a forcefull manner.. For You This May be the First Time Here.. We All Have reinveted the Wheel numerous times... And Still will be willing to do so if the query is well researched, meaningful...

There is an indirect way i use. Download speed test app from the market and do a test. EVDO typically shows a ping time of 200-300ms with speed above 180kbps. 1x will show a ping of 800-900ms with speeds below 140kpbs.
