Had a problem with the download, can't open. Maybe I'm better off. If you don't install right your phone will be a brick!

I don't anything about a zip file. I don't know how to extract it. Are we going to get an update on our phones to upgrade to the ED 05?

Thank you

The only thing we can go by is past history, every update that Verizon releases is first leaked to developers, my opinion is that this is done on purpose, Verizon can monitor response and results. It is a free and easy way of doing product testing. So if indeed a build called ED05 has been leaked and used by developers, if the results are encouraging it will be officially released by Verizon.

I Think you may be right

This is the best build I have had on my Phone Period it is better than 2.1 eclair that it Came with when it was new

My phone has been on 11 hours and I have had light use few calls and email and I am still at 90%

Hey Wardcst24, why dont you write out a more simplified instruction to get this update. That link you posted is for the the text savy phone owners. Most on this forum are not that tech savy. All that link says is download this , download that  but doesn't clarify how and where to get the drivers from. Hey you created most of these missed call threads, why don't you do us that favor. Please.

I am with you. I don't know the first thing about this. I too would appreciate better directions to get this update. I will just wait for Verizon to send it to my phone and do it from there.

Thank you.

HI SFObrien, 

 

I have great news!! The ED05 update was released today! This is not an update to the Gingerbread software, but will correct many of the issues this device is experiencing by updating from the ED04 to the ED05 software. Below I have provided a link so you can update your phone right away.

 

http://support.vzw.com/system_update/samsung_fascinate.html

 

I hope this information is helpful and addresses your concerns surrounding the Samsung Fascinate. Have a wonderful day!
