Here is the update that everyone has been waiting for At the moment, I'm only providing the modem, and rooted, stock, deodexed version of the ROM. There will be a cleaned up version to go along with all of this in due time, but we're currently working out some problems with it. I would like to note that despite this being the Froyo update, it is not without its own set of problems, and odds are you may never see another update outside of this from anywhere. However, the benefits of getting Froyo will outweigh the problems with it for most people, so have at it.
You will need a few things to get this, first, the downloads list here will be needed (obviously). You'll also need to have CWM setup and know how to use Odin. Heimdall will also work for those of you not on Windows, but I'm not providing any instructions for flashing using Heimdall. Also note that you will want to wipe data or perform a factory reset before booting into Froyo to avoid any problems. While you may get away with not doing it, you could end up with several problems, so my recommendation is to wipe data. Also, you can flash the ROM first, or flash the modem first, which ever you want to do. There isn't really a required order for it, as long as you do both parts.

FAQ
How can I donate to you for this?
You can either click the "Donate to me" button above my avatar, or go through this link. Don't feel obligated to donate though, as Verizon should have given this to you (the users) long ago.
Can I still receive updates after flashing this?
You cannot receive updates after flashing this unless you revert back to DL17, which is the latest official software released by Verizon and Samsung.
If I can receive updates on this, how can I restore back to DL17?
I've been sending this to several people already that have had problems with their phones. If you need to revert back to DL17 for any reason, download this. You will need 7-zip or similar to extract it. Once you have the .tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin via PDA like you did for flashing the modem to get Froyo.
Can I return my phone to Verizon for warranty repair/service with this on my phone?
No. If you need any sort of help with your phone from Verizon, you will need to have the stock DL17 ROM on your phone. Anything else and you have voided your warranty and Verizon and/or Samsung will not have to do anything to help you. See the above question for a package to restore your phone to the latest stock software.
Are there any bugs in this release?
Yes there are, just as there is with any software. I do not know what the bugs are though off hand though as I have not been using this update. I also cannot say whether any of the problems you may have will ever get fixed, seeing as you can't even get a straight answer on why the update has been taking so long.
Is xxx modification/theme compatible with this?
Odds are that it isn't. All of the current themes and modifications for DL17 will not work on this package. They will all need to be updated to be able to work. Given that this is a relatively new release, this could take some time, especially given that it is the summer and people are on vacation (I'm looking at you trailblazer ). We will work though to try and get all of the mods ported from DL17 to EC03 so that you don't have to give up anything to upgrade.
Will you release a "clean ROM" based on this?
Yes, and it is already in progress. I have sent it out to a couple people already to ask for feedback and any issues. Once they say it is ok, I'll create a new thread with the cleaned up version. There is currently no ETA on when it will be released though.
Are there any other kernels I can use with this besides the one that comes with it?
At the moment, there isn't. I'm trying to get a custom kernel to work, but it has some problems. At the very least, we can customize the stock kernel some, but I do not know if a full source built kernel will ever be available.
Can I flash this if I am on the voodoo kernel?
No, if you are running the voodoo lagfix kernel, you will want to disable voodoo prior to doing anything. If you don't, you'll be in for some fun times with Odin getting your phone back in a usable state.
Can I get something included in the FAQ?
Yes you can. Just create a post with the following template, and I'll try to keep the FAQ updated. If I don't see it or add it right away, don't worry, I'll try and update it. If it has been a week or two and I still haven't responded, just send me a message with a link to what you want included. Here is the format to use:

Kudos @imnuts for the effort!
Took about 7 minutes from download to phone setup. There was a short hang at the Samsung screen (approx. 15 seconds) but other than that it looks like it should. All startup animations are in tact..
I just gotta ask, its killing me... Where did this come from?

hey guys,
( I know that there is another thread here asking that same question, but actually the questioner didn't get the perfect answer , that's why I ask this question again, I really need your help )
please I have a problem in my device,
I have Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the problem is when I switch it off after that
the phone will turn itself ON automatically, in another words, I can't switch it off.
please, can anyone tell me the reason or the solution of this problem ?
( knowing that there is no Samsung Center in my country to fix the phone for me)
thank you so much.
Do you have stock, or a custom rom? if stock, are you rooted?

What happens after you do a battery pull? Try that leave it out for a few seconds and see if it turns itself on again, essentially it shouldn't be able to unless your hardware button is stuck/sticky.
Is your phone insured ?
If you are on a custom rom it could be a bad download. Check the MD5 checksums and verify that your download was legitimate. Other than that. If you ARE NOT rooted, I suggest you read MULTIPLE tutorials and root your phone in addition to adding a custom ROM.
May I suggest Juggernaut V5.0. Or if you like ICS I suggest Blackedition or NexusMod
Best of luck

he means that the power button might be stuck. try booting into recovery, and if your phone automatically selects reboot, you know your power button is stuck.
that's somewhere to start.

Give this a go... Back up your device beforehand.
Download Samsung Kies. Put you phone into download mode. Open Kies, and under "Tools" menu, select "Emergency firmware recovery". This will completely restore your device to stock. If you still have issues afterward, its a hardware problem.
Edit: You WILL lose root with this method. But you'll also get a definitive answer...
Unroot it and install stock

I would try flashing a new ROM and especially a new kernel. Try to do it over ADB if you cant get it through recovery.
Hi all,
I have search , but it seems that nobody have this.
Yesterday, i had trying the new CM9 Rom from Modaco ( not so bad), and when I come back with a Nandroid restore to my daily rom, i had lost the volume in my external speaker ( back of the handset)
I don't think this is a hardware problem because , the speaker works , i can hear music correctly, BUT with a very very low volume.
I have try to flash some boot.img with another rom like ARHD 5.2, and do a superwipe, but the volume stay very low.
If somebody have an idea , please help.
Thanks
Edit :13-05-2012
After a lot of tests , now my speaker does not work any more. It is completely mute in all the Rom .
If somebody have an idea : I need to know if it s a Hardware or Software problem.
If is a software problem, maybe somebody knew a solution: HHHHELP
That happened on my first (unrooted) HOX. I plugged some headphones in and removed them and it went back to normal. Never happened again.
Thanks, but not works for me.
This is my third HOX, and now it is unlocked .
I want to be sure that is a hardware problem, if i have to ask to HTC to repair it.
I would suggest using the RUU to do a complete reinstall of your phone rather than flashing boot images from other roms just in case the boot.img's you are using conflict or dont alter the same files.
You could maybe try this though:

I have relocked the phone and install the RUU 1.28, but no change. Still speaker with a very very low volume ( can't hear the ring ).
If somebody have an idea . I pray for that was not a hardware problem ( one more ) of the HOX.

Sounds like hardware to me, the fact it went quiet then gone altogether I would think it blew
Were you running any volume boost apps or anything?

Seems to me that is effectively a hardware problem.
I'm happy to be the first with a speaker problem.
I 'm tired of that phone. 3 differents handset , with 3 differents problem.
Seems to me that the GS3 have a good futur , with the shame from HTC.
Hey guys,
I am newer user, I have a completely stock phone. I was running ICS but once I heard the JB update was rolling out I couldnt wait so I decided to manually update it via the link in the other form. Everything works completely fine. Except for the fact that If I use the app "Draw Something" it blacks out and I can not do anything. Needless to stay I uninstalled cleared cache anything I could to try to get it to work (as I play with the gf ... family etc..) I am still out of luck.
Is there a way I can get it working (which is what I would want) or a way to downgrade (and then maybe wait for my phone to get the official OTA? or do I basically have to root and use a rom now. I would like to stay stock if possible.. I like stock and have no issues with it.
I am also trying to not lose any phone data when making changes if possible -.-"
Is there anything I can do?!
Thanks!!
I do not think it is just you. There reports all over this thread that Draw Something does not work with this Jellybean.
Yeah, My brother wound up getting the update last night (the official one pushed to his phone, not forced) He has the same issue. I guess the best thing to do is wait for a patch..
However your link is broken to me =/ I could not find the thread you were talking about.
Sorry. I tried to paste a link to the search results of a thread but I guess that does not work.
Go to this thread and then use the "Search this thread" search box to look for Draw Something.
I think you just have to wait for an update from the app developer.
Hi all,

After that i tried to reinstall update from kies also it is not sense. Could you help us please. My phone has United Arab Emirates rom
I think i'm going to send the phone to service for repairs.
By the way i might try to flash 4.3 via ODIN, do you think it may cause any problems or trigger knox counter.
Can you please advise?

Yes you are correct but in my country warranty system is different. My phone has other companies warranty. So when i call them they said sent yiur phone to our service. But i think they are not very experience for this issue and they can say this is customer mistake your phones buttons get a damage. Therefore i m sure this is software problem and i m waiting an answer from here. If nobody can find a solution for my problem as a last solution i should sen my phone to service

Try this app, it will not fix the problem but will enable you to use the phone without problems. You may even do so with minimal loss of display space by making buttons overlay the actual display and making them semi transparent.
