odin back to stock dI18 then flash the update.zip off samsung's website.
or install clockwork mod (if you don't laready have it) and flash the deodexed update that is in the dev section and the wiki.

I apologize for this question in advance if it's already been answered. Forum & Google searches haven't really given me a clear-cut answer.
I'm currently running Stock DI18, rooted, with CWM 2.5.1 installed.
As with many, I'm patiently waiting the arrival of the Official 2.2 Froyo Update.
Will I still be able to receive this update OTA, or will I need to flash DI18 in Odin to restore Android Stock Recovery in order for the update to push through?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure you have to go back. I have read it before just not sure where!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You will need the stock recovery to OTA, but if you have the patience to wait a bit over an hour from the release the OTA will be pre-rooted and packaged into a flashable .zip
Thanks for the quick replies, folks. I may do the flash. However, since I don't really plan on flashing custom ROMs on this device (My TP2 didn't really give me an option not to), I may just flash back to Stock Recovery and re-root using z4Root.
Does z4Root grant SU and keep Stock Recovery?

z4root gives su (root) and doesn't touch the recovery. I don't know if it installs busybox or not (which may not be important to you)
You can flash back to stock when the update comes or you can wait for the pre-rooted cwm flashable update that will come out within a day of the official release.

Thanks. Just Googled to see what Busybox does, and it doesn't seem like something that's important to me. Only reason I've rooted is to use Wireless Tether.

alrighty, I don't know if there is any other post about this but hey, I want my froyo. So I did a hard reset to my phone using the temp one click root from z4. I received the ota download but it could not get past the verifying mode. What did I do wrong!? Is there anyone out there that can help me with my noob mistake?

Something has changed on your system from stock. Did you remove any stock apps like asphalt?
Have you installed clockwormod? That will stop the update from verifying, too. However, you can use clockworkmod to flash this modified update.

Check your phone info and see if your baseband version ends in DI18 as well as the build number.
I had a problem where the baseband stayed DK28. I had to Odin back with the stock tar file in order to return completely to stock. This also installed all bloatware I had removed.
After that, the upgrade was seemless.
Use Odin. Easiest way to upgrade

I have the new sprint galaxy s2 epic 4g touch that EK02 update and has been rooted Starburst with cwm. My problem is still getting the annoying update messages. any idea on what to do to get rid of these updates ? Previous threads I believe said only if you had EK30.
Roncad
If you installed an EK02 based ROM (or if they ROM disabled the update program), then you shouldn't see the update message. However, the EK02 modem itself wouldn't be considered "updated" by the program that checks for updates, so what you are seeing is probably working as expected.
I'm also getting the system update notification, but I'm rooted and running rogue kernel, eg30 ACS AIO mod. Will the update mess up my root, recovery, etc?

No but if your rooted the update will start and then quit with the triangle, just hold power button and it will send you to recovery. I used tibu to freeze system updater and it seems to have solved the update problem.

If the update actually installed, then it would disable root (until you re-enabled it), but since you have a modifed ROM, the update will fail integrity checks and not install.
So I rooted my brothers evo about a week ago
But now I see there's a new update for this phon so I want him to get the ota update
I do have a backup of his stock rom
So I can easily return to stock
But that won't remove the root so does anyone know if the update will work if the phone is rooted but on stock rom..? If not then can anyone lead me to a thread that I can unroot the phone but not flash any stock roms and just keep mine so I'm just looking for a simple unroot that's all and only if the update will not work with the phone being rooted
Thanks in advance for any help anyone gives me

Heres the revolutionary root/unroot guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245649
as far as i know you can't get an OTA being rooted,unless the developer of the rom implements it into an update for his/her rom.

Hi, So about 5 days ago I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II using the video Max Lee made from galaxynote2root(dot)com, and about 36 hours later I get a notification for an OTA update. I kept off updating because I didn't really know what to do. I'm really new to this and there's still a lot I have to learn. Anyway, I ran the update and it restarted my phone and went to the TWRP screen. I restarted the system and it stopped notifying me about the update. And I checked and it says that my system is up to date. And I also checked to see if I still have root with a root checker app I downloaded, and it said I still had root also. So, was the app wrong and I don't have root anymore? And after I updated should I have restored the backup I made when I originally rooted? Also, thanks for any help, I've looked around and couldn't find anyone else with this question.
Your phone automatically downloaded the update and was waiting to be powercycled to install. However it failed to install because it requires stock recovery to install and you dont have it. So your phone boots back up and all is good with no changess.

I also have the same issues. I did a back up of my original roms and re installed using twrp . I down load the new update and when its going to restart it goes into to twrp menu. From there i am stuck on what to do.
It failed because you're not on stock recovery. If flashing the stock ota, you need stock recovery.
If you have twrp recovery, read and review this thread:

Before I rooted my note I made a back up using twrp. Is that not a stock recovery file ?.
Yes and no. That's basically just a backup of the stock rom that's only flashable via twrp since that is the recovery used to create the nand. So yes it is a recovery but only flashable thru twrp.

Ok well I did recovered using twrp and it installed and took me back that state before the root. I was thinking that took me back to original state and then update . I did download the update but as it was restarting the twrp home sceen would pop up and not update. So now I have no root or new update. Its funny it was easier to root then to unroot.
The link I posted above would have allowed you to flash new firmware and ma7 through twrp. No unroot reroot required. ..
And like stated, you can't update the stock ota update without stock recovery.

There are 6 links on that thread, one for odex and deodex (which I have no idea what it does), and then the 2 links for ma7 one all in one, and one just regular. And then there are another set of 2 links for the kernals, one regular and one modified. I guess what I'm asking is, how do I install these and which ones should I install? I have no idea what any of them do anyway.
How
how do we go about it and what files exactly do we need? why is everyone so vague?

Links go to mystical places with instructions and posts and helpful comments and answers. All you have to do is click and read and absorb the knowledge.

I have flashed over 30 SPH-L900 (Note 2) fron Sprint to Boost.
I do everything on CDMA (paid version) 3.9.
Since the L.900VPAMAZ update I can no longer change the esn to Boost because the 16 digit CDMA passcode is no longer the default passcode for the Note 2. The old pascode: 01F2030F5F678FF9 still works for the Galaxy S2 and S3 but is no longer recognized on CDMA Workshop or QXDM.
If anyone knows the new passcode please let me know.
If I find it I will post it so that noone else has this problem.
Thanks!
