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'm running a rooted epic with Froyo EB13
with Baseband version EC05.
I'm not running a custom kernal
The phone every week will download the OTA update, it obviously wont install, I get the little red triangle after it begins a reboot.
I pull the battery and it reboots into CWM.
How do I get this to update?
Either reinstall all stock apps,and revert your baseband. Or just forget it and odin to ec05

Have you watched qbking77's videos on "How to return to stock"?
No, you haven't. You still can though, and I would suggest that. They are great vids and easy to follow along to. You can pause, stop, even rewind them to keep up
All kidding aside, check them out. It will get you where you want.

You might wanna try to flash eb13 and after you use odin to flash to eb13, connect to wifi and manually update your software via ota to ec05. Go to settings and click about phone then system updates and select update android. This should get you back on ec05. I had the same problem when i wanted to go back to ec05. But i gotta say the second time i flashed ef02 all my functions that didnt work previously now work flawlessly. Although i did redownload the ef02 file again so maybe my original one was a bad download...Good luck to you...Dont forget to update us....

mine did this am too..running cleangb, trying to Odin back to EC05 and then going to root, flash EI22 and see if it lets me update after I try OTA rootkeeper (if compatible with the epic, never installed it before).
Otherwise, trying to remember the root/recovery install method if it doesn't work so I can odin back to stock and hang with the custom roms until the EL30 gets nand-modded Let you know how it goes in a bit..
Try just updating the modem. That should stop it. If not freeze system updates with Titanium or Bloat freezer.

I am on CleanGB MTD with the CrispyClean theme. Yesterday I Odined to EC05 did the 2 flashables to get the modem to EL30 and then reflashed and restored CleanGB. Got the update this morning. The notification was annoying the hell out of me so I just let it try and update. It rebooted into recovery and failed. I pulled the battery, and rebooted and all is good now, no update notification. That was only about 5 minutes ago, so I will let you know if it comes back.
Thanks Coycaine.

Just a quick update. About an hour and a half later, no more update notifications or anything that seems to be screwy. I did reboot just to make sure, and everything is running fine.

Turn off OTA altogether?
Is there a way to turn off this automatic OTA crap? So in the future I don't get nagged about some update that I don't want (or cannot) install?
I'm on a rooted CleanGB and I'm getting nagged by my phone that it wants to install the OTA update. I'm not sure what it will do -- just fail to install and not harm anything?
I didn't even think I would get OTA notifications if I was on a custom ROM.

Is anyone interested in testing a simple cwm update.zip that will disable the FF18 OTA update so it stops bugging you?
I tested the install under EL29+CWM-Rogue but it should work for other CWM variants.
It will theoretically disable your phone from thinking it needs to download the current OTA updates (including EK02, EL29, and FF18)
My phone hasn't been selected for FF18 so I haven't been able to confirm it'll skip that one, but it should.
http://little-melon.com/sfhub/update-disable-ota.zip
There are actually 2 processes going on with the OTA update.
The first process checks with the Google servers to figure out if your phone should download an OTA update.
The second process takes over once an OTA download is complete and starts bugging you all the time.
This will bypass the first process, but if you already have the OTA update downloaded and your phone is bugging you, this won't disable that. To get rid of that either remove the OTA update from you /cache directory and choose to install or press "More Info", then pull your battery. Normally that'll get rid of the OTA update for a few days, but if you run the update.zip above, it should not come back at all (until the next OTA update)

Well ideally, you've already been selected to download the FF18 OTA update.
You'd just place the update.zip on your internal or external SD, boot into CWM recovery (or Rogue CWM), select install zip, choose the file, and confirm.
After you reboot, you should have a /system/build.prop and a /system/build.prop-backup
Assuming you do, the update did its thing.
Your phone should then not download the FF18 update. If you didn't have the change (and were selected for the FF18 update) within a few days of canceling the update, it would download again (slowing down your internet and eating your battery) then incessantly bug you about the update, and I think eventually automatically installing it.
If you were selected for the FF18 OTA update, installed this update.zip, and didn't see the FF18 update prompt for a week, then that confirms you won't be seeing the update again (until the next OTA update)

Yes, the process that checks for updates should tell the google servers you are on FF18 and the servers will tell your phone there is nothing newer.
Is there a way to do this with stock EL29 plus root. I am not running CWM recovery or anything, just stock el29 + root.
I do not want the OTA ICS update.

After it was tested a little I was going to add it to auto root. There is a shell script included in the update.zip which you can run from adb shell
su
/system/bin/sh disable-ota-update.sh
You could also just use Auto Root to install CWM, run the update.zip, then use Auto Root to install stock EL29 kernel back.
I have been selected after going back to el29. I definitely want to try this later however I am being nagged to do the install. So I guess I need to find this file in the cache and remove it.

Place the update.zip on your sdcard, then when it is nagging you, click on More Info, then pull your battery. Then boot to recovery and apply the update.zip.
It should no longer try and download the update and thus with nothing downloaded, won't nag you again.
Works great. I also went into settings and tried to manually check for Android updates, it states that I already have latest version. Thanks!!
Edit: A few reboots and all is good.
Before I nandroided back I tried it out just to see what would happen, everything worked as expected. However, the downloaded OTA file was removed/deleted after applying the patch. And the nag screen was gone. Placebo perhaps?

Once it installs, it will remove the update from cache. That is expected behavior.
If it didn't install right, some time in the future (usually a few days) it'll try again, contacting the Google server and asking if there is a newer update than your current.
Now with the update.zip you just ran above, when it checks for something newer, it will be asking, is there something newer than FF18, to which the Google server will say no, nothing newer, so your phone won't download the update again and nag you, like it would if you didn't run the update.zip above.
Thanks again, sounds like you have it completely automated. Great work! I will keep this a day or two and then move to ics for a bit to test. I really don't expect any issues, but will let you know if I ran across anything.

Don't know what superfreeze does. This just tells google that you are already on FF18 even if you are not. Nothing is being frozen.
