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

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....

I would have to use another rom just to fix it...i just want to restore it back to stock with root but i have yet to sucessfully achieve that....would appreciate that i looked at the videos but none showed how to restore back to stock

U might want to go back as far as d107 or d118, their eclair versions but u could update back to froyo using ota updating. In your case I would start from the bottom and work my way back up.
Sent from my anonymous i3 epic........
I know the rooting method on this phone seemed a bit unconventional to what I was accustomed to coming from a couple of HTC devices, so I'm wondering how OTA updates are going to be affected. Rooting was as simple as flashing to a rooted kernel, and flashing back to the stock kernel. Seemed super simple to gain root. Anyway, I read that there's a fix coming soon for our device that will address reception issues (LOS problems?) and if it's an OTA update, will we be able to simply download and install it? I don't mind if it causes us to lose root because then you could just re-root again--I just dont want it to brick my phone LOL Thanks for any feedback!
I was just wondering this today as well.....
The rule of thumb is never take an OTA when you're rooted. You never know what lies under the surface from what they tell you it covers. It's been my experience that a "safe for root" version is usually out within a half day.
.....
Right now I'm running the Starburst ROM.
What would be the process I'd have to go through to apply the OTA update if one became available. Would I simply have to flash a stock, non-rooted kernel and apply the update while the rest of the ROM is installed?
U cannot have a custom rom or kernel installed for an ota. U probably wont even get the notification on a custom rom. Tje ota uses the stock recovery and it makes sure all of the bloatware is still installed. If its not it will fail. Don't worry bout ota. After it is released there will be a stock tar to flash in odin. Ota is very simple with samsung phones. Just flash the odin tar and you will have the update.

As long as all the bloatware is installed and not deleted then it should work but u will lose root. Trust me ota will be better to flash through odin once the developers root it.

The stock tar that comes from Samsung erases data. Best thing to do would be if u didn't want data erased is wait for an update.zip and flash in cwm.

Hello once again! I am currently on the CleanGB rom rooted with cwm, ei22 and I keep getting a popup asking me to upgrade to EL30.... from what I've been reading its a little sketchy...
Anyways, my questions are:
If I were to upgrade, would I have to go back to stock ec05 and upgrade to ei22 then el30, then root and install cwm again? (And what are the pros/cons)
And if I wanted to hide this update message permanently how would I do that?

If you mean the EL30 maintenance update it is some minor fixes and a few touchwiz changes. I would just kill the update notice and wait a few days for CleanGB to be on EL30 unless you like stock.

The biggest thing EL30 does is gets rid of the battery sucking spyware CIQ!
I have cleanGB and am allowing the EL30 update to fail so it will leave me alone.
When it fails, does it just hang with the exclamation point in the triangle with the droid guy? Or does it actually tell me it failed?

This happened to my wife's epic this morning. She tried to install the update on her rooted epic (no custom ROM) and it gave her a "failed" notice and froze for about an hour. She didn't know what to do so she took out the battery and all works fine now, no update.
I'm wondering if the failure was just because of the phone being rooted, even though she is not on any custom ROM. Anyone know if this is the case?

Yes the keyboard fix probably kept her from updating... there are some stock el30 roms in development that you can flash for in cwm...

Answer：
1. use R.E., remove the files .zip in the directory /cache
2. scroll down the notification bar and select upgrade message, then select upgrade. the phone will reboot automatic.
3. the phone will stay in the screen with an icon, now remove the battery and put it back.
4. press voldown+camera+poweron, boot in cwm, select "reboot...." and the phone will reboot in android. then the notification will never appear.

I know it's superficial but that's pretty much the only thing I cared about for the EL30 OTA. I've been running CleanGB 1.0.4 MTD as long as it's been available with no complaints.
Love that new callscreen though! The rest of my family just got onto my plan with 3 stock Epics for Christmas, and their new call screens make me jealous. Haha!

Mtd is a parition like bml... except with mtd you (the devs) can choose how big they want /system /data and /cache.... and instead of rfs/ext4 you have the yaffs2 filesystem which is really stable... unlike ext4 if you have to do a battery pull you won't get corrupted data like you do with ext4

Do you mean FH13? The reason it isn't taking the update is because it has a custom recovery. The device must have stock recovery, and in my experience, no removed stock apps if running stock w/root.

You can just save the hassle of all this stock recovery if you want... by using this one click (non rooted) update to FH13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033
You should be able to find the complete one click odin method that does not do a data wipe. So of you upgraded to fh13 and want to go back to ff18. Then find the one click no data wipe and that may do it. If you want tl go back to el29 do the same thing. However going back from ics to without a data wipe could prove faulty. But you could odin back to ff18 then do a titanium back up to back up all apps and data. Then do a complete odin based wipe back to el29 then try and restore via titanium. That may give you the all around solution you guys are looking for. But it's all theoretical have not tried this exact method myself but should work.

Is FH13 being pushed by Samsung or something? I was wondering why the notification looked a bit different from previous ota's then I noticed the update is coming from the update Samsung software section and not the update firmware like in the past. Just curious since that option never gave us an update before lol
