[Q] Update Notification won't go away

I flashed my Epic to EC05 using the official google zip, downloaded from google. The system About Phone shows the following:
FIrmware Version - 2.21
Baseband Version S700.0.5S.EC05
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build Number FROYO.EC05
Hardware Version D700.0.5
So clearly the updated worked, yet I continually get the standard OTA update notification for EC05. When I click restart and restall it reboots into CWM and then the signature verification fails. Anyone know how to fix this?

I would try flashing using Odin and the tar for EC05.
Pretty good Odin tutorial here:

EDIT
Ooops....looks like the tar is not available for stock EC05....in that case...odin back to eb13 and do OTA update to ec05.
EB13 stock tar can be found here:

EC05 tar and Odin instructions still good in this thread:

Cool...didn't realize someone posted such a detailed thread on this. Definitely the one to use.

Can't update to EK02

Stock EG30 can't update to EK02.
Baseband version says:
S710.10 S.EG30
Kernel version says:
2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734
Build number says
GINGERBREAD.EG30
i used the instructions for flashing the stock EG30 [after many attempts to flash to EK02 stock] with ODIN. Placed the EK02 on external SD card and booted into recovery (stock) tried to apply the update and it fails at updating modem each time.
EK02 MD5: 49bc6cab6887015557a4d4950813c554 *182a027d4f63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip
any suggestions or is this a return to sprint repair shop deal?

To flash that EG30 to EK02 zip, you need to have a custom recovery and be rooted. If you are stock and unrooted, check for system updates.

The system update that pops up telling me about a new firmware fails at the same spot updating modem.
And after the reboot I'm never notified of the update again and checking for firmware updates returns there is no new firmware update available.
Update
Just got the phone back from the store and they don't know what the issue is but suggested that i use CWM to do the upgrade. Sadly not even CWM can flash the modem i tried, and they will not warranty the phone because this isn't a problem the phone still works but i can't update the phone to the OTA

The store told you to use a root only function? That is one AWESOME store.
And... is the update the EK02, or the EG30? I can't tell. I don't want to flash the wrong thing. The OP stated they can't update to EK02, but the commenter stated that to flash to the EG30. So which one is it? What is the OTA update?

Eg30 is the stock software and ek02 is the update .Odin the stock tar provided in the link . Update over the air from sprint.

+1.... @OP It sounds like you are making it difficult for yourself and honestly the EL13 with nociq is really the way to go. Or if you are completely stock right now then use this method hereand just flash a EK02 rom. The one thing I can tell you is never go to the store. You dont want them to flag your account and if something bad really happens they blame it on root. I know they are not supposed to but why tempt fate

i had the same problem....i flashed back to stock rooted rom....used file manager to go into the cache file....there is an update .zip file called something about EG30 to EK02...i moved it to SD card...booted into recover (CWM) update vie sd card and BAM....2.3.6....it unrooted me...i used e4gtauto-sfx.exe to reroot

[1.5Qs] Rooted /stock ROM and http://bit.ly/Pl8hMb

If already rooted the stock ROM on a new TMo S3 with the first ODIN-based solution posted (CM recovery), can I use the ROM manager to update the newly released TMo update via stock ODIN flashable ROM with root injected into the system image - TMO T999UVALH2, without having to go through all the steps with ODIN, ...
If the ROM manager is not to be used for root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.tar, then are the steps provided in the link above still useable, even for previously rooted S3?
[OT] After having rooted the phone, checking the flash counter I found it to be 3. Any idea why?

Root66 version is a tar file so u have to update via Odin. Also u need to be on stock recovery not cwm.

... thanks. Would this work?

That's older firmware UVALH2 is the newest "ROOT66 tar" package is the one u want it is the newest and best.

Thank you for the follow-up. Although I am done with the upgrade via the easiest path: Kies to be able to install the latest official OTA-released -> then re-root using the original link I sent, I am a little confused about your last statement: the root66 I have is inclusive of the UVALH2, which is the latest official version, in my understanding. I found a reference to an UVALH3 (supposedly JB related), but that is not what Samsung / TMo delivered OTA lately, and I don't think that's what you meant?!?

Just a small [Q] about baseband....

Currently I'm just running rooted stock, haven't decided on a rom yet, but..
I keep getting this notification there's an update for my phone blah blah.
My current baseband is L710VPLI3
Is there a safe way to update the baseband version but keep root?
Rooted stock android version: 4.0.4

Unzip this and flash in phone slot of ODIN (attached) to just update baseband. To update the whole rom and stay stock rooted then this should do ya

ty sir.

[Q] Do I have the current Firmware?

Sprint Note II: SPH-L900
Version 4.1.1
Baseband L900VPALJC
Build JRO03C.L900VPALJC
I am wondering if I got the latest firmware or update.
I am not getting any updates notifications.
I got once the update notification months ago but since I was rooted I did not apply it.
Also, when the OTA updates downloads, what folder does it go to?
I used a little apps called CheckSamsungFW and told me that I can only be updated with Odin.
I used Odin in the past to root.
Thank you

No the latest is MC2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241136
