I flashed from DG17 to DG27 through Odin. When the phone rebooted, I automatically got the DI17 update OTA. Then, I updated to DI18 via Odin. OTA didn't go straight to DI18 for some reason.

[Q] will the ek02 update change the android version to 2.3.6 on non rooted phone ?

will the ek02 update change the android version to 2.3.6 on non rooted phone ? or will it just change the modem? thanks
They are separate installs. You can only install the modem if you have cwm and the eg30 modem. And it will only update your modem version. You can install the rom and kernel from cwm or odin and it will update the rest to ek02 which is 2.3.6.

[Q] Ota bug fix

If I unrooted my phone... Will I receive the new Ota on my epic 4gntouch???
It depends, what's your exact configuration? You have to be 100% stock EG30, zimage and all (meaning no CWM) to get the OTA and have it work. If you're on EG30 rooted with CWM, then just flash this in CWM. You HAVE to have EG30, though. If you're just rooted with EG30 (not EG31), however, the OTA should work.
Even rooted and custom-rom'd you will get the OTA update.
Im rooted and running ViperROM, with EK02 modem and I get the OTA notification constantly.

Yeah, I can confirm that ahl395 is right. I have no idea why that other guy is over-complicating things.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ummm, probably because he is right?
Sure you will get the OTA update downloaded to your phone with constant notifications, but if you are not fully stock (can't even have CWM), it will not install properly and you will lose the update. Talking from personal experience when I tried to update via OTA but forgot I had CWM installed... didn't work.
Thank you.
Does this install the ek02 modem as well?

Any advice?

If you are interested in getting the OTA for EG30 you should check out qbking77's youtube channel. He released a video like a day or two ago on how to revert back to EG30 if you are on EG31. He is very very reliable and knows what he is talking about. I always use his videos for my phone. I haven't had any problems because I follow his videos.

I believe he recently released a new video on how to unroot/bring back to stock completely to EG30 so you can accept the OTA.

[Q] Rooting a different Android version

Ok so this might be a long question but here it is
Say if i'm on EL29 rooted and want to go to FI27 or GB27 rooted, can I just Odin the root file of the FI27 or GB27 or do I have to go to stock version FI27/GB27 and THEN root the device?
Since you are already rooted, you can flash the rooted version of another rom. If you're flashing jb, make sure you use a jb modem.
