I see that we've managed to get our hands on a copy of the EG30 Modem, Huzzah! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381632
That's all well and good, but has anyone gotten the OTA update notification after flashing back? I used Odin to head back, hoping to get the official OTA. (I had previously unrooted and flashed the .tar file to go back to stock with the EG31 modem.
Looking on Sprint's site for the update (Here) I noticed that my baseband version is: S: D710.0.10S.EG30
And the Sprint website lists the official build as being: S: D710.0.5S.EG30.
Does this mean I'm still SOL on an OTA? (I don't seem to get the notification and a manual check doesn't pull anything up for me)
Or can I flash the update from recovery now that I'm on a version of EG30?
Thanks!
Sprint website has a typo. The version you have is what it should be.
They pick the MEIDs to get the update in a pseudo-random fashion.
Oh ok. Good to know. I'll just be more patient then. Thanks.
Can you provide any more insight into the selection process?

I may have missed something, I try to check once a day for any updates on Android development, however, I haven't seen anything about EG31 until today.
Where did this come from? Is this released from Sprint or Samsung? When was it released?
It came from squshy's factory odin tar file. This post explains a little about the versions in that tar file:

So I recently found out I'm unable to install OTA Android updates to my phone if it's rooted.
So what can I do once ICS is released for the GS2? Will there be a download online that I can just flash with ODIN? Or are people going to be forced to unroot if they want the official ICS stock?
Most likely samfirmware aka sammobile will release an odin .tar, so you'll be good to go with odin.

That's not true. You will be unable to install OTA patch-style updates if you have modified one of the files being patched. If you rooted with Auto Root and that's all you did, you will be able to install OTA patch-style updates even without unrooting (though the update will disable root)

I'm sure there will be an ODIN update within a few days or maybe even the same day. You can also flash EK02 and let the OTA update upgrade you (or if you've just rooted with Auto Root, just let the OTA update run), though you are probably better off waiting for an update from XDA, because the updates from here will attempt to keep your rooting and upgrade options as open as possible.
I'll also probably have an OTA compliance check for the next official update so you can tell immediately which files are not in compliance with what the update expects. I have one for EG30 to EK02 as part of the Auto Root package, so it would be similar in functionality.
First rule: Never take an OTA update if you care about rooting.
Any file made available from sprint or samsung will have a rooted/safe version posted in the dev section within a few hours of release.
I know samsung is pretty nice to us rooters but you never know when that might change.

Is there a way to block OTAs? I'm running Calkulin's 2.8 if that matters.

There is a thread on blocking them in the wiki, provided here for your ease.

If you are worried about the OTA messing something up, it'll download and ask to install, but if you've made any changes to your ROM, including installing CWM, then it will fail the integrity check and won't install, so nothing will change.
I don't understand the OP's dilemma. Just wait a couple of hours after the OTA update and get a rooted version of the update... no problem!
It won't be out for a few more months anyways. It isn't even being tested yet. I doubt an initial build is even at Samsung. They are working on the the Galaxy S2 right now(the GSM overseas version). And, I am sure Sprint will sell some other phone with ICS stock before they update ours.
Can you get OTA on AOKP? I switched back to EL29 Gingerbread. But it keeps saying no firmware update is available so I'm just wondering if they would of missed me or something.
I want the update they send out to the phones just incase of anything, such as modems and connection issues.

Any of the custom ROMs built on FF18 will contain the same thing that OTA had - it has been checked against the leak already.
And no, you cannot pick up OTA on AOKP - stock (rooted/unrooted) only.
If you were still running AOPK, no you wouldn't see it. But since you flashed back to EL29 you will get the OTA. From what I've read the OTA is rolling out in waves. Your region may not have had it rolled out yet.
Why don't you just flash the rooted OTA from the dev section??? Again from what I've read there were no changes made to the OTA from the leaked version of FF18. And word to the wise, if you were to take the OTA you would have to root all over again.
If your having radio or signal issues try flashing a couple different modems till you find one the works for your area.

I updated to JB yesterday with the OTA on T-mobile. I am rooted and used OTA root keeper to restore root. I went to change my build.prop file to change the display density. What I didn't do was use the new build.prop from JB. So I softbricked my phone. I restored to UVALH2 and was going to get the OTA's to go back to JB. When I click on "Software Update" it says I am up to date. I noticed that my baseband is still JB's.
The question here is, does software update go off of what is listed for the Baseband or the Build Number?
Solved
Haven't made too many posts where I need to update afterwards. I decided to reflash UVLH2 modem. Once back in phone I went to about device and tried to do the SW update. It prompted me for download.
So, from what I can tell here, OTA are based upon your radio version, to answer my own question. Good day!
Glad you got it figured out. All of that is covered in the Official Jelly Bean thread.
This one is closed. If anyone uses search (ya right jk) and this thread comes up, just go to the above thread.
I just bought a Captivate Glide. I realize it was running Gingerbread when I bought it but all information said I would be able to upgrade to ICS 4.0.
After installing Kies, I find that my baseband does not match the baseband eligible for the upgrade and I have no idea why this would be.
My baseband is i927ruxkj5 and the build is Gingerbread RUXKJ5.
Anyway, does anyone have any guidance for me? I found the upgrade outside of Kies in a separate executable file But I am not sure I should chance that.
Does anyone have any information? Or shall I just send it back, order a new one and hope it has the right baseband?
Thanks, in advance

start reading ..... get odin and the ics package from samfirmware.com. theres tonnes of threads on this already.
you've got i927r (roger) version, only at&t version has official upgrade to ics.
Put recovery(TWRP) with odin, backup efs, instal literom (Base one official ics) from recovery.
