EL30 system update on custom ROM - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Epic is prompting me to do a system update to EL30 while on a custom ROM. This has never happened before and I'm sure I shouldn't let it update.
What do YOU think?

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.

Updated modem. Was still being prompted to do a system update after two reboots. Froze System Updater using TB.
Am running GleanGB BML with Samurai Seppuku, btw.

All good now? I have never gotten an update notice. Maybe because I update the modem before I ever get one.

Nope. Still receiving the notice. And system updates is still frozen. Weird.

What happens if you accept the update and either pick install later or let it fail?

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.

Yep I did this last night when the prompt got to annoying and persistant to ignore anymore... about 12 hours later and no prompt... so just press install now, let it fail, pull battery and reboot and no more annoying prompt...

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.

Just let it try to install and pull the battery when it fails.
I've never had an update try to install before either.

Updated the modem on my phone a few days ago and still haven't received the update. I have the wifes phone set up the same as mine except for the modem (I forgot to put it on hers) and she got the prompt to update about 2 hours ago. I installed the EL30 modem on hers and she hasn't got the update msg since

El30 update on ei22 cleangb?

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?

He was already on a custom ROM, which means it had K0nane's CIQ removal done to it.

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... I believe root is already included in them so if you just want stock el30 that is the way to go... here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21749005

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

The update to ICS is a pushed completely RANDOM. There's no current way to PUSH it straight to your device. The update is to be completed and pushed to EVERY device that currently doesn't have the "update" to ICS by July 20th. The only way to push ICS to your Epic 4G Touch is to Root and put an ICS ROM on it. Other than that, if you currently don't have ICS and trying to update to it, unfortunately wait patiently. It'll come and come randomly to all Epic 4G touch's that don't have custom ROM's BY July 20th.
Hope that clears the air about this ICS Update. Any other questions just ask..
Why do people want the OTA update so bad? Just use the 1 click its already rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Do what some guy said!
FYI my wife's phone is complete stock and she has yet to receive the update notification. Don't bother with update firmware in the menu, it won't help.

Ok, this stupid update is driving me nuts!

Every 5 minutes I get prompted to install the update. I have done everything humanly possible to get rid of it (to my knowledge and of asking around). Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the update? I don't even know why there is an update when I have a custom ROM.
Rooted Phone w/Blazer ROM 1.6
I even unrooted my phone, went back installed the update, and re-rooted my phone and its still there!
I clear dalvick cache and it buys me another day or 2 before I start getting prompted again to install it. How can I get rid of it, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
And yes, i've seen other posts and did the radio change and other installs as well that were "supposed" to fix it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805618
Try the suggestion there. Worked for me.
Of course, since you're on a custom ROM though, you should make the edits yourself.
I made the change, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, and no update notification since.
On my epic when I had it rooted and was getting bugged by an update (not sure if this will work on this phone) I would let install and let it fail (it was rooted) pull the battery and restart the phone and it would go into clock work and I would restart from there and it wouldn't bug me again till my next reboot.

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

[Q] New GS3 - not getting JB update?

Had my GS3 for a few months and it's been great! So I got my GF hooked up with a Sprint GS3 as well (she loves her gadgets, too):good: but it's still on ICS and not getting the JB update from Sprint. What's the issue? Tried the system update/ reboot / etc. Hers is not rooted. How do I get it to prompt her for that update?
Thanks!
Very easy process, go to system settings, click on applications Manager. You will see tabs at the top (download, running, all). Go to the all tab and scroll down to Google service frame work, click on it and on the next screen click on clear data. Go back to system update, this will show you available updates. If you don't see it in first try, do this for few more time and you will get the JB update.

I have been biting my nails waiting for this update since I got the message about it. Finally got around to check online........
BAMB-updating.
Now for some free tethering to work???? Yeah I want everything.....Thanks for the tip
Why wouldn't this work for me? Is it because I'm rooted?

Don't accept an OTA if you're rooted. If you're rooted just flash a JB ROM instead. If you accept an OTA with a rooted device you run the chance of losing root.

Provided you have a custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP) you can accept the OTA update and it will fail because you're not on the stock recovery. Doing this will also help to avoid the repeated OTA notification. :good::good::good:

worked like a charm.. Hopfully a straight install from Samsung will clear up issues I had before.

Very easy process, go to system settings, click on applications Manager. You will see tabs at the top (download, running, all). Go to the all tab and scroll down to Google service frame work, click on it and on the next screen click on clear data. Go back to system update, this will show you available updates. If you don't see it in first try, do this for few more time and you will get the JB update.

awesome! worked 1st time doing it. I have been waiting for this update for a long time. thank you!
I finally got the OTA update, but it would fail to install. Something about a system 7 error in some divx file. So I said screw it and flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
And rooted again. It was pretty simple
I was getting thst too
