What's what? Lol ROM or odin

Is your phone rooted? If not take it to Sprint. If it is you need to go to the development section and learn what Odin is and does. Odin gives you the ability to overwrite the ROM and Modem. A fresh install if you will. Read the sticky on how to restore your phone from brick.

so after the fresh install then waht will it do? so sprint will root it? Sorry guys im not a big computer guy but thank you for the help!

Do not let Sprint know that your trying to root your phone lol download the newest one click root from the sticky in the development section and read the instruction carefully before doing anything
EDIT: newest one click being cwm 3.1.0.1

Update is launching today!

The latest update for the Epic Touch is launching today(12/7). Some people are already getting the OTA.

The first member who gets the update please post it
Thanks

That's the best news I've heard since earlier....(facepalm)
The bummer is we already have it so until there's a .tar we will still have the modem issue

I think jmejiaa from the other thread has received the update. I have already asked him to post the update.

So if you are on a custom ROM, will the update push / prompt? Or do you have to go back to stock?
Does it matter if the custom ROM is EG30 or EK02 based?

Oh no, I don't have it. Sorry if it seemed like I did.
I'd be glad to grab the update if I am pointed towards some instructions on how to do that. My phone is not rooted it that matters.

You won't get an OTA on a custom ROM

Question: I'm rooted and on Calkulin's Rom. Should I accept OTA update when I receive it?
Does this Unroot or brick my phone?

Will I still get the update even if I did the qbking manual update? 100% stock not rooted.

I think the bottom line is, if you have anything but stock EG30 on your phone (ROM, kernel and modem) the update will download but the install will fail. I doubt it will brick your phone as the update probably does version checks before it starts the install process.
Same goes for people with the EG31 modem. You folks will have to wait for a TAR leak.

theres no proof of that eg31 was provided by a sprint tester so that would mean his phone wouldnt take the ota either? we will just have to wait and see! but you do have to be on a stock not rooted phone and currently the only way to get back to completely stocl is with the eg31 tar

So im guessing a factory restore odin of eg30 is in order.

Yea we'll just have to wait it out then and stick w/ stock kernels for now. So far i haven't gotten a single LOS since flashing it. It's def a bummer tho, I wanna go back to those fancy kernels.

Confused out of my mind :(

Its been awhile since i was online..got the maintenance update i see all over the forums. Iv seen many different replies. I running Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7 which is gingerbread. If i allow the update to download will it brick my phone? i know it will unroot it which really doesn't bother me much since im sure i can root it after the ICS update rolls out or i might just stay stock since my flashing of roms has gone down lately. Any help would be appreciated

Safer to do it in Odin if you want the update.

To put it simple.
If you.are going to be stock and update ota then do it as tmobile says. Lde then ics.
Now if your a custom rom person, then just wait till there is a flashable ics.zip and flash it.

You guys stop being confused. The update will only be available via kies and it does a version check first. It will make you do them in order.. but if your rooted already its dumb to go back for all of that bloated jazz.. just flash custom roms when they are released.

Question about OTA ICS Update

I've searched the forums and haven't found a real clear answer to the questions I have.
First of all, I have the OTA ICS update waiting for me. Right now, I'm rooted running Gingerbread with the stock ROM. I'd really like to install the update, but I've got concerns.
Do I need to unroot my phone first before the update? If so, how? I've read several different articles, but they're all different, and people always have some issue or another with the methods. Is there a surefire way?
I know I should back up my phone, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how! What's the best/easiest way?
I just simply can't afford to brick my phone! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Heres the deal.. If you update you will be fine it will break root youll be on stock ics .
Then reroot and install agat cwm recovery all this can be done by downloading the root and recovery script on your pc.
You can also use odin and download the pre rooted stock ics rom and odin flash it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Back up your apps with a appbackup in market or use titanium backup
To be honest id just download odin
And the prerooted stock ics and flash it
It should have cwm installed after u flash also
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

So I shouldn't use the OTA update? Isn't that the easier way?

Use this link to odin flash the same ota ics update as a rom Via odin
Its rooted and just what u want

Run.. your phone may explode at any moment.
Worse case you will have to re root the phone. Not a biggy tho.. Rooting this thing is exceptionally easy.

That's your JB OTA. You can accept and it will install (if you have a stock recovery), or fail (if a custom recovery). If on stock recovery, you will loose root, but can just root again. If on custom recovery, nothing will happen, but you'll continue to receive the notification until you either have a build.prop that matches the latest base, or flash a ROM based on the latest base. Which is my recommendation. Browse the options available in the Android Development thread, choose one of the LJ7 ROMs, flash, and be happy!
