No, don't ever take an official OTA on any custom ROM. If you're on a stock rooted ROM (odexed), you can use OTA Rootkeeper to take it and keep root.
As for stopping updates, I believe you can freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup, or it might be called Samsung Updates.
Thanks alot ill look at titanium backup

You can always Uninstall it. If you ever need to put it back, just reflash your ROM without wiping anything. You won't lose anything.
Good idea! Ill probably just buy it for 7$ because I don't see Me going to apple devices so its like 7$ for every phone I get In my life lol

i uninstalled system updates but i restarted my phone and now i still get the messages but titanium backup still shows it uninstalled?
if its uninstalled push update now. let it do its thing it will freeze up. then push and hold til it reboots. should bring you to your cwm recovery. wipe cache and dalvik and reboot system. no more updates
I too have UnNamed ROM. I let the update run and install. It froze when it reboot, but after a restart everything boot up just fine.
after the restart if it didn't boot you into recovery, then just go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. probably only need cache but I do dalvik as well.as long as it is frozen or uninstalled you won't get any update after the wipe. this also means tho you can't use prl and profile updates.
where was this thread 2 days ago! lol. i kept gettin the update message, froze it through TI, was still gettin it...decided to update anyway..(not knowing)...it froze w/ the android guy and an exclamation mark...no buttons worked..took the battery out and restarted and worked fine. no more update messages. lol. im using calkulinsss
ya when the update gets to your phone it stays in cash until its used or erased. if you freeze it the update is still on your phone. if you have a custom recovery like cwm it won't let it go through. the only recovery it works on is android stock recovery. the 3e.
thanks guys this is what i did and it worked:
1. backup and uninstalled System updates from Titanium backup
2. download update
3. got an android guy with ! mark
4. took out battery put it back in
5. the rogue screen came on i wiped cache/delvik cache
can i now re-install system updates in titanium backup without updates coming again

you don't really need the system updates unless youre doing either a prl or profile update. I would leave it out. unless ics comes! lol. it won't harm anything by doing so.
Personally and imo, I think anyone who roots their phone should buy the full versions of Titanium Backup and Root Explorer if it ever goes pay for. They are both worth every penny and purchase fee or donation helps maintain their future updates. I think we each owe it to the Developers to buy this/these product, imo.
Just flashed to unnamed rom, so the consensus is
do not update to EL29... right?
I am using verizon PRL's - I've moved my ESN to 'Pageplus' so the update might mess me up.

Im not able to post in the dev side yet, still working on my first 10 posts. So.. a tiny history, I am comming from 2+ yrs experience with WebOS and pre- & pre2. I am very familiar with customizing with preware, using all the patches & OC kernels.
So, what I have noticed, although webOS & Droid are both Linux based, it seems that they are fairly different when it comes to customizing.
This is my issue, I have a galaxy S2 epic 4g touch (sprint). When I got it, it was on EG30 (2.3.4). I was able to root and flash LOS and didnt have any issues. When the 2.3.6 update was pushed out, I didnt have a chance to unroot, so I ended up having to wipe/restore back to 2.3.4, then I tried to reroot, I got the no wifi and bootloop. I wiped and resotred again, all was ok, and I tried to root manually with the e4gtauto method, that I found for the EK02 stock system. Well, all was perfect, until just ran a backup with titanium, not restore, but just a back up. Is that my problem? Having titanium installed when rooted? I have been trying to follow QBKing77's processes, but need to just have a confirmation on the best process to root EK02 SPH-D710 on 2.3.6
Thanks,

Titanium and root is not going to cause the issue you describe.
For some reason going from los to stock sometimes has wifi issues. I suggest you backup, then odin the eg30 factory restore in my sig
When that is done, do a ##786# reset from dialer and let the hamds free activation take place.
Verify wbether wifi works. If it does apply the ek02 ota update.
Then start restoring your data backup.
Thanks for the response. I have been able to get my phone updated to ek02 with out any issues. As of right now, it is a fresh install with the ota update ran to get to 2.3.6, I have all my apps/data restored. The only thing I want to do is root, install latest cwm, SU, and busybox. When I tried to manually root, it worked perfect, so it seemes, I didnt have any problems until the next morning. I was wondering too, do I need to be rooted already to do a nandroid backup?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic 4G Touch - SPH-D710 using XDA Premium
You need cwm to do a nandroid backup. Technically you do not need "root" to have cwm, but practically if you have cwm you'll probably have added root as well.
I guess I don't understand what "problem" you are seeing 1-day later. You said you got by the wifi problem. Any chance your problem is related to the restore? Are you restoring only user elements or system elements as well?
The wifi issue the ive seen I thought was a common problem with the latest update, but ive found that it is not connected to the bootloop problem. The wifi issue that ive seen is that it stops functioning until you restore back to stock. That is what I have done, reinstalled the stock ROM from sprint, updated to 2.3.6, then rooted. (currently not rooted) but every time ive tried, it seems to be unstable and I end up in a bootloop..
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic 4G Touch - SPH-D710 using XDA Premium
What I want to do is root as stable as possible. I dont have to, but from my experience, the devices are much better when rooted with the added functionality that you have access to.
Question about nandroid backups, does that type of back up take a snapshot of how your device is at the time of backup? Does restoring a nandroid backup put your phone back to the exact state it was when backed up? Root and all with apps and settings?
I want to be able to create a backup where I dont need to manually fix all my apps & settings, or is that even possible too?
Thanks for the help..

If you've rooted using the Auto Root package, there is no chance that is causing your bootloop (nor your wifi problems). Other root methods which involve a new kernel might cause something like that, but not for the general case or many people would be complaining.

I didn't re-read the whole thread to see what root method you used, but that is one of the reasons the Auto Root package exists. A minimalist approach to rooting that uses your existing stock kernel/rom.

It dumps the images of your system/data/cache/kernel partitions. It will restore everything to just like it was, except for the modem, which isn't backed up.
Thanks again for the responses. So, if I am rooting with the autoroot tool, what can be causing my no wifi & bootloop issues? I have tried with a fresh restore (to stock 2.3.4) and then root, and I have also tried a rooted EK02 ROM, both become unstable after resetting..
Im kinda bummed that I cant figure this out.
After it being super simple to root/oc 2.3.4, im frustrated that it is so different now.. :/

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic 4G Touch - SPH-D710 using XDA Premium
Different kernels and OC are potential culprits. With the bootloop, I would think my first suspect would be OC/undervolt/etc. Not all CPUs can OC to the same speed and be stable.
So you factory restore to EG30 then wifi is working and no bootloop? Let it sit like that for 2 days. Then install root using auto root. Again let it sit for 2 days. Then finally start adding your other stuff one by one until wifi and instability gets introduced.
I can guarantee you 100% that rooting using Auto Root is not causing your wifi and bootloop issues. I'm saying this because of analysis of the changes Auto Root makes. It is just adding 3 files, which are mostly DORMANT unless you use them.
Concentrating on root as the cause of your issues is a waste of time. You need to look at the other changes.
Awsome, thanks for the response again. Should I install acs recovery or cwm to do a nandroid backup? I want to make sure I can restore easier than having to redo everything everytime, or is that expected to need to do everytime I "play" with this type of customizing.

Both are fine. Nandroid should get you back to where you started as long as you aren't doing modem changes.
does that mean as long as I back up stock EK02 2.3.6 before root, or does that mean I should nandroid backup at EG30 2.3.4 before root?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 - Epic 4G Touch - SPH-D710 using XDA Premium
Assuming you want to end up at EK02, I would make the cwm/nandroid backup immediately after applying the EK02 OTA update on top of EG30, before adding your own items back.
Run it completely stock for a day or two (however long it too in the past for the wifi/bootloop problem to crop up) If it doesn't show up, then start adding your stuff back in a few at a time. Once it shows up, you'll be able to isolate which most recent change caused the issue.
Awesome, thats what I figured, but I just wanted to be sure, I'll chime back in after I start if I run into problems.
Just to clarify, I cannot back up when I have it all set up with my apps/settings to where if I get a bootloop or something I can just restore with apps/settings restored? or is installing apps manually the only way to get the device back to how you like it for day2day usage?

You can make multiple backups, one at each stage, and restore to that point. The only thing you can't restore is the modem (you can flash the modem by hand, just not from a nandroid backup), but assuming you can get a stock EK02 which doesn't have any issues, then it doesn't matter as you won't care to go back to EG30, so your nandroid backups of EK02 should serve you fine to figure out what is causing your issue.
right on, thanks sf, moving from webOS to android will be a breeze with all of the great devs and such to ask questions. i was fairly impressed on how the development community for webOS was so open and friendly, i am glad to see that it is the very same way over here too!

Hi SF, i wanted to clarify my steps before i run through them. So i am currently running stock EK02, unrooted with plenty of apps currently installed. (do i need to be rooted to install cwm and then run nandroid backup?)
I was thinking my process is as follows:
1 - Backup my app list (I've found Ultimate Backup Pro is very nice)
2 - Remove external SD card and flash back to stock (outta the box) EG30/2.3.4
3 - Update to EK02/2.3.6
4 - Remount SD card, install CWM5, run nandroid backup. Is ACS recovery better?
5 - Root, wait 1 day
6 - Install SuperUser & BusyBox
7 - Start restoring apps a few at a time
? Does it help to reboot after each install for any reason. Also, are apps that require root access the usual reason that cause the wifi/bootloop issues, or can any app free or paid cause the same problems?
Again, i totally appreciate the info you have explained already! oh, btw, Merry Christmas!
see ya

2 - Remove external SD card
3 - ODIN Flash EK02 Factory Restore
4 - Remount SD card
5 - Use Auto Root package - Choose Option A to Root (ie install su, busybox)
6 - Use Auto Root package - Choose Option C, then EK02+CWM
7 - Boot into CWM recovery, make nandroid backup
8 - Run it stock for .5-1 day to make sure everything works
9 - Restore a few apps at a time (making note of what you restored), reboot and run for a little while to verify wifi works and it doesn't get stuck on boot
10 - run like that for a little bit, then repeat 9&10 until all apps restored or culprit found

I was running stock rooted G.B. 2.3.6 and just to see what would happen (I kinda knew already) I did the official upgrade to the ICS 4.0.3. Of course it went from UVKL1 to UVLE1 and I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup and also with Rom Manager. I lost root, because I did a factory reset because it wouldn't install the first 2 times. Oh, I was doing it through Kies. I wanted to do it by the book sort of.So after the install I tried to get root again but when I got into CWM recovery I had no functions working except reboot. No update.zip from sd, or anything else. I could scroll up and down and stop on the different options but when I pushed the button to make the choice it jumped back to reboot and that is all I can get. I rebooted and retried 4 or 5 times and same thing. So, now what ? I like the 4.0.3 but hate the massive amount of bloat and the ads and f**ked up notification popup/ads. I want my root back. I would be willing to start fresh again with a good, fast, everything works, custom ICS but don't know which to choose. that is one of the reasons why I tried this "official" upgrade.

You have to use darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. The regular recovery wipe isn't working properly.

I got it solved you guys. Thanks to all of you.

I was able to after I got cwm recovery old style not touch. Touch was what was giving me problems. So I Odin the new Hercules.tar and then rereinstalled Superuser zip and everything went smooth. The only thing I am seeing as a problem is the phone won't sleep. If I have the phone plugged in, I can't shut it off. It wants to immediately turn itself back on. I like to have it shut down and charge at night sometimes. But it won't let me. Any ideas? Thanks again everybody.
I last updated my Dinc2 to the 4.08.605.3 patch back in October, and haven't updated since then (I'm rooted, so the OTA updates don't come down). I'm otherwise running stock, and would like to update to the latest (6.01.605.05), but to do so I need all of the updates that came between what I'm running and what was just released. I found the OTApkg.zip for the latest release, but I know there was at least the 5.10.605.9 release in between, and I can't seem to find that package.
I know how to strip out the unneeded firmware from the update package so that it won't fail (all I want/need is the boot and radio, and then update the MD5 sums in the manifests), I just need the files to do so. Does anyone have links to (or can post) copies of the older update(s)?
Thanks!

I'd rather not have to flash an entire ROM, which (I believe) would blow out everything on my device and make me start over installing apps and so forth. In any case, applying the updates is something I feel a lot more comfortable doing, since I've done it before, and thus I'd rather go that route this time as well. And Verizon's updates aren't cumulative, so you need to apply one on top of the other.
I'm not so adventurous that I want to completely depart from the stock ROM, but I also want to keep my root
If you are worried about apps and such just backup with titanium.
To my knowledge you could jump from one to another... Might need to wipe in recovery before doing so but you can restore the apps without having to download again... U can backup app data if needed as well...

Oh, I know I can do all that, but it's rather time consuming, and I'd much rather do the work necessary to deal with the upgrade off of my phone than on, meaning a small update and no wipe is preferable to having to do all them backup and restore, even if it means more work on my Linux box...
You can just flash the stock rom posted in development over your current setup only wiping cache and dalvik and you really shouldn't have any problems or have to set up anything again. Just make a nandroid first in case you were to come across any issues, but you really shouldn't have any.

Okay so my sister updated her epic a few days ago, and has been having nonstop problems with the ICS build FF18 there are just so many bugs in this and wondering if there is anything she can do without wiping her data on the phone.
She has two options. After ROOTING and flashing a custom recovery, she can either:
1. Backup all the data she wants: apps, sms, system settings, home screen layout and call log.She can use ROM Toolbox, My Backup Root or Titanium Backup. Those are the best. I personally recommend ROM Toolbox, but My Backup Root can backup sms and call logs.
After that she can flash any ROM she wants and then restore the data of all the apps.
2. She can try to format system only and then flash any ROM she wants. This is the easiest way but it is very risky to do it.
The first method is the most recommended. It is always recommended to flash a clean install.
Hope this helps. You can find all the links you want for Rooting and Flashing in the Android Development section.

About the only option you would have then is using Kies to backup, wipe the phone with a factory reset and restore through Kies.
If you have been reading through the threads, then you should know that the brick bug is still a major concern with the latest ota.
But you really don't have any other option if you're not going to root.

It is the apps that are on there. She has to start from a clean slate. Get Go BackUp, backup just contacts, sms, mms, and call log. Factory Reset. Then reinstall the the apps she wants from the Play Store. This worked for me.

running PAC ROM for the last few months, very few issues. yesterday, phone randomly reboots & stays in bootloop. I manually reboot into recovery, do a clean wipe & re-flash ROM. phone works fine until i try to restore apps/data via Titanium, the phone goes back into bootloop. figured i possibly waited too soon to restore my phone, so i held out until this morning. go to run Titanium & phone bootloops again. but this time when i reboot into recovery & try to do a factory reset, the phone reboots as soon as i select "Yes" & goes back into bootloop. Google produced nothing, help!!!! Thanks.
Reflash rom and try to determine which app youre restoring that may be causing the problem. Do you let apps auto update? Do you have backups set to rerun on a schedule?
You could also odin flash the official firmware and start over that way.

thanks for your response! I believe I found the culprint; a theme I downloaded yesterday. I was able to wipe everything except data & reboot, which caused the phone to "optomize" all of my apps. So far so good, but I'm not so sure if this is a temporary or permanent fix.
I dont auto update anything on my phone. Should I?
EDIT: spoke too soon, phone worked for about 2 hours & went into bootloop while idle. froze while deleting dalvik cache but rebooted & is back "optomizing apps". Looks like I may have to odin flash.

Dont auto update, I was just asking because if you did, it could point to a recently updated app as the problem.
It does sound to me like odin is your best option though.

Wow armond, the EXACT same thing happened to be while running Illusion. I couldn't factory reset in recovery, b/c that led to a bootloop when i pressed "yes". I wiped, cache/dalvik and phone worked for a little, had a hot reboot, and bootlooped again. By any chance are you running Ktoonsez kt747 kernel? And i eventually got it fixed thanks to Doc through ODIN. Best of luck!
