I'm on the newest blukuban rom and El29 modem S710.10 S.EL29 and the newest EL29 kernel Whitman from steady. Even with all this I still keep getting an update notice saying I have to download the EL29 BugFix Update. What is the bug fix update? And why does it keep asking me about it.

Is this the voicemail bug fix update?
Dunno man. My only guess is your phone thinks you haven't updated to the latest firmware version. You might try booting into CWM and wipe your caches.

It could very well be the voicemail update. I actually just checked the Sprint voicemail app after reading this and there is an update for it. try updating it and see if it goes away.
Edit
Just to post it. I had my vm app updated (unless I actually forgot for some odd reason on a re install) The version for the vm I just got is T.5.2.0.26
Yeah i dont think its the voicemail update. it says EL29 bugfix. I dont think it has anything to do with voicemail.

EL29 Bug Fix is the OTA Firmware update. You would not be seeing it if you were actually on EL29 just flashing the modem and kernel or custom kernel is a little lacking in that regard.
Being that your on a custom and possibly more do not do the OTA update, can end up with a nice brick. I never looked into it but you can find a thread on how to stop the update messages if you dont want to change anything.
Putting any EL29 rom should be good enough to stop it as well as be on EL29 but you dont have to do the OTA style since it means going back to EK02. Sfhub has a One Click ODIN for it with a nodata version if you prefer or a full, that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 That particular method still requires you to either flash a kernel with custom recovery if u want it or use sfhubs method for such if you like otherwise stock.

I thought this phone was on 2.3, but it was on 2.1 (or 2.2) DI18. I updated CWM to 5.0.2.7 and then flashed CleanGB MTD.
When I reboot, I cannot get service, and airplane mode switches really fast between on and off.
I believe it may be the modem, so I am trying to upgrade the modem from DI18 to EC05 so I can update to EL30. However, the current DI18 to ECO5 flashable zip I have is giving me an error (Status 7).
Aside from from the modem, any other thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks.

You can just flash a modem through odin . I think the newest official tar is el30 so here it is : EL30 Modem.tar place this in the PDA box in odin make sure nothing but auto-reboot is checked and hit start. Make sure you have a trusty cable and not a stock one. You could also need to update your prl as well as your profile so do that wait a minute or so and reboot the phone. You can do this in the about phone section where it says updates or something similar.. i dont know cuz im on cm9
It could also be a bad download of CleanGb so you can always try redownloading and reflashing that.

I would say coming from Eclair, he might want to stick to official 2.3 Touchwiz for awhile rather than go to AOSP ROMs.
Hm
No matter what you choose to flash, I would of Odin'd the latest Official Tar, and then done a profile update, prl update, etc. THEN Flash the rom/poison of your choice. IF you do end up going to whatever MTD rom, there's an EL30 SD Temp flashable build on Epic CM9 Blog that can let you update your profile on MTD Roms that support kexec, which I think most, if not all, do by now. That way you can update your profile, prl, etc without having to Odin back. Glad to hear that a modem update fixed it!

Its not unstable at all its come a LONG way since alpha. I personally run aokp 31 with my samurai kernel because aokp has more options than cm9. But both are equal in stablilty =].

Pardon my ignorance but I'm still on stock rooted GB from sfhub original cwm flash. I have yet to take the plunge to ics because I don't want to flash to el26 to go to ics and all of this to prevent bricking my phone.* I thought I read once the official kernal is released this bug will not exist and this will not be necessary. I was just waiting for the official release to upgrade. It appears now that has / will be released today.
I have never used odin before but this looks like I don't have to worry about bricking my phone with it correct? I see that sfhub has a one click odin of FF18 with root. If I just want to upgrade I can just use the no data? If I want to start clean I guess I should factory reset then flash full data.?
My phone drives me insane with the phantom SMS bug that I still have.* Sometimes I have to reboot to find that I'm missing txt messages amd then the battery level just plunges. I also have a hard time getting a GPS lock. I'm hoping this update helps.

That is correct you can use the one-click to update and it's known to be safe. just don't unplug the cable until the phone reboots. also have you thought about upgrading your modem? there are flashable zips. I'm running the FF18 modem and its working better than the stock EL29 modem. I wanted to wait for the upgrade, but i went ahead and flashed an ICS rom yesterday.
Now that the source is released does this mean the emmc bug is to be removed and it will be safer to flash more ics / asop roms?

It appears that way. I know reading yesterday that they are working on it. With the source code they can fix/modify the eMMC issue.

Looks like they fixed it. but it can only be used for TW based roms

I can just odin over my EL29 root and have it update to ICS FF18? Just want to be sure before I do it.

You can ODIN FF18 over anything on the phone. The No Data package will be just like the OTA except for root. But if you can stand to back some stuff up you will have a lot less trouble with a full wipe. OTA users themselves experience a minimum of a hassle and a maximum of hair pulling and doing no data will be the same. Easiest problem is needing to clear data for swype to get that to work but random reboots can be another issue if taking the OTA or doing a No Data odin from there to here.

Okay well I'm coming from calkulins 3.0 e4gt rom and debating if i want to go to ICS or wait it out. Not entirely sure at this point. Thought about it but I don't know. I'm running rogue kernel with FF18 modem. Its been okay battery sucks. What do you suggest about going to ICS?
I notticed that my baseband was EL29. I was supprised that it wasn't causing trouble since it's GB and I was running CM9. I was under the impression that things worked best when modem and kernel were matching.
SO I updated my modem to FF18 and the Kernel/Recovery to TWRP 2.2.1 with FF18. Once rebooted, the WiFi was broken. (can't even turn it on). So I tried FF11 and still no go. I even tried going back to EL29.
No matter what I do, I still don't have WiFi. It's very frustrating. This is pretty much the first time in 2 years with multiple phones I've been completely stumped. anyone have any advice?
You running cm9, You can't use the update profile and prl in settings. There is a work around (google is your friend) on how to do it. But I believe thats the issue. every time i flash a new modem I do update profile and update PRL. you could flash to a TW ICS rom update profile and PRL and the flash back to CM9

Can you re-post the link, I was unable to find that page. Also, where can I find a TW ICS rom? I don't see it on the wiki custom roms database.
Thanks,
Weird I havent had that issue on my phone im running FF18
I've got the notification for me to update to 4.0.4 popping up every time I use my phone. I was wondering how I could possibly stop the prompts from occurring, or if there'd be an easy way to revert my phone to fully stock...without me having a backup. I've got a custom ROM installed (Blazer v4.0), so I'm guessing the answer is a no, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
My current system info for reference:
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S710.10 S.EL29
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
In the event that I'm not able to restore it to stock, any info on how I can update my android through a custom ROM or something would be awesome, and of course ROM suggestions would be wonderful.
Thank you all so much for your time.

It's funny that you posted this question because I was just about to do the same too. I just flashed my phone to Blazer's 4.1 GB rom and just got the system update popup 10 minutes ago. Same setup only my modem is FI03. I had downloaded this zip file "Disable.OTA.Updates.zip" but wasn't sure if it could be used on a GB rom (downloaded it for Blazer's ICS rom, coincidentally).
I was thinking of nandroiding and then trying it out, but figure checking XDA first to be certain would a better decision.

If you want to revert back to stock, just check the android development forum. there are many posts by rwilco with different versions of stock TouchWiz. You might need to go back a bit to find GB.
the one-click files are about as easy as it gets for flashing.
I started off flashing these stock rooted updates instead of waiting for the OTA updates and haven't had an update notification since.
of course I'm on CM10 JB nights now, but still no notifications...
p.s. backups are not required, just recommended.
Just flashed the disable.ota.update zip. Phone booted up fine.
You can also just accept the update. It won't work and your phone with freeze but after pulling the battery the annoying ota is gone. I think it may come back in about a week.

..or just go FI03, flash Agat's kernel/recovery and go from there...

Alright, so I've flashed the stock EL29 TW Kernel, but I've still got blazer v4.0? What am I doing wrong here?
Yeah, so it hasn't worked. Still getting the ota update prompt, still running Blazer v4.0 for some reason. Any ideas?
Just accept the update. It will go away and you should still have your Rom.

I don't want the ROM dude. If I still wanted it I wouldn't have posted this question. Besides, that only fixes the problem momentarily. My question now is why the heck didn't the flash work?

You need to flash an actual rom. But before you do that backup anything important and then use calkulins format all before you flash whatever rom. If you don't wipe some stuff might be broken or killing your battery. Changing the kernel won't change your rom.

In order to update OTA you must have a stock rom with all the original apps, plus the stock recovery.
Also, there should be an update to JB in the next few weeks.

No doubt, I wish I hadnt updated to li3, The Swype keyboard is not nearly as good as the Swype Beta keyboard and the " Smilies" key doesnt work half the time! Wait for the next update!
Any idea on when the next update might come? I've just been hearing this month. It used to be all over my flipboard, now I hardly see anything about a s3 update. Didn't now if Samsung is pushing it further now like when it was rumored that we would get JB back in August.
