Couple questions.
1. Will I get the official ICS update when it's released being rooted?
2. If not, should I just download it from XDA now?
TIA

Yes you will get the update being rooted. Also there is no t989 ICS. Probably wont be for a while.

You will get the update if you are STOCK rooted, not if using a custom ROM.
IF you have CWM installed (and I am sure you do), it could put you in a bootloop if you take the OTA.
IF you flash any of the current ICS builds that are based on Skyrocket, you will loose Wi-Fi calling ..
Just an FYI ...

chances are extremely high once the "official" release is done a rooted version will be hours away so either way your will be fine.
but yes there are FINALLY some ICS builds in progress in the Development section!!! woot woot
I was close to jumpin ship with this phone and picking up a Galaxy Nexus. Looked like we were never going to get anything for this bad boy!

Will I be able to download the official update that sprint pushes to my phone if I am on one of the leaked ICS builds or any custom rom?
Sorry if this is a noob question, just want to be safe, as I heard the official release will be in about 10 days.

The release is for the INTERNATIONAL SGS2. that has nothing to do with this phone ie the E4GT. There is no release date for the E4GT official final for ICS at all.
If you are rooted, most likely not. I would also be surprised to see a release on the 15th. The Galaxy S II maybe, but not the Galaxy S II/EPic 4G Touch.
OK, regardless of release date, will we be able to update to the official release with a leaked or custom rom?

If it's anything like how EG30 was and how EK02 was just and update no you would have to be on a EL29 build. Regardless of that if you are rooted why would you take the update vs waiting a few hours or so for an updated rooted rom from a dev? that's saying we don't get the official final 3+ weeks before hand like we got EL29 as well.

Exactly. And the way Samsung does things, they release the source before the ROM so kernels are updated before the ROM drops, which usually results in the leaks working for weeks later (I never switched to EL29 for example, just kept using EL13 with EL29 kernels until about a week before the ICS leaks started).
I know it's hard to not get excited once OTA's begin (which will probably be a few months after international release) but just cool your jets and at most a few hours after the OTA's start pushing out the development forum will explode with new ROMs
The reason I am asking is because I flashed calks beta 3 onto my buddies phone. I am not sure if I will see him for a while so I want to be sure to tell him whether or not he can update, officially, later. I am not going to use the official release at all. Looks like he won't be either.

If you are not going to see him for awhile never flash a beta of an alpha rom on a phone /smh I'm sure he wants to play with ICS but in all honesty if you are not going to be able to update his phone with an official build or a newer one that's not beta that's not very smart the rom does still have issues. and no he will NOT be able to install the Official release.

Sound advice here. You never know when an issue can pop up on a beta. It could be an hour, a day, or a week. I have been running beta 2 for a couple of days now but if I was going to be away from my laptop for a few days I would be back on Gingerbread for sure

Wait not all sr roms work with your phone? Why not? Every rom should. But if there is a difference between your phones, i suggest holding out. I am not sure if your phone shares the same compatibility like how ours and telus are the same. But anyways, you guys should definitely wait before jumping the gun.

Here's my take on this. You want to know where to find out when ICS drops for this device within minutes of it happening or Samsung/T mobile/Telus announcing it? XDA will know within minutes. You aren't going to find a better source than this forum. The guy working in a call center didn't know sh#t compared to this community. I'm willing to bet there are a good amount of software developers from any companies with the info that are active XDA users. When they have the ability to release the info our a new leak is found, we'll know in short time.

I don't think this is an epic fail at all. It seems like there is a 26 day turn around time from testing to roll-out. If anything remains consistent, I'm hoping we see jelly bean sometime mid august.

The leaked version is FG01, its the exact same file they'll start pushing out. Using it with ODIN would be the same. That said, some people just want to wait for an ota, and that's OK too.

Never a good idea to accept an ota when rooted and rom'd. This is especially true if your ROM is JB and you accept an ICS ota. It is still fresh in the community's hands but rest assured anything of value from this small update will be integrated into community ROMS.

The official radio was posted on July 16 out of the FG01 by Sextape. Initially he didn't want to release the full FG01 so he just did the radio, but after a few days changed his mind and released the whole enchilada. So, if you head to that link you can grab just the radio if that is all you're interested in.
no one should be including radios in roms.
and there was a cwm flashable zip of the radios made teh day they leaked
Is there any advantage to flashing that radio? I'm on the jellin Rom, with fd02 radio.

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
