Just received the ICS update prompt. Is it safe to do so being on Boost?
So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.
Sent from my E4GT running the blu kuban!
Yes on boost service and received ota ics notification update.
What build?
Please post which version you end up with. Suspect FF18 but hey, wishful thinking never has stopped!

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now
Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

Anyways from what I have found is that no rom I have flashed on this phone has messes up the radio settings where all the carrier settings are stored. You should be fine. But that being said flash at your own risk ha.

MR 4 means Maintenance Release 4.
It's their 4th maintenance release for the phone.
I think it went EL26 -> EL29 -> FF18 -> FH13. were all OTAs
Was expecting this since they added FH13 to the open source page this morning as mentioned over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30559316&postcount=202

I used to know the answer to this but I'm getting old and tired....if I have the FF18 odin OC installed and I de-rooted using AutoRoot, will I still get the OTA message?

As long as the "core" apps are in place and all you did was root, according to the sfhubs threads with one clicks, you'll get the ota.
That being said - being rooted alone, people have failed at getting ota pushes.
If you really want ota, best bet is to go back stock and unless anyone can say different, that means going back to ek02..
(My 2 cents..)

Just a theory, maybe the LAxxx version is for in place OTA upgrades and the LBxxx is the full ODIN/wipe version?
Be interesting to compare the actual files after release.
So we're the first US variant of the Galaxy S3 to get Jelly Bean? Sweet.
I believe the version changes once it hits Sprints hands. I think they have their own system for it

This ota seems to be the same as the latest leak. It might have a few tweaks but probably nothing major. If your already rooted and on rooted stock, just wait for the rooted stock version to update to, or go back to EL29 and unroot and then wait for the update.
Sprint rolls out OTA's in waves though, so your looking at a few weeks in waiting time possibly.

Anyways. I talked to a friend who works for sprint corporate in Overland Park and he confirmed this
This is exactly why Sprint's the bomb. They invest the most out of getting device support of any other carrier.
lol my bad. Didn't mean el29! I was helping another 2 other technicians to reflash software on a E4GT at the same time writing that.

I was just thinking that same thing, great, now I gotta put my phone back to stock, update, and re-root. But then the XDA snob kicked in and said "why isn't there a leaked ROM on here already deodexed lol?" So spoiled. I'm sure there will be a deodexed version posted Wednesday, if not earlier. Our devs are pretty quick on getting stuff like that out, especially THIS update. This is the version everyone has wanted, wifi calling combined with multiwindow

Had my E4GT for a while now, came with FF18 2.3.6, then did the OTA 4.0.4 FL27, then went through FL24. Then I got sick of waiting for JB, so I threw GA10 4.1.2.
I messed up, because I Rooted, installed AGAT, then flashed the ROM on the phone. However, when I flashed either the ROOT or Recovery, the modem or something got messed up.
The phone will freeze, and reset if 4G or 3G radio is on. So my question is, what did I do wrong? And how can I fix it.

My goal ATM is to revert back to stock/OTA 2.3.6. I don't like ICS, and GA10 has HORRID battery life.

Absolutely. Just when it starts up, it works fine for about 10-15 seconds then freezes. GA10 didn't do this. This freezing only happened when I had the root and AGAt on it (I messed up one of these, and I assume it's modem issues?)
IF so, if I flash the EL29 package with the modem, it should fix my problem?
Also, it doesn't really matter...but will it make the yellow triangle and ODIN flash count go away?

2.3.6 OTA is my favorite so far.
