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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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.

unfortunately that wont work to get update, its not original sam-firmware tar
If anyone is on stock EG31, gets the update pushed to them and it works - please let us know
just went to stock eg31, flashed the odin tar, no luck!

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.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL BUILD FOR A REASON, THERE WILL BE BUGS, SO DON'T WHINE IF YOU FIND ONE, FIND A FIX INSTEAD
Here is the complete tar for the FB21 build, I replaced the Sbl with the EG31 one so reset jigs will still work afterwards
Side note - If you having issues with drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers worked for me
Extract tar first, then flash tar file through the PDA option in Odin
D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB21_CL159837_REV02_user_w_Sbl_EG31.tar.zip
And for those that just want the modem, here it is
E4GT_Modem_FB21.zip \ E4GT_Modem_FB21.tar - Zip must be flashed through a CWM based recovery & Tar must be flashed through the PHONE option in Odin
FAQ
If your having issues with Odin recognizing the phone after flashing this, use these instructions
Go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, update driver, click browse, let me pick from a list, select all(wait till it loads), find Samsung Co and install one of the ones that have modem in the name
first gonna flash right now and will post results later tonight, thanks calkulin

no reason why it won't flash the rom though
Downloading this and flashing it. Going to try to use this as a daily driver until we have a more final version (tired of gingerbread, lol).
Edit: Just installed it and it's working great so far. Probably a dumb question, but this isn't rooted, correct?

What Rom do you plan on flashing first ? Some require you to flash a certain kernel for their Rom .
But it should be ok for you to flash any recovery for your first one to make a back up.

Make sure that you have a ICS modem, unfortunately on AOSP, the volume is low, and the AOSP keyboard does have gesture typing, but it doesn't come with the swipe keyboard

And if you bounce back between AOSP, CM, and Tw, make sure you change modems according to the dev's instructions. Data won't work on jb roms with ics modems, same as it won't work on aosp and cm with a jb modem.

Yea, the JB update has a jb modem (GB27), ICS modems (FI27, FL24....etc,etc,) don't worry, if you go to rwilco12's android repository, they have all the modems, and there categorised by type, ( GB,ICS and JB)
OK well went back to stock for a while...but same thing happening lol I can't win...every time I turn off WiFi no signal (3g)...and I'm guessing I have jb modem hence the gb27

That's because you can't flash modems using Mobile Odin on our device. You'll have to flash a custom kernel using mobile Odin and then flash the jb modem in cwm.

i've never used CWM but i have read about it i have rooted every phone i have own, sticking mostly to stock roms for compatibility issues since i kept reading about this and that not working in this rom or that rom. but things have gotten so much better. i'm ready to explore. i'm running stock ICS and want to get some JB action on my SG2 epic touch. then again i may just upgrade to the SG4 and have the port fixed put it to stock and ebay it

I think I mentioned this to you before. You can't use Mobile Odin to flash modems. It won't work. Are you on a stock jelly bean rom? Stock ics rom? If you are on fl24 rom, use fl24 modem. If you are on gb28 rom, you have to use jb modem. If your usb doesn't work, flash a custom recovery with mobile Odin, boot into recovery, and flash modems that way. Just ensure you have a stock kernel(or custom) of the same build you currently have on your phone in zip format saved to your phone before flashing custom recovery.

Just follow the instructions for the specific Rom you want. All roms have their flashing instructions And the jb ones are more specific too. Those are listen in the thread for that Rom as well.

You need to do a full restore one click to GB27 full root restore which is jelly bean. Something in the system has to be formatted before you flash a custom jelly bean ROM.
RWilco has all the stuff you should need

You need to do the one that wipes data since you're going from ics to jb. It's going to delete whatever you have on the internal sd so back up the files. After you do that then you can flash a jb Rom on it. I'm on my phone right now so I can't really link you to the thread easily. Look for the jb roms they should have links to all you need to set up a jb Rom.

I've been reading a lot and it's my understanding that every time I flash a Rom I have to flash the kernel separate?
And all I read is CWM Recovery, is there not a TWRP Recovery for this device ?
And (Modems) this is included in all TW Roms. But if I flash cm or aokp Roms I have to flash this separate and use ICS modem?

It is hard to fully brick, but it can happen. Take your time and read as much as possible.. When I got my first Android device, Samsung Captivate, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading before I even attempted root and another full day of reading for installation of a custom ROM. You always have to be prepared to have a paper weight on your hands. You can't panic if you get stuck in a bootloop. Rule of thumb, 95% of the time if it still turns on, it can be fixed. What I do now is read as much as possible before I even get the device. I was reading and researching for 4 days before I got my S4 had it rooted and ROMd in an hour after I got it.

The E4GT is easy. Try figuring out the S4. That's what I am on now. There are so many different things to worry about.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
One of the main reasons why I like HTC devices because when you flash the ROM the kernel is flashed at the same time if yr S-Off were this phone you have to flash the kernel separate from the rom and then you have to use ClockworkMod recovery which I don't care for. I prefer TeamWin recovery. But my wife's GS3 is similar to htc devices download the Rom and flash and it has TeamWin recovery. But I got this phone to flip so I'm not going to keep it but who knows.
