[Q] System update? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted with Mortify ROM right now, but I keep getting a system update message. It only gives me the options to install it now or later. Will this screw up my phone, cause it is working fantastic for once and I don't want to have to go through a whole mess to make it work again.
TIA

It won't screw it up. It will fail, and then you will do a battery pull and restart it. It will, however, continue to pop up several times a week until you use the search to find the permanent solution.
(Hint: its several posts down and titled something like "running clean GB and prompted to update to FC09).

The permanent fix is to modify your build.prop to reflect you have fc09 instead of fb15 fc09 is the latest ota that's why your getting that notification. I will link you the how to. But to do it you use terminal emulator and follow the commands.

even if you dont upgrade your android version, you still might want to think about updating your modem via odin.

flastnotes, the problem is that, alot of threads on this site are scattered all over the place. so for a new persion to figure out how to find a specific thread or so, is actually kind of difficult.

And that's why there is a search feature.... AND GOOGLE! Sorry but that's not an excuse for me... I have been a member since, what, october? When I first signed up at xda you didn't see me posting the same things over and over again... whether its general or development, you should still search... if you have a question, I can almost guarantee you it has been asked/answered already! Bottom line....... SEARCH BEFORE POSTING!!!

You should be a moderator Flast.

If you use any of the custom roms you'll have no CIQ (obviously as long as they mention they do). Changing the modem shouldn't affect it as far as I know.

Yep, he's absolutely right! I just flashed the noCIQ zip 2 days ago by Googling the name of the zip and the developer. The zip and tar both came up.

don't even need to wait for it to install successfully. Sometimes a "fail" is actually a success, so if you're having problems of it flashing successfully then you should check your app drawer.. its probably in there already.

yep probably my 4th time lol. Since t-mobile had their "sale" and i believe prices are dropping for the gs2 (target/walmart) expect a lot of new users with derp questions.. I do hope it dies down.
I should probably create a template so i can just c/p everything over and over.

[Q] update el30 to fc09?

Just got my new epic a couple hrs ago. Last one broke.
Rooted and flashed cleangb on to it.
Got a popup a couple minutes ago asking if i wanted to update mr7 from el30 to fc09.
Should i? Will it mess with the rom?
Shame on you should know better than to post questions in general LOL. If you want to stay on clean GB then you will have to modify your build.prop to stop the update. Otherwise flash an FC09 rom.

Thanks a ton.
I'm in the same boat. But, I have cleangb MTD. I gave my phone to my son after I picked up an ARRIVE WP7.5 to try out. He told me he got a prompt to update. I have been looking for info. Is it worth upgrading to? And is there a link that will give me more info and what's needed to update? Thanks
You cannot update on a custom ROM. You can flash an FC09 ROM. There are a bunch in the Development forum. You can also edit the build.prop file to stop the update notification.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
OK, thanks. Are there any links to the what's included in the new update? Thanks in advance.
On Sprint.com if you can navigate through their crappy website to the "update firmware on you samsung epic" page it will list the features of FC09.

The only thing really new from el30 to fc09 is the "optimizer" (sprints version of juice defender....)
If u want to stop the pop up, just allow the update to proceed, let it fail, pull battery, then reboot ur phone. That's it

That will only stop it for a little... you must edit the build.prop for it to never return...

The magical search button and your firmware notification

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!
Hey, I just got this message about an update, any info would be great. Is it JB? Thanks in advance, Ive heard your the man to see about this issue
