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.

Hmm it will be a little more difficult then. You can find the build.props here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652873but since your on BML you will have to change everything from MTD to BML.

just time consuming.
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.

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...

Go into Samsung Epic Development and look for the Touchwiz lock.screen fix. It is on the first or second page and flash the stock fix.

if you have enough posts to post in development, you have been here long enough to know this goes in q&a, and to know to look at some stickies or something first.. i know the search sucks, but come on...
I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.
you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.

Ive kept track of the skyrocket side.The response has been thoroughly negative. He posted the first vid and people in the skyrocket forum responded with "fake" and "I already got that far" or " whats the point"
A week or two later he got flamed by a lot of the newer devs in the skyrocket dev forum about not releasing source code even though it was even in alpha. In this thread he was also accused of "kanging".How does one kang ICS for this device?
Not very welcoming from the start. It was also, the rules pretty much allow offsite linking if registration is not required which is currently the case but the rules where extended and not applied site wide.

I have flashed hundreds....and I am honestly telling you hundreds of phones and times and this is the first time I have gotten stuck...problem is this time it isn't my phone.
I had a co-worker ask me to help him with his SGS 2....took me a few to realize that his Sprint SGS 2 is actually the epic 4g or 4g touch....but anyway I made a back up through his recovery and then did a factory reset, cache wipe, system format, and davlik wipe before trying to flash AOKP 34 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565994
Well the flash failed with a status 7...tried to restore the backup but it says there are no files. If you try to boot it just sticks at the Samsung logo....I can get into Odin mode but no computers so far have recognized the device. The other problem is so how is CWM is gone and I am left with what I assume is the stock recovery....you know the whole signature required stuff.
What can I do to get this back to working again?

SPH-D710 = Epic 4G Touch
SPH-D700 = Epic 4G
Two different phones. Luckily, I own both.
What you should do:
1. Download Epic 4G Touch drivers
2. Use a non-stock cable
3. Download Odin for the touch
4. Download an Odin tar for the latest E4GT stock (EL29 I think)
5. Run Odin as admin
6 Reboot download mode
7. Plug phone in slowly to a back port on a desktop if possible
8. Put the Epic Touch pit in the pit section (NOT victory 8g)
9. Put EL29 in the PDA slot
10. Start Odin

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).
sent from a secret underground bunker
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.
