Qbking77 has also put together a video on how to install it here.
(I linked both because I'm not sure everyone will be able to pick up the Youtube link.
A link to his thread to thank him is here.
Important Notes
Bugs will be in Post #2, including our confirmation that the emmc lockup is still vulnerable..
Post #3 will contain links to leaks, ROMs based on leaks and then those based on source.
Link to sfhub's EL29 ODIN One-Click (in case you want to go back to GB - kept by popular demand)

Bug Reports for OTA
Will be monitoring and adding as I can here.
eMMC Bug Status: Unsafe at kernel level due to existence of offending option.
Analysis and initial verification here. (Posts #679 for analysis, #680 for verification.)
Users are recommended to continue using GB for factory resets/wipes or installing a known "safe" kernel such as the one in the first post to avoid potentially locking up your internal memory card.
Those that should experience this from doing a factory reset and/or wipe please PM me as I will be tracking any such issues.
Devs using this source should remove the option to render the kernel safe. (Please check sfhub's notes on how to make safe other format/wipe points such as update_binary.)
Edit: See first post as one is already out based on source; others were already safe based on AOSP and sfhub's notes.
Swype Issues
Users are reporting issues with Swype after the OTA.
Confirmed solution:
1) Go to Settings > Applications and select the "all" tab.
2) Scroll down to Swype app, tap.
3) Select clear all data
You will lose saved Swype data but functionality will be restored. (Thanks to many who posted this in Pgs. 16 & 17)
Wi-Fi Sleep Issues
Sfhub summed it up greatly and provided a link to previous discussion - I'm pasting that here for reference:
sfhub said:
The WiFi deep sleep not reconnecting issue has been around for many releases

They fixed it somewhere in between, but it got reinitroduced.

I also have a guide in Q&A for some custom wpa_supplicant.conf tweaks that have helped people on ICS. Feel free to look if interested.
Battery Issues
A lot of people have been mentioning battery performance and how it has dropped.
The CW (common wisdom) has been to suggest the following course:
1) Back up your phone contents.
2) Use sfhub's FF18 full Odin OC to wipe out /data and give yourself a clean slate.
(Normally a good idea whenever you do this kind of an update)
3) Turn off 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc and do a test battery drain.
If you get really lousy time here you may want to replace your battery.
4) One at a time start reintroducing your apps and functions.
As each may work differently on ICS it's better to do one at a time so you can identify what is draining the battery.
5) Once cause of excessive drain is found try to limit use.
For me it was leaving 3G/4G on when I don't need it. I turn on manually as needed.
I also leave BT, GPS as I only use < 1% of the time.
Please PM or note any bugs if noticed so I can document here - thanks!

FF18 Roms
As the leak matches OTA and has been verified I am removing the leak remark.
FF18 Roms & Stock Variants
Sextape's Leak (Stock, Unrooted)
Datajosh's Leak (Rooted, Odexed/Deodexed)
This is a stock rooted rom.

This will serve as the official OTA from Sprint thread. Let's keep this one on topic. Thank you and have fun! :highfive:

I'll get some videos up very soon for manually updating and such.

This post is now deprecated - please see the OP for download and or flashing instructions.
If you get the OTA prompt to download - please follow these steps to help out your fellow XDA'ers:
Steps to find OTA Link:
Download CatLog from the play store (free). Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dcatlog+android
When the OTA update is prompted you can look in the log cat results and find the direct Google download link URL. May take a bit of digging through the logcat but its not hard to find. Once you get the URL share it with others here. This way anyone who wants the official OTA can pull it down rather than wait potentially several days for it.
Edit: It will probably start with http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d710... to give you an idea of what to look for.
If anyone posts it here are steps to flash from EL29 stock: (note, this won't work if have a custom ROM, or if you modified any of the stock apps e.g. if you removed bloatware its not gonna work)
Steps to Manually Install OTA:
Rename the file to “update.zip” (without the quotes - make sure it isn't update.zip.zip)
Move the file to the root of your EDIT: SDCard on the ET4G
(Per results of others, stock recovery only looks at the root of a SDCard, not internal storage)
Shutdown your ET4G
Disconnect any USB Cable
Boot your phone into Recovery Mode
(Push and hold the the Volume Up + Power until recovery screen displays.)
Use Volume Down button to hightlight “apply update.zip”
Select with "home" button

Got a noobish question..
I got my GF the SGS3, and want to switch her over from the ET4G.
I would still be able to install the ICS OTA update even after I deactivated the ET4G, as long as I used the one click ODIN setup that typically gets posted in the Dev section, correct?

If im flashing the Cyanogenmod 9 should i flash back to stock and get the ota? or just stick with CM9?

Update just popped up!

If you're on CM9 and you're happy with it there is no need to flash the OTA.

Silly question time - What's your location if you don't mind me asking? (Not that I know if it has a bearing on roll out, I'm just curious)

GOOD GRAVY!!!!! You mean they released an OTA update with the emmc bug? That's freakin' scary! I guess they weren't listening to our devs after all. I guess the OTA won't trigger a full factory reset, but what if some poor schlub needs to for some reason? :shakes head: That's a shame.

In the rdf thread, jaysonp stated he had OTA and posted his build stats. Though not a screenshot, if what he posted was true and correct, am I correct in my assessment that the OTA is the same build as the FF18 leak and we already have it? Or do we need to wait for someone to pick apart the OTA to confirm?

Do they need to dig into the code to see if things are the same or would a simple md5 hash check accomplish the verification?

Working pdroid patches [currently AOKP(toro+maguro), stock AOSP, cm9]

I'm using this thread to share working pdroid patches I've got for various Galaxy Nexus roms. This was made using the patcher being developed here (patcher is in the 4th post). The patcher is currently linux-only, but will also work with cygwin in windows. I'm posting the finished flashable zip here as a convenience to anyone who can't use it themselves. Please note that I am not one of the people actively developing this patcher, just a willing tester who happens to own a toro Gnex.
If you don't know what Pdroid is, this is the thread for it on xda. Basically, it lets you deny permissions to apps on a per-permission basis, without risking apps crashing. Same basic idea as LBE privacy guard, but in my opinion executed better. Plus, open source is always a plus. Even though the official patcher there won't work for us yet, check the official thread. You'll need to download the app from the market and follow the same instructions, just using the zips I'll post here (or make your own).
I'll include a revert.zip for anything I post here, but please note that I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your phone. Make backups before flashing things. Try TWRP if you haven't, it's faster at backup/restore than CWR and does a bunch of other neat stuff like compressed backups and queued zip flashing. Also, in case of things breaking, please note that these revert zips are (1) only going to work if you are running the same rom used to create the zip and (2) just a slimmed down version of the rom's zip. What this means is that if you flash a pdroid zip and you need to revert, the surest thing to do is just re-flash your rom without wiping anything.
I'll try to update this thread as I get more patches working. Here's where my own experiments stand:
Link to my dropbox folder with files, notes below
Working patches:
-AOKP b39 (toro):
-AOKP b39 (maguro):
-CM9 Nightly: Patched build: 2012/06/19
--Note: Not sure if these will automatically fail with later nightlies or only when something relevant is updated in the rom. Feel free to try, just reflash your rom if it bootloops.
-Stock AOSP(+root, busybox): Patched build: 2012/06/02
-Paranoid Android v1.4a
Not Working (Yet):
-Liquidsmooth 1.5RC4:
-Slim ICS 4.0:
Unless otherwise noted, these are all for the toro (verizon) Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty quick and easy for me to make new patches so feel free to request something. But please be aware that sometimes it's a few days between when I can devote any time to this and don't be offended if I don't reply to you right away.
Just to reiterate, all you need to do for this is download the "Pdroid Patch Zip" file for your rom, flash it in recovery, and download Pdroid from Google Play.
Finally, be aware that the first boot after flashing can take a very long time, without any indication like the "Android is Upgrading..." screen. Don't assume it's bootlooping! Seriously, put the phone down and do something else for a bit. Anything in the tested section I've either personally flashed on my phone or someone else reported as working. If you're sure you're getting a bootloop on a clean install, my only advice is to do a full revert to stock and re-unlock/root/etc and see if it works then. Though rare, it is possible for something to be corrupt that persists across the usual "clean install" routine.
Isn't that what Permissions Denied does?

Wow, I didn't realise you could patch AOKP on ICS yet. Have been waiting for this for so long. How would I go about applying your patch for AOKP gsm?

For gsm you'd need a new patch. There are instructions in the first thread I linked to if you'd like to try it out. I might make one in a bit since I expect that to be a popular request and I expect it to work.

Same idea, different approach. Permissions denied generally causes apps to crash if they need info that they are denied. I also had a major issue with it a while back that I ended up doing a factory reset for, but I think that's been fixed since then.
Not sure how pdroid gets around apps fc'ing (maybe it spoofs data so apps go on running normally? It has an option to set your own values I haven't played with much), but it works very smoothly.

Quick update, I put up a maguro for AOKP, and I also updated the OP quite a bit since I last posted. Finally got around to testing the patches I made; getting better at reading the patching process as well to tell when a patch will work before flashing it, too.
At far as updates go, I don't really intend to follow the cm9 nightlies as I don't run them myself. I'll probably continue to try new versions of AOKP and paranoid android as they come out. I'll continue to try the roms that don't patch yet with new versions of the patcher as they are released.
Thank you. The maguro patch works for me.
Edit: not sure, but this likely breaks 2 apps: Listen, Drive.
I've been using LBE Privacy to control permissions and this app doesn't crash apps that have permissions blocked. It's one of their selling points, doesn't crash apps.

PDroid source has been released, whilst LBE created by a 'suspect' chinese company. I put the suspect in inverted comma's because nothing has actually been proven.
The patch works a treat on GSM aokp, many thanks
edit: looking at it though, it seems it doesn't find all the permissions correctly. I am assuming this is a limitation of the current pdroid as it is not designed for ics.
For instance it does not find hardware controls. Google Drive has access to hardware controls to take photos/videos.
Thanks for the confirmations on the maguro zip, I edited the post to reflect that it's definitely working.
I hadn't heard of LBE before making these threads but from what I've read it seems like people generally prefer pdroid. I'll check it out at some point but it looks like it does a bit more than I'd want it to, and pdroid being open source is definitely a plus.
IIRC, there's certain instances where apps can bypass LBE but not PDroid. I think reboot is one of those times due to when LBE loads.
I've been running LBE but lately the service keeps stopping because it doesn't get root soon enough after boot. Trying this now on Paranoid. Thanks!

I'm guessing you are running a different build/more recent nightly? I might take that link down as it was meant as more of a proof of concept if the cm9 patcher was working and it's unlikely anyone is going to be flashing that particular build just to test pdroid.
The most effective thing would be to just re-flash the original rom's zip, you don't need to wipe anything. The revert zip file is basically just four files copied from a given rom's original zip, services.jar, core.jar and framework.jar in /system/framework, and build.prop in /system.

I hadn't heard of pdroid until I was on the Nexus, so I'm not familiar with it to compare, but I'm currently using LBE and blocking its data connections with Droidwall. Perhaps a bit overkill... but works great as far as I can tell.

I think I flashed it to a nightly a day or two after 5-18 and it worked, but it definitely did not work on 5-27 or 5-29.
If the patch doesn't work for you, pull the battery, then hold volume up and down while you hold power, then use volume up and down to get to recovery option--press power to select. Either flash the revert or the old from there on top of the non-working one. Don't clear data partition and you won't lose anything.
@Joesyr, I think there is some interest in CM9 nightly patches...would you mind making a CM9 patch maybe once a week? I haven't had any luck making the patch on my own.

Well the last cm9 nightly I tried didn't patch at all (I believe it was a 5/29 build). I will try tinkering with things as I get the time but I'm not really at the level of fully understanding these kinds of failures yet.
Next time there's an updated cm9 patch I will try to get a working pdroid zip and I'll consider weekly updates. I'm also generally willing to make these on request as it's a pretty quick process. Fiddling with dropbox links is probably the longest part of any of this.
Any particular issue you're having with the patcher? I've been thinking I could write a little tutorial for getting cygwin up and running since I imagine that for most people the limiting factor is just that they don't have a linux environment to work in. But until I get the time to do that I can help troubleshoot.
Can you make a patch for stock root.
Thx
Has anybody experienced random rebooting? All was fine until I opened a non system app. Then it just started rebooting randomly after opening any app. I ran it on Maguro with AOKP b37.

Yup, not sure if the rom I just put up is the same you were looking for but it's the first one I've been able to get to patch correctly with the aosp patch.

[ROM][29July2013] mROM v4.0 JSS15J - stock 4.3 + GAPPS, MOD(s), etc.

Here is a 4.3 ROM built from AOSP source designed to emulate what a Verizon 4.3 ROM would be like. The changes from AOSP include the addition of GAPPS, addition of Verizon apps, appropriate binaries so everything works, addition of busybox, correct eri.xml, home screen layout to mimic a stock ROM, and the removal of the tethering restriction. The ROM is not pre-rooted, so flash Chainfire's SuperSU if you want root.
As usual, flash at your own risk and post any successes or problems.

My attempt was to make a stock rooted ROM for Verizon based off of the 4.1.1 source on AOSP. Some things are still added to this rom from 4.0.4 IMM76K Verizon ROM, but I did include the new binaries for toro. I haven't fully tested everything, but camera, google now, gps, and wifi all work as expected. I'll try to get some add-on's / mods before too long and have them posted as flashable .zips.

I'd recommend a full factory reset, but people can try what they feel comfortable with. Personally, I did a factory reset, wiped both caches, and then flashed the ROM (with TWRP).

Do you have any on your sdcard partition in the Ringtones folder? If not, I'd check \system\media\audio path (subfolders for ringtones, alarms, etc). Delete any duplicates you find in there. I don't have any duplicates and there aren't any in the rom.zip I uploaded.
just overwrote mms.apk in system/apps to get the custom pink mms, and got a quick reboot to my boot screen, this never happened on 4.1 roms that weren't source, don't know if this is normal because i replaced the app and it was a one time thing (i hope). as far as going to system/media/ringtones, i see them but there arent any doubles, however theres doubles when i go to select a ringtone from the menu, for everything system related, ringtones and notifications.
What issues have people had? Any boot issues?
I replaced the "stock" keypress ogg files from ics/jelly bean that sound better with this 4.1.1 release, the new key click sounds are horrible. works fine. i used to have t-cdma 64 with any build from 4.1.1 there is a fix that works that ill just apply. its a xml file or something.

[UNOFFICIAL] CM10 Support & FAQ's

Hey all
Jdelano started this for CM9 for the OG Epic; it seemed to workout well there. So I figure since CM10 has dropped. Lets get the ball rolling and compile a pseudo FAQ / Support thread to keep the development thread as clean as we can.
I'll scan the CM10 threads and attempt to complile a conprehensive list of problems and their solutions here in a formatted (hopefully) easy to read/find way.
Please feel free to assist in answering questions or letting me know where something new has popped up.

FAQ:
Q:Where is the Sprint CM10 Development Thread?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778266
Q: What version is CM10 currently at?
A: CM10 was just a preview build until the 8/15 release, after which it moved to nightly stage. The Nightly builds can be found HERE. Changelogs for nightly builds is found HERE
****DISCLAIMER**** Nightly builds are the time when many new features are being merged and removed on a regular basis. They are automatically built each evening (most of the time) and therefore aren't tested like the previews were prior to nightly status. Therefore, things are very likely going to get broken from build to build...luckily they often times are fixed within a build or two, but it's up to your tolerance of such activity to determine how you prepare for a new flash. PLEASE ACT ACCORDINGLY. Yes, most of the time you may get away with wiping only cache & dalvic cache before flashing Nightly Rom & GApps zips - but please, make a Nandroid backup just in case. If you really want the features a new nightly offers but a "dirty" flash is causing problems, simply restore your Nandroid and do a clean install for maximum effectiveness.

A: The problem has been decreasing to next-to-nothing...but in case you're still having issues - check out the post by EndlessDissent
Q: Suddenly I have missing pictures using the stock gallery app, but apps like QuickPic see them fine. How can I fix that?
A: zanderman112 posted this; which says it may have to do with ROM Manager.
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
NOTE: you will still have to remove .nomedia files from the folders with media that you want the media scanner to find.

Anyone else getting "Damaged SD Card" notification?
So far, this seems more stable than the CM9 nightlies. So far, the only bugs I've encountered involves some of the already known issues including camera problems and losing root access (reflashing root from recovery worked), and when selecting notification/ringer sounds the sound preview doesn't seem to play (yes, I checked it wasn't on vibrate).
Overall, I am very impressed for such an early build. Will be my daily driver. Excited to start seeing the CM customizations merged.
I updated the thread.
Does LTE work on this Build?
Im in a known good lte location. just no 4G notification.

I don't know if LTE works, but CM10 seems defaulted to CDMA only, so you'll need to change the mobile network mode in system settings to even try.
I cannot get my headphone jack to work with this ROM. Also the camera doesn't work for me if I try to only take a picture. It is completely capable of recording video and taking pictures while recording video.

thanks for posting; as I make my way around the forums and speak to the devs I'll see what I can find for you.
These things will be fixed some time early in the beta phase; I am sure (going by what I saw in the CM9 developement)
Of course my comments are my opinion and have no actual baring on the development time of CM10
Left out one thing, I'm not getting 3G unless I put the phone into LTE/CDMA mode

I haven't seen these issues reported over in the development thread, you may want to wipe everything and reflash and be sure to not restore any data (if you did) and see how things go.

Tried flashing several times, same issues appeared every time.
Followed standard flashing procedures. Wiped user data, cache partition, and davlik cache. The last time I flashed I also formatted system.

[Q] system update available

Just got this message this morning. I'm on PLG8 rooted stock but due to cwm it of course will not install. Any idea what this is?
Search before asking questions. there 100 posts in the q*a alone that will tell you its the li3 update

Try this.
I thought I had system updates disabled so I was kinda surprised by the notification. I knew LI3 was out a week or two ago but never received the notification so I was confident it was frozen by titanium backup. Upon further inspection, I never froze that process.
Thank you for the link, that's a really easy upgrade although I wasn't that concerned with LI3. I'll double check next time before posting what firmware I'm on and if my update is truly frozen. I wonder if there should be a sticky with information about the most current OTA and leaks, maybe not all the links but at least their ID's and when they were released as OTA or leaked to the community, with a short description of what we believe is included, not to discount the search bar but that may help with at least some of those 100's of posts (aparently including mine)
So freezing System Update 1.0.48 with titanium will prevent the OTA update pop up?
