There just way too many threads regarding official ics update. So can somebody please guide me. I'm currently rooted running cm9 I want to go back and install the recent update. With the 3d it was easy because I could just place the rom in my SD card and install it. But from what I'm reading there is extra steps I need to take on the epic. Thank you for your help! God is going to bless you with at least 6 kids.:thumbup:

God already gave me 7 so I'll pass on the kids but...
If you want flash the OTA update, flash back to EL29 stock (search EL29 One Click). The OTA ROM has been posted here ("How to manually update..." in General Forum) so just follow the instructions (I believe rename to update.zip, then go to stock recovery and select "install update.zip") but that is from memory.

Ok that was easy. I back up the stock ROM before installing ics. And boom I was able to restore. I did not do that before cause I saw somewhere is a thread thag said it was not going to work. Well it did! Wohooooo

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

if you mean stock as in right out of the box from sprint then check out this:

Thx for that, what about a method where I wont loose root access? Is that possible?

idk. i used that and then rooted again to start over. it says it wipes ur sd card but it doesn't wipe like wallpapers n zips u put on it.
Check out the sprint lovers rom in the dev section. Im mobile so I can't link it.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.
This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

Its been awhile since i was online..got the maintenance update i see all over the forums. Iv seen many different replies. I running Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7 which is gingerbread. If i allow the update to download will it brick my phone? i know it will unroot it which really doesn't bother me much since im sure i can root it after the ICS update rolls out or i might just stay stock since my flashing of roms has gone down lately. Any help would be appreciated

To put it simple.
If you.are going to be stock and update ota then do it as tmobile says. Lde then ics.
Now if your a custom rom person, then just wait till there is a flashable ics.zip and flash it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
You guys stop being confused. The update will only be available via kies and it does a version check first. It will make you do them in order.. but if your rooted already its dumb to go back for all of that bloated jazz.. just flash custom roms when they are released.

I just booted up my old Epic Touch after a long period of it collecting dust (Galaxy Nexus FTW) and I'm on a stock rooted Gingerbread build EL29 right now.

Thank you man! I keep getting prompted to update but since I'm rooted with a custom recovery I don't think I can! I can just install these via Odin and be good to go correct?

Which one are you looking to go to? That way I can reference the proper op and files.
If you're looking for suggestions, I'd personally go with Fi03.

If you're going Rooted, Garwynn has the One Click's available. Full restore and No-Data versions. Be sure to use Version #2. For ease, I'd suggest that method.
The Unrooted from RWilco are the tar packs for Odin if you'd rather go that route.
Both links have the instructions in the Op's.
Just remember that you'll lose the custom recovery and you'll have to follow the process to get one back.
Give an update on how it goes.
:edit: And I failed to mention, and I know Pp would say - You don't have to update and can try the update notification stop methods if you'd rather leave it where it is currently.

You're welcome and check my edit of the previous post.
just odin the latest ics and then re-root. :good:
This rom is a port from the note 2 ota update. It is a stock touchwiz based rom that is a work in progress. I need testers who will give positive feedback and ideas for updates. This rom has not yet been debloated. As this rom gets tested and I figure out which apps is and which apps is not used in multiwindow I will start to debloat on future updates. This is my first rom and as of right now it is working on my AT&T galaxy s3. If you are with another carrier and try this rom and it works please leave comments saying what carrier you are with. This is a test version so im sure we will find things that dont work if so let me know and ill work on a patch or update to fix any problems. I dont mind answering any questions but please read the thread all the way thru. Its a waste of time to keep answering the same questions over and over...
Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricked phones, damaged phones, thermo neuclear melt down, inner planetary war, the economy, or a melt down of society....
Install instructions.... please read and follow step by step. If you do not follow directions to the letter then do not complain to me if your phone explodes, acts funny, or becomes a paperweight..
1. Download and copy the rom to your sd card.
2. Boot into recovery. I strongly recommend using TWRP especially if your sd card is in exfat format. Here is the link to the thread on XDA for the only version of TWRP to support exfat. The official TWRP on goo im will NOT support exfat on this version will. No version of CWM for the S3 will support exfat. I have read cases where both CWM and the official TWRP have recognized exfat cards but really screwed the flash up when attempted. So if you have exfat sd card and do not use the version below and end up with a bricked phone do not cry to me. It only takes a few minutes to download and flash the zip file in the thread below. Also the work in the thread below I take no credit for so go hit up
Eaglerazor123's thanks button for his fine work with this great recovery. ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36095505
3. Dont be foolish or in a hurry. Take time to make a backup while you in recovery anyway. It only takes a couple of minutes and could really save you a great big headache later...
4.Format system, wipe data, (factory reset) wipe cache, then dalvick cache.. never ever dirty flash a phone. If you do not wipe everything do not cry to me when your phone dont work..
5. Flash the file you downloaded to your sd card.
6. Reboot. First boot will take some time so dont panic. Mine first boot took 5 minutes.
7. Enjoy...
Features..... this list will change as I update the rom..
1. Port from the note 2 ota update.
2. Rooted.
3. Deodexed.
4. Multiwindow
5. Touchwiz base.
Coming soon...
1. Themes
2. Debloating
3. Battery mods
4. Build prop edits
5. Audio mod
And much more...
Downloads......
New link coming soon

From the search I just did this is a common problem with cwm on the s3. Error 6 means something is going on with your sd card. Did you download to external or internal sd? And is your external sd card formatted in exfat? If so cwm does not handle exfat. There is a version of twrp that can handle exfat and it is what I used to flash this. I hope someone using twrp tries this that way ill know if I got an upload problem or if its a cwm thing. Oh is your version of cwm the latest version and is it touch? I really feel this is a cwm problem or a bad upload. Did you happen to check the md5?

PM me and we'll get it up on my goo. I have never encountered it but M0D said it could be a bad signature or bad update-binary. So check the updater script for syntax errors.

I'll try this out as well and get back to you. The more stock the better.. I'll keep a close eye on this one.
A friend of mine flashed the wrong modem on his phone and now can't get it to boot, it just boot loops, I tried putting the correct modem on it and same thing, I also tried flashing the zip file to return the phone completely back to stock and it still continues to do the same thing, can anyone help me out?
Not personally knowing if flashing the "wrong modem" can perma-brick Samsung stuff, I might recommend you try Odin'ing back to stock before giving up. (Sorry, can't link you, on my phone and watching a movie.) I'm sure one of our esteemed members will point you in the right direction to a "one click". Or tell you that you're cooked.

Dude, from the time of your OP, until now? You could have read every dev thread here, and figured this out.
Look for a thread by the user Garwynn, he has the stock "one clicks". Download it and run it with your phone plugged into a computer.
Read the instructions. Easy peasy, man.
