Why bother? why not just download any of the pre-rooted versions of this and save yourself the time.
Sad you just got your notice, others got it weeks ago.

You're probably going to root again anyway, so why not use the one click ff18 that's already rooted? also, you didn't have to wait for the ota, you could've had this weeks ago. The ota and ff18 leak have been verified to be exactly the same release

Yeah I didnt know that the leaked FF18 would end up being the official release.
Rooting was no big deal. I've already rooted, and replaced the kernel on the OTA update.

Anyone know of a good rom that has fixed all of the issues with the OEM ICS?

Loving me some ICS

that's because the ota he had gotten was a revised version or updated version of ff18....

I'm assuming this is the update for 2.3.6 and wifi calling?
I got the same OTA notification, running Juggernaut 3.7
Did you guys install the update? Or just get a notification?

I don't mind updating via OTA (I'm on BeastMod now), but what I don't want to do its lose root and have to restore all the data manually.

It was a notification for the update with an option to install or postpone; I'm going to postpone mine as long as I can....not sure what that update will do being that I'm rooted and on Juggernaut.
I'm sure one of the dev teams will take the OTA and roll it into a ROM so we can get the update and keep everything that we're used to.
I'm still on stock and yet to get update. sucks!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got the update notification too and I'm also running Juggernaut 3.7.
I'm using the EagleBlood ROM and I received the update notification today. I'm postponing it as long as I can, but is there a way to just reject the update? It's annoying seeing the icon in my notification bar.
Can any of you just pull the link please? It would be a great help to many people. Everyone keeps posting about it and that is not helping anyone.

The update is already rooted and posted. Along with the new basebands.

Yes but not all of us want to use Odin. I am very much aware of its presence in the development section. However, i can assure you that i am not alone in wanting the link/zip.

Link for what? I'm not following you. Are you wanting the actual ota zip? If so, someone who has been notified of the update can use root explorer and go to /data/cache and grab the zip.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I guess someone else tried running this update and it just took them to CMW and didn't give them the update. I just froze "device manager" from TB so i don't have those annoying update arrows. I will wait for the new juggernaut when they update it. I'm in no rush

OTA ICS update from Sprint

Alright just curious about this ICS update that is supposed to be coming to EG4T starting June 12. My phone is currently rooted but I'm still on EL29 stock GB ROM. So my question is will I be able to update over the air when it starts rolling out without having to unroot my phone, but if I do is there a good stable, stock ROM of ICS I can flash too?
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Taking OTA means your will lose root. You do not have to unroot as long as you did not remove or modify files the OTA depends on. However once again your losing root by taking the OTA.
I don't know if its been confirmed the leak FF18 is the same as the OTA FF18 but it most likely is. Getting rooted FF18 is something thats been available for a couple weeks now.
Okay cool do you know where I can find the leaked version of FF18?

This is def not final. Still stuff wrong. Minor. Ota will probably be early October. We will probably see 5-6 more leaks before then.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I agrer. I still think its pretty likely we will see another official ics update first anyways. Then the eventual jb will patch that. Why else would there be ics leaks and latest jb leak was originally a patch to LI5?

I dont think there will be any more ics leaks. I think lh2 will be the final and jb ota will go over that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That is highly possible. Could go either way at this point (imo). Just seemed they were testing patching to LI5 and I couldnt think of any other reason for that. I've been using my own version of LI5 as my daily (cept for jb leaks of course) and I've found it nearly flawless.
In the end it really doesnt matter though, as long as we get a good strong jb and they make the full fw available!

TMO has consistently forced updates to be done through Kies.
Anyone know a way to make the SGH-T989 ignore OTA updates? TMO & Samsung have dropped the ball enough that I don't care about any updates they create.

Did you update with Kies? I connected my T989D to Kies the other day to see if there would be any issues to prepare for in anticipation of official 4.1. When I tried to update (I know the update didn't exist yet), Kies said that the device could not be initialized. When I had done this before installing TWRP and rooting, I didn't get the error message.
I'm on stock 4.0.4 from Koodo and using the newest version of Kies (2.5.something??). The Kies backup and syncing options seemed to be fine.
I have assumed that I will have to go back to unrooted with stock recovery to get the update via Kies.

Not going to make a new thread for this easy Q so ill ask here (its on topic).
Today I connected to Kies and saw there is an update for my ICS. This would be the 3rd update, and I noticed after under Kernel, it has an unusually long name with "SMP Preemenpt Mon Jan 14" in the name, What is this last update all about?
Its an update to ics. Nothing spectacular but it has some security fixes and vlingo "improvements".
