Im just running stock rooted tw. I just got the ics update pushed to my phone and I want to update. I know it won't fly because of cwm recovery. What's the best way to upgrade to ics from here?
I one of these days when ive got time I will be loading a custom rom. I dabbled with cm9 a bit, but what I need is a stable rom that has a good strong radio and GPS. So that's why I'm hanging with stock for now.

Why not just use SFHubs FF18 One Click, no data then run this to disable the OTA msg if you continue to get that?
To get your CWM Recovery back, just use the Autoroot to install CWM for FF18..

OP, you have the same phone as me and when I asked this I was told I was in the wrong section...
All I have is root for EL29 on my phone. Do you think it's safe to accept the OTA?

Why would you be in the wrong section?
And according to sfhub, and others, having root alone should not prevent the update. Though some have said it's failed.
The latest OTA is said to fix swype, and that's it.. But that's just a matter of clearing swype cache.
Why not try the update? Everyone is having their own experiences, bad / good battery life, phantom reboots, lockups, great reception.. etc..
Why not try it out? You can always change it..

I ultimately tried it, but I'm screwed. I edited my Droidsansfallback.ttf to get soft emojis for my phone. During the update it stopped and said something about the file. I think it meant it was unverified. It also had a string of letters and numbers after it (DroidSansFallback.ttf, be7fksdsk1333, 340dj3045, etc). I'm re-downloading the stock rom in hopes that it will fix everything, but I chose no data wipe so I don't know.

Give an update after if you don't mind.
Are you going back stock el29 for the OTA or just using the ff18?
Did you make a backup of droidsansfallback prior to editing?
:edit: I'm wondering if you had the update still in cache and went with a stock ttf and tried replying the update. I don't know if a fail clears it out of cache though..

It's going to take an extremely long time [or a place with better reception] to download this. If someone could just send me the ttf it would be awesome.

Personally? I would root and use a custom recovery to flash a nicely built rom. But that's what I would do.
I can either get you the update zip, and some links are still active to the latest OTA, or you can go custom.

There are plenty of custom ics roms in the Dev section. And el29 is 2.3.6 btw depends on what you want, aosp(cm9, aokp) or tw(blu kuban, goodness, venum ice, etc) lots of choices, I personally only use aosp roms and exclusively aokp out of the choices.

Crawrj still has his link active. Very recent update and you can use the stock recovery to use as the update. Just say the word of you don't know how to boot into recovery and apply. No need to rename but you can of you like, just name it update.zip and place into your sdcard.

If you're using the link from the post above you, no, its not a full wipe. That is the ota file.

I have been on ICS since the update and although i like the interface i have been having nothing but problems. i ended up backing up with titanium and doing a reset of the phone, still having issues although not as much with the wifi.
phone freezes at time, wifi needs to be refreshed at times, phone runs slow and somewhat choppy (removed live wallpaper to help relieve.), when i click on apps there is like a fading delay transition into the app. Oh and battery will not last more thank 5 and a half hours... and that is with light to no use.
I am no thinking of going with a custom rom ( i am rooted with oden). what rom should i go with that will give a similair look to ics but without all the problems.

Is that 5 1/2 hours on screen time or total battery life?
And there are several Stock "look and feels" in the Dev section. As with any Rom, YMMV. It's just a matter of taste and all anyone can really suggest is reading through the threads and seeing what appeals to you. Read through in it's entirety to get known issues, compliments, fixes, adjustments, etc..

So yesterday stupid me decided to mess with my rom. I flashed to the starburst ROM and now my signal strength is terrible and my phone laggs so oooooooo bad. It basically can't doanything. I really need to know how to get it back to COMPLETE STOCK. factoryreset does nothing. I could even use a working stock rom. I have Clockworkmod btw.

Sorry the lag is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. But it sounds like you didnt follow directions on flashing the rom. Did someone forget to format /system?

You'll have to wait for an official update to get a full stock tar. The one that is out is really a kernel. From what was said the one that was on Sanny's website won't get past the 4G screen.
To really go to stock there is Zedomax's, but from what I am told he replaced the animation with his logo.
To get back to stock is on here somewhere. Good luck my friend.
If the O.P would just browse the development section, it's right there. Stock EG30 tar plus ODIN to get back to complete stock. It can't be past the first page.

I'm not new to flashing ROMs on my Evo, however your forums here are a little more cryptic. My son rooted his phone and flashed CWM and a Cyan Rom. He would like to return to rooted stock. Can someone point me in the direction of the latest OTA Stock Rooted Rom for the Samsung Galaxy S Epic II 4G? He apparantlly followed some video tutorial yada yad yada. I realize ROMs are probably flashed thru the recovery console, is flashing similar to flashing on an Evo from that point? (Boot to recovery -> work your way to Flash from Zip ...)

Instructions are on that page, just make sure you use the full restore, and not the preserve data or you can brick. At the current point we don't have a kernel built from source yet, because of this, you must flash back to stock rooted EL29 via ODIN OC or you will brick. I highly suggest you read my thread in my signature because flashing anything ICS for this phone can be extremely dangerous and will brick your phone if you aren't sure what your doing.
Just to be sure you are looking at the right thread, please go to settings>about phone. Make sure model number is SPH-D710. I only say this cause I haven't heard of a Cyan ROM, and (not trying to be a jerk), most people refer to this phone as the epic 4g touch. You got something weird up there, and there are at least 20 different versions of this phone (galaxy s2).

Ok, reporting back.
First we tried the 'don't overwrite data' option, everything appeared to be ok until the phone rebooted. It sat on the 4G splash screen in a continual restarting state for about ten minutes. We tried flashing that twice. After that we tried flashing the factory restore with root option, that worked just fine.
Thanks again for the input.
Now he'll have to restore all of his desired apps, but that's his problem, since I told him not to root in the first place. LOL.
Cheers.

I don't know about other's experiences, but my phone seems to be much more responsive in general after the update. Apps load and quit quicker, launcher is faster and smoother, and battery life is still about the same (very good for me at about 10% every 3hrs). I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Other than two weird resets in the first hour after updating, I have had no problems since and everything (wifi, LTE, GPS, etc) is working fine. The best thing for me is that K9 mail is so much faster and responsive with my 7 imap accounts.
PS - I was really hoping for the 3D panorama camera in this update, but alas no such luck.

Try these images.
Just downloaded the rooted Bell 4.1.1 rom and attempted to flash with mobile ODIN.
But this resulted in boot loop.
Could the stock recovery have be preventing this from working?
Should I flash CWM now?
The recovery you're using shouldn't matter, particularly.
I'm not really familiar with the way Mobile Odin does things; I would have used regular desktop Odin to do things.
Generally, you see a boot loop with stock images if you're going back and forth between stock and non-stock and you did not wipe cache/data during the process. You can carry out said wipes with the stock recovery.
Good, just did it on good ol' regular odin and it worked.
No idea what caused the loop with Mobile Odin, I was going from stock 4.0.4 (w/ root) to stock 4.1.1 (w/root).
I'm having some issues with my phone rebooting or powering off frequently, especially when I plug it into a charger. I don't think I have the power button issue. I suspect it is the battery (although the battery was replaced Oct 2012 at the sprint store) and have another on the way. I want to exhaust every possible option in testing, so I want to take my phone to off the shelf stock. I currently am running rooted sprint JB, and I am looking for a way to remove all user files on internal storage as well as the tweaks (have comadose installed and had kobridge before) just to make sure it is not from a bad flash. I know how to go back to stock unrooted GB27 with Nodata via ODIN, however I want to make sure ALL tweaks and user files are removed too. Ideas?

The only thing I can say is if you have a CWM recovery installed boot into it and wipe all storage areas with that, then use the ODIN one-click RESTORE version (not NODATA as RESTORE will wipe all user data from the phone). That's about the best I can do for you. I just did it the other day to my phone and it wiped literally everything from the device, including the custom boot-screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
A slip of the tongue, I meant restore, not nodata. I can mobileodin el29 directboot. What should I do in CWM to ensure all internal storage, system data, and tweaks is completely wiped? I usually use JB format all x2 but that doesn't delete pictures etc, so I am assuming it's leaving possible conflicts from flashing roms
OK, I flashed el29 directboot to CWM, formatted EVERYTHING I had an option to in CWM, did a restore to stock unrooted but it still knew my wifi password when the phone powered on which makes me think not all the data had been reset...
Try stock recovery do a "factory reset"after that it should ask you for wifi password.

If you are rooted, use Mobile Odin Lite to flash a stock EL29 KERNEL (.tar). - I would highly suggest this particular way as it's how I do it and I've never had any issues doing it with Mobile Odin Lite. Mobile Odin Lite
If you're going to use CWM to flash the stock EL29 KERNEL, use the .zip version.
You could also always try the One-Click EL29 KERNEL, but I've never used a One-Click before so I can't help you on that process but I'd imagine it's the same as flashing the ROM with a One-Click.

After that just do a factory reset through the stock recovery. You should be all set after that.

I used mobile odin lite to flash EL29 directboot kernel. This allows the use of CWM after flashing the kernel. Once in CWM I formatted everything I could in CWM and formatted cache and dalvik. From there, I used a one click desktop ODIN to flash stock sprint unrooted. IAfter all this, I am still having issues with constant restarts. I replaced the battery and am still having the problem. I am unsure if this is software or I have a power button issue. Does anyone have any tips I can try?

Well, then I'd probably say it's a power button issue, but I've also heard of moisture in the charger port (not necessarily liquid damage, could just be moisture in the air) might cause random bootloops as well. Could be a number of things, but you've stamped out your issue from being software related (as far as I can see). Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.
Depending on what stock ROM you want there's a one click you run through odin that's wipes the internal memory as well

Oh man... This is bad. You don't have to do all that confusing stuff!
Here is the link for the stock FL24 build for E4GT D710:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=116
Download that file, run it, put phone into recovery, plug phone into computer and press start once "COM" shows up on the one-click...the usual. When I use this, once the phone boots up I always just go into settings-->privacy-->restore phone and check format USB (that is if you want everything deleted off your SD card). I back everything up to my 64GB removable sd card before I do this.
Hope I helped!

Just curious, but any particular reason why flashing to stock ICS may be better than stock JB in this case?
Thanks.

It's not. I don't think he realizes that JB has gone official.

I go back to ICS because, at least in my area, 4.1.2 JB has not gone OTA which, imo, you can't go wrong with it. It's stable and it's just what I do. I'll eventually switch to a stock JB build for a one-click restore, just not yet. I'm not living under a shell I know JB has gone official.

JB is not an area specific thing... You can only officially get it over the wire from Samsung's site or by using kies. They will not do it over the air. So no matter where you are in the world, JB is official for all three variants of the E4GT.
ICS is the worst thing to hit the E4GT and is not stable. You obviously do live under a shell if you think it is. IMO, CM10.1 is more stable.
So, let's try not to make poor excuses with completely wrong information when posting next time.

Hahaha woah there dood...let's not get offensive, no need to be so harsh! If I've learned anything from Miley Cirus it's that
1) never let your weed-eater cut your hair and...
2)Everybody makes mistakes :good: :good:
Jesus man, sorry I haven't devoted my life to learning everything there is to know about cell phones just so I can take people down and attack them on online forums. Although, if that's all you can do to boost your self-esteem, then go for it. make me feel stupid! I am living under a shell. I make poor excuses. I am an idiot. I know nothing about anything. I should probably rethink my life.
Thank you, Mr. "Graydiggy" for this eye-opening experience
Rough night for me. My bad. All I am saying is that you should take more time to read. A little bit of bad advice could render someone's phone unusable. Even though your advice was decent, you could have possibly left someone in the dark when it comes to a much better version to use.
Like you said, mistakes are made, but some mistakes can cost hundreds of dollars. Its better to know what you are talking about and if you aren't sure, search for the answer.

Yeah I gotchu maynee..no worries, I was just kinda posting what I do and I still don't really think running a ics one-click versus a 4.1.2 one-click is a hundred(s) dollar midtake. For some reason though I hadn't even thought about downloading a 4.1.2 one-click. probably a lot easier and hassle free?
Its not that it is a costly mistake, but it can be quite troublesome. I was saying that one should know every detail of something before posting. I have seen many a brick happen do to someone saying to do one thing that was completely wrong. So even if it has no potential of bricking you, take into account that it could just be wrong.
GB27 Is the best in terms of stock ROMs. People that say otherwise either don't know what they are talking about or it's horrible user error and misinformation.

Update out! Check your Kies or flash via Odin.
From the Telus website;

BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS
-Actionable notifications will show up in the notification pane.
-Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
-With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
-As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. If they're too big, widgets resize on their own. If you choose to resize a widget, apps and widgets will now also move out of the way.
-Google Now automatically delivers relevant real-time information.
NOTE: Google is releasing this update in stages. Your smartphone will receive a notification when this update becomes available to you.

Download now HERE
If you are with Telus, you can flash this as well, see HERE
Edit: I attached vlingo.apk from ICS for anyone who misses the Samsung voice commands and driving mode for bluetooth headsets. I figured they would of put that in, as it is law for hands free driving in Canada...but I guess they needed space. Enjoy.
Downloading now! Thanks!
I had a feeling they were going to release it today, just flashed a rom last night.
Good thing im an addict, hehe
Its funny you check the add date of it on samsung firmware and it said that it was added Feb-27-13.
Watt.....4.2.1 official.....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's actually 4.1.2. I'm running it now. Haven't had a whole lot of time to try it out but it seems pretty nice so far. It's a huge change from 4.0.4, will take some getting used to before I'm sure of what I like about it and don't
Did you install with Kies or Odin? Are you on Telus or Koodo?
Based on the file names, it doesn't look like there is much functional difference between the TLS and the KDO (same radio this time around?). I'll be downloading tonight.
I'm on Koodo and I used Odin for the update. I'm guessing the only difference is going to be the boot screens.

What is there for bloat? Telus/ Koodo add any crap to it
Quick question about flashing with odin - Does this restore the stock recovery as well?

Yes, It will restore to like the day you bought it. except it wont wipe the internal or external sd, but i would recommend backing up your internal if you have important stuff on it just in case

Pretty much nothing. There's just standard Google/Samsung stuff.
Could anyone extract the radio if you have a chance please?

So what is this like? I'm running CM 10 right now, and quite frankly, don't see a reason to change. I'm having no issues with it at all. Anyone have an opinion on it?

Please change the title to 4.1.2. It is VERY misleading lol
Thanks! Will this update via Kies reset the phone to stock?
I've got CWM on it, but I don't use ODIN much.
