I got the ICS 4.0.4 OTA update back around 7/12 and phone became a useless brick finally got the original GB 2.3.6 back on the phone and rooted ...
About 4 days after getting the phone back in working order the ICS OTA update was sent again and i would receive a notification message indicating to perform the install or do later about every 3 hrs or so...
Tried a trick by setting the date to way out in the future like 2025 the flip the date back to automatic and that would keep the message at bay for about 24hrs or until a reboot or power up happened...
So the next thing i tried was Root Explorer i removed '/fota.rc' and also the downloaded ICS update under '/cache'
So far the second option has prevented the notification message from reappearing until a reboot or power on happens ...
Theirs gotta be a another file i am missing that needs to be removed to prevent the power up notification from happing ...
Thanks in advance for the help its really appreciated

Ok Im a newbie to the rooted epic 4g touch, now I one clicked my epic 4g touch with sfhubs ff18 one click. Now I heard that they are rereleasing the update to fix ALOT of issues. My question is will I get the notification for the update on my rooted phone and will it put my phone back to unrooted if I do? Also if it doesnt send me the notification will someone be posting another one click no data odin link for the new update so I can get the fix? Sorry but not sure how updates work on rooted phones.

There is no new update release. They are resuming the previous release, with the only change being the updater script now automatically wipes data from the Swype keyboard to fix that particular bug.

So then they arent fixing the battery issue?
The battery issue has been resolved for several people I know that have removed all of their user installed apps and reinstalled one by one till they find the app that isn't ICS ready.

It might sound weird how i resolved the battery issue. I went to settings and unmounted sd card. Then restarted phone. Then inserted card, mounted, and let it go through its motions, when it stabilized... I restarted it again.
All is well. Run cpuspy to check making sure its going into deep sleep properly, remove apps or set them to manual update. Im not a big Facebook guy, i have an account, but the recent update forced 1 hour check ins, preventing deep sleep. Be vigilant in checking apps anytime they update.
This ff18 (two weeks or so im on it) is fabulous and smooth for me. No rooting, i did the YouTube guy update real easy

Same here... Not sure how to fix this issue and I downloaded betterbatterystats and cant figure out how to use to figure out what the problem is.. Hope someone FINALLY has the answer to this battery problem!
So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.
Thats it!

You guys know of any solutions? And if not I might have to revert back to the previous version even then I still don't know how to do that.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

Are you interested in trouble shooting or are you to the point that you're set to jump back to ICS?
If you are interested in trying to figure out your issues; we'd need to know which FK23 you used to start. You said you were stock/unrooted so I'd assume you used the .tar file with Odin, but I don't want to assume.
Like third son, I use Fk23 as my dd and have, so far, had a great experience to my delight. I used the intial .tar with pc Odin.
I would start from scratch. Sounds like you got a flacky install.
I guess I can try again... I followed the youtube video from qbking77 so whatever the video used is what I used lol
I mean I like this update but to buggy for me
So ill give it one more try. Any other way to try it would be great

+1 to this.
OP - Try this link. (I'm am not saying it's better than _dan's, Mattix's, garwynns / nor am I saying unrooted is better than rooted. I'm saying this is the build that's my DD and has been great for me.)
Be advised to backup everything important from your phone prior. Read everything and take your time. I know you were busy but don't rush.
If you have any questions, I'm sure there are a ton of people willing to answer.
The Tar is complete (Rom/kernel/modem)

I got 16hr of battery yesterday with over 3h of screen time and still had 32% left in my battery before I plugged it in.
I had some problems using AGATs recovery. I did an initial install of the TAR (which erased my internal SD) then I flashed the one click and AGAT ( when they were first posted.and had some screen brightness issues) I tried a nandroid with the recovery and it nuked all my apps. I went back to the TAR (with ODIN) and have rooted stock now with no problems. Used Titanium backup to rid myself of the Sprintware. Waiting for source to droppatiently waiting :crying:waiting....:angel:
Don't give up on FK23 yet...once it is installed correctly it hits on all cylinders......

No, you don't have to reflash ICS. When you get home and if you have questions before hand, just ask.
Everything you mentioned works fine for me. Except apps disappearing from homepage, I got that too. Unless you move them to the internal sd it will keep happening. Hopefully that's fixed with FL04.. I have way too much apps and need as much on external as possible.

If you have the modem flashed already, don't worry about that one. Look on "about phone" to find out. The rooted one click will give you both kernel and rom. Are you familiar with how to do that? Not being a wise guy....just asking....

If you're stock unrooted, there's no way around that message. It's weird that it's been that long though. You could try dialing *#*#2432546#*#* then check again.
Upgrade it using Samsung kies. You can do it on demand any time.
