I just restored from nanfroid back to el29 and started receiving the ota update I tried to install the update but it didn't work. How can I get the update to install.

Won't work if you're rooted. Look for sfhub's sticky with the FF18 One- Click package in general (iirc)
EDIT: It's in dev

Ff18 ota update is no better, your best bet is to stick to gingerbread with a theme, like Calkulins E4GT v. 3.0 with Overstew's 2.5 ics theme. Something like this.

All ROMs are in Development. The title tells you what firmware they are. All of Epic ROMs are great. Pick one.

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.
There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

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

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?

Sorry if this was addressed before in another post but...
Is there any benefit of rolling back to stock EL29 and then OTA updating it to FF18 and root it than continually using sfhub's FF18 Full Restore - Rooted?
Like is there any small changes between the two, even though they are the same kernel, build and everything?
Sorry for the newb question ;x
Nope.

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

lol this always makes me laugh.. all you need to do is read.. blu kuban works great but every phone differs.. there arent any major issues.. and if you want others opinions u can at least list the "issues" your having

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

I have a rooted s2 which I just rooted the other day, but now I'm getting an alert For an update. I don't wanna lose root.
is there anyway to block it?
or update it and not lose root?
thanks in advance

Yes. And if you are on a custom rom it may just bootloop. You may be able to find an ota killer on here.

Quick question since you said you just rooted the other day; what's your current build?

There's also this, don't know if you have seen; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774282
edit: It has been found not to be build specific. Meaning it was put out when FF18 came but it has been used after and stopped FH13 as well)
And then this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31192830&postcount=29
But if you want to update and stay stock (you'll have to odin/mobile odin a custom recovery) check out this handy thread by Rwilco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
One easy thing to do would also be to just get a no-data rooted one-click. that way you keep root and you also get a new build.
