OTA ICS update Epic Touch 4g on Boost

Just received the ICS update prompt. Is it safe to do so being on Boost?

So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.
Sent from my E4GT running the blu kuban!

Yes on boost service and received ota ics notification update.

What build?

Please post which version you end up with. Suspect FF18 but hey, wishful thinking never has stopped!

Been wondering about the update also would love to get rid of gingerbread but don't want to get rid of the settings for boost....don't have the money right now to reflash lol

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now

Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

Ha guess I'm pretty famous around here
Anyways from what I have found is that no rom I have flashed on this phone has messes up the radio settings where all the carrier settings are stored. You should be fine. But that being said flash at your own risk ha.

Jelly Bean?
If you accessed that through Phone properties it's legit, but I was pretty sure until moments ago that it wasn't going to be Jelly Bean, let us know!

Hmm, i got the same message!
Wonder what that is, I love software upgrades and the bugs that usually follows :laugh: (no sarcasm)

Yes, root is gone with the update. You will have to patch it again. Toolkit makes it easy to re-root it without any problems.

Sprint releasing Jelly Bean OTA October 25th

Soo.. Sprint will be dropping JB rolling out October 25th! Letting one and all know.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Just a theory, maybe the LAxxx version is for in place OTA upgrades and the LBxxx is the full ODIN/wipe version?
Be interesting to compare the actual files after release.

So we're the first US variant of the Galaxy S3 to get Jelly Bean? Sweet.

I believe the version changes once it hits Sprints hands. I think they have their own system for it

So for those of us that installed the latest leak in stock form still get the update?

This ota seems to be the same as the latest leak. It might have a few tweaks but probably nothing major. If your already rooted and on rooted stock, just wait for the rooted stock version to update to, or go back to EL29 and unroot and then wait for the update.
Sprint rolls out OTA's in waves though, so your looking at a few weeks in waiting time possibly.

That's what I thought
Anyways. I talked to a friend who works for sprint corporate in Overland Park and he confirmed this

This is exactly why Sprint's the bomb. They invest the most out of getting device support of any other carrier.

lol my bad. Didn't mean el29! I was helping another 2 other technicians to reflash software on a E4GT at the same time writing that.
Multi-tasking... not as much fun as it seems. Sucks when your the so called "go to" guy.

To think that we're actually getting the latest os version before the next nexus comes out. Samsprint you have come a long way

Got my update at 6:00 am EST this morning.
I kinda like this Samsung ROM. Not sure I want to ditch it to root and try other ROMs that are probably more buggy at this stage, unless I can guarantee full recovery to stock and hopefully not take up too much space storing ROMs (9GB user space is getting used up fast!).
I was hoping for an update that would improve other things, such as batter life, for one.
I see that Samsung released an update recently on international versions (build number ending in MDM) that may have improved other things besides what is reported to be improved in this build pushed from T-Mobile. Can someone shed some light on this? How do we know if T-Mobile has pushed fixes that include the latest Samsung updates? In my 'About Device' in settings, I see Android version 4.2.2, Kerrnel version 3.4.0-453951, and Build number JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL, which I believe is this update.

The system partition's size does not change no matter what you flash. You can return to stock, see guide.

Is the kernel locked on this one?
Locked kernel = can't install recovery via goo or ROM manager.. And must use ODIN. O;

Yeah that's what is disclosed, but maybe they made some framework charges that are subtle that not everyone notices. I'm not installing until it's confirmed to not have a locked kernel. 16mb could include what they said with some small changes that aren't disclosed.
