I just booted up my old Epic Touch after a long period of it collecting dust (Galaxy Nexus FTW) and I'm on a stock rooted Gingerbread build EL29 right now. Can someone, anyone please point me in the right direction as to getting this thing on the latest ICS build in the simplest way possible please! It would be very much appreciated!
Latest Official or leak ics?

Thank you man! I keep getting prompted to update but since I'm rooted with a custom recovery I don't think I can! I can just install these via Odin and be good to go correct?

Which one are you looking to go to? That way I can reference the proper op and files.
If you're looking for suggestions, I'd personally go with Fi03.

I'm good with trying FI03. How would you go about installing? Odin I'm assuming?

If you're going Rooted, Garwynn has the One Click's available. Full restore and No-Data versions. Be sure to use Version #2. For ease, I'd suggest that method.
The Unrooted from RWilco are the tar packs for Odin if you'd rather go that route.
Both links have the instructions in the Op's.
Just remember that you'll lose the custom recovery and you'll have to follow the process to get one back.
Give an update on how it goes.
:edit: And I failed to mention, and I know Pp would say - You don't have to update and can try the update notification stop methods if you'd rather leave it where it is currently.

The latest update for the Epic Touch is launching today(12/7). Some people are already getting the OTA.
The first member who gets the update please post it
Thanks
That's the best news I've heard since earlier....(facepalm)
The bummer is we already have it so until there's a .tar we will still have the modem issue

I think jmejiaa from the other thread has received the update. I have already asked him to post the update.

So if you are on a custom ROM, will the update push / prompt? Or do you have to go back to stock?
Does it matter if the custom ROM is EG30 or EK02 based?

Oh no, I don't have it. Sorry if it seemed like I did.
I'd be glad to grab the update if I am pointed towards some instructions on how to do that. My phone is not rooted it that matters.

You won't get an OTA on a custom ROM

Question: I'm rooted and on Calkulin's Rom. Should I accept OTA update when I receive it?
Does this Unroot or brick my phone?
Will I still get the update even if I did the qbking manual update? 100% stock not rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think the bottom line is, if you have anything but stock EG30 on your phone (ROM, kernel and modem) the update will download but the install will fail. I doubt it will brick your phone as the update probably does version checks before it starts the install process.
Same goes for people with the EG31 modem. You folks will have to wait for a TAR leak.

theres no proof of that eg31 was provided by a sprint tester so that would mean his phone wouldnt take the ota either? we will just have to wait and see! but you do have to be on a stock not rooted phone and currently the only way to get back to completely stocl is with the eg31 tar
So im guessing a factory restore odin of eg30 is in order.

unfortunately that wont work to get update, its not original sam-firmware tar
If anyone is on stock EG31, gets the update pushed to them and it works - please let us know
just went to stock eg31, flashed the odin tar, no luck!

Yea we'll just have to wait it out then and stick w/ stock kernels for now. So far i haven't gotten a single LOS since flashing it. It's def a bummer tho, I wanna go back to those fancy kernels.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL BUILD FOR A REASON, THERE WILL BE BUGS, SO DON'T WHINE IF YOU FIND ONE, FIND A FIX INSTEAD
Here is the complete tar for the FB21 build, I replaced the Sbl with the EG31 one so reset jigs will still work afterwards
Side note - If you having issues with drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers worked for me
Extract tar first, then flash tar file through the PDA option in Odin
D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB21_CL159837_REV02_user_w_Sbl_EG31.tar.zip
And for those that just want the modem, here it is
E4GT_Modem_FB21.zip \ E4GT_Modem_FB21.tar - Zip must be flashed through a CWM based recovery & Tar must be flashed through the PHONE option in Odin
FAQ
If your having issues with Odin recognizing the phone after flashing this, use these instructions
Go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, update driver, click browse, let me pick from a list, select all(wait till it loads), find Samsung Co and install one of the ones that have modem in the name
first gonna flash right now and will post results later tonight, thanks calkulin
Yeeeeeaaaaa!!!!

no reason why it won't flash the rom though
Downloading this and flashing it. Going to try to use this as a daily driver until we have a more final version (tired of gingerbread, lol).
Edit: Just installed it and it's working great so far. Probably a dumb question, but this isn't rooted, correct?

There just way too many threads regarding official ics update. So can somebody please guide me. I'm currently rooted running cm9 I want to go back and install the recent update. With the 3d it was easy because I could just place the rom in my SD card and install it. But from what I'm reading there is extra steps I need to take on the epic. Thank you for your help!

God already gave me 7 so I'll pass on the kids but...
If you want flash the OTA update, flash back to EL29 stock (search EL29 One Click). The OTA ROM has been posted here ("How to manually update..." in General Forum) so just follow the instructions (I believe rename to update.zip, then go to stock recovery and select "install update.zip") but that is from memory.

I'm totally new to Samsung too. I use HTC. But I got my mom a gnex and rooted it with a custom recovery to maintain it properly for her. Maintaining Sammy is different from maintaining HTC.
How do I get the stock recovery back so I can take the firmware ota? I dont see a firmware ota I can just fastboot or recovery flash and the gnex forums are a total mess.

Agreed - please be careful where you post as each device has its own builds.
I understand it's not, and wouldn't use any files for another device. Just saw this post on front page of xda app, and since my question was similar, I figured I'd throw mine in, too. Thanks though.
Edit: and my god, the gnex forums are a MESS because the diff carriers and unbranded etc.

Thanks alot for your help and mobile odin I may get and throw it on my external. Again thank you.
Had my old S2 for almost a year a it broke 2 days ago. It was replaced under advanced exchange, so I got a refurbed unit running FI27.
I am in the process of moving to another apartment and I don't have internet access, so I need to do this while I am at work today. I've tried to read all of the stickies for the past hour and I am more lost than ever.
It was so long ago when I rooted my original S2, that method obvioulsy no longer works.
Just need a link to what the easiest way to root and install a recovery on my device for FI27.
I know someone knows off the top of their head and can point me right in the direction. I'm in a time crunch and could appreciate the help!
TIA...

That should get you root.
Or you could flash el26 one click exe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26295021 and then flash a rom.

So I used the no-data to flash and get root.
However, trying to get a recovery on. Can I just use Rom Manager to install CWM? I was going to use it flash CWM recovery, but it asked me to confirm the phone model, and I didn't see the sprint version listed.
Nevermind, I installed Agats FI27 recovery, all is well!
Thanks guys! Should be good now!!
No don't do that. Google mobile Odin lite and dl the free one from XDA. Then flash the kernel I linked for safety. Then you can flash anything.
