Try this.
I thought I had system updates disabled so I was kinda surprised by the notification. I knew LI3 was out a week or two ago but never received the notification so I was confident it was frozen by titanium backup. Upon further inspection, I never froze that process.
Thank you for the link, that's a really easy upgrade although I wasn't that concerned with LI3. I'll double check next time before posting what firmware I'm on and if my update is truly frozen. I wonder if there should be a sticky with information about the most current OTA and leaks, maybe not all the links but at least their ID's and when they were released as OTA or leaked to the community, with a short description of what we believe is included, not to discount the search bar but that may help with at least some of those 100's of posts (aparently including mine)
So freezing System Update 1.0.48 with titanium will prevent the OTA update pop up?

to hopefully decrease the number of posts from members in the coming days about the new OTA that Sprint/HTC released today (but will not officially "push" to devices until January 24,) I would like to point out some things to new members as well as veterans, as we see this happen every time a new OTA is pushed.
1. Number one rule, and i will cap this DO NOT ACCEPT A OTA UPDATE IF YOU ARE ROOTED. it has been said many many times here, and members with rooted phones do it anyways. why risk it???? we all saw the gingerbread debacle last year.
2. New HBoot. it seems the new ota update has a new h-boot, 2.18, and from what it seems and this may remain to be seen 100% it is not unlockable with revolutionary. i can not confirm this personally.
3. New Radios. seems the baseband /radio has been updated. we eagerly await caulkin to possibly update his posts with the new updates.
edit: seems new radios have been posted in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
4. Why the update? The big part of this update was to remove CIQ from the evo's. yay. There were small improvements to Peep (the htc twitter client) and other various fixes.
5. So when will my favorite rom be updated to the OTA base? well, we already have a stock rom based on the ota (actually 2!) , it is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1455340
so this is a start. your favorite rom will be updated by it's developer when the dev has time, last update we had (4.54) we saw a rapid update of roms.
6. Great, so has sense changed at all? No we are still at sense 1.0 sigh.
7. so how about the new kernel? it is now based on htc 2.6.35.10 dated december 21, 20011. Captain_Throwback has extracted the kernel standalone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
7a. What "hacks" work with the the new stock rom you posted? from what I have read, none of them, although people are still flashing/testing.
8. i have a question!! well use the search function and see if it has been answered, look here, the general threads, or the dev threads. I hope this will clear down some of the clutter that comes up during this wonderful thing called an OTA update.
Hi,
Just got an AT&T Captivate Glide, and am planning to root the phone soon. However, before I do so, I'd like to get some sort of official confirmation that the 2.3.6 OTA update will actually get rid of the CarrierIQ that AT&T embedded into the stock 2.3.5 kernel. I know that once the phone is rooted, applying the 2.3.6 OTA update afterwards will not remove root (at least according to some posts here at XDA), so I am not concerned about that.
Nothing official that I've read online anywhere about the 2.3.6 OTA update specifically mentions that CarrierIQ is removed. Otherwise, I will apply the Rogers kernel which doesn't have CarrierIQ. Can someone please confirm that the 2.3.6 OTA update definitely removes CarrierIQ?
Thanks!
Pls. Search in the forum, before opening new threads.
There are several posts which have discussed these topics

This update is now mentioned on Samsung's website. It says it does the following:
Updates to support CMAS (mentioned earlier - disaster alert system)
Removes CIQ
Updates Android to 2.3.6
Fixes an Exchange remote wipe bug

Thank you for the links. However, those are the ones that I've already read a while ago. Those two pages have absolutely zero mention about CarrierIQ being removed by the 2.3.6 update. This is precisely why I started this thread...to get some sort of official confirmation from either AT&T or Samsung that this update does indeed remove CarrierIQ.
If anyone has any official information, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Bump...anyone? I still can't find official confirmation anywhere that the 2.3.6 OTA update removes CarrierIQ.
I cant really answer your question, but someone know where to get the orginal zip file? signed for the android recovery 3e?
So here it is folks - after about 30 different ICS leaks Sprint has officially released it for the Epic 4G Touch!
History of Official OTA Announcements:
7/11/12 approx. 11:00 am CDT: Source Released on Samsung's Site. OTA will be FF18 based on revision note.
The recommended thread for source discussion is here.
7/12/12 8:45 am - Sprint officially announced OTA on blog. Link is here.
8/22/12 9:53 am - Sprint officially announced update FH13 by OTA. Link is here. Available by Kies and OTA.
10/10/12 8:58 am - Sprint officially announce update FI27 by OTA. Link is here. Appears to be OTA only.
Link to FF18 Stock + Root ODIN One Click (from sfhub):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
It has been confirmed that this package matches the OTA released on 7/12. Use this for rooting.
Link to official OTA (on Google servers):
http://android.clients.google.com/p...bbe3997e3067.SPH-D710_update_EL29_to_FF18.zip
Credit to devinrovell for posting the link!
Qbking77 has also put together a video on how to install it here.
(I linked both because I'm not sure everyone will be able to pick up the Youtube link.
A link to his thread to thank him is here.
Important Notes
Bugs will be in Post #2, including our confirmation that the emmc lockup is still vulnerable..
Post #3 will contain links to leaks, ROMs based on leaks and then those based on source.
Link to sfhub's EL29 ODIN One-Click (in case you want to go back to GB - kept by popular demand)
Bug Reports for OTA
Will be monitoring and adding as I can here.
eMMC Bug Status: Unsafe at kernel level due to existence of offending option.
Analysis and initial verification here. (Posts #679 for analysis, #680 for verification.)
Users are recommended to continue using GB for factory resets/wipes or installing a known "safe" kernel such as the one in the first post to avoid potentially locking up your internal memory card.
Those that should experience this from doing a factory reset and/or wipe please PM me as I will be tracking any such issues.
Devs using this source should remove the option to render the kernel safe. (Please check sfhub's notes on how to make safe other format/wipe points such as update_binary.)
Edit: See first post as one is already out based on source; others were already safe based on AOSP and sfhub's notes.
Swype Issues
Users are reporting issues with Swype after the OTA.
Confirmed solution:
1) Go to Settings > Applications and select the "all" tab.
2) Scroll down to Swype app, tap.
3) Select clear all data
You will lose saved Swype data but functionality will be restored. (Thanks to many who posted this in Pgs. 16 & 17)
Wi-Fi Sleep Issues
Sfhub summed it up greatly and provided a link to previous discussion - I'm pasting that here for reference:
sfhub said:
The WiFi deep sleep not reconnecting issue has been around for many releases
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27635600&postcount=3
They fixed it somewhere in between, but it got reinitroduced.

I also have a guide in Q&A for some custom wpa_supplicant.conf tweaks that have helped people on ICS. Feel free to look if interested.
Battery Issues
A lot of people have been mentioning battery performance and how it has dropped.
The CW (common wisdom) has been to suggest the following course:
1) Back up your phone contents.
2) Use sfhub's FF18 full Odin OC to wipe out /data and give yourself a clean slate.
(Normally a good idea whenever you do this kind of an update)
3) Turn off 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc and do a test battery drain.
If you get really lousy time here you may want to replace your battery.
4) One at a time start reintroducing your apps and functions.
As each may work differently on ICS it's better to do one at a time so you can identify what is draining the battery.
5) Once cause of excessive drain is found try to limit use.
For me it was leaving 3G/4G on when I don't need it. I turn on manually as needed.
I also leave BT, GPS as I only use < 1% of the time.
Please PM or note any bugs if noticed so I can document here - thanks!
FF18 Roms
As the leak matches OTA and has been verified I am removing the leak remark.
FF18 Roms & Stock Variants
Sextape's Leak (Stock, Unrooted)
Datajosh's Leak (Rooted, Odexed/Deodexed)
This is a stock rooted rom.
Sfhub's Odin One-Click (Full and Nodata versions)
This is a one click tar file with root that will load FF18. There are instructions on the thread. He also has the individual components available to download and flash through odin(tar, modem, kernel).
AGAT_v0.1.0 with tREC_v0.2.1
Stock kernel compiled from source (eMMC lockup trigger removed) and a few tweaks as mentioned in the first post.
Thanks to Agat63 and Chris41g for getting this out so quickly!

This will serve as the official OTA from Sprint thread. Let's keep this one on topic. Thank you and have fun! :highfive:
I'll get some videos up very soon for manually updating and such.
This post is now deprecated - please see the OP for download and or flashing instructions.
If you get the OTA prompt to download - please follow these steps to help out your fellow XDA'ers:
Steps to find OTA Link:
Download CatLog from the play store (free). Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dcatlog+android
When the OTA update is prompted you can look in the log cat results and find the direct Google download link URL. May take a bit of digging through the logcat but its not hard to find. Once you get the URL share it with others here. This way anyone who wants the official OTA can pull it down rather than wait potentially several days for it.
Edit: It will probably start with http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d710... to give you an idea of what to look for.
If anyone posts it here are steps to flash from EL29 stock: (note, this won't work if have a custom ROM, or if you modified any of the stock apps e.g. if you removed bloatware its not gonna work)
Steps to Manually Install OTA:
Rename the file to “update.zip” (without the quotes - make sure it isn't update.zip.zip)
Move the file to the root of your EDIT: SDCard on the ET4G
(Per results of others, stock recovery only looks at the root of a SDCard, not internal storage)
Shutdown your ET4G
Disconnect any USB Cable
Boot your phone into Recovery Mode
(Push and hold the the Volume Up + Power until recovery screen displays.)
Use Volume Down button to hightlight “apply update.zip”
Select with "home" button
Got a noobish question..
I got my GF the SGS3, and want to switch her over from the ET4G.
I would still be able to install the ICS OTA update even after I deactivated the ET4G, as long as I used the one click ODIN setup that typically gets posted in the Dev section, correct?
If im flashing the Cyanogenmod 9 should i flash back to stock and get the ota? or just stick with CM9?
Update just popped up!

If you're on CM9 and you're happy with it there is no need to flash the OTA.

Silly question time - What's your location if you don't mind me asking? (Not that I know if it has a bearing on roll out, I'm just curious)
GOOD GRAVY!!!!! You mean they released an OTA update with the emmc bug? That's freakin' scary! I guess they weren't listening to our devs after all. I guess the OTA won't trigger a full factory reset, but what if some poor schlub needs to for some reason? :shakes head: That's a shame.

Yes they did - I have noted this as a known bug. After I get the first 3 posts set up here I'll be venting about that a little more in the eMMC discussion thread.

In the rdf thread, jaysonp stated he had OTA and posted his build stats. Though not a screenshot, if what he posted was true and correct, am I correct in my assessment that the OTA is the same build as the FF18 leak and we already have it? Or do we need to wait for someone to pick apart the OTA to confirm?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Do they need to dig into the code to see if things are the same or would a simple md5 hash check accomplish the verification?
or at least it seems like it.
i downloaded the port over version the other day before all the "close this thread now" stuff. And i have loved it so far.
But, i just got a notification on my phone that said there was an update available, out of curiousity as to it being verizon or venom, i clicked download and it said the following.
"You using illegal copy of our ROM, to fix it apply update" and so forth and so on.
My question is the Venom rom now ready and they are just sending out an update to get up to their specs or is this update going to kill my phone. I have no problem taking this rom off and putting something on if this update was designed to kill the old version, just want to get some answers before i go in any directs.
was just struck off guard today with this development...
thanks,......

i don't think anybody would side with venom if they released an update that killed somebody's phone over a ported rom.

i agree, i was just trying to find out if anyone else had seen this and did the update to see what gives.
UPDATE: i tried to install the update and it fails every single time. not sure what it is supposed to do, but it fails. just thought i would shoot the update to everyone. i am fairly certain that i am not the only one.
thanks,
see if the ROM that we are using was ported from got an update.. since it's a port, it's likely the update is for sprint...
thought that is what it might be, but the "illegal" ROM part made me wonder a bit more than usual..

our server cant distinguish between actual kang roms (ie chinese ones which are so prevalent) and ports that are being worked on....my advice is to not use a venom rom on your verizon one until turge or jan release it via an official thread
it wouldnt be an update from verizon as its not a verizon based rom with verizon ota files in it

Perfectly said, Sir.
Hey guys, my Spring Galaxy S3 got a notification a few days ago saying "System update downloaded, Android system update."
I'm running 4.4.2 stock and I'm rooted. I have no idea what this update is. The size is 83.6 MB. If this is a proper update, I will probably lose root and I don't want that. Does anyone know what this update is specifically? And how can I get rid of it from showing up on my notifications if I chose not to update?
Thanks!

Some discussion over in the General and Development forums. Look for "NJ2".
Consensus is you will lose root, this breaks TowelRoot but not other methods.
Official description is "HD Voice Icon support, Google security patches".
Haven't seen any noticeable differences from the prior version.
