Develop Bugs

Update is launching today!

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.

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.

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.

Need help

I rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery and i'm wanting to unroot it and take it back to when I first got it it came with el29 how would I go about getting out unrooted,I downloaded the stock el29 ROM and was following qbkings guide to unroot with Odin but the file I have is a zip file and in the guide he is using a tar file inside the zip file is a .tar.md5 file do what do I do?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

You should go back to the development section and download the .tar and flash that with Odin. But since you have the zip you just flash that through CWM and it'll take you back to stock.

Well that revert the cwm recovery to? And could you post a link to the tar file?

The cwm should stay the same I believe. I would use the. Tar.

You can stay rooted wait a day or 2 after the otas start being pushed and get a rooted version of the ota, the ota on sprint isnt starting march 1 like the intl version so it could still be a while most likely will be a month or so b4 sprint starts getting any ics otas as the leaks are still buggy

I am fairly new to samsung so I want to be safe.....thanks.

What is your end goal?

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.

My end goal is being able to install roms safely, I currently used the eg4tauto lite to install agat recovery and just want to be sure this recovery is safe enough. Thanks.

[Q] How to switch from CM10 to stock jellybean

So I'm giving my wife my galaxy s3 since I'm getting the nexus 4. I was running CM10 and she does not like cm10 and prefers touchwiz. So how do I safely go to the official tmobile jellybean update without bricking the phone. Need help been searching the forums all night. Thanks

Just flash the .zip if you want to stay rooted or you can odin which sometimes loses root. All you would have to do is flash recovery then flash the .zip with root injected to recover.

So I tried to flash the stock deodexed in cwm and it installed but I was stuck at the black samsung boot up screen. Is there like a step by step method of doing this. I'm still new to the whole odin thing and dont quite understand it.

Did you Odin back to stock? Or did you flash the .zip? There was two files on that thread I linked you to. The top one was an Odin file. The bottom one was the .zip to flash.
To use Odin DL the file then unzip the .tar and Odin it.

NP man. I was switching back and forth between ICS and jb and realized it was not only messing my SD card up but I had glitches galore on my jb ROMs. I reformatted my sdcard and Odin back to stock jb and have been running jb every since. I had a hard time understanding the process of Odin then flashing the ROM that was already rooted.
