Has anyone seen a link for downloading the update directly from google? I remember on the original epic there was usually a download link posted within hours. I have been waiting for one to show up here but haven't seen one yet.

Pardon this noob question but... you do need odin to install this zip file right?!

No, you install it from STOCK recovery (not CWM recovery)
And this is just like what is pushed from sprint? Another dumb question but I'm not rooted and want to make sure I'm OK.

It's not "just like" it is "exactly" the same URL your Sprint phone is using to download.
Yes, it will work fine for an unrooted phone. If all you did was root using the auto root thread, it would work fine too.
Call me a noob when it comes to phones but I was finally able to find directions on sprints community board on how to manually update to 2.3.6... Here it is...
Download the first link for stock phones here: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/3459-ACS-How-to-Manually-update-to-EK02-Android-2.3.6! You can watch the video or do this: rename the downloaded link to "update.zip" (without quotes) move it to your external SD card turn off phone turn on phone while holding power button and volume up button until you boot into the recovery mode press volume down once, then hit the "home" button select update.zip and hit home button when its done, reboot the phone by choosing reboot the phone in the recovery mode.

On a side note... I updated to 2.3.6 from fully stock e4gt.. no root access, or custom roms, no clockwork mod either...

Use the EK02 ODIN OneClick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634
All the ones after that are pre-rooted. EK02 is completely stock because the zergrush root exploit still worked on it. If you use the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN OneClick, you can still get 100% stock in a few seconds by running Option B (Unroot) in the Auto Root package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383678
Most of the time the Sprint techs won't care that you are rooted, I'm just letting you know in case you get one of the annoying ones.
Chances are your problem was resolved since it's been ~5 hours, but anywho...
Number one: please use full stops as it makes your post SO much easier to read and understand.
Number two: that triangle + "custom OS can brick your phone" is ODIN/download mode. Just restart the phone (volume down button OR hold power button OR battery pull).
my concern is that it over heated while running miui is this something i have to worry about ?

What were you doing ? These phones can overheat when charging and playing games etc ....anything that's CPU and gpu intensive .... But if it was doing nothing and just overheated yes take it in to sprint ....
My phone would get really hot when playing order and chaos ....

Volume down and power is download mode ie Odin
Volume up and power is cwm
If you try up and power and get regular recovery u will need to Odin a cwm kernel again ....

Hi, is anybody else having the following issue?
I am currently running Venom Rom with stock kernel but the problem started after I flashed Charmaleon Rom.
I have absolutely no sound on any app. No ringtones/no media/no alarm sound etc.
Also when playing a youtube video, the video plays really quickly. A minute video will be done in 10 seconds or so..
I have done a couple of full wipes with no effect
Can anybody help please?
EDIT:
Just to add, just made a call and the speaker works on loudspeaker when on a call. I'm so lost
Nobody?
Any tips or pointers at all would be appreciated
Sounds odd. Maybe the best thing to try is to go completely back to stock ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yup factory reset the sucker.
If the sound works you should then take the opportunity to root that baby.

Damn you are rooted. Erm, go back to stock see if that helps. Unroot and factory reset. Then reroot.

Unroot? I'm guessing you mean go back to stock and relock the bootloader?
Would i just have to flash the necessary O2 RUU from the stock ROMS thread and then relock?
Cheers for the responses guys

As an update, I tried the complete back to stock route and still no sound.
I'm having the exact same issues described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677132
Including choppy youtube as I mentioned in the first post.
I've tried the solution that worked for the OP of that thread but I'm still without sound
Anybody got any ideas?
evening fellow rooters and droid users
i never ran into root problem before with any of my past previous phones but there is first for anything these days. so it be greatly appreciated if i can get any input from anyone about my problem.
i have tmobile galaxy s3
droid version 4.0.4
i followed the step of downloading odin3, cwm superuser and clockworkmod.tar.
copy cwm superuser zip file to my sd card
boot into download mode. ran odin3, click on PDA and locating the clockworkmod.tar
i've been reading mix instructions of UNCHECK and/or UNCHECK F Reset Timer. which one is correct?
press start everything passed and the phone automatically reboot.
powered off the phone and hold VOLUME UP and HOME and POWER button to try to get into CWM recovery tool. but i end up getting into android's recovery system NOT CWM.
where do I go from there? i re-install and used odin over 5 times already and no changes.
what should i do?
Read this it should take care of it. let me know how it goes.
i appreciate your reply however it didn't resolve anything.
the installation of the cwm.tar file supposedly say success and not failed.
i just can't seem to get into CWM recovery.
i am assume the installation of that cwm recovery.tar file didn't go thru?
Ok the other thing you can try is after you flash via odin remove the battery before it reboots when done flashing thru odin. Wait about 5 to 10 seconds put battery back in and hold volume up + home button + power button and when you see the little blue letters on the top left of the screen let go of all the buttons and it should take you into CWM. Then install superuser.zip. reboot and then you can flash recovery from either rom manager(cwm) or goomanager (twrp) and it will stick. Let me know what happens. I'll be checking the thread for your results. We will get you rooted!!!!

u beat me to the punch sir.
i was just going to say i found solution by removing battery after the installation pass.
problem solved. hopefully someone makes a note/sticky that anyone with version 4.0.4 on tmobile galaxy s3 should remove battery as instruction and take off auto-reboot.
thank you sir
Glad you got it bro, and welcome to the madness.

Its probably because after any ota update stock recovery will rewrite at boot.
Delete these
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Reinstall cwm and youre good to go.
Ive got a fw thread stickied in development and will be adding this and more soon. Will try to start on it tonight.
Theres another way without battery pull btw. Check there later and ill explain it.

I didnt see that, but its the only reason Ive seen that recovery wont stick after a reboot. They only put those files in with otas as its how they patch/update the recovery. You shouldnt see them any any of the odin flashable firmware.

Try to reflash the stock rom via odin need to boot into cwm and clear every thing first. Hope that helps. Hope someone else has something else to add. Good luck..
