You don't need to use odin at all. the link right under the odin version is for clockwork mod. Which if you are rooted already you should have that. download that zip put it on the internal part of your phone and reboot into recovery. flash the file and reboot and it's done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] towncop1978:
it downloaded as a md5, should i delete it and keep it as zip? doing it cwm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You can get whatever combination of el29 you want from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

There are versions that keep your data, reset your data, pre-rooted, also individual components as separate flashable downloads (2nd post, modem, kernel, stock rom, pre-rooted stock rom)

I would suggest you flash one of the pre-rooted el29 packages in the first post, then use the Auto Root sticky, Option C to install cwm. Doing it this way will avoid the yellow triangle.

Hey guys. I just want to make sure that in order to get the el29 update I must be on stock ROM is correct? And can it be rooted or no? Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If all you did was root using the auto root package, the el29 ota update will install fine. If you installed ek02+cwm using option C, then just rerun option C and install ek02 kernel

If you used your root.priviliges to modify or delete files in your rom, then you need to undo yhose yourself, possibly using an early cwm/nandroid backup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quocstazz:
I'm on calkulin 2.8.1 (el29) with rogue 1.4.0. So I just need to flash stock ROM and possibly stock kernel also?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mephime:
Didn't see where the question was really answer, but is the ota update any different from the leak,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
There is another post noting that there is something different about them. Some say debugging mode.

I think I will wait for an official OTA with root that I can flash onto my rotted phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nowakezone:
Does anyone have the ota download location so we can install it manually? Or is the ota file posted somewhere on here that i may have missed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mephime:
I agree with you, I think I will wait also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Well I have already dropped back to EG30 total wipe. Got the EK02 OTA and am now waiting for the EL29. Once I get it I'll post all the numbers to see which ones are different than the EL29 we have here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
If I want to wait, how do keep the update from continuously popping up in notifications?

EDIT: I'm gonna try freezing "system updates" using titanium back-up...hopefully this does the trick (I'm just not sure cause there are a couple of samsung "com" files in there)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mephime:
I have not recieved the update notice yet, I wil just ignore it until one of two things happen, 1 they verify that there is no difference then I will flash the one with root already, 2 there is a difference but the great guys here have fixed the one click root for the update. I have been getting the update notice on my old epic but have not updated as of yet either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Whats all the hubbub over samsungs OTA. Hell I never stay stock. This is me patiently and appreciatively waiting on the talented group of dev's to push some flashables out.

Thanks for all the hard work to all et4g dev's. Big hugs all around.:p

I for one have never received a OTA notice ever. pretty sure its because my phone is always ahead of the curve with all the smartypants we got up in here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
...so freezing "system updates" using titanium back-up didn't work, I'm still getting the update notification every 30 mins or so. Do I have to use terminal to disable? or is there an easier way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
So anyone that is already getting the update want to actually pull it and get it to a dev to see about getting us the modem and other things that might be actually different from what samsung released 3 weeks ago?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Centsless:
So if i am currently on EG30 stock rom using quick root (without CWM), how do I take the OTA update without losing root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
As far as I understand you can't. You must be stock unrooted.but you can search through the development forum and find the cwm zip for EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Centsless:
Thanks so much, if I run into the problems that others are with gps and modem can i go back? Sorry for the noobness but I'm getting re-acclimated to this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The way the OTA updates work, usually they can only upgrade from a particular version to the next.

In your case, there are actually 2 pending OTA updates. One from EG30 to EK02 and another from EK02 to EL29. With the first update (EG30 to EK02), it'll disable your root (but Superuser will still be in the app drawer). Just re-run Auto Root and you'll be rooted again. With the 2nd update (EK02 to EL29), they patched the exploit used by Auto Root. If you want to still remain rooted, I suggest you use the pre-rooted ODIN One-Click in my signature. It basically run Option A (root) of the Auto Root package for you, using an alternate means of install.

If you want to make sure you can get back to where you started, it is best to install CWM (Option C in Auto Root) and make a CWM/Nandroid backup, storing a copy off your phone. Then you can be assured if things go bad, you can always get back to where you started. CWM won't backup the modem, but you can install the modem separately after doing the CWM/Nandroid restore. That would leave you back where you started.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Centsless:
I know this may be a dumb question but if my current setup is running well, and the only thing I would truly gain from the updates is removing CIQ (unless I'm missing something) is there really a solid reason to update and risk it? The only features of root I'm really using are Freezing stock apps in TB and Sixaxis Controller. Again, sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks so much for your help.

Also: Is removing the CIQ via Auto Root stable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
IMO there is nothing ground-breaking in EL29. There are minor changes here and there. If there is a specific problem you are looking to get addressed then it might be worth it to check it out in your situation.

Disabling CIQ through Auto Root is very stable since it does it through standard Android facilities. It is also reversible. Either way (disable or enabled) it won't affect your ability to get future OTA updates either, since it doesn't modify the ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jra2882:
error

I got that update and since I'm rooted and have EL26 I believe I would have to go back to EL30 and then go to EL29 is that correct? I used your root option and it worked really well and used the free overclock and this phone is awesome.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

after looking I have the EK02 Baseband version so I would proceed to EL29? And does the update come back or is there some where to download it? Thank You
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
If you want the OTA, you need to start from a stock EK02 ROM - autoroot should allow you to accept the OTA unless you flash a different kernel and/or CWM.

There hasn't been a comparison between the "leaked" OTA and the official, but it is likely to be the same. In that case, there are stock and customized ROMs in the dev section that are based on EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jra2882:
Ok the update came to my phone but it gave me a triangle so I just rebooted so I will have to look for the cwm mod to go to el29 with out losing all of my data and then download a new rom since I'm on one right know that works for ek02.

Thank You Very Much for your quick replay

question on el29 modem

ok I flashed the el29 modem. Is it ok to run an el26 kernal with the el29 modem? and is the only way to update to the el29 kernal and modem is to use odin to flash completly?

Thank You
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yes you can run either or really makes no difference. And no there are CWM zip installs that let you just flash them via clockwork and they work just as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
so i downloaded terminal emulator and did the "pm disable com.samsung" thing and I still am getting this stupid update notification all the time...wtf?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
From my stock unrooted EK02 phone I got the prompt for the new EL29 update. I let my phone update and now I'm on the stock OTA EL29. If anybody wants me to pull the my stock OTA let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, please post the OTA update.zip. It should be in your /cache directory. It should be named with some combination of numbers/letters, SPH-D710, update EK02 to EL29 (or something like that)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brandobean:
Just bought a e4gt coming from a standard epic, and am familiarizing myself with the releases and ROMS from this phone. I'm running with EK02 and was about to use autoroot to root but then read of the EL29 being pushed from sprint over the next 10 days. Here is what I think I know. Can folks check me on this?

1. The currently being pushed EL29 ROM is identical to the leaked EL29 that has been around for weeks and that many ROMs are based off.

2. If I root EK02 but don't modify any ROM files (I.e. don't run shut up camera to fix that horrible un-mutable shutter sound) then I could receive the update OTA but it would break root. Also, installing CWM would break the ability to receive the OTA update.

3. To Re-get root after the OTA update I would have to basically ODIN a pre rooted EL29 ROM (because EL29 is not auto-rootable) which would erase all my data from EK02 I just spent 15hrs putting on my phone.

So my question is... is there a way to go from non-rooted stock EK02 to rooted EL29 while keeping all my data?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
I swear I am going to quote this on every page. Sfhub has posted this like 3 times now. This version has even been written in detail. So for all with questions still plz do a lil more reading and a lot less cluttering,if thats even a word. Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
1) It is very likely the same update that's been around. There was a little confusion earlier because Sprint posted the wrong software version number by mistake, but then later on they corrected it. Until someone can really compare every file, we can't say for sure, but it is very likely.

2) is basically correct. If you install EK02+CWM, just install EK02 and you would have restored the ability to receive the OTA.

3) there is a version of the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click which doesn't erase your data. It is the NoData version. If you are already on EL29 because of the OTA update, I would use that version as your data will be preserved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
I can't access the folder with root explorer because im not rooted. Using the el29 rooted tar with Odin wipes my phone therefore that defeats the purpose. How else can I pull the ota off my phone in stock unrooted condition? I believe el29 has no root method available at this time. Im not sure what to do at this point. I tried your auto root files with no luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I don't know how but talk him through adb. I think if he rebooted after the update, it might have been erased
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you wanted a rooted EL29, you can ODIN flash a pre-rooted EL29 using one of the ODIN One-Clicks in my signature. There are 2 version, one resets your user data, the other does not. Since you already have EL29, I would suggest using the NoData version (2nd version) which keeps your user data. After that, if you want CWM, use the auto root sticky, Option C, to install CWM.

If you want to help the community out and are willing to do some work, then let me know and we can proceed further.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
I only reverted back to stock EK02 so I could see if the new EL29 OTA was pushing out in my area. Sure enough it is and I didn't even have to check, it pipped up rifht away on its own. I would like to help the community by uploading the new OTO, so yes I do need some help or else i'm going to scrap this stock setup and reroot tomorrow night. Any instructions would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Try rooting your stock ek02, but don't apply the update. Install root explorer. Hopefully the update is still there. Find the update and copy it to your ad card then to your computer. I wouldn't let the update do its thing because you might not be able to root it afterwards. Give the update to a dev.

Aww, screw it. I'll Odin back to ek02 and see if I can snag the update.

I just ran a md5 check on the modem from the ota update and the cwm flash modem of EL29. They are the same modem. My suggestion is to download the EL29 Odin prerooted, then use autoroot to flash the EL29 compatible cwm recovery and you're set.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The OTA EL29 is confirmed to be EXACTLY the same as the leaked EL29.

I took the MD5 of all the EL29 OTA patched files and compared them to the leaked EL29. Every one matched, including modem, kernel, and every patched ROM file.

If you want to be rooted with stock, there is really no need to deal with the OTA update at all. Just use the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature. There are 2 versions, Full resets your user data, NoData preserves your user data. Then if you want CWM, use the Auto Root sticky, Option C.

Pre-rooted EL29 One-Click link is here (in case you can't see signature links in your app):

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The OTA EL29 plugged the root exploit used by Auto Root so you can no longer directly root your existing ROM.

However you can flash pre-rooted EL29 ROMs through ODIN or if you are already rooted, you can use CWM to install pre-rooted EL29 ROMs.

So, basically, one method of rooting (which happens to be the most convenient and easy one) is plugged, but there are other methods available that are not really that much more difficult.

I also did this and everything went smoothly.

I had the EK02 and rooted using auto root

- Then i installed EK02+CWM to backup incase something goes wrong

- Downloaded the No Data EL29 and rang the process

I was wondering when flashing the EL29 NoData does it erase the CMW?

I was checking and i got into the andriod recovery using power+upvol, it this the same as CMW? or im pretty much stock EL29?

Also, how can i get rid of the samsunf firmware checkk at every restart?

Thank you very much again!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click flashes a stock kernel so as not to trigger the yellow triangle and avoid increasing the ODIN flash count. This has the consequence of replacing your CWM with the stock recovery, which is what you are seeing.

All you need to do is run Auto Root Option C and install EL29+CWM-Rogue. Keep in mind Rogue recovery is slightly different than the previous base CWM as it supports custom bootanimations. Nothing on your ROM was changed and the Sprint 4G bootanimation is still there. Only the initialization was changed, which results in the usage of the standard Android logo. If you want the Sprint 4G animation, you can either use EL26+CWM or use the update.zip in the FAQ section of the Auto Root thread.

It only does that on the first boot after going to stock recovery. Subsequent reboots that don't involve recovery won't have the firmware check. Also it won't happen if you install CWM.

EL29 was a HUGE improvement in reception for me in the NYC area over EL26. both 3G and 4G signals are stronger and benchmarking faster. given the different results people are seeing it looks like mileage really does vary by location though.

EL26 was really bad for me though. worse than EL13. reception was OK, but the signals never seemed to have a solid connection, latencies were higher, overall throughput on 3G was poor. so there's definitely a difference, but it seems a ton of variance introduced by the particulars of the exact handset and location.
