OK, after seeing Sextape released a leak for Boost under build FG20 I figured I'd look again:

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710BST/latest

....and found the FG26 build there. So not fake.

Makes you wonder if Sprint moved it to Boost tag to keep some of the previously prying eyes from thinking they're working on it...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Hopefully they updated the bugs so we can use it on our phones :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
So it's not FF18 relabeled for a newly classified phone? There is a difference in the builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
And now we play the waiting game... again! :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Sextape released a new radio for FG20... and it sounds like it is in the works for Sprint according to the Dev thread. So

while anything is speculation at this point

it is in the realm of possibility.

I also find it odd that the build for FG26 was on the D710 as found in RDF finder, disappeared and magically reappeared in the Boost phone. If it's truly a new model why would you have the new build post to the stock device first?

Sextape could clear that up if the source was willing to leak a changelog..... ;)

Now that my MVNO announced the OTA I can confirm we're using the stock Sprint update. Nothing special for me :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
It doez work..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
You're still to thank for passing it along to me and having the patience to do so. I can also thank sfhub, KC_exactly, qbking77, and sextape for their help too. Plus all the other who have answered my questions no matter how noobish they were.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Could have been put on the stock device page by mistake. As proven by the flub FE22 having FE02 as the build number in the description, they aren't infallible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] labelexpired:
according to what he told me last time we spoke that this file was totally different not just a relabeled version of FF18, I personally tested the build this morning and compared the difference its actually better, Ill try to call him later and see if he has a change log.

yo sxtp. ill send you the pics via email so you can upload if not let me know if i can post em and where?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
So are you clearly stating that the build of the E4GT for Boost Mobile is entirely different from the Sprint one (FF18)? Sorry if the question sounds a little dumb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
REMOVED.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Yes according to LE it is. I can't confirm since I don't have a test device
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxtad:
I have located the file on Google Play, I really wish there was a "Download" button for Google Play. I could care less if it thinks it is not for my phone.

I am irritated at the moment for Google choosing to dumb down another feature. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
You don't understand my statement. I mean the build number, such as FG20 and FG26?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
If any one is interested, or even cares anymore ;), OTA pushes are back, at least from ek02 to el29.. Still waiting to see if ff18 will push now..

I just woke up to "a system update is available" installed it and yes its ff18 I'm in Laredo TX
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Its here too..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Androidfreakz:
So Im in Mesquite TX with no ICS update I download and odin'ed FF18 then a used odin mobile to flash stock unrooted ek02 but something failed because after the galaxy s2 splash screen it would just go blank. (did this at work) so now I had to wait until i got home(finally) to odin back to EG30 stock which work so now im going to OTA and see how far i get, Fingers crossed.

So far, EK02 and EL29 is flashing now. : Update:--> Still no luck with ICS In North Texas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
If you do get the prompt for the ICS OTA, please follow the steps in this post and let us know what you come up with. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28652661 I'm interested to see if this is the same build/revision we have all been receiving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
And just be advised that it could take several hours to go up from el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I was looking for that. Thanks! :pWent back to ek02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
You just saved me a ton of effort on the slim chance that I MIGHT get prompted for the update. I was gonna go through the process myself. Not fair to ask others to do what you aren't willing to do yourself, am I right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtalkalot24:
OTA

Went back to GB stock yesterday. Woke up this morning with a system update ready to download. So far so good. Here is the version info off the phone Baseband Version: S:D710.10S.FF18 Kernel Version 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FF18-CL663858 se.infa@SEP-113 #3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
You bet! Gotta love nands! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Thanks, but unfortunately, without the actual update file to dissect and compare MD5 check sums, that doesn't tell us if it's a revision. Just confirms that it is still FF18. I'm going to assume that if the link is exactly the same, so is the build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtalkalot24:
Sorry I tried. I was half awake when it came through this morning around 6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Hey, don't sweat it. This stuff didn't come to mind until well after you guys said you had the update coming. It's just one of those after thoughts we all wish we had before hand. We'll get it all figured out. May end up being nothing at all anyway, but it's worth a look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Could this update actually be different than the previous update (FF18)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Could be a new revision of FF18.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I just find it odd that they suspended ota's and now they're back and there isn't much hesitation on going through the process.

According to RC over in the sprint community, it was suspended for fixes.

Catlog isn't showing the link like it did before, or i'm just over looking it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
It's really odd that they would mask the download link in catlog unless they're on to us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Androidfreakz:
Ok so yea im quoting myself, I just got the update. And no i have not installed it. Mesquite tx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
Logs only hold ~1hr of history - if it pulled down on the phone over night they won't find it in the log anymore.

Could delete the update file with a root explorer and then reboot and wait for the update to start downloading again to find the download path if anyone is still on EL29 or doesn't mind flashing back to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Moho had just gotten the notification within minutes.

For those wondering what is different about the 7/31 release of FF18 look here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29599742&postcount=592

it is my opinion that the swype data clear is the ONLY difference in the 7/31 update - in other words this is exactly the same as FF18 if you hit "clear data" on swype.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Keep reading. There's a bit more. I dunno what those differences mean (I'm hoping someone with a better working knowledge will) but there are more differences than what you pointed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
Where are you seeing other differences? I went folder by folder and everything appears to be identical with the exception of the updater-script file. Then I ran a diff of the old vs. new updater-scrip files and those 3 lines are the only changes I found.

EDIT: No worries Tray - I actually didn't notice those files because their size didn't change even though their contents did slightly. It was pretty fun to tear this apart with the rest of you - I was really hoping to find some fixes in there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
check four posts down from yours in that thread. META-INF folders contain some changes.

EDIT: Insert foot in mouth. The changes in those files apparently just confirm the changes in the updater script. My apologies.

Ok, I'm an idiot. My Epic touch is stock rooted EL29. I used SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick back in February and it's been great. Now I'm getting a constant bombardment of update available pop-ups for ICS. I know I'll lose root if I accept it, right? What I don't know is if I can re-root it if I do accept the update, or if I should download and install something else. Is there a rooted version of this update available? My apologies if this has already been asked, but this thread has, like, 10,000+ posts.

Sprint tech support at local store advised me of a ( smooth bug fix update) coming on the 16th. He wouldnt go in to much detail, but kept talking about how smooth it was. We will see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I think it's one of the Boost Mobile builds built to run on our phone because FG31 is far more smoother than FF18

I know, but have the fixes in the Boost Mobile's phone be fixed but for our carrier. What I mean is have a new build for Sprint's E4GT but having Boost's bug fixes :)

I have no problem with GPS, maybe it's just a modem problem for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Unfortunately, techs at Sprint stores know as much as we do or less. We'll see a new RDF posted before they're even informed of a new update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
On average its less.much much less. My local corporate store had a total of zero employees who were aware of the existence of speedtest.net after messing with phone support for Weeks and using the app with them repeatedly I couldn't believe the store employees were telling me essentially to go screw myself because they weren't going to install a unsupported app they never heard of on their own phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Its true. I worked for sprint and got all of my info from xda lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Well I hope its alot more than just to make it "smooth". There is more issues to fix. Network aka wifi/wireless needs to be fixed big time.

If the WiFi, notification led and battery life was fixed I would be running ICS now. But after doing my own testing I went right back to GB 2.3.6 rooted and all is back to working good.

Note: When I odn'd GB 2.3.6 and ICS 4.0.4 FF18 I always completed 2 factory resets just to ensure that the phone was cleared and wiped.

Here's to hoping that Sprint gets off their ass's and gets ICS working like it should be. If anyone wants to know what issues I had I will be more than happy to post it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Not necessarily, some of the store managers who have been with Sprint for a long time have connections inside the manufacturers who let them know about pending updates. Not me speculating, I know this for a fact. I will leave it at that. To be clear though, I am not confirming an impeding ota, I am saying sprint tech support at a local store can in fact sometimes know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I get what you're saying, but I want to make a point that flows along with this train of thought.

We may not even see the RDF. If I remember correctly, the 4.0.3 final build for the D710 (FD26, I believe?) was ported over to all of the other carriers Galaxy S II when they got their 4.0.3 release. I don't think they saw any RDFs before their update. I could be completely wrong. If I am right though, the D710BST updates could very well be for our phone also. Cross your fingers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
^^^

This is why I meant in my previous post :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
And don't forget, Boost is a subsidiary of and wholly owned by Sprint. Anything Boost has is essentially Sprints property already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Mind if I throw another log on the fire (that is update rumors?)

OK, we know an FG build quickly posted an RDF and then disappeared under the D710.

In playing with the FG31 build it also seems like kernel changes

did

take place.

I'll have to look at the FG31 build.prop again and see but it looked like there was a minor revision increment. (4.0.4r3)

Since that build was about a month ago, the date of 8/16 sounds pretty close to 30 days... the average waiting period after RDF drop.

Did the same. Called Sprint and they said update has paused again. Expect new update in one to two weeks. Who knows

I'm not claiming to have a source at Samsung because I do not. I do try my best to dig up info in every path possible. Talking to Samsung supervisor about 2 minutes ago even said that Sprint was urged by Samsung not to push 4.0.4. He said his Texas call center stays flooded with callers of the Epic Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
It works fine, less little bugs than ff18 but the same old boring android your grandma is used to by now. Being one who ran most of the leaks from March-May I went back to GB twice during that time when I needed a stable phone for a few days away from home otherwise I preferred buggy ics and still do. Anybody who says gb battery life is better is insane.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Huh? FF18 stock kernel is a freaking battery HOG! That's why Android OS percentages jumped sky high, and and the ram usage went up to 1.5 of GB levels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I will say it seems Samsung continues to introduce new bugs where there weren't any.

FG31 seems to not come back to full brightness after screen goes off the first time. Only way I've found to fix it is to restart.

Anyone else noticing this?

Yes, Samsung finished ICS and provided it to Sprint to get you to buy the S3, crazy genius plan there. If the update isn't being pushed right now, that's Sprint's decision. I will agree that the Moment was a piece of **** though.

That is exactly the issue. With ics you can only get 3-4 hours of screen on time. So for heavy users their phone dies after 4 hours of use. With gb it was easy to get 8 hours of screen on time.
