Once rooted OTA is going to fail. Just do a manual update if need be via CWM.

thanks sir, i went and paid for cwm pro, and it tells me that rom cant be updated here is my story and issues, thanks for any help you can give

galaxy s2 epic touch (sprint) when i got the unit i flashed it and had not backed up factory rom, i flashed with EG30-Stock-deodexV2-withCIQ now i have tried to ota update and kies, also rom manager, it give me the message that my rom developer has not set this rom to take ota updates, this is where i need some direction to flash a rom that i can get otas back and update, i do want to root due to my back up is in titanium pro, and would need root to pull back in my data settings and such, thanks for any help anyone can give me on my issue

you meant you bought rom manager pro. cwm can be seperate. its found in a kernel that has it installed. do not use rom manager it doesn't flash roms to our phone. if you are completely stock with no root the go to settings about phone. update. go through the updates. it will be fine as long as you have stock kernel. when that is done odin a new kernel that contains cwm. flash whatever you want after that.

btw. if I were you I would just use odin to flash a full tar. such as the ek02 or el29. its alot easier.

i need to get back to stock from my issues above, i need a stock rom, or a rom that will take ota, my phone keeps telling me i have a system update ready i think it should be ics, is there a good ics with root and cwm that i can flash to resolve this, and also a ics rom that will take updates moving forward?

sorry dude no ics. you are either getting a notice for ek02 or if they have rolled it out yet el29. noone has gotten ics. in the first page of the dev section there is a tar for el29. the stock one. all you need is to odin that. then you can have root. also when ics does come out you can just flash a stock kernel with stock recovery and update.

there is no ics. we do not have it. these should give you root + cwm.

ah ok, i assumed ics was out, my xoom pad took an update today to 4.2.3 so i assumed this update was or would be ics, thanks, sir, the ek02 will resolve my issues to take ota or at least let me update in rom manager move forward?

well ek02 will let you update to the next ota only if you flash a stock kernel with stock recovery. also I have never heard of someone using this phone being able to use rom manager to flash anything.
