its being pushed out ota, so you can odin back and not have it waiting on you, the best thing to do is just wait for a dev or Sammy to release a downloadable version so you wont be stuck on stock waiting up to 3 weeks for an update.
From what I understand and have gathered from the numerous other questions posted about this exact thing on the forum... I believe custom roms will not receive the ota through their phone, but you should seriously read through other threads before posting something like this

Ok, along similar lines. I flashed the leaked JI2 rom (no other fixes) via ODIN. Should I expect an OTA update? How do I get back to stock?

And now I have a brick. Started the process in odin with a tar and pit file from this thread.
This was a freshly exchanged Vibrant (my old one, with a wonky USB port is sitting in the return shipping box). So now, I've got ANOTHER Vibrant on the way. I have to take the one I was exchanging and take it out of the sealed shipping box I was going to send back Friday and use it in the meantime. Since I have to break the tamper proof seal I have to wait to send back the bricked phone until they send me another shipping label and seal. Sheesh!!

You would think so, but...umm no.
Never had this problem with my G1(flashed, re-flashed and then some), oh how I miss it!! I think the Vibrant hates me!!
Phone 1) swapped it out for GPS issue (when they were still thinking it was isolated) Phone 2) horrid call quality for some reason and dropping off of network (switched out sim card first) Phone 3) stopped being recognized by PC and now Phone 4) this one was my fault

My kids had the transform for a while; which came with sprint id. Sounds like a good concept; but it really wasn't very good.
Who knows, perhaps they learned from the whoas from Transform users. Maybe, doubt it though.
I know for myself; Sprint ID will never be installed on my Epic.
Good luck!!
Thank goodness for CM7! Pure Android with no touch wiz and sprint id BS!

Got this text 3.5 hours ago in Minneapolis. Since I just got midnight 5 working after days of trouble with midnight 4.2, I'm not terribly enticed to go back to stock and get the update ... I assume plenty of others will be .. but maybe no one yet?
You all should know that it doesn't get distributed by area. It gets distributed by your status on the google servers.

No one really knows. It could be by esn number, but that's just me speculating. It seems random, you might get one update first, but get the next update last.

Download any picture from the internet, then open the image with the regular Gallery. Before it gets done loading, try and hit the share button. It'll then tell you "image loding," instead of loading. I lol'd when I saw this.

Assuming you're on Windows.
Open your file manager to the SDK path:
C:\path\to\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ (Image)
Double click on ddms.bat (ddms = Dalvik Debug Monitor Service)
Note: just minimize the command prompt that appears, it will go away when you close ddms.
Enable USB debugging on the phone and connect to the PC
Select your device within the list (Image)
Select Device > Screen Capture (Image)
From there you can take a screenshot by pressing the Save button.
Note: you have to press the Refresh button with each screen transition. It is not a live screen cast of your phone.
If you have issues, then make sure you declare the JDK bin path in system environment variables under "PATH". If device shows as "offline" in ddms, then try another USB port.
I have an evo that is rooted running Myns latest. I am seriously thinking about trading the phone into sprint to get money towards the Samsung Galaxy on Friday. Do I or should I unroot the phone or just trade it in as is? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think you should unroot it IMO its a real simple procedure you can find right here on this forum. If not that flashback to a sock rom at least.
You should unroot before you take it back to Sprint. There's a high chance that they may turn you down.

Check out Amazon, they do some trade programs as well.
Your willing to give Samsung more money after the failures to deliver good software to their devices time and time again? I jumped to the photon, the slight hardware upgrade the SGS2 has over the photon doesn't help with the lack of faith in the company.

Do a google search for unroot Epic 4g. It should be the first link that comes up. It's not XDA, so I can't post the link here. However, it's the easiest way I know. Install a little program on your computer, start it, and follow the directions. After it's done, just do an OTA update. It's so easy it's ridiculous. I think they call it the RUU or something like that.
Its easy Watch QB king 77 videos on YouTube he has the links to the things you need to unroot I just did this a week ago before I gave my mom my epic & got the nexus you need the pit file & tar file put the pit file where it suppose to go & then put the EC05 tar file in PDA slot make sure its checked & only have auto reboot checked on top of Odin!!! DO NOT CHECK F.RESET TIME OR RE- PARTITION
