Edit- use the same method but replace all EL30 with FC09
First off so everybody knows, feezing system updates did not work... neither did just installing the el30 modem... but this did... Ok this is very easy! Let it try to install... obviously it will fail because you are rooted... now you should see an exclamation point... just pull the battery and reboot! No more nagging message from your phone to update! This will work regardless of if you are on the el30 modem or not.... I have done it with the ei22 modem, el30 modem, and the ec05 modem and haven't had the update prompt after doin this...
Edit- after the battery pull and reboot don't panic if it throws you into cwm upon reboot, just reboot from there and you're good to go! LIKE ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP!
Edit- for everybody getting the update a few days after doin this try this (fix by toadlife)
The update notification will probably stop if you modify the build.prop file to trick the phone into thinking it already has EL30.
Try this:
Open up a root shell and type the following (via adb, or a shell app)
su
remount rw
sed -i 's/SPH-D700-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD EI22 release-keys/SPH-D700-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD EL30 release-keys/g' /system/build.prop
sed -i 's/sprint\/SPH-D700\/SPH-D700:2.3.5\/GINGERBREAD\/EI22:user\/release-keys/sprint\/SPH-D700\/SPH-D700:2.3.6\/GINGERBREAD\/EL30:user\/release-keys/g' /system/build.prop
remount ro
I would recommend adb so you can copy and paste. Typing that might take awhile.

Interesting. I wonder if deleting the update.zip file would accomplish the same although I suppose it could just download again.
I am on ERA ROM and I don't get any message to update.

I woke this morning to the update as well. I dismissed it but it kept coming back up for me about every half hour. I have CleanGB MTD, so wasn't sure what it would do if I allowed the update. Saw this post, though, and let it go / pulled battery as directed. Haven't had it pop up since. Phew! THANKS!
This would be annoying if it failed from a bad download and then you couldn't update when you are actually stock...

Glad it worked for everyone.
I was a shade worried when the first thing that happened after the battery pull was a kick back into CWM. I just did a nandroid before to be safe, and didn't want to be placed in a CWM bootloop or something. But other than that I think this method may have worked like a charm! Thanks.

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/
The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!
I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?
Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?
You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

Hey guys. I just got a replacement epic. I restored one of my backups from my prior epic using the same version of cwm. It seems fine except for the applications that require root. Setcpu and wifi tether both say that I am not rooted. There is no superuser popup when I start those applications. I tried removing the exisiting permissions from the superuser app, that didn't work. Setcpu said it might be a problem with permissions, so I fixed permissions with cwm, but that didn't work either.
Also, when I first opened superuser, it said there was an update. I tried to install it, but it said it failed and that it placed a zip on my sd card that I should install with cwm. I tried to install the superuser update with cwm but cwm said it was a bad file and aborted the installation. Superuser currently is v.2.3.6.1
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the apps requiring root working again? Does it have something to do with this supposed update?
Why don't you just reroot the phone? I had to do that after doing a nandroid backup.
Never mind. I just reinstalled the rom and kernel, all my data is in tact, root works fine now.
Some of the kernels that now include root are buggy,I have lost root with several,reflashing the kernel always brings it back...

Depends on which you're talking about. I can't vouch for all of them, but I know Twilight Zone and VisionKernel have always had root, and always had it reliably.
Now, as far as CWM goes...
Well I didnt want to mention any,but I just lost root with DRockstar's clean kernel 1.0.1 yesterday,this was after testing the "journaling on.zip",plus some other funny things; All bookmarks were reset,some programs lost settings,then my shutdown ani lost some images (still there,just skips some with black frames) and I lost shutdown sound; So I flashed clean kernel 1.0.3d and cwm 3.0.2.5,tried to install an updated framework and shutdown ani with diffrent sound,installs say complete,but nothing sticks. I still have lost images,no sound,and the framework images were never added; So Ill be starting fresh again to see where the issue was...
And I have lost root with others,but who knows where the real problem is,I just want gingerbread already (full working version)...

I updated to EI22, stock w/OTA update. I then rooted and things were working great. Then about 1 week ago, I did a CWM backup and when I restarted the phone just kept automatically rebooting approx. every 3 -4 minutes. I could not stop it no matter what I did. Then I restored the backup and it worked fine. A few days later, I turned the power off to put in a my extra battery, and when I turned it on, the same thing happened. I had to restore twice fir it to stop this time. Then this morning, I did a reboot to see what would happen, and again it happened. Mind you it was working flawless before I restarted it. I have tried everything from removing programs, turning off the wifi, leaving the battery out for a half hour, but nothing. Sometimes after it reboots, I leave it alone for 15 minutes and then when I hit the power button, it just restarts.
Any ideas before I put back froyo??
Sounds like a bad flash. I would Odin all the way to Stock EC05 then root then flash a Gingerbread ROM. Your error is either in the kernel or recovery to happen immediately after boot. It could even be a flaky partition table.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK. Funny, I flashed backed to a stock EC05 and did the OTA update so as to possible avoid any problems like this.

I figured that but the problem may lie in the rooting which required you to flash a kernel or in your recovery module.

don't use the OTA.
just root ec05, flash CWM 5, flash modem update ec05 to EI22, flash a rom of your choosing. it's that simple. i don't see why people go the OTA route. it just causes problems with the recovery.
EDIT: also if you want Rom manager, check the kernel(or rom) for compatibility.
Why use ROM MANAGER at all? All the same tasks can be done from Clockwork Mod directly?

It was not supported for the Epic before but with the new CWM5 it is. It is much faster to boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than powering down and 3 fingering into it. Plus ROM Manager supports renaming your backups when you are doing them. Also ROM Manager will continuously update your CWM if new versions come out. There is also OTA updates available if the developer supports it on their ROM.
Anxious to check out the new shiznit... i odin'd back to stock and caught the EL30 OTA... upon restart i could not get any signal, nor connect to my wifi...
had to completely restock the phone, re-root and re-cwm...
Went thru hell to get back to my miui backup
had to install MarcusantROM v3, then restore the backup of miui...
So I guess the moral of this story is... wait for the rom developers to sort it out...
In short, thanks to marcusant and xboxfanj for your hard work (And all the others working on all the roms) because your roms have been my daily drivers for quite some time...

We need people to either A) capture the URL via logcat or B) dig the update.zip out of their cache before applying it and run a SHA-160 hash on it so we could manually deduce URL on our own. Until either happens though we are in limbo waiting.
as soon as i finish the software for a customer im working on, i'll try and re-get the update and see what we end up with... Sorry but was in the middle of some work and needed to text a client...
have never done it so if someone shows me how to get to the update.zip, I'll be glad to post it and those that know get to work on it.

You still can't use this update if you are rooted. You have to wait for a pre rooted version or revert to stock unrooted EC05 or stock EI22 to manually update.

NO. You must be unrooted, BML, stock EI22 to use this.
I tried to swap the modem_delta with the EC05 to EI22 zip but am getting status 7...damn!
I did the same and got it working but had to first get off Cyanogenmod
So to follow (sure there are better ways but this was quickest for me), I:
1. odin'd to EC05
2. oneclickroot
3. EC05->EI22 modem delta
4. ECI22 -> EL30 modem delta (by replacing file and resigning)
5. Will flash Cyanongen next
