I had the same issue when I first did the update, so I protected root with OTA Rootkeeper and the flashed the updated stock rom Skunkape60 posted in post #62. That has seemed to fix it for me.

i did the OTA rootkeeper but wen i go bacc to OTA rootkeeper it ask me do i want to delete su baccup or temp.un-root not giving me the option to reroot so should i reflash it? or will i bricc my phone if i do it over again

When I did OTA, I clicked temp.un-root, then afterwards I went back in and clicked Protect Root

That's because you probably didn't loose root. If you are already rooted those are the options it gives you.

Hey Skunk, I went to AnaKonda after doing the update the first time, and kept getting the Update available notification. So I flashed the LI3 rom you linked on here to fix it. My question is if I go back to AnaKonda will continually notify me about the LI3 update again?

I have something for you.... hang on a moment.....

This should keep that update notification from bothering you again. Just flash the zip in recovery.

Just to be clear this is not the Jelly Bean update? I originally was thinking it was and went through the instructions (very clear and easy BTW) and all went well with update successful message but when I checked the Android version it is still 4.0.4.

No this is not the JellyBean update. Just a incremental update.

What exactly is the VPN Client added in the update?

My wife's and mine updated the other night and the VPN client is added on both our phones. Hers shows nothing in the logs, mine has traffic in the logs with warnings and ip address' in it. I am concerned as to what that traffic is, seens how I don't connect to any PC's!
Anyone know?

Here is a screenshot of it with a few numbers blurred out for security...

i also keep getting the failed install status 7, install aborted, trying to use the cwm

i am on stock rom but rooted.

i finally remembered i did the.bak to the camera. changed it back but still get error. i must have done something else because i do not have the sprint sound when starting or turning off. can this be the reason for the failed install?

i have my card formatted to fat32 also.

If you are stock rooted and have cwm this is the method you should be using:

This is the Stock rooted LI3 update but without the radio. So you will have to also download and flash the LI3 modem separately. Both links provided below for your flashing pleasure. You should be able to flash both of these by just wiping cache and dalvik.

you are awesome.

i seen you posted the odex earlier to someone that was on a costom rom. i always thaought odex and deodex files was for custom rom's so that is why i did not try it.

i can say that so far i have noticed a better signal strength (knock on wood) at home.

Both links are right above your post. The top one is for the stock updated rom and the bottom is for the radio / modem.
