Uhhh, you are about 1 week to late for this information. Thanks though.
I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

Quoted by Samsung "The program can report this message if it detects a software build other than the official launch software of JF6."

If my settings say i'm at JH7, does that necessarily mean the OTA update was completely successful? It reached 100% then said failed.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.
It's when you have a custom kernel etc.

Not really. AT&T has said that the real update will be sent out via SMS text message link, not through the "update software" menu in android.
Engadget just had that yesterday.

Can&How to force SNS check for OTA 2.3.2 update.
Thankyou
You can't. You either get the .zip posted on the thread in General and update manually or you wait.
You can go into settings, about phone, firmware update.

nope, the closest thing you can get to "forcing the phone to get the update" is the
*#*#CHECKIN#*#* method. and even then all the CHECKIN command does is gets the phone to call home to the mothership and say "hi im here"

Hard to say. Maybe the difference with your Epic is that the update comes from Samsung and on the Nexus S it comes from Google.
With the NS on both updates so far, I was not able to magically make it appear on my device by using the Settings or the checkin dial code. I think that for those it showed up after checkin, it was just coincidence...

Perhaps it is the difference in where the update is coming from, I've been running 2.3.1 with CM7rc8 for a few days now don't really plan to update
The way to force the NS to get the update is to download the zip and go into recovery and update it. No root, changing recovery to apply.
1) Download it (Search forums for it.. its in General)
2) Rename to update.zip if it isnt already
3) Put it on root of sd card
4) Boot into recovery (search forums, if you dont know how)
5) Apply update.zip
6) Reboot... you're on 2.3.2
NOTE: The file you are downloading is exactly identical to what you would get from the OTA. So you're doing the same thing. When you get the OTA, you're downloading it from the same source. The URL was received from aLogCat.
Hello, today I've noticed that my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket) had received the updated ATT ICS (US). It downloaded successfully without any issues. At the current point, my phone is rooted with the stock ATT Gingerbread OS, with clockwork touch 5.8.1.3-hercules.tar. I never bothered to install any 3rd party unofficial ROMS because I was waiting for the official ATT ICS which apparently released today. Anyway once the download completed, my phone restarted normally and went automatically in to CWM which was expected. From there, I chose "install from zip", apply /sdcard/update.zip. Right after that I get an error message "Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip", so I click "Go Back", I then select "Mounts and storage" > mount /sdcard, and get "Error mounting /sdcard!".
I've tried doing this also with a prior version of CWM (prior to 5.8.1.3), but I've got the same issue. I've also tried to plugin my phone to my PC and looking for the update.zip, so I can manually transfer it to the root of the phone's file system, but it was not there although it downloaded. I do not have any additional external SDCARD installed.
Could I possibly get the update.zip from an official ATT hyperlink for my phone so I can manually download it on my PC and transfer it to the phone's root file system?
Is there a Fix for "Can't mount / sdcard"? I looked around but could not find an answer.
Please advise.
wait...what? release today?!?
Are you sure it's ICS and not UCLA3 yet again??
Also, I'm pretty sure you need to be on stock recovery in order for the update to work.

O.K., your join date is May 2012, you only have 1 post and I'm to believe you have a rooted device, ready to upgrade to ICS, yet what really sticks out is that this is the only time you've posted.
Well, the file that downloaded file was way over 200megs, probably 250-280 and right after, the the download, my phone restarted going to CWM. I may just backup my data and restore everything to factory so see the update complete. Not sure if anyone had the download available. Not sure if the location matters, I'm located in South Florida.
Thanks for the prompt reply's btw.
Yea regardless, as skrambled said, nothing is going to work unless you're on the stock recovery. Think about it, its an official update and cwm is a custom (unofficial) recovery.

I got a prompt for an update was well today, it took a while to download and same thing happened, it went to CW on restart, I am also just rooted, no custom rom installed.
upload the update.zip and post here? i'm sure someone can verify the build it is and would be good info to have.
I'm doubting soooo much right now. When a reliable source confirms, or u post a screen shot with a different build number, then ill believe
just checked....
i have no update on my skyrocket...Boston mass area....

I'm not too big on phone "tweaking" etc..., but I would surly like to get this update to work which is why I have joined. There are plenty of threads and other sites that offer step by step instructions of how to root a phone etc...So I would not be surprised if a member of one post has a rooted phone. Just Google "Root ATT Skyrocket".
my brothers completely stock skyrocket (no root, no nothing) received a notification of an update today.. it was just 2.3.6

I did apologize for my rushed opinion, I now apologize to you my friend....
Originally, I got hyped up about this update because I knew that around this time, we all should be expecting the official ATT ICS, and since my friend T has a huuuuuuge hard-on for Android phones, he was sure that the updated that downloaded on my phone was ICS, so I blame HIM for giving me a false positive! If you are reading this T, it's ALL YOUR FAULT! See how many people had to click on this pointless thread!
This doesn't seem like a common problem, but I found a few people who got this issue.
My TF700 have been on 4.0.1 and it does not upgrade to 4.1 JB even though it has been released for a week. I have then used the custom method to force update to 10.4.4.16 - JB. However, I know 4.4.18 just came out and I am afraid it still would not update OTA.
Anyone has a solution for this??

Yup checking for update has nothing
Before I upgraded to 10.4.4.16 the device was totally stock, and it just does not update for the longest time.
Since I had updated to 10.4.4.16, I have then unlocked, rooted. No mod, no system app freeze.
Still no update notice for 10.4.4.18

Yup. Assuming you're into the stock experience and have the keyboard (thus appreciating the shortcut keys), CleanROM is eyeing you. Your 700 is behaving normally, so that's one problem out of the way.
When I come back to home, i saw that update is available. But I forgot temporary disabled root (ota root keeper). My device started update, but it stoped in bootloader (deat android with red triangle) My tf started without update, and now I can`t OTA (update is not available for you). Can I redownload update, and update soft one more time? How can I do this?

I just finished manually updating to 10.4.4.18 and after a reboot, it said I have a system update available, which was 10.4.4.16.....

Looks you and me are in the same boat.
I just threw up my hands and did another factory reset last evening.
I'm on a stock sprint n5 . When I try and take the Ota update I get a error in stock recovery when it reaches 30% . Droid dude falls over and say error . And now when I boot back up it says unfortunately voice service have quit working !! Any help would be great ? Like is there a way to take the update thru Odin or something ?? It says , try again using smart switch on your computer! Never used it before . Any help would be great
Return to stock with OI6 or OGD then update.
Sounds like it was rooted and never odined back.

Yes i believe you are right. But it happened to me a while back on note 4 unrooted by deleting app super su and cleaning up for full unroot and the damn thing took. But failed at boot as happened to him. Just fyi. I know about the modified firmware warning. Prior to check for updates. However i am sure you are right. Would have to see more of what happened prior to updating.
