I apologize if these have ever been asked. I just barely have purchased the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and have been doing research on it but haven't found a direct answer to some questions so I am really hoping someone here will help me out.
1. When does the Official OTA of the ICS 4.0 get released for this phone or is it already released? (I am waiting for my battery to charge fully for 24 hours as I was told before turning it on and checking for updates)
2. If there is no Official OTA date of the ICS 4.0 in the next few weeks would you recommend I root the phone and put on a custom ROM?
3. If yes to question #2, which ROM? Is it in Beta or Alpha Mode?
4. If yes again to question 2 & no to question 3, where can I get this ROM? Could you please send me the URL to the download and instructions.
I would be FOREVER grateful to any and all that can give me advice on this new phone of mine as I am quite excited to give it a try but I noticed so many phones like this have the official OTA of ICS 4.0 and I would LOVE Ice Cream Sandwich if possible. THANKS so MUCH!

1) No one knows
2) Yes
3) You need to read the forums and quit posting
4) Read the forums and quit posting
5) Read some more
And then you can use roms such as seanz sky ICS, nexus mod ics, mhx, and so on.
I'm sorry, but there's no way that u did ANY research and are asking those questions. We have stickies that answer them all in pretty much the first op. Soo, i'll explain the point xcrazy is getting at. No one minds helping new users, but help yourself first. The search feature is your friend, as well as reading. No one here became an expert overnight, but by reading and researching, and asking valid questions. Not by being spoon fed

Please if its been posted,tell me where and ill read it but a quick search revealed nothing. I just picked up my inspire and when I check for HTC update it shows there is one. Do I need to update before rooting? Also what changes are there as far as any major steps to flashing a Rom. Like if I want inspired ace can I just root,flash recovery and install Rom? Or does the bootloaders need to be flashed before flashing a gingerbread Rom? Sorry for the 838393 million questions but I'm a long time Samsung user lol,I know my way around rooting and flashing but I know HTC phones can be a little different

anyway, like he said do that .. as far as the update first or not:
you can flash whatever radio you want after you are done rooting; for me i rooted before the OTA, but for wifey we did the update first.. it doesn't matter, as the info will be destroyed during the root anyway.
you cannot OTA after root from what i gather, as i was never offered the update as i was rooted

Lol sorry for putting it like that. It's just sometimes someones question sounds like one that's been answered already,but they mean it in a different specific way. Here lately people have been a little rude about the whole "its been answered" but really I just have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean in text. I don't mind reading the stickies but sometimes it gets confusing if you are new to a device and don't know what stage the development is at lol. But thanks man,ill go read the stickies and if I have any problems ill just post back here lol. Appreciate the kind answer

Well don't take it to harshly most are just sarcastic. I mean I am just sarcastic.
What doesn't help is when you can't truly tell for sure if its a playful sarcasm or mean sarcasm. It sometimes is hard to tell considering we are talking to each other in text form. There have been some posts I've read, not by you, but others, that I couldnt particularly tell if they were being mean or just being a smart @ss just to mess with someone without offending. I just wanna say something to the ones who have meant there sarcasm in a mean way. My wife's cousin coined these 2 phrases, and I like using them a lot. "Can't we all just smoke a bong!" And, "Life's a ***** and then you die, f*** the world let's get high!" Lmao ;D

My favorite method is to apply the OTA and then use Gingerbreak. Chainfire is a fantastic developer and I used gingerbreak to install rom manager, flash CWM, and get your flashing on.
I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

They could just have an error screen explaining why they can't post. Let them know they have to be a member for certain amount of time, or there could even be a kind of peer review, where existing developers can vouch for the new member.

I thought this was already the case.
Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A forum. Period.
Also, one should spend time reading the first 1-2 pages of each forum, ESPECIALLY sticky threads before posting. It is obviously clear that the original poster did not spend ANY time reading.
I was a noob once too - but I took the time to do my research and spent an evening or two browsing threads and learning when I first flashed my HTC Tilt. Same for when I bought my Tilt2. Same for when I bought my Huawei S7, and same for when I bought my Infuse and Tab 10.1.
The "teach a man to fish" proverb applies here. If you just handhold a user, they will never learn anything. If you force them to spend some time reading threads, they'll start learning how to educate themselves and learn a new device without asking questions about stuff that is widely documented.

That's no excuse! I've been in this game for years and have learned almost everything I know simply by reading. If I can do it so can the noobs. Period. This guy deserves everything and anything he gets. I'm with Entropy. They must be forced to learn!
I'd say "ok guys back to topic" but instead I'll say "crap, here comes Neo again!"
Agreed.
A bit of reading would help everyone. Generally speaking, most questions have probably been asked before and even if they haven't; it is best to search anyway because you might stumble across the answer.
I'm all about being helpful, but constantly coddling people while they do the wrong thing isn't helping anyone. I want us to have a large user base so that our development continues to expand, but not just so that we have a lot of ignorant people running around posting the same thing over and over without doing a bit of searching.
It isn't as if this post was some desperate call for help because their phone stopped working after installing a ROM. It was just someone being lazy.
If caming rom ics from at&t
and i install the rom
ineed new root ?
Or the before root this ok ?
If you can still install and use root apps, then yes you are still rooted.

The AT&T leaked roms are not rooted.
After installing one of these you will need to root it by installing CWM recovery and then flashing the super user .zip.

It's Google translate not being good at Hebrew. He asked me where to take pictures of screen guards so for the heck of it I translated that to Hebrew then the Hebrew back to English and it said where to shoot screen savers. I finally figured out he wanted to know how to flash the sg3 wallpapers. The man is putting some effort into learning from these forums.

Go to skyrocket general discussion section and there's a sticky near the top called all in one guide for noobs. That's where you want to start.
And don't be intimidated, Eli has gone from skyics to cm9 and everything in between using a translator that turns "flashing roms" into "taking shots of rum"

Can anyone help? I have downloaded a new update to the HTC One S which is the new Sense 4.1 and the jelly bean update. Now I tried to install but
kept rebooting me into bootloader. I tried to Root my phone once and managed to unlock my bootloader but wasnt able to install a working recovery on my phone so I just relocked the bootloader. So What Im looking to do is either to find someone to help me root my phone by helping unlock my relocked bootloader and help me to fully root my phone and to install a new rom or to help me install the new update on my One S.
My Device is an S3 chipset. I think ofcourse, as my Cpu runs to up to 1.7 mhz... Can anyone help me do one or the other?

My advice for you is to go at a MobileServiceCenter and for aprox 15 euro you can get this job done. Also, for sure you don't have Jelly Bean, but just the last version of 4.0.4. ICS with 4.1 Sense for S3 One S.
