You're not a troll if you point it out every other post. Or am I misunderstanding your use of the word.
back to subject guys pls...anybody checked their kies to know if they pushed it out or not?
im trying now..
N00b question
So can you do updates via Kies air? Or only via the tethered version? Sorry, i DID search but with no luck. US AT&T user btw.
you may want to clarify in the OP... the models you listed are the phones that will be graced with ICS, but the article also says that "select phones" will get it today... not all of them today.

Glad I joined this county club 8 years ago, otherwise I probably wouldn't be let in.
Man every time even a hint or a drop of official ICS it begins all over again. Imagine if this was happening every time a country was announced......oh wait. :banghead:

I find this curious given when I attach my stock Telus Note to Kies .. it says something to the effect that this device cannot be updated via Kies..
So I'm presuming that OTA is the only way for those device on this carrier?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah its same issue here. i don't know why or what has happened with this update stuff. question is then how do we update then??
The reason it says cannot be updated via kies is because you likely had a custom rom on at some point. You have to flash your stock rom back on then format/master reset via recovery and then do the same from settings, privacy and master reset. it should recognize it then
i cant tell you home many pages i read before my first post. one thing learn to search get good with it and that will never happen

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

So I have pretty basic knowledge of the android system and how to tweak with it. I have done some basic rooting and flashing in the past. I am about to but an off contract s3 so I was wondering whether I should go ahead and buy the locked verizon phone or wait it out for the unlocked developer phone that Samsung is about to put out.

I see that there are plenty of ROMs available for the P51xx's, and since the P51xx's and the 497's are both Galaxy Tab 2's, would it be possible, just to use the build.prop of the P51xx's on a 497's rom?

The Canadian SGH-i497 (ROM appears on sammobile but I cannot find reference to a Canadian Tab2) may support phone calls and sms messaging. I downloaded the Odin ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20711
And checked inside and it seems to have the proper files. Since the i497 has practically no support on XDA I have been reluctant to install it. But recently another member posted the ATT 4.1.2 so I was thinking of giving it a try in the near future.
Canadian version is listed on Samsung of Canada but that is about it. No info is given. Why would they release a ROM for a tablet that just doesn't seem to exist?

I too have one of these things...Really want to Root it and install other ROM's....Found Cyanogenmod for p5100 but also reluctant to try it as it is not the SGH-I497...but it's so slow and laggy, I just am dying to at least give it a try, as long as I can back up current firmware....just need to research on how to do just that first...
I have a I497 as well but it is for Digicel Jamaica, anyone knows if the AT&T or Canadian 4.1.2 Rom would work on it? I'm thinking they should all be compatible since they are all sgh-I497.

AT&T gave us one for signing up for their cable service. sad to know that no custom roms available.
was able to get it rooted. was going to be a fancy toy anyways. amazing how under-powered this thing is.
I just wound up selling mine, wasn't worth it. If I remember right there was a Rom, but it was only a stock one that had the AT&T junk removed.

Are there still no roms for this model of tablet?

It is international more that you think
I told him to do so, so he could go to completely another forum (not XDA) and ask this noob question there, where nobody knows him.
Now you get it?
It would be very funny experience for him to find out what other people on other frums know about SGS4 or phone flashing at all.
I would probably get people telling me off and not wanting to teach me... Happens a lot on these forums, luckily the constant S4 questions have kind of died down here and people like myst tend to point them in the right direction instead of just making a fuss about it.
Why not just report it and move on?
Anyhow, congrats on new device, go forth & make it great like you did for sgs4g..

Nope. I think it's a load of crap that they didn't include it. The "NEW" kitkat is almost indestinguishable from 4.2 ....I had to look in the settings to see if it really was kitkat. Thought I did something wrong at first. Should have known not to expect anything fabulous from samsung.

Oh no, ROMs must be device specific. I sure wish we could though. There seems to be progress being made in the general forum under the "sign up" topic. We may soon have a killer ROM if the developer gods smile upon them favorably.
