Wali, have you returned your phone to the stock rom? If you're running anything else, I don't think that you can get the update... Not 100% sure, but that's probably why Kies thinks that you're on at&t....
EDIT!! There's also a Kies update today, So apply that to your pc first!

Was the Rep that you spoke to aware that you've got a Rogers phone?
For about 3 days last fall, I had a Samsung Focus, & it had the option to check for updates on the phone... When ever you wanted...
But who knows... Not rogers, that's for sure.

lol they have to at least run it through a lot of tests, remember if anything goes wrong there will be a riot of people running to the store saying that the update bricked their phone
Just got off the phone with rogers.. The tech guy that I spoke to said that they know that Samsung has released it, BUT they don't have any information for TODAY... He said that when there is an update going out, they get an email that morning.. He's thinking maybe later this week? Kies was updated today... So, now might be a good time to get your titanium & CWM backups ready..
Hey, I'm just one guy reporting what he was told... For what it's worth, the guy that I spoke to... His name is Tim.

Hum, so if I'm reading it right, I have to revert to the stock ROM/Radio (running TPCv3 and UXKJ7 Baseband) before I will see the update?
I know TPCv3 is a rogers stock based rom.... will that make a difference?
(Actually, it doesn't matter much, I wasn't going to apply it anyway. Will wait for someone to cook up a better-than-stock ROM anyway before I flash anything.)

Can we flash it back to stock ROM though? I remember there was talk here about the stock ROM and how we can't flash it back to stock or something, but that was a couple months ago... and I've started to lose track of things here.

i believe it was infact the kernel that caused the issues, did you build the kernel from bell sources?
DG pulled perception 9 which was not even i9000m based but i think the kernel he built was. perception 9 was rereleased as 9.5 with a different kernel. there were users on that thread reporting sd card problems but very few, still risky. that said the telus rom didnt cause any problems and neither did the i9000 international so i think the captivate is safe. as the software is ready you guys might even beat att to the punch this time! if you get hsupa enabled this time ill definitely flash a rogers rom.
Ignore this message because of a double posting.

I was able to get mine to stock Rogers ROM but I dont know if its able to get EXACTLY like how rogers has. Mine looks like the rogers one but I think it was made off the AT&T one because it has their logo on the bootup and its not JF6 (mine says JI2 unless thats how it is on a stock Rogers I didnt check before I did flashing), I was able to get rid of the AT&T logo but that still bugs me unless someone can confirm this for me.
Yeah. You can get the Rogers stock files somewhere on the forums and just flash it all using Heimdall. Thats what I did after Odin bricked my phone twice ;D. Also, no Froyo yet. Don't expect it any time soon - this IS Rogers we're dealing with.

It isn't Kies that was the issue. This was happening to people well before the 2.2 update and at random times. My girlfriend's Vibrant has gone twice now. Once just randomly force closing everything and then dying while on 2.1, the second one which came from Samsung with 2.2 on it also did the same thing. She is now waiting for phone #3. Hardware has to be a factor.
speaking of which.. rogers/samsung has started pushing froyo 2.2 lol.. finally.. you'll need a kies update http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

Check your baseband version. If it is like ucke3, then you probably downloaded the uckh1 update that was released ota kinda recently.
Stupid ATT i thought they promised to give an OTA update of gingerbread last month itself but like always you cant trust their words.
Update - I have some software update that is going on right now, wonder what is this all about file is 14542kb which is doubt will be GB

That's UCKH1
anyone now if you loose root ?
Yep, thats the pre-lim update that came a week or so ago (for me anyway) I installed it and actually my InFuse felt a bit speedier but it didn't break my root or anything either. So I'd say go for it (at your own risk of course) mileage may vary.
It's the UCKH1 baseband update and possibly bootloader update aswell.
I tried playing by the rules and using this updated version for about 3 days. Battery life was horrible. I had to switch to my N86 halfway through the day so it could charge V_V I would recommend getting infused. It's so much better than stock. So. Much. Better.

Hi,
Can any one tell me the AT&T Motorola Atrix 2 can be upgraded to the official 2.3.6 ( XWKL1 )? I just got this phone for my wife and it comes with 2.3.5 and I don't think AT&T will release 2.3.6 any time soon plus I bought the phone from my friend after he claimed the insurance ( he lost his previous A2 ) I don't have no data plan so I won't be able to get the firmware update through AT&T.
I upgraded my Samsung GS 2 ( International version ) to XWKL1 so can I upgrade my wife's A2 with the same FW through Odin then?
I will be really appreciated if some one can help me to answer this?
Might wanna wait a little because it may be updating sooner than later, hopefully. I have the Atrix 4G and just got the SOAK notice. Gonna flash fruitcake and see what they send out...
You guys might want to read where you're posting this.

Ummmm...no. at best, Odin won't recognize the A2 BC Odin is meant for Sammy devices. At worst, if it does recognize your phone and you flash the SGS2 firmware to the A2, you will most likely end up with an unusable brick.

Atrix 2 will probably be getting 2.3.7 pretty soon. Stay tuned.
By the way the atrix 2 gets OTA updates, not usually from a file that you flash to the phone. You will usually get a notice on your phone that an update is available for download, and ask you what to do, all wireless.

2.3.6
Hey guys,
Motorola and at&t released the 2.3.6 upgrade for teh Atrix 2 today (February 2nd 2012). Just go to settings > about phone> software updates for an OTA upgrade... u need wiFi connection though (its 58 Mb)
hopefully we also get ICS whenever it comes out!!! Maybe MOtorola hasn't forgotten the A2!!1
it keeps telling me checking for available update please wait forever
Note :- i unlocked my mobile (sim unlock ) and using it outside of the USA with a Vodafone Sim .
Maybe that's the reason?
I am testing it over wifi not data
Root
Will updating remove root access?
Yes, if you don't take steps to preserve it. Do a search or check the DEV forum for the details.

Flash the FXZ and revert back to stock, probably the easiest way to get it.

What ROM are you currently running? I would recommend flashing the 2.3.5 fkz's rerooting, and then using forever root. Then try using the OTA update. Or you could wait until lfaber06 incorporates this into his SC ROM which will make things a LOT easier.
I am on supercharged v4. I will do that and see hat happens.

I just got the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket last week. And now that ICS is starting to roll out how will Rogers release it to the phones. Is it OTA (over the air)?
I'm coming from an X10 and it had something called PC companion (a program installed on your PC) that came with it which would notify you of a OS upgrade.
Its not an official OTA release. It's been leaked add is available on the forums. Since you're with Rogers you'll have to use Clockwork Mod to install it. Are you familiar with that?

no, rogers will not have OTA, as you can see there is no OTA option to update and all future updates will be done through kies
i know because i called for this exact purpose and both samsung and rogers told me the same thing

LOL - Christmas is an exaggeration but Rogers/Samsung are notoriously slow. On my Captivate I had Froyo about 2 months before official Rogers (and at that time I believe GB was already out) and I had GB for at least 4, if not 6 months before Rogers. A couple months after official Rogers GB I already had ICS running on it.
Consider how long ICS has been out... We're JUST getting a leak, and an AT&T one at that.
