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?

Thanks

In the past it's been via the Kies software - not sure if they're moving to OTA or not. They'll announce it, lol as the poster above said... lucky to see it by Christmas
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
Okay so I have to plug my phone and check KiesAir everyday or will I get some kind of notification telling me an update is readY?

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.

nop, you'll have to follow blogs or this forum to know when it will be released
I have started getting feel that att will leave us deserted, normally after a leak it takes a month to roll out official update but there are no signs for our A2. Motorola is one devil and att is mother of that devil. When other A2 are getting one after other leaks, after a months of cheesecake none of us have any luck. Also motorubbish is not showing any signs of giving us a unlocked bootloader. I am really sick of Motorola policy of giving updates. Now att a2 users can't dream of cm9 or Ics.
I so agree. Everyday I'm checking the forums to my disappointment, no leak. And yes I check cheesecake

We just have to be patient. Samsung did the same thing with my Infuse. It just got a gingerbread update in February. If they don't update the A2 by Sept then i will start to worry.

Maybe they switched gears and we're getting jb instead. I say this completely sarcastically so don't flame me.
Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865

Now Motorola have announced that they will be rolling out ics updates for Indian versions next month it is happening after approximately a month of ics leak.
If att is planning to give us JB, why there are no leaks of that???

They are being quite sarcastic. We will most likely not see JB in any official manner on this phone. We will need to figure out how to unlock the BL and start running CM 10, to get it.

I am just praying that the work of our devs get successful and we find a way to unlock the bootloader.

That would be me, as right now I am the only one working on it behind the scenes. I have not found a proper way to unlock it yet.
I am working on something to brute force attack it, but that is not for this thread.
Look what I found here. Indian Atrix 2 ICS update will come in August. Fingers crossed :good:

Got update of ICS on 11 SEP India
No OTA update available in my Atrix 2 (running with a custom ROM)
I recently rooted my phone and am using a custom rom (Victory ROM) now.
Now, after hearing that Moto has official ICS update via OTA, I'm trying to check for 'System Updates' in Settings -> About Phone. But no updates there.
Is it like, I have to come back to the stock ROM and get this update?
Thanks.

You have to be on stock..also the latest ota for at n t ensures theres no way back to GB..so i would advice to use the 1st leak and not the latest

I assume you have Indian Atrix 2 (based on your location), if that's the case read this forum which has details as how to install the ICS. (latest file seems the Official ICS release)
devilhunter47 advised is for AT&T phone. Indian phones seems don't have that problem and people can get back GB using fxz it seems (based on what I read there)...
Better you read that thread and go from there...All the best...
Did anybody notice improvement in battery lift after the ics update?
I did find a big improvement. Earlier, with 3G and auto sync ON through out my office time, battery status used to come down to 40-50%. Now, after End of my work day, it is at 80%. Observed this for a few days now.
Also the battery drain overnight has improved. I assume this might have to do with the black and cool blue skin that ics implemented...
Everyone with an non AT&T Atrix 2 forget about the AT&T ICS leak, don't go and try to flash it because you will be stuck and maybe get hard bricked and out of luck if you have no warranty. If you are on an non AT&T Atrix 2 and try to flash back to AT&T 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 with RSDLite there is a 65% that it will fail if you are not using an AT&T Atrix 2. To prevent hard brick, please be pacient till the official release of ICS for non AT&T Atrix 2, but remember this only applies to non AT&T phones.
You can try the SEARET or MEARET ICS leak, flash only MEARET and SEARET roms if you are trying to flash back to 2.3.6 eventho it is not recommended.
I don't want this to keep happening and specially if you have no warranty like me, you'll be stuck and you will either have to take it to a repair shop or get a new phone, it's not free like the AT&T ones that have warranty and can get a replacement for free.
Think Twice!
I'm a noob, but trying to help the noob from my experience!
We pay for insurance on our phones each month. It's not free. I've had a att account for over 5 years so they owe me a couple of phones as much extra money they have gotten out of me. This is probably my second warranty exchange.

The Indian ics leak is fine to use.
So use that one, not the at&t.

I guess http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758824 applies to Indian version of At 2. But of course, be cautious to apply the changes.
Hi all
I have this simple question, on behalf of those that, like me, didn't stay updated with all the developments after leak 1: has the official ICS OTA for AT&T been released?
Thank you!
E.
It has not been released yet.
It depends on which region you live in.
I think besides AT&T ...... everyone got OTA !
correct me if i'm wrong
Fyi its looking like the ota will be Identical to leak 2

Well the soak test which was done by Motorola was found to be same as the second leak.It's build date,md5 sums everything is a match.so untill and unless there are some major bugs in the soak test version(which actually is running pretty smooth),there would be no major changes in the final OTA released.so yeah you can assume that the OTA will be same as the second leak.
Sent from my MB865 running on ICS Leak 2#
Well, I am running an ATT Atrix 2 on leak #1 (SCv7), when I go to System - About phone - System updates I get a message that says Update available with a version number of 67.21.125. I did not sign up for the Soak test, so that tells me that there is an update available. Maybe you guys should try checking on your phones to see if there is an update available.

Well that my friend is what leak 2 is.i don't know if you already know this but actually the update u'r talking about has been around for over a month and a half.that update or leak 2 or soak test all are the same 67.21.125 with a build date of Fri Aug 31, 18:50:08 CDT 2012.the only difference between them is the source they were obtained from.leak 2 was pulled from Motorola servers thanks to project cheesecake.while when leak 1 was "leaked" AT&T released an OTA Update to make the leak official and removed a few bugs.so that is what u'r seeing in the system updates right now.and these were matched with the soak test version and were found to be the same.

No, actually alteredlikeness and I are the ones who examined them both and found that the soak/ota is the same as leak 2, and we posted the info the day the soak went out.
Still nothing from moto about an official OTA date...
Contacted motorola yesterday. and i was told that the soak test was started on 25th September and after successful completion of soak test, the OTA will be out in batched in 5 to 7 days. Have a look at the Help application in your mobile phone. it already shows videos and tutorials on Android 4.0. Wake up guys. we are going to hear the good news very soon. Motorola was successful to complete the ICS update in Q3 as promised for all the world except for a delay for ATT who customizes the Rom and apps for it self. but the soak test have started in Q3 for ATT too.. lets hope for the best to happen.

The SOAK test is still going on. It has nothing to do with AT&T...
There are issues with the battery draining very fast and moto is currently trying to fix it.
