[Q] n00b question regarding Straight Talk and ICS

I have ordered a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (I727) unlocked and plan to use it with Straight Talk using an AT&T compatible SIM card. My understanding is that this should work fine. My question involves upgrading the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich when it is available.
Since I will be using Straight Talk, I will not be an AT&T customer, but will be using their network. Will I get the ICS update when AT&T releases it or will I have to do something myself to get it?
I have never rooted a phone or flashed a new ROM and am not sure how comfortable I would be doing that. Would that be necessary to get the update?
Thanks

Since it's an AT&T phone you'll probably get the update along with everyone else.

You'll get the update. I've had to flash to 2.3.5 before and was able to go to 2.3.6 no problem. OTA still works. I'm on straighttalk

Hello

Hey guys.
I didn't know if this exactly qualifies as a question or an inquiry, so I decided to post it here.
I live in Palestine, and I have friends who use the Samsung GS2. Now as we all know, the GS2 received an update to ICS a while ago.
Non of my friends where able to upgrade nor through the in-device update option or through Kies.
I have a GS3, I haven't updated it in over a month. I keep looking for official OTAs through my phone but it keeps giving Me the "cannot connet to network" error. I get nothing through Kies which says I have the latest firmware.
I was able to check for updates normally when I bought my phone in Jordan and if there was no update it will till me so.
My question is, is there no server in Palestine or something?
All the phones mentioned above are unrooted and are international phones ans not locked to a carrier.
Thanks in advance!

Samsung galaxy 2 help

Hey guys, hope I'm posting this in the correct place.
I don't come here often but I'm not able to find much info about this.
My girlfriend has a galaxy s2 and I'm trying to get the OTA jelly bean update that is not available on the bell Canada network.
My issue is, in the about phone section, she does not have the "check for update" button in the menu.
Anyone ever see this or have a fix for that menu beside using a pc to update the phone?
Thanks

[Q] Kies won't offer latest firmware. Stuck w/ GB

So my dad and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket from Rogers; I727R. A couple days ago I updated mine via Kies from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jellybean 4.1.2. Today I tried updating his (also GB 2.3.5), but once I connect his device, Kies says it already has the latest firmware.
Is there a way around this? I explained my situation to Samsung Support over the phone and the representative's suggestion was that "even if someone had the exact same phone model and carrier, the update could be rolled out at different times." And I was advised to just wait. Hasn't Jellybean been out for a few months now?
I tried a hard reset on his phone and it still didn't offer any firmware updates. Can anyone help? Thanks.

If Kies does not work for you, read the stickies. In them you will find all the directions to use Odin to update your Dad's phone. You will also find in there all the files you need to do it. Good luck!

[Q] SGH 1497 (at&t 4g version) help updating

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10 .1 inch AT&T 4G SGH 1497 I am unable to use several features because of the 4.1 .2 apk update but more importantly I was curious if anyone was successful in installing a 4.2 .2 to this version of the tab 2 and if anyone was able to get everything working solid? I am very interested in getting this rooted but I don't want to screw up the 4G capabilities and take it off the AT&T network if anyone has any tips links or maybe I missed it in the forums on how or if its possible I would be greatly appreciative. also if you know anything about the WiFi Bluetooth problem I have another post that is directly related to this? thanks for Reading

I had no issues rooting and installing twrp/cwm, but I hard bricked one trying to install AOKP. CyanogenMod gave me the dreaded error 7. From what I understand, this hardware is nothing like the other TAB 2's. It's not looking too good lately. Imight get impatient before long and do my own de-odex and mod the systemui as well as other things. MY tab 2 is just not my main device so I haven't put allot of effort into it as yet. Someone is going to need to soon or we'll all just upgrade to something else that is better supported by dev's. I wish us luck on this device. I have googled to high hell and haven't dug up anything. Couldnt even find an odin file for 4.1.2, so I captured that one while i could and put it up for d/l. Maybe that will help someone dev on 4.1.2 at least.

Hello,
I'm glad I found this post. Can either of you provide a link to the file needed to root the AT&T 4G SGH 1497, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for any help.

I too am in this dilemma. I just purchased a Tab 2 and want to root to remove the AT&T bloatware. SGH-I497. I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101044
But since I don't know when 4.1.2 was rolled out for the Tab 2, I don't know if this root method is valid. Help please.
SGH-I497, 16 GB AT&T running 4.1.2 build #J2054K.I497UCBMF2

One small mistake on my part... I have the wifi version. Changed my profile pic to Underdog (I'm such an idiot).
