[Q] Firmware update is out? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I just received a notification on my phone... a (firmware?) update for the phone from AT&T.
What is this update? I postponed it for now.

What build are you currently on?

Build: GINGERBREAD.UCKJ2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11
Android: 2.3.5
Rooted

Probably UCLA3.

Will it reset my root at all?

No.

Stop making these stupid threads.

I wonder why this section of the forums is full of psychopath , simple question was asked , probably too noob , a simple answer is all that required (and maybe a mod lock shortly after) .... xcrazyds please be crazy somewhere else not here..WOW I miss Nexus S forums friendly section
And to the OP : either you procede with the update or be adviced that the latest firmware is the 2.3.6 UCLA3 version...Read more and avoid asking things asked many times before..

Then go back to nexus s. I don't enjoy a cluttered forum with the same threads posted 5,000 times. I report them and tell the OP not to do this.

Agreed, everyday someone makes a thread about how they got the ICS update and it turns out to be UCLA3. The regulars are getting tired of the forums getting cluttered with trash.

[Q] New To Phone...Questions...Please Help! :)

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

There is official CM9 support, theres also official AOKP support so if you want to go for any of those just head over to the discussion threads in general. Many new good roms being produced since official ICS came out yesterday so just head over to the development forum and you'll see a lot. UCLF6 is the latest ICS so those based around that version will have the most recent one. :good:

Got my SR a month ago and the development seems to have really picked up. Big thank you to all the devs, more options than I can handle. I don't think we're missing any big name roms, maybe slimics if that even counts but Nexus is just that. Official CM and AOKP is a big plus and will provide long term development should things slow down.

k, i edited some crap out

where did i mess up to get this verizon unauthorized message?

i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??
Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?
sent from my s-off rezound
I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.
Sent from my Synergized vzw SGS3
This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.
Probably just didn't use Kexec
You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.
Time to download stock images to odin

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

really, what a DB (probably doesn't know the answer anyway).
I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.
wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

Wait there is something everyone did not ask in their haste that no search was done.
To the OP are you on AT&T? If not that post with the how to get back to gb instructions may not work for you, and it might brick you.
If you are not on att and one of the other leaks please ask this question in the thread you installed the leak from. If you are on AT&T then you should be fine with the link posted in this thread.

I have to agree with the op. Threads not in development get overlooked quickly. They fall of the radar fast. I have a way to do this on stock TW without flashing files and going back to your back up, etc. But just like this guy, getting bashed for the wrong area, I'm apprehensive about posting my results. Is the fix app related? Development? General? Depends on who you talk to. Once I get a solid answer from a moderator, I will post my finds.
EDIT: I feel personally the fix should go in development. A lot of people are asking for this in all the ROMs.

The problem is if everyone posts there question in development then it still become like q & a and we won't be able to find actual development. I gave the op the answer. All you do is flash it in cwm and then it there will be a setting in the stock messaging app.

Some people may be stock rooted. May not have custom recovery. They may be happy with stock just want the nagging screen on to go away. That's all I'm doing is tweaking the stock ROM. Just FYI.

Well that's a nice tweak. I'm stock rooted myself (now) but I put a recovery on simply to do backups and ensure I don't get an ota. However many point was if they allows questions in the development thread then out will become bogged down like the other sections. Also, the op made a duplicate post in the correct section that was answered
