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

I bought the Galaxy Nexus when it first came out from Bell. I use the phone with my Rogers sim card. I am currently stuck on 4.0.1 and do not seem to recieve any updates. It is a yakjuux build. How can I update it to the most recent version? Does it have to do with using the Bell phone with my Rogers carrier?
In the same boat
I'm in the exact same boat and still on 4.0.1. Did you figure out why you're not getting updates?
Bump
I'm having the same issue. Any updates yet?
Hey everyone, first time posting.
So I did a search for my particular question, and while some Q&A's deal with similar concepts, I feel my question is still unanswered.
That being said:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE i727r (Rogers). I am with Fido. I am getting an unlock code ASAP so that I can use the phone. When the i727r actually gets the ICS update, will I be able to use Kies to upgrade? Or will I have to flash/use a ROM.
Alternatively, could I just borrow a friends Rogers-SIM and upgrade that way?
Thanks!
Hey bro, you can update your phone by lies because if you install ICS from, your phone won't be i727r. It will be i727. Unfortunately our phones hasn't ICS from Samsung official page. For this reason we only use modified rom from i727 skyrocket phones. I recommend you the SKY ICS 4.2E 7 by seanscreams.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653022

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any Telus 4.0.4 updates for the S2X and how would I install it. I am fairly new to this flashing and rooting stuff. I'm just afraid I may brick my phone and.. of course nobody would want that since that pretty much sucks.
I found some 4.0.4 ROMs or something for Koodo and T-Mobile S2Xs but I'm looking for one for my Telus phone and how would I install it. Just to be more brief, my phone is unlocked by the way.
Thanks for any replies.
Before I begin, I'd just like to say that I've reviewed numerous threads regarding this topic, both here and on other forums, and I have yet to find a single conclusive solution to my issue, which is why I'm posting.
I recently purchased an AT&T D800 G2 off the internet because I was informed AT&T uses the same frequencies as Canada's Telus. This is true, and the D800 runs on my Telus frequencies with 4G and 3G HSPA, but I found one annoying niggle (besides all the useless AT&T Bloatware that I can't remove), and that's the fact that I can't update my software.
Namely, it's the infamous "Not Registered" issue that the D800 gives me whenever I try to update. I've tried several fixes, but none have really helped me. I'm still running 4.2.2 JellyBean, Software Version D80010o. IIRC, latest JellyBean version is D80010q, so that means I'm not even running the latest JellyBean version.
I've read about one fix that I have not yet tried, and that is to use an Active AT&T Sim to try and allow it to update, since AT&T pushes out their own updates to devices on their network. Since I live in Canada and AT&T doesn't exist up here in the North, I was contemplating getting a GoPhone Sim (Their Prepaid division?) off eBay and using that just to get the Update. Would that work?
And if not, are there any ways of getting KitKat, and, later down the road, Lollipop without going down the Root path?
Thanks in advance, guys.
I don't know how to fix the ota issue, but you could get it on kitkat by searching for the d80020c tot file on xda and flash it with the lg flash tool. Just take the sim out during this process, I've done this and killed my sim.
Huh, okay.
I've definitely seen some threads that recommend flashing a new ROM.
The thing is (newb question)I rather like the LG Optimus UI and I'm not sure if flashing these things would revert me to vanilla android. Would it? I have no experience and since I don't have a warranty I guess I could try root if it would help.
No, it would install the kit Kat firmware provided by AT&T.

Awesome.
I'm just glad there's a way to bypass OTA issued by At&t.
Thanks for all your help!
P.S. Would flashing the ROM void warranty?
Looking to put some feelers out about rooting my dad's phone since it isn't acting right anymore and thanks to VZWs crap upgrade plan he is on, he will have this phone for another year or longer. Can you root and apply one of the custom roms like hyperdrive or even a MM rom? I'd be fine with CM as well.
Anything to make his phone not run like crap. I haven't tweaked an S3 in years, but I do remember that I think VZW released an OTA that made root and boot loader much harder or totally locked it down.
I was hoping someone might have a workaround that still works.
