at&t users ICS update thread - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

OK guys since there is a large number of users getting update fever im gonna make this as a means to keep the repeats down hopefully you will all read it and understand.
first off if you are on 2.3.5 you will have an update ota to 2.3.6
if you are on 2.3.6 currently there is no update (i will update the op if this changes)
rules you must be on 2.3.6 stock with stock recovery as well no apps frozen or debloated to get the update (op will change if i am wrong)
on 2.3.6 there is a glitch saying that you have an update available it is wrong you will try it may attempt a dl even but you will not get all the way.
so heres what we need if you take an update and meet all these criteria and it downloads and installs and you see in the about phone section that its 4.0.whatever then you can post i will ask whever takes it gets a stock nand preferably unrooted and rooted this will cut down on the number of posts and help the mods ok thank you for your time

Bump I wont let this get burried

2.3.5 must have the glitch also as that's what i have and I get the same messages. It wont even update to 2.3.6 as I believe AT&T is getting their system ready to put out the 4.0 whatever. Whatever the actual case maybe it can not be to far off now.

I was just tired of the same thread 500 times so I decided to try this

another round of leaks, then once all the xda devs fix all the bugs in that leak they should be good to release. ;P. why else would there be so many leaks?

I think Sammobile still has 2.3.5 but its nothing to flash it and OTA update to 2.3.6. I did this a few weeks back being bored.

Can't I just Unroot with superoneclick as that is what I used to get root? Or would I have issues updating afterwords?

you'd be better of just flashing a stock tar.
everything needs to be perfectly untouched to update.

acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above
Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.
INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.
Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root
Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.
Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.
Link to stock recovery
Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here...
WHY are we going to the OTA update if many are reporting poor 4g performance after the update. I don't want my 4g to run slower just so I can say I have 2.3.6

Did you check Sammobile?

The only stock ODIN currently available for the SR is I727UCKJ2, which is 2.3.5. If you flash that the phone should OTA to 2.3.6 within a few days.

Follow section 6.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253
Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

I saw somewhere here that if you're on HD then it won't update since that wasn't an official update. Idk how much truth there was to that. Have you tried updating by using the G7 OTA first?

Sorry, but nope! once you are on custom rom, you just have to wait for developer release version. If you want to take the update now, just odin back to stock EP4, then OTA to FP1, then FP5 then FP8. FP8 stock rom is pretty fast and smooth. Your choice!!
Is there any way to stop the OTA update from occurring?

as stated above nothing is formally supported on FP8, yet.
however, a few days ago I put Tweaked 3.2 on top of Stock FP8 (installed via CWM zip). Got to keep FP8 Kernels and Radios (confirmed kernel with "uname -r")
Nothing obvious broke, Calls/SMS/MMS went in and out... both wifi and mobile data worked.
Disclaimer: only played around with this thing for like half a day. did NOT put it through the paces. YMMV, hack at your own risk, etc.
I wouldn't do it unless you are messing around with your spare phone like i was.... just for grins
For now I'll ignore the update. im sure it's nothing I can't live without.
If you are currently running Tweaked 3.2 FP5 (or anything else not stock), I agree with you 100%.

[Q] Verizon S3 SCH-i535 JSS15J.VRUCNC1 How to Root?

Hey Guys,
going nuts over here... Tried odin method to flash NasirTech's CF_AutoRoot, it failed with "Auth Failed" on Odin. Tried cubeuncube's saferoot, that also failed saying my kernel has been patched. Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to get root on my device?
Thanks,
From what I have read you need to odin back to the previous release (ML1 I believe). Current rooting approaches do not work on NC1. You should also be posting this in the questions forum, not in general...

Some users have reported that they are still rooted. I'm almost sure it's a very small percentage that took the NC1 update that are still rooted.
My gf keeps putting off the OTA for NC1 and I told her what the "So called" benefit of updating to it and she told me, well maybe I'll be going to Canada. I told her its Realistically not for us USA users anyways lol

He is not claiming he maintained root after updating to NC1, he it's claiming he used saferoot to gain root after updating to NC1. He is the only one I have ever seen who has said saferoot worked on NC1.

Ummm I wouldn't use an unreliable link. Just my personal opinion. You will hard brick if you attempt to flash anything other than a TW rom on the ML1 modem/rom. You have to flash back to ML1 from NC1 using Odin.

It is I saw it when he posted. Same thing happened to me a while back they even used my guide word for word and android file host links. I thought about breaking the links on them but then I figured it helps spread the word.
