looks like rogers stock ics has "software update" option on the phone, on GB it wasnt there, dont know if it will actually update our firmware ota, will have to wait for an update to check it out
u wont c it anymore if on seans skyics 4.2f, that option was removed probably because it wouldnt do an update on a nonstock rom
Interesting hmmm

Given that I doubt there will be any large updates again ota is good for patches and security updates it makes sense

If by new you mean 2.3.6 UCLA3, that's been out for awhile and there are a few roms based on it. AT & T just keeps re-releasing the update because it has failed to update on a large number of devices, mainly because they weren't 100% stock.

Some of the custom roms based on 2.3.6 use the ics Lock screen
My friend just reported that he just received the Official OTA ICS update on his i727. I'm running the leaked build so I can't confirm. Anyone else seeing the official update yet?
Not true.

Yeah, he's retarded. It turned out to be the latest GB update.
Agreed ^^^ ur "friend" is lying. When officialbics hits this subsection will blow up, trust me

I think it is available. I am on 2.3.6 and checked. It said I had an update but servers were busy and it would try again. I tried to check again but now it says I'm updated and I can check again in 24 hours, which is frustrating.
No update. I'm on stock unrooted 2.3.6. Checked and I'm up to date.

Its the same 2.3.6 update that they keep rolling out in waves.
I have the stock GB but rooted with cwm. I got rid of all the att crap with root installer. I took the OTA 'update' and after restart it reported the update failed. Also corrupted my encrypted sd card. dunno why. it won't 'continue update' as grayed out. Especially pissed now as OPs are saying this isn't even the (long awaited) ICS update.
My advice: ignore this update.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS from Samsung to show up on xda; I'll flash that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Can someone edit the thread title to remove ICS from it? It's irking me.
Yes I keep seeing this thread get bumped and want to go insane
Don't be so negative guys. They roll out OTA really slowly. Sometime over a month or two. This might be real.
I used Odin to flash the leaked version of Ice Cream Sandwich to my Skyrocket back in March. Now that the official release is fiiiinally out, I was wondering if there are any specific tweaks that make the official ICS better than the leaked firmware. I'd like to have the official, but Kies isn't recognizing my device so I'd have to flash the stock ROM and THEN use Kies to update all over again. If there are no notable improvements (i.e. battery life, etc) I'd just keep things the way they are. Any suggestions?
There is no official for the skyrocket

Thanks guys!! Really appreciate the info!
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

If you want 2.3.6 stock download official tar from sammobile

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?
True but I'm on here all the time so I'm tired of the update fever threads

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.

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

Its STILL not out yet for the Xperia S!???? Wow, Sony truly taking their sweet time with it, even the GS2 has JB now.
Dont be in a rush for it, seeing many of the Xperia T JB bug reports, seems Sony still has a ton of work to do on their JB FW.

Just googled and searched around, and nope, Sony have not even released a single official JB FW for the XS, seems they delayed the release. They are still crap with their support from what im seeing.
I hope March will be the month.
