I too recieved the text message from ATT today at 2:30pm central time.
I could not update. I am running Sky ICS 4.2F-3A
I did how ever call ATT Customer support and said I was running
2.3.6 and what was the deal with this message ICS??
The gentlemen on the phone informed me that there is an official update
for the SII and it officially drops tomorrow Today 06/26/2012
He couldn't verify if it was ICS.
He also said that the skyrocket may be included or be right behind.
This is all I know. But a little more infor than others have provided.
Please do not reply and create another what if, blah,blah,blah thread about
ICS update. If I get more information I will add it.

Both my wife and I have Galaxy SII Skyrocket I727 devices through AT&T, and both got the "IMPORTANT SOFTWARE UPDATE" text yesterday.
My phone is rooted, and did not take the update, but her's is not, and did. I don't have it in front of me, but it was a new version Gingerbread of some sort. Maybe UCKJ3. There were definite changes though after, like a new text message alert icon and swipe to unlock notifier.
That is all I know, sorry. If I remember tonight, I'll look at her kernel and ROM codes and post. Thanks.
Don't make new threads if there is already ones talking about the exact same thing. locked.

I have email both Samsung and ATT along with live chatin with both also. Email responces for both Samsung and ATT have been the same both times to an extent. What i did learn was with the live chat. ATT's live chat although pretty much the same as the email. The tec i talked to couldn't tell me when but he did shead some light on something which i didn't know. According to the tec ATT really doesn't have anything to do with the release and update. Here i thought from everything i have been reading it's been ATT draging their feet thats not the case. So Got a responce from Samsung asking pretty much the same thing i did in the ATT email. Asked when the 2.2 android update would be out. Coarse got back the same as i normaly did stating their working on bringing the best experence with the upgrade and download that they can. So it's coming. What i also did was added how the ATT tec said ATT doesn't have anything to do with the release and when it will be out. Samsung didn't correct me about this. So send all emails to Samsung maybe they will get tired of all the questions and be able to give us a time frame.
The response you got from Samsung is the same they have been throwing out for months. The AT&T reps are trained to always say it is not their fault.
Think what you want, but Samsung passed Froyo build to AT&T a while back, and AT&T is sitting on it. We have a Beta from October to prove that - it has all the ATT&T bloatware.
Unless you talk to a manager that knows about software releases (not a customer service person) you will only get canned responses.
Like every topic of this nature that has been posted and what the person above me said most of the people you talk to make it up as they go. At&t us the culprit behind the laggy release but of course they will tell you otherwise. What is the difference between a rogers and att phone that makes it samsungs fault?

Process =
1. Samsung readies firmware and gives to the carrier. ATT likely has had the firmware in hand since late November (the same time samsung gave it to T-mobile).
2. generally takes carrier 2-3 months to customize the firmware/test/lockdown features/install their bloatware etc. ATT definitely holding it back at this point but i think it will arrive sooner rather than later. I would say Verizon and ATT both got their firmware at same time as t-mobile they have just taken longer to finalize the update for the push. In ATT's case i would suggest it all hinges on them trying to lockdown the native MobileAP feature so you have to use their App with paid tethering.
2 cents.

Seriously. What's not unhelpful is out of date.
IT is getting increasingly galling at this point. I love how when you write to Samsung and ask, they say they can't provide an answer because it would lead to speculation and inaccurate information. But of course it's exactly yhe opposite that is actually true...
There is zero point to speculating/complaining about the lack of an official Froyo update. I'm not saying I don't sympathize, just that it's non-productive.
Samsung won't speculate because AT&T is sitting on this... here is more proof:
http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...ncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115196&isSrch=Yes
The title says it all "Send, Receive, or Delete a Picture, Audio or Video Message (MMS) with the Samsung Captivate (i897) with Android 2.2"
And Samsung's tweets to me confirm it... when pressed - they specifically said 2.2 had not been released to "Captivate Users".
I have always maintained that AT&T is sitting on the release. Why, I am not sure, but the fact that numerous support pages reference 2.2 indicates that they geared up to push it out a while ago - that means stable builds have been available or they would not have made support pages that have very specific screen shots.
I sent them an email a couple of days ago explaining crap thats going on with the phone and how Froyo 2.2 would from what i understand fix most of the problems etc etc. I just wanted to try again to find out about a date. Well i got an email back from tec. upport saying they are glad to announce that the 2.2 update IS available and to call their 800 number for help if i had problems installing. but clicking on the link just brings me to the old FAQ page that they took down. Come on Samsung get a freaking clue. I don't understand why they would send this out and not be true?????
(so maybe things will be rolling out today then because after rereading email i noticed their central time which is 3 hours behind me. So right now my time there still closed) Fingers crossed
Ok so just got of the phone with Samsung. Acording to them and the information they have in their office Froyo 2.2 IS OUT but because theres a problem with the site we don't can't download it yet lol Samsung needs to really get an Fing clue.
I'm pretty sure you need to install that with Kies Mini if it is, indeed, available.

Nothing showing up on Kies Mini eather. So again am hoping that things will start rolling out as soon as they open at 9 central time.
I saw another post at AT&T official forum about multiple Samsung reps claim the 2.2 for Froyo is avialable and directed to the same link. Looks like Samsung already trained or released information about Captivate 2.2 release internally, a bit prematurally. So, it seems our UCKB1 ROM will be the official ROM after all. It is just waiting for AT&T to give the final nod.
<--- not holding his breath... Plus, the more I think about it, at this point... What's the point? I mean, 2.2 is rapidly aging and I'm not aware of any newly released devices coming out with 2.1 anymore - They've all got 2.2, which means that 2.3 is the next step.... and with the excellent development we already have, running stable 2.2 is already a reality! I want the update just so the companies are held to their promises, but as for an official 2.2; I'm not going back to ATT bloatware and half ass GPS.
Tried OTA update and it just hung......
I tired to go into media hub yesterday just to see if i missed it being fixed and it hung on checking for update. Checked phone for OTA and it also hung on checking for update. funny thing is about 4 days ago everything was working just fine. Im about to get on the phone with ATT and ***** about the email and when samsung opens and nothing happenes today will be on the phone *****ing about sending false emails to people.
So basically Samsung has just changed the lies from "It will be out soon" to "It's out now but you can't have it"! Way to go Samsung!
UCKB1 has a working media hub. If I were you I'd just install that. It'll probably end up being the official build anyhow.
Bunch of crap Samsung is. wow.....
Just got done talking to live support. what a joke. i have a dam email saying it's out. if you call and talk to someone they say all the info they have says it's out but live says its not and gives you the say crap as before about no info right now. Someone over there needs to get their head out of their ass and get a CLUE.
I just clicked on the Software Update Option on my phone and I got a message saying that there was a software update for my phone but that the servers were busy and to try later. I already have version 2.3.6 on my phone so I'm wondering if AT&T is about to deploy ICS on the Skyrocket. Unfortunately, I'll now have to wait until tomorrow at the same time to check for any updates as you can only check once every 24 hours. Does anyone have any other way to force your phone to check more than once a day? Crossing my fingers that the message wasn't a glitch. And still waiting for the shipment of my new Galaxy S III.

I got AT&T and also i get the same message today when i checked for un update. I also have Gingerbread 2.3.6 so is not other available update at this time other than ICS! I hope SAMSUNG doesn't create an 2.3.7
The last time I get that message, a couple of days later i get 2.3.6 so cross your fingers. to AT&T get thos done right.
Find interesting as some people can check more than once for updates. Some people say doing it just taking out the battery for a few minutes and check again but i haven't had any luck yet

Locking this. Please search and read before making a post/thread.

This thread is to clear up the "important software update" text some of us have been getting. First off seeing as how the T989, 727R and i777 ICS updates were done through Kies this more than likely wont be an OTA update due to the size of it but will be downloaded and installed with Kies.
the message that skyrocket users (and HTC vivid owners) have been receiving: "IMPORTANT SOFTWARE UPDATE: AT&T is providing a critical software update for your device. Please follow screen prompts."
Seeing as how the galaxy S2 (i777) is officially getting ICS on 6/25/12 this message is more than likely referring to that specific update for the i777 which IS NOT for the at&t galaxy s2 skyrocket
If you want to stay up to date with the updates for skyrocket and any other samsung device then use Check Fus Downloader
Check Fus "News" section hasn't been updated since 2011-09-27. Wouldn't exactly call it "News"...

Not the news section >_<
Use the downloader
Seeing how the AT&T SGH-I777 got updated via Kies, not OTA as everyone in the Skyrocket forums has predicted, I still see value in this message. And people need to stop stopping people from checking Kies for updates saying they are wasting their time.
Hopefully someone checks Kies so that people who have unsupported firmwares know when to revert back to get the update.
Both my wife and I have Galaxy SII Skyrocket I727 devices through AT&T, and both got the subject text message yesterday.

That is all I know, sorry. If I remember tonight, I'll look at her kernel and ROM codes and post. Thanks.
EDIT: Okay. Sent her a text, and she gave me the codes. Here is what the update did:
1. 2.3.6
2. I727UCLA3
3. 2.6.35.11
4. GINGERBREAD.UCLA3
Hope that helps. Thanks.
Haven't got this text message using Seanz ICS Rom (based off the Leak, not the Roger's release).
Please don't bump. Other than that good informative thread.

I got this one a few weeks ago. I noticed the phone in the store had boxes on the phone icon instead of solid green.
Just occurred to me today that the AT&T Skyrocket was the first of the APQ8060 Galaxy's to receive the leak, but it is the last one to get the update, which has yet to happen. How is this possible?
This just makes me realize how bad Kies really is

Ladies and Gentlemen,
My T-Mobile US G2x (Latest Official: Android 2.3.4 V21y GRJ22) last Saturday 11/10 started to display a update notification.
As a long time G2x User (...), I decided to check with LG before anything.
So far LG is saying that there is no more recent updates available for it.
However, the update notification came back again today and I got screenshots.
Has anybody else seen a update notification for the G2x?

Old news already been discussed there is even a recent thread again discussing this just a couple of threads down. If you manage to actually get the "update" installed let us know
xBkKx,
I went down the forum pages and I did not find your referred post.
Do you mind point it out?
So I want to try to see if LG says anything before I try anything.
I do not want to take chances with the G2x...
Do you?

I got that notification constantly when I was using the stock 2.3.4 ROM back in June after seeing nothing positive coming from it I just went back to the ICS/JB ROMs since I was just having false hope it was an OTA for ICS
