2.3.6 update for AT&T skyrocket...

Has anyone updated yet? If so were you able to re root? Or did root access stay?

there are several threads on this in the skyrocket general forum.

Yes to both.
If all you did was root, you should be able to keep it when flashing. Others have reported that it stays. If you flashed a custom recovery though, it would be wise to flash back to stock first before updating. You can get root after by flashing CWM with odin and then installing the zip file for root.

Thank you for taking the time to inform us your inquiry concerning your Samsung Galaxy S™ II Skyrocket™
Android Smartphone (SGH-I727). We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Currently, we still don’t have the information on Gingerbread 2.3.6 version software update for the phone. We
are still making additional test for the 2.3.6 update for the phone which is why also we can't give specific time
and date for the release of this update. You may still check our website periodically for the future update of the
phone. You will be also notified or be prompted on the device by your service provider for the updates.
Again, we thank you for comments and appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,

Well, that's weird because I've been rocking 2.3.6 for a few days now so I'm confused by your comment.
It's also been reported across several tech blogs:

Or samsung just needs to get there crap togther and get on the same page if some of there employees do not know there is an update being pushed out

Is it possible that it's been taken down? I updated my Skyrocket OTA to 2.3.6, then returned it because of BT problems. I bought two more at BB, neither of these show an update as being available--they're both on 2.3.5.

I know there's a brightness contol issue with 2.3.6 (experienced by a few people including myself) when battery gets below 10%, brightness contol gets greyed out... at 5%, screen goes to full brightness! Would be nice if a few more people could confirm this. When off AC power, does your Display.... Brightness contol grey-out when battery level drops below 10 %?

Wipe factory reset your phone. Afterwards, don't do nothing with the phone but connect to Wi-Fi and look for the update. That works for me every time. Check on Wi-Fi only. Let me know if it work.

That must be it.

Same thing here. I have the SGSII Skyrocket and the update for 2.3.6 was available to me four days ago. Weird that some folks do not have the update available OTA.

As some people have mentioned, there might have been an issue with the update and maybe it was pulled but it does exist. I have no reason to lie.

Yes the update does exist, and there is a cwm flashable rooted zip of it in another thread

The only update I will take is ICS..... This update is useless..

Orange UK OTA update?

Hi guys!
Just recieved an OTA notification, when I check the details it says:
"Update: HTC twitter client 20.73 MB"
Is this just the twitter update or more, since 20 megs seems too big!
I havent been here for a couple of weeks, so might have missed news of an important update.
So any idea what this update is? Also if its an important one, do I lose root, s-off etc, and if yes can i get it back easily by revolution etc?
My current software is 1.45.61.4.
Thanks in advance

I'm wet...

I doubt very much if it's ICS, until the OP installs the update we won't know what it is but I'd imagine it's the Orange UK 1.50 update

Why would they push Twitter update OTA? Wouldn't that be an update via market??
Any news as to what this is? Surely can't be ics at 20mb?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

1.50 OTA update was described as a Twitter update, so I suppose that's just it.

Wonder why It's 20MB then since twitter app is about 4MB
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

WOW, didnt mean to get you guys all so excited! ;-)
I doubt it would be ICS, this is orange uk we are talking about, they are usually WAY behind the curve, and they really take their time, to add their crapware, and properly screw up the original OS!
SUrely I cant be the only one who has got this?
Anyone else?
Really dont want to just give it a go, since im am rooted and s-offed, and have trimmed some bloatware away, so doubt it would install anyway (a la the last update which I had to restore to the original ROM, update, and then reinstall everything..)
Ill wait some time, to see what others say here, and then I'll do a nandroid backup and try the install.
Meanwhile please keep the info coming, and you guys just enjoy your excitement! ;-)

First of all, the "twitter" in twitter update means the HTC Twitter client Peep as well as the sense twitter integration.
Secondly, although its touted as Twitter update, it updates a hell lot of files on the system along with the hboot and boot.img. So its not just "twitter update"

it would be twitter, the friendstream and htc sense twitter, thats around 20mb aint it?

So, in short words, should I update or not?
(never use twitter or peep, but if its gonna screw up hboot etc, what do I lose?)

If your on here i would of thought you would be rooted and s-off by now anyway and running a custom rom. Would'nt do the ota in case they have done something to the h-boot.

I wouldn't update. If it was just Twitter I think a market update should do the trick. Since it's an ota I guess it updates more then just some apk's
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

I got a 14mb OTA update to install when I checked on my stock recovery rom I backup. I'm rooted with s-off by revlou tool. tried yo install aborted fail. I'm guessing cause of root ans s-off. Read about andriod recovery manager to install OTA updates, however having difficulties undrerstanding process. TMO HTC Sensation 4g . I think it was for bug and enhancements, dont know long it was there, I just saved 14mb on sd and laptop. can anyone advise me.

Actually now that i think of it, would a nandroid backup save the hboot etc files? Dont think so, cauz in my mind it only saves a snapshot of the OS+data+settings.
Cuz if this update screws around with those, then my plan of nandroid backup for risk free testing wouldnt really work!
PS
And since its gonna be monday, I hope other people will see and reply to this post. I cant believe I could be the ONLY one to receive this notification. NO one else on orange uk, or with an orange branded handset?

New ATRIX2 GB Firmware, probably for AT&T Variant

Hi everyone, yesterday i was checking the website "http://sbf.droid-developers.org/" and i found a new firmware, nothing new really, it looks like a full 2.3.6 Fastboot files for A2, AT&T users, did somebody try it?

If there is a new Bootloader may be we wouldn't be able to go back or probably we would, not sure, i've been around Motorola's website and i saw that they are working to unlock the bootloaders, hopefully with the future ICS OTA we could probably have an option in fastboot to unlock it, would be awesome.. About this firmware we don't know what we could find. Probably nothing interesting but at least we know that Motorola is still working in MB865.

It is just a 2.3.5 fxz with a different radio, nothing more nothing less. No unlocked BL or anything different really.

Jim! I flashed the firmware, its the FULL 2.3.5 WITH the OTA update to 2.3.6 so its a full 2.3.6 for att variants, system version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US so its safe to flash!

I know that DROID RAZR users got an update that made their devices ready for the ICS upgrade. Their update seem to not change anything ...
Would this save us a step when trying to install the ICS leak?
Just thoughts ...

Could be, its exactly the same as the OTA Update but the Full FXZ so people won't need to flash 2.3.5 then apply the OTA, with this, which is the same as the OTA you can skip 1 step and flash directly the leak or simply wait to receive the official OTA which is on the way, next month probably..

Most likely, yes, brick. Do not flash this while on ICS.

Absolute failure by Verizon. Verizon's list of features has typos and they don't have a damn clue what Google Now is! C'mon man!
'Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software updrade.' Really?
And why is the Google Now screenshot labled as Google Plus?
Furthermore, why do all the screenshots contain on screen soft keys? WTF Verizon!?
Obviously, Verizon has no clue about software and the Android OS. Makes me wonder why the updates take so long!

Broken help was actually a bug in my previous prep method for the leaks. I have fixed that on the last leak as of 12/10. Refer to the new K3 No-Wipe Fixed image in my thread.

Wonder if this would fix the home button going back to home screen when screen itself is off. That or if its already been fixed by a dev I'll take it.

IF, IF , IF this really happens..... I am rooted and unlocked, thats it. Will I still be able to get the OTA update? If no, what do I need to do to get the OTA when it is rolled out?
Thanks in advance

It will only show you OTA if you have the official build (last OTA version was VRALHE). If you flashed any of my earlier leaks you won't get the OTA and will have to flash VRBLK3 manually from my thread. Otherwise you will get the OTA and it will just remove root and relock your bootloader.
The ironic thing is that in order to reroot and unlock your bootloader after the OTA you have to reflash VRBLK3 manually from my guide anyways so if you're looking to keep root, custom recovery, or unlocked bootloader after the OTA, just don't bother with the OTA and follow the guide from my thread to get on the OTA early.

actually i think it will only show the ota if you have the stock recovery. if you flashed CWR or TWR then you will have to wait until one of the devs here root it for us. or odin back to stock and upgrade from there.

So those of us who have been on the K3 leak have been on the OTA? Or is there a chance they'll make additional changes to the OTA...?

There will b no changes they have decided after testing. . I hope... they don't get all jumpy and add things at the last minute that would b 6 months from now if they wanted anything changed.. unless it was critical.

Here is the link to the OTA I downloaded: https://mega.co.nz/#!0MhhjboT!VZVUVq61sJa05XZVaaN1n8TdLzGPU5917i40KUYcnws

Wow. And my 1.25.720.3 device has no OTA yet, I think I need to be a bit worried now.

Even my friends who were on your firmware didn't get it.

Umm..just had a look at the notification bar.. I guess, i my phone , in dual sim mode, it doesn't show the signal strength like that. it comes side by side..

No updates yet

That is because I'm on Reliance CDMA. It shows a separate signal for 1x and EvDO.. Also, I don't even use the dual SIM.. I just use it with one..

Hi guys
I just updated from 1.26.720.5 to 1.26.720.6 today
I can confirm that my sys r/w boot.img works on the latest update, so you all can use it too for perfect root !
As per improvements i haven't noticed much other than the USSD code problem.
I use to have a problem with sim 2 before the update.
Whenever i try to check balance on sim2 (airtel) using *123# i use to get error , BUT after the latest update it is fixed.
Njoy!

Your current firmware is probably 1.25.720.3. That's why. I guess we need to go to SVC to get it updated. -_-

One of my friends went to the service center and spoke to HTC Support as well and he was told that there are no updates over 1.25.720.3.. Isn't that strange!

It's not really, from what I know, it also depends on the availability of the latest software with them, which needs to be coordinated beforehand. In any case, I'll be finding out soon at the Bangalore SVC, since the Kolkata one didn't have the 1.26.720.5 too. I want my phone to be up to date. They are not even pushing out OTA. This is bull****, I'll create a ruckus if they say no update is available. :/

But then HTC Support should at least have this info. They don't.

He has got the Update because he Using reliance CDMA. This update should be carrier based update. .. and hope that's others didn't receive...

It isn't carrier based. My phone was on a newer firmware to begin with. I didn't buy it from the carrier anyway.

Lollipop update corrupted
On my HTC E8 dual SIM Indian phone (bought from Flipkart at 32k), I checked for update and got 1.25.720.5. After updating successfully, checked again and updated 1.25.720.6 too. The next check said Lollipop update 2.33.720.3 (863.75 MB) available. Ever since then (yesterday), I've downloaded the update three times unsuccessfully. After completion, which sometimes takes 6-8 hours, it says the update file is corrupted, and to download again. I started the download for fourth time.
Question: Anyone else facing/faced similar problem? What's the remedy?
I have done NO software tweaks on my phone since purchase.
Thanks in advance.
