Software Update Check Fails

Going to settings > about phone > software update > software update check results in an error every time - failed connection. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

I'm getthing this as well, the other day I was getting an authentication error instead. I've been checking a few times a day just for giggles to see if there's any updates. Perhaps this "connection failed" is an indicator something is about to happen?

I've gotten both of those errors ever since the phone was released. I wouldn't read into it too much.

It looks like according to LG website you need to download the phone software and connect your phone to a PC\MAC and check\install software updates that way.

I get the same thing.
Does it have anything to do with being rooted?

Everyone gets this error. It simply means that no update is available.

Software Update not supported for this model

I just used the LGMobile Support tool to check for updates. This time it said update available launced a new screen checked the s/w version then gave me the message "Software Update not supported for this model". Mine is rooted running the FAUX ext4 kernel. Has anyone tried with a stock phone?

I have used it on a my phone without an issue. I am running a stock build of froyo and I am not rooted.

Have you tried recently? I am curious if there really is an update.

I have no examples or anything, but I seem to remember a few threads before where people said there was an update, tried to go through with it and there wasn't really one... Or something like that.
Unless this is ANOTHER one, but I doubt it.

Without the phone plugged in you can check the software version for the device.

If you got root you will never update your phone (i didn't talk about custom kernel !)

Just tried last night and it says my phone is up to date.

I unrooted and reverted to stock recovery this morning. There is no update.
Now back to normally scheduled programs.

Good to know.

A new update?

I found this article last night and really cannot find anything else about it. Don't know what truth it holds but curious if anyone else could chime in for those of us who do not care to root at this moment.

I got the notification earlier today, it downloaded the entire thing, rebooted, starting installing then went back to lock screen saying install failed. Now when I try to check for updates it says I have to wait 23 hours to check again epic fail lol...

Look in the cache partition and try reinstalling.
For those of you who have it, can you upload and post it somewhere?

I got a very similar result. It downloaded, rebooted and then said "Install Interrupted." Now I can't even choose the "Continue update" option and my phone is still reporting:
Android: v2.3.5
Baseband: I727UCKJ2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11

I assume you'd have to be rooted to do that and unfortunately this is a corporate device which is airwatched (so not an option :[ ). I'll be patient and hope that this works tomorrow when I check again

Oooo...looks like there is a fix in there for the battery meter sticking

Keep the downloaded OTA on your /sdcard, but DO NOT INSTALL it! There is some dev work being done on the newest "leak", and I can tell you, things have changed. Avoid complications, and just sit back and hold tight to the OTA you found until we (erm... the devs) have tested this, and can get us back to stock.
Trust me...

will do

Don't install this leak!!! I am warning you, you can not fxz at all after this one. just go install the first leak that is posted in the general section, we have a way to fxz with that one still.

Yes. The new leak is very much final ICS for us. And, as jim mentioned, it will lock us down even more with no way to return to GB. Unless that doesn't matter to you for some reason, I would stick with the first ICS leak found and posted in the general section. Then you may flash a ROM made from the new leak if you wish to experience what the newest leak has to offer. Or, you can decide for yourself what's best for you..

That statement is not entirely true. You can install it being rooted. But, if you have ever had bootstrap/BootMenu installed.. or have removed any files that get patch checks, then it won't install.

Well where is the first leak? I'm lookin not finding, the one i found they said i had to rsd flash to searet or mearet but rsd would not flash with the files the site gave me, my bootloader says failed n evertime i rebooted is goes to bootloader, but i'm not a novice n fix that prob, so if anyone has a att edison ATRIX 2 n installed the first leak give a how to please, do i have to flash bck to 2.3.5 cause i did dat got the ota to 2.3.6 tried the update n still nothing, i just wanna get of GB it's cool but everyone is upgrading n I'm stuck waitin for moto dev to stop scratching their ass n give us what we want :banghead:

Can we get a screen shot? My initial response is no, don't do it.
Firmware info for it would be great.
Screenshots in ICS are down on volume rocker and power button at the same time.

I would hold off for now. But that's your decision.

The devs and other senior members are recommending against this update as you cannot go back to GB from it.

AT&T's description
Summary Description:
* Effective October 25, 2012, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be available to AT&T customers via Wi-Fi only for those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (OS 4.04), which is still available via Sideload.
Software Update Includes:
* Google applications such as Gmail, Maps, Play Books, etc., may be updated to the newer versions.
* Fixes a problem that impairs users from being able to download the following pre-loaded AT&T applications: Kindle, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Locker, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, U-verse Live TV, myAT&T, and Messages.
o Currently when customers launch one of these applications they are connected to the Google Play storefront, but they are not given the option to download the application.
Software Download/Update Instructions:
Network Initiated Software Update
Upon receipt of the Software Update notification, the customer should select Continue and follow the simple steps to download and install the new software. Customers will also have the option to postpone the update for 1, 4, or 8 hours. Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will receive this FOTA message.
1. Tap "Continue"
2. After the software is downloaded, Tap "Install now"
3. After the software is installed, the phone will re-start automatically
4. The phone is now upgraded to Baseband version I727UCLI3.
Device Initiated Software Update
Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to pull this software update from the phone.
1. Tap "Settings" icon
2. Tap "About Device"
3. Tap "Software Update"
4. Tap "Check for Updates"
* A message will display. "Software update process will not delete any personal data on your phone. Check the AT&T server for new software update?"
5. Tap OK
* A message will display. "A new software update from AT&T is available for your phone. This update will occur over Wi-Fi. Please make sure to stay within the Wi-Fi coverage area while the download takes place. This could take several minutes."
6. Tap Continue
* The device will automatically restart once the new software has successfully downloaded.
* Status Message: "The software has been successfully installed. Your phone is now ready for use."
7. Tap OK
The device must have an active SIM card installed to accept the update. Ensuring the device battery is charged to at least 50% is recommended for a successful software installation. The software update is available over Wi-Fi only.
Software Version Verification:
1. Tap Applications icon from Home Screen
2. Tap Settings icon
3. Tap About phone. If the Baseband version reads I727UCLI3 the device has the software update.

If the same rules apply for a successfuly OTA update, (1) you must be on ICS stock ROM, and (2) stock recovery; (3) no apps frozen or debloated to get the update
