Not sure but looks like Korea Galaxy S2 ICS Firmware is available for download

Just came across this site that appears to have ICS ready to download for the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Could be promising?

The Skyrocket is not the International Galaxy S2!!!! Seriously, we've had more threads than I can count of people saying "ICS coming soon to the Galaxy S2", but no one seems to realize that I727 does not equal I9100....
I appreciate the effort in finding this, but please don't try and flash this, you will undoubtedly brick your phone beyond repair.

Thanks. Again that's why I included the Not Sure on the title post. Just thought this would be something of interest to the forum.

It's mildly interesting in the sense that Samsung has said we come after that device. Doesn't mean a whole lot other than that though.

All we can hope is that the International Skyrocket will be soon there after. Then it can be ported our way. AT&T will take their sweet time updating, so this is our only hope.

Skyrocket Section Etiquette

ok so this is to help keep the peace i am posting this on top of the forum rules they may overlap or intersect. My goal here is to help keep down on the issues of repeat threads, wrong sections, trolling, and any other hijinx that comes here.
1. SEARCH
yes sometimes its hard especially on your phone with taptalk because we all know how that works. Solution: Try using google search using keywords such as xda, skyrocket, and whatever your issues is this always works for me.
If your on a computer use xda's built in search tool or google as i stated above.
I personally promise 90% of all issues can be found on the web with answers if you just take a few minutes to search
2. IF ITS A QUESTION IT BELONGS IN Q&A
It does not matter what the question pertains to it is a question and belongs in Q&A i have reported tons of these here recently having them moved. i know you think that its a general question but no it belongs in Q&A ok.
3. READ
This one is kinda broad for a reason here we go
If you ask a question within a thread at least have the decency to read the last few pages to see if anything comes up that may answer your question im not talking the whole thread but maybe 3 or so pages. The reason for this is that i have seen alot of threads where people have a question answered then not 2 or 3 posts later the same question comes up. This leads to cluttering of the thread making it much harder for others to find information.
This also goes along with wanting to make a thread look at like 3 pages of threads to make sure you dont have a reapeat post this thing happens alot again it comes from lack of attention.
4. TROLLING/FLAMING
This ones a big one and im a massive perp for this and will be the first to admit it.
We need to stop the trolling its just getting worse and not fixing anything yes its hard to ignore especially for us old timers but we need to set the standard now this forum is too big for us to be going on like we have been.
Solution: squash the issues by reporting if you wanna report multiple times fine get your buddies to report fine but lets stop the hate i personally am working on this as well.
i know you guys are gonna ignore this and whatever but my hope is the message gets across to you guys and makes this section a more peaceful place for all

wanted to thank you for posting this even though most of it should be common sense but i only got 8 thanks per day

You might mention in the OP that the best way to Google search the forums in to prefix the search with:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
So to search for 'skyrocket ics update' within the xda forums only would be:
site:forum.xda-developers.com skyrocket ics update

Also you could add links to the existing threads stickied in Dev. We all know their stickied for a reason, but many people overlook them and head straight for the new thread button

If you are going to help somebody, have the courtesy to check back on the thread so you know they are in the right direction.

So much win all over this thread.
No, the Skyrocket is a variant of the GS2 platform for AT&T. If you use Skyrocket files on a base GS2, you will turn your phone into a paperweight. Google "Galaxy S2 XDA" and you'll see the right forums. Ask in the Q&A over there (not development) and people will be able to help you. Over here, you'll just get flamed for all this win.

And posting in q&a takes so long because nobody has the answer or want you to SEARCH mostly the latter. This thread in every way is not allowed in any of our sections

Ok, if you don't even know what kind of phone you have, you really shouldn't be trying to flash things lol
Sorry dude, not trying to be mean, just trying to save you from bricking yourself because you have no idea what you're doing.

Wow... I thought I'd use the skyrocket to reply to this one dude, I've been flashing phones since 2007, forgive me for calling it a gs2, but the skyrocket is a gs2 also, and if you look at the bottom of this msg it will now read the device that I'm using... but thanks for your input, no offence taking

Lol say the skyrocket is a gs2 to 777 owners. The differences are staggering but as far as radios there is no best radio it's something you have to test for yourself and your specific area
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I agree on both your points here, and I've tried several radios even on the fly as I drove between Atlanta and Florida to see what gives the best signal in various locations.... just figured I'd post that question among the developers for a quick response, didn't expect so much wind... but just so you know I'm not exactly a noob, and I've been trying.... and secondly, the gs2 comes in a few different configurations that I'm aware of, but the radios for the most part flash over various ROMS, and can vary significantly from area to area..... also I've actually notices a difference using a different APN setting using a particular radio (selecting tmobile, straight talk or simple mobile) giving different signal strength and reception. I'm crazy, I know

I keep wondering if I clicked an apple forum by mistake. All I seem to see here is iphone this or that. People should just go buy the damn thing and leave us to talk about the S3.

I thought about making a new thread for this, but then decided to post it here. I just read on Arstechnica that the iphone 5 cant do simultaneous voice and data right now on Verizon due to the new dynamic antenna. All those iphone lovers will have to wait until Verizon turns on voice over lte. Right now any recent Verizon android lte phone can do voice and data at the same time.

Oh, that's a big minus, I feel. I've been taking advantage of checking things via the Internet while on the phone often enough, now. Most of my calls from a store are on what to buy, where to eat, prices, ratings, etc. - conversations dynamically flow to looking things up and I no longer have to hope the other person has access to the web or a related app at the time.

ill tell you the answer right now 0. ill put 5k on that. not while im watching this section.

You'll have to stop the flash half way through or you'll get a bricked s4. If you stop the flash a quarter way thru your s3 will be fine.

My opinion below still stands, there are already a couple threads that, if you used search, most users would find what they need. But, as this thread is covering all the other stuff, I have reopened it.
Trolls and flamers have no place in this thread and will be infracted, no more warnings.
