Hey guys. So my family members and I all have the same phone type, the AT&T skyrocket. Now, I use custom roms so this shouldnt matter to me, but my other family members arent getting the update OTA. Is the update only obtainable with Kies or is there just a problem between the AT&T server and their phones?

Only kies.

Do you think they'll roll out the update anytime soon through the AT&T servers?

I don't think they ever will. It'll just be over kies.

Text msg notifications are rolling out but the update is through Kies, if that helps clarify.

Uh I wouldn't want to grab that thing ota. Way to much to go wrong especially battery issues. If some moron decides oh hey yeah lemme DL this with what battery I have left over my 4g network. Dudes battery drains over the course the phone reboots to try and install said update phone dies and bricks. Kies ensures that A. You have a good download of the update package and B. Since you are connected you have juice to update the phone. This is CYA stuff not an oversight. I've seen tons of noobs on plenty of phones "the ota bricked my phone".

I was just saying kies is a pos. But I agree with you on kies being better than ota. I still prefer flashing a zip or odin a tar.

Not sure what are the differences between AT&T and Rogers but with Rogers I got my last 2 updates ota. I may be a newb but I'm not stupid so I made sure I had enough battery before proceeding
But it does not matter anymore now that I use custom ROMs.
So ota depends on Samsung and not the carrier?

I believe I read somewhere Samsung makes the update and the carrier determines whether to roll it out in your area.. working deals with Sammy...but don't quote me on that.If you do a search... that would be interesting to know for sure
OTA vs Kies

Yeah I know that the carrier controls whether an update will be released or not. They have to put all their bloatware and test it!
I was asking for the OTA vs Kies part. I thought that Since ICS (4.0), everything was available from OTA. But I think that you can always choose to update via Kies. I did not know that an update could only be released via Kies (disabling OTA). Not sure either.
Anyways! As I said, for me, not important anymore!!

I was able to check for start downloading the OTA from AT&T after already getting it on kies by reflashing to stock ICS. I stopped the OTA though because I wanted to redownload it in Kies to get the tar from the temp file for backup. The funny thing is that I had to do it twice because I messed up trying to find the file before it disappeared. It disappears after flashing is complete so you have to reflash ICS and do it again. Or u can take the easy way and download it off the web...but where's the fun in that?

Well since it's not important, I would guess, your data provider haha. Just going from Kies showing my number along with model number, I would assume they checked if I had service alongside checking my SIM card. Maybe check without a SIM and see what happens?

Yes. People pull the downloaded ota and your can flash it in stock recovery. I have the lg7 update straight from Verizon if you want it. I think it only works on lf2. If your on lg1 I think you need a different one.

If you're stock and not rooted, you should be getting updates over the air from Verizon, you don't need to apply them manually.

Sorry, I missed that. As long as you aren't rooted and haven't otherwise messed with the phone at all, I'd go ahead and call Verizon and see what they can do. You should be getting updates OTA and if you are not through no fault of your own, it's their responsibility to fix it, especially with the huge security hole that was found in these phones recently.
I had a VW S3 that wasn't receiving the update for OTA and when I talked to the rep he said to use Kies. Kies does say that it will update your phone but I had a problem connecting it. The only way the app will update is if you have your phone connected through USB. I tried and tried and tried but I couldn't get the computer to see my phone in the Kies program to sync it. It would connect through WiFi real quick.

Hi guys,
I recently took the latest OTA update and lost root, which is fine. My problem is, is that I cannot remove SuperSU and still have that annoying custom (with an unlocked padlock image) at start up. I did a factory reset thinking it would get rid of them, but it didn't. Can anyone help me out? DroidModderX suggested to flash a stock image in odin, but I don't know how to do that. I am still in the infant stages of doing stuff like this
Thanks!

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work.
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
My dad has a Skyrocket with all fully stock android Gingerbread. It is not rooted and he is having problems with the App Shazam.
It will run and work but when he goes to playback the songs he tagged he keeps getting this message "Sorry there was a network error"
I have tried on 4G and then I tried running it on WiFi only.
I have uninstalled it many time and reinstalled many times. I even tried different versions of the App. Could this be a problem with the Phone or is it a problem with Shazams sever?

He will not upgrade for two reasons.
1. He will not upgrade unless its an official upgrade from AT&T.
2. He's afraid he will lose his games, apps and data.
There are official updates he is way behind. He will lose nothing.

Go into settings, about phone. There should be a software upgrade option. It's been awhile since I've had the stock firmware on so if it's not there let us know. There are other, safe, ways to put it on too.
