Is it true that the official ICS for the Skyrocket is out via Kies? I don't want to go through all the trouble to figure out how to update using Kies with SpoofFW (which isn't working, no Product Code) and all that if it's not really out.
But if it is out, is it somewhere that I can install it using Odin? I'm not able to find it anywhere.
I've not tried it, but will Kies work if I flash 2.3.5? It's saying my phone isn't supported as it is. I'm guessing because it's rooted.
Suggestions? I'm running Embryo 4.0.4 right now and it's pretty good but I wanted to check out the official release.
No

It is not out yet, but it is likely that it will be pushed out by Kies because that's how the I777 was updated. Don't stop checking if you got an unrooted 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.
It was fot Rogers (Canada)
Do anyone have idea of when will come the AT&T ISC? theres already Jellybean in the way

I looked at some threads and came across old stuff. I find stuff on the web that says it's out, but I don't feel like reverting back to an old version of droid just to check.
Here's a couple of places I've found that says it's out.

But I may be mistaken here. Unless there's a difference between the Skyrocket and the standard S2. I thought the only difference was the clock speed. I thought the ROMs I have installed were for the S2 and Skyrocket. Hmmm
It isnt out for the Skyrocket yet just the Galaxy S II.. we are still unaware when and how the update will be done :/

I could have sworn that someone asked awhile back about this Chainfire app ... must have been before the forums got split up by carrier.
Anyone try this yet? I'm curious - as we're unlocked now - whether we can carry ODIN with us like the rest of the SIII population.

It might just not be compatable because the developer still assumes we have a locked BL. Now thats its unlocked like the rest of the varients it might just work.

I know Chainfire just got back from an extended vacation ... he's probably very busy.
I'm tempted to give it a try, though $4.99 is a bit steep for a program that may not work with our phones.
I'll put a link to the xDa thread on Mobile ODIN in my OP.

I spent the better part of yesterday testing 3.1 for Chainfire ... it is sweet.
Mobile ODIN Pro will actually take bone stock firmware (like an OTA), root it and inject SuperSU before flashing it to your phone.
Look for a release anytime now ...

They actually have to push it fast because the smartwatch doesn't run without it. It needs Bluetooth 4.0 which android 4.3 supports.

Well, not everyone got the update since Samsung suspended the new update due the issue that the update has. So we hope the best to come.
Do you mind if I ask why did you update your phone?
There is some root methods as they have been talked about, although its questionable if they are truly malware or not. But many people on the VZW S4 side have used it including these cleanup tools to remove any traces of the supposedly malware side. So its upto you to decide if you want to use that method or not. That's about all we can say here on this as we cannot link to those methods right now as the moderation team is trying to evaluate if those root methods are malware or not.

I doubt that the new TW will look much different than it does now. And I'm sure that when official 4.4 makes its way to our device it'll be ruined in some way by Samsung. There are a lot of things I like about TW but pure AOSP KitKat is going to win every time

There's still some things broken in CM 10.2 and the other 4.4 ROMs that are being worked on, which is why I still use 4.3 at the moment. Source coding should make it easy to fix those issues, and fully functional ROMs should come from it.
But I could be wrong, that's just my experience from other phones and other android versions. And what Samsung released today may not even be the same kind of source coding that I'm thinking of.

When the 4.4 GPE update hits, it'll be easily converted to work on all carrier S4's based off the Snapdragon 600. The international version, however, is a completely different story.

No, that OTA is for the Google Play Edition S4. Not the i337 or any other i337X phone.
But if you have a recovery installed on your i337X, then you can install a ported version of this OTA.
I doubt i337X will see KitKat OTA official for 3-4 more months.

Yes, the reason why I posted this was for your mentioned reason, custom recovery installs. I wasn't referring to any 4.4 based TW OTAs from the carriers.
