Android 4.0.4 for the Skyrocket available via Kies?

**Chris Parsons** · 07-09-2012, 01:27 PM

Looks like some folks are pulling down Android 4.0.4 along with a Kies update that makes Kies work on the Skyrocket.. See here as well as . Anyone got it yet, if so how is it running?

**VeganRyan** · 07-09-2012, 01:38 PM

When I opened the Kies desktop software, I was offered a Kies software update. After updating, the program restarted and I was immediately notified of a firmware upgrade for my Skyrocket.

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

It's installing now... I'll let you know how it goes...

**VeganRyan** · 07-09-2012, 01:45 PM

It worked! ICS is up and running!

**misterbiscuit** · 07-09-2012, 02:02 PM

Downloading Kies now...

For some reason I will instal the new kies and then after it boots back up it asks me to install the new version over again happened 3 times already

Sawweeet! Finally. Hopefully it will be bug free. Someone needs to confirm that there are no crazy battery bugs or anything (wife has a SGSII).

**misterbiscuit** · 07-09-2012, 02:28 PM

Upgrade in progress. Kies calls it "PDA:LF6 / PHONE:LF6 / CSC:LF6 (ATT)".

I am curious to hear back on exactly which build it is. I am running the one I mentioned just above your post... UCLF5.

What I can say about that personally (I know others have had some issue) is that the phone has NEVER worked better than it does now. I think the 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 had deep sleep issues as my battery life was horrible. I was able to go from 6:00AM to 10:45PM and then it beeped at the 15% mark and told me to charge.. prior to that I would have been lucky to get to 4 or 5 PM. That is my specific usage but all that I have to go on, it is so much better.

BTW Kies shows my device at... PDA:LF5 / Phone:LF5 / CSC:LF5 (ATT)

I tried this on three different Windows 7 64-bit machines. On two of the machines, I ran Kies and got the update. I plugged my phone into USB and still it won't connect. On the third machine, I completely uninstalled the Samsung drivers and Kies and rebooted. Then I re-installed Kies. It came up and ran and prompted me to install the update. After I installed the update, when I go to run Kies, it comes up briefly as a task, but never displays a window, and then exits. I don't know what is happening.

LF6!! Dangit... alright, we will have to compare notes and see what has changed. I am so happy with the leak #3 that I am hesitant to flash to this build unless there is something significant corrected.

**misterbiscuit** · 07-09-2012, 02:40 PM

I'll have the version that the phone itself shows shortly. The phone says it is "optimizing applications" right now.

**misterbiscuit** · 07-09-2012, 02:46 PM

I'm up and running!

Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I727UCLF6
Kernel version: 3.0.8
Build number: IMM76D.UCLF6

**gildonian** · 07-09-2012, 02:49 PM

Grats!!! Thanks for the info... wow they are very close builds.

Hmm, what to do, what to do? 8)

**misterbiscuit** · 07-09-2012, 02:51 PM

Oooh, there's an option to enable NFC in the settings!

**area223** · 07-09-2012, 02:56 PM

Should I go to this official build or stay on the latest leaked one? I'm having no problems with UCLF5.

Hehe, I am just going to have Kies "emergency update" my phone. So it will blow it out..again... but I have the setup process down now. 8)

I'll post back with how my move from leak #3 (UCLF5) to the official UCLF6 goes. I want to be stock as can be. I can tell you how I went about it if you are in the same boat as me.. Flashed the leak but want to go stock.

It is flashing LF6 now! 8)

**skeeuphill** · 07-09-2012, 03:08 PM

Anyone else having problems with the stock Email app? I can't connect my gmail or POP3 acct.

**brkaras** · 07-09-2012, 03:09 PM

I'm not a nube but this is my first Android. I have UCLF5 on my phone but do I have to go back to gingerbread before I do this update? Don't want to brick my phone and I like the leak I have now

Okay, totally not what I was expecting. The emergency flash didn't wipe out my data. It just took the phone to UCLF6, but all of my settings remain. It just added back in the AT&T Bloat which I will need to remove again, the simple ones that they let you uninstall that is.

Confirmed via Kies.. running LF6 now! Yay, back on stock!

That was easy.
