Android 4.0.4 for the Skyrocket available via Kies?

[Bla1ze]

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 here. Anyone got it yet, if so how is it running?

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]

It worked! ICS is up and running!

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

Can you confirm which version you end up with after the update?

I am running the latest leak, here is my info.

Just want to see if I should force this update to my phone or not.

Thanks!

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).

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.

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

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

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

 

[misterbiscuit]

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

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

Can you please give a screen cap?

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)
