Official ICS for Skyrocket

[FredOak3]

Running 2.3.6 and Kies sees my phone but get the not able to do firmware update error...so it is going to be interesting on how they will deliver the update...OTA? or will it require a Kies update?

Either way I have to think it is delayed for a couple reasons...SG III sales, making sure not to screw up the LTE and AT&T is always last...remember the Captivate delays!!

I am unable to update via Kies as well. It tells me my device is unable to update the firmware via Kies.

What's the point of the upgrade if it's unavailable?

Am I missing something? How would it be possible to update the firmware to 4.0 if it's not been released for the Skyrocket yet? It seems only logical that it's unable to update the device's firmware currently. If it's going to be an upgrade via Kies, perhaps the error message will no longer occur...That being said, I find it ridiculous to have to go through Kies. Correct me if I'm wrong, weren't we originally promised an OTA update?

It has to be an OTA update. Kies on 2.3.6 just won't update the device. I downgraded mine from stock 2.3.6 to stock 2.3.5 and Kies simply told me no update available. I ended up just doing the OTA back to 2.3.6 until ICS is released.

Do you think they will give us a heads up date to when it will be released or just throw it out there like they did with the original s2?

As frustrating as the wait is, I still have a phone that has far exceeded my expectations in every way with the exception of the ics delays. I have many years in top level retail management and one of the lessons I have drilled into the head of every employee of mine is to never commit the retail sin of "overpromising and underdelivering". In order to retain customers, their expectations should not be merely met, but exceeded. Samsung, Google,
and AT&T have some making up to do in my opinion. That being said, this forum is first rate and having access to it has already proven indispensable. Thank you to all that make this forum what it is.

I just replaced the leadek 4.0.3 from AT&T with the official 4.0.4 from Rogers. With many little tweaks, the latter's UI is much better and user intuitive!

My friend got the Original s2 update on Friday, so I would assume hat the update would be sometime this month.

So, to be sure I understand it, if I have a SkyRocket, then I need to do the update, if it let's me, via Kies, right?

Also, is there a comparison table or list online that tells me the differences between GB and ICS?

Thanks!!

This reflects how I'm feeling, but I'm seeing many friends and colleagues with ICS and am anxious to receive this update. Personally I'm comfortable with root, but don't see the need for any reason except the leaked update sounds great.

In my mind I'm setting a deadline in the next few weeks for AT&T to get their stuff together and post an ICS update for the Skyrocket. If nothing occurs then I'll go back to rooting and can live without may of the Samsung goodies.

From the message left be by AT&T, they don't update the phone firmware & OS. Samsung does that. I have the I727 skyrocket. The ICS update for that phone from what AT&T is saying, has to come via Samsu

In order for that to happen, Samsung will have to update Kies 1st.

So, even though AT&T pledged to all GSK2 buyers back in December when we bought the phones that we'd get the ICS UPDATE 1st qtr. 2012, we are all still waiting for Samsung to get their act together & get the update out to all of us.

i tried to use the leaked updates fro the skyrocket to update my phone and i connected it to odin and clicked start then it said pass after like 2 seconds and now my phone won't switch on or work or even connect to kies

on the top right of my phone in small :
ODIN MODE

i tried connecting my phone to kies but it wasn't recognized kies kept saying connected for like 1 hour and still didn't connect


ANY IDEAS PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP SO MUCH!

In my opinion I still see the skyrocket as one of at&t's flagship phones I don't understand why we haven't gotten ics. In At&T the order goes (in their mind)
1.IPhone 4s
2. IPhone 4
3. IPhone 3gs
4. What they will eat for dinner.
5. Wondering about the next time they will take a .
6. HTC One X
7. Original galaxy s2
8. Skyrocket

Do not close kies
Unplug phone and pull battery
Put battery back in and hold volume+ and power button at the same time and then plug phone in to go to download mode and try again
