Okay thanks guys, so I need to flash back to stock recovery? How would I do that...do I need to unroot? Where can I find the stock recovery? Or is there a way to flash via cwm? Thanks in advanced...

Is there a list of changes in this upgrade? So far I have only heard people mention slower download speeds. Is it worth the trouble especially since ATT has pushed this update out so fast. Might be just features that benefit them and restrict us. Just wondering...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Ditto... I can also confirm I maintained root after OTA 2.3.6 update. I was rooted using SuperOneClick 2.2 and was running with stock recovery. Update went smooth as silk. GPS is crazy fast... found 22 satellites... locked 13... with 9ft accuracy within 5 seconds... and that was INDOORS!

If we wait, will there be an easy way to install this update? By we, I mean those of us that are rooted with CW Recovery installed.

if you care about internet speed, i suggest you not upgrade! after this 2.3.6 upgrade, my ping is always in the 500ms, where before i getting ping under 90ms!

and sometime when ping go does to 142ms, download speed is dropped to under 2mb! (i'm in NON lte area).

i thinking of flashing back to 2.3.5 !

Go to "Settings" and scroll to the bottom and underneath "About Phone" you should see "Software Update". Just follow the prompts.

Want to add that it's

actually IN the "About Phone" like it usually is, it is in the main settings list.

If that is where you already looked then I have no idea.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
I found the opposite to be true for me... on 2.3.5 my pings ranged from 96 to 169ms (5 tests)... after the OTA 2.3.6 update, I'm seeing 68-70ms (3 tests). Maybe the time of day influences traffic speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] erykz:
is it possible that the rogers software are not the same than at&t version.

Ok...looks like they are trying to force the update, i got a notification and it doesn't go away after i postpone lol.

what do you guys think about my situation? I'm stock rooted with the only change being Swype has beta instead of factory install. Looks like good chance I'll keep root but i don't know if it will affect Swype or screw anything up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
It has been posted in several threads. If you are rooted and have stock recovery u can do the update and not loose anything and retain root. If you are rooted and have cwm recovery you need to odin the stock tar do the update then reroot flashing cwm recovery tar and then install the super user zip in cwm

I just went through the ~20 minute process to revert to stock (unrooted) 2.3.5 via the thread linked below:

update details

Okay I did the update , I did a benchmark test and speed test before i did it tho,

here are my results

I live in Taylor, Mi and I don't have LTE.

Before -

Download - 11074

Upload - 1692

Ping- 87ms

Benchmark - 3157

After update

Download - 9859

Upload - 1714

ping - 78ms

Benchmark - 3094

So yes , speeds have dropped but they may increase I'll post if they do.

I know both those test are not reliable but I did them for the heck of it.

I'm doing a full run through to see what was changed.

* I have found that the brightness problem I was having is fixed, it was brightening and dimming every few seconds when I would put it on auto brightness . It's not doing that now. Thank Goodness

no other differences that I can tell. Oh theirs a modem change too.

I rooted 2.3.5 with superclick. Tried to update OTA, however it failed. I manually changed the time ahead 24hrs to get the prompt to update again. It allows me to check the update, however my phone is saying the software is up to date.

I checked and I'm still on 2.3.5, any idea what to do?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its not rooted . You may stilk have super user app on your phone but if u used odin to reaturn to stock u are not rooted. You need to click that link i gave you ...use odin to flash the cwm recovery.tar then boot into cwm and install the superuser .zip

Is it possible to recover stock recovery without reverting back to stock ROM? Seems like there would be a way to keep all settings, and just replace cwm recovery to stock, apply it's update then go back to cwm...

I have stock ROM used one click then installed cwm that's why I'm asking. It seems like the answer to this point is reflash entire stock ROM?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gheck911:
Ok, followed the instructions and yet I can't boot into recovery.

Flashed to stock with ODIN and did the update. Phone info shows I'm on 2.3.6. Used ODIN to flash recovery.tar over and it says it completed successfully. BUT, when I hold the volume and power button, it doesn't boot to recovery. I get a quick "Samsung" screen, then it just vibrates once over and over until I let go of the buttons. Then the phone just starts up normally.

Not my first rodeo, I've installed many ROMs in the past. Went over the instructions at least 10 times but don't know what went wrong.

Any ideas?!? :confused::confused::confused:

Cant update to 2.3.6

"Yea I'm in the US. When I change the date it recognizes it but then it says the software is up to date. Maybe I'll try another day. is there another way to apply it?"

Well, I went through the odin 1.85 procedure to unroot. Booted back up normally. It looked for an update but it returned with: Im updated to the latest firmware.

SO... I tried resetting to factory settings...everything erased.

Looked for an update and this time it returned (after 3 min) that the ATT servers were busy to try later. I changed my time ahead 24 hours and tried again. It is still saying I am updated to the latest software. Note, if I keep trying to search for an update, I have to set my time an additional 24 hrs... so now the 2nd time I have to push it ahead 48hrs, the 3rd- 72hrs, etc. But everytime it comes back with the same, that I have the latest firmware.

Bottom line: I guess it doesn't really want me to update :(

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dranakin:
Not the person you're responding to, but I'm on stock recovery (just rooted) and the update doesn't work. Says it was interrupted each time I try.

Every time someone posts in this thread that an update is out, AT&T pulls it before I can get an official update. Not that I would normally care much, the devs here on XDA always have improved roms based on these updates pretty quickly, but I'm trying to sell this phone without rooting it.

I'm thinking a potential buyer will see it as having been "messed with" and worth less money if it's been rooted (because most buyers on ebay don't know the benefits of rooting and installing custom roms)...

Yesterday I missed a call because screen didn't respond on touch, I was blaming on tithering (which by the way had rebooted phone twice today), but today I've noticed when this happens and I unplug the phone, it instantaniosly fixes the screen (and buttons as well), plugging it back in, freezes it. Was playing with it for a minute just to make sure..

Anyone experiencing anything like this?

P.S.

Installed "CPU Guage" which shows cpu load in real time in tasks bar, I can see the numbers changes but nothing above 30%, so it wasn't CPU overload

I don't have this problem all the time either, it happened only twice in two days. Just now checked it again - no problem whatsoever...

Perhaps if we trace what is running and/or what was running before this happens, we could figure something out.

Today I was using pandora, sportypal (which by the way consumes 40% cpu at times, on Atrix 4G never had this problem) and then after these two apps where closed I used mobile hotspot.

On background two apps are always running: battery cyrlce and nettraffic (there are many more apps started but they seems to be inactive, like skype which doesn't log me in automatically)
