Hi all,

Wanted to upload update file but after downloading and postponing used root explorer to check cache folder and the only new files are under /cache/fota and are fota.status (64 bytes) load_1202212141.log (347 bytes) and update_1202212141.log (2.85 K). Any other ideas on where to look for update file? Chris

I tried 3 times to manually download the update and install and it failed at 75% on the white update screen each time.

Then on my way home, I got a notification saying that the Device Manager was downloading something (didn't manually search for software updates this time). It then said that the update could be installed now or later, so I chose now and it again failed at 75% on the update screen.

So essentially, four tries and four failed attempts.

Is it not being on the latest build that is causing the update failures or is it having CWM installed?

IMO the main idea was to remove carrier IQ (hopefully). And you don't have to return to stock. Just make a nandroid and flash the zip. It will not give you the new baseband though. If you don't like it restore your nandroid and continue on. That's the beauty of a nandroid. I don't really care for stock so as soon as I get this baseband thing figured out ill probably be flashing on LOL :)

I just installed the update; it went without a hitch. Totally stock Skyrocket. I didn't look for the update, it started downloading all on it's own. When it asked if I wanted to install, I postponed. Got home, went to software update in settings, hit continue. It did it's thing and now I have 2.3.6

My lockscreen did not change. Interesting. Maybe because I have WidgetLocker installed? But before WidgetLocker starts, it's still the old lockscreen. A few cosmetic changes. The screen that comes up when you get a call is slightly different.

Biggest change: Google voice search and voice recognition now work when you have used Bluetooth. Before, if I used Bluetooth, voice recognition no longer "heard" what I was saying until I had a voice call and hung up. If I used BT between calls, google voice search was dead until the next time I hung up from a call. (All voice recognition in fact.) So far, that seems to be fixed. That's actually a big deal for me. Very cool!

"It was brought to my attention that there really isn't a clear explanation anywhere (as far as I know) on how to capture an OTA update file once you've downloaded it (for backup and/or testing purposes of course). So I've decided to write up this brief and simple "How to guide".

1. You need a rooted device 2. You'll need to download and install root explorer or Super Manager 3. Go ahead and download the OTA update BUT once downloaded DO NOT INSTALL yet, hit your back button or simply tap install later. 4. Open root explorer and navigate to the folder that says cache. 5. You'll see the OTA update file in there tap and hold then select copy. 6. Paste file to your external sd card (from there you'll be able to move it to your PC or where ever. 7. Since you have now successfully made a copy of your update (purley for backup purposes of course) navigate to your settings>about phone>system update and this will bring back the option to install the update".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I've read every post in this thread. I don't think rooting is a factor. There have been some people who are stock rom rooted who did the OTA update just fine. And there have been some people who are not rooted who weren't able to do OTA. Then there was one person, who, I'm guessing went back to stock because OTA failed, who got it to work.

Maybe it has something to do with people who have tried to remove CIQ in the past. Just a thought.
