AT&T's description

Summary Description:

* Effective October 25, 2012, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be available to AT&T customers via Wi-Fi only for those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (OS 4.04), which is still available via Sideload.

Software Update Includes:

* Google applications such as Gmail, Maps, Play Books, etc., may be updated to the newer versions.

* Fixes a problem that impairs users from being able to download the following pre-loaded AT&T applications: Kindle, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Locker, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, U-verse Live TV, myAT&T, and Messages.

o Currently when customers launch one of these applications they are connected to the Google Play storefront, but they are not given the option to download the application.

Software Download/Update Instructions:

Network Initiated Software Update

Upon receipt of the Software Update notification, the customer should select Continue and follow the simple steps to download and install the new software. Customers will also have the option to postpone the update for 1, 4, or 8 hours. Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will receive this FOTA message.

1. Tap "Continue"

2. After the software is downloaded, Tap "Install now"

3. After the software is installed, the phone will re-start automatically

4. The phone is now upgraded to Baseband version I727UCLI3.

Device Initiated Software Update

Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to pull this software update from the phone.

1. Tap "Settings" icon

2. Tap "About Device"

3. Tap "Software Update"

4. Tap "Check for Updates"

* A message will display. "Software update process will not delete any personal data on your phone. Check the AT&T server for new software update?"

5. Tap OK

* A message will display. "A new software update from AT&T is available for your phone. This update will occur over Wi-Fi. Please make sure to stay within the Wi-Fi coverage area while the download takes place. This could take several minutes."

6. Tap Continue

* The device will automatically restart once the new software has successfully downloaded.

* Status Message: "The software has been successfully installed. Your phone is now ready for use."

7. Tap OK

The device must have an active SIM card installed to accept the update. Ensuring the device battery is charged to at least 50% is recommended for a successful software installation. The software update is available over Wi-Fi only.

Software Version Verification:

1. Tap Applications icon from Home Screen

2. Tap Settings icon

3. Tap About phone. If the Baseband version reads I727UCLI3 the device has the software update.

Can this be done from a completely stock phone?.. my gf is downloading the update right now. I could get it if I knew how lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
There should be tons of posts in all the previous update threads explaining how to dump it. Just gotta find em. I don't know off-hand but I'm sure many others do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] purdone:
Upon reboot mine goes to a recovery screen. When I select "reboot" it boots up and informs me that the update has failed. I am rooted and have a custom recovery manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
If the same rules apply for a successfuly OTA update, (1) you must be on ICS stock ROM, and (2) stock recovery; (3) no apps frozen or debloated to get the update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DrDoctor:
Tried to reboot, and booted into ClockworkMod. Can't update. Fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You have to be stock. Stock recovery.

Is there a way to restore?

Thanks just flashed this. Haven't test call quality or anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Can you see if it changed your baseband version under about phone? I flashed it on my phone to make sure it wasn't a brick waiting to happen but I'm already on UCLI3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nahrah:
Sure, screenshot provided, prior modem was uclf6.

I'll give this radio some time, but right now it seems my signal reception decreased compared to the I757 radio. Thank you though. Always love new things to try out. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Made no difference in signal strength.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sully6789:
It did for me. This is sitting outside on my front porch. No service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I think this modem might be a doozie, all of the people that tested it have decreased data speeds......look out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] holeindalip:
This is on HSDPA+ sorry no lte in my area during peak hours its not too bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
better signal for me in new UCLI3 , no LTE BTW...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quordandis:
So, theoretically, if I flash this with my clockwordmod recovery, I won't be getting the update message from Device manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
You cant update on any custom recovery..you have to be bone stock unrooted with stock recovery in your phone to have the ota installed...I had to odin uclf6 from scratch then immediately got the notification to the update...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
I flashed it through CWM. I never got the update message, but I figured upgrading the baseband is never a bad thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geekygirl74:
I haven't noticed any decreased speed of 4G speeds, nor any decrease when using the phone as a hot spot. What I have noticed is that hang ups and freezes that happened after the ICS update all seem to be fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quordandis:
Ok, first of all, I flashed the zipfile that cdshepherd possted in clockworkmod recovery.....let's not be too quick to shoot people down.

Secondly, the modem flashed properly, and I'm not noticing much difference in the phone, however, since I only flashed the baseband, my os version is still 4.0.4 and not 4.1.2 so the update still insists on downloading and installing (which it obviously won't be able to do successfully since I have a custom recovery). Any way to generate a flashable zip of this update that will work in clockworkmod? This update message is beyond harrassing! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] StolenVW:
Don't think you can make a update.zip for this the ota update is delta files witch are pretty much patch files....the update program goes through reading the patch file witch tells it what file to edit and what line in that file to change to the new code
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quordandis:
That is so totally annoying....so basically I have to go back to stock recovery via odin, run the update, then odin clockworkmod recovery back? Anyone have links to original odin recovery? And an odin'able clockworkmod recovery? I seemed to have missplaced them...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
The update that att pushed wasn't 4.1.2:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quordandis:
Thanks....Went back to stock recovery. Update failed. Not sure what else to do at this point.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
System has to be “fully“ stock...If you're dye hard about the update , Odin uclf6 then hit check for update in the phone..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
First, you have to understand that you have to be fully stock to take ota' s. Then you have to go back to full stock. Then you can waste your time and take this dumb update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Vfan23:
It changed from HSPA:11 to HSPAD.15

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Last time, before flashing RemICS UX, I did a backup on the ROM that I was using which is Bionic 2 ROM. I used CWM version 6 when backing it up. Then I made a copy of "backup" and "blobs" to my PC. I then tried to restore the Bionic 2 ROM after playing with RemICS UX but MD5 mismatched. Anyone knows why? :(
[Android General] bagpussnz:
Hi,

My daughter has one of these phones running 2.2.1 - she is having problems with bluetooth freezing, and I wondered if she can upgrade to gingerbread (it might help).

Does anyone know where to find some roms which will work on a NZ phone?

I see roms for just about every other country in sam firmware dot com - can I use one of them?

Cheers,

Ian.

Apparently, there is no New Zealand specific model. Check this page.

Try an australian version...

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

Or look for a custom rom in the official thread. (Search for your device in the top right corner of the webpage
[Android General] Evoium:
just be sure of the correct model of your phone for example i bought my tablet from auckland but i got a imported tablet so just be sure man

yea about that... it doesnt really matter as long as the rom is coded for the hardware that is in your device such as my galaxy tablet and mini they both are running uk roms :D

yea i have also hard bricked my mini and then bought it back to life so gl :D

so bro go for gold
[Android General] :
failed installation

So I tried installing this on a friends galaxy mini in NZ but the recovery said it couldnt mount the data or internal.. even when doing a factory reset. Any ideas? Im thinking the sd card needs to be formated to FAT, that might be the problem. Does anyone know where I could find a better recovery and how to install it? Sorry for all the questions..
[General Questions and Answers] fryck:
Currently, my wife and I have VZW, and I am growing tired of pay their exorbitant fees and terms that change with their whim. I have been looking at plans. I thought that Straight Talk through either AT&T or T-Mobile might be a viable option, but after reading many horror stories about throttling and bad customer service, that is no longer a possibility. I stumbled across the T-mobile site value plan, where if you bring your own phone you can get their value plan, which is comparable to Straight Talk. How can I find out how well coverage will be in my area? Sure I can look at their coverage maps, but can I really believe it?

Can i use Photoshop

upload the image to gallery from sdcard

then use it as background?

is it possibile to change background when i change page?
[Acer Iconia A500] JLKnolla:
There should be a "set image as" option from the gallery to do the first (under settings/options) - some galleries will ask if you want to set it as wallpaper if you longtap the image from the gallery.

On latest 4.3 ROMS you can set the lock page wallpaper to be different than the standard, but not usually switchable from one home page to the next that I know of.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanrule:
Does anyone know of a text message application for Android that will be non-intrucive. I am currently using Handscent SMS. It sucks when I am playing a game or watching a youtube video and someone sends me a message. It stops the game or pauses youtube.

My friend let me use his iphone for a few minutes the other day and I really like the way text messaging shows up. If in a game or watching a youtube video it just shows up at the top of the screen. The game and youtube video would continue without pausing. Then you can decide if you want to reply to the message or not.

Anyone know of any apps that have this sort of functionality?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeylanHalfdan:
How exactly is it pausing your games? I use handcent and it never paused anything. It just shows up at the top in my status bar.

Do you have the popup feature enabled?

[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Hello everyone,

First of all, I am really sorry if this is a double post ( It probably is). I have honestly tried to search a response in already existing posts and I have found that some people seem to have experienced similar issues. However, being a total newbie in development, not really understanding the whole logical structure, I was unable to efficiently transfer existing responses to my problem. Thus, if somewhere exactly the same problem was already discussed I would be glad to read the thread. In opposite, similar threads will probably not help such an ignorant as I am.

That's said, here is the problem :

I have a HTC incredible S with the following status :

Alpharev

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.09.1000

RADIO-38.02.01.11_M

eMMC - boot

february 11 2011.....

Android 2.2.1

As the pro's have already understood I have used the Alpharev method to switch my phone into "S-OFF" and root it around a year ago. As far as I remember I haven't done anything more. If I'm using the words right, no flash of recovery partition or anything of this kind. The phone is all right - no major issues.

Recently I have tried to update the phone, finally accepting the suggestion which was annoying me for several months. I have just accepted the update to Android 2.3 using OTA (I hope to use this right, I mean that the phone had downloaded the update itself, without pc or anything else).

Unfortunately the update failed ( blocked with a black background, the phone in the middle and a red triangle on the top right corner of the phone). After waiting for a very long time, I have removed the battery and put it back - everything is ok. (no update off course)

So the questions :

1. Is it theoretically possible to use official updates while being rooted? I don't really have time to play with different ROMs, an official ROM with root access is enough for me.

1.1 If yes, how?

2. If no, can I unroot it, update it and root it again in order to have the last official update with root?

2.1 If no, I suppose that I have to use "Custom ROMs". Could you please give me a link with the most up to date method to install Custom ROMS and may be an advice of a really STABLE one?

3. What options I haven't thought about?

Once again, I understand that all this was for sure already discussed, but I was probably unable to understand it.

Thanks a lot for all future responses!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The AlphaRevX S-OFF HBOOT is preventing the OTA from getting applied successfully.

You are better off keeping S-OFF and using custom ROMs. You just need to install a custom recovery such as 4EXT Touch or ClockworkMod in order to flash custom Roms.
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Thanks,

so:

1.NO

1.1 N/A

2 Probably yes, but inefficient/difficult

2.1 That's the way to go.

That's said, the phone is S-OFF, Rooted, and now I need to install custom recovery... hmmmm, where can i learn more about? Which one do you advice?

Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
One more, not directly related.

Is it better to keep the current version of alpharev and hboot or is it better and possible to somehow update those parameters before installing the custom recovery?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I personally like 4EXT Touch recovery. It should be available in the Android Market/PlayStore or you can check out the link in my signature.

As for the AlphaRevX HBOOT, I would just keep it installed.
[HTC Incredible S] SuperTraxer:
Thank you very much! Have just installed this! Will now try with ROMs! Thank you :)

[Galaxy Note II General] theoilman:
will the N7100 or the N7105 work on Tmobile or AT&T's 4G? and will it work on Tmobile's HSPA+?
[Galaxy Note II General] YoungAceAtlanta:
No LTE on international version.

You can get H+ on AT&T I know.. Not sure about tmo
[Galaxy Note II General] mazdamiata210:
So what you're saying is there is no LTE chip in the international version, correct?
[Galaxy Note II General] nmhung100:
I'm using the international one on the AT&T. Just have the H+ only but speed is good.
[Galaxy Note II General] ericshmerick:
Yep. I was contemplating selling mine and getting the LTE version (on contract) but HSPA+ is fast enough for Netflix in HD. Fast enough for me! Don't need the carrier bloat, contract extension and battery reduction.
[Galaxy Note II General] doubledragon:
I'm getting 5-8 Mbps down and 750-1,000 kbps up on Tmo in NYC with my N2.
[Galaxy Note II General] theoilman:
so what would you guys say? should I go for the Tmo version for LTE or international and skip the carrier bloat? I only have a 3G phone right now, is the increase in speed of LTE over HSPA+ a big enough deal? also will the international version work on Tmo HSPA+ or only on AT&T?
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
U should consider on battery consumption..i heard lte using high consumption battery..better ask community from att for note 2 thread it self..
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Uhh... if you want to use it on T-Mobile expect 2G speeds unless you're in an area where they've started or finished the 1900 MHz refarm (even if they do, it'll be pretty much limited to a city or county, but anywhere else you won't get 3G/HSPA speeds at all)

here's a link to a website with reported sightings of 1900MHz refarm on T-Mobile:

http://www.airportal.de/

Also, the T-Mobile version of the Note II has support for AT&T HSPA as its HSPA radio is a pentaband (so it'll work pretty much everywhere else on HSPA), also the radio of the T-Mobile version is DC-HSPA, or more commonly known as HSPA 42mbps whereas the Internaltional and AT&T versions have HSPA radios with support for only 21mbps. The T-Mobile version also has LTE bands for AT&T and the eventual T-Mobile LTE network, but is currently DISABLED in the software, so we'll have to wait to get that unlocked (I also heard there'll be requirement of a LTE SIM card, but I can't say that for a fact yet).

In essence, if you're going to spend ~$700, get the T-Mobile one, at least you'll have warranty, better signal on HSPA, LTE support later for T-Mobile and AT&T, and as a result, you'll get a better resale value when its time.
[Galaxy Note II General] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm using an unlocked TMIB on at&t and there's no LTE
[Galaxy Note II General] theoilman:
I wonder if that's because it lacks the right bands or just because it's disabled in the software?
[Galaxy Note II General] theoilman:
thanks for the info! I'll prob get the tmobile version after all. I am in a refarm area according to your link, but I wouldn't want to be restricted to my area and lose good speeds when I drive somewhere else.
