Hey guys. I just got my brand new galaxy s2 and I'm loving it. But as of right now the latest software update is 2.3.6. Now I'm on 2.3.4 and I checked for a software update and it says I'm on the latest software.

You're not blind...
My understanding is that AT&T is rolling it out to in waves. Eventually you'll see the update. They just can't, and don't want to, put it out to every [email protected] at the same time.
From what I've read, if you're planning to root your phone, it's much easier and better supported to do it from an earlier version.

Saw all the roms in the development section talking about stock 2.3.6 and I'm like wtf? And yes I'm planning to root my phone but I want to experience it this way first. I love it. And its so fast

AT&T does this in case the update has a problem that missed their QA process.
I'm fairly certain they are rolling out the update fairly slowly - there were even rumors that it might have been pulled for a while. People getting the OTA have had a LOT of complaints.

The reason you see so many 2.3.6 based ROMs in development is because a few developers took a gamble - they guessed that the UCKK6 leak might be a final release that could go official, and they were right. We had access to a full UCKK6 2-3 weeks before anyone received an OTA.
Note that many of those ROMs are appearing to have a few issues:
1) Weird wifi compatibility issues not present in UCKH7
2) Bluetooth HID is broken - no mouse/keyboard pairing

Thanks bro. I appreciate that. Now I'm about to root using either super one click or the zedomax way and I just wanted to confirm this with you. When the Att update comes I just use your guide to flash your kernel that comes with stock recovery right? Then I'm done right and I can just apply the ota update regularly right? Thanks again

If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.
I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.

Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.

Lol. Yeah. I didn't start a flash at all. I used pda net to get the drivers and upon connecting it didn't work. So thanks. I think I'll use the zedomax way and then flash entropy's daily driver through clockwork mod. I can do that right?
That should work fine.
Hey guys. I have an over the air update available for the 2.3.6 and I accidentally pressed cancel and it says I have to wait another 20 hours to try again. Is there a way around this or am I stuck.
(PS. I rooted the phone and I'm on stock kernel so I should be fine in terms of keeping root)

I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.
I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.
So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

I've asked for help in the threads posted about the OTA update and I cannot get the help I need. I've seen people post similar questions that I have and they are largely ignored. I had to stay away from the forums because I was getting so damn angry.
I have root and I have S-Off. I have not flashed any ROMs on this phone. I want to apply the OTA update but I do not know how to do that.
There's mentions of flashing firmware, radios, PRIs, PRLs, ROMs, Deoxed, Oxeded, hboot, bootloader, recovery, TWRP, etc. All of that across multiple threads does not compute well in my head.
I've read a lot and I am not sure what to do. Can someone please help me out? I will be forever grateful. I could send you a case for your phone for helping me. I promise I am not being lazy. I'm just not getting it.
If you're rooted and you have S-Off, you should have TWRP. First verify that by booting into the bootloader (Power + Vol Down) and going to Recovery.
Once in TWRP, do a backup. Backup everything. This way if something goes wrong you can restore your previous ROM.
Next download this: http://d-h.st/d2a
It's the firmware zip, courtesy of Haus. Rename the file to remove all of the stuff after PJ85IMG. Then put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan for a zip and find it, and ask you if you want to update. This step is optional; you can flash new 1.22 ROMs without the new firmware.
After flashing that through bootloader, you can choose a 1.22 ROM that looks good to you, and download it. Boot back into TWRP, do a factory reset and wipe System, and then install the ROM. If you download it to your external SD card (in other words, an SD card you put in yourself), you'll have to mount it by going to Mounts and choosing external SD. That way you'll be able to access files on it.
To install the ROM after wiping, just hit Install from the main menu of TWRP and navigate to the location of the ROM zip you downloaded. Install it and reboot, and there you have it, you're on the new firmware and using a ROM with the new fixes in it!
The firmware zip is optional, but recommended. If you aren't comfortable flashing it, don't bother.

I would personally recommend staying away from that method. As a rooted user you should never accept an ota. Doing it that way might work this time, but in the future there's no guarantee you won't lose s-off and never be able to get it again

I know "never OTA" is your and some other people's mantra, but being able to do this is one of the benefits of S-off. I agree it is possible they could turn you back to S-ON in a future OTA (maybe...), but since it works for this current update, I don't think you should be dissuaded if you don't want to completely wipe your phone.

My man.
Exactly.
Just look at all of the people who show up on here going "Oh crap I took the OTA and now I can't get S-OFF"! The fact of the matter is, people don't check here before taking the OTA. If they look here and see that thread that says to just put on teh stock recovery and you're A-OK, thats what they'll do from then on.
When it happens, I'm just going to sit back and say "toldya so"... and let everyone else deal with the support. Until then, I'm going to keep preaching that you should never take an OTA if you are rooted or EVER thinking about rooting.
Sora, I looked at your instructions. I flashed ROMs before on my EVO 4G. That process I was comfortable with. Basically, the developer did all the work for me. I wanted to keep my phone stock for a while but I do want the updates.

It really comes down to this, if you're still having problems:
If you have recovery, just flash a ROM with the new base. Just like you'd do on your old Evo.

Ok, so I will have to flash a ROM. Do you think I can flash the deodexed version of this [ROM][STOCK] --- Stock Rooted 1.22.651.3 Odexed & DeOdexed (7/14/12)--- over my stock-from-Sprint setup?
I flashed TWRP. I'm going to update the firmware next with the file you pointed me to. I'm trying to find the info on clearing Google wallet.
...then the ROM.
Clearing GW data should say something about resetting it. It'll be in the app settings.
Seems like you've got it down now, I'm glad to say. You'll be able to flash that ROM without any issues.

Sora, how do you flash your ROMs? Do you use TWRP? or something like Goo Manager? I haven't used Goo Manager before, but I see it flashes ROMs.
I unrooted, installed stock ROM and downloaded the OTA ics but when I clicked OK to install it the phone rebooted, showed the unpacking symbol, progressed about 1/4 inch and then stopped with the error symbol.
Hitting the power button reboots into recovery, rebooted and went through the same thing.
I wondered if the download was faulty so next time I was in recovery I wiped and rebooted, re-downloaded the ICS update with the same results.
I thought I'd install the OTA ICS before trying to sell the phone but how can I? Anyone know what's wrong?
Temporary fix: Removed SIM, put SIM back in Galaxy S3 and all is well but that doesn't help the T'bolt get updated!
The ota won't apply to the stock Rom if you have any system apps removed.

I've done nothing to the stock ROM other than install it. When setup starts I selected English, skipped on ahead and went to setting, clicked stay awake, etc. and then downloaded the ROM.
NOTE: I unrooted, I can't remove any system apps can I?
Well my next suggestion would be to use the all-in-one tool to root,unlock and get s off. Flash the new radios, and then flash the official ics Rom in the development section.

I'll try to make this brief and to the point. I just got my Thunderbolt a few days ago and it was already rooted. My original goal was to flash it myself and put it on PagePlus. (I posted in another thread, but no one answered) I ran CDMA Workshop and I noticed that my T-bolt wasn't showing up in the ports under device manager. I then attempted to unroot it but that failed badly. I ran through a bunch of articles online and I figured out how to install customs roms. I thought that would fix the issue.
So far I've tried 4 different roms and they've all installed fine. It's just the reboot that's the issue now. When it turns on it goes to the white HTC screen and then it hangs on a blank screen until it reboots again. It's stuck in a loop. So if anyone knows what's wrong, I'd seriously be very thank full.
Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
I guess I didn't ask the question correctly. I dunno. I installed a few custom roms and and it gets stuck after the HTC screen. what can I do to fix it?
What recovery are you using?

thank you for replying. I'm using 4EXT Recovery Touch. I make sure I wipe / format everything first everytime.
When you boot into the bootloader does it list your radio version?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
yes, it's Radio - 1.48.00.930w_3
Here is the complete list:
MMECHA XD SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.05.0000
MICROP - /
Radio - 1.48.00.930w_3
eMMc - boot
Have you flashed either of the official ICS ota radios? I think you have the wrong baseband.

OK, so I went to this site and got the radio, renamed it, and then moved it over to the freshly formatted sd card. I ran bootloader, it's been at the HBOOT checking ... [PG05IMG.zip] screen for about 5 minutes now, I'm about to reboot and try again. I don't understaned the part about having s-off. I know it means security off, but I don't know how to turn it off.

edit: still hangs at the HBOOT checking ... [PG05IMG.zip] screen
Lol you're s on so you cant flash a radio. You need to run the revolutionary tool and get s off. Then flash the radio in the bootloader.

Is there another way to turn s-off? I can't get it to recognize my phone at all and the drivers are installed. I turn on the phone and then it goes go the htc logo and then to a blank screen. it hangs there for a few and then reboots into a loop. since s-on can't I just install a stock rom and be done with it?
Try flashing a GB ROM.

all the rom downloads I found are on Multiupload. Nothing I can use. do you have a link?
Yea I can't help you much there. I'm sure someone else might have a link. You could try infectedrom.com. I bet the link to eternity still works

I think all I need it to get s-off. I found a rom that is compatible with the radio I have. Is there another way to turn s-off with a bootloader or through recovery?
before this phone becomes a victim of Hulk Smash, does anyone else have any ideas?
So are you able to connect with ADB from a computer? The All-in-One tool might be able reset to factory, so you can start over. It can also walk you through Revolutionary/S-Off.

Note on Windows 7 with the latest version of the tool I linked above, I had to use Koush's Universal ADB Driver instead of the HTC one -- it kept causing my computer to blue screen/reboot.
If you're still looking for a GB ROM as someone mentioned a few posts back, the ThunderShed ROM on rootzwiki is very good.

I just installed Airborne-GoUI-B1, Is ThunderShed better in your opinion?
Did go airborne install OK and boot? If so you should try using the revolutionary tool to get s off now.

Oh, yeah. I'm way passed all the issues I had earlier. I'm back to rooted and running smoothly again. I installed airborne, but I really don't care too much for it. It seems real boring. I am considering going back to stock so I can use the legit ICS. All I have to do is just flash the update stock update file and I should be good to go right? I think it's on Android 2.??? and I'd rather have it on legit 4.???
Whatever you do don't take the update.... Just make sure you have ICS radios flashed before you flash the ICS ROMs.
