Samsung Skyrocket (i727) Gingerbread Update

[redhot4400]

is that possible to get the update outside USA? it should be available, because The Skyrocket is only from AT&T!!

I am outside the US right now (with my unlocked I727) and I was able to receive the UCLA3 Gingerbread  2.3.6 update over wifi before AT&T pulled it.  It didn't break anything my phone other than the screen swipe and scrolling wallpaper.  I hope ICS will be released the same way.

was the UCLA3 Gingerbread 2.3.6 update done outside USA via WiFi other than AT&T network?
Thanx in Advance

To install the Gingerbread (UCLA3) update, Wi-Fi is needed, yes.

Posted from my iPhone 4S on AT&T, the nation's fastest 4G network.

Thanx for your reply. I'll check it, if the Gingerbread (UCLA3) update is done via WiFi outside usa in Skyrocket.

To install the Gingerbread (UCLA3) update, i tired via WiFi several times from outside usa. But it was not done. i examined the WiFi speed also, that is fine.  

Thanx in Advance

I believe the UCLA3 2.3.6 update for the I727 was pulled from the update server by At&t within a couple weeks of its release due to some customers experiencing problems with the firmware update.

The update can be downloaded over any Wi-Fi network. I did it on my skyrocket with no SIM card in it at the time a while ago

Probably not the best place to ask this - but my update worked fine.  I can now "reply all" to MMS messages.  However - is there any way to add a subject to an MMS?

[redhot4400]

i tried via wifi about the Gingerbread version 2.3.6 in skyrocket. but it shows my phone is up to date in Gingerbread version 2.3.5 I think AT&T pulled out their Gingerbread version 2.3.6 update. Lets see if AT&T are going to upload some new update for skyrocket!!
Thanx in Advance

Again AT&T from AT&Tfacebook wrote that the ICS update will be released in the coming months. You can read all about it here:
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=22620&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=34101&mapcode=consumer
I checked the URL n saw that the announcement was announced on March 22, 2012. There written HTC Vivid™ will be the first U.S. smartphone to receive Ice Cream Sandwich as an update and the first to be issued by a wireless carrier. It will be followed by several other AT&T devices in the coming months. Now its June 2012. Coming months is not minimum satisfactory date or time frame
Thanx in Advance
