I plugged my phone in and it said an update was available.


I checked for an Over The air and nothing, then I plugged it into
my PC and launched Kies, and it showed an update was available.

Ran the update and it is ICS 4.0.3

If I would have been smart I would have taken screen shots of how
I had my screens, now I have to try and remember how I had them.


Please try to keep this thread on topic

Yep just saw that it is official. Cool. To bad it isn't 4.0.4 though.

Do you loose root and CWM after the update? Otherwise I would wait for a custom ROM that has it all and is bloat ware free.

It worked for me. Downloaded via Kies. I'm wondering if the battery life will get better with ICS

Don't worry fellas after the update your phones will look exactly like they do now with all the Samsung and AT&T bloat, a hint of lag and worse battery life.

    The thing is...if someone posts crap like this in a CM9 thread or an AOKP thread they get flamed to death and told to stop or face getting banned.

    Stop with the negative posts just because it is something that Samsung made. After all, didn't they make your f*cking phone? Judging by the logo on my phone - they did make mine. OMG - GO BURN THE PHONE SINCE SAMSUNG MADE IT!! Get one made by AOKP!!!!1111

    This thread is for people who are interested in using this official release. If you're not interested in using this release, then don't post here.

    I promise that you will not be asked any questions about how to fix *anything*.... and that flashing something custom will only bring its own set of issues....but oh those are caused by Samsung too right?

    Can't wait for all the.... "Help! I downloaded the official ics release and now my phone is doing this......" threads. Sorry cant help you. Flash something custom. Hehe...:D

    Well, first, before I realised I could do it, I downloaded the newest version of Kies because I got all kinds of errors when i did a kies software update from the older version. I had to uninstall it from my computer and install the newest one. I got it from here:
    http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/

    btw, I did all of this with the phone completely stock - restored to unrooted KH7, then did OTA KK6 upgrade. NOt sure if it would matter since you will start in download mode anyway.

    after completely finishing installing kies (and it took a while) i shut it down and then made sure the computer detected the phone in different modes (usb debugging on And off, and in download mode.) it will install the drivers when you connect it in each mode.

    now, WITHOUT the phone connected, start the new Kies and went to the tools menu. Chose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. It asked for the serial number and model number that I got from the sticker under the battery. Now, put the phone in download mode (either with a jig, or holding vol. up + vol down and inserting usb cable).

    After you enter the serial number and model number it should say that the latest recovery version is the LE5 (the new firmware). Now, just leave the phone connected and keep clicking through with OK. It should download the firmware, and when it is finished downloading you will see the blue bar moving across the phone when it is installing.

    Hope it works for you.
    As with everything else on here, I'm not responsible if you damage your phone.

    I dont think I left anything out but if you get to something that looks like I forgot to mention, ask and I'll probably remember.

    You guys do know you are a few clicks away from custom 4.0.4 roms that are better in every aspect right? I don't get how you can be an XDA user, know what's out there, and still be running stock.

    I'm going to be reporting this thread, just so yer aware. Not because I don't agree with free choice of u to be able to flash whatever u want, but because this could easily turn into an all out flame war. (Not from me, but you've seen the previous few pages).


    --- Snip ---


    I find that odd because from your posts it appears
    you are one of the ones fanning the flames.

    I created a simple thread, saying I got the Upgrade.

    Nobody forced you or others into this thread, but you came
    in of your own free will (apparently to troll this thread.), now
    you want to report it so it does not become a flame war.

    Seems a bit odd don't ya think?



    Lets Please keep the Thread on Track. Some do want help and some are helping.

    I bet entropy is a busy bee. Does anyone know if the brick bug has been prevented in the kernal.

    Not really... It's just another ****ty AT&T release. We learned from UCKH7 and UCKK6 that if you want the worst possible experience for your phone, install the AT&T release. It provides lockdown (tether blocking, which is more aggressive in ICS) and piles of bugs that you don't experience with I9100 firmwares (lockscreen issues in UCKH7, the abysmal power management of UCKK6 and broken Bluetooth HID in UCKK6).

    The source code (when released) might have some interesting updates that could possibly be pulled into my touchwizz kernel base and CM9 - but at this point I have a "guilty until proven innocent" attitude with regards to anything coming out of AT&T. Main things prior to source release I might do when I get some time:
    1) Check initramfs for anything interesting (unlikely though)
    2) Release a kernel with micswap disabled

    i wonder if we will get any custom rom with this firmware :confused::)
    Maybe... Someone might mess with it, but most of the developers here learned from UCKK6 that official AT&T releases are steaming piles of **** that consist of the worst possible base you can choose.

    I realize some people don't want AOSP firmwares - that's what I9100 touchwizz is for.

    Source was posted yesterday on Sam mobile

    No, source code was not released. So, among the list of "bugs you don't experience with I9100 firmwares", assume this has the trigger conditions for eMMC damage until we receive source code that indicates otherwise.
