Just got the new OTA, but still no Jelly Bean. I777UCLL6

IMEISV is now at version 7. No other changes I can see.

It looks like it updated Kies Air, and now the Facebook app won't open. I haven't noticed any other changes yet.

Hey all,

As some of you have already noted, an update is available for the Samsung Galaxy SII.

The update includes fixes for devices that may become unresponsive and/or power down while sitting idle on rare occasions. It also enhances security to protect against malware vulnerability. You will receive a notification on your phone to update.

NOTE - You must have updated to Android version 4.0 to receive notification of the new software update

:( Had my hopes up for JB even though I know the phone will not get it from AT&T.

I guess it is good that they are still trying to improve the phone.

I previously rooted and flashed Siyah 4.3.3 which resolved my issue with the sleep of death. This seems to prevent this new update from installing as when the phone reboots it shows the Siyah boot image and then boots back into the OS, when I unlock the phone it tells me that the update failed to install. I'm not in a hurry to install an update that resolves something I've fixed through other means, but I thought I'd share for those interested.

You really shouldn't accept OTA updates unless you are 100% stock.

Hopefully it fixes the SOD problem. I was getting ready to call or go to AT&T and demand I be let out of my contract.

This has been happening to me for the past few months, on more than "rare occassions" though. I never knew what to call it until I saw people on here refer to it as Sleep of Death. Yep, sounds about right. And it would rapidly drain my battery when it happened.

I've successfully updated, so hopefully this will take care of it. It gets VERY annoying! And all the much worse since I use my phone for my alarm, haha. I have my wife's as a backup though.

I'm only a curious now, about whether this fixes the SOD. After hours on the phone with ATT and Samsung, and a few factory resets and a new phone, it was still doing it. And each time I called them about it, they'd say they were not aware of such a problem. Anyway, not an issue anymore for me, since going to Task's AOKP ROM, which got me so many better features than an ATT update ever would have - warranty or no.

The only reason why this OTA was pushed was because a ton of users were posting this issue on the ATT forums for 4 months straight. Even then ATT pushes an OTA for 4.0.4 instead of using one of the many 4.1.2 firmwares from Samsung.

My understanding is that it is up to Samsung to produce the firmware, and because it's a carrier-branded device, I have a hard time believing that they'd do that unless instructed to.

    Can anyone tell me if this update will lock my phone like UCLK3 did ....I'm outside US and I had to spend 3 bucks to unlock it last time :S

    Thanks

    I'm currently on UCLK3 and rooted through Exynos Abuse app.

    Unknown. But you should be able to unlock for free with GalaxSim Unlock downloaded from the developers XDA thread.
