Just got there new OTA, but still no Jelly Bean. I777UCLL6
IMEISV is now at version 7. No other changes I can see.
fixes for devices that may become unresponsive and/or power down while sitting idle on rare occasions
I guess it is good that they are still tring 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.
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
From community manager on ATT forums:
Link Omitted
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.
Just got am s2 i777 for my wife. Its stock and still on GB. Its factory unlocked and were on T-Mobile (t-maybe). I would root it and custom ROM it but its the wife's .
Is the only way for me to update through kies? Because kies is crashing on my PC right now.
