Default Any way to manually update to 2.3.6?

I've tried to repeatedly update to 2.3.6, forever every time it tells me i'm up to date. I'm running the stock OS, restored from Odin and rooted with zerg rush. I've cleared days on the device management app and still no love. I don't want to use the flashable update since its not complete. Any ideas?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

I can't get mine to OTA either. I'm 100% stock except for being rooted, but even before rooting I couldn't get it to update.

No your only option is to wait and see if u get the update. Connect to wifi when u check for the update
. Or flash the zip it is complete just does not change your baseband





donations are never required. how ever I got laid off. and my car blew the engine. so anyone who does donate. I just want to say it is very much appreciated

I got my skyrocket last week and updated instantly. My friend got one yesterday and will not see the update. I have tried it about 20 different times, so maybe the did pull the update for some reason.

Did your friend try while connected to wifi? For folks who have yet to receive the update in the status bar above, you might want to take the manual route. I am quite sure that the majority of you already know how to do that, but for those who do not know and are rather green to the entire setup, here is how you get going – first of all, pull down your phone’s Menu, head on to Settings and then Software Update. Select Check For Updates, and you ought to be able to see the Over The Air (OTA) update begin. Make sure you have a full battery and are connected to a Wi-Fi network to make it as painless as possible!

I called at&t today asking them why I haven't gotten the 2.3.6 update yet and the answer I got was priceless. First he stated that at&t releases the update in batches and I probably just haven't gotten there yet which I was fine with. But then he went on to say I should be getting another update after that to... wait for it... 3.1 honeycomb. At this point I hung up. I'd love to hear what answers anyone else gets from at&t.
