I figured I'd put together a list of current Rogers phones and their supposed timeslines for ICS updates. To avoid all the "ZOMG" why doesn't my phone have ICS yet threads.
"Factory (ETA)" is generaly the eta of the international unlocked version to get ICS. Rogers would have to release their version of the ICS firmware after that... Custom ROM availability is listed for reference, in case people are tired of waiting or for phones that won't be getting official ICS firmware. Most Rogers phones come with locked bootloaders making custom roms difficult / impossible, and certainly not for the faint of heart (unlocking the bootloader will kill your warantee.) Sorry for the format...I had it all custom coloured and everything in Excel. Let me know if there are other phones you want listed or if you have information I don't.
Phone Factory (ETA) Rogers (ETA) Custom ICS ROM
Acer Liquid E Never. Never. Work in Progress
Acer Liquid Metal Never. Never. Work in Progress
HTC Jetstream (Tab) Never. Never. Bootloader Locked
HTC One X Released Released Bootloader Locked
HTC Raider Released unknown Bootloader Locked
LG Optimus 3D unknown unknown Can't find one…
Motorola RAZR Q2-Q3 unknown Bootloader Locked

any new on the moto razr getting ICS?? was just released and pushed out in the US
06-22-2012 09:27 AM
Hrm, that's the LTE enabled VZN version.
Rogers version is different.
Still, should be coming out soon.....one would hope.

If it's locked, does that mean the ICS update will not be recieved on the phone or what does that mean? For example, for the xperia arc, it is locked so will the phone still get the update for the users in Canada?
06-23-2012 08:37 AM
Locked in the list just means it can be difficult to install a custom ROM.
The Xperia Arc should be getting ICS. The international firmware has already been released so, it's up to Rogers to get it out to its users.
06-29-2012 03:03 AM
What about Samsung Captivate? I know it won't get an update but I think it should be on the list as a NO. I did hear rumours that Samsung will release another update for this phone but it won't be ICS. Not sure if that is true though.
06-29-2012 08:22 AM
Plenty of custom ROMs to be honest for the captivate (similarity to Nexus S ftw) Heck there are even Jelly Bean ROMs out for it already.
I can't edit the posts more than once...I really don't get that restriction.

I just read this from another thread

Apparently Its a Rogers Razr ICS 4.0.4 leak

To be fair to Rogers...I doubt it's adding the bloatware that takes time. (it takes about 2 seconds to push apps to the system directory, maybe a couple hours to compile a new ROM)
More likely they are testing the software on some ISO approved schedule that requires them to have the firmware for X amount of days, including back end work to ensure compatibility. (That said...the GNex doesn't have these problems regardless of ROM)
Generally speaking, if you aren't rooted and don't really want to bother with custom ROMs just wait. GB was and still is a good bit of operating system.

Any ideas on an update for the Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G?
07-05-2012 02:38 PM
After Extensive searching the internet, I can say with perfect certainty...
Maybe.
Infuse isn't listed on Samsung's official blog as one of the phones getting the ICS upgrade, however there have been contacts with Samsung support that indicate that it will come.
...custom ROMs for the infuse aren't 100% yet.

HTC Evo 3D just had ICS released last night, and the HTC Raider is available today as well.
