Installing ICS to my skyrocket was a huge mistake. Is there any possibility of going back to Gingerbread?

Battery life went into the toilet, dropped calls thru the roof, too many changes to the experience.

I went back to GB as well after running ICS for a few days. To buggy for me, killed what LTE signal I had at my house but did give me better 4G.
Only thing is the link provided takes you back to 2.3.5, and no my phone will not do the 2.3.6 update, keeps failing at 25% on the install and to try again later.

According to AT&T, going back to Gingerbread using that file provided in the link will make the 2.3.6 update fail every time. I tried countless times. Finally went in yesterday and had them wipe and reinstall the OS for me, and it updated immediately to 2.3.6

I just called 5 AT&T stores and none of them said they can flash an OS on a phone. I'm in the St. Louis area.

No, they did not.

Weird none of the AT&T stores around me said they could do it, might just send my phone back and have Samsung do it. Waiting on a call back from AT&T now.

AT&T has a Device Support Center here in Salt Lake City, and they hooked up the phone and knocked it out in about 10 minutes. But none of the guys in the retail store directly adjacent to the support center knew what I was talking about.

I went to AT&T Device Support Center today after talking with support and he set my appointment up to flash 2.3.5 and see if the phone would update.. Took me an hour and 10 minutes to drive there they flashed it and tried the update but said servers were busy, so I left only to get call saying he forgot to put my SD card back in my phone
took me 30 minutes to drive back and the phone still would not update to 2.3.6.
Long story short I'm getting a new phone Tuesday! Warranty department called the Device Center to verify condition of my phone and sending it out today.
