So if they get this. Is it possible to strip it down and make something of it for us?

People are just waiting for the drop, then it should be ported for us in a week or so.

the vibrant? I don't think that will help much, haven't they had a leaked copy for a while..
That's a GSM phone like the captivate, we're CDMA (Network)
Admittedly I am still wrapping my brains around all this.
I am understanding that when we flash something we don't actually do anything with the Phone or Radio portion do we ?
If that is the case. The computer part if the SGS phones are basically the same as far as hardware.
If I am incorrect please let me know as it will completely alter my understanding of what we are doing when we flash and MOD ..
I have been picking through the file system and have not found anything that actually controls the radio. But then there are also more than a few files I am unsure of.

I currently own a captivate but now that I have two I am planning on selling and buying a Nexus S.
My question is Im assuming I will not be able to use 3G, however with a custom ROM would I be able to get "H" network or will I only be able to use EDGE?
Thanks in advance

Edge only. T-Mobile and ATT use different network bands. Otherwise I'd own a nexus s as well.

I'm not sure to be honest. If in fact you can get hsdpa or hsupa or hspa with a custom rom or modem. I may purchase one. I can look into it a little.

The answer is no. The physical support is not there - it's not an issue of flashing the appropriate radio.
An AT&T version has been seen in FCC fillings as well as referenced in commits in the git repo - it will be available soon enough. If you get the current version for AWS you're stuck on edge.

You can't do this for the simple fact that "H" is based off of 3G. The 2 companies use different frequencies for 3G and as such, different hardware is required within the phone. Simply put, no 3g, no H no matter what ROM you flash.
the ATT version is coming soon, probably within the next few weeks. it already went thru FCC testing.
if anyone is looking to pick up another 4g...
Galaxy S 4G T959V in great condition, phone comes with charger and battery.

hey man, change the model number to T959V. how much?
I think I smell another developer fund!

Well I keep getting low ball offers, it's kind of frustrating lol. I feel $225 is fair if anyone is interested just let me know. Check out the pics, the phone looks pretty good.
well since mine is currently a door stop. (Dont ask) I'll probably need to get another eventually. just need to work out the finances.

Flash back to stock if brick. Flash CM7, MIUI, etc... just like Infuse 4g?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
I came from an Infuse and felt fairly at home on the Skyrocket.
My impression from reading forums is that more people have screwed up this phone than the Infuse because there are so many phones with the Galaxy S II name and people try to mix and match ROMs. Just be careful of that and you should be fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Its because people do not read. Obviously there different devices. And common sense says dont flash anything from a different device. Mabye it will break mine. Or mabye i should read and find out if you can on certain devices. But nope nope nope. People dont read and apparantly have very little common sense. So they just flash wrong roms/kernels. Then complain about how its a developers fault or odins fault there brickd.
So bottom line is. Always know what your flashing before attempting to flash anything. Even themes
Yes I noticed people screwed up. Wrong roms. Good thing it can be fixed by return to stock.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Actually alot of times ot can not be fixed
I have a question..?? Can the skyrocket be unlock for any GSM Carrier just like the Samsung Infuse by using either an app or editor?
No the apps dont work. You gota pay a website like cellunlocker for the code
Hey there.
I noticed a bunch of you are possibly getting a different phone. If you plan on getting a different phone, we want it.
Some of you have broken phones.
I am looking for an sgs4g to totally rip apart for scientific reasons. I want to try my hands at making a reversed engineered schematic.
If the phone works great, it will be a lame demise... but if it totally doesn't turn on, has a broken screen, is already kinda smashed. I don't care! Send it to me!
Let me know.
This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart. This will only help our community.
If you are not serious and are looking to just say things or whatever off-topic, I will have the moderator delete your post.
Thanks!
Question: Are you asking for them to be donated or are you purchasing them?
Edit: This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart.
Sorry.
I have a Galaxy S 4G with a Vibrant screen and camera.
So hardware wise, it's a Galaxy S 4G, lookwise, it looks like a Vibrant. (Except for the backcover.)
I'll consider donating it.

Right, this is going to go 2 steps further then a tear down.
I want to desolder chips from the board. This is not reversible. I cannot put the chips back on. The board will be hosed afterwards.
I will pay for shipping.
Does raver still have the sgs4g he baked? That would be a great candidate.

ok so i dont even know if this the right area to post this,
but i need some help flashing a new radio into my att skyrocket to use with tmobile. i have rooted the phone, but i am unsure of flashing the radio and bricking my phone. on top of that i have no computer to be able to do this. My desk top was fried by my son and my old mac lap top cant be used for this purpose.
i am getting the phone unlocked today and would like some one local to so cal, los angeles to help me accomplish this. i will travel to you and buy lunch if that helps sweeten the deal LOL. i'd like to be able to do this by sunday at the latest, so if some one is free and willing to help me and show me how to do it, would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. maybe i can even get some help flashing a new rom to et all this bloat off my phone and help my batt. i hope i have not offended any one by asking for in person help, i only have this one phone for now and can not take a chance of bricking it. thank you all
no takers??

ok since there are no local takers, what would be the best radio to use with an unlocked, rooted skyrocket, running stock firmware and all on t-mobile? i have been reading threads on the Blaze radio, but then read something else on a different one LVE3(??) but i cant find the thread. i know every one os going to say to run a custom ROM but i am unsure of doing this and dont want to brick my phone. Like i stated worst part is i dont have a working PC to use for all this. I'm working on getting my old one fixed but wont be for a bit.
Depends on your area and what rom your running.
If you like Touchwiz then go with a Tw base rom. If now then go with a CM/AOKP/AOSP base rom.
Be careful on how you ask questions or this thread my get locked. Just try to re frame from making it sound like what's the best. Lots of trolls out there.

Many will tell you fairy tales ... T mobile with our SR is buggy at best , lots of droped calls and data problems .not to mention crappy upload speeds .... Sell it or trade it with s2 tmoble .
PS : and for your inquiry , no need to back up the radio , just flash a t mobile radio in cwm or twrp like the blaze radio for ICS....You might loose your IMEI in the process be careful(as some experienced)
ok i found the radio, its was the uvlg3 from a note for t-mobile. i'm still trying to find the thread but no luck.
if i flash the radio and i dont like it, what is the stock radio that comes with the SR? for att?
