friends
I bought a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket the United States that came with the original rom from AT&T
but I found the 3G signal very freak.
The S2 skyrocket are very similar with S2 default, but i do not know if i can
put any from samsung galaxy s2 default in skyrocket !!!! it will works?
and how im can apply the roms in sky rocket ?
grateful
Almir
Absolutely do NOT put galaxy S2 roms on a galaxy S2 skyrocket. While the UI prob looks the same in a lot of ways. The insides of the two devices are completely different from each other. They both have different processors ect... only flash roms for the galaxy S2 skyrocket.

He is correct. DO NOT flash any roms except for the ones in the skyrocket thread. Only the skyrocket, and tmobile gs2 are compatible. Any others and you will brick your device. But read before flashing any tmobile gs2 roms as well. Research is your best friend with android phones.
Read read read before ever flashing anything
ok dont worry
but There is a fix to improve the signal 3g?? my 3g is terrible

hey
hey guys new to android and just have a question if you could help. just rooted my phone and tried flashing the cyanogenmod and the ics roms but they wont work the ROM manager takes me to the recovery mode part and i click install from SD card and it says it cant do it and im lost
thanks for the help
SO let me understand the problem. When you try to flash something from internal sd card it won't let you flash? if that's the problem than see if you can mount sd card. and do it from there. if nothing works than you might wanna unroot and re root it again.

Did you choose to install from sdcard or internal sdcard? You want to install from internal.

Well yes that's mostly recommended by devs but you can still flash it from external sd card. I done it without problem. But as you said always do it from internal sd.

just have one last question i put on cyanogen mod 7 is it good the best rom for skyrocket atm ? and if i go into clockwork mode and go to my saved rom and restore it and i switch back and forth from each rom ?
no cm7 is not best rite now. The beast is Ice cream sandwich rom by sean.

did what all my friends told me to do, who have the evo apparently a bad mistake. used unrevoked to root my evo, worked perfect. stoked!! downloaded titanium backup, backed up everything, worked great. still happy. went to install a rom (i guess) it told me i needed to change my kernel and had a link to the market for a kernel downloader. downloaded the app looked through bout five different kernels, all had good reviews and stable... downloaded the one with the most downloads (6700 or something). asked download? i said yes. asked flask now? i said yes. it said flash complete reboot coming... rebooted got to the HTC EVO 4G white screen sat there for bout 15 seconds and shut off tried to reboot again same thing. bout ten times in a row so i pulled the battery. did a hard reset didnt fix, did a wipe, didnt fix....
anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you
You need to match the right kernel for the ROM your using, you can download and put it on your SD card boot into bootloader should be good to go. Worst case reflash ROM.

Go into bootloader (power off, then back on while holding volume down) Go into recovery, choose install from zip, then find the ROM on your SD card and flash.
You did backup right ?

I think he was asking if you made a Nandroid back ( a complete backup of you ROM) If not you need to place a ROM on your SD card and flash it via recovery (see my earlier post)

Dont hook it to the pc. When the phone is off (hold volume down then hold the power button) it will boot into bootloader, volume down to recovery, hit power to select.

Hello XDA,
Im having a problem with recovery mode, my laptop and skyrocket read the sd card fine when in usb data storage mode. even when i check myfiles on the phone it says that the flashable zips that i have copied over are there. when i boot into recovery mode it gives me a list of dir's but when i go into the external sd dir nothing is there... Why is this? If anyone can help please!!! Thank you in advance. what I am trying to do is wipe my phone with The DarkSiDE SuperWipe and then flash the phone with ATT-ICS-Tmo-Port_2.zip. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy II Lte
Model# SGH-1727R. Rooted. Sim unlocked. Telus Sim in.
Are you picking install zip from sd/ choose zip from sd?
the only options i get are to apply update for sd, wipe factory reset and wipe cache. thank you for getting back. but it wont even recognize that anythings on the card to begin with.
apply update FROM SD that is.
Sounds like you have stock 3e recovery and not cwm.
ahh shoot! Ok i know what the problems is... my phone wont enter DL mode thaught i already had CWM in but i dont. Sigh! if its not one thing its another... been working on this since 5 yesterday... im starting to skip steps lol.

Hi!
If you not put the rom to sdcard, its little problem.
Dont worry, use the ODIN program and flash the new 2.3 stock rom.When you finished,flash cf-root kernel. When you completed these tasks,after put the rom to sdcard,from your pc.Thats all.

So simple you take out the sd card from the phone and you put it in the sdcard reader (if you don't have one just buy it. it will cost you over 3$) and then put it in your computer then copy the rom to sd card

Hey guys, I think I botched my tab... Stupidly I accidentally flashed a kernel that was not for my device...It's stuck in a boot loop, and I don't have my original CM9 rom to flash back. When I try to mount the sd card to my computer to try and put the CM9 rom back on, it won't mount. If I use an SD to Micro SD card adapter I can throw the rom back on and flash it right?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am about to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007876&highlight=stock+rom but I need a backup plan if it doesn't work.
Thanks!
EDIT: Guide worked like a charm. Won't be making that mistake again.

That would be your best bet. Everyone makes mistakes like this once in a while but make sure that you always create backups so you wont lose all your data. Best of luck
yeah...u can use that procedure to get back to stock which will unroot ur device..this is a safe procedure..
but, if can get a rom in your sd card, flash it and make wipes..it'll be shorter method i guess, it'll save a lot of time!
Haha yeah it's funny the download link for the stock restore zip was downloading 700mb at roughly 100mb/s so yeah...slow af. But it worked so that's all that matters.

I thought I would change the title of my thread as the issue seems to have changed. I hope that isn't a problem. I am able to get into loader mode just fine and have loaded CWM twice through ODIN but am unable to get the internal SD Card to mount or USB mode to work. HAs anyone seen this before? I searched carefully and could not find any reference to my problem. I was careful to uncheck re-partition but there is a chance I may have not, I suppose. Would that cause my problem? Any input would be most appreciated....I'm stuck.
Well, the good news is as long as you have Odin mode nothing is broken that cant be fixed the bad news is, I've been following your progress, and I'm stumped and out of ideas :-/ the way I understand it, you have a working Clockwork Mod recovery, you can boot to recovery. Correct? When you try to mount USB mode in Mounts and Storage, it gives you an error? Do you have an external microSD that you could copy a ROM over to and try to flash from there?
Which version of CMW did you flash,I found issues with ver 6.XXX and went back to ver 5.XXX non touch. In the newer versions including touch USB and mounting the drives didn't work for me. I thought it was my phone because of everything I've done since rooting

Sounds interesting, but wouldn't this explode needing to access the internal SD? i don't know if my PC has a SD Slot, but that is easy enough to fix. I'll try the solution below then this one.. One step at a time. Glad I've got a stumper even if it is a pain in my @ss.

I'm using CWM 5.5.0.4 Still stumped. IF I did something stupid I sure wish I knew what it is. Phone is one week old and of course store claims it is my fault..........rrrrgh. I bought a Galaxy Express to hold me over until I get this fixed. The store offered me a job if I could fix it and as I'm not working, I'm calling in all the troops to help me here if possible........Thanks a million. or a thousand. They don't pay much.I Just checked and the sd card ext will not mount either in CWM and gives errors. I'd like to mod the express I bought to replace this one but am a bit gun shy now. It seems this problem is buried pretty deep.
Stil grateful but in need of help..
Ready to send it off to a JTAG repair shop but as I can still boot into both download and recovery modes there must be something I can do myself to fix this. Anybody out there??????

All you've gotta do is Odin the ORIGINAL GB or ICS from Sammobile. Your soft bricked (no biggie). Your more than likely missing a few important files that GB or ICS could fix. I'd go with GB, IMO

I went to Sammobile and downloaded the firmware but it comes in Zip format and Odin does not recognize that rrgh. I can't get it onto a sd card because it won't mount in CWM.

You need to unzip the file and extract the files there's a tar file inside. Use the instructions in konanes thread with the file you have. I can walk you through it better tommorow when I get off work, its very easy.

Well I found it before you replied and low and behold I am able to boot my phone. Now it won't recognize the sim card. I made sure the SIM works in another phone. BTW this is a T-Mobile phone originally but I run on simple mobile. I tried the unlocking process but I did not pay for an unlock code because it won't boot to the unlock code screen. It just goes all the way through and then reports "no sim card Emergency calls only" Thanks for getting me this far. The phone worked fine before I started playing with it. Now I'm really stumped...rrgh.
Thanks

Also of note only flashing T769UMB1 from Sammobile will allow the phone to boot at all. Whet I try to flash the root kernel the phone locks up as always at the blue bar when it completes and when reflashing T769UMB1 I go into CWM and am still unable to mount the SD Cards or USB Storage. Appears my little bit of progress was in vain. When it does boot as mentioned above, I still have "no sim card" Any advice would be appreciated. Being a NOOB, I am unsure if I started out with GB or ICS in the first place it that offers any assistance.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
You need to buy an unlock code, than you can enter it through your dialer.
---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
You skipped the next step. You can't flash from GB to the latest. You have to do it in steps first GB than ICS uvlh5 than uvlmb1, uvlh5 was a prerequisette to the latest mb1. Start over...

You need to buy an unlock code, than you can enter it through your dialer.

You skipped the next step. You can't flash from GB to the latest. You have to do it in steps first GB than ICS uvlh5 than uvlmb1, uvlh5 was a prerequisette to the latest mb1. Start over...

I have done as you suggested and really appreciate all the time you have taken to help me out. When I loaded UVLH5 the phone said it was updating 62 apps as it booted and I was in the same predicament. The phone boots and recognizes the internal memory card but will not recoginze my SIM card. I thought it was supposed to ask for an unlock code when it saw the foreign sim as I have seen that on other sites. The phone just boots and says "No SIM card" whether or not one is installed. Would sending it off for a JTAG repair solve my problem? I think I may have screwed the pooch so to speak when I loaded uvimb1. I am determined to fix this phone. It shouldn't be so difficult, famous last words. I think there may be a way to force the dialer to allow me to enter an unlock code, but before I spend more money on the phone I want to make sure that is what I need to do. I also cannot seem to get back into CWM for some reason. Maybe the button sequence has changed with the update. Confirming that procedure would be quite helpful.

I went to Sammobile and downloaded the firmware but it comes in Zip format and Odin does not recognize that rrgh. I can't get it onto a sd card because it won't mount in CWM. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll hold off for another response before I ship it out. Seems like I should be able to find something to flash on here somewhere, but i'm stumped.......

You need an account with samfirmware and you should be downloading a .tar.md5 file. Shouldn't be a zip. Just curious, what's inside the zip?
