[Q] noob root questions/ ATT GSII Skyrocket 2.3.5 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey guys,
My lady upgraded me to the GSII skyrocket for Xmas. I thought I saw a thread for a Super One-click root for GSII skyrocket with 2.3.5. I looked all through the forum but cant find it or a simple root for 2.3.5. I rooted my old galaxy but got lucky doing it. Anyone want to give me a late Xmas presents on step by step instructions?

There is a guide in the dev section. Not all that hard if you just following the steps.

The drivers don't exist on the link provided takes me to a blank page. The other for Android Syndicate site doesn't exist for the Skyrocket or was taken down.

Use PdaNet to install the drivers if you can't find them. Its a free app in the market.

The drivers were all I was missing. I went out to samsung directly, downloaded the Kies drivers right from there, went out to SuperClick and worked like a charm! Any apps or suggestions of what I should do to it next?

Download rom manager. Install cwm recovery for the tmobile gs2 . Then download titaniim backup. Back up all your apps. Then boot into cwm. And choose backup/restore. And select backup. You will then have a nandroid backup. Custom recovery, and apps backd up with titanium

What are the implications of rooting? I expect Samsung/AT&T will release an ICS update for this phone in 2012 Q1 or Q2. Will rooting it now interfere with that eventual update?

You have to have stock recovery and all bloat to receive an ot a update there is a stock recovery tar in development section

rooting question and ICS?

I recently got my I727 and just rooted it using the 1 click tool, I'm wondering if it would be possible to unroot and restore it to factory default settings later if needed (lol i really should've checked before).
Also anyone know if ICS will be coming to this phone?
You can odin the stock tar anytime you want to reaturn to stock and yes ics is confirmed for q1 of 2012
Thanks. How do I know if it rooted correctly. In the site I read it said that superuser and CWM should show up. superuser showed up but theres no app for clockworkmod.
I have some apps from Rogers (my carrier) that I want to remove and I heard that rooting will let me, but it still doesn't let me uninstall or stop the apps running.

[Resolved] [Q] Bricked DROID MAXX

So I rooted my phone and everything seemed fine. I Installed and used Tasker successfully and had no issues for about 3-4 days. However, today tried to restart my phone and it won't boot past the droid sign. I tried holding down vol + power and booting in recovery, factory, or normal but they all lead back to the droid image with no further actions. I don't think it had USB debugging enabled so plugging it in seems to do nothing. Any suggestions? I am a complete newbie to android and to the forum so any help is greatly appreciated.
Got it fixed. :laugh: and now im scared of trying to root it again.

Thanks, got it and running ics now, it was very easy and helpful to follow your guide.
Another question, If I wanted to go back to old gingerbread I think it was ver21g, how hard would that be?
Cheers
I have not tried it, but you should be able to flash it in the same manner.

...and glad it worked ok for you. People often, understandably, have trouble with the driver installation part.

So I can flash kdz files with flash tool? or just the bin files only?
Pretty sure it must be .bin and/or .fls files. There is a tool that extracts these from .kdz, but I have not used it and do not know where it is. Likely you will find it in the General section.
---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------
The advantage is you can try different basebands (.fls) without having to flash the whole system (.bin).

I have root and will be happy to backup and send you a copy. I'm guessing that I need to unlock my bootloader and install a custom recovery first. I cant seem to locate information on unlocking the bootloader and where to get the correct CWM for this tablet. If you point me in the right direction I'll hook you up ?
The cwm can be found here

Nothing to test, cwm works and its a backup. I'll see if I can pull images and make a stock zip like I did for AOSP. So that if it's ever needed again it will be easier.
Also check earlier in the thread for the location that cwm backs up to. For some reason it isn't the standard location.

so whats the exact command I need to put into adb to push the backup onto the device. I copied it manually but it doesnt show up in CWM...lol

I get it to push everything via adb but it still shows "install untrusted" in cwm, and it fails everytime, i've tried everything! It's driving me bonkers...i've even pushes the zip/unzipped folder to the same location via rom toolbox pro, and still a no go. it doesnt show up in recovery also

After about 3,000 restarts and tons of BS here and there I FINALLY figured it out. It just randombly decided to shownup in the cwm recovery...got it loaded and im posting this on the new rom! Thanks guys...seriously..?i missed stock. And I feel as If this actuallly works faster? Lmao
