ROM Flashing Newb Question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I recently converted to the Android side, rooted, customized, etc etc etc. Now I'd like to root for further theming, bloat removal, and whatever other optimizations come along with that.
But, after reading various ROM threads for Skyrocket, it seems there are a ton of issues that pop up that, as a total newb, I wouldn't be immediately able to resolve on my own. Not just the threat of bricking my phone, but losing MMS capability, or WIFI not working right, and so on.
My questions: Is it worth the hassle? Are these issues minor and quickly resolved? Can I truly brick my Skyrocket ("brick" to me means render it permanently inoperable)? Which ROM is the most popular for Skyrocket?
Thanks for your patient responses.

Yes you can truly brick your skyrocket. If u accidentally have re-partition checked in odin is a good way to do that. Yes rooting is worth it. You cant just jump in and do it. You need to research, and understand what your doing before hand. Learn what rooting is. Learn the basics. What odin is. What a tar is. What cwm is. Just read read read. Then when you do decide to taje the leap follow all instructions posted exactly.
Everyone has a best rom of choice. Depends on the person. I choose red sonja rom. To me its the best. Butbonce you root, and learn how to flash a rom. You will have to try them, and decide which is.best for you

We all started as noobs. And through lots of reading and research weball learn. The ins and outs

Exactly what silver said. I crapped my pants with my first root and flash... Ended up soft-bricking and with all the research I did I fixed it. Youtube is a really big help too! Make sure you have a backup and backup plan. Good luck and welcome to the smart side of smart phones!
Knowledge is the way to go

Thanks. I guess the threat of bricking my phone is somewhat deterring. Guess I'll keep reading around on it.

It is but if you take the proper precautions and have all the available files you'll be alright. And for God sakes make sure you have debugging checked.

Just read the guides is my advice. I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and xda has provided with the best help by far. This is my first true smart phone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^agree with everyone. i used to mess with my g-tablet while i had my iphone (jailbroken of course) and now i just got the skyrocket knowing that xda would provide tools to modify the phone from its orignial capabilities. having a little knowledge of cwm and flashing roms i felt that it would be fairly simple to apply the same tools to my skyrocket. after reading and reading through every thread i was skepticle about rooting and flashing a custom rom to my phone because of all the problems people were having. the MOST important thing is READ and UNDERSTAND the instructions before you do anything. even after my experience with the tablet, it still took me 3 weeks to fully understand what i needed to do and what i needed to do it. i rooted a few days ago and yesterday i flashed skyscreamsandwich, and today i applied the camara hack. i love this phone 10X more than i did stock and looking forward to more. the ones having so many issues are not following proper instructions and not doing reasearch thus soft bricking or even bricking their phones (and trust me i know from experience, i bricked an atrix) still takes guts do dive in, no guts no glory!!! just my 2c good luck...

Thanks again. Of course, if I do brick it, I probably wouldn't count on AT&T replacing the thing..

If you brick, don't panic. Worst case scenario a jig would be needed to unbrick. Soft brick can be undone without much grief. Just read before you do anything.

yup, we were all noobs at one point.
Most important thing to remember on the forums, READ before you ask questions. This is not because we don't like to answer questions, but when it's a question that has been asked hundreds of times before and answered......it gets aggravating.
Sometimes you will not find the answers you are looking for in the SkyRocket forums....sometimes you will need to venture into other parts of xda. Google is also your friend as well as other sites like RootzWiki.
Also remember to be polite and patient when asking questions. When I first started I always asked the question followed by a plea for forgiveness if I was asking something that had been answered. It also helps to post links or sites where you did go search for answers. It's a good thing to show you are being pro active in looking for your answer and not just expecting everyone to solve your issue.
We have to remember. These are OUR phones, not anyone elses on the forums, WE have to take responsibility for our own devices. Whatever you do with YOUR phone is entirely on YOU, not the Devs or xda or anyone else that may have answered a question for you.
Following these basic ideas makes for a better community. I believe in community, I had a great bunch of friends over in the Captivate forums......which most of them remain friends on Google +
I look forward to making more friends here on the SkyRocket forums.....and together we can make this a kick ass community.

I think it already is a kickass community. And hopefully remains that way.

rooting:unrevoked

i rooted my hero and evo using unrevoked im not an expert at adb. im assuming since it seemed like unrevoked worked on a majority of htc androids that we will possibly see a version for the TB????? im waiting but seriously all the bloat vzw have on here isnt called for for sakes the games are only demo's whats the point of blockbuster netflix but BB im waiting for the rooting to be perfected and unrevoks 1click method ..... i feel like those episodes of pimp my ride..... please hury so i can pimp my phone.....
Will be out soon the said beginning of week.

Unrevoked does not work for the thunderbolt
Doing things with ADB is a good way to start learning.
If you can't read instructions and can't simply copy and paste/extract some files on your SD card and copy and paste commands, you shouldn't root your phone.
Learned adb today and I feel so much better about rooting and flashing roms now.

Wasn't bad. Most of my time was waiting on the flash to complete.
Let me set this straight. Unrevoked are great people that make a great product.
We made EVERYTHING available to Joshua from unrevoked, prior to our release. He was more than helpful, and really nice. Any differences we had were put aside. We both have the same goals, a reliable easy root.
...
Then a single member, not a team as a whole (from what I understand that made the comments) made some uneducated and incorrect comments. He was rude, wrong and hurtful to our community as a whole. I have preserved a screen shot, since his comment was deleted from Engadget.

Matthew made it a point to be hurtful, but obviously does not pay attention. Let's address his concerns.
A) Correct it is an ENG HBoot, we could not set s-off in the nvram. The radio config seems to be locked, and the emmc attack does not unlock it. Of course if Matthew was paying attention, he would know this. FAIL
B) We have had over 1200 downloads of the root files, from our monitored mirrors (thats about 1/3 of mirrors). ZERO BRICKS to date. Not during development, not from users. FAIL
C) You can return to stock by flashing an RUU, it will not brick your phone. This has been proven over and over. Of course Matt would know this if he paid attention, but he didn't. FAIL
D) The "SECURITY WARNING" is easily removed, by flashing an RUU. If Matthew had paid attention, he would knows this. FAIL
Here is the big one..."Perhaps the real work should be done by scotty2 and the folks who know what they are doing as opposed to jcase and team".
Now this right here shows you that Matthew Fogle is a troll, nothing less. He has no clue what he is talking about, he did not read our root tutorial. scotty2 was crucial to it, and was as involved, if not more involved than anyone else. scotty2 continues to sit in our chat servers, and is always more than helpful to "noobs", including me. DOUBLE FAIL
Hopefully unrevoked does their magic, however they lost all of my respect today, at least until they handle their own people.
Get your crud right Matt.
-the noob "jcase"
jcase.... here is your best solution.... ignore everyone else and keep your thoughts to yourself on others... everytime you open your mouth you make yourself look worse and worse.
He pointed out valid concerns.. he never flamed you, if someone pointing out facts about a method hurts your feelings then man up bro....
Even scotty2 above agree's with his facts... accept it and move on... calling out FAIL and other bs makes YOU look bad...
And don't get all pissy about this post either... I'm being honest and direct so you will get it, in an effort to HELP YOU!
Thanks for all you guys do, but man up and stop the BS.
Everyone I think just needs to be happy we have root, s-off, and give credit were it is do. All this arguing is unnecessary. Not picking any sides let's just help each other to enjoy their phone the way they want to.

Is there a reason this thread still exists? Or at the very least isn't closed?
I'm not a noob, I've been in computers since before most of these people were born. That said, I like to know what's going on in the background when I do these types of things. I ALSO like to have the simplest way to get things done.
I did not use the first method AndIRC posted to root my phone. I looked at it and decided I would would wait for something cleaner, but I appreciated the fact that it was there. I did use the second method. It's cleaner, and ends with a current ROM.
I will however recommend unRevoked to anybody who asks me how to root a TB should they provide it. Why? Because it's easier than teaching them how, or doing it for them.
There's a place for everything.
This entire thread should just be deleted and forgotten. I don't know these guys except in passing, but I do know they are all above this sort of behaviour.
Just my two cents.

New Inspire owner here

I'm not to the sight but I'm not to the Inspire and so far I like it. I haven't messed with it to much but so far so good. I was with Tmobile and had the G2x and I have to say so far I loved that phone. I left Tmobile because there coverage sucks where I live at so I switched to AT&T to the Atrix and that phone was ok. Well my dumb azz dropped in water, so I used my G2x since I had it unlocked until I found someone to trade my G2x for the Inspire.

The only "help" I will offer is go the the inspire development section and see the hack kit thread. That is what you use to root. From there, as long as your read everything, you should be fine.

Exactly man! Believe me when I say it I was a huge noob when it came to this phone (i.e. see my noob debacle in flashing radios in the thread I created when I first became a member) since then and by applying a reading level above the 4th grade, I've been able to educate myself and eliminating the need for pointless threads that have been created and locked and created and locked and created and locked over and over and over again, you kinda see how that gets annoying from time to time

And while researching, it's entertaining see an occasional noob get torn a new one.
What does "root" mean, anyway?
Here in the inspire forums we like to do things ourselves. We also eat babies, beat our wives and not pick our children up from school. Now excuse me I'm going to go and cyberbully someone in another thread since they asked the same question.

[Q] HTC Inspire Root

Hi all,
first of all I just wanna admit that I am an inept in rooting androids. My friends told me to root my HTC Inspire to CM or some such like that.
I'm not sure if this is a new thread for you guys, but it is for me. I've come to this decision based on the fact that my htc inspire is becoming like crap, hopless, and without a doubt, sh!t can. AT&T won't give a damn anymore about the software updates, so I've decided to take care of business myself.
I've been doing some research regarding rooting the android and I've come across this. I'm still not sure how the whole process works.
Anyone care to help a helpless/hopless brother out?
Thanks
Well the AAHK is the tool you need to root. But before you try it, I would suggest spending some time reading this forum and learning exactly what rooting and custom ROMs are all about. Understand the process, what can go wrong, and how to fix it if it does. Everything you need to know has already been discussed here and it's expected that you search for the answers you need.
Once you're ready to root, read the OP of the thread that you linked to. Then read it again. Download the tool and read the "effin manual" that is included. Do exactly what it says in the manual. The steps are simple but very specific. If you don't prep the computer properly you're going to run into problems.

The Hack Kit is awesome and works beautifully, but you have to understand what you are doing. If you fail to read and understand de process and what is required to achive the root access then you will probably get jammed.
The question is why your cell sucking?? if you are experiencing freezes or lagsm then be carefull that you donĀ“t actually have a hardware issue. If your cells sucks just because you got tired of it then go ahead and you will have a lot of new feautres to add and to install to it.
Read carefully and follow instructions. If you are stuck then hit the IRC channel...

The Ace Hack Kit is definitely the easiest way to root. I can tell you when I first got an Android phone I read up as suggested here and was able to root successfully and progress from there over the past year and a half. Cheers.
To the. Op there is like a million threads on the how to root inspire phone. I can post back like 10 threads asking the same thing. Like the members say read and research and read more and more ... read the hack kit like 20xs so you understand it. Everything you ask like rooting roms how to flash roms making back ups. Radios and rils are all or been posted so research would hate to see a new member get *****ed at for not reading or watching that video when you sign up.

I am in the same boat ,new to this hobbie and I do see how at first it can seem very overwhelming .There is a wealth of info out there and people willing to help. I have been using the search function on YouTube. Just search for exactly what it is your wanting to know and you should come up with a step by step . I find actually seeing the process done is helping me understand alot faster.....

I rooted my phone 3 days ago and took out most of the bloat ware. From my experience thus far, the knowledge here is right on. I spent 5 days reading and using the search button like a mad man. I found all my answers, so far.
Download the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, inside there is a manual, it's called Effen Manual, read it. I read it three times and the instructions were spot on. It took literally just under 6 minutes. Just read the manual and use the search button it works. I haven't had to ask any questions yet.

just keep reading and it eventually makes sense!
It's truly a very enjoyable experience to learn what your phone is capable of once you've released it from the cuffs of ATT. I bought my Inspire on the day it came out for ATT in Feb 2011. After rooting and getting all of the benefits, I still haven't found a reason to buy a new phone..

Noobs take note, this is how it's done.
Saved and Texan by the grace of God, Redneck by choice.
Here's another tip, before you start another thread when you can't get it to work in Windows. Follow the instructions for the Ubuntu method.
OmI'm another one that used the ace hack kit for the first time a week ago. I researched for probably a good month before I even downloaded it and read the effin manual. By the time I got to that point, I already knew what I was getting into for he the most part. I ran into a couple hiccups along the way, but the effin manual literally had all the answers I needed. I just either didn't read carefully enough or somehow overlooked some details. After rooting, I waited and researched for about another week before I decided to flash the ics from in the development section. Did that successfully without a hitch also. And remember, this is my very first time rooting a phone.
What I'm just trying to say is that all the info is definitely out there/here. Just be patient, read and don't rush it.
its all in the hack kit. read the effen manual and then read it again then it will go smooth as butter. dont try to rush and dont be afraid. you will be pleased with the results.
i wish i could help but im new to the rooting process as well. Im not sure how to root, what exactly are the ROMs and what flashing means.

Hey guys, I dont want to start a new post (its related to root htc inspire). I havent rooted my phone b/c I didnt want to take risk. I really dont like that google can constantly track and, loss of privacy..will rooting help me get rid of things that kill privacy?
ty

where the DEVS at!!

where is Development on this phone !!!!!!!!! been like 2 or 3 months and no real Rom yet all this stock bs wheres the goods like Cyanogen or Miui even JKAYS stuff
If it wasnt for the LTE i would have got rid of the phone already for the lack of development.
hope to see some thing soon...
Always have positive attitude towards devs and their work. Or start backing your self.
Cm7 is buggy and we don't have full source therefore Miui is dead!!!! Once we get ICS we will cm9 and MIUI!

There are; pleanty of great . Roms that are very far from stock. For instance. Red sonja. My personel favorite. Os lightyears from stock. Very fast. No problems at all. I strongly suggezt you do a nandroid of your current setup, and flash it imidately.

thanks but ive tried all of them red sonia to.... sean is a beast i like his stuff.. hes the only true DEV from what i see... but kudos to all that are doing a little something.. Cheers!!
There is a thread in the dev section about "compiled ICS msm8660". Best I can tell, it is full of a bunch of tallented people that are compiling code line by line and debugging to get an ASOP ICS base for this phone. If those people are not defined as "Devs" I don't think the word should exist. Plus, several great ROMs to chose from in the DEV section. Personally, I'd like to see more done with the "stock" ROM, but there are limitations as to what can be done to an Odexed ROM. It should be interesting to see what happens when Samsung leaks true codes for this phone.
Dude, why don't you do a little something then? Its called contribute. Have some respect for the devs here. They are supporting MANY devices in MANY aspects besides just ROMs. They also have families, friends, and full-time jobs. I have great respect for the devs here and I appreciate all they're work, my device supported or not. I didn't see what I liked so I modded a stock ROM the way I wanted. I didn't sit here and ridicule. I've researched, I've read, researched and read some more. I learned. I'm also doing my best to help others. So now is the tome you shut up or nut up bro. Have some respect for our ass busting devs. Not to mention pro bono. ****. Sorry devs and mods, I appreciate your work and wish I knew or could even do half of what you can. I am loyal. I am supportive. I apologize some people are selfish, irresponsible, and ignorant. Dev on and open source forever!

There is a thread in the dev section about "compiled ICS msm8660". Best I can tell, it is full of a bunch of tallented people that are compiling code line by line and debugging to get an ASOP ICS base for this phone. If those people are not defined as "Devs" I don't think the word should exist. Plus, several great ROMs to chose from in the DEV section. Personally, I'd like to see more done with the "stock" ROM, but there are limitations as to what can be done to an Odexed ROM. It should be interesting to see what happens when Samsung leaks true codes for this phone.

Wow. First this kind of post is usually not tollerated. And im actually suprised you didnt start a major flame war. Second you very obviously do not read, or have any clue what you are talking about. Johnsondr80 and xborder are deffinately true developers. Its obvious you have not taken any time to read anything your lack of knowledge has lead you to create this thread as well as disrespect all the developers. For future refrence think before you post a thread, and do some reading/research.

Hey I'm a noob technically... lol I agree. Do you're reading and you're research. But I also will admit that the ROMs I've seen aren't my exact flavor. HOWEVER!!! I will still say the ROMs are great work. The devs behind them are awesome. I in no way will ridicule the devs or theyre work. I compiled something I wanted instead. I learned how. By god I almost lost all my hair but I succeeded. And no I probably won't post it or any rom. Not until I get a lot more experience. So devs and mods I appreciate your hard work. I appreciate even more the info you all have left in various threads for us to learn from so we can CONTRIBUTE ourselves instead of flaming others for our own irresponsible ignorant a$$3$. Dev on boys and open source forever

go away. if you dont like the speed of development you can man up and do something about it or you can F off.
Our phone has much better dev support than most other phones. You should be happy with it.

Jellybean on SGS4G

I know I know we just got ICS, and Jellybean is already in the wild. I just wanted to know is the SGS4G compatible. Or is any developer aiming towards this new OS update. Im extremely overwhelmed with all the new ICS ROM's being released daily for our lovely device! I just wanted to thank the developers for their hard work!
Wooooow awesome news...
/sigh

lol guys with just get ICS and you want jb ......ICS is now the main thing to make it work without errors not jb so stop asking lol
First of all, Jelly Bean hasn't been released yet.
Secondly, it won't be released on a new phone for a while.
Thirdly, it's quite insulting to the developers who worked their asses off to get you CM7 and CM9 to post stupid things like this.
Lastly, stop being so effin greedy!

Greed is what makes the world go 'round!
Without 'I want, I want' there would be less innovation.
It doesn't hurt to express interest, even though we all know the interest is already there... and it's no insult to the dev's to let them know we appreciate their work, and have the faith in them that they'll be able to do something with JB when it comes along as well.
Asking for a when, or issuing a 'hurry the hell up' is a whole different story though...
Personally, by the time JB starts showing up on phones I'd more likely be buying a new phone anyway...

You can go ahead and say "I want, I want" all you "want" when you are paying for goods as a consumer to corporations whose duty is to sell goods that cater to their consumers.
These developers work on these roms for free, they put it in hours and hours of their own labor to provide everyone what they are working on for free, therefore "I want" is a moot point.
If you are paying for something you can yell "I want" all you want, if you are freeloading, well then you really can't say much.
And yes, by the time JB is out, people should be ready for their next upgrades anyway.
I never said they'd get it just for asking... what I mean is, if no one seems interested, things are less likely to get any time invested. Who wants to build something no one wants?
I'm not asking for anything anyway... I take what comes along and I'm happy to have it. I can tweak things, but I can't build them, so I'm ecstatic when someone else distributes something I like!
The devs all know people will want JB roms, there really is no need to tell them, but I doubt it's offending any of them, none of the devs here seem that thin skinned to me.
If people start demanding it, then there's a problem... and you're exactly right...
[my typical rhetorical sarcasm]
So is JB out now? how about now? how about now? then can we get Android 5.0 Scooby Snack by Monday? are we there yet? mom? mom? mom? mom? mom? mom? mom? bueller? bueller? bueller?
(PS Do not insult the ADHD, just laugh and shake your head)
Unoffical JB is already out but not for our device ( i know the nexus has it) official release to come out mid July

The OP was just asking a question. He wasn't even demanding JB, he was asking if its compatible and if there are people working on it. Why so rude?

Yes, Jelly Bean will probably be possible at some point with a bit of work. It will depend on us getting ICS to a stable point.
No, none of us are working on it. The source code is not out yet and we've only just started getting ICS going. *
* There are some people trying to get the JB SDK image to work on our device, but you won't really want to use it because stuff will be broken and it will be buggy as all hell.
