Tmobile update?

hello all, nice to be here.
Tmobile sent out a software update to my phone this morning, did any one else get one?
I was about to start modding stuff like taking off touchwiz. Would a software update make doing this harder?
It reads,
'congratulations!
T mobile has sent you a new software update for your device.
To proceed with installation select next.'
It's possible that this update might keep me from modding certain things right?
Any details known about the update?

Is it just KD1? I know that rolled out from tmobile recently.

It's kd1 update. We have had a deodexed and rooted version available for Odin flashing here for a while. I recommend using it instead of the tmo version. Look up Whitehawkx kd1 thread here on the forum and follow the directions in the op if you want to try it out.
Also an fyi to avoid flames--this is the dev forum. Questions should go in general forum. We are trying to keep things organized so folks can find what they need--and to keep Mr. Clown (forum mod) happy!

Sorry I thought this was more of a dev question. Thanks for the heads up and the info.

Since the galaxy s in the UK got the gingerbread update can we use that as a 2.3 base to build roms on?

That wasn'tithe Galaxy S 4G so unfortunately no...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab running CM7

So we cant even use it as a base? We are porting vibrant roms now. I'd assume the same process would need to be done and the button mappings changed right?

I doubt it, not yet anyway... as you can tell they're having a bit of trouble porting froyo roms

Skyrocket From EVO4G

Hi guys,
I recently made a switch from sprint to att. I picked the skyrocket.
I had the evo4g from the 3rd day it was released and tried nearly every
rom there was. I am flash junkie.
What can you tell me or recomend for this new phone of mine?
I have installed CWM recovery, superuser, and titanium so far.
Not sure what rom I should try first. Feel like I was fluent in evo forum and roms. Not liking being the new kid.
Thanks in advance

You are going to love the Skyrocket! Unfortunately the EVO being out as long as it has had a much more solid dev area.
The Skyrocket is still young but really doesn't take much to make it fly.
I currently use quickwiz along with faux's kernel.
I have mish mashed some themes from the tmobile t989 section and used some bits and pieces from our devs here to really make the phone mine.
Honestly there isn't a bad rom in the dev section, they are all great

Deffinately flash red sonja rom

That has been my hesitation, very little to choose from compared to evo.
I have a friend trying to get me a beta version of vanilla 4.0 from his connects
at google.
I will be sharing if that comes through.
Thanks for the input

Flashing
While I am at it, Is it correct that flashing roms with CWM
will not trigger the counter?
And then to go back to stock just is odin to flash a stock rom?
Thanks

Correct

if you are a flash junkie I would flash all of them saving skyicecream for last because it is probably the best in my opinion and because as much as Sean(dev) releases updates, almost daily, it hard to find time to flash anything else because your curious to see what's new. any way welcome to the forum and happy flashing

[Q] What are the steps to install custom ROMs in this phone?

Hello all, I've been tweaking with my Xperia Arc and Samsung Galaxy S2 for 3 months now, but a friend of mine asked me to install a new ROM to his Inspire.
It's currently on stock. I found a nice ROM thread and read that it needed the "Radio S-Off" and I don't understand what that means.
I know I'll be able to flash the cwm, and unlock the bootloader (hopefully) but that one kept me guessing. Thanks in advance!

The steps are: Root the phone. Install Recovery. Flash custom ROM.
If you don't know what that means or how to do either of those steps, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at this point. All the information you need is already available in these threads. Do your research.

Research!! Each ROM thread the developer shows you how to flash them. There are also specific threads that teach you how in development section. Do not attempt anything with your buddies phone if you don't know what your doing or you may end up buying him a new phone.
Research and study!!!Reasearch and study!!! I myself searched and searched for weeks before I attempted anything on my phone.

You need to start off with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit to get it rooted and to get s-off.

Read the effen manual!!! At least3 times. Word for word, don't skim.

If you don't read and then you wont know if you don't know then you shouldn't be doing it. Just saying.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Read the entire effin manual more than 3 times if you need to. There is a quiz at the end. Make sure that you are in the correct thread for your phones. You have posted this on the inspire thread.

Thanks all, lol I know guys! Geez, I did my research as soon as I asked this, just sometimes asking its part of researching for me buut it's done, thanks to someone who pointed me to Ace kit on pm and here! And yes, I read the effen manual 5 times. Although Ace kit it's pretty clear and easy. I found out that this phone in particular it's bit of a different work around than my other phones(Arc, S2). I flashed him Android Revolution HD ROM and it's pretty cool, although too stockish for my liking. Thanks again guys.

AT&T Samsung SGH I727 4.0.4 ICS Root?

Hello! I have a simple question for y'all.
I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that I recently updated to ICS 4.0.4 (I727UCLF6). I was wondering how I might go about rooting said firmware/whatever to run Superuser? I don't care for a custom ROM, just stock with Superuser access. I am familiar with using ODIN as I once ran a Superuser-enabled Gingerbread. Might any of you be of help and point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it! Google has failed me in finding the information I need and it looks like a lot of the old forums are down.
If any of y'all can help, please do!

SKY ICS 4.2f6

Okaaaay... well, my apologies for ending up in the wrong forums. Sorry, I did not see a listing for the Skyrocket when looking through the different threads and such. My bad. You'll have to excuse me for not knowing my way around.
So, I see a fair share of folks makin' "oohs and ahhs", waving the good ol' e-peen about and in general being rather boisterous about a simple mistake... anybody here able to link me to something of use? Once again, I apologize for not being able to navigate the forum with ease. Perhaps a few more friendly faces and less folk simply looking to add to their post count commenting on the most mundane of errors might be of help? I would imagine there's got to be quite a few folk here who can be of service. Also to the poster who mentioned the SKY ICS, I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Though, I very well could be wrong. Still trying to get a hang of this. Perhaps a guide or walkthrough of sorts? As I said before, all I want is to root and run Superuser.
Thanks in advance!

No read the stickies up top read them all understand them then you can try and root
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Check the stickies in this section on how to flash a recovery. From there, you really only need to flash the su files. A zip can be found in the Paranoid Android post in the development section that contains just the superuser files, but at that point you can also flash any number of roms as well. Your call.

Fair enough. I suppose I'll tear through those and see what's all in them.

Full Hardware Accelleration (No Radio/Cell) = Yes
Emulated Hardware Accelleration with Working Radio = Yes
Fully Working ICS for G2X = No, and as great as the people are that are working on it are, I believe their efforts are for naught.
