Just wondering....if anyone is using this. Can u flash a att kernel after u flash the conversion. The stock kernel stinks. Slow. no BLN support. Thanks
Udon't really need that conversion kit. Just flash the t989 rom u want in cwm and flash the kernel u like best right after, then reboot. faux 010m is my favourite, then reboot. As a precaution though, make sure you read all the threads kn flashing in the dev section before u brick ur phone
The kit merely contains a stock at&t SR /boot and a gps.conf file. Nothing special.

Might b a stupid question but is there any way to flash a 989 rom and use the kernel with it instead of flashing a 727 kernel? Or is that brick city? Kernels always scared me
Shouldn't brick but you will have unique screen orientation till you flash a kernel that's made for your device like what was just linked on the page before this

Already did. Its OK. Flashed beastmod ex 5.0. Not as fast as it probably should b because of the difference in kernel. Was just curious what would happen if I tried to run it the way it comes. Thanks
Yeah, beastmod looks nice, but u be able to get LTE, or even 4g, without a t989 radio

If you are already flashing things in CWM, flashing a kernel is cake, like my name says. Just honestly, flash the ROM, wipe the caches, flash the kernel and do a jig. If anything goes wrong you'll still be able to boot back into CWM and re-flash something else. As long as you aren't using ODIN to flash a boot / kernel you have nothing to worry about.

Since I am kind of new, but have flashed a few ROM's to date with no issues, I wanted to ask before I fubar'd something.
Also, I have searched for the answer to this question but I have yet to find a clear cut answer.
When flashing a different kernel to a ROM, I download the kernel in .zip format and place it on my SD. I boot into red recovery. Do I just flash the kernel like I would a ROM with the exception of clearing DATA/CACHE? Same goes for modems?
I appreciate any help anyone is willing to offer.
TIA
Yes or you can get SMS Kernel flasher from the market and not worry about going into recovery unless your flashing a modem or rom
Big Dog Infuse I997 ZEUS rom!!!
Cool, I will try that. Thanks!
Your answer forces me to ask another question in regards to flashing modems.
When/if I need to flash a modem is that when I need to go into red recovery and install zip from SD or is there a special procedure for flashing a modem? If so, I will go looking for the specific instructions.
However, if you cared to post them in a response I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA
Just flash modem from recovery

Some kernels also allow for overclocking/undervolting but give up bt and/or HDMI out

i got an idea for us canadians. how about someone make a backup of boot.img through cwm and go into external sd card where it saves it and post that recovery cause i think we might be able to flash it this way .. again just a thought if it doesn't work you can close this thread please & thanks.

same here because i know if u flash via cwm atleast it'll bypass and install recovery otherwise it might not work worse case we can go back to 2.3 for time being..

Someone should do a fresh install of ICS through ODIN and then make a nandroid before doing anything with the ROM so it's pretty much clean

i just picked up a rooted and unlocked skyrocket. now i have been reading a lot of the how to's and other mods for the phone. to clarify though i can run any t989 rom or any i 727 skyrocket rom on the phone? also all i need to do is flash the tmobile radio pack for 3/4 g on tmobile?
i wont do anything until i get confirmation. no need to brick my shiny new white skyrocket lol.
any other tips ideas would be helpful and awesome!!!
I'm pretty sure you should only flash at&t from if you have at&t, and T-Mobile if you have T-Mobile. The carrier settings usually come with the rom, so if you have at&t and flash a T-Mobile you probably won't get any connectivity.
Just my thought, but I'm no dev. Do a search on the forums.

just use. Cwm touch recovery. It is much better then previous versions.
Do a nandroid backup before.
And as long as u stay in the skyrocket and t989 section you'll be fine.
Almost all people brick. Doing thing they shouldn't. Or flashing stuff from a diff device.
The t989 is almost identical to our device

hi...im new to xda but i really think you guys could help me with this...im kinda a newbie to this...but my question is can i download the s3 rom and flash it to my skyrocket...i have cwm and everything but i never downloaded or flashed a rom on my skyrocket yet...i really wanna noe if i can download the s3 rom n flash it to my skyrocket...thanx guys
if this is possible please link me to a download for it thnx
The rom's provided in the developer section are the only roms that are compatable with the Skyrocket or i727. I dont believe there are any mirror roms of the S3. There are roms with features from S3 though.
thank you...hopefully it will come out soon though...thats the only rom that seems to interest me unfortunately
Flashing an s3 rom on the skyrocket is a sure fire way to brick your phone. I recommend reading some of the stickies in the General section, which should have this answer among others.

It's a custom kernel that allows oc, uv, and bln. You should really read some more before doing any flashing.

Mohans drains battery faster from my experience. Even under clocked and under volted. If you don't care about bln, grab the other kernel.

I am running the non-mohan kernel on mine and wifes phone. It is the smoothest, best battery life, ICS I have ran. Like other wise men said, just read the post, download required software, and go! It is quite easy, even from an old farts' perspective.
BTW, would not hurt to make nandroid backup of current state before trying.
ODIN is your friend!
Cyanogenmod started doing nightly builds for the skyrocket, i'm running it right now. The lock screen tends to lock up for a few seconds, but otherwise a very stable build. No FCs so far.

Yes after you flash R1 boot up wait like 10 minutes and flash R4. The R3 is just something he forgot to change. I am using this rom right now and I love it.
