I have a skyrocket SAMSUNG-SGH-I727, I have Adnroid version 2.3.6 , Baseband version I727UCKJ2, Kernal Version 2.6.35.14, Build number DJ-ICS-PLUS-2.0
The rom works ok but I am having call quality issues. I show 3 or 4 bars but EVERYONE I talk to says I sound gargly and I get texts returned saying failed to send. Some go some do not. Obviously the radio has issues. Is there a fix for this or should I flash a new rom? HELP!?!
Well the first thing you should do is go the the Skyrocket forums and ask your question there. You will be far more likely to find your answer there

Has it been doing that ever since you got it? If so you might want to try calling tech support and see if they can update your phone settings to ur local network. You could also try a custom rom to see if that might change your radio or something. There is an official ICS leak you might want to try. But there is other custom roms that are based of a stock skyrocket rom.

Hi everyone.. i was wondering if someone could guide me in this new world of SCL lol..
i have one with KB1 baseband and i wanted to install darkgen.. will i have any problem flashing it ?
do i have to update the baseband first ?
or i just have to install a rom with my baseband, and that's all i can do to my phone ?
i had a Galaxy 5, and some basebands didn't work propperly where i am (argentina).. i found the original stock Froyo rom with KB1 and just the baseband of KB3..
WHAT CAN I DO ? haha..
thanks

since i am not yet allowed to post in the developer section of the xda-developers forum, i wanted to ask my question here. since one of the first builds of cyanogenmod for the galaxy ace appeared, i had installed it.
the installation went fine, but seeing as though the proximity meter did not work, wifi had some problems, and multiple apps were randomly crashing from time to time, i was forced to fall back to the stock android.
since then a couple of new nightlies came out for this phone (one of them is rather recently released). the official thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521 .
what i wanted to ask is if there is anyone out there that tried the latest nightly build, to confirm the problems i named above are all solved.
the second question i had is, if i have a galaxy ace with baseband version xwks2, can i just flash a rom with baseband ks9 on it for example?
any help would be greatly appreciated, and i would like to apologise i could not leave a comment in an existing thread.
go to cwr and wipe date, wipe cache again, it's may have some wrong when you install this rom ?
but i think cm7 on galaxy ace is not work well, you can try myth, i thinks it's best rom for galaxy ace
sorry for my bad Eng
will do
thanks a lot there nicknayemclone ,
i have alreadyy tried wiping the cache and dalvik and everything, but the problem keeps occuring. the annoying thing is, if i use the stock android i also have slight lags(same thing when i just bought it). i have heard about myth, but i would like my rom to be as close to vanilla android 2.3 as i can get . myth seems like its to hard on my phone to run as smooth as cyanogenmod

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock
Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

Starting advice please
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 quite a few years ago but would like to check out other ROMs. Doing some research I found that the sgh-i727 is NOT the skyrocket version. I'm not exactly sure how they are distinguished, but I do know they are different because I went to install [AOSPA's] Lollypop 5 only to discover the message that it was designed for the i727.skyrocket and that I have a i727 (just the plain vanilla version).
I'd like to keep using it but I want a newer ROM for it. Can anyone here who knows the difference recommend a ROM they know will work on the s2 that is not the skyrocket?
By the way, I always thought I had a Skyrocket. I believe it was sold to me as such for all I can recall. Under the battery it does in fact read just sgh-i727 with no R or anything after it.
Thanks.

OK, but then Paranoid/Android [AOSPA]'s custom ROM has an error in it. I have the link, but am not permitted to post it.
I used that one and it gave me the error mentioned - that the ROM was for an sgh-i727.skyrocket and my device was an sgh-i727 (without the skyrocket qualification).
Thanks anyway. I'll try Sultan's.

it will/should give u the same error as install scripts should be the same
i repeat :best guess ur using a non skyrocket rom. the one ur on now not the new one ur trying to flash.
what does it state(phone model) in settings>about
reason: ur current rom is not using the proper model name for ur phone, new rom is looking at that and stating it will not flash itself on to phone.
its about software not hardware, easy fix if u truly have a sgh-i727.
for a newb though it would just be simpler to flash stock jellybean w/odin then flash twrp or cwm recovery w/odin then flash whatever new rom u like.

Thank you. I have read sickies and researched. I have a Samsung Model SGH-i727. Its current Android version is 4.1.1.
It as originally an AT&T un-rooted phone. I terminated my contract after the period and went with other carrier but my phone kept using all the factory ATT apps. So, I rooted it. I was able to get the 4.1.1 using Cyanogen Mod 9.
It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'd like to try to install a newer OS version, maybe 4.4 or even 5 if possible.
Every version I've found here has not worked for me.
I have gone as far as reformatting my SD card, wiping with DARKSIDE, doing the complete wipes, Dalvik (reminds me of Dr. Who's Daliks) wipe, and tried to flash different ROMs found here.
Have CWMR Touch v.5.5.0.4.
My latest version loads Cyanogen Mod 9 and then the Android 4.1.1. I've asked for anyone to point me to a custom ROM they know works on the sgh-i727, but have gotten no answer. Guess I'll just have to keep searching and failing until one works.
I appreciate experienced people's impatience with newbees. I happen to be very experienced in my field, but I don't mind helping and mentoring less experienced people.
The CWM recovery your running is not compatible with 4.4 or 5.0 and will not install either one. Always go with the latest recovery. That is most likely why you're having trouble.
