just so i got this straight - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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.

thanks for your help. know about flashing the radio. im wondering more about the roms and kernel info more. i do appreciate your help.

Yes u can use t989 roms. U just need to use a skyrocket kernel. Or the auto rotation. Will not work properly

could i use a stock rom or would you suggest something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380682

Yeah that's a good kernel. That's probably your best choice for a gingerbread rom...
Ics roms only have 2 kernels. Romracer and mohave

thanks. i ask so much cause i just get so nervous i will have a fancy paper weight. lol

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

You really shouldn't post this in Dev unless it was an official release and checked out. It is already in general where it belongs for this moment.
2nd it has a password, which you didn't even include: sampro.pl , which already makes it quite suspicious.
How do u flash this rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Don't, that simple. It is NOT a working Infuse 4g ATT Gingerbread rom.
I have a buddy who works for ATT and apparently they're testing it right now, He said possibly within the next week. Believe me or not, your choice. All im telling you is info i have received
You should remove this before too many people try to flash a rom that doesn't work.

what do you mean it's not real? it just hasnt been finalized. it just has the galaxy s shutdown animation, and is missing bootloaders. it is an infuse rom that works nearly perfectly. you can root it with the custom kernels on the forum and flash the stock kernel back to it to get hdmi support back.

I don't know why you're being so adamant about this. Encouraging the inexperienced to install an unfinished rom is pretty much begging them to make mistakes and have a hard time.
The guy that posted the original link in General hasn't exactly been a fountain of information.
im not encouraging, just saying what it is. and it is not a galaxy s rom any more than ucke3 is a galaxy s rom. it isn't fake. it isnt for another phone. it isn't complete or official but it is an infuse rom. oh and the camera records @30fps. so it isnt something somebody mashed to gether and changed the build.prop to fool us either.

t989 to skyrocket conversion

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.

GB or ICS?

So I'm having difficulties deciding between the two. Which has better features and more stable roms? Also will having rogers version i727r make a difference? Don't wanna brick on my first flash. Any help is appreciated
I use SKY ICS.... I was reluctant at first, but since I switched it's been better than his GB ROM. Make the switch, you won't regret it.
EDIT: You caught me! LOLOL Well played.
I understand that there is still no fix for the Caller Name/ID issue on Rogers with ICS. That has held me back so far.

Is this the part where you get flamed for posting a question in the general forum? Fishy, very fishy...
I have been holding off from ICS because of the caller id issue. Flashed a couple roms from the first leak but went back to GB.
The cwm roms worked fine just found the caller id a make or break issue.

I was on CM7 for a while. Flashed Sean's rom on the Mrs SR and she's loving it. Gave it a go and haven't looked back. Another great rom is MODs ICS release. Try both and see which fits u best.

damn... smh coupled with face palm
The ICS roms are fun for about 5 seconds, then you realize that every variation of the ICS leak is the same.

On ATT Service, I should have mentioned that...
That rom is a little buggy. I tried flashing a tmo ics rom, then a tmo radio, then a skyrocket kernal. No luck. Any suggestions or this only work w gingerbread??? touchwiz??

T-Mobile+Skyrocket(stock)= what radio

Ok so i have an AT&T Skyrocket, rooted but other wise stock on t-mobile. The edge speeds are killing after a few days, I can't get another phone at this time and my skyrocket is in perfect shape. The phone is rooted but otherwise stock on GB, of all the threads I searched, none speak about using a stock ROM and kernal with a different radio? I am wary of bricking my phone and had asked for help from some one local but that was a no go. So I am going to try and flash the radio myself, if I can find one that works nicely with stock ROM and kernal?? I have read of people using the Blaze radio and the UVLG3 from a Tmo note, I can't for the life of me find the thread though. But none talk about stock ROM and or kernal, any help would be great
Edit 1: will this radio work on GB? Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD ...... Direct DL, CAN BE USED FOR T-MOBILE/WIND ON ICS
Radios are a different piece of firmware and are not affected by ROM or kernel so as long as the radio is compatible and your APN is correct it will work no matter the ROM
