If you're running fully stock, please come by the IRC channel.
In fact, any full-stock Rogers users, please come by. I want to get an Odin TAR out for you all.
Man.. once I see this out I'll finally consider rooting my phone. Unless there is another way of getting the sliding glass unlock screen .. LOL.

Are you a stock I727R user? If so, you can speed up this process by dropping by IRC and working with me to get the dumps I need.

I have a SGS II-727 Rogers. Full stock and would like to help, I just need full instructions. Actually its my second one cause the first one was stuck on the screen with the yellow triangle so I managed to exchange it from rogers for a new one.

Nope, we got it sorted. I'll have a TAR uploaded soon.
Okay, folks - an I727R TAR has been uploaded! Enjoy!

I think the stock rom could be downloaded from KIES
You can find the ZIP from temp files when re-install or update a new rom
Where can I find the stock tar? I'm new to this. I soft bricked my phone.. Galaxy S II LTE i727r from Rogers... I tried to root it odin froze.. now the phone is displaying this message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" Any help on how I can flash back to stock rom?
Ok...
All I wanted to do was flash a custom rom on my Rogers I727R so I could get on my laptops adhoc network.
FoxHound_Otacon_V1_LP4_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS.zip Seemed to be the right choice.
Rooted phone fine, but couldn't seem to get into cwg with the button combonation.
Heard of Rom Manager so ran that, it began flashing the new rom...
The linux text was in italian for some reason, and then I read errors regarding permissions?
Rebooted phone. MF Bricked.
Bought a usb jig, took about two weeks to arrive, followed the jig instructions, still cant get the phone to turn on.
Used a multimeter to check battery voltage, it's reading 3.665v, should be enough?
Any ideas? Besides having Rogers send it back to Samsung and wait 3 weeks, do I have any other options? Cheers.... ...
Nope but where did you get that rom is is a 727 or 989 rom

Yup u need jtag. Service. And also need to only flash i727 or t989 roms
*rubs eyes* f..I thought it said SG2...oh man...
What'll happen if Samsung gets ahold of it? Will they just send it back and say sol?
Sgs2 skyrocket very different then sgs2
rogers dont send your phone to samsung and make you wait 3 weeks, they send you a refurbished GS2 and a return box to put your broken phone and return it back to them. I've do this many times over the past 5 years ive been with them and they never made me wait for any repair
Man, I feel sorry for you. . However, it is not like it is "fried" or anything. A "repair" service is needed to reload the firmware etc.
EDIT: Yeah, try what polish_pat says. TELL THEM YOU TRIED AN OTA SOFTWARE UPDATE, and then the phone just died.
BUT, where the heck did you get the ROM from. Seriously, how could you even THINK of flashing something you had no clue about.
With all respect man, this is a thread all newbies should read. Even when I myself flash ANYTHING I am so tense, even after reading till I get a headache.
Contact adam outler on the forums here. Search for user "Adam Outler". PM him. He will ask you t mail your phone. He is a king in repairs. He has all kinds of hardware tools, and he won't gyp you with exorbitant prices.
Good luck !!
I thought I727r and I9100 were the same thing...argh..
I'll try rogers then on Tuesday and update.
If someone can someone point me to a good rom for I727r so I can get adhoc going when I get my phone back I'd really appreciate it, I really need wifi and adhoc is my only option where I'm located.
Got the rom from galaxys2root.com, didn't realize it wssnt for I727R.

Odin with i727r
Actually what I read here was:
"NOTE: Rogers users double check to make sure each thread you are reading is compatible with your S2 LTE (I727R) before taking action! As a general tip, the ICS leak Odin TAR files are incompatible with the Rogers S2 LTE."
Not the same thing as Odin not working on Rogers' phones.
Hello. I just bought an S II LTE on Docomo. Am I right in assuming (I decided this in a fever dream of tiredness last night, so I don't know where I saw it) that ROMs designed for this ATT version of the phone will also work on the Docomo one? I know the buttons are different, but perhaps the ROMs take that into account?
If I'm in the wrong place, does anyone know which ROMs I should be using? There doesn't seem to be much talk at all of my version. Quite worrying; don't want to stay on GB!

Have no idea what Docomo is. but compare the specs, if frequencies and such are same then u can flash. isn;t the phone called 727?
U would probably need a SIM unlock.

Do you doco users have your own kernels I bet
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
It's called the SC-03D, it's mostly the same as the Skyrocket. Docomo is the network,
Since I posted this, I tried flashing a Skyrocket ROM on to it. Since the radio frequencies are different, I couldn't use mobile internet. (calls and wifi worked fine) - and because the buttons are different (the Japanese version has a physical home button, and touch buttons for "options" (whatever it's called) and back - whenever I pressed back, it acted as if I were pressing home.
I assume (as someone who knows nothing about these things) that the button thing would relatively easy to fix in a slightly modded ROM. They're the same buttons as the first Galaxy.
Now, the real question: How easy would it be for a modder to set the frequencies? Is it just a question of changing a text file? So then: Can I help? Is there any diagnostic app I could run on my phone to get the info required in order to make this ROM happen? I'm hoping someone could slightly modify the most recent AOKP and re-pack it as a Docomo variant, with not too much time or effort on their part. If there's anything I could do (as someone who lives in Japan and has this variant of the phone), then obviously I would help as much as possible.
Does this sound to anyone like something that could actually happen?

The Skyrocket is the closest phone to mine that actually has a section on XDA. Mine is a Galaxy S2 LTE (only with different radio frequencies and different buttons on the front; everything else is the same - Skyrocket ROMs work on my phone, apart from the bits I've already mentioned), not a standard Galaxy S2.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I flashed a ROM: It's safe to assume that I know how to flash a zip file in CWM. And I wasn't rude in my response, so what's the issue?
Do you think I haven't searched for the files myself? Why do you think I'm here? I'm asking here in case people more knowledgeable than myself have come across the same or similar situations, since this phone is the most similar to mine. To be told to "google it" is hardly useful, is it? That was obviously the first thing I tried.

That's why I asked if there's a way to extract the radio and kernel from my current stock ROM.
If you can get the partitions description table for you device you can make an img for both radio and boot...
But that's not guaranteed to work however...
Number 2 if you delete radio and boot images from a stock skyrocket ROM zip you will only be flashing the system...just delete modem.img , amss.img and boot.img (never forget also to delete the recovery.img) ... This way the zip flash can't find the radio and kernel to flash them with the ROM..But I can't guarantee you'll not end up with a brick or if you're lucky with a boot loop !
I see that there are plenty of ROMs available for the P51xx's, and since the P51xx's and the 497's are both Galaxy Tab 2's, would it be possible, just to use the build.prop of the P51xx's on a 497's rom?

The Canadian SGH-i497 (ROM appears on sammobile but I cannot find reference to a Canadian Tab2) may support phone calls and sms messaging. I downloaded the Odin ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20711
And checked inside and it seems to have the proper files. Since the i497 has practically no support on XDA I have been reluctant to install it. But recently another member posted the ATT 4.1.2 so I was thinking of giving it a try in the near future.
Canadian version is listed on Samsung of Canada but that is about it. No info is given. Why would they release a ROM for a tablet that just doesn't seem to exist?

I have a I497 as well but it is for Digicel Jamaica, anyone knows if the AT&T or Canadian 4.1.2 Rom would work on it? I'm thinking they should all be compatible since they are all sgh-I497.

AT&T gave us one for signing up for their cable service. sad to know that no custom roms available.
was able to get it rooted. was going to be a fancy toy anyways. amazing how under-powered this thing is.
I just wound up selling mine, wasn't worth it. If I remember right there was a Rom, but it was only a stock one that had the AT&T junk removed.

Yeah go for it and flash to your hearts desire. If anything, always make sure your phone is charged all the way, and be sure to either have the factory images handy, or your nandroid backups. This phone is amazing so put it through its paces and try out the different ROMs and kernels...for me stock is fine except I flashed franco's kernel to improve battery life.
