Hello everyone!
My dad just got a Samsung Galaxy s2 LTE from Rogers and we're trying to get it to work with a different carrier. With that carrier we will be paying 40$ instead of the Rogers 80$ and he needs a phone (apperantly the radio/modem has to be reprogrammed for 1700). Can someone on here that has done this before with a Rogers phone help?
Can anyone help us with a step by step tutorial on how to install Android 4.0? I've read what I could, but the language is a little too technical for me and I don't understand everything. I don't want to accidentally break it.
My dad doesn't understand anything in electronics, but I think I with proper instruction I can do this (I'm 16).
Thanks!

I have read that thanks! But according to people in this forum its a bit of a more difficult process with Rogers phones, you have to do something with the antenna/modem and stuff...

Hi, been reading here for ages, but n00b videos and such have stopped me joining, but now I feel confident enough to move up to a custom ROM with instructions I'm able to follow.
I have a Galaxy S currently running JVQ Europe, although I'm in Australia.
I'd like to use MilkyS MOD but have a question or two first.
Will this go on JVQ?
Lagfix: Am I right in assuming that if I haven't added this, it's not there?
You talk of two versions, Odin and CWN, would one be easier for me than the other?
Please be patient with an old man. I did manage to root this phone when I upgraded 2.2 with 2.3.4 JVP, then JVQ, and I managed to get them on OK, I also changed the region code to Europe ..... but that's the extent of my "knowledge".
As far as I know, although I rooted JVP, I haven't rooted JVQ, so my phone isn't rooted, does this mod root, or need rooting first?
Thanks, Billy
if you post in the galaxy s forum, im sure you will get an answer
Hi all,
I'm noob here and i was wondering if anyone know where to get the at&t Stock
ROM. I flashed mine and can't get any other ROM to work on it. please, if you
know any ROM that would work or worked on yours, point me ! Steps on how to
do it, is a big help.
Thank you in advanced
i saw your post over in the i777 forums indicating that you had a skyrocket.
WHICH DEVICE DO YOU HAVE?
this forum section is for the i727 SKYROCKET
if you have a i777 it DOES NOT HAVE A SKYROCKET moniker.
if you dont even know what device you have, you should probably figure that out. its not hard to figure out just by looking at some google images, or even take the battery out and look at the model number.
you seriously shouldnt even be flashing a damn thing to your phone if you have no idea what device you have.....

Or just looking at the "About phone" menu in "Settings."
I'm afraid he's right about you're not quite being up to "flash speed." But... the necessary information and knowledge is not hard to come by. Spend a few days reading before bricking your phone. It's worth taking the time.
Wow..........not sure what else.to say just wow.
At least he admitted to being a noob.
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket running Sky Ice Cream Sandwich.
Wow... This place is called xda DEVELOPERS for a reason.
IMO an IQ test should be a necessary part of becoming a member
If you have the skyrocket. I727 then the stock tar can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Make sure you do infact have the skyrocket I727 before attempting to flash this though.
is there an att stock file please.
I looked but couldn't find one

I own a ROGERS s2 LTE sgh-i727r it has ics and i want to root it so I can use titanium and or cwm to perhaps install cyanogen
Why can I not find simple dam instructions on how to do it for my exact device? I had it rooted prior to the ics update but now the simple 1 click root programs don't work.
I hate all this and just want to find a simple exe to help me root so i can go forward. I know about comps (I am a university comp science student) and the truth is I just want simplicity for this.
Can someone link me or direct me to USEFUL info plz. Hell I can't even find rogers devices on this site. Only a at&t skyrocket similar mdoel

It seems like the AT&T Skyrocket and the Rogers shg-i727r are interchangeable. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268

I had to search a long time last weekend to get PagePlus on my i535, but I was surprised I flashed it without my SIM installed.
Right now I can make calls and text without the SIM which I couldn't do with my LG Lucid on PagePlus (a 4G phone). I don't know if I went the hard way with flashing my Lucid to PagePlus by keeping the SIM installed, or if it's just the different phone.
For those that use PagePlus on your S3, do you have the SIM installed?
If it's the case that no one else has an S3 on PP without a SIM< I could make instructions on how to flash the S3 with the SIM.
Edit: I could be very noob by writing this, but oh well I'm curious.
Fellow noob here. I would *love* a guide (or even just some guidance/pointers to relevant threads/material) on flashing a Verizon S3 to PP. I'm on PP now with an old enV3 that is about ready to bite the dust and have been looking into upgrading, but the amount of information to parse and grok is just mind-boggling. I'm a programmer by profession so I have no trouble getting down and dirty -- just would really appreciate some help in the right direction. Even a brief overview of the entire flashing process would be helpful.
tl;dr - +1 for a guide!

Hey lol,
Flashing 4G phones to a 3G only network is tricky business and it's a pain in my experience. I can make a guide for sure sometime for the S3.
I would love to have a guide also! That would help me alot....:good: can you pm me the instructions?

I'll probably make a whole guide on who to do it and post it here.
Hi,
I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I will start here and see where it leads me. Not sure what type of processor the USA phones have.
I am currently using an SM-G930V Galaxy S7 phone originally bought from Verizon, but now used on MetroPCS. (USA)
Since MetroPCS uses T-Mobiles network, I wanted to flash my phone over to t-mobile, so I can get band 12, etc. and get better utilization / reception from the phone.
My concern is that I have never done this process before, and do not want to brick my phone.
I do have my current configuration backed up, using smart switch on my laptop.
Has anybody developed a guide, or instructions?
How difficult, or simply is the process?
How safe / risky is doing it?
Can I actually ruin my phone trying to do this?
Which software version do I use? the U version, or the T version?
Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions you may have to offer

Yes a lot of people have made multiple tutorials for this, and they are all over this forum if you read some threads
If you don't like that answer, imagine how annoying it is for long term members here to have to keep typing out the exact same instructions every day to new members who don't read anything
heres a link for the U firmware QD2 update just download that and odin and use odin to update your phone. Its perfectly safe to use the U firmware on all US variants. Any questions don`t be scared to ask.

Asking questions is fine if they are questions that are not easy to know / find the answers to, or you're having a problem
It's a joke when you come to XDA and make a new thread asking how to flash your phone, that info is literally all over this forum, it just shows laziness
