I'm new to rooting and andriod in general. So far this forum has been great and I have been able to root both a nook color and nook tablet without too many issues.
I'm trying to put ICS on my wife's Sprint Nexus S 4g. I figured out to do a backup of at least the contacts. That's all I could figure out on the forums. Seems you need to be rooted before you can use titanium backup or any other full backup? Regardless, I got the contacts and that's all I'm really worried about.
Basically my question is I see all the posts for ICS have just a zip file linked. With no SD card or anything, I'm not sure where to put the zip or to extract it?
I see some general instructions in the tutorial, but they aren't really comprehensive.
I assume I browse it via usb on the computer and put the file(s) somewhere, but I cannot find a single post explaining where. I really did look. I apologize if it is everywhere and I somehow missed it, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
The phone is currently running 2.3.7. Thanks in advance.

Thanks these are a huge help. I'm still suprised there aren't more text tutorials in the posts.
Does anyone happen to know if 4G is working on any of the ICS builds or not until official release?
Look in ns4g development section. There are a handful of ics roms there. Be carefully to only flash rooms from the nexus s 4g dev section and not the nexus s.

No problem most ics roms have working 4g. I'm running vhgomez rom and everything works. I also like gummy nexus the dev added the software buttons so its like a baby nexus. Only thing is u have to flash a custom kernel that allows u to chand the back light dimmer so the hardware buttons are off.

Yes, I'm a noob. This forum can be a bit intimidating with all the forums, sub forums, and sub sub forums, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
What I've done...
Installed CWM
Made full backup using CWM
Rooted using superuser.zip
Reverted to backup via CWM
Everybody here seems to be hardcore about teaching others how to do cool things, which is awesome. However, I can't really find any solid information on how to revert back to stock.
I want to get rid of CWM, and anything else on my phone and just go back to how I got the phone from AT&T. I found the following thread, but A.) It's for Rogers, and B.) it seems a bit dated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
So if someone can confirm if the info in that thread is still good, I'll follow that. However, will the Rogers files be different than AT&T? Where can I find stock AT&T stuff and how do I remove CWM.
I'm on Android 2.3.6 right now.
Yes, I'm comfortable using Odin.

Nice. I actually just looked harder at that thread, and while the title said Rogers...it does in fact have the AT&T tar.
Everything worked great.
Hello! I have a simple question for y'all.
I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that I recently updated to ICS 4.0.4 (I727UCLF6). I was wondering how I might go about rooting said firmware/whatever to run Superuser? I don't care for a custom ROM, just stock with Superuser access. I am familiar with using ODIN as I once ran a Superuser-enabled Gingerbread. Might any of you be of help and point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it! Google has failed me in finding the information I need and it looks like a lot of the old forums are down.
If any of y'all can help, please do!

SKY ICS 4.2f6
Okaaaay... well, my apologies for ending up in the wrong forums. Sorry, I did not see a listing for the Skyrocket when looking through the different threads and such. My bad. You'll have to excuse me for not knowing my way around.
So, I see a fair share of folks makin' "oohs and ahhs", waving the good ol' e-peen about and in general being rather boisterous about a simple mistake... anybody here able to link me to something of use? Once again, I apologize for not being able to navigate the forum with ease. Perhaps a few more friendly faces and less folk simply looking to add to their post count commenting on the most mundane of errors might be of help? I would imagine there's got to be quite a few folk here who can be of service. Also to the poster who mentioned the SKY ICS, I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Though, I very well could be wrong. Still trying to get a hang of this. Perhaps a guide or walkthrough of sorts? As I said before, all I want is to root and run Superuser.
Thanks in advance!
No read the stickies up top read them all understand them then you can try and root
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Check the stickies in this section on how to flash a recovery. From there, you really only need to flash the su files. A zip can be found in the Paranoid Android post in the development section that contains just the superuser files, but at that point you can also flash any number of roms as well. Your call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Fair enough. I suppose I'll tear through those and see what's all in them.
OK so I came across a thread that said you would be able to run T-Mobile gs2 roms on skyrockets and I wanted to test it because I love the roms on the T-Mobile gs2. I grabbed the conversation file that the thread provided and I got the T-Mobile gs2 I wanted and began the process. I backed up my current rom and then wiped every thing. I flashed the rom and then the conversion file like it said. I rebooted the phone and it just sat at the Samsung boot screen. I thought it was normal so I left it there for a while and came back and it was still stuck there. Can the skyrocket really run T-Mobile gs2 roms? Did I do anything wrong in my process? I was able to restore to my previous rom so I'm not freaking out, but I really want to run the rom I found. Is there anyone that can help me? Please and thanks in advance.

Simple answer, you are flashing a TW based conversion kit to an AOKp based rom. Just use an AOSP, CM10 and alike kernel to that rom and you should be good.

If you flash something with Odin or mobile Odin, the flash counter will increase

Tripping the flash counter is only an issue though if i plan to take my tab back to the store? Or does that have implications with it even if i dont try to return it or exchange? I dont plan on returning my tab soon just currently the only available root method for the sch-i705 is by odin

The app ''TriangleAway'' by chainfire resets the flash counter. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Triangle away works amazingly well. I use it on my phone to get rid of the yellow triangle thats caused by flashing. I will use it on my tab if I ever need to send it back. Chainfire is an awesome developer.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?
so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

There isnt a whole lot of development for the 10.1 version. But all of the man stuff is there and awesome. Its very easy to root on all versions of twiz. I personally love the device. I have the 5113 version which has an infrared blaster which is very useful to me. The specs arent spectacular but I havent slowed my tab down even playing high quality games. Im currently on stock jb rooted with twrp as my recovery. I havent overclocked yet either. Dont have the need for it currently

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.
