Database Info

just so i got this straight

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

Getting 4G on Skyrocket using T-Mobile

So I'm new to all this root stuff and what not and yes I have searched but all of them just say flash this radio do cwm do this and do that. But I don't know how to do that because I'm new so it would really help me if you could guide me through the process of getting 4G on my Skyrocket. Right now I am in version 2.3.5 Android, rooted and that's it. Thank you guys!

Skyrocket lacks the 1700Mhz band so previously it wouldn't have worked on T-mobile 4G (3G-extend)
But the New 4G band (1900Mhz), I'm not sure it would work or not.
(Some articles said that you can flash t-mobile's radio to active it.)
Just make sure you had an unlocked one.
And try to CWM it!

I do have an unlocked Skyrocket using it on T-Mobile right now but only getting edge. I unlocked it with an unlock code from eBay. But how could I CWM it? And what is that? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

If you read the stickies you would know. It's a recovery you need to flash things like roms, radios, etc..

Yes you can flash T989 ROMs on I727, the steps are:
Flash ROM (T989)
Flash modem (T989)
Flash kernel (I727)

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

thank you sir.
so based on what I can try the Blaze radio and just see if it works good for me? Would I be able to do a Direct Download of the radio and just flash from CWM?

Yes any 989 radio should work on our rockets just like our radios just grab a flashable radio and do your thing but again remember APN

No it will brick it

A common mistake on this forum. All ROMs must be device specific.

Now one last question, since the T-Mobile S2 (Hercules) is the same phone as Skyrocket is it possible to get those ROMs working on the Skyrocket? Or because of the different networks it will not work?

You have to flash the fix (there should be one in the dev forum), but there have been Herc roms that have worked in the past. Do your research, though, and be cautious.

As someone else mentioned yes u can, but u dont have to flash a compatibility package to make them work. Once u flash the t989 Rom before rebooting flash a kernel ( DAG or flapjacks new aosp kernels, either one) as well.as a skyrocket radio, and THEN reboot. Change apn to enable mms and internet/data and you're.good to go
