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..

Can the XDA Mods or whoever please please make 2 seperate threads for this. I have a SPRINT Nexus S and i want to root and put a good rom on my NXS but after reading and reading and reading, i realize the thread is meant for the Tmobile GSM version. I am seriously just done, im confused, i dont know what threads to even go by right now. I dont know what Recovery Console, Root Method, Files, Roms are even what i should be looking for at this point. I didnt even know that Tmobile has the nexus s. I work at a Sprint Corporate store and i thought we were the only one that has the Nexus S...
Can someone shed some light for me here??
I was pretty active with my Samsung Moment over at SDX and even posted some Write-ups on rooting, theming, installing roms for the moment. Now i have the nexus s and want to do the same but this is mind boggling now that im seeing people talking about the tmobile gsm version.
So if it says 4g then it for you. If not then don't flash it. Easy as pie.

What he said. Anything that pertains to sprint version will say so on title otherwise assume its for gsm version. There are plenty of stickies with ns4g noted on title with info on roms root methods etc.
not to mention i cant even post replies in any DEV thread asking if this thread/files are meant for the sprint nexus s.

i havent seen a thread title that had "sprint" in it. so is "ns4g" pertaining to the sprint version? because tmobile has a 4G network also

Yes, the T-Mobile version is just known as a Nexus S and the phone doesn't actually support the 4G radio. It will often be referred to as the i9020, i9023 and such.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Yes it is easy to figure out which threads are for which phone, but I agree with the OP that there should be a separate forum for the CDMA and GSM versions of the phone. Especially now that the CDMA version is catching on and more and more people are jumping on the NS4G bandwagon. I hope the mods listen and separate the 2. I love my fellow T-Mobile peeps and would miss them, but it needs to be done because I can see how it would be confusing for noobs especially.

tmobile has a 4G (3.5G cough) network but nexus S GSM does not support it. CDMA NS 4G from sprint does.
The actual names are also different in that respect:
Nexus S (T-mobile GSM)
Nexus S 4G (Sprint CDMA)
As you can see 4G is the only difference in the name hence the [4G] in most thread titles.
thanks for clearing things up, im not necessarily a noob..a noob to the xda forums yes. i got really into my moment on the sdx forums but FINALLY upgraded and sdx really has nothing. its looking like the process to root and install roms/kernels/kitchens are slightly different. im seeing everything done through adb where on my moment i just flashed the android opsys + recovery.tar with the samsung updater. threw the rom.zip, bootanimation.zip, themes and modded files/update/zips on the root of my sd and updated through recovery.
anyone have a stable rom you'll recommend? whats the difference between the CM Nightly and CM7?

There is no stable for crespo4G (NS4G) but nighly 7 runs just fine. You can get it here. I also use Netarchy's kernel found here Make SURE you get the universal if you are running CM7.
Now, for stock, there is nothing better than Pete's stuff here You can also flash Netarchy's kernel but this time, you need the other one which says "for stock".
Also, be careful with which kernel you flash. Netarchy's post has many links including the GSM NS. Also, be careful with any other ROMs. We've had a case of bad ones for NS4G.
Like everyone else has been saying, in the ROM title it will show NS4g, or CDMA, or sprint. I have been browsing the dev section and have no issues. As far as a stable rom I am using Opensoju 0.2.4 and it appears to be working quite well. Read through the rom threads and see all the comments and then pick one and try it. If it is not to your liking, try another. When I had my EVO I flashed roms 10 times a day haha. It gets addicting!
I see my voice has reached higher power and there is now 2 seperate parent threads. Nexus S and Nexus S 4G (sprint) .
Anyone clear up what the difference of CM7 and The nightlies version?
You really didn't know T-Mobile had this phone first? Ive been eyeing it since they got it.

Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
I think you can use the OneClick for root, but not the ROMS, beacuse our roms are made for 3G and your phone is 4G CDMA, so, i think the radio drivers are different (but is my oppinion).
Best regards,

Thanks for your input! I also just bought a thrill and was wondering the same. The thrill is GSM on at&t actually, so perhaps roms may work too if that's the only barrier?
One click works on LG thrill I have mine rooted since I picked it up yesterday
Ok cool guys thanks, Yea I'm about to do the superoneclick I'm not seeing a forum for us yet but I'm sure it wont take long.. The roms shouldn't take to long to port drivers radio ect. So cross yo fingers for some devs!

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.

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

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??
I have a S2 i727R which is unlocked. Im trying to set it up to use it with mobilicity. its running android version 4.0.4. I also have it rooted. I searched around the forum and I tried using a few radios which I found in seperate threads. I used the t989 KID and VKI radios and I tried the Blaze 4G radio.
The problem is that whenever I flash the radio, my phone does not detect the sim card! It keeps saying Insert sim card. I even tried flashing the stock radio but the problem is still there.
Any help? thanks alothttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37144785&posted=1#

also all the radios you flashed are NOT for rogers. For rogers I've had really good reception, call quality and decent data speed with ucll3.
