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

[q] can the skyrocket be used on tmobile 4g?

I was wondering if the skyrocket can be used on tmobile 4g i heard it had a programmable radio so it could be used on tmobile 4g is this true and if so can you pls link me to the page that has the info on it thank you to anyone who can help!!! :d

almost positive thats a NO.. maybe unlocking it which would probably cost you if even available..

I'm 100% positive that's a yes. Here's a basic writeup as I couldn't find the thread from my phone
sim unlock phone (there's threads on this but basically go to any unlock Site and buy a skyrocket code)
flash cwm
flash a radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20984406
I recommend blaze 4G radio
flash a t989 rom.
that's it, ur done.

hi man, could you give me a combo of Which rom + radio + kernel that use to get 3g/4g on and unlocked i727 using a Tmobile sim?
Links would be highly appreciated

i727 skyrocket
A man i was wondering did you ever get that radio to pick up 4g on your unlocked skyrocket? Because i am trying to figure out how to get 4g on mine.

I have 4g on T-Mobile. Just set the apn correctly. It was a little more difficult to do in the past but now you can just install CM9 the apn is already there for you. You just have to pick it. The blaze radio worked the best.

[Q] Rogers i727R identical to Skyrocket?

I have a question about the Rogers Samsung Galaxy S II LTE. Is it completely identical to the AT&T S II Skyrocket?
In terms of roms and compatibility, they should be the exact same?
I would think that they would be the same, but the slight variation on model numbers throws me off.
(i727 vs i727R)
Thanks for your help.

they r not exactly the same, kernel radio and rom r different, but u can tweek to get stuff working on i727r if it was made for i727(att)
as an example, i had to replace one file in faux's kernel to get it stable on my i727r
as far as hardware they could be exactly the same (im 99.9% sure they r), but the software(kernel, radio, rom ) r written different for each carrier so it can work for ur carrier

Exact same phone all you need is your apn there are threads everywhere about this you can flash anything the skyrocket has just don't try any one click Odin leaks for the skyrocket on your rogers they don't work

So is the poster before you is incorrect, I assume? Otherwise, it seems like anything Skyrocket will work with the Rogers S II, which is what it seems like you're saying.

Actually no, he's partially right. In reference to the i727R not being completely compatible with radios, kernels and such, yes he is incorrect. As for needing to change one file in one of faux's kernels to to function he is correct.
Awhile back I posted a fix on this, but basically the init.qcom. post-boot file didn't have the correct identifier with the R present, and was incompatible with tpc v3, Rogers version. Replacing the identifier fixed the issue.

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
