Super Noob Trying to Root - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello everyone,
I am trying to root my rocket, which is running on 2.3.6.
I am wondering which is the easiest way to root...I know the one that uses ClockworkMod Recovery and Odin will work with 2.3.6, but I was wondering if one of the others would be easier?
First time rooter, and I just want to make sure I don't jack my phone up...
Thanks!
And, I have been referring to this thread.

I always use Odin. Read the stickies

Make sure you don't have repartition checked! ! ! Read through everything multiple times, and understand everything before you start

Haha thanks both of you, I realize that all of the answers I needed were out there, I was just so nervous the first time! (that's what she said)
And I'll try sky ics out.
Thanks for the patience, everyone.

ok so you gotta provide more information about this rooting solution you have going on. You cant just post in the dev section and expect everyone to be on your level and understand what your doing here... more info would be helpful to be clear and not have to answer the same question a billion times.
edit:
Ok I see this is for rooting your g2x using the zergrush process.. a little explanation goes a long way.. Although this should probably be in the general section since its not dev'in... just my opinion.

your missing the point.. you cant just post stuff in the dev section and have no info on it.. not everyone is fluent in geek. its not about simple instructions its about providing the most info for the end user so noobs have no issues testing your time and effort..
Or where you got it from. Unless you learned this stuff, with in a couple days, if so then Congrats.

Maybe, mind you this is a stretch, this should go in the apps/themes section above general since it does do something for the phone.

What is this? Root? Is that short for root beer? Wow its been almost a year now since I saw that topic brought up. Well thinking back the release of v21e. Hmmm what was that stuff we used to get back in the day? It is simple enough to do I guess. It is always good to have more than 1 solution. I really forgot about it being that all but 3 Rome have root.
And come on, why does it have to be a baby seal?
Does any one know if this will work on total 2.3.4? I would try but after I post I am flashing kwes's 2.3.4

My rom is already rooted. If youre on stock v21y you can easily root using super oneclick if you dont want to flash my rom, however my rom adds more then just root. Well its not my rom, I just kanged LG and made some improvisations.
On topic: OP you should really add more info to your posts if you intend on posting in the dev section. The majority of us know there are alot of easy ways to gain root, hell you can root a g2x with a scientific calculator if you put your mind to it...
Back off topic: i loled at the baby seal punching thanks.

[Q] Accidentally Flashed I777 Rom

I accidentally flashed a rom from the SGH-I777 forum. I realize how dumb this is. I just assumed...
Anyways I'm going to try the instructions here:

Use jig to force phone to go download mode and use Return to stock, fix soft brick, remember to not check repartition or it really going to brick your phone. Hope you still have a chance to recover it.

Weird occurrence

This is my first post so bear with me lol. I had previously thought about rooting my Skyrocket and had flashed Cwm recovery. I then decided against it in light of waiting for ICS ota and flashed to stock using k0nane tar file so I could receive OTA's. This did the trick to get rid of Cwm and I was able to update to 2.3.6 without issue when it became available via ota. Yesterday (month + on stock 2.3.6) I used a friends T-Mobile charger and turned my phone off for faster charging. The next thing I know I'm in download mode and even weirder I have a 1 on the flash counter and it says I'm running a custom rom.... why does it say I'm on a custom rom when I flashed stock and why would plugging my phone into a T-Mobile charger into the wall I might add not the computer put me in download mode. It reminds me of a jig, but its the standard USB cable ...
Sent from my soon to be rooted I727
it probably went into download mode because when you plugged in the charger you had the volume buttons pressed also there is a flash counter reset zip for our skyrocket so if you flash it in your recovery the counter should go away

I thought the same thing with the volume buttons and replugged the phone in while on and proceeded to shut down and same thing. Its not a big deal and when I went home I tried my old Atrix charger as well as my current Skyrocket charger and the phone simply went to the battery charging image as it is supposed to. As for resetting the count I saw that earlier today in a post by I believe cdshepard or some variation of that name. That will reset the counter but why does the stock tar show up as a custom rom? No problems to note...just curious. I need cwm and flash the zip from SD correct. (No wipes / formatting necessary?)

yeah all you need is cwm and just flash it no need to wipe and i heard that the stock tar in k0nane's thread was modified in some way when i tried it out it never worked so i just used the one from samfirmware.com
The fact that I took the 2.3.6 OTA without issue and it still said custom rom just made me start thinking. Thanks

[Q] Unroot my SGSII

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)
Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.
Hey thanks guys, i'm looking into all of this asap. I appreciate all.the responses as soon as i'm back to a computer thanks to all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

Rooting was the easy step and from experience Samsung has the easiest to root phones. Mind you i'm saying this based on the blood, sweat and tears of the devs who paved the way. This is a great community and the tools available are awesome.

Not too recently. It just happens from time to time. You get people who instead of just shaking their heads and moving on they would rather let you know that your post insults them because they took the time to read a lot of similar posts...really its as easy as saying to one self "another one, really?"

Yea, that is another option although Odin is a lot easier.
Downloading a "massive Odin package" is no big deal (I think it took me 10 minutes IIRC) unless you don't own a PC.

Samsungs are really flash friendly and it's not too difficult to de-brick with Odin.. Had two HTC phones and the entire process of rooting, unlocking the bootloader, s-off and carrier unlock seemed like more work than I ever done with a Samsung.
Root it, it's okay, really!

Try this tool to root. It is automated so it is easy and you don't have to run a script or lose your data!

Just came from a rezound. I wanna try out an aokp Rom or cm9 or something but the root process is messing with my mind. Last two phones were HTC so I'm very used to their root process. Had s off on both of them so I'm not a noob. Just wondering on how easy it is to do this on a Samsung device
Make sure after you root / odin flash a room let this be the first thing you do!!!
