[Q] Help with Gingerbread installation...

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.

Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

Agreed, but in your earlier post, you gave some good links that show how to get started. If he reads the information in those threads, and tries out rooting stock Froyo, installing the modified recovery, and flashing some custom roms, that post shouldn't be too hard to follow.

So, you have a custom kernel with CWM and everything working with UCKK4 in catyrom?
I figured we would have to wait until AT&T / Samsung released their Gingerbread source to compile a completely working kernel. Can you point me in the direction of a custom kernel w/ CWM that has video and everything working in stock rooted UCKK4?

Yes..that was then this is now...lol...with some mods to some jars and framework it will work...learned that myself...

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!

Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

I'm sure what I've done is no new news to the other devs

The brick bug Stock ICS

Does the new ICS for the att version of the skyrocket have a safe kernal or is it still at risk of having the emmc corrupted?
Update: it seems the brick bug is in the stock ics 4.0.4 , use caution when wiping back to factory. Entropy512 has informed me that the att rom has the mmc_cap_erase command in a host file where rogers does not. I will update as soon as more info becomes available to me.

Wipe internal in the rom and let us know

You are incorrect as from what I understood from your original post you were on a rooted gb rom and flashed back to stock in order to update via kies. 1st off, gb kernels aren't an issue and 2nd, Odin is a safe work around the brick bug issue.
No where in here do u say that u went into the settings on ics and performed a factory reset. That will be the true test
Edit: I revisited your post and see youbdidnt specify gb vs ics but even if u were on ics and went back to stock this wouldn't be a problem through Odin

I didn't read anything offensive. I was just trying to wrap my head around what u were talking about. I understand now. As I stated in my previous post though the gb kernels were not affected.
To anyone in "the know", I assume brick bug had been addressed and the kernels fixed but can anyone actually CONFIRM this? Thanks

Just out of curiousity, is there some specific reason you need 2.1? If you're just wanting to go back to it for nostalgic reasons, I think that the one-clicks in Development section are the only way to go right now.
If you're just trying to go back to stock for warranty purposes, I believe that AT&T officially pushed out the Gingerbread update, so you could flash that one and take it in.

If you're only going to be going to a Jellybean rom, you could also just download a Gingerbread-based stock one-click from the development section (with bootloaders) and flash that. It would get rid of the 3e error, and give you the bootloaders you'll need to flash anything else as well.
As always, be careful when flashing bootloaders, though. Make sure you have a good connection to you computer.

help with the sgh-1727r (rogers canada version of skyrocket)

Hi, I just got a S2 LtE rogers version sgh-1727r
I looked for a while and maybe you can help me quicker.
I am on GB and wonder what a good rom is for this ? ( i need otg, and other features, but like stable)
How can I root this on a mac (the easiest way) and is it the same as the ATT version ?
Thanks everyone ! I hope I am not cluttering up the board as i am sure the answers are there somewhere but my slow internet is bluetooth over a blackberry so as you imagine i am kind of having a hard time.
I am a noob to this

Use kies to upgrade to ics. Then read the stickies in the i957 development section. That'll get you started.

Hi blendobass!
The correct model # is SGH-i727r. CyanogenMod 10 has USB OTG and is stable.
Read this thread for how to get CWM which you will need to flash CyanogenMod.
Or you could do as jd1639 says, update to ICS over kies. However i don't know if stock ICS has USB OTG enabled or not. The model he is referring to (i957) is nonexistant so i don't really know what he's talking about. Reading the stickies in the i727 forum won't hurt though.
Good Luck!

My mistake on the i957 (it's att tab 8.9) meant the i727 in my post. I have both devices.

Are you using vincom's superlite rom? If so you probably need to flash the gapps package to get Google and play. Did you back up anything before you installed cm10 and of so what did you use.

No I just flashed CM10 and it is so smooth, I am comparing with a NExus 4 right beside it and it is almost as just as responsive pretty stoked about it, glad i upgraded this and it feels like the vanilla android everyone talks about.
I don't think i can restore from backup as i messed up a bit flashing the rom (didn't clear the cache and stuff in the right ordeer so I think my last rom on there might have GB but I would hate to go back and mess with everything now, maybe I will just dig around for a good package to flash with all the google apps, just not sure what one to trust or if it will give me all the new google features (athough I don't like google now)
thanks guys and if any noobs are totally clueless like me about how to get your Rogers LTE S2 from old GB to unlocked and JB with Cm-10 I don't mind helping you out, it is confusing but once you do it, it all makes sense and I could now prob do it in a half hour while having a beer.

Dude, you have a pretty phone that doesn't do anything. You need to flash a gapps package for it do anything more than make phone calls whether you like Google or not. Before you do anything else read vincom's stickies in the development section. If you read them close enough you might find the gapps package you need. After you do the reading and if you have questions then ask.

how do you know you dont like google now, if you were coming for gb you never tried it, its the best app google has ever made, imho, its really not confusing if you read a few of the "updated stickies", but looking at your profile you should at least know of gapps, i didnt list the gapps packages because each dev has there own preference for their rom, and team chopsticks still recommends the 0726 on their website

CM 10 install abort on SGH-I727R from Rogers
I have a SGH-I727R from Rogers (Samsung Galaxy II S LTE). Thanks to the great information I've found from some of you, I successfully installed CWM 5.8.1.3 using Odin and rooted so I could back up with Titanium backup.
When I tried to install the Skyrocket zip for Cyanogen mod 10.0.0, the install (from CWM) was aborted. It seems to check for SGH-I727 but not with the extra R. So I'm stuck at the moment.
I'm digging and digging through the forums as someone has to have run into this before me. Just in case anyone notices my post and doesn't mind pointing me in the right direction, I would be grateful. Thank you.

If it aborted, the likely culpret is that you didn't do an MD5 hash check on your rom download.
Check vincom's stickies, you'll find a md5 checker in there. The site you got it from will have the hash # on that page. Download, and check it twice. Once on your computer and again once you have transfered it to your device. "Dev-Host" is notorious for borking downloads.

Not the m5sum

If it aborted, the likely culpret is that you didn't do an MD5 hash check on your rom download.

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately that isn't it. md5sums match website/computer/sd card on phone.
The error I see during install seems pretty clear. It shows the installer checking build properties and device properties. It looks to be checking for various device strings like skyrocket and SGH-I727. My device from Rogers is SGH-I727R so doesn't match causing the install abort.

Update cwm to sk8's newer one or use twrp
if using cm10 for skyrocket, it will install on att and rogers phones without problems

Trying to install CM10.1. Issue on intallation. Now what!?

I rooted my phone with out issues. Then I installed CWMR without issues. I wiped data/factory reset, then wiped the partition. When I tried to install the ,zip, I got an:
getprop("ro.build.product") == "
skyrocket"
E:Error in /emmc/cm-10.1-2013072
1-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
It is still sitting here in recovery mode, as I'm afraid to reboot it. What should I do?
Thanks!
Courtney (Mr.)

how did u root before you installed cwm
are you sure you have a skyrocket model # i727

Well I tried it again, this time using the latest stable version instead of the latest nightly. Same results. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Courtney

Yes, I have an i727 Skyrocket.
Here's what I did to obtain root:

I downloaded Titanium backup afterward and it said I have root.
Courtney

Goomanager > twrp 2.5 > cm10.1.
Need more info than that, read stickies

I already have CWM on the phone, although it is obviously an older version. Can I use the .zip file on this page to update CWM by installing it in CWM recovery? I read the stickie, but it did not mention this specifically. I would prefer CWM over TWRP snce I'm unfamiliar with TWRP.

IS THIS even the latest version? I found the link in the stickie, so I assume.

Yes 6.0.33 is the newest version and you can find it in the developers section. Yes you can install the.zip like you normally would. I hope this answers your questions

I installed the latest CWM recovery, then I got another abort trying to flash CM. This time it is telling me that I need a newer radio. I read through the stickies, but nothing was listed. Here's what I found in the Development forum:
5: RADIOS/MODEMS
Quote:
RADIO aka MODEM aka BASEBAND=Amss.bin & Mdm.bin.
The Radio Does Not Get Wiped During A Cwm/twrp Wiping Process.
The Radio Does Not Get Backed Up By Cwm/twrp Backup(nandroid) Method.
For Custom Roms The Radio Is A Seperate Flashable File Unless The Rom Dev Includes It In Their Rom.
What Ever Radio You Had Before Flashing A Rom Will Still Be Your Radio.
What Ever Radio You Had Before Restoring A Backup Will Still Be Your Radio.
Flashing A Full Stock Firmware W/Odin Will Replace Your Existing Radio (Amss.bin & Mdm.bin) And Ril/Csc Files.
Ril And Csc Files Do Get Backed Up & Restored Through Recovery.
Some Flashable Radio Zip Files Come With Ril And/or Csc Files - Since They Are Restored And As Such May Improve<>Impede Functionality Of A New and/or Existing Radio When Restoring A Backup.
Afaik Mohan_kr's Radios Do Not Include Ril/Csc Files.
Roger's radios are RAT Unlocked, which means the Network Mode in settings will work.
ATT radios are RAT Locked, Network Mode changes will have NO effect.
Flash Radio Twice W/out Cable Plugged In
WHAT IS RIL: A Radio Interface Layer (RIL) is a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem.
WHAT IS CSC: the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider. CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support.
i727(r) freg's:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
> 4G=LTE ON CM < ON CM AND ITS DERIVATIVES, AOKP, AOCP, PARANOID, ETC, THE 4G ICON IS THE LTE SIGNAL

? In reading the posts on the link, it appears this is correct.
Next, I'm unclear (yes, UNCLEAR as I'm NOT as experienced as many of you are) as to his instructions:
* Upload to your device.
* Check md5sum (download link has the md5sum)
* Usual flashing precautions should be taken.
* Choose zip from CWM.
* Flash.

I don't think anyone is calling you a baby and yes everyone does take "baby steps" but you want someone to spoon feed you then when you brick it, it will be everyone else fault but your for not reading. Do you have any idea what you are doing anyway?

Again, I've read the stickies. About 8 times now. In fact, I read though all of them again before posting to be sure the radio issue wasn't covered in the sticky, because if it was, I knew I'd get some condescending response.
Back in October, I bought my first Android phone. It was an i897 Captivate. I liked it very much but was not pleased with the fact that GB 2.3.5 was the best I would every get in an OS. I found this site, registered on the forum, and began researching custom ROMs. The members of the Captivate forum were welcoming and helpful. I was able to flash my phone with their help. The first flash resulted in some corrupt files, but they were able to work me through those as well. Since then, I've been running a stable version of CM10.1 without any problems.
I enjoyed the process of flashing the OS. I'd been thinking of an upgraded phone, so I found a new i727 on eBay. Last week, before buying it, I read through the sticky for the first time. It seemed like it would be as straight forward as the i897. Well, it is an entirely different animal. I asked a few questions that I thought I'd get clarification on before flashing. Yes, I jumped into the CWM/stock 4.1.2 question without going back to research it in the sticky, but it just popped in my head and I threw it out there. Sorry. So to answer your question; no, I don't know what I'm doing. However, I am wiling to give it a shot. If you're unwilling help, why not just skip my post? Some one who is willing to help will come along.
As for bricking my phone, that is what I'm trying every hard NOT to do! :laugh: If at some point in the past, some one has become angry with you or other forum members because they locked their phone, I'm not that kind of individual. I understand the risk I'm taking, but at the same time, it is just a phone! My goal here was to get the instruction necessary to successfully flash a new OS. That is what this forum is intended to provide, correct? So far, the members a have been the exact opposite of the i897 forum. Did they roll their eyes as they typed in the messages that helped me get a stable OS on my Cappy? Maybe. But they were still willing to help me through the process.
This is my last post. Thanks to 'holeindalip' for the only friendly response I was given on this forum! To everyone else; I'm out of your hair now. I mean you no ill will. Farewell.

The 727 and 897 aren't that different
Both use Odin to flash stock firmwares
The kernel contains the recovery on the 897 and on the 727 the kernel and recovery are on seperate partitions
Besides the partition differences its very similar the way you flash everything

A simple Google search, or a search on xda, or reading the excellent stickies would have answered all your questions and some you didn't even know you had yet.
Enjoy the rocket.
