Root and install CWM on SGS II Skyrocket (AT&T i727)

For those of you with a Samsung Galaxy SII i727, I just wanted to point out that there are two methods I currently see to root it, and one of those methods installs CWM.
Here's a link to a page with both rooting methods:
android.jakaar.net/skyrocket-rooting.html
And another link that just explains how to install CWM:
android.jakaar.net/skyrocket-clockworkmod.html
I hope this helps someone.
I'd be interested to see any Roms or kernels for it if anyone can point me in that direction.

i guess you didn't search before posting, as we already have multiple in XDA in house solutions for Rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342712&highlight=root

[Q] n00b: Install CM11 on a Samsung Exhibit II

Hi,
Although this will be my second CM install on a phone, last time it was easier by following a howto guide for doing so.
This time I'm having no luck finding a n00b proof step-by-step guide on how to install CM11 on my Samsung Exhibit II.
The phone is stock (besides being unlocked)
and has nothing on it.

Android 5.0 Lollipop?
I'm not understanding which distribution is the correct one to use for my phone. Was hoping for a fairly vanilla Android flavor.

Found everything i needed and go to apply it but doesnt work. ive tried going thru recovery boot but i keep getting efooter error message. What am i doing wrong?

Hi there,
All development threads with custom ROM's you will find it here:
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 Android Development or here T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development
For installation steps please see the thread ROM and you will find that in the first post of that thread, something like this from this thread [ROM][5.0][UVUFOB6] AllianceROM N900T UVUFOB6 v1.1 Now Online!! :
If coming from Samsung 4.4.2/5.0, follow the guide below. If coming from anything else I recommend flashing stock via odin first. You can grab stock from sammobile.com in firmware section...
Place rom on internal sdcard
Reboot recovery
Wipe cache, system and data
Flash ROM
Wait a good 10 minutes or more for it to boot, don't worry if it sits on Bootanim for ages...

[Completed] old rooted device with stock rom

hey guys
so i have this old wt19i which is rooted but i never bothered to install a custom rom,i stopped using it after a while and bought a simple nokia phone as my main phone.the reason was battery life.
now i want to start using it again but i dont know what custom rom i should install.i wont even insert a sim and plan on using it solely as a gba emulator.
since its an old phone i cant find which custom rom is best for maximum battery life.
i got SU access and stock rom.can i just pick a rom and install it?
i would not ask this question but since its an old phone i cannot find what rom is best.all threads are from 2012

Samsung Note 2, I want it secured, lightweight, and fast.

Hey Ya'll
Happy New Year.
I have new old phone Samsung Note 2.
I'm going to be using this phone but have concerns about security and speed .
I also want to root my phone so I can remove the bloatware and, possibly, get my processor clocked a bit faster (activating the reduntant cores to would be great).
This is what I've learned from searching here:
1) KIngRoot || Root King - oneclick apps from the play store
2) custom rom - like cynagenmod.
- i'll be able to use FireFox the way I do on my Linux machine, but other than that I'm just a run of the mill iPhone user.
What kind of advice do you guys have for me? I look forward to learning tx:fingers-crossed:

For the people viewing but not posting.
Here's something I found using a DuckDuckGo (XDA search just came up with ads) from the XDA forums.
Galaxy Note 2 Rooting.
Flashing Custom Roms.
After days of trying to figure this out I'm just more confused.
Everytime I use the XDA search bar I get ADS. Thanks XDA.
The two links I posted to help here have good descriptions but the links end up going nowhere eventually.
From what I've gathered (on my own) I need to:
1) Root using Odin (found it somewhere else)
2 ) Download a "Custom Recovery" CWM/TWRP (can't find a good download for the dam thing)
3) Download Gapps (again, can't find a good Download for the dam thing)
4) Download a Custom ROM for my phone (and again, can't find a download)
I don't understand. Everyone Raves about XDA but theres only text instructions. Everyone says how there are great developers here and how this is a gret forum but I've yet to find anything here and none of the people who viewed this post even replied....
If your reading this and are trying to Root your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I suggest you look somewhere else.
I don't think XDA is worth any of the hype people give it and we're just wasting our time here.

Hey, there.
First of all, you are new here and don't know how the XDA forums work, so be patient and don't jump to conclusions. Once you understand the forum's layout, you will see why everyone raves about XDA.
You first need to find your phone's subforum using search, and look there. It will have everything from general questions, rooting guides, to custom kernels, custom Roms, etc.
For your case, it's here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2
Easiest way to root your phone is using Kingroot.
Download apk here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22115
The custom ROM flashing guide you linked is general guide to flash any ROM and hence doesn't provide links. You need to find Rom you would like to flash(install) in the sub-forum and flash using that method.
Hit thanks if it helped. PM (private message) me if you need help.
