Im sure there are plenty of threads out there for this but i am kind of in a rush. I am looking to purchase a s2 skyrocket off someone on craigslist who had mentioned this site and said he "rooted" the phone. I am no expert but am curious if you guys know any legit at&t stock versions of the phone so i dont have to worry about any errors or minor issues on the phone. I want it to be completely back to normal. Please let me know what you guys think or if you have any advice at all on what to do.
Thanks.

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has run into problems replacing a phone with Rogers/Samsung with their counter set to 1 or more.
I had asked the same question in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399182
but it was buried with some others so it wasn't really addressed.
I have a static crackle issue with my S2 i727R that was here before I rooted but didn't show up again until after I had rooted. My counter's at one and currently it seems there's no way to reset as I have Android 2.3.5 so I'd like to return it but I'm not sure if they will charge me or not.
So if anyone has done something similar and gotten away with it it would be good to know!
Thanks!
I think youll be fine just take it in and reaturn it. Just make sure your on the stock firmware. If not use odin to flash your stock tar. Ive actually reaturned an evo3d that was rooted and runing a custom rom when i handed it to them. With out issue
Cool, thanks man. I just wasn't too sure how anal they'd be. I'll flash back to stock and bring it in then.
Thanks again!

returned mine 2 days ago with a broken speaker phone speaker and they just checked it and gave me a new one...it was rooted and had superuser installed but i didnt flash it to a rom
Good news man, thanks. I'm bringing it in tomorrow so hopefully it goes as smooth.
I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?
You can always restore the phone back to stock if you want to.

If you're still not sure what to do, ask.

I'm thinking about throwing ICS on it, but it sounds unstable, any opinions?
Sky ice is an awesome rom its ics like but thats as close to ics your gonna get for now. Devs here are working on getting it for us but its a work in progress and you wont see anything out for it for a while. As stated above read read read before you do anything with your phone. I lurked here for a month before i did anything with mine.

Isn't that just a 2.3.5 build with a ICS-like skin over it?

Thank you again for your advice
I used this root method (zergrush), and it was very simple and straightforward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Now, i just have to figure out what ROM I want to apply...
Ok...
All I wanted to do was flash a custom rom on my Rogers I727R so I could get on my laptops adhoc network.
FoxHound_Otacon_V1_LP4_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS.zip Seemed to be the right choice.
Rooted phone fine, but couldn't seem to get into cwg with the button combonation.
Heard of Rom Manager so ran that, it began flashing the new rom...
The linux text was in italian for some reason, and then I read errors regarding permissions?
Rebooted phone. MF Bricked.
Bought a usb jig, took about two weeks to arrive, followed the jig instructions, still cant get the phone to turn on.
Used a multimeter to check battery voltage, it's reading 3.665v, should be enough?
Any ideas? Besides having Rogers send it back to Samsung and wait 3 weeks, do I have any other options? Cheers.... ...
Nope but where did you get that rom is is a 727 or 989 rom

You flashed a ROM from a different phone. Its toasted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Yup u need jtag. Service. And also need to only flash i727 or t989 roms
*rubs eyes* f..I thought it said SG2...oh man...
What'll happen if Samsung gets ahold of it? Will they just send it back and say sol?
Sgs2 skyrocket very different then sgs2
rogers dont send your phone to samsung and make you wait 3 weeks, they send you a refurbished GS2 and a return box to put your broken phone and return it back to them. I've do this many times over the past 5 years ive been with them and they never made me wait for any repair
Man, I feel sorry for you. . However, it is not like it is "fried" or anything. A "repair" service is needed to reload the firmware etc.
EDIT: Yeah, try what polish_pat says. TELL THEM YOU TRIED AN OTA SOFTWARE UPDATE, and then the phone just died.
BUT, where the heck did you get the ROM from. Seriously, how could you even THINK of flashing something you had no clue about.
With all respect man, this is a thread all newbies should read. Even when I myself flash ANYTHING I am so tense, even after reading till I get a headache.
Contact adam outler on the forums here. Search for user "Adam Outler". PM him. He will ask you t mail your phone. He is a king in repairs. He has all kinds of hardware tools, and he won't gyp you with exorbitant prices.
Good luck !!
I thought I727r and I9100 were the same thing...argh..
I'll try rogers then on Tuesday and update.
If someone can someone point me to a good rom for I727r so I can get adhoc going when I get my phone back I'd really appreciate it, I really need wifi and adhoc is my only option where I'm located.
Got the rom from galaxys2root.com, didn't realize it wssnt for I727R.

Does the USB jig get you into download by ANY chance? Just by fluke or something ! You said you used a jig.
In ht meantime also look for member Adam Outler and PM him. He always has thousand tricks up his sleeve.
Only if soft brick. You have a hard brick
I did the same thing, people keep saying Odin doesn't work for us Canadians, it does, use Odin on your PC, find stock Rogers ROM, flash that, should fix it, and more questions about how, pm me

Who said Odin didn't work on the i727r? There's even a stock tar file for the i727r. Never heard that before, Sorry bruh but if the phone won't kick into download mode then she's toast

Odin with i727r
Actually what I read here was:
"NOTE: Rogers users double check to make sure each thread you are reading is compatible with your S2 LTE (I727R) before taking action! As a general tip, the ICS leak Odin TAR files are incompatible with the Rogers S2 LTE."
Not the same thing as Odin not working on Rogers' phones.
Well guys, Ive been searching long and hard to find out how to do this and keep seeing I need to use Odin. I have no clue how to use Odin and consider myself lucky that I was able to even flash CM10.1 Jellybean successfully. I do have a full backup of my original rom. I just want a rom that will work. CM10.1 is good but I wasn't able to get my apps put back on (I followed the instructions on how to do it but it keeps giving me a formatting error). It seems this phone hasn't worked good at all since it had the stock Froyo on it. The 2.3.6 Gingerbread update worked except for that texting issue of to many characters.
I have been reading that lots of people seem to like the Valhalla final rom. I have the Samsung Galaxy s 4g (T959V). Or do you guys recommend another more current rom? I am really clueless about how to do these things. Also, when you root a phone does that mean you can no longer get apps off Google play?
One more thing, what's the deal with different kernerls? I know nothing about them either. Are they just to do with communicating with the hardware or is there more to them?
I see different launchers and know nothing about them or if I can use them for my phone. Wouldn't know how to install one either. I'm sure I can customize what I already have but don't know how or what to try. Maybe that should be first. I would really like to have my facebook app back though. If you guys could just give me some links, that would be great too. Thanks in advance everyone.
If you want to go back to a bml gingerbread rom you have to one click back to stock.

I was wondering if anyone had this completely stock cannot find it anywhere? I used to have all of the files for this phone but i lost them all on a hard drive failure...
I don't want rooted nor voodoo with it, nor do i want one click odin only...
All links for pretty much every download are not existant anymore..
Please help me someone thanks..

Those both look like odin roms and they should work fine. I'd still say to use a one click but that's up to you.
Sammobile should still have them up, but, I think you have to have an account now. Those would be completely stock.

Sammobile used hotfile and never updated any of the links. Use the ones FB provided and you should be good to go.
