[Q] WANTED: Rogers I727R Stock Android ROM

I have been searching (the forums, the google, and more) for the SGH-I727R_RWC_I727RUXKJ7_I727RRWCKJ7_I727RUXKJ7 stock Rogers ROM.
I want to have a fail-safe in the event of a soft-brick, and it looks like all previous uploads and other freely accessible methods of obtaining this ROM have turned into dead or deleted links. RapidShare, Hotfile, and MegaUpload (obviously) have all ceased to host this ROM.
Letitbit, a Russian filehost, seems to be the only place still hosting it, and each time I attempt to download it from them the archive gets corrupted at a different point during the download(thanks CRC Check).
I really want try out some of these ICS ROMS, but I'd like to be able to return to stock if everything goes wrong, or I don't like it.
Does anyone out there have the SGH-I727R_RWC_I727RUXKJ7_I727RRWCKJ7_I727RUXKJ7 ROM, and are willing to upload it?
Much Thanks.

Thanks. I checked that site out earlier, and somehow go the impression they were OEM technician resource, or pay-to-use membership site.
I don't know why I didn't bother to poke around a bit more, thanks again for the heads up. I'm downloading the ROM now.

Anyone wanna mirror that via dropbox for a couple hours so i can download it? I'm too lazy to sign up just for a tar lol

Isn't there a stock I727R tar. In the dev section? Under the how to tar Odin return to stock thread. I think the one that doesn't trigger the flash counter is 10-20 pages in.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA

can you be more specific? i cant seem to find a 'dev' section or even 'development'

I was in the same boat a while ago. Grabbed the one off of Sammobile. Tested it out but that was the only time I have used it.
Make sure you do a nandroid backup before and you only use i727 roms and you will be fine.

Super Noob Trying to Root

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

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

My Atrix 2 stuck at its logo

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded from my 2.3.6 gingerbread to 4.0.4 and I have installed atrix 2 bootloader just to install CWM, but when it required to reboot, I did reboot my atrix 2 and it never been able to load up the phone. I tried to use RSDLite to flash back to 2.3.6 by using this 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf but it said "Unable to retrieve interface handle".
I have no idea how can I get my Atrix 2 to work again, can you all please help over this issue?
Thanks

Okay so basically you need to flash it back to the 4.0.4 with the fastboot file for 4.0.4 and rsd 6.

This is the dev. section, only development post belong here. You should ask in the Q&A section. You're flashing all the wrong things and are working towards a brick. Check the noob thread, it has all the answers you need.

Need help updating stock phone to ICS

Hey guys whats up,
I have a friend that wants to update his phone from GB 2.3.6 to the latest ICS 4.0...I have tried samsung kies and is says connecting for like 5 minutes.is not working for me.i have installed the drivers...is there anyway to download the update from somewhere else & installed the update without using Kies?
Thanks

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Completely uninstall Kies, reboot, then reinstall it if you want to use Kies. It might work, I'm not sure. More info here.
Otherwise you can probably flash the official firmware files using Odin. I can't remember where to get them, but I know there's a link somewhere in this forum to the official files.
