Rogers ICS RUXJF3 Nandroid - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Ok folks, here's the NANDROID backup I made of the stock Rogers ICS firmware:
http://d-h.st/4mq
It is from a fresh boot and non-rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722505 <- Matching modem files for anyone using this.

Nicely done!

awesome, can't wait to get home! The connection speed at work is terrible.
I'm going to set this up and see if I like it better than CM9, I really doubt it but I've got to try!

Well done sir

so basically I'll just nandroid my CM9 ROM, reboot to recovery, flash Rogers ICS, flash superuser.zip and reboot, correct?

the firmware is also available on sammobile.com

i think u wont like it and u will probably go back to cm9

Just out of curiosity, does this flash the modem as well? I seem to be "stuck" with ULCE2, even after using ODIN to go back to stock Rogers ROM.

Nope. No modem. Just flash another if you don't like LE2. And the experience won't change. You'll never prefer stock over CM9. I already know what to expect. This is great for developing but i see no point in downloading just to try it out. You'll be disappointed.

I've linked the modem files to Seanzscreams. I don't know how to create a CWM flashable zip for them or I would do so for you. I'm sure Sean will come up with it for us.

SOB. Lol
I was under the impression that the ODIN tar's contained the modem which would be flashed as well. Anyone know where I can get my hands on the the stock Rogers modem? I'd like to flash it so I can either update through Kies, or flash the new stock ROM.

The ODIN tar does have the modem, I just can't give you a CWM flashable zip file at this time.
You can flash the ODIN tar though.

Anybody tried to flash on the skyrocket?

So, im currently running CM9 and I have done teh following trying to flash the rom in the OP
-made Nand backup
-wipe (data, cache, dalvik)
-format system
-selected the new rom to flash, and I get the following message
Installing: /emmc/ICS_ROGERS_I727RUXLF3_CWM_FLASHABLE.zip

My best guess is that it will only update/install FROM stock, am I right in this assumption?

I just flashed the stock Rogers in ODIN. It does not have the modem. My phone is still showing UCLE2 in the system information. Unless I'm doing something incorrectly...
For the record, I'm referring to the old Rogers stock tar. I'll try the one for this new update and see what happens.

I guess i should have said "some of them do". Not all. But a nandroid will never provide modem

You need to wipe all of the folders in CWM including /system and clear all caches in CWM before flashing the ODIN file if you want the modem to take. It's weird like that.

Thanks for the info. I just flashed the tar for the new Rogers stock and it looks like it wrote the modem

I asked this in dev section with no answers.. Is this release form Rogers based on a new kernal or the same old one as Sky ICS was based on?

[RECOVERY] Stock Recovery.tar for I727UCKJ2

Thanks to Dxrta, attached is the stock recovery file needed for our Galaxy S II Skyrocket just in case you want to revert back to stock after using CWM Recovery. This could be useful when wanting to perform OTA updates.
Just flash the file via Odin by placing the .tar file in the pda.

Easy. Grab the return to stock Odin package. Using 7zip look inside the tar delete boot.img, system.img. flash away stock recovery.

No worries. I had a fellow xda member, mcmexican, check his SkyRocket to see if there was an update he had none as well.
Wierd, I used odin to flash back to stock and checked afterword and have no number under counter. Powered off and plugged in my usb jig and everything looks fine.
it tripped mine and now there is no way to reset it (yet)!
I used przekret's odin file, though, so it may be different.

Does this "unroot" the phone so it could, for instance, be sent in for warranty repair or return?
My Skyrocket is on it's way to me now to replace my old Captivate, not sure I want to root this one or leave it stock.

No this simply puts the stock android recovery on the phone instead of cwm.

wont let me delete without paying for the full version
So if I were to use this and go back to factory. I have cwm and rooted, and I am running the icecream sandwhich Rom, what do I need to do to flash back over? Do I need to do a full factory data wipe and so on?
Is this for Roger's SR as well?

[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset"

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?
So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.
I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.
Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

Everything is fine now.
Glad to hear that. I swear by darkside between ROMS.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

[Q] [HELP!!] Tried to flash rooted Stock VRBF1 after Carbon 1.8, phone won't boot

I've been on Carbon 1.8 for some time (AOKP and CM10 before that) and wanted to go back to stock rooted TouchWiz for a while. So I downloaded the de-odexed rooted Stock VRBF1 from Scotts ROMs.
I flashed this from TWRP 2.5.0.0 and the phone would not boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen. This was a clean flash, I factory reset the phone and also manually cleaned the dalvik, cache, system and data from advanced wipe options.
I tried this again about twice with the same result.
I then tried a Stock VRALG7 zip that I had on my computer with the same result.
Finally, I gave up and decided to flash Carbon again, and the exact same thing happened - The phone won't boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen.
I can access Recovery just fine and even connect via adb. One thing I noticed was that when I am in TWRP and explore the files, /system is empty and has only one folder (bin)
At this point my phone is pretty much dead in the water and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !!

Use Odin to flash the stock tar then reroot. There's a no-wipe stock rom thread in the dev section that has a few stock images. If you have issues flashing those images then I firmly suggest using a tar that wipes /sdcard. You can download those on Samsung Update website for our phone model (SCH-I535).

They might have some as well, I'm mobile and at work so I can't check for you. Make sure the tar specifically states it's for "d2vzw" or SCH-I535. If someone else can help out please do. I know there are firmware on "Samsung Updates" website but I haven't looked on Sammobile before. Better yet, post the file name once it's downloaded.

I've been trying to get this phone to work for about a week now. I'm not one to give up so easly, but I'm about to turn it in for warrenty. Sorry my spelling sucks. I hate being beat by software. There has to be a way.

Ok good material but a little confusing. So I need to use chome to be able to down load pit file and flash it with oden with reboot, F timer & repartion checked. Than reflash stock rom. Is this correct or I need to do something else?

Looks to be about what the directions stated, I've rarely seen Pit files referenced.

4.3 Upgrade on Friday and root?

So I have a friend whose phone I rooted a while back. He's still on the stock ROM and has no plans to change. What do I have to do to get him the 4.3 upgrade when (or if lol) it comes out without locking his phone up? I'm assuming I'll have to remove root. Anyway to do that without using ODIN?
Thanks!

If he's still on the stock rom, he'll receive an OTA notification on his phone. So long as he hasn't removed any system apps or installed any systemUI mods then it will update just fine even with a custom recovery installed.
He removed a couple of system apps but is on the stock ROM with no UI changes.
he has time to worry about it later. nothing is going to happen on friday.
does he have a nand of the stock system? if so tell him to restore it before updating to be safe
Yeah that's what I thought but better safe than sorry. No NAND of stock as far as I know.
OK there is thread out there just has rooted stock ROMs you can flash in recovery without a data wipe. I can't seem to find the thread for some reason but I have the file. If you wait till tomorrow I can upload it and share it. Or maybe u can find the thread. Or if all he removed was Verizon apps he could try a flashable zip to restore VZW apps.

You mean this? This no data wipe one is for Odin.

That's the one! Thanks SlimSnoop. Forgot they were Odin flashables but his friend could use mobile Odin as long as he has an unlocked bootloader. If not just use EZunlock 1.2. Its a one click app.

Okay thanks! I do have the zip somewhere, I'll have to look. Bootloader is unlocked with custom recovery. So If I just Odin or flash the zip the custom recovery or bootloader won't cause any problems?

No bootloader is fine but that file needs to flashed in Odin. If you want use mobile Odin. Its what use and it's easier IMO. just make sure which ever version of Odin you use that you have plenty if charge ( over 70%)

okay thanks!
And by flashing the zip I meant the flash able zip file, not the Odin file...

OK. Because you do NOT want to get that term mixed up and you do not want to flash a flushable zip using odim. Very bad idea. Odin uses tar files which sometimes comes zipped up (not flashable via recovery)
