samsung galaxy s2 lte rogers ICS root? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

hey guys I have a rogers samsung galaxy s2 LTE i727r and i just updated to ICS last week. i was looking through the forum in hopes to find a root method for my phone but i cant seem to find one. ive read that super1click doesnt work very well and im pretty new to android so im sorta confused on how exactly to root. if anyone can direct me to a good easy to understand guide that would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

If you are on ics, need to flash cwm with odin and install superuser throught cwm. There is a thread that tells you how to do it. Just a little more looking and you will find it.

Thanks! The guide says works in 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 but it's 4.0.4 compatible as well.

[Q] After 2.3.5 Gingerbread updated firmware... how to root???

I'm absolutely happy with the 2.3.5 BUT i some how lost access to my SuperUser.. Does anyone know what additional software to root 2.3.5 gingerbread for Samsung Infuse? I would deeply appreciate the help
You can't root 2.3.5
As far as I know, the only way you can root 2.3.5 at the moment is to install JordanElliott's 2.3.5 rom (UCKJ1). You'll need clockworkmod rom manager to flash the rom and then the stock kernal to fix the wifi. It was relatively painless.

So wait, did we get an Official 2.3.5? I'm somewhat confused.

I haven't seen anything about an official release. The latest leak makes it seem like we are really close though since it includes a bootloader.
I'm sure when the sources are released and the real update is out everyone will know

A. look for threads with titles about the firmware toy are running, b. look for threads about issues rooting, c. How are you running 2.3.5? Did you flash it? Did it get pushed to your phone? Did you buy it like that? Did you buy it new?
If you flashed it with Odin and can't figure this out or find the answer i'm in awe, the answer is in every leak thread so far but the question keeps coming up.
Use SuperOneClick v2.2 and use zergRush as the exploit.
Heck...where dud u get 2.3.5? I want it..lol...yea SOC works good...

i got it from a guy on youtube, type in "Tutorial-samsung infuse" an its an indian fella doing a walkthrough and has the links for it. BUT i cant root my phone because of the update... I tried the zergrush with superoneclick and it locked up on my computer.
ANY suggestions
OK I saw the video.
1. This is not an official update.
2. This is a leaked firmware.
3. Try using super one click on a different PC.

acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above
Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.
INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.
Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root
Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.
Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.
Link to stock recovery
Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Yeah I just unrooted my phone assuming that at least 4.0.4 would look good. TouchWiz makes everything EXTREMELY slow and ugly. ugh.
Is it a tar file to be used with Odin. I see there is no i727r specific "how to file"(flash guide) on sammobile.
Yes, it's meant to be flashed with ODIN.
Just flashed it via Kies, had to use ODIN by flashing stock, Odin wouldn't work till I rebooted my computer, then once Kies updated, I had had a error ( com.Android.phone stopped) but I cleared data and cache in 3e, then everything worked.

I would use the Sammobile ICS stock tar for at&t when it comes out rather than using Kies ... In this case I would clean the hell out of the device before flashing it ... When I had Nexus S and ICS came out , it was running much faster after wipes and full install than OTA ...

Help needed with RemICS v1.3

So i've been trying to flash my device to this version of ICS 4.0.4 but i've been having quite a lot of problems.
I started with UBKB1 - froyo and tried going straight to ICS 4.0.4. It didnt work, i installed a version of UBKB1 for clockwork recovery but when i tried to flash, it kept saying E:Error in /sdcard/"nameofthefile" (Status 7).
So i tried going to UBKPE - Gingerbread and try from there, but it keeps telling me the same thing.
I read some on the forum and such, and i read that its about the CWM version im currently using. Thing is i cant find a version for the UBKPE and update enough to be able to flash ICS 4.0.4 from RemICS.
Can anyone give me some help? Either telling me what to do, or being kind and upload the CWM used for Samsung Galaxy S I9003L to be able to upgrade my firmware?
Thanks in advanced!
Flash gb via Odin. Then flash cf root. Then flash ics

I am shorta behind of all roms lol. I had to look for rom comes with 4.1.2 i wouldn't download the 4.2.2. I really wanted liquidsmooth. That looks good on youtube.
Any ROM should work be it 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. All that is number is the android version. You're baseband stays the same. Clean ROM is great, liquid smooth is also good. Hell, try em all, that's the best part. Of course, this coming from a certified flash-a-holic!

Do you mean the yellow triangle in the Odin boot screen? If you installed the ROM properly (through recovery like clockworkmod or TWRP) then it shouldn't boot to that screen at all..

Your bootloader is still locked. Odin back to stock, re-root, and unlock with version 1.2. The version in the Play Store will not work. If you search for that version, there are links everywhere. After you complete this, back up everything including IMEI and flash whatever you want.
Thanks I installed liquid smooth ROM with unlocked boot loader. Everything looks great the way I want it! Navbar looks cool! I know what u mean by 4.2.2, I thought these are for 4.2.2. Confused user here.

Think of it being similar to Windows. You have 95, 2000, xp, win7 and win8. All of them are windows just different releases. So if you take your computer with xp and install 7 on it it should be fine. Just like if you install liq. Smooth 4.2.2 on a device running 4.1.1 your essentially upgradeing the Operating system.So now the 4.1.1 phone becomes 4.2.2. That's it in a nutshell.

Hi Shaftamle,

I plan to root my phone and was doing some preliminary homework. It looks like you have answered most of other people's questions, so thank you for helping out so much. I think I can root by myself with the information on this thread.
Thank you, I will do as suggested.
I am running into problems in Step 3. I used Clockwork (non-touch) and it says "success (0) / fail (0)". I do have "auto-reboot" unchecked.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Step 2 went well.

Seriously, how hard is it to follow directions?
All you need is ODIN and a stock rooted Touchwiz.tar. Once you have that you're golden. Install v1.2 to your phone from here to unlock your bootloader and then install this to flash your recovery. This whole process can be completed in about 10-15 minutes tops.
