Hey Guys,
I currently have this phone and have installed the 4.0.4 ICS update from Bell. However, I just realized that I am not able to install CWM on this 4.0.4 which is very disappointing. I tried to follow the rooting procedure but I kept encountering stock boot which does now allow me to install ZIP for root/super user. One of my buddy told me that I have to downgrade. Can anybody confirm that. It seems like all the rooting procedures are only for gingerbread 2.3.4-2.3.6. If anybody can help me, much appreciated. Thx in advance
It will not work (someone correct me if im wrong) because you have the HD LTE version and this forum is for just the LTE version.

But the skyrocket is basically the HD LTE without the HD screen, these two devices are crosslisted and always mentioned in the same discussions.
Not sure if the same applies to SR HD but I would lean towrd it's similar ...
Use ODIN to flash CWM recovery (use .tar format NOT .img = search the development section "sk8.... recovery")..Check only auto reboot in ODIN and click PDA tab and point the browser toward the .tar recovery then click start ... It will reboot automatically ...
Reboot again into recovery and install the zip for rooting , reboot , open SU and update as it asks you , you're done
See Vincom's thread about all that....It's sticky in SR forums development ..
Hit Thanks if I helped you , an idiot was bragging on me on how many thanks he has compaired to his posts count forgetting that , unfortunately ,too many douches are here on the forums like himself(he has a sig like McDonald's billboard on the interstate saying "Hit thanks button" ...

you just need to downgrade back to the stock GB rom and then load the cwm and it will work perfectly, thats what happen to me this morning.
Maybe I need to refrain responding here for SGH-i757m, but please refer the the following thread.

What phone do you have? Which specific ROM did you flash? What instructions did you follow? Lots of people are using ICS ROMs with not trouble, so you should be able to get it to work, but need more info.
Here is droidstyle's guide that may be of some help... it's written for the Fascinate, but it applies to other versions of the i500 as well. You just have to make sure you have the correct files for your device.
I have the samsung skyrocket for att and was wondering how i can flash the stock rom and will i be able to get the official ota update? i currently have the skyics update from sean. and i did not make a backup because i didnt know much about rooting when i first flashed a rom

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock
Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b

Wrong section.
You can't use cwm with this phone only the recovery and you should already have if your rooted.

I've been there so I'll help you out. Just follow the instructions on the following 2 YouTube vids:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5zoQxUOJgI&feature=BFa&list=UUUKQzwuURouARj0mfMBBsig
They're not the best videos but they get the job done...at the end you will be rooted and have the red CWM installed.

Wrong, if a person uses super one click to root it just gives you root access no custom recovery.

Eww, asking a noobie questions plus posting on the development thread. Will a moderator be my angel!
Anyways so you don't have to spam our forums with non-sense, follow this guide to the point. DON'T ever trust YouTube videos for hacking your phone, I learned that the hard way. The only true place to hack your phone is right here in XDA Forums.
My job here is done and thread reported.

I sued both post to figured out how to install CMW successfully.
Does anyone have a packaged stock kernel that I can reflash my sons tab 2 7.0 with as I have suddenly become the worst Dad on earth due to the possibility of my tinkering losing his had earned game data! Doh!
It's running 4.0.3 and I flashed with CMOC10 without bothering to properly read the details as I hadn't clicked that it couldn't be f;lashed to stock, the phoen hangs at the Samsung logo but I can get into CWM recovery still.
Thanks

I have used this version of root and it has worked but not up to the full potential of other roots that use clock work mod recovery with it. You could try rebooting your tablet and if that doesnt help i would recommend using the type of root.

I also have the Canadian version Tablet P5113 and managed to mess up things badly using that file you mention, CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifibby-gtp5113.
After rooting and upgrading firmware to 4.2.2 I soon discovered the Tablet ran too slow. So I decided to go back to Stock Build running android 4.1.1 but I did NOT back a backup image, doh!
So my only option was to take a chance in downloading a "Stock Firmware" off the internet.
NOW, I've discovered that I cannot install Canadian Banking Apps without getting an error, "Your Device isn't compatible with this version".
I think the reason is because of the Build.Prop file is no longer showing Canada as the country and also a few other entries that have the "Espresso10wifibby" named. Argg. I should have left things alone.
What I was wondering is, if you would be able to take a look at your Build.Prop File, and either private message me or post your configuration and settings on this site?
