Do you have a JellyBean touchwiz rom installed that is using the att base? Sounds like it.

So you picked At&t? Because that was the "only option"? Knowing that you have a Vzw version?
If so, you need to study some stickies on here my man...

Ohhh. So THAT is what those "sticky" things are for..
Hmph.
Honestly there is a reason why we have sticky threads with IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Also what possibly made you think that flashing a recovery for another service provider was okay? I mean if it were me, i wouldn't flash it only because it's stupid. I don't mean to be rude, but you have more than 100 posts which leads to me believe that you at least have some knowledge around these parts, so again why would you even consider doing that? To fix your problem, download EZ Recovery from the market and reflash another recovery from within that application. If you have any other questions please click one of the helpful links in my signature
Edit: That helpful link is titled Rooting Guide.
He he thanks guys, made me realize im quite the idiot. I'll go reflash the proper recovery(regardless of the fact that the one I used worked fine!) Thanks for all the input

Hello all,
Just got the Skyrocket about a month ago, it's rooted, but just got into the idea of installing anew ROM/Kernel and decided to try out UnNamed, then possibly install Faux123's Kernel.
I booted to CWM (5.0.2.6), backed up, wiped, wiped cache and tried to install from zip, but the install fails with Status 1. I have searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything about it. I am currently restoring the NANDroid backup I made prior to attempting to flash so I can use my phone.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated as I am brand new to the Android scene.

This ROM is for the I777, correct? Why would you put it on a I727? It would be nice if a version would come out for the I727.
SMH.....
and we wonder why manufacturers want to lock down the devices....

No need to be rude. I made a simple mistake. At least I had the common sense to back up first so it's not like I'm in a bad situation.

Before I discovered XDA I started on Google and a lot of results came up for UnNamed and the Skyrocket like someone tagged the site/post/whatever incorrectly. As far as the research goes I want to look at what the different ROMs have to offer, any complaints or issues users are experiencing with them, etc. to make a decision as to which one I would like to install. Same thing with Kernels.

Now that we have an unlocked bootloader and working recovery, has anyone successfully ported any of the roms from the international htc one x (tegra 3)? Feel free to post which rom you used and how it worked out for you.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH THE BOOT.IMG FROM THE INTERNATIONAL HTC ONE X ROM. MAY RESULT IN SOFTBRICK

When you start calling people names, you are the one that appears immature and childish, no matter how correct you may be.
The problem is, though, you are not correct. Maybe it only appears as a "simple" mistake to you, probably because you don't care or haven't spent enough time in the forums, but for people who frequent XDA then it has become a cumulative nuisance.
Also, when the majority of users responding in the thread you started is either questioning the logic of your statement or placement of the thread then maybe you need to reflect on what you were trying to accomplish and maybe take into consideration how you can achieve better results in the future. Long story short, try to learn from your mistakes.
Okay, so, International One x won't be compatible because of hardware differences, but what about the One S roms? I just tried flashing the CM9 port for the S, and it flashed successfully but upon reboot the screen was just filled with green graphical glitches. Rebooting back into recovery and attempting to restore my backup of the stock system didn't work at all, so RUU for me... but, why wouldn't a One S ROM work? It has 99% of the same hardware... besides the qHD screen. I remember being able to flash a Droid 3 ROM to my bootloader-locked Atrix 2 and it booting up just fine. What's different here?

LTE radio for one. Probably some other minor differences too.
Hello. I just bought an S II LTE on Docomo. Am I right in assuming (I decided this in a fever dream of tiredness last night, so I don't know where I saw it) that ROMs designed for this ATT version of the phone will also work on the Docomo one? I know the buttons are different, but perhaps the ROMs take that into account?
If I'm in the wrong place, does anyone know which ROMs I should be using? There doesn't seem to be much talk at all of my version. Quite worrying; don't want to stay on GB!

Have no idea what Docomo is. but compare the specs, if frequencies and such are same then u can flash. isn;t the phone called 727?
U would probably need a SIM unlock.

Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
It's called the SC-03D, it's mostly the same as the Skyrocket. Docomo is the network,
Since I posted this, I tried flashing a Skyrocket ROM on to it. Since the radio frequencies are different, I couldn't use mobile internet. (calls and wifi worked fine) - and because the buttons are different (the Japanese version has a physical home button, and touch buttons for "options" (whatever it's called) and back - whenever I pressed back, it acted as if I were pressing home.
I assume (as someone who knows nothing about these things) that the button thing would relatively easy to fix in a slightly modded ROM. They're the same buttons as the first Galaxy.
Now, the real question: How easy would it be for a modder to set the frequencies? Is it just a question of changing a text file? So then: Can I help? Is there any diagnostic app I could run on my phone to get the info required in order to make this ROM happen? I'm hoping someone could slightly modify the most recent AOKP and re-pack it as a Docomo variant, with not too much time or effort on their part. If there's anything I could do (as someone who lives in Japan and has this variant of the phone), then obviously I would help as much as possible.
Does this sound to anyone like something that could actually happen?

Sorry for the double-post, but does anyone know how to do this? How do I install a kernel and radio separate from installing a ROM? Through Odin, I'm assuming.

The Skyrocket is the closest phone to mine that actually has a section on XDA. Mine is a Galaxy S2 LTE (only with different radio frequencies and different buttons on the front; everything else is the same - Skyrocket ROMs work on my phone, apart from the bits I've already mentioned), not a standard Galaxy S2.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I flashed a ROM: It's safe to assume that I know how to flash a zip file in CWM. And I wasn't rude in my response, so what's the issue?
Do you think I haven't searched for the files myself? Why do you think I'm here? I'm asking here in case people more knowledgeable than myself have come across the same or similar situations, since this phone is the most similar to mine. To be told to "google it" is hardly useful, is it? That was obviously the first thing I tried.

That's why I asked if there's a way to extract the radio and kernel from my current stock ROM.
If you can get the partitions description table for you device you can make an img for both radio and boot...
But that's not guaranteed to work however...
Number 2 if you delete radio and boot images from a stock skyrocket ROM zip you will only be flashing the system...just delete modem.img , amss.img and boot.img (never forget also to delete the recovery.img) ... This way the zip flash can't find the radio and kernel to flash them with the ROM..But I can't guarantee you'll not end up with a brick or if you're lucky with a boot loop !
OK, let me say first of all, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place and I'm sorry that this has probably been discussed a hundred times.
I haven't rooted/flashed/etc since my EVO. Tonight, over the past few hours, I've attempted to get CM10 running on my phone.
Here's what I did:
I used rooted using the " [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to root your Galaxy SIII & More!(ROMs/CWM/Stock)" Thread.
used ez-unlock to unlock - it said I was UNLOCKED!
TRIED using ez-recovery to flash the CWM recovery - DIDN'T WORK so I used rom manager from play store - THAT DID WORK
I made a backup of my stock touchwiz, then did the proper wipes and system format.
Then flashed CM10
Then flashed gapps
NOW I'm on a 'system software not authorized by verizon' screen. when I attempt bootloader, I get the same screen.
I posted in the respective threads, and a couple people were helpful, but gave vague answers
One said my bootloader isn't locked, another told me to odin back to stock and start over.
HOW DO I DO THESE THINGS? I'm just learning, I need instructions to follow!!
I just paid $600 for this phone, and I'm freaking out, and getting frustrated!
In that same thread you read/used to root your phone it should explain to you on how to Odin back to stock and what you'll need.

Totally fine it's what most of us are here for to help :beer:
Now make sure to read everything before jumping the gun and also when you use the EZ Unlock app make sure your using version 1.2 I'll include a link. The version off the play store 1.4 is having major issues with unlock not sticking and I'm pretty sure that's where it went all wrong for you.

Hi All,
I am looking for help on flashing a new ROM (probably a recent version of CM) to my SG3 I535 running Android 4.4.2. I was able to root it using towelrot and ended up soft bricking it when I tried to use ROM manager to reboot the phone into recovery. I then used Odin to flash back to stock.
This is where I am now stuck. My research shows that maybe I need to unlock the boot loader? But am unsure if that is actually my next step or how to get there. Any help or a guide in the right direction would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks in advance!

With being on NE1 4.4.2 you can't flash a custom recovery other than safestrap. Your lucky you didn't hard brick it trying to flash a recovery with rom manager. You can't unlock the bootloader at this point, that was last available on 4.1.2 and it is no longer an option
