Hi people,
Does anyone know about this thread? http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3406
Came to this link through a post from a brazilian blogger who says this is compatible with Milestone 2 (A953), but I'm not sure about that...
The poster says this is an "official Gingerbread leak" and it looks real... but after reading half of the replies (that's over 14 pages!) I still don't know if this is meant for A953 too - the pics and information only refer to A956 (Droid 2 Global / Verizon).
My question is: may I try this file in my Milestone 2 (A953) or will I brick my phone?
Thanks!
The main reason why we didn't have a GB rom for so long is because D2 roms aren't compatible with M2. You can flash them, and the phone will boot, but GSM radio won't work and there is no fix. But fortunately we already have our own GB leak, and there are some good ROMs based on it.
Nice! Thanks for your quick response, I will notify the poster of that blog.
Just one last question: is this statement true? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16914333&postcount=7
Thanks!
Why the double post?
My bad. I didn't know where to ask about this then decided to create a new thread, dumb choice, because after that I came across the other thread.
So, if applicable, mods please delete this one

Maybe...
As I know GSM on D2G is just a plugin to CDMA.
Well Mile2 has a mapphone_cdma.init.rc (something like that) script on the kernel, someone has to try it out.

Right... so I'll leave this to the pros, because I wouldn't know even where to start
And does this discussion bring any new ideas to the existing Gingerbread on M2 efforts? I've been watching this development section for a while and noticed that there are many mods based on the chinese leak, but I haven't seen anything mentioning this so-called "official leak"...
The original thread in rootzwiki.com is recent (first posted in Aug 21) and I thought that this could be useful for you developers.
I own my M2 for about a month now and I still don't know much about hacking its system. So I can't help as much as I would like to.
Thanks again!
Why posting here? This isn't development at all. Also..the name thread..be careful with the acronyms
This is just a quick list of things I thought would be helpful to Noobs/Newbs. They're not in any particular order. Also, sticky if need be or just leave as is. Sticky would be preferred though so Noobs/Newbs can see it right away. Anyway, here are what I feel should be the 10 Commandments for the SGS4G Forum. You may agree or you may not. Think what you will. If you feel anything should be added, PM me and I'll make the changes myself. Thank you.
#1 - Search The Forum Before Asking Questions.
Unless you like getting flamed by people when you don't search before asking.
#2 - DON'T USE ROM MANAGER ON SGS4G EVER!!!!!!
Unless you really like ODIN that much.
#3 - DON'T TRY TO FLASH ANY ROMS OUTSIDE OF THE SGS4G FORUM
Unless you wanted a nice brick instead of a phone.
#4 - Read the "[Guide] *NOOB's* guide to flashing " Thread In The General Section Before Trying To Flash Anything.
You'll eventually get pointed to that direction anyway if you don't read it. Trust me, we can tell when people don't.
#5 - Read The Instructions For The ROM Before Installing.
Unless you really like reflashing or reverting back to STOCK. HELLO ODIN AGAIN.
#6 - When You Have A Problem With A ROM, Be Descriptive About The Issue.
Believe it or not, the Devs here can't read minds nor can they see over your shoulder to see what your issue is on your phone. They're good, but not that good.
#7 - Be Thankful Towards Our Devs.
If you like a ROM, show your appreciation. If not, then keep your mouth shut and use a different ROM or better yet go back to STOCK. ONCE AGAIN, HELLO ODIN.
#8 - POST IN THE RIGHT SECTION!!!!
Prepare to get flamed if you don't.
#9 - When Flashing From Froyo To GB, Follow FBis251's "[ODIN+CWM] GB Ext4 Starter Pack (Sep 27)" Thread or use the updated Kies Mini to upgrade to official KJ6.
If not, then yet again, HELLO ODIN.
#10 - For The Love Of Our Forum, Don't Ask A Dev For An ETA!!!!!
You'll only get one answer if you do. WHEN IT'S DONE!!!
Going to add one more thing until we actually get it for our phone.
#11 - If You're Coming From Another Device, Don't Come In Here Thinking You Can Get CM7 For The SGS4G.
This goes along with #3 in a way. Its being worked on. Now that we have the kernel source for GB, we are now one step closer. So, until the devs figure everything out with the source to get CM7 working, IT CAN NOT BE INSTALLED!!!
Now if you're wondering, "What is ODIN?" well, there's a guide for that...
[GUIDE] Noobs guide to Odin to flash your SGS4G (Windows)
Like I said, feel free to PM me if you feel something should be added.
Not bad.. I'd also add the noob's guide to ODIN, and put up a link to the Bible thread to find every ROM, guide, Kernel, modem, etc that's been put up in the dev section.
Nice Work Thanks

Nice list, glad to see it stickied.....hopefully it will cut down on the repetitive questions that have been plaguing the threads lately.

You're the best kind of new user, the one who reads and tries to keep informed. I'll be glad to help if you have any questions.
well im glad its not overlooked
So, I think "Do NOT necro threads" should be added here. I'm seeing that a lot recently. It's just ridiculous.
I think that is general forum etiquette, not much SGS4G specific.
Updated #9 since we now have an official GB Upgrade. Will be taking #11 off as soon as we get new kernel working to run CM7.
Nice laws. I made the rom manager mistake when I was a noob. Seemed like the easiest way to go, until my phone wouldn't boot.
has anyone figured out why rom manager cannot be used...and if so what are proposed solutions
hey guys could you please direct me to the link on how to totally start over fresh.. basically if i want to do a complete wipe and start over on my phone ive got the kj6 version.. i think its probably a good idea for me to familiarize myself with it now thanks..

Look up Raver's Odin KJ6 rom. It'll leave your phone as if you had just downloaded the Kies official update.
Thanks alot... I've just been putting particular things on my phone.. Checked out and installed a few roms... I've read on some of these threads about ghost roms and other issues just want to make sure ive got my bases covered.. Thanks again..

The "all-in-one-location" XDA Skyrocket General Info/Root Method/Kernel/ROM Thread!
Welcome all SGSII-Skyrocket owners (and anyone else)!
My purpose is to help organize some general info, root methods, kernels, and (constantly updated) ROMs into one thread with links. I do not take credit for ANY work posted in this thread as they should be given to their respective creators (and porters). Also, I am not responsible for any action(s)/damages you take that are from flashing or changing your device from the way you received it when it was purchased. So basically what you do with the information you find here is on YOU!
I hope that ALL questions and requests related to linked content will be posted in the appropriately linked thread(s). Hopefully, we can keep this organized and easy to read and update. Any dates are in a "MM.DD" format and are derived from the most recent date the OP of each thread was updated (in a subtle attempt to continue having devs update their OP any time they update their creations...though our devs seem to be cooler and smarter than the rest IMO ).
[General Information]
(Here will be info and links to info that can be considered useful to all users of the Skyrocket whether they decide to root/rom their devices or not.)
NEW: AGPS Patch Galaxy S II 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK MORE SATS A few members are reporting great results with this. Please read directions fully on the subject thread!
All in One guide This is a great thread by AppDroid (thanks!) with multiple posts on different subjects (terms, flashing, rooting, etc) if you're new to customizing your phone I suggest you give it a look.

[Rooting Methods]
(This section will link to known and WORKING ways to root your Skyrocket.)
ROOT | CWM | ODIN | SGH-I727 and SGH-I727R Skyrocket ...This is the method I used to root my Skyrocket.
ROOT [ACS] Skyrocket Easy Root - Windows/Mac/Linux

[Kernels]
(This will link to any kernels that are created/being worked on for the Skyrocket.)

[Radios/baseband]
By a valid request this section includes links to radios for the Skyrocket. Since the homie twopumpchump has made a thread dedicated to this I will link to that thread.
Skyrocket Radio Thread maintained by TwoPumpChump
[ROMs]
(With our Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket gaining more attention and ownership, I expect our current developers...THANK YOU!!!!...to gain some new developers that will add to the growing list of available ROMs. There are other ROMs out there (not many) but I didn't want to post links to other forum sites. So instead, I will say this is not a complete list of available ROMs but it is all of them available on the XDA Developers SGSII Skyrocket Forums. NO links will go directly to the downloads, instead they will link to the threads. This will hopefully force people to see any instructions and warnings that are related to those ROMs directly from their creators.)

Thanks for your input. Where do you think it should be? All the linked threads (besides one) are located within the Development section so imo a compilation (or index if you will) should be in the dev section too and at the top. Also, this isn't the first thread of it's kind. I'm sure you've seen a thread like this in each of the dev forums just to bring some kind of organization to the many roms and dev related convos/discussions.
If there is a better place for it to be then run it by the Moderators and see what they think.

Thank you for starting this. I think this does belong in the Development forum and should be stickied once it gets where it needs to be.
Anywho, my suggestion is to add a section for CWM-flashable modems. There are only a couple of baseband versions out now but I'm sure that as time goes on and more updates/leaks come out that people will want the ability to use the one they want with whatever rom.
Ok I'll take a look for the threads when I get off work and add them ...or you could be a pal and PM me the links so I can add them easily. Thanks for your help and opinion!
I will keep this in the development section. Looks like some useful information pertaining to development. Guides are allowed if they are kept up to date

Should we organize the roms by date updated (most recent placed at top of that section) or should we organize it by ciq/no ciq? I'm currently leaning towards by date but it's a valid question.

just saying...
Seen these threads made before (i.e. GSII i-9100) and the usual rules of [Dev] section is "If you didn't build it yourself, it doesn't belong in the Dev section." Since this is more a [Ref]erence... then....
but its always up to the moderator.
Either way, this is a useful thread
Lets keep this one here, it will hopefully stop some usual questions and give some answers
Yeah I got u cue, I really wanted to plan ahead for this forum and help out the Mods to keep it structured.
Again, if you see anything I can add to this please post or pm me. Also, maybe a message to some of the devs that haven't posted their roms here might be good idea to encourage them to create a thread here on XDA and show that we're being pretty pro-active on making the most out of our awesome device. Thoughts on that?
Please put in chronological order from most recently updated to oldest updated.

I thought the dates after each one would be enough considering the way us programmers are. A dev could revise a rom multiple times in one day, and I go off the date the OP is updated. But, if y'all really want that then um...ok. Anyone else agree with Dan?
Good thing. Maybe you can add links for stock kernel and rom for both Roger and AT&T.
thanks
Cant Find the guide.....im rooted yes phone says (SGH-T959V)
I would strongly second hechoen's recommendation in your "Help Help Help" thread from not even an hour ago that you take the time to read a bit more before you flash anything else. Believe it or not, you've probably already looked at links to what you need to do several times if you've spent much time reading here. One brick a day is more than most here want to deal with!

Please stop opening multiple threads. Please take the time to understand what phone you have, which ROMs are available, and how to properly flash a Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V. If you then have additional problems, you probably should add to one of your own threads, and not in the Development section.

And to save you more questions,
Once rooted and on GB - flash a CWM version 5 such as AntonX's basic with a twist 1.1.3, reboot to recovery and then flash CM9. That will get you to ICS. Don't forget to
sync all contacts to google and backup data first.
Also please thoroughly read CM9 installation instructions prior to flashing it.
