I'm considering getting the skyrocket or the gnex. I've used the gs2 epic 4g a bunch and like Samsung's style and the look of the gs2...I'm going to use this on straight talk, so I'm wondering, how would you upgrade from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich or Ics to jb without using roms? Is it with the kies software? The skyrocket will get JB officially, right? I thought I saw an announcement about it and other devices including the gs3 getting jb before 2013.
Also, until you get the official Ics (or some other rom) are the Bluetooth protocols messed up making it difficult or impossible to use bt contollers like ps3 or wiimotes without flashing another rom or patch? I know on my gf's gs2 with Ics (all stock) wiimotes work great. Thanks for the help.

okay lets make sure im ont the right page currently your on S.T. and you wanna upgrade from GB to ICS and them possibly JB sound okay lets get on with it.
first off you can upgrade your service from GB to ICS using the Kies software however there are flashables such as Mohans Stock ICS check in the thread. However your will have to set back up your phone to run S.T. again because each update will change the setting to the Most up to date ATT/Rogers Data. next you run the possible risk that the new radio installed on the from the ICS will not work with you using a new one for S.T. ( now this is more of a maybe i dont have S.T> so dont kow exactly how there radios work) next you have to redo the APN in order to get data and MMS properly.
as far as JB there as been word and flutter but ive heard from several sources yes and others No so until further notice im gonna yes with a ?!
but most likely in order to get JB you will have to update thru KIES if not then someone Amazing DEV will make a flashable but you will still have to set the phone back up to S.T.
as far a BT goes i personally use my wiimotes for my emulators and there always work without issues dont have a PS3 so i cant speak on that one
Interesting, so if it was an unlocked at&t skyrocket set up with a straight talk sim, the system could lock me back out and reverting the phone to only work with at&t again? If thats the case that would be something very important to consider in the gs2 vs gnex choice for me.
I will end up rooting my device and probably end up flashing various roms after I learn about them more and understand what I am doing,but starting out with an optimized and current OS is what I'd like first. I guess even though I like the look and feel of the s2 the easier use on prepaid service with a gnex may benefit me greater. I don't know how I'll feel about fhe gnex soft keys on the screen and on a tv using hdmi. Thanks for the info.
And I saw an article about 2 weeks ago where Samsung said the s2 and s3 along with a few other phones and a couple tablets but none of the galaxy players would get jb before 2013.
You don't need to root the skyrocket to flash custom ROMs, all u need to do is flash cwm or twrp with Odin then flash custom roms

Hi All,
I have just purchased the Samsung Infuse 4G as my new secondary device after my SGSII and I am wondering what the substantial differences are between the Rogers and the ATT version of this device, keeping in mind that I am in Canada and am on Rogers?
What ROMS CAN and CANT I flash? What Kernels CAN and CANT I flash?, etc, etc, etc...
Please advise as I used to have the Galaxy S I9000M (Canadian version of the International version) and I was able to flash International ROMS, etc... Can this be done on the Infuse 4G without losing my proper service bands, etc?
Thanks for the replies...
Galaxy S lable, Gingerbread that i know of.

Im sorry but I dont understand wht you are trying to tell me. What is "Galaxy S lable" and what do you mean "Gingerbread that I know of"? If you mean that the ROGERS version already comes preloaded with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and NOT with Froyo 2.2.1 then that I already know.
Please advise...
Well the Canadian Infuse is a Galaxy S device and are is not even though it is the same device. So this just proves that Galaxy S is just a label.
and the android version. those seems to be just the major differences.

Thank You again for your reply Optimus but what I am really wondering is if I am able to flash "ATT based" custom ROMS, etc after I root and install CWM. I know the rooting proceedure for the ROGERS version of the Infuse 4G is different but is the actual "firmware"? Will I mess up the device by flashing it with ROMS created from ATT firmware, etc?
Does anyone know?
i dont think it would matter since we are running your roms on your phones. Gingerbread. but i mean you can always ultimate unbrick if something goes wrong. so its worth a try. and just a hint. att roms are froyo based
From what I can tell you,
We have Gingerbread 2.3.3 we do not have HDMI output. (Not a big deal for me).
Our video recording is a bit messed up (Recording at 15fps) but there is a fix now. Other than that there's not a huge difference.
Differences:
1) Cosmetics (that's what the other guy meant by "Galaxy S label") - no differences internally hardware-wise
2) Gingerbread bootloaders
Basically 2) means you can't flash old Froyo-based ROMs because no one bothered to make them compatible with the GB bootloaders - we focused on going the other way around. Our Gingerbread kernels are capable of working with Froyo or Gingerbread bootloaders.
Any ROM you might want to flash is based on your stock firmware currently, since official AT&T Gingerbread isn't out yet. Samfirmware claims it's officially out on Kies, but Kies refuses to connect to our phones so I call BS.
I have tried a bunch of radio\modems that worked in GB and cant my phone to recognize one of them on the official ICS. I have also tried several of the ICS modems including blaze, telus, and several others, and can't them to work either. My sim isant found and under baseband version it says "unknown." Does anyone know of a tmobile modem I can get to work on my skyrocket with official ICS? Thanks for any help.
Even your question doesn't make sense ... What is your phone ? what rom are you using ? are you on t mobile SIM or what ? how did you update to ICS ?
Don't just throw 20 words and want an answer ....

If your going to be rude then don't reply to my thread. This isant hard to figure out from what I posted. I am on the skyrocket sgh-i727, hence why im posting in the skyrocket forum. It says in the title, I am on the stock ICS 4.0.4 rom. And I as far as I know there is only one offical 4.0.4 upgrade. And it would only make sense that I have a tmobile sim, hense why I am asking if anyone knows of a working tmobile modem for the official stock ICS rom upgrade. I have had a million phones, been part of a million different parts of XDA, and by far the people in the skyrocket section are the rudest. And before you say it, yes Ive searched, and searched, and searched again, but seeing as how it was just released yesterday, there is not alot of information out about it yet. After some thought, maybe it was possible you thought I was on rogers or something? Do people try to use tmobile modems on rogers versions?I dont know, but thats not important right now. But you could of been nicer about it. People with questions get treated like second class citizens around here. I updated by flashing using ODIN.
Hi all,
I currently have the nexus one and I love the vanilla experience (though MiUi is pretty decent too). I have been running ICS on it but it still feels kinda laggy.
I am considering upgrading to the 1x, but I want to be sure that I can root it, enable tethering, and run a vanilla rom rather than the HTC sense junk. I see too many roms in the development page (I think the organization of such topics is kinda a problem but thats a question for another post), and want to know if there are any that offer a stable vanilla ICS or JB experience.
Also, I know that gaining S-Off is still in a development stage for this phone, but is it necessary? Can we flash custom roms without that?
if you're talking about the AT&T version of the One X(L) make sure the one you get is running 1.85 firmware or lower. 2.20 is unrootable and without root we can't unlock the bootloader either.
S-off isn't needed right now except to unlock the 2.20 firmware.
There are flavors of AOSP for both ICS and Jellybean. ICS versions of AOKP and CM9 are both VERY good since we have source code for the kernel for android 4.03 although it is incomplete because we still don't have drivers for the camera.
My boss gave me his galaxy s2 skyrocket to flash
i was originally running JB 4.1 on a custom rom, but i tried like 2 roms and they were to buggy for him and not stable
so since i couldnt find a really stable JB 4.1
hes asked to see if i can find the 4.0 Firmware of this phone but for the INTERNATIONAL version
I wasn't even aware the Skyrocket had a international version
What do you guys think
?
Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE comes in:
ATT: SGH-i727
T-Mobile: SGH-T898
Rogers: SGH-i727R
International: GT-I9210/T
ATT & Rogers are easily interchangable, the Hercules (SGH-T898) may need a little tweaking to get it working right but not too sure on the international version, I've heard people flashing the international version with CM9 for the SR but haven't heard of anyone flashing the International version of ICS to the SR.
The hardware is identical with only difference being the CPU Model# which is the same CPU they used on the T-Mobile version (APQ8060) vs (MSM8260).
Really its best to flash only the ROMs that are made for your phone but if the hardware is similar you can probably do it but I don't see why you want to.
If he wants he can use AT&T stock, CM9 or a custom ROM.
Does he want something from the international version of ICS?
Remember using a different ROM for a different phone you will need to have a different Modem and may have a chance to brick so only do at your own risk.

maybe you are doing something wrong, the later cm10 roms are very stable

He wants international so he can get be able to Text in Chinese etc etc
When I upgraded him to 4.1 the Chinese stuff was all good to goo
Had issues getting it to work on 4.0, the text would come out in Chinese, but the receiver would get a bunch of symbols, like i said upgrading to 4.1 fixed this, i think 4.1 and more languages or something
Thats why he wants international, he travels a lot as well so its convenient.

I've flashed several phones with several roms, I have my own Galaxy S3 running perfect on a AOKP rom
When i flashed my bosses phone I did the usual, wipe data/ dalvik / factory reset / flash rom
First ROM i used was Superlite, phone would go black and would require force shut off, this would happen randomly during idle or something or overnight
So i switched to SKYJB 5.0
no more screen hanging up black but got screen flickering issues, so i went into dev options and checked the H/W option..
as of now he took the phone back since he said that was the real issue.
Which rom would you recommend that runs very stable?
things have changed, like i said all new cm10 are stable, well mine is which is superlite v7.0, but that one has no chinese support, but superheavy does, cm10 is 4.1
as for international, he just has to worry about the radio and apns
So which CM10 would you suggest? specifically

not a good question to ask on this forum, "which is best", read the individual rom threads and see which ones would suit your/his needs, but since i only use my rom, then superheavy should fulfill his needs, its posted on my sig for superlite

I'm about to flash your Superheavy rom. I believe i might be on a custom kernel, could you point me a stock kernel or kernal that runs great on your rom? Thanks

Hello all.
I just recently picked up a t869 at a good price and have it rooted.
Can I use p;6100 roms and have everything work the same like the ir and what not?
Not really using cellular at the moment but would like that to work too.
Any input would be appreciated.

u cant flash p6200 n p6210 roms, go check development forum n check roms, 4sure u can flash pac man pa 3.68 n cm 10 cm 10.1.
I got mine (t869) around month ago. I did flash stock ICS and everything works fine, just beware of the "brick bug" in ICS. I run the "got brick bug" app and shows that my tab do have brick bug. As long as you have the CM 6.0+ recovery, you will not be affected. Unfortunately, no JB for us at present time. Few of those CM10 roms, but buggy as hell. I love that IR in it. I got it working with my tv, but playing a joke my get you hurt. I event sent e-mail to Samsung president, asking for upgrade, but no luck. According to Samsung, t-mob is not willing to update the device. 600 series will not work. I am looking into some international roms and see if some my work.
