[Q] Is it safe to root my skyrocket again? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi,
I had just flashed stock ics onto my skyrocket( from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398), When I went on, I saw that my superuser was still there, even when it was not supposed to be there. I was just wondering if it would be safe to root my phone again.
Thanks
Daniel

after that I successfully opened and checked my phone. It was rooted with super user and everything.
I tried to enable the market for everthing so I used this tread for enabling market with replacing build.prop method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065698
As soon as I restarted the xoom couldnt get past the video introduction.
Now, I have tried getting into recovery and doing factory reset and everything but I cannot seem to get past the video..
I am genuinely scared if I bricked the tablet...
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You in advance...

Hi Cozzeck,Can you possibly post a link for a guide to flashing back to stock? I don't want to mess it up further by doing something wrong.
And also, do you advice to try and root it again after fixing it?
Thank you, in advance...
I sent you a pm

Like you read up, you need to back to stock and do the procedure to root again.
Look for the stock image on the android development section, install it by clockwork recovery, and after get on stock do the procedure for root again.
If you have question u can PM me.
See ya!

[Q] Newb Needing Help Unrooting *Not One-Click*

Noob here,
I am wanting to unroot by samsung galaxy i897 on rogers network in Canada. I just rooted it using the superoneclick method. Now whenever I try to enable my wifi the phone keeps rebooting till I pull the battery and restart. I have decided that I am too stupid to have a rooted phone and am looking for a simple way to unroot my phone and restore it back to the standard gingerbread 2.3 it was running on before. I have tried the super one click unroot method, following the guide on this forum and it hasn't worked.
Thanks
simplest method is to flash to stock firmware
Hit me on the thanks button if you find it useful ; )

Another Noob Question
And how would I go about doing that?
You can use ODIN to flash to stock rom
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using xda premium
Ok, so I tried using odin to get back to the stock rogers rom using the roms posted on the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
But even though odin says it was successful, the firmware is still AT&T. Any ideas why?
Did you try to wipe dalvik cache, wipe data before flashing to stock rom

Found a thread will the proper rogers firmware. All seems to be working well now. I think I was just just using incorrect at&t firmware. Thanks for the help.

Regarding Superuser root method

Hi,
I am a first time user of this website.
I followed the steps for rooting my rogers galaxy s2 lte with superuser and I dont have the phone unlocked yet (waiting on the code). My question is, when i try to download anything from the market using wifi, it sayx no connection try again. I wanna know why this is happening since before rooting the phone, I downloaded 2 apps without any issues using the wifi. So any help on this issue would be great
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
This was the thread that I used to root my phone
[MOD] ROOT | CWM | ODIN | SGH-I727 and SGH-I727R Skyrocket
If you installed cwm flash a different rom and see if the issue still exist.

Rooting without disturbing flash counter

Ok.. I was seeing the sticky on how to root. The first method says that it allows you to root without changing the flas counter. But zedomax said he doesn't recommend it anymore. Is it safe to use? Im currently on 4.1.2.
Thanks.

[ROOT] Straight Talk: Samsung Galaxy Centura

It's been successfully rooted with POOT.
It has also been rooted via CWM by Area51 Here for CWM and then Here for Root! I did find some ROM development going on at Area51 as well here. Area51's CWM does not appear to play nice with any phone rooted with Poot however so it's best to install CWM from Area51 first and then use their root method.

The root method used at A51 is out-of-date, and can't be updated. Therefore, you'll continuously receive an update notification and won't be able to stop it.

Not True! All you have to do is just not install the update when it boots you into CWM. This will be fixed when they complete the ROM they're working on. I don't get update reminders after accepting the first one and just not installing it once in recovery mode at the install screen!
My roomate just got this phone, gonna root it for her. Thanks for posting methods.

You might want to wait for Area51 to complete their first ROM for the phone. Currently it has an annoying update that keeps trying to install over the rooted stock OS that will break root if you install it. Of course you can just keep clicking on accept and then selecting NO when you get to the install update screen in CWM like I do, but it's an annoyance.

Galaxy Centura 4.X
Is there any roms for the Samsung Galaxy Centura on StraightTalk that is Android version 4.1, 4.2 or above?
Not yet. Something that Samsung broke in the kernel is preventing the ROMs from booting up.

Cool just rooted one of these and uh, any recommendations on a root required app to use the phone as a wifi hotspot free of charge?

Did you rename the backup? If it has spaces, it will cause that error.
