I used to own a sky rocket and now i have the hd version.
Besides the resolution, is the rooting flashing roms the same as non-hd?

Below is the instructions to install CWM and root on the S2 HD LTE. (credit to the user dsixda)
Get the required files here
To install CWM Recovery:
If you don't already have Odin, download it from the link above, and extract the zipped file to a folder. Ensure both the .EXE and .INI file have been extracted.
Download the TAR file for ClockWorkMod Recovery (e.g. cwm_recovery_xxxx.tar, or if you want the version that uses finger touch input: cwm_touch_recovery_xxxx.tar). Do not extract the file out of it, keep the TAR file as it is.
Turn off the phone
Put it into Download mode by pressing Power and Volume Down at the same time. The device will vibrate and soon you will see a Warning screen, where you will need to press Volume Up to enter Download mode. (NOTE: You can also use the Galaxy S2 USB Jig to go straight to Download mode. I recommend you get one from eBay just in case.)
While in Download mode, start up Odin and connect your phone to the PC via USB. You should see a status message in Odin saying your device was "added".
In Odin, press the BOOTLOADER button and select the CWM TAR file you just downloaded.
In Odin, press Start. Your custom recovery should be flashed completely in a span of a few seconds, and then it should say "PASS" in Odin. If it doesn't finish and is stuck, then your file was either corrupted during the download or there was an MD5 mismatch (this is not a regular TAR file, it has an MD5 signature).
IMPORTANT: If you downloaded the "Touch" version of CWM, *avoid* using the "Reboot to Recovery" option in the ROM or apps like Quick Boot to boot into recovery. I have found that using such apps with Touch Recovery causes every subsequent reboot to go back into recovery rather than to the system. If you are stuck in this state, re-flash the recovery image so that it boots back to the system. Next time, if you want to get into recovery, use the button combination mentioned in the steps below instead. If you have the non-touch (normal) version of CWM, this issue won't happen.
To enter CWM Recovery:
Turn off the phone
Hold down the Power button to turn the phone on, and then immediately hold down Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time.
The device will then show the word "Samsung". Let go of the buttons at the exact moment you see this.
If you did it on time, you will enter CWM Recovery. Use the Volume keys to move up and down, and press Power to select. The capacitive buttons do this: Menu = DOWN, Back = BACK to main menu, Search = SELECT
NOTE: If you had flashed CWM but are still seeing the stock recovery image, then re-flash CWM and afterwards pull the USB cable immediately after seeing 'PASS' in Odin, while the phone's screen is black. Then do the button combo shown above to get into CWM.
Make sure you make a Nandroid backup of everything the first time you use custom recovery. The backup will be stored under the 'clockworkmod' folder of your SD card.
To root your device through CWM:
This step is only if you want to root the stock firmware that is currently on your device. If you are going to flash a ROM like CyanogenMod, then you can skip this section, since most custom ROMs already have root installed.
You need to first download root_sgs2hdbell.zip from the Dev-Host site linked above. Copy it to your device's internal or external SD card.
Then go back into CWM and flash the ZIP. You should now be rooted, you don't need to do anything else to your stock ROM.

ok i am rooted but cannot seem to flash a custom rom. everytime i try to do it it takes me back to the clockwork mod recovery screen instead of the other regular one. i removed rom manager and clockwork off of my sd card but it still doesnt let me do it. i tried manually and using rom manager to flash a custom rom it wipes and restores but when it gets ready to load the rom it stops and takes me back to the recovery screen wtf.....please help me man im ready to throw this ****ing phone....arrrrrghh
You need to have "A" custom recovery installed. Currently there are only two that I am aware of; Clockwork's or Amon's.
You can flash a new recovery via adb but if you are unsure how to do that I would first try to see if you can do it through ROM Manager. ROM Manager is Clockwork's app but if you open it up and scroll to the bottom you will see an option to "Install Alternate Recovery." Selecting this will bring up the option to flash Amon's recovery.
If this is successful, make sure you have the "New.ROM.You.Want.To.Flash.zip" on the root of the sdcard and power down the phone.
Once off, hold the volume down button and then press and release the power button (still holding down the volume down button).
The phone should boot into a white screen with a few lines of text. At this point you can stop pressing the volume down button.
Using the volume up/down buttons to navigate the 4 options and the power button to select, select #2 recovery.
The phone will then boot into Amon's recovery which should be a black screen with green text.
Still using the volume up/down keys to navigate and the power button to select, first go to wipe and do a wipe of "erase data-restore," cache, and dalvik cache.
Once this is complete you can select "Return" to go back to the previous menu and select Flash Zip from SdCard.
Select the ROM.zip you want to flash and when finished reboot the phone.
Marvel at your new ROM
its greyed out. do i have to download amon recovery first?
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
ok i did this and it told me that it wasnt found and then when i typed in the reboot part it said not permitted.
You obviously did not use ok's instructions above, so what instructions or programs are you trying to use? Clockworks recovery always loads a zip file from the sd card as stated above. Also with this method you do not use a computer at all, maybe to get the zip file to the sd card.

Is Amon the factory? I just want to get my phone back to the factory setting. I tried to unroot my captivate using a one-click app, but it didn't remove the superuser privileges. Do I need to remove this clockworkmod first? If so where can I get this AMON file?
Sorry, I know I probably sound like a moron, but I am new to this Android crap.

no Amon is a custom recovery. try downloading the stock RUU from your service provider and using that. i am not sure if that will re-flash the recovery back to stock, but that is the only thing that i can think of to tell you to try.
Is clockwork recovery necessary for all roms or can i download a recovery to my phone?
Well if you could make a recovery based off of something else that had ext. 4 support then you could probably use that. Just the fact that there is already CWM for the MT already makes it easier. If you meant does it need to be installed then yes, you need it installed to flash different roms.
Can CWM be flashed through Rom Mgr? I tried bootloader and mobile and image and recovery img and i think i put in wrong folder. Everytime i try to get back into bootloader with pwr button and vol dwn. It goes right to M screen. How can i fix this?
Ok i get to download mode now where do i put the extracted recovery folder in image? Do i place with recovery img or down at the bottom?. When i take battery out and put back. I pwr and simitaneously vol buttons. I get the triangle !. What am i doing wrong. Oh and im on ver 2.2.2
It's real easy all you need to do is Volume down then power sometimes it's a pain in the ass but keep repeating the steps until you see white writing on the screen, then plug it into your PC, it should bring up a drive called mobile there will be a folder open the folder & replace only the recovery image then reboot. Should be all good. Then press volume up & down & power should boot into clockwork.
Did u install CM7 first?
You can't install CM7 or any other rom "first" using stock recovery. As far as I have seen CWM is the only alternative to the stock recovery.
Well, I've been trying to work my way through this one, but I'm unable to find an answer. I tried to flash the UCLD2 firmware ICS leak on my SR and it didn't work, and now the phone goes on an endless boot loop. My phone was rooted with stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and I had clockworkmod installed. I did a full back up with Titanium Backup as well. I saw a page in android authority detailing how to flash it using clockwork mod and followed the clockworkmod method:
Flashing via ClockworkMod Recovery
NOTE: You will be needing a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) installed. Check out our guide on how to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrocket. You can also refer to this guide on how to root your phone running Android 4.0.3 UCALC4 firmware. For ClockworkMod Recovery, check this guide on how to flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery to your phone.
Download the following to your computer:
Download the CWM-flashable UCLD2 package from here (skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, md5sum: 5cb721bcacdadf7de2b0b9f041acc114).
Download the root fix file from here (su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, 164 kB).
Download the Facebook and Samsung keyboard fix here (UCLD2FontHotfix.zip, 226 kB).
Copy the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, and UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to the root of your phone’s SD card.
Switch off your mobile phone.
Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do that, press the Volume Up key, Volume Down key, and Power button simultaneously until Recovery Mode boots. NOTE: Once in Recovery Mode, use the Volume keys to navigate and Power button to select an option.
Perform a full wipe by doing the following:
Go to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and confirm the action on the next screen.
Select Wipe Cache Partition and confirm the action on the next screen.
From the main menu, select Advanced. From there, select Wipe Dalvik Cache and confirm the action on the next screen.
Go to Mounts and Storage and select Format /system on the next screen. Select Yes on the next screen to begin formatting your system.
Go back to the main menu and select Install ZIP from SD Card. Select Choose ZIP from SD Card and highlight the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip. Confirm the action on the next screen to begin flashing the ZIP file to your phone.
Repeat step 6 but this time flash su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip to your phone. You will meet an error message after flashing this file. Just ignore the error message.
NOTE: Ignore the error after flashing this file. Just go to Superuser and make an update after booting your phone.
Flash the UCLD2FontHotfix.zip file in the same manner as in step 6.
After installing the 3 files, go back to the main menu and select Advanced. From there, select Fix Permissions.
Go back to the main menu and select Reboot system now to restart your mobile phone.
Once your phone has rebooted into Normal Mode, launch the Superuser app and update the su binaries.
Congratulations! You have successfully updated your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket SGH-I727 to the leaked Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware UCLD2.
I did everything detailed in the clockworkmod method, was very careful and checked everything multiple times. Once I did those steps when I tried to reboot the system it goes on an endless boot loop. Sometimes it gets to the splash screen, sometimes it doesn't. No error messages are displayed, it just keeps booting. I am able to access clockworkmod, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've re-downloaded the three files listed in the article and I've redone all the steps, with the same results (obviously...). Not sure what my next step is at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use a 1 click release...
Hello.
Your solution:
Put the phone into Download mode, and install the leak from the original 1 click odin release by DesignGears.
How to do it?
1st, search in the forums the location of the firmware, be sure to use the 1 click release, there are 3 leaks, for me the second was the best, probably for you the 3rd will be better, use one of those 2.
Be sure to have all drivers for your phone installed, and be sure Kies wont start when you connect the phone.
Power the phone off, by removing the battery.
Press, Vol up and Down at the same time, while keeping them pressed, connect the USB cable, then, run the 1 click binary.... wait some minutes while it says it is done and enjoy!!!!
Hope it helps, if any problems arise, let us know. I will check the thread later today and tomorrow.
Thank you! Working on it right now. I'll update you on how it goes.
Hope it ends fine for you!
Worked like a charm! Not sure why it didn't work the other way. Regardless, thank you so very much.
Nice!!!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guide is for the Australian samsung galaxy ace plus S7500T.
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Download 0din, it allows you to flash samsung devices.
2. Put the phone into download mode.. to do so, have the phone completely off and hold volume down + home button + power, then press up.
3. Connect phone via USB to computer and open odin, you should see the device come up, tick PDA and select the recovery.tar file attached, leave all other settings as is and flash.
4. Once flashed, to get to recovery mode, have the phone completely off push and hold volume up + volume down + home + power, you will enter custom recovery.
5. Extract rootme.zip on your computer and while your phone is connected and in custom recovery, execute runme.bat – this will root the phone.. you may need to run the batch file twice.

So now you should be running a custom recovery and have root access on your device.....
Flashing a custom ROM isn't too hard, though you will need to use the phones original boot.img with the new ROM for it to work.
Thank you very much, take some time looking for ways to rooting my s7500t. This is the first article I find where there is a functional description. Thanks again.
No worries, I know how hard it was for myself to figure out the process, as there is next to no information regarding our (t) model.

that supersu will work on anything... you just need to flash CWM...
So it must flash cwm first, is it will get yellow triangle and binary counter?
is there temporary cwm?

nope... we wont have yellow triangle or binary counter count... we are not note/note2/s3/s4
Thanks. So there is no yellow triangle or binary counter effect when flashing via odin for 7.7.

True. We're in the same scenario and i thought they didn't care at all about users installing custom roms. One time, i go to their shop to service my unit because of software issues. I was surprised that they recommend me to flash my own unit using odin, even my unit is still under warranty. I think they are too lazy to flash a unit that is still under warranty because it covers it all (No pay). Another day i visit their store and i noticed their 2 tabs has Supersu on it. LOL.
This is is my 1st time to use odin pc to my tab. I frequently used mobile odin pro on my android devices. That's right! Flash to the max!

Can someone describe how to root the P6800 with Stock JB in detail? I have tried following the links in the earlier posts, but with no success. I had it rooted with 4.0.4, and need root to get a higher volume.. cwm-6.0.3.0-p6800.tar did not work with Odin. isn't there a zip file so I can root from standard recovery?
