I apologize if these have ever been asked. I just barely have purchased the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and have been doing research on it but haven't found a direct answer to some questions so I am really hoping someone here will help me out.
1. When does the Official OTA of the ICS 4.0 get released for this phone or is it already released? (I am waiting for my battery to charge fully for 24 hours as I was told before turning it on and checking for updates)
2. If there is no Official OTA date of the ICS 4.0 in the next few weeks would you recommend I root the phone and put on a custom ROM?
3. If yes to question #2, which ROM? Is it in Beta or Alpha Mode?
4. If yes again to question 2 & no to question 3, where can I get this ROM? Could you please send me the URL to the download and instructions.
I would be FOREVER grateful to any and all that can give me advice on this new phone of mine as I am quite excited to give it a try but I noticed so many phones like this have the official OTA of ICS 4.0 and I would LOVE Ice Cream Sandwich if possible. THANKS so MUCH!

1) No one knows
2) Yes
3) You need to read the forums and quit posting
4) Read the forums and quit posting
5) Read some more
And then you can use roms such as seanz sky ICS, nexus mod ics, mhx, and so on.
I'm sorry, but there's no way that u did ANY research and are asking those questions. We have stickies that answer them all in pretty much the first op. Soo, i'll explain the point xcrazy is getting at. No one minds helping new users, but help yourself first. The search feature is your friend, as well as reading. No one here became an expert overnight, but by reading and researching, and asking valid questions. Not by being spoon fed

Hello! I have a simple question for y'all.
I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that I recently updated to ICS 4.0.4 (I727UCLF6). I was wondering how I might go about rooting said firmware/whatever to run Superuser? I don't care for a custom ROM, just stock with Superuser access. I am familiar with using ODIN as I once ran a Superuser-enabled Gingerbread. Might any of you be of help and point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it! Google has failed me in finding the information I need and it looks like a lot of the old forums are down.
If any of y'all can help, please do!

SKY ICS 4.2f6
Okaaaay... well, my apologies for ending up in the wrong forums. Sorry, I did not see a listing for the Skyrocket when looking through the different threads and such. My bad. You'll have to excuse me for not knowing my way around.
So, I see a fair share of folks makin' "oohs and ahhs", waving the good ol' e-peen about and in general being rather boisterous about a simple mistake... anybody here able to link me to something of use? Once again, I apologize for not being able to navigate the forum with ease. Perhaps a few more friendly faces and less folk simply looking to add to their post count commenting on the most mundane of errors might be of help? I would imagine there's got to be quite a few folk here who can be of service. Also to the poster who mentioned the SKY ICS, I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Though, I very well could be wrong. Still trying to get a hang of this. Perhaps a guide or walkthrough of sorts? As I said before, all I want is to root and run Superuser.
Thanks in advance!
No read the stickies up top read them all understand them then you can try and root
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Check the stickies in this section on how to flash a recovery. From there, you really only need to flash the su files. A zip can be found in the Paranoid Android post in the development section that contains just the superuser files, but at that point you can also flash any number of roms as well. Your call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Fair enough. I suppose I'll tear through those and see what's all in them.
ok so there have been alot of threads about the screen wake up when getting a text and i agree its stupid and annoying that theres no option to turn it off, and that most roms that are out here still have it!!! except for aokp and cm10 and a few others, so im asking kindly can someone please figure this out?!?!

I have to agree with the op. Threads not in development get overlooked quickly. They fall of the radar fast. I have a way to do this on stock TW without flashing files and going back to your back up, etc. But just like this guy, getting bashed for the wrong area, I'm apprehensive about posting my results. Is the fix app related? Development? General? Depends on who you talk to. Once I get a solid answer from a moderator, I will post my finds.
EDIT: I feel personally the fix should go in development. A lot of people are asking for this in all the ROMs.

The problem is if everyone posts there question in development then it still become like q & a and we won't be able to find actual development. I gave the op the answer. All you do is flash it in cwm and then it there will be a setting in the stock messaging app.

Some people may be stock rooted. May not have custom recovery. They may be happy with stock just want the nagging screen on to go away. That's all I'm doing is tweaking the stock ROM. Just FYI.

Well that's a nice tweak. I'm stock rooted myself (now) but I put a recovery on simply to do backups and ensure I don't get an ota. However many point was if they allows questions in the development thread then out will become bogged down like the other sections. Also, the op made a duplicate post in the correct section that was answered

Hello guys im really getting sick of the bloatware on Blaze and want to get rid of it and i also want to root my phone. But im literally terrified to do so cause i heard it could possibly brick and i seriously do not have the money to buy another phone and also this is my first time rooting. My blaze is currently running 4.0.4 ics with Baseband version T769UVMB1. It would be a great help if someone could shed some light on the possibilitiy of bricking or destroying my phone, also it would also be great if someone could give me a root guid that is compatible with my Blaze and its baseband version

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

It seems they want us using the guide for UVLH5 although I followed it precisely (twice) and was unsuccessful.
you can disable bloatware apps with ics
you'd be able to permanently remove them with root
From what I've read on here, the Blaze is pretty hard to brick and if you do, fairly easy to fix. There's a thread on here by beastmode that lays out the exact process in rooting our phone running ICS. I'd never done it before, either, but followed the guide, Googled the info I didn't know, and it went seamlessly.

I believe the Beastmode thread you mentioned is the one I linked, and followed twice, unsuccessfully
It lays out instructions for rooting our ICS Blaze on firmware UVLH5. I (and the op) have firmware UVMB1. They are both ICS 4.0.4, I wouldn't think the process would be any different, and I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.
In that thread, there are a couple people using that version of ICS that rooted just fine. Odd it didn't work for you. Did you place the zip on your internal or external sd card?

I tried a few more times today, and in combination with a separate root toolkit app, allowing "save root," I've gotten it settled.
Finally decided to try a custom rom, I'm tired of waiting for verizon to update the S3 to Premium Suite Upgrade.
Is there any roms out there that are stable and have the multi window function, I'm not looking for anything fancy just simple but that includes all the features that were left iut with the 4.1.2 update.
If youccould point me to the right direction I'd appreciate it
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
please do some research and read. there are probably more than 5 of the roms that meet your criteria in the development section.
you need to try roms and read and see what meets your needs. there are guides and similar threads all over this forum.
there are some small features in some that arent available in others that will make people want certain roms.
put a little effort in, itll serve you well. its obvious youve put in 0% effort.
I was just hoping for some examples from users who have had experience.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
the threads of teh roms are filled with experiences, opinions and impressions. what more do you really want?
I mean, the titles of the roms and original posts have all the information youd really ever need.
we see these threads daily and they get closed. theres a wealth of info here. dig in.
5-7 posts down from this.....theres a 30 page thread dedicated to limiting posts like this.

OK I will suggest the 3 best ROMs IMO to you; Synergy, MOAR & Hyperdrive. They all have the multi window and are fast with many mods.

I wont respond with a jerk answer. Bro try synergy rom, hyperdrive rom, or beanstown rom. Im personally drawn to using any rom by deviant. Sons of android, deviant one, there's a couple. Not to mention the support in the threads are great. I recently tried synergy. Great rom, and great support aswell. Synergy is very very stable. Just make sure u read the o.p. prior to flashing anything. Don't forget to unlock your bootloader.

Thanks I appreciate it bro, I think ill give synergy a try but I'm kinda confused about rooting and unlocking the boot loader on my phone, which one do I do first to I root first or unlock the bootloader and do you know any method of doing both that are up to date and will work with 4.1.2?, I hate to bug but I'd appreciate it if you couod help me with this

Not hard at all now was it.
That is because your question is asked and answered hundreds of times a week. It gets very repetaive.
Doing a google search for "4.1.2 root sch-i535" will give you plenty of results. Dont limit yourself to xda, check youtube and other sites as well. I spent a month on and off reserching methods and reading user errors before I rooted, unlocked and flashed. That is excessive but I wanted to minimize and fix any errors thst might come my way.
