First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:

Odin can be found here:

Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

I've got root and cwtouch recovery from reading here..I do appreciate everyone's help..thanx.

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either

Root Problem. Any Advice? EDIT: posted in wrong thread

Alright my friend gave me his rooted captivate because he thought he bricked it. Turns out it was fine. Used odin one click and its back to stock. The phone is still rooted but now theres nothing in recovery but options to delete user data and cache and to reboot system. I want to flash a different rom but i cant. Do i need to reroot it or is that not even necessary? Not sure for a solution to this problem. I looked at quite a few threads already and they dont really help so im just getting a second opinion for help.
ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS APRECIATED
Edit:sorry posted in wrong thread.

Really, dude, read the stickies/dev section. You need to flash a kernel that has CWM recovery baked in.

Ok what rom did you nan back to? You may want to flash Scotts rom which is very close to stock and see if that fixes the problem. Plus this is in the wrong section you needed general forum.

First partner this is in the wrong section, pretty sure you sent releasing anything. Second it sounds like you sim card went bad, get a new one from Verizon. Also, it doesn't hurt to Odin back to factory it can cure a lot if problems. I like to do it every now and then just to clean up.

Status Error 7 Problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket for AT&T. I have been rooted for a year now. I have installed a ton of roms over this time period.
However, now, everytime I try to install a ROM I always get the Status 7 Error message.
-I have wiped the phone 3-4 times before attempting to install a rom
-I updated CWM to 6.0.1.3 (latest version)
-I have installed a kernel first before attempting to install a ROM
-I have used a MacBook and a regular PC desktop to download the ROMs
I did everything above to try and see if the different ways work, but nothing did.
Now I can't use my phone since I can't install a ROM. Could someone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Here are my few suggestions:
Might try using odin to go back to stock. The sticky threads around here should be helpful for that.
Have you tried TWRP? Or sk8r's CWM touch? Some people have better luck with one recovery over others.

Why? Its a question, and its not specific to a certain ROM.

Can you provide me a link to his/her thread? I can't seem to find it so I can download it.
It's weird cause I just started having this problem with CWM.

All you need to do is mod one file in a ROM zip called the updater script

What do I change in that file?
Also, why did this occur now and not before?

Take out the top couple lines involving the word assert and showing a model number
It happens due to ROM makers putting that in to protect from bricks there is normally a toggle in recoveries to ignore it
Edit: in the time its taken to make all those posts you could have Google searched and had it fixed in about 5 mins

Negative. I did a ton of thread digging, I know I can just revert back to original rom with ODIN, but I'd rather not do it. I am looking for the simplest answer so that I can create a thread about it for people who do not want to search for hours and complete those lucrative tasks.
Also, MOST answers are like yours; they tell people what to do, but if people don't understand the 'lingo', the answer is useless. People need/want specifics, and that is what I am trying to do in the thread I am going to create. People shouldn't have to dig in threads with over 100+ pages.
Thank you for your help though.

Google never xda search dude there is step by steps that would take all of 3 mins to find

What does this mean??

My friend has a sidekick 4g and this screen appeared on his phone. No response..can't get it to recovery or download. I have a Skyrocket so I don't know what this screen is. Is it bricked? I think he was trying to put CWN on with Odin when it happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there fellow XDA'er,
That is a different screen for download mode on the SK4G. I dont know what you mean by using Odin to flash CWM on the device. Odin is a program used to reflash the original firmware on the device. Odin can use that screen to flash the original firmware on your device, it may be soft bricked.
First you could use this to firmware and pit file for the SK4G to flash with Odin. --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885482) add http to that. I cant post links yet :\
Then you and your friend should follow this thread for getting CWM on your device --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453) again add the http but remove the ().
The recovery correct update.zip file used on the SK4G can be found here --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965239) Again with the http...
I think I covered everything you should look further into these forums next time though there is usually a thread posted needing this same help. Just trying to help out. Free to ask questions if I missed anything.

Thanks for your help. I'm not new to flashing or Odin but my friend is. I told him to join XDA and he can get all the answers he needs if he just searches and READS! LOL As for this post..oops..I just broke the search rule myself. Lol Thanks again
