How to Root official ICS build UCLF6

Any root options available yet for the new Samsung official ICS release build UCLF6 for ATT??, Thnks

Wrong forum. That's a Skyrocket release, I think.

<facepalm>

Moving to what should be the correct forum...

Yes. Same method ever since we got ICS beta. install CWM recovery. boot into it. flash superuser zip. You need to try installing it 2-4 times on top of itself until it says it is successful.

There are already many threads on how to root ics. A simple Google or xda search would help you in finding the info you seek without starting another pointless thread. My advice read the stickies read the stickies read the stickies.....

I considered rooting my gf's stock ICS but didn't want to have to manually update her phone so CWM appeared to be problematic; she likes to be able to update it the normal way. Is this unfeasible?

Well, chances are we won't be getting any more updates and if we do get jb from att it will be a ways down the road. So, you may not have the chance to update anymore if u remain stock (UNrooted that is). Cwm is actually quite simple to use once u start using it.

you can flash cwm and when you want stock you can flash back to stock firmwares and receive "future" updates, but you can always flash stock with odin as odin doesnt care if you are rooted or not, any future updates well it seems sammobile posts stock firmwares on their site .
in my sig theres a link on how to odin stock

www <dot> androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-skyrocket-att-sgh-i727-android-4-0-3-root-72082/
(Except I had to use a different Recovery program, since for some reason, some of them won't mount /sdcard/ on my phone. Also, be sure to hit it 2-4 times like Lucidmike said.)

Flash Noob

I have a rooted skyrocket, with touch clockworkmod, and i was wondering. If i were to flash a rom onto my skyrocket, and i decided to return to stock, can i still flash it using cwm or must i use odin? I saw a thread earlier informing to use odin to get back to stock, but im just making sure its ok that i use cwm instead thanks. Sorry again, im a noob

Cwm will stay on your phone. Just use a rom thats rooted. (If it doesnt say its not then it surely is) all will be well.

Yes stock rooted. This can be done in cwm and will save u time. You won't have to flash in Odin and take the time to flash cwm / reroot

Definitely. There were multiple threads that we both responded to earlier about rooting, returning to stock, etc and as u described I kept rewriting the same thing over again and finding links for people. You take care of it all right there! Good stuff for everyone in the community!

if the dev of the rom says its ok to use rom manager, fine, but if you are having problems w/said rom dont go trying to find solutions if your first problem was using rom manager, you just wont know if thats the cause or not.
cwm is your friend, its easy to use, and gives you the user the the power of android........yes i said it , i almost wrote the power of grey skull(heman quote)

U can use rom manager but problems are much more likely. I recommend doing any cwm activities from within cwm itself. I flashed for the first time 1 month ago and I fully understand where u are coming from. It may look intimidating but once u start it is quite simple

Yes I like Sky ICS much better than stock. When I say stock though I refer to 2.3.6. I haven't use stock 4.0.4. And yes I love Sky ICS. I highly recommend it. The rom is very stable, smooth, good battery life and great dev (SeanZ)

Questions about rooting sgh-i727 ATT

Hello, i'd like to root my sgh-i727 from ATT with ICS 4.0.4 installed (updated from ginger bread when i got the phone), i have a few questions regarding the root.
-Will i need to re-install ICS after the root?
-Any know issues after the root (like wi-fi not working properly or any other issues)
-If any known issues after the root, what were they? Any solutions to those(if so?)
I read somewhere that after the root (not sure what method was used) the wi-fi stopped working, is that true?
thank you much

What's the upgrade path for me?

I am on 2.3.6 custom ROM which I got from here many many months ago. Its SuperCharged_V_5_Update_2.
How do I upgrade to a 4.0.4 ROM? Which one do I use?
I tried to read through many ROM threads here but I was lost because all of them were saying I need ICS before I could install that ROM. How do I get ICS before I get ICS....

My apologies. I did not realize when I asked this question. This used to be my default forum to come to back when I was more active developer like. Yeah, its been about a year or close to it.

This was reported to the moderators.
In the future please just report these things, rather than posting in the thread, it just causes issues and as we have seen it upsets people.
Reporting a post is simple, just click the triangle with the ! in it on the first post of the thread and mark the report as non-urgent.
Thanks!

Man, I am good

I'm on i535VRLHE and I want to root. Which method is best?

I'm coming from att's SG3 and I know the Verizon version is different. My confusion is in the guide. The first section uses Odin to flash 4.1 Jelly Bean and section 2 uses the debug to flash ICS. I want to flash cleanrom, so does it matter if I use Odin for 4.1 or the debug to root my stock 4.0 rom?

Cleanrom already rooted, so you don't need to go back to ICS to root.

Yep just follow section 2...that section is for folks on stock ICS.
Section 1 is for folks who feel the need to odin back to stock, but want to upgrade to jellybean in the process. I suggest if you ever want to upgrade to jellybean download a recovery flashable version and flash in cwm after completing section 2. This way you will never trip the flash counter(not that its a big issue as you will just have to download the app triangle away to reset it).
*I plan on revising the guide to make things a bit more clear on which root method to use. Im just waiting for the OTA to drop before making any major changes.

Cool! And you mean a recovery flash version as in cleanrom?
