[Q] Can I do this? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Quick question- Can I install Samsung stock firmware in Android system recovery (3e) through the option that says "apply update from external storage?"
I am asking this rather than just doing it from Odin b/c for some reason my phone wont go into download mode.

No. You'd need to get a signed zip from Samsung and good luck on that.
Edit Why don't you use kies of all you want is stock jb?

Kies Mini can install the needed drivers. Try uninstalling the ones you have then select "Install Drivers" from the menu.
If you don't want to try that route but want the stock 2.3.6 from Samsung (which is what Kies would install), then you can use ODIN. RaverX3X has an ODINable version of it here.

A rooted stock KB5/KC1/KD1 will work. If you're using a custom version of any of those roms you won't be able to upgrade.

Flash stock rim without computer?

Is there any way to flash stock rom without the use if Odin? Computer won't recognize phone and I have to send iT back for warranty after trying everything I can think of.

It's not clear what state your phone is in but if you can boot and have root mobile odin should work.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Bad Bootloader in Nexus S 4G

Hi, I made a bad flash bootloader I put in my Nexus S 4G a Bootloader.img of korean version. Now I'm not root and my USB can't set connection. All things are working less USB and CDMA radio. I can start in fastboot mode and download mode but the usb connection is broken. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475 but when I opened my nexus s 4G the electronics things was in different side. I made a USB to UART converter and I could see a linux debugger and a state console and sent me a message such as: The bootloader are not ready to start a USB connection. As I have a Android 4.0.4 working now I'm waiting a Jelly Bean Updated to patch a new Bootloader image. What do you recommend me to fix it?
Flash this.

Thanks you very much but I don't have CWM recovery and it can start in fastboot mode but my PC(Windows MAC and Linux) doesn't recognize it when I plug in it. I thing the protocol USB is broken for the bad bootloader for this reason I can't set connection with fastboot or download mode.

Yes. People pull the downloaded ota and your can flash it in stock recovery. I have the lg7 update straight from Verizon if you want it. I think it only works on lf2. If your on lg1 I think you need a different one.

If you're stock and not rooted, you should be getting updates over the air from Verizon, you don't need to apply them manually.

I am not trying to be rude but did you read my original post? When I try to update OTA I get a popup saying "Service Unavailable" It's like my phone isn't connecting to Verizon's servers to get the OTA. So I need to apply them manually, unfortunately...if possible

Sorry, I missed that. As long as you aren't rooted and haven't otherwise messed with the phone at all, I'd go ahead and call Verizon and see what they can do. You should be getting updates OTA and if you are not through no fault of your own, it's their responsibility to fix it, especially with the huge security hole that was found in these phones recently.
I had a VW S3 that wasn't receiving the update for OTA and when I talked to the rep he said to use Kies. Kies does say that it will update your phone but I had a problem connecting it. The only way the app will update is if you have your phone connected through USB. I tried and tried and tried but I couldn't get the computer to see my phone in the Kies program to sync it. It would connect through WiFi real quick.

Give Samsung a call because on the website it does away that Kies will update your software over USB.

[Q] Samsung Infuse CWM Without USB?

Hi XDA Developers!
I am a noobie at all of this developing stuff. Although I need some help with an old Samsung Infuse 4G. The Micro USB port is broken and I am stuck with the stock recovery for some reason. I have SuperSU installed and it works properly. The stock recovery keeps on saying "signature verification failed" when I try to download a custom ROM. I would like to flash Beanstock 4.4.2 KitKat on the device. I understand all risks of messing with CWM with a broken Micro USB port. Is there any way I can get the CWM Recovery on my device without a Micro USB port? I am very thankful for all your responses.
Thank You All In Advance,
Infuse Dude

If you have a broken usb port or one that doesn't work properly, use the stock rom that comes with it.
you will have a functional phone with a bad usb port.
If you try to install custom recovery and custom rom, you will end up with a useless piece of hardware.
fix the port or abandon your kk dream.
Oh, I knew that, but still doesnt work
