But I've one question.
Does your Skyrocket gps fix time is fast in your vietnam country?
Normally gps lock time is about 5~10 sec.
because, I will purchase skyrocket, but some of phones are using agps surver using
their own country.(for example, T-mobile G2x using T-mobile a-gps server,
So it will cause gps fix laggy)

thanks you
GPS fix super fast here. If the weather good it make take just a few second. I am trying flash T989 rom to see if anything better.

you're welcome.
I think overseas users make a thread.
Isn't it? hehe
I am very very wodner that compatibility to
AT&T ROM(727) , Rogers ROM(727R), T-mobile ROM(989) all models?
For example, I will use to Odin.
* If I have a i727 ATT Device,
1) flash to i727R ? not bricked?
2) flash to i989 ? not bricked?
If I get a i727 ATT device, I will flash i727 Rogers ROM.
Because AT&T have many pre-load apks. And too many customizing.

[Q] Rogers i727R

I took my rogers sg2 lte i727R to a guy who I'm assuming flashed a telus radio. I had him do this that I can use it on WIND mobile and it works 100% on WIND. My question is can I upgrade to ics or even a custom rom without losing or disabling what he did.
model number
sgh i727r
android version
2.3.5
baseband version
T989DTLKJ3
kernel version
2.6.35.11
build number
GINGERBREAD.RUXKJ7
I'm also wondering if there is a different radio or modem, whatever it may be that I can flash that would work a bit better than this one. Thanks guys.

I'm pretty sure the radio has to be I727RUXUMA7, since I'm with Fido (same as Rogers) and that's what my radio band is.

i727r ics

who has rom ics 4.04 from i727r ? and upload the picture how the rom ?
the rom i727r to be work if install to i727 at&t

Sorry, it's very difficult to understand what you're asking.
Are you looking for the official (stock) Rogers ICS rom that was released in June? You should be able to get this update through KIES, but if you're looking for the .tar file...
Some searching of this forum for the firmware revision name (I727RUXLF3) turned up this:
http://d-h.st/m9P
Samsung also has a firmware repository so you could download from them directly (Probably safer), you will need to make an account though:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4967#
You will need to know how to use ODIN in order to flash this, do some research and reading about how to use ODIN, because you can mess up your phone if you click the wrong thing.
My understanding is that the official Rogers ROM will NOT work with an AT&T phone. You would need to use a custom ROM based on the latest AT&T leak (UCLF5), as they have not yet released an ICS rom to my understanding (Someone correct me if I am wrong...).
If that's not what you're asking then please try to clarify.

im pretty sure hes asking who has the rogers ics rom and if they do can they upload pictures (probly battery and stuff) and whether the rogers ics release can be used on the at&t skyrocket

Stock Rogers ICS rom available from sammobile.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

yes this my question
rogers ics release can be used on the at&t skyrocket
It is possible to use or that it is suitable only for 727R
I have the ATT
If the install of Rogers will not be a problem so ask
2. Is there 14 toggle for ics 4 from rogers?

Hi Eli,
I also have Rogers Stock ICS 4.0.4 from Sammobile and am looking for the 14 Toggle Mod in the notification bar.
So far, I cannot find anything and nobody has posted a reply. I tried to mod this ROM myself but I'm not experienced enough with ODEX ROMs.
Here is the thread I've posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757197
I hope you get an answer to your questions.

ok but your phone this i727 att
my phone i727
the rom i727r worked with i727 att?

I have the Rogers i727r with stock ICS rooted.
If you have an ATT i727, I think the Rogers ICS will work but maybe not perfectly.
What is your reason to put the Rogers ICS on an i727 ATT phone? Wouldn't it be best to use the stock ATT ROM?

beacuse att not yet out ics
this very Annoying
and i want ics
ok thank you man

[Q] Skyrocket on Telus - But want to use Telus LTE

Hello I've been viewing for a while haven't posted cause I've had no real solid input or questions but after some in-depth searching for a few weeks I simply cannot find a way to get LTE with Telus and the skyrocket.
I don't want to flash the Telus radios in this area of the forums because it's made for the T989d. That radio will only give me HSPA+.
So I tired flashing the latest Telus S3 radio and for a while I was getting LTE fairly regularly except the baseband version in about still showed the original version for Rogers and I have no idea if it actually flashed.
I recently flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 v4.2 and it's running great and so I went to flash the S3 radio again and about still doesn't show the new version, yet according to TWRP the flash was successful. I have yet to see LTE since flashing just "H" and "H+".
Is the S3 radio really any different from the skyrocket? and if so are there any Telus LTE compatible phones similar (WRT the radio) to the skyrocket that I can take a radio from?
Thanks in advance

Wind Mobile- Canada (GTA) This WORKS GREAT

Ok, so I tested a few roms and found out the hard way.
This is WHAT WORKS.
ROM- Slimbean 4.2.2 (The Official 8 build is what I used at the time build 6 did not work for me the first time)[Build 8][August 6 2013]
Use the ROM in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158157
modem - Blaze4G UVMB1
third down from the top
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
kernel- using the one with the ROM
The other Blaze4g modem works BUT it drops the signal and shows up as UNKNOWN in baseband. The only way to get the signal back is to reflash the modem file from recovery.
Follow the directions for the ROM
USE TWRP and wipe and format your system 2-3 times to be safe.
The battery life is very good and the signal is always 3-4 bars (full signal) and it does connect at H+ LTE speeds.
* the problem is current modems/radios are not compatible with all 4.2.2 ROMS. Most modems are meant for 4.1.2 ROMS.

Old and repeated info
Sorry to burst your bubble but any TW rom or CM (4.1.2) for Skyrocket will work , kernel too
The radio is the essential point...And everybody in need for AWS bands to get HSPA reception is told to use UVMB1....lol
Your other Blaze radio didn't work simply because it's not a JB-compatible radio....
It might not work for everybody equally since network connectivity is affected by many variables , tower congestion , equipment , interference , load on network and many more ....

ANY rom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 will work, it was the radio that u needed. Happy to hear you got it sorted and are running well

I don't think that is accurate.
The kernel can also be a factor.
From what I found and tested some ROMS/kernels/modems work much better than others.
From my findings this setup works really good, always a high signal and very good battery life.
