flashing T-mobile S2 T989 stock rom in i727 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

since no one was able to help me with this problem, i figured a workaround would be to install the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 stock 4.1.2 rom on the skyrocket, which is a supported device for the ISIS system.
so is there a way i can flash the stock t989 rom on the i727?
i don't care about losing some functionality, like lte, as the flash will only be temporary. i'll switch back to i727 when i need to.
if someone can please provide me a guide on how to accomplish this, i'll really appreciate it.
thanks!

From my experience I've read some of the guide and they haven't worked out to well.
I suggest the following.
Install T989 recovery to avoid modifying settings
Do all the wipes like usual, flash T989 ROM
Flash the stock skyrocket kernel that matches the T989 rom that you're flashing.
I've had good success flashing skyrocket modem (LTE worked like usual)
The above gave me, a not perfect, but best experience, a working ROM and more importantly a working camera. Rotation fix didn't fix everything so I suggest the above.

Hi OP, I bought an i727 and started to wonder about the same thing. And I'm on T-mo. So did drago's method work for you? Thanks

i actually didn't try it out to be honest. got an S4 shortly after.

[Info] Telstra Galaxy S2 4G Root

Hey all,
Just wanted to let everyone know i used the root/cwm mod for "SGH-I727 and SGH-I727R Skyrocket" on this phone last night and it worked perfectly.
This new galaxy s2 4g is telstra latest released phone which only came out yesterday.
For those wondering phone model is actually "I9210T"
Crikey, Mate...cheers!
I am assuming then that this has the Qualcomm processor if CWM and root work.
Have you tried flashing any Skyrocket/Rogers roms yet?
Edit: Hmmm....looks like this is basically the international Samsung Galaxy SII LTE. It is nice to see that our community continues to grow. Just be careful when flashing roms. The new ICS leak works for the AT&T Skyrocket but does not work for Rogers yet so you never know until you try. Also, we can flash SGSII T989 roms as well but have to use our own kernel because the orientation is flipped.

No haven't tried any other rom's yet, only got the phone yesterday. So today is the test to see how long battery life is on 4G.
Also forgot to mention i had to download superuser from the market, as the one supplied from the download link failed to install through CWM.

Good to see someone close to home on such a big forum. Will check out ocau.

It would be interesting to test modem/radio from your phone on t989 or i727.
Does anybody have flashable modem?
any new info or updates before i mess around with mine ?

Restoring stock recovery?

Hi,
I have the Japanese S2 LTE, for which there appear to be no custom ROMs. So I'll have to (urgh, this is not why I bought an Android phone) use the carrier's ROM. BUT when I try to do an OTA update, it boots into CWM. I assume this is because the OTA update is setup to work with the stock recovery. So does anyone know where I can get the stock recovery from? I assume I'll need to use Odin?
edit: more info:
Model: SC-03D
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband: SC03SOMLB9
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-SC03DOMLB9-CL980106
[email protected] #2
Build number: gingerbread.OMLB9
Also, I'm pretty sure the recovery will be the same as the Skyrocket. Almost everything about the phones is the same, save for the buttons and LTE chip.
TIA
Not sure of your model number, but a quick Google search came up with this...

Let me know if it's what you're looking for and, if not, we'll keep trying.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, SC-03D. It's the Japanese LTE model on Docomo. The LTE radio is different, and it only has one hard button with two touch buttons (like the original Galaxy S).
That thread is titled just Galaxy S 2 - will that work on an LTE?

For any future reference - I found a complete stock Docomo ROM on SamMobile and flashed it in Odin. My phone is now being treated (by Kies/OTA update) as a fully up to date, unmodified phone. Not that that really helps, Docomo still haven't released ICS. In October 2012. Still on Gingerbread. Yep.

Please help: Newbie with T-Mobiles Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L Newest build
Please forgive me if I've over looked any other post about this. I am definitely, a complete infant when it come to phones. I did manage to root a Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865) which I paid to have unlocked from AT&T. I never did anything to the phone other than root it; didn't know what to do after that. I did install Titanium Backup, Superuser, and froze some apps but that's it.
I now have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Lte SGH-T999L with Android Version 4.3; Baseband Version: T999LUVUBNF4;
Build Number: JSS15J.T999LUVUBNF4.
I would love to root this phone, install mods, kernels,etc. but the main thing I'm worried about first is removing bloatware and apps that I don't use but I cant find anything recent that shows how to root, remove bloatware,etc.on a Galaxy S3 Lte with this newer Build Number.
Please, if there is anyone that can point me in the right direction, give me a step-by-step.....I don't know how to downgrade a phone to stock (whatever that means,maybe the way the phone came out of the box???) I want to learn badly and I know every phone is different but I can't afford to mess up the only two phones I have; especially the Galaxy S3 LTE. I would greatly appreciate ANY HELP just remember, I don't know much of anything at all. I can take and read directions...might have to read them more than once but what the hell.

Need help flashing ND8 firmware.

I was looking at how-to's for flashing a custom ROM onto my new phone (which I rooted with TowelRoot), and it said you need ND8 firmware to flash an ND8 ROM. However, I can't find this anywhere. Can someone help me out? I'm looking to flash LiquidSmooth, eventually, not for any particular reason other than I don't really like the default and it was recommended to me.

Unless it's a typo, the Sprint Galaxy S5 does not have an ND8 version. Also, AFAIK, there isn't a LiquidSmooth rom for the Sprint S5 either. You posted over on MOAR, so I'm sure with a little more information on what you've done so far (and more reading on your part), we'll get you up and running.

Yeah, I realized after I posted this that I was still in Galaxy S3 mode and that it's probably different for S5. I've done as much reading as I could find, but it didn't really help me too much. A lot of terminology that I didn't understand.
This thread can be closed, if'n that would please the people.

[Q] Advice plz Re flashed ROM on S4 (baseband problem)

I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.
Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)
That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.
