[MOD] ROOT | CWM | ODIN | SGH-I727 and SGH-I727R Skyrocket

ROOT THE AT&T SGH-I727 AND SGH-I727R SKYROCKET
​
This procedure does not trigger the Flash Counter, no ! yellow triangle at boot!!!
This method will flash a custom recovery image and then you can flash the superuser.zip file or custom rom to root your phone.
This will root 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.
This requires knowledge with the use of ODIN (Read a guide).
BE CAREFUL because this can harm your phone and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOES!!!!
DO NOT HAVE "RE-PARTITION" CHECKED IN ODIN!!!!
First Things you need to have:
*You Need ODIN 1.8++(CLICK ME)
*The USB Drivers for Our Skyrocket
*Clockworkmod Recovery which you are going to flash via ODIN(THIS FILE DOES NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE!)
Code:
recovery.tar MD5 Checksum 9ffa2458019af7974ef4820d0cf5992c
*Superuser+Su files to flash in clockworkmod Or download your favorite custom rom. There is a good list here
*SDCARD installed for CWM Recovery
FIRST STEPS.......
*Install the drivers and make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
*Place the "superuser.zip" on your EXTERNAL SD card.
Or place a custom rom on your EXTERNAL SD card.
If you want STOCK rooted then use the superuser.zip, if your going to put a custom rom on anyway then you can use that rom.
***If you have never rooted or installed a custom rom before, I suggest using the superuser.zip method.***
NOW LETS INSTALL CWM RECOVERY........
*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug in the USB cable.
*SGH-I727R (Rogers) users hold Vol down and plug in the USB cable.
*Press Vol up to continue to Download Mode.
*Make sure Odin recognizes your phone as in this picture.

*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar that you downloaded earlier
*Make sure the Re-Partition box is NOT checked*
*Select Start and Odin will do its thing.
*It should flash the Recovery file and reboot the phone.
NOW LETS MAKE A BACKUP AND GET ROOTED!!!
*Unplug USB, Take the battery out, place it back, and boot into CWM recovery with the button combo below
*Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power.
*Once in CWM Recovery, navigate the menu by using the volume buttons and select with the power button.
*Select "backup and restore" and then select "backup".
Now CWM Recovery is backing up your current stock rom, it will take a few minutes, be patient.
*After back-up and while still in CWM recovery...
*Select "Install zip from sdcard", choose the superuser.zip, select "YES" and let it install, you may need to flash it about three times if you get errors. Even with the error, sometimes it still works.
(follow the custom rom developers instructions for install of that custom rom!!!!).
*Reboot your phone and check for the superuser app in your app drawer.
*Now you are rooted with CWM Recovery installed!
Have fun!!

A one-click, no-Odin method will be posted later.

Sweet! that will be easier yet, this might tide a few people over till then.

Do you have to use "ROM Manager" if you rooted via the zerg exploit or can I go back to using ODIN?

I've used both and rooted via zerg. I think the suggestion to use ROM Manager was just a simplified way to get into CWM.

use whatever you like but ROM Manager will allow for install of CWM with minimal fuss

I also believe that using the Odin method will/might trigger the flash counter?

It did trigger the flash counter.

Just to be clear, we can use the CWM for the T-Mobile SGS through ROM manager (just to flash CWM), correct? Are there any features not working?

Yes. I did it today and did a backup with no issues at all.

This method does not trigger the flash counter. Only using ODIN to flash a non-stock rom or kernel triggers the flash counter. This method only flashes a the Recovery partition and you use CWM to flash kernels or roms and root.
Entropy512 said:
The ! screen is triggered when you flash a non-stock kernel in download mode - and it's only triggered when flashing using that method. The warning screen "remembers" what you last flashed in download mode, but isn't aware of anything you've flashed using another method.

ODIN is necessary evil when it comes to Samsung phones, going back to stock, fixing major problems and flashing modems are best solved with ODIN.
I think this is the simplest way to obtain root and have CWM and not trigger the Flash Counter.

i messed something up
First time doing root myself, ran into a couple of issues.
First Odin on PC said Fail! after choosing recovery.tar file for PDA and clicking start. Phone was still stating "downloading & to not turn off target". Now phone says it's in Odin Mode with yellow triangle error stating "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Downloaded Kies to do recovery, but can't connect...even after re-installing drivers, both from Kies and the driver link from this post.
Im sure i screwed it up, but dont know what to do now....any help would be appreciated!

When using ODIN, be sure ODIN recognizes your phone like this picture.
Make sure no other programs are working in the background, like anti-virus or firewall, and make sure Kies is closed. They can mess up communication with ODIN and your phone.
Have you tried to boot into CWM?
If you can't, try flashing the recovery.tar again.
Then place |Melvin|'s stock rom on your external SD card and flash in CWM.

Stuck on Lg bootscreen - no recovery

Hello everyone, I tried to flash v30a baseband over my CM nightly, but now all I can see is the LG logo..
I've tried everything, including xbsall's resurrection guide, pandaball's guide, lg update tool etc.. but i can't find a way to fix it.
Can someone help me?

Ok, i've flashed v30a using that procedure. I'm still stuck on boot. I've followed your tutorial about wkpark's bootloader and recovery, but when I try to boot in recovery it just says "please wait for seconds.. power off.." and it shuts down again..
Then I've tried installing stock recovery in the same way, but that didn't work at all.. what can I do now?

Ok, I've done everything right, but nothing has changed.. perhaps I should try to flash a gingerbread kdz, but I wasn't able to find any of them :/

Had this issue yesterday. You will need wkpart bootloader to make it boot and flash recovery.
Follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43672348
After flashing this, recovery will work, so you can wipe data.

As I said before, I've already tried that one :/ when I boot in recovery using wkpark's bootloader, it just says "power of.." and then it shuts down. I've tried option three (twrp recovery) and 4(stock), I'll try to flash option one and see what happens (wkpark's bootloader+cwm recovery)

Hey guys so i had Team Eos 3.0 Stable wingray and i wanted to try the KitKat so i installed the omni rom this one here , i repartitioned to bigPart first then installed the rom and everything was ok.
After some usage i found out that the new version is not performing fast so i wanted to return back to team eos 3 so i installed this recovery ([Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) Modded for Internal media [UPDATED 10/6] here and then flashed team eos 3.
BUTTTTTTTT the device is getting stucked in the team eos boot screen (the screen after moto dual core logo) if a press power button and volume down the only options i'm getting are (nvflash,rsd,fast boot)!I can't even turn off the tablet and of course i can't get into recovery...

I think you are still partitioned and you need to get back to the big part. I think the only way to do that is use fastboot adb. But I am unsure as how to go about doing it.

Hold Power and Vol+ (up) buttons simultaneously until the screen blanks, the device should restart, then you can manually enter recovery.

You can manually enter recovery..
* Do a reboot, and watch for when screen blanks and shows the moto boot splash logo
* Wait about 2-3 seconds, then press volume - (volume down)
* it should show something like " --> Android Recovery "
* Press volume+ (volume up) to select recovery.
(If frozen, or boot looping, try holding power & vol up simultaneously, to force the reboot in the first step.)
If you've done it successfully, you should see the recovery option, then press vol down to start recovery.

Ah well i tried that but the only options i get when i do that are: nvflash,rsd,fast boot!

Do a Google search on adb via Mac. If you can access fastboot, you'll be able to flash recovery via adb.

i think that once you go BigPart, you need to stay with BigPart recovery.
Select fastboot, then connect to PC and flash the bigpart TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_bigPart_wingray_everest.img
Once that's done, do:
Code:
fastboot reboot
After you see the M logo, wait 2-3 seconds then press the Vol-Down button.
Do you see 'recovery' as an option?

Use the recovery from here: http://d-h.st/nmP
Extract the img file from the zip, then flash with fastboot like you did above.

PS: i tried both versions 3g and wifi they both gave me the same error of course with different variants versions, i think the SGh-I497 att is a wrong title

Its not a wrong title because i had the sgh-i497 and i linked everything that worked for me i dont have the tablet anymore but all of those files that i have compiled havent changed except lineage and gapps

Was your bootloader name espresso10, if so, i couldn't find the file for this variant, i don't know how it worked for you if your tablet is SGh-I497 from at&t, something must be wrong can you check the lineage link to see if the rom you used is still there, they might have deleted it or something, again i appreciate your efforts and work you're doing great

Same error, i did everything right, even the 4.1.2 rom worked but the lineage in twrp doesn't list my device in the error compatible devices list, i guess I'll say goodbye to it (SGh-I497 At&t espresso10)
