Can't seem to get to work on skyrocket SGH-i727. It gets stuck on step 7. I've also tried to root while in recover mode but it doesn't get past the 2nd line. android 2.3.6

Big Thanks !

Thanks so much for this. I just got my Skyrocket last week and it was driving me nuts that it wasn't rooted.

I felt naked. Can't wait to get TiBu and a couple other apps installed now.

Everything went smooth. Had to flash superuser about 6 times but it finally worked

i have had my skyrocket for a few weeks now, finaly needing to root because i am needing to tether my netbook for work. can you tell me if this will wipe all the apps i installed untill now from my phone? i had a previous samsung tablet and used superoneclick to root and lost nothing. but using this method is going to be a first for me. thanks in advance

using procedure in the op: installing cwm and rooting doesnt change the current setup, whatever u had b4 rooting is still going to be there, apps, customisations, wifi settings, apns, bookmarks, media, icons, etc., everything is going to be exactly the same.....installing roms(which is what u r not doing here) will change everything u had installed and costumised but doesnt erase ur sd memory(internal and/or external) contents

Freezing after installing superuser.zip

Everthing went smooth. Was even able to install superuser.zip after 4 or 5 tries, but on the reboot it just froze at the Samsung screen.

I read on the CyanoTouchwiz thread (in the directions) that if it freezes at the Samsung screen to getting back into clockwork recovery and flashing da_g kernel. Not sure if this would apply here (or if it's advisable).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bass_me:
Same here. I usually don't pay attention to the number I just make sure that the color changes in the box in Odin and that the device is recognized as being connected to a com port. I always use a usb port on the back that's connected straight to the motherboard and never use one on the front. Also I always use the factory data cable that comes with the phone and never an aftermarket cable. I've had bad luck with aftermarket

cables .

Hello,

I have the Rogers version of the phone and performed this method. I've performed the ICS update on it (4.0.4 - LF4)

Everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that the phone is not shutting off.

I get stuck at the Rogers red screen after shutting down. I've let it sit for about 10 min before pressing the power button for 10 sec to force shut down the phone. Same issue when I do "Restart" from the menu.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I am assuming from other posts I have read, that there is no reset for the flash counter if you didn't use this method to avoid setting it off in the first place. I had the SGH-I777 and was able to load a different bootloader to get it to reset. On this phone I tried flashing just the Skyrocket stock kernel that was on this forum in hopes of resetting the counter and it just added another count to my counter???? If there is a way to reset the counter on this phone, will someone please explain it to me. I have read every post in every thread and what I have gathered thus far was they designed a new bootloader to render the jig trick useless. What else can be done to reset the counter? Some one please point me in the right direction. I am at a loss.

*Before We get things rolling, Make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC. DONE

*Rename the downloaded "su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip" to "Superuser.zip" (Don't type ".zip") and put it on your EXTERNAL SD card DONE

*Take the battery out and place it back DONE

*Hold Vol down, and plug the USB cable in. DONE

*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery.tar DONE

*Select Start and see the magic do its thing. DONE

*It should flash the file to Recovery and reboot the phone. DONE

*Take the battery out again and now boot into recovery DONE

*Power off phone, unplug USB, Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power

How do i perform this step?When i hold those 3 buttons the device just keeps vibrating nothing else

I bought my phone about a week ago. On the Nov 24th, I installed the update that AT&T pushed out to the phone, 2.3.6? or something.

Anyways, I was worried about if the original post would work (edit: after the update) - but after 2 days of waiting to see if someone else mentioned it, I went ahead and tried it.

Everything worked fine. I had to flash the Superuser.zip three times. The first time it error'd out right away. The second time it got further. The third time was the trick for me.

Awesome!!! thanks.
