Thanx...didn't think I'd get an answer that fast...I'm always in the Epic Touch Forums on Here...and I thought my Buddy was gettin a Galaxy thru Sprint...But he didn't and got the Skyrocket...So when I looked up how to root his phone...every post I read on or about Dec 30th on different Forums...said everyone that rooted later with 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 was rooting but not having Wi Fi...Hes a bit nervous to root himself and I have plenty of experience thru the Sprint Epic Forums here...So i just wanted a sure method like so as not to screw anything up so I would not have to reroot back to stock...I wanted to do it right so he could flash sum Custom Roms and Themes...

BTW do you guys have custom kernels to flash to overclock ???:rolleyes:

Noob Question

I have a bundle of info about how to do things on my android device but I try to research and find the answers as best as possible before I ask a stupid question. I have a SGSII Skyrocket and I see there are custom kernels to overclock my device. Every set of instructions I found state to wipe the cache and then select the wipe delvik option. When I get my skyrocket into downloader mode I get the wipe cache option but then the only other choices are install from sd card and wipe data\factory reset. Is there something I'm missing?

I added screenshots of my system info to answer more technical questions I know I failed to address. Thanks!

EDIT: My phone is also rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Wipe dalvik is under the advanced section, and its not in download mode its in CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
yup, u have to flash CWM through Odin first, then u can flash kernels/roms/radios
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Ok I have the advanced mode checked in CWM but I don't see an advanced section. Am I missing something? (I have CWM premium)

Could you explain a bit on that? Would I be selecting the PDA option and and getting my phone in downloader mode the way I had to when I recovered it from a soft brick? (I apologize if I'm asking stupid/noob questions. I have been searching through tons of threads and it gets a bit overwhelming trying to find the exact info I'm seeking.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You are all sorts of screwed up buddy. You use odin to root and install cwm to your phone. After that you are all done with odin. You access CWM with your phone, not your computer.

You use this to root your phone and install CWM. There are other methods, but I have only used odin. Here it is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

After following that you will have super user, CWM, and you will be rooted. To access CWM you power down your phone. Ok, phone is off, now you hold volume up, volume down, and the power button all at the same time. When the samsung logo appears release the power button but keep both volume keys pressed until CWM screen comes on. From there you will find all the options you need.

If you are already rooted and have CWM installed on your phone, skip the whole lecture on odin and proceed to power down and holding the buttons. Hopefully this helps you. Make sure you read everything and understand it first, you sound really confused, brother. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
If you're talking about checcking Advanced Mode that means you have the ROM Manager app installed. You don't need to use Odin as stated above to get cwm (Clockwork Mod Recovery is CWM--you're calling rom manager cwm which is not correct). You already have superuser (shown in your screen shot) so you don't need to use the Odin method.

Go to rom manager and flash Clcockwork Mod Recovery through the app (it's the first option at the top). Select the T-Mobile version of SGS2 (don't worry, works fine). Then you will have cwm. You get into cwm by powering off your phone, then holding volume down and volume up at the same time while holding the power button.

DO NOT use ROM Manager to download and flash custom roms. The roms you can download through rom manager are meant for the T-Mobile variant of our phone and could bork your phone. Only flash roms through cwm recovery and only flash roms/kernels etc that are made for this device--found in the development forum here on xda.

Sounds like you have some reading to do before you try this though so you don't mess up your phone. Follow instructions closely for any rom you're going to flash. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Funny thing I wound up pressing on and flashed some custom kernels and even tried a custom ROM (ICS 2.3.5) and have the phone running beautifully @ 1.83 ghz. I even ran a few benchmark test and bestest at around 7000. The ICS ROM was flashed but didn't change anything on my end. * shrugs* I also flashed the GPS script and that works wonderfully. I'll add some screenshots when I get to my PC. I appreciate the info and help and yes you're right I definitely have a ton of reading ahead if me lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Yeah I rooted my phone when I first bought it back in December but was having issues trying to re-root after a failed flash attempt. I learned of the soft brick condition and re-flashed a stock att ROM (tar) back onto my phone using Odin a couple nights ago. I had all the pieces but the literature was confusing me and the terminology being used interchangeably contributed to me feeling like I wasn't comprehending something I should've. Thanks for your help and info. I apprecir it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You're welcome! Are you still needing help, or are you gonna read up for a bit? I don't know what you mean that you flashed stuff and nothing is changing on your end?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Of all the zip files I had flashed (agps patch, overclock kernel, ice cream sandwich ROM) the only one that didn't really didn't work/change anything for me was the ics ROM that I tried. It did however remove the AT&T splash screen and replaced it with a cool looking one with "android" in blue. I can live with that but for all my trials and tribulations I now have a phone running @ 1.83ghz stable. I tried to upload some screenshots through this App but kept getting "incorrect format" errors. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my explanation in the previous post. And thanks for your help again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
I finally got to my PC to upload the screen shoots

I tried to get the Sky ICS ROM installed on my phone but all I got was the splash screen change.

EDIT: At 1.86 Ghz I was able to run my phone for the most part but it wasn't stable enough to run a benchmark test. I also ran it @ 1.8 Ghz with a higher score (6998) but forgot to take a screenshot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blkkouki:
thanks for this thread it makes it easy to find alot of info
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Are you doing a full wipe and installing in the proper order? And it most likely wont run stable at 1.8.It will probably crash and reboot randomly. I think you are flashing in the wrong order or not wiping properly. Post your procedure for flashing all these items in numbered steps.

such as:

1) I booted into CWM

2) I flashed darksides super wipe script

3) I wiped dalvik cache

4) I installed ics rom

etc........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
I did steps 1, 3, and 4.....didn't notice the super wipe script :o However I am only noticing that random crashing @ 1.86 and at 1.83 if i change my min processor speed to 192 mhz. Otherwise it runs like a champ. Maybe I lucked out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
But what order are you flashing the rom, kernel, and other mods you are adding. From what you said I gathered what you meant was that the rom did not flash correctly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
I flashed the agps patch then I flashed the overclock kernel and then the updates and then I tried flashing the sky ics ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Well I guess I jinxed myself. My phone went into a deep sleep mode and removal and reinsertion of the battery brought it back. I restored it to a previous backup and now it seems to be way smoother and responds well to a minimum processor speed of 192mhz and now has a Max of 1.78 ghz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Man, you are doing it all wrong. You need to do a lot of reading, I don't wanna see you brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
I'm reading all the threads I can. For far I guess I just have been lucky to have what I've done work. Thanks I'll go sifting through of the stickies and reading it all thoroughly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
Ok just so that I'm clear the steps should be as follows

1. Flash kernel

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Script if not part of kernel

?

Been reading tons of threads and despite all the noob threads I never saw where it said to flash those three components in which particular order. I currently have the Da_G kernel with updated script on stockish ROM. I wanted to go to the Sky ICS ROM with Sky Ultimate kernel and the GideonX script. Any tips as to how I should proceed?

EDIT: Not trying to be a pain just want to make sure I am doing things correctly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
No.

Flash ROM, then the kernel(if you dont want the kernel the ROM includes, or the rom doesn't include one). Then after reboot and you let the cache build and settle for a bit, setup the phone. Then boot back into CWM and flash any addons you want(ie battery, theme, etc.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] j2thar1st:
OK I will do such. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:

a request, need a return to stock 2.3.6 I look all the development forum but haven't gotten any lucks. I tried back to 2.3.5 and tried update OTA to 2.3.6 but keep saying my rom is up current.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
Rogers based ROMs?

I see that the OP hasn't been updated in quite a while...

I messed around with a few ICS ROMS for a while but just don't have the patience to deal with the various issues that almost every one of them have... I've Odined back to the Rogers stock ROM and re-rooted.

When I restore from TiBu I almost always have some kind of issue...

(trust me I've started from scratch several times)

I did not do any backups with any of the ICS ROMs (at least I'm fairly sure I didn't)

Here's what I've tried so far:

Restore all apps and data - big problem, don't do this after you've flashed something

Restore missing apps and system data - almost the same (as I expected because I figure it's the "system data" causing the issues)

Restore missing apps and data - better but I still got some FCs (wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions helped but still get some google process FCs)

I also tried installing my apps from Play Store and "cherry picking" the system data I wanted to restore (contacts, BT pairings, wireless...) - this ALMOST works but still gives me a bit of grief with acore and google processes. Also tried clearing dalvik, cache, and fixing permissions and it reduced the issues but didn't eliminate them.

What HAS worked is flashing another ROM (I used ICE) after getting it almost stable with the last procedure in the list. The phone is now stable and everything works but because it's based on the ATT ROM, it includes bloat that I don't want, and a "settings menu" that has unuseable stuff in it (OTA, ATT WiFi, and a few others) I can debloat, but I can't fix the settings menu.

(and ICE includes transparent lock screens and pulldowns that annoy me and I can't figure out how to change them :mad:)

Can anyone reccomend a Rogers based ROM that might not be in the OP? I'm really looking for something I can just flash without losing data, since I finally have most of it back...

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

Odin [how to] from k0nane needs to be updated with the official tar files from Sammobile. As the ones currently posted in his op will trigger flash counter!

Please if you are concerned about your flash counter being trigger do not use the files he provides, go to sammobile website register and search for i727 download the files for skyrocket and the tar.md5 file flash it with Odin that is the only proven way to not trigger counter.

Hope k0nane will update this some day......

So I have read the entire forum and feel mixed review on if this is.safe for someone who just got a sky rocket. My android version is 2.3.6 i727ucla3. Is this a safe method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Snow02:
Hmm. This is definitely incrementing the counter as noted. Also, I didn't check auto-reboot and the flash completed successfully, but the phone would only reboot into the boatloader claiming there was a firmware update error. Should letting it reboot automatically make a difference?

I'm no stranger to Odin. Just found this odd and didn't see a similar error reported in the thread. I reflashed twice already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mikerowes69:
I learned the hard way what Odin will do. I hard bricked my phone. No lights, nothing after using Odin to go back to 2.3.5 stock. I used pit section and PDA. Should had only used PDA however I never seen any instructions on sammobile. During the Odin restore I noticed the progress was not moving after 20 mins so I pulled the plug and battery. Life was gone from phone. It had been 3 months since I used Odin for the skyrocket so I thought I would use my memory. Nope I was wrong. Find the do's and don'ts for Odin flashing skyrocket. However got a replacement next day. So now I stick to DD commands unless it is for recovery so I can flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Using the sammobile tar is the same as any odin tar. Place tar in pda, make sure only reboot is checked, phone is recognized in the com port, press start.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Here's what I've tried:

G:RSS (don't want a web based solution)

Google Reader (nice, but not quite)

NookFeed (doesn't work)

Nook Reader (doesn't work, just tries to open then closes)

NewsRob, Feedr, etc...

Calibre - push epub to dropbox...formatting is just a bit ugly. Don't want to have to wait for a scheduled time to sync.

All I want is a nice e-ink friendly app. If you could even get G:RSS without the damn add and the table size slightly increased, that would be perfect.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Of course i would find what I was looking for right after I post this. For those interested:

http://code.google.com/p/sparserss/

No google reader auto-sync, but it can import an OPML file that one can export from google reader (manage subscriptions > import/export > OPML)

Also can inverse the screen, and has nav arrows below. The only problem is it doesn't scroll (with or without hard keys). But the font works out so I can read nearly all of it, and there's a go to link button if you really want to check it out :)

EDIT: Seems you can scroll down the article with a swipe, but it needs to be nearly a top to bottom swipe. Also once you do this, you cannot use the nav buttons on bottom to go to next/previous, but must back out then select the article again. Still the best I've found :D
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] unattached:
Why is it better than Google Reader?

Google Current has paged reading, which would be awesome. It can read rss feeds too. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the nook, see the other thread..
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ace7196:
It's better IMO. Less refreshing, quicker, and better use of hard keys (I want had keys for both paging up and down the articles and their lists).

Does anybody know of any add-on for a 2.3.4/3.0 ROM (any will do) to provide the "tweaks" option to the ROM? It'd be the same as 2.3.5/3.5 add-on that CdTDroiD made for his ROM, but functional for 2.3.4 instead.

Or if nobody knows of a patch for that anywhere, would anybody know how to otherwise access those options, or what changes would have to be made to make the one I linked to properly compatible with 2.3.4? I just want to find some way to have things like the battery icon with percentage *next* to it, and the rest of the tweaks that affect the icons up there.
