[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hooutoo:
Thanks Anyway

Omg, really! First you're telling me I'm using an outdated radio and all that matters is that I'm getting hspa. Dude hspa is just a word, actually an acronym, what matters is real world speed. I simply reported that as far as I know an I727 on Tmob was not as fast as a T989 but if someone knew of a better radio let us all know. Obviously you don't, end of story!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
I did the Blaze MOD Radio 1 hour ago. On top of my Stock 4.04. I got the 4G. Whew. BUT.....no bars in my signal. Man...why is that? I know for sure im in a good coverage area. Is this the best radio for the Skyrocket using T Mobile? I got 3mbp download speed. But..once in a while....things would time out an not open. Or the Market would open a lil slow. Its showing UMTS:3 as my Network type. It did show the H for a while there tho. Why no bars?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Okay? Didn't think anything I said was that serious. There are pple on edge here and u should post ur results rather than deminishing them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Check ur apn settings. U were getting edge before and this radio should pick that up too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
U lost me. U mean this Radio should pick up the signal Bars more then what it is? Man...on edge..the bars were like 4 or 5. But still slow because of the edge of course. Now its on 4G...1 bar to ZERO bars moost of the time. I went outside on the porch just now....messed with it....saw 3 bars. I put it on LTE ALL in the *#2263#. But im wondering if there is other Radios that may increase the bars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] speeddevil:
When Im on my house on 4g I get zero to one bars. When Im out on the road in front of my house or traveling I get close to full bars. In my experience tmobile 4g cell service sucks at getting indoors. Coming from at&t to tmobile, was shocking to say how crappy tmobiles 4g coverage is. Oh well, when Im not outside im usually close to wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Ahh...i see. So this Blaze radio is the best one out there for this device and using T Mobile you would say? Some people say try out other Radios. Man...i just want 4G..a few Bars to stay...then im good forever. Dont need to swap ROMs all the time. 1 or zero bars here also. On my porch..it went to 3. But i was messing with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
U sound like you've had as much success you can hope for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] speeddevil:
I can't speak for others, but I've tried about 5 out 6 different tmobile modems for the skyrocket, and service was identical for all of them. As far as I'm convinced, it is what it is, and nothing I do is going to make tmobiles cell tower broadcast a stronger signal to my house. If only family mobile from walmart supported wifi calling, id be as happy as a clam.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
What i dont get is....i have 4 or 5 bars of signal when im using Edge. So i know the signal is there. And when i use my mytouch slide on 3G....i get very good signal. So im thinking...if i dont get full 4G...i dont care....just gimme some bars of signal. 3G would be cool.

Ive seen others say what you said also. Then again...ive seen them say that if you try different Radios....one may work way better then the other for you. I just dont wanna keep loading all my stuff on the phone. Gets tiredsome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Even tho i DID clear last time. But let me ask...do i MUST clear cache before adding a radio? Or can i just straight flash over whats on there? But either way...when i reboot....ill have to add all the apps again right? Even if i dont clear cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
I've never heard of needing to clear cache or resetting a rom. You just flash the radio. The only instance where that would be necessary is if u flash the wrong radio and brick ur phone and need to reflash the rom in download mode thru Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Really? So by me clearing it before when i put the Blaze in....that maybe made my ICS format right? If i just flash a new radio.....will all apps stay there an nothing change?

So just put a radio into the SD.....go into recover.....click install zip an flash the radio? Damn....i cleared the cache last time. Wonder what that did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3a1ist:
Clearing cache is not harmful nor necessary for a radio flash. Clearing cache also doesn't affect installed apps. Its irrelevant to flashing radios.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJR0D:
Man i dont know. When i put in the Blaze Radio...and rebooted....my 4.0.4 was still there...but was fresh. All my apps was gone. So maybe the cleared cache did that i thought.

I have 4G now with the Blaze....but no Bars in my signal. I wonder if changing radios would even matter. I mean....maybe it would give me the same thing...4G...an no bars.

[Edit] The ROMS part i know. I flashed maybe 8 different ones on my EVO 3D last week. Yea...clear cache and Davilk for ROMS. But wasnt sure about the Radios.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] duckpond:
all three modems worked, except i had to delete the system folder before flashing otherwise i won't get any signal. also basebands are all "Unknown" even though the function does not seem to be affected.

AT&T to T-Mobile, Unlock first?

Hi, I used my father's upgrade from AT&T to order the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, but I am on T-mobile.

I have flashed ROMs on my "S-ON" HTC Wildfire S, so I am fairly comfortable with this.

My question is, Do I have to unlock the phone from the AT&T network in order to actually use it on the T-Mobile network? Or do I just need to flash the rom and change radios, etc,.

Thank you, Hope I wasn't too noobish

Can the sgs2 lte hd be flashed with t-mobile radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] duckpond:
you can always use CWM to flash the modem, for me i have to delete the system folder before flashing. since i had been doing experiments to figure out the best modem, in order to do that quick, here's what i did:

1. for each of the modems you've downloaded, extract the amss.bin and mdm.bin files, put them in a folder on the sdcard, name the folder properly;

2. i have created a shell script like this:

dd if=mdm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=amss.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

name this file something like changeradio.sh and put it in /bin folder of your phone

3. connect your phone with USB debugging enabled, then on a cmd window ( i use cygwin), type "adb shell",

4. within the shell, do "cd /sdcard/modem/VK1", for example, then type changeradio.sh, now you have changed your modem to VK1!, exit the shell, and do "adb reboot"

i found my method is a little easier then the usual CWM way, if you go back and forth to try different modems.

Phone needs to be unlocked too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerwidwen:
another noob. yay.

About to do the same, exact thing on my dad's plan after I jumped into the pool with my MyTouch 4G Slide still in my frigging pocket :silly:

1st time switching phones from carriers like this.

SO, can the unlock code thing be done at any time? What I mean is: do I have to do the unlock, then root, radio, rom, etc. in any particular order, or can I root 1st, install CWM, install rom, etc, then do the unlock code?

Curious to see the differences of the inner workings beween this SR and my MT4GS :)

Seems to be an active Dev community...so that's a big +!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freshjr:
To use the phone on any carrier besides ATT the phone has to be unlocked. It doesn't matter when you unlock it, and once its unlocked, it will be unlocked forever.

Your phone does not have to be rooted at any point if you do not want it to be. Typically all roms come rooted if you choose to use one.

First thing to flash anything (root, rom, kernel, or modem) you will need CWM since that is the tool used.

Typically people flash rom, radio, and kernel in one go. But you can interchange radios and kernels at any time. Roms not so much because I like doing clean flashes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerwidwen:
OK now all rooted and on CM9rc2 with the UVLE1 T-Mobile radio from http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/install-guide.html?m=0

Getting sketchy, intermittent service. Is this just the way it is going to be?

Got lucky and only paid $10 for the phone, so I can't really complain about that...but I still want somewhat decent 3-4g. I may have to bite the bullet and just get a T-Mobile phone even though I only have a partial upgrade atm...

I know everyone says try different combinations but anyone currently having good luck using the skyrocket on T-Mobile....please share specifically what radio/rom/kernel etc combinations are working for you...so I can attempt to re-create :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mike131:
I'm using the unnamed ics mod with the VK1 radio and I get pretty decent speeds in NYC.

My only complaint is that my radio signal seems to be weak when I'm moving, like on the train (above ground)

For instance, trying to do a speed test on the train, it keeps looking for a server....

Anyone have any advice? Or a good Rom/radio combo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mike131:
Ok so I changed my radio from vk1 to the blaze radio and I get data in more areas now! Speed has gone down slightly, but worth it for more areas that data works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerwidwen:
Got tired of the inconsistent data, lousy pings, and crappy speeds all over the place. Sold my skyrocket and just got a T-Mobile S2.

Hey guys just a quick question

I have flashed the juggernaut/faux010m/vk1 combo, and so far its working beautifully, only issue is everytime I turn off/reboot my phone, I have to go into the menu and search for the network, is it possible to make the phone automatically connect to the network without doing the search everytime? I'm on mobilicity btw

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ziyaad89:
how good is the ping and upload speed on this combination?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ziyaad89:
hey good to hear that this combo is working for you. I had the same issue as you when i was on mobilicity. i think it has to do with signal strength. Wind locks onto the network within less than a minute. When it goes on roaming and you have to search for the network again, it locks onto the network very fast. Just my experience, im not saying that mob is bad at all. I've only switch to see if i could get better upload speeds with wind but its still crappy.

Hows the upload and ping with this new combo?

Help Please!

Hi there,

First I want to thank you for putting information on the XDA Developers forums on how to flash a radio to a galaxy skyrocket.

I did everything you mentioned on the instructions on how to flash a radio on the skyrocket to get T-Mobile 3/4G. Before I stated, I did read a lot of the replies to make sure I was doing what I though I needed to do. But after flashing the KID radio and not working, I tried the rest of the radios on your list and nothing happen on those either, the BASEBAND VERSION said "Unknown" for all of them. Then I realized that I was not getting any phone signal at all so I flashed the STOCK skyrocket radio in you list to revert to the original radio. Well that did not work either. After searching for more setting I realized that my IMEI is not showing up anymore and the SIM card is not recognized. Even trying to connect to Kies does not work thru the USB cable only thru the WiFi.

Everything else is working on android, except now there is no cell signal.

Can you tell me what I did wrong?

Phone was unlocked, downloaded cwm, rooted the phone, downloaded busybox and supersuser

Here are some of the present settings:

Model: Samsung-SGH-i727

ANDROID VERSION: 4.0.4

KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.8

NETWORK: unknown

SIGNAL STRENGTH: -113 dBm 0 asu

MOBILE NETWORK TYPE: unknow

SERVICE STATE: out of service

ROAMING: not roaming

MOBILE NETWORK STATE: Disconected

MY PHONE NUMBER: unknown

IMEI: unknown

I really appreciate if you can help me or at least point me in the right direction, I'm just getting started with all this, thanks.

Blaze 4g modem work?

Hey guys, I'm reading that there is some trouble with flashing radios on Skyrockets with ICS ROMS. So some radios are for GB, which is fine, but can I flash Blaze 4g w/ Sky ICS ROM for instance? Has anyone tried this and how stable is it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
Well I gave the Blaze radio (with MOD, probably has RIL removed) a shot with Embryo 5.3 and it takes it. Well it started to connect to 4G, but the number of bars just went down the drain. 1 or 0 most of the time. Data worked though.

Went back to flashing LF6 since my wife wanted to use the phone with AT&T. On coming back to the Blaze radio, now I only get Edge. APN seems to be fine, but no 4G.

What settings should we choose when playing with *#2263#?

Alright I did. Picked the ICS one. Still not getting hspa :( network connectivity seems to be the same as the blaze 4g modem. See screenshots.

Do I need to select a specific option from the service mode screen? I have chosen the network mode as GSM/HSPA which seems like the right option. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheDgm:
Ok I was able to get SKY ICS Rom Working with Blaze 4g. Changed Kernel to ULCF6. Getting some nice results but it varies from place to place. At one point was able to get 8mb dwn and 3mb up. [Location: Chicago]

Here's the thing though. I used a trick I found from another thread and this works for both my Galaxy Note and Skyrocket.

NOTE: You must be on TouchWiz. [something about their dailer.]

1. Must be on a tw rom

2. Go to service mode by using *#2263#

3. Go to wcdma per. and click on wcdma 850

4. Signal bar will be replaced with a circle with a line thru it.

5. While about 5-10 seconds. Your signal bars will return but you will have no 4g.

6. Hit settings button, go back and click on wcdma all and 4g will come back.

7. Do a speed test and profit.

8. Every time you reboot you must do this every time. Only takes about 30 seconds.

Big thanks to Rob4828 for this. Without it, I would never be able to connect at 4g speeds.

GSM WCDMA LTE is what you want remember LTE=4G (Tmobile aws) trust me. The 1700 aws is listed as a lte band try it. (att 4G=HSPA, 3G)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
4G INDEED!! Thanks for the help, will remember it on reboot.

One small issue that I have seen in the past - signal bars go down quite a bit. Does that for you too? Data seems to be fine.

Will try this next, now that I know how to go back to a good working 4G state from above. Maybe the Bell modem with the 1700 AWS setting enabled will give me better bars and that may equate to better data... that would be sweet!

---------------------------

Thanks guys! Will post more findings soon.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Some more findings!

OK so i dialled *#2263# and set it to LTE B17 (1700AWS) and it worked. I did this after following the WCDMA ALL method mentioned above which had worked too.

On reboot, the setting persisted. Means 4G even after reboot.

Next up - Bell Modem with the above steps, one by one!

I'm glad it worked! Yes, I keep a small copy of this process inside of my phone case so I can memorize it. I did see my phone signal go down, but it didn't affect my texts or calls. I drive around the city a lot and sometimes I get a full strength signal and that's when I get phenomenal 4g speeds.
