[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projectvirtue:
I have a S2 LTE i727R coming in from rogers some time next week and i had a quick question concerning the international model.

from what i've read, the R is only referring to the baseband and the modem that comes with the phone, flashing a new modem will change the i727R to i727 -> comptible with AT-T roms?

Does rooting the i727R work the same way? Using the odin/superoneclick to root it? I'm a little unsure whether odining the rooted ATT stock will conflict with the device, or is it safer to run with the superoneclick, root it, download CWM, and then proceed from there?

flashing a new rom does not unlock a phone right? I would still need to proceed with the IMEM number with an unlocking service, get the 8 digit code, and then unlock it the regular way after pulling out the SIM?

Thanks

L

my current plan right now is to get the phone, root it with superoneclick, and then proceed to download and flash recovery, and flash nexusmod4 (i prefer the aosp framework to the samsung one) while i wait for CM9/MIUI4 to be ported over. is this a sound plan?

do the supercharger v6 + thunderbolt tweaks work on top of the 727 roms? They added amazing responsiveness to the infuse i have, i was hoping they'd do the same for the skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
There is a sticky in the dev section that answers all ur question in detail, but yes, superoneclick works and so does v6, thunderbolt no, do not use. Superoneclick is not needed. Flash cw through odin and then flash darkside. Flash nexusmod and away u go. There is no difference excepy that R, I'm on rogers too and have flashex every rom available for our phone. I also recommend u download ucla3 radio from silver
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projectvirtue:
Thanks. I was just confused because that sticky didn't explicitly explain whether the canadian version had any differences. I got worried after i read a ROM OP that said "rogers users flash at your own risk, AT&T is working fine".

thanks for the heads up about thunder bolt.

Can recovery not be flashed through the regular rom manager method?

Doing some searching on darkside, is that necessary to flash? It looks like it's just an automated script to wipe the system/data/cache twice?

i install the radio after successfully flashing a ROM correct? some of the instructions in other threads have mentioned flashing the radio before doing the factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
u don't have to factory reset after a rom install, actually in most cases u shouldn't, ics being the exception. Darkside is HEAVILY recommended, it prevents a lot of problems and has helped solve them. Personally I don't use or recommend rom manager, I have seen it brick many a phone, but that's ur preference. I personally flashed cwm through odin and never looked back
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuh:
The last thing I did was root and install CWM months ago. I've had several firmware update alerts on my phone and of course I cant apply them because I have CWM installed. So my question is, how do I get updated to the latest firmware (or should I, I would hate to break root) or how do I, from the position I am in now, install a custom rom with a more current firmware? Here are my numbers: Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version: N7000XXKK5,Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK9-CL725676, Build Number: Gingerbread.XXKK9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You can install any latest ROM from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Just use CWM to keep your root intact.

See post #2 of same thread, how to update ROM with CWM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuh:
Awesome, thanks for the link dr.ketan . So with the current vanilla update and some custom roms out there am I better off with the newest vanilla firmware update, or do some custom roms include the latest firmware along with better bells and whistles? Oh and my phone came from germany. If I install the newest samsung firmware, should I choose the "Open Germany" Not Directly Rootable update from the link you provided? I understand I can root it later since I'm already rooted on the rom I'm on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You can use open germany lc1(as such i m that only)

Here correcting some words, you can't root it later, but you hav to keep intact while you flash lc1, n that can be done with cwm.

Read detail guide on thread i said u on previous msg.

LOL. Don't confuse him. Here is someone who did not even flash a custom ROM of existing (crappy I agree) GB and you are asking him to flash a ICS ROM which is based on a leak that was never meant for GNOTE.

P.S: With all due respects to Stunner (I am on it and enjoying too)

If your going to just stock v20p just use LG update or you can do it this way but if your going v20p thenuse megatron to root I know that works ... but follow this step by step ... and you'll have to do the flash tool before you flash recovery ... very important tho that you follow it step by step

After go launcher kill, sometimes:

What is wrong
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
It's not go launcher mate i see you have ics theme installed you need to fix your boot media properties or it will do that.. I have always had Go launcher x it works fine... But as soon as i put the ice cream sandwich theme on it drains my battery like mad..

The Dark LeStat has made a fix for it in the thrill forums go find the fix for the ics theme and it will fix your problem...
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
Is this a LG Firmware Based ROM?

If yes, download this and run it.

CPU HOG FIX
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Is this a Script or update zip ?

I know that this theme drains battery, but i restored oryginal boot sounds. This fix is for that?
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
It's an update zip. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache then use the zip you won't lose anything...
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
Wait what?

It's actually a script to run from the computer.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Computer? Now im so confused ... Im askin cause it is .txt (due to xda attachments limitations i think)

So what to do with that?

Launch it with adb shell u say?
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
OOPS sorry i forgot lol my bad...

You are going to connect your phone to the pc with debugging mode on.. Then your going to go to your pc and extract the cpu hog file you downloaded, Once you have done that go inside the folder you extracted and double click the fix rom and cmd will come up press the number one on your keyboard making sure your phone is connected in debug mode. so click 1 and enter and let it do it's job. Then when it's done a message will come up saying finished just exit the program and restart ypur phone and your done..

So

1. Download the file

2. Extract the file to your desktop best place to extract..

3.Connect your phone (Make sure under applications development the usb debugging is ticked)

3. Inside the folder you extracted double click Fix-ROM

4.Press 1 hit enter (then let it do its thing)

5. When it is done disconnect your phone and restart.

Sorted..
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
Thanks its very easy, i just never do that kind of things, thou i used adb shell sometimes :)

Thanks, I'll see if this helps, but I'm afraid my drain is a little one and not connected to this CRAZY AS HELL 'ics theme drain' :)
[LG Optimus 3D] IFLPI:
But may it be connected to some tweaks in a ROM? Like some ram tweaks, or oom groupings, or famous 'hard to kill launcher' tweak ? Just a thought.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M4zinkaiser:
Hi there, it's only me or the cover for USB and HDMI (but the second one is less important) sucks? opening it's ok with my nail but get back in closed position is hard -.-, and I have the fear to break the small plastic connection :S tips? I'm thinking about remove them...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
I have got a technique to do it, but it's hard to explain. I push the top of the cover inside first, then the bottom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
Exactly, it slides in at an angle, then click in the bottom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sirksael:
I agree it looks flimsy; I had the same fear with the usb port cover on my X10 though, and it lasted well over 2 years of daily charging.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
I am used to it now, it's still pointless though. My Nexus One had no cover and the USB port is still working fine after well over 2 years. I don't know why some manufacturers think a cover is necessary.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] senne-vdb:
It's way prettier, obviously. I saw a picture on here with the cover removed, and it makes the design of the phone sink below sea level.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
A flapless port only looks good on a phone with a metal or proper metal-color body. Like the Xperia P. But the Xperia S would look like crap without port flaps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
Yeah but that's because you are taking the flap off when it was designed with it on. Phones designed with a flush usb port and no flap look fine.

It's like saying cutting the roof off your SUV didn't look good. A convertible sports car looks ace.

I don't think the XS would look bad with no port flap. Look at the headphone socket, that's very nicely styled. If they'd done the same with USB I'd be happier.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keithwalton:
My samsung tocco ultra had a similar style flap to the XS and lasted me 2 years just fine despite me thinking it would only last two days.

The galaxy s had a slide cover which mostly did the job but wasn't exactly pretty. The pins in micro usb are pretty fine wouldn't take much ingress to mess it up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I think when the flap spare pieces are available online I will get one and make proper opening for USB for it and leave it there permanently.

Some smart manufacturer could make a delete with correct opening. They could have made it just like Xperia P and it would look very nice.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
I was thinking about such same thing. Waiting for spare USB flap availability.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] simonf7:
I wonder if a replacement flap could be worked into a clip on case?

Si
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] frickinlandez:
Ace, works for me too. I'd been faffing something chronic til now with it but that's deffo the method.

Good to hear that other people have had previous, port-protected Sony's last a couple of years and more OK, especially with 2 year contracts almost being the norm these days. All told it's encouraging, therefore, to read that Sony seems to be some kinda master of the flaps.

Too much innuendo - fnar!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I find the flaps very sturdy so I don't mind if they are a bit of a learning experience. I pop the bottom part, then the top part and it works for me XD.

On my X10 it was easy to remove but it was pretty fragile, so I would rather have it the way it is now, then none at all :).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xasmo:
i think, it's hard to say whether it is better to have those flaps or not to have them (like in the xperia arc). of course, it also depends on how often you use them.

because of wifi, usb is mostly only needed for flashing, but at least you have to oben the usb-flap once a day for charging :(

but at the end the phone looks better with them...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
The flaps don't bother me that much, but what does bother me is how loose they become after you have opened them a few times. It makes it feel like there is a loose spot in the casing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ungruntled:
I just wanted to chip in here and say if you're worried about the flap, you are right to be. I left mine charging overnight and when I came to unplug it I noticed that the flap had a crack in both sides somehow - despite me being super careful with it. It's not broken - some kind of membrane within seems to be holding it together somehow - but it bends along the crack now and it's a matter of time before it snaps completely.

I don't like that flap design one bit... I thought the X10 had a bad flap design but this one is far worse, especially when you have the phone in a case. It's vulnerable when being charged, sticking out worryingly... hopefully spares will become available. I tried to glue it to reinforce it but it's not easy as the crack is only a hairline when sitting properly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] technaudio:
I don't like them, on mine it has become loose and doesn't latch in at the bottom properly anymore. It has also list it's matte black and is quite shiny now, as is also the 'chin' bit at the bottom under clear strip, there's a definite bit of wear under the back and home buttons. :-/ 3 months old :|
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
Well my cover finally cracked the other day, the little tail that stays in the phone always cracked in half. So half is still stuck in the phone and then I have the whole cover left. It won't stay on anymore so must look for a new one.

Any one seen the USB cover for sale anywhere ?

Ebay ones arrived yesterday,

Fits pretty well but slightly fiddly to get in place, I think this may be down to part of the old one possibly being stuck inside the phone still.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Horvaticus:
Hello everyone!

I just ordered my Prime today! I haven't had much of a chance to check out the dev scene so far; but before I do, I'd love some input on what you guys use in terms of ROMs, Mods, as well as anything I need to be aware of in terms of bugs or quirks as well. Also, if you want, you could also let everyone know what your favorite feature is of your prime too :p

Looking forward to being here,

-Horvaticus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You can begin with checking out the link in my signature, Positive Transformer thread. then you can head to developement section and check the roms out. all of them are really good and which you would want to use depends on your tastes.

remember though, in order to flash roms, you have to unlock your device and install CWM(can get latest version from rom manager. need to be rooted also. don't use rom manager for anything else. it won't work). once you unlock, Asus receives your serial number and your warranty is completely voided. there is no turning back or relocking. so I'd say hold off with unlocking until you become familiar with device, unlocking process, and the consequences it brings. oh, also no more OTA updates after unlocking.

there are plenty of cool mods to be done after root. like overclocking to 1.6Ghz! ;) there's an app called Ezoverclocker. its in developement section. all you have to do is download and install the app, all from within the prime itself, and you're instantly overclocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Horvaticus:
Thanks for the info! Sounds good. I'm fairly familiar with rooting and modding already with my Skyrocket, but, I was just seeing how different the Prime is. After reading your run down, I have some things to consider and to look over now! To the dev thread I go!

...after I make sure the device isn't a DOA though :P

On another note, (I'm sure it's around here somewhere), how exactly does the unlocking process work? Is it different than just rooting your device? Some sort of bootloader thing? I guess I'll just dig around the threads then.

Thanks again!

I think it doesnt work with smartflash. But if you use an already rooted version, there also is no need to inject ;)

If you are in CWM, simply make a full wipe and you can install any custom ROM you want already.

Then there is no need to really root and boot it ;)
