for any1 w/the problem when odin doesnt recognize their phone or doing a return to stock, here r some guidlines i mentioned in another post:

-in k0nane thread posted here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1342348 hes is posting a link to a modified stock firmware , but there is a unmodified stock firmware availabe from sammobile.com which is an exact copy of rogers and att stock firmware, its how the phone came from ur carrier when it was new

- to get the file just goto http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ , create account, once an account is created use their search box and type "i727" , it will have 2 search results, one is for att (i727), one for rogers(i727r), scroll down the page if u cant see it, it will be in a zip format, use 7zip to extract, u will now have 2 files unzipped, one is the tar file with a md5 extension which u use with odin, the other is a dll which we dont need, just follow k0nane's thread for eveything else

- b4 u flash the stock firmware, use cmw(Clockwork Mod recovery) to do a wipe data/factory reset, format- system, data and cache, and clear the caches, do that to all of them 3 times each, and even use darkside swipe if u want to, then restart ur phone and put it in to download mode, now use odin to flash the firmware, after odin finishes it will reboot ur phone for u, DON'T do anything else, "NO RESET. NO WIPING" , run androids setting up ur phone, then let it settle for 15mins or so b4 u start rooting the phone again

- if u use official samsung tar it doesnt trip the counter, if it did u werent using that official samsung tar

- running the official samsung tar, it wipes everything, installs stock recovery, radio, kermel and rom, if that didnt happen somethings wrong

- make sure adb or kies is not runnung in the background

- i have done it numerous times and the official tar restores everything back as when it was new

- if odin isnt seeing ur phone when in download mode: make sure battery is charged, try different usb port, preferably the rear ones on comp, use original samsung usb cable, or try different cable but still oem, uninstall/reinstall drivers, try different comp

- rogers users have to use kies for update since there is no "software update" on our roms, att users do have the "update software" feature built into their software

I personally flash themes right away without doing anything unless otherwise instructed. However, I don't see a problem clearing cache and dalvik. No need to wipe data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alwayslookingforanswers:
Ok just flashed the KOB4LT UCLE2 and have to say it was a great decision I think... Fits perfectly with this rom.. Totally stunning I'm impressed! Wiped the cache partition and Dalvik cache. No FC's all apps still work. It is found in the Theme/Apps section. I am so glad I did it!!!!! :D

Thanks ArtByBart... I just noticed that you posted right before I did. I figured so just wasn't sure. Never used a theme before until now... ;)

ICE means In Case of Emergency. This is something us emergency responders look at on the phone of a person injured in a wreck or other medical problem. It usually includes 911 and then you add family members that you want contacted in case you are hurt!

Seanz,

Don't know if you remember me from your SKYICS days but I loved your rom for the sky rocket. I was using it for my T-Mobile galaxy s II for a while too..sucks that your ICS Roms don't work on them :-(

Anyways,

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks and welcome back

Got a question about updating I'm using 6 now should we do any type of wipe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
man i just said this

but start over lol

last time i promise

fixed everything and just made a more solid base

removed more bloat

But never fear i included everything in update 4.2e-7b2

for all you base 2 ers not looking to redo everything right now

but i warn you its time so start the process bc eventually you will be left out

being on the most current base solves all future update problems

but again i know i just said it so i reluctantly uploaded a 165 mb update

so you wouldnt have to start over.. just recommending it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alwayslookingforanswers:
Your the man you said start over yesterday and I did and if you say start over again will do. And yes not seeing any download links. Is there somewhere we should be looking for this instead? And thanks again for the killer effort u put into this....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
Odd....

did manual wipe of data / cache / dalvik then installed release 3 base...

booted, then reboot and installed update ;

no more 15 toggle as well as phone dialer and contacts apps are missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ReedX50v:
Oh awesome, Moor! It's a good thing I'm not downloading these on my "unlimited" (2GB) data plan. :D

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Sounds like a bad install, you should probably start over. Don't forget to format /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tamcdonald:
Went from 6 to 7 and everything went fine. Rebooted to recovery and installed battery mod and now I've lost my notification panel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
Did yours install new base and yet have the 15 toggle as well as the dialer and contacts working?

cuz I've done 2 installs now and it's the same result; will try to re download the zip files, but probably isn't going to fix it. cuz otherwise if it was a bad zip i'd probably not be able to bootup to begin with lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
Back in the forum it said that the battery mods did not work with 6. I guess this is also true for 7. They may need update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Nah they work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ReedX50v:
Sorry, I'm still downloading, I will update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
nope no bat mods. didn't even get to that because the dialer and the contacts broken, no use of the phone if....the main purpose of a phone is not working lol

just the simple usual wipe 3x of each cache / system / dalvik. then install base. boot. reboot. install update.

same result.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrockets:
No APEX on Base 3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
downloaded zips again and repeated; same results.

sean; get a quick fix? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrockets:
I noticed the same thing, until I installed the update ;).

Install update 7B3, there are no 15 toggle/etc. on just base 3. After that, the 15 toggle/etc. is back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xenocide83:
Since you are installing the base you need to do more than just a manual wipe of data / cache / dalvik... Try to actually follow the directions in the OP pertaining to installing the base. Since you stated you are doing a manual wipe of data / cache / dalvik it is obvious you are not following the directions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
....... thanks for accusing me as a nuub at this; but you are also wrong.

i'm not going to assume but i will be nice and ask you . DID YOU also install the new base release then the update?

tell me if u have and show me a screenshot of the 15 toggle mod and dialer so I can go break my phone for not working after followign directions.

k thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrockets:
I have the 15 toggle mod, and a working dialer (though it may be laggy again?) and working contacts. On Base 3, with update 7.

ETA: Nope, not laggy, just the initial launch was a bit slow...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Yup. Just let her cache. And its. Speedy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Def works. I'm on base 3 and update 7b3.

I m the kinda guy that likes to test it on my own phone. Over and over b4 even attempting to post. So if its. Broke..try again.. always as a last resort delete SD cards

Remember... format system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
okay nevermind, after a third redownload and reflash things seem to be working alright now.

odd that even after wiping each 3x manually the first 2 installs didn't work well..

I always copy over to internal SD and install from there; never use my ext sd card to do rom installs :)

lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
In a case such as this. Using stock3e to factory data reset may be necessary

Or dark sides wipe script (I hesitated to put this BC I know it breaks ****)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
yeah I avoid using darkside cuz I've noticed on previous leaks and GB roms, the darkside script will wipe the APNs and cause reboot / shutdown hangups until the cache is wiped again after a force shutdown... :X
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrockets:
Installed APEX from the play store, restored settings/desktop. Base 3 is working great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanzscreams:
Apex. And trebuchet are gone

I hated seeing them and considered it bloat sorry.. after using ux. And basically keeping this rom touchwiz. I figured all else was bunk

And let the user decide which launchers to install and try

Easily found online or in the market

Switching to Samsung TTS crashes every time. Anyone with advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xenocide83:
Sorry for the accusation but the description you posted of the process you went through to get the new base installed is not the process posted in the OP, hence my accusation. If you had posted the exact steps listed in the OP then I would have looked towards a different solution for you.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Fix Permissions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
hmmmmm seems installing SKYICS 4.2E -7B3 after fresh base install removes the contacts and phone dialer.... odd..

am I reading wrong or something? Do I need -7B2 as well first? but it says that's only for update 6..... :X
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] deltawye:
Sean UX is sick thank you for adding this, I might not go back to apex... Touch wiz is kinda nice now. The ROM is amazing bro!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
did it, no change
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xenocide83:
Might have to re-download the update. Did you check the MD5 after downloading to ensure all of it was downloaded?

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Which path did you take? New base w/ update or just the update for the previous base?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fongz27:
Yup full DL 3 times now .. it's the filename with the "- Copy.zip" ending. If it was corrupt, I don't think winrar would've opened it up successfully and would've let me know it was "broken".

sooo... no idea what's going on really... about 6 times flashing the base now, and with the base everything works ( minus the 15 toggle not there )....

then when flashing the update, the dialer and contacts are removed...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
update from 6 which was clean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slam666:
Did a full wipe and reflash new base with update 7.

One big problem, busybox does not work. When I try to install busybox 2.0 I get a message saying :

It looks like busybox is installed, but it does not appear to be the version that you selected to have installed, you may want to try the installation again but this time using a different installation location.

Busybox will be installed to /system/xbin

Free space in /system/xbin 0mb.

Any idea whats wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xenocide83:
If I read correctly the new base has the TTS built in from the get go while the update from the previous base is the file that has the TTS. This may be the culprit behind it but I haven't gotten that far in my update path of new base w/ update to know for sure.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

I went this route and the only item missing for me is the 15 toggle. QuickPanel Settings are in my applications but the mod itself is not in effect. Everything else appears to be there so far, still delving through the updated ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Schwaxdoc:
Full wipe clean install now and I'll keep you posted on TTS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xenocide83:
You're on Rogers and not AT&T, lol, j/k... Busybox 2.0 or 1.2? I only ask b/c I haven't seen 2.0 yet. I would suggest a wipe of cache and dalvik. Once it boots back up check again.

Try clearing the cache in your system settings under applications, and then try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iceman4357:
Just updated to base 3 with update 7. I didnt see any mention about installing busy box, or fixing permissions in the OP install. Sean, should we still do this, or is it not needed on base 3?

I havent done any of that and my phone is running very well so far.

How do you clear cache?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Eheh typo, I am on 1.20

Yes I did a full wipe, factoryx3, clear cache 3x, cleal Dalvik 3x, format system 3x

I try to clear cache again x3 Dalvik 3x and still cant install busybox properly, it always say free space 0mb

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

You have same problem as me I guess, busybox is not install properly, check in busybox to see if it report free space 0mb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Just checked my Settings, no cache to clear. Just download busybox installer from play. But, in general terms you'd go to settings->applications. In applications, you can force stop, disable, etc.

My Experience with 4.2E

My route to 4.2E follows. Rebooted device into Touch CWM, tell CWM to do NANDroid to external SD card, with 1/2 hour and still shows backing up data, figured it was hung or maybe had an issue with MicroSD so pulled battery and rebooted into Touch CWM. Told CWM to do NANDroid backup to internal SD, still showed that it was backing up data after 45 minutes. Pulled battery and rebooted into CWM once more. Don't know WTF is going on with CWM hanging while backing up but I don't like it at all.

Got pi$$ed at not being able to do a backup so just decided to flash 4.2E directly overtop 4.2 D-10 with nothing but 1 cache wipe and 1 dalvik wipe. Since I had already installed the UCLE modem while on 4.2 D-10, I did not need to re-install it.

Results: This is F***ing Amazing! Booted straight up, all of my apps are still there and everything, I mean everything that I have tried works. No freeze on shutdown, Netflix and Instagram confirmed working. Tethering still needs to be worked out but I am sure Seanz is already on it.

If anyone else tries the method I used and it does not work for them, I take no responsibility in the event of anything going awry. The method I used is not recommended and I only tried this because I couldn't do a NANDroid and figured I didn't have anything to lose by doing so.

If you do feel ballsy and decide to try this method, please report back with your results.

Thanks ..... HTR
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
If unspecified will allow switching between LTE and 3g, why would anyone want to change to Bearer? Only reason I can think of would be if Bearer results in faster LTE speeds. But I would think most folks would need both even if they are primarily in an LTE area.

Using Sean's 4.2D-10 base I was getting consistent DL speeds ~20Mbps over the last few days. Woke up this morning and have lost data a couple times. May be just the nudge I need to get on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gangpe:
Hey HTR,

Yeah, I was feeling a bit reckless this morning, so I decided to try this method. Everything looked like smooth sailing, and then the force closes started (the two culprits were email and exchange). Something else that was interesting - the lockscreen I had originally held for the first boot, not for the second. It reverted to the stock with a different background. Once again, not a huge deal.

The big thing for me was the extended power menu. I missed the options to reboot to recovery and the 14 toggles, so I swapped back to 10. I'll hold off on 4.2E, at least until the dust has settled a bit.

You sir, are a gambler, and I'm glad to hear your gamble paid off for you (going without that backup is like going commando in the winter ;-) ).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Yeah, I used to do this all the time with my captivate since I had a jig and virtually nothing could brick it. I had no problems whatsoever when doing so, and was a bit surprised when I read all over the Skyrocket forums to always do a factory reset. So far, I've decided to stay safe rather than be sorry (because I am in no way smart enough to fix anything I break without the help of these wonderful devs), and I've followed the directions from Sean to a "T" every time. It would be interesting to find out if this works for others, as it would be nice not to have to restore all my apps every time a new base comes out. But such is life for a crack-flasher such as myself;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xidcat:
I don't believe the Bearer setting has an affect on speed, at least in my case. I ran a throughput test to a server at work every 4 hours for 2 days with bearer set to LTE and then 2 days set to unspecified. I ran the tests 3 times and took the average. I also tested at the same time and location each day. Not scientific for sure, but the average results, both upload and download were so close, that it wouldn't even be noticeable to user. About 23 down, 15 up with LTE, 22 down, 13 up with unspecified.
