Thanks for the info. I am already on the UCLE baseband-I727UCLE2. Does this change anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
You state here that you are on baseband UCLD (4.2D-9) as noted by the version number D-9. And that you have the 4.2D-10 update on your internal storage but not yet flashed.

When you look in Settings, About Phone, what does it say there?

EDIT: My apologies. I supplied incorrect information above. Baseband is referring to the radio/modem that is installed on the device. There are three to choose from but UCLE2 is the latest. The person that had the device before you most likely flashed the newest one to try and get better reception. Look at the last line in Settings, About Phone and let me know what it says there. We are looking for the info which will be listed under "Build Number". That will tell me what base you are actually running at the moment. Sorry for the confusion between Base and Baseband. LOL

theres a newer base for skyics so full wipe required, did u understand what i just wrote, no, then read b4 u do anything, read the stickies, faq's and the "Q & A" a few times, read the 2nd last line in my signature, if u dont understand something, learn how to use the search, everything has been answered for n00bs, so read and search and u will b fine, effort is required for ur part........like in previous post, dont ask questions pertaining to installing or a sentence starting with "what is " or "why is there a white line on the top of my screen" in the development thread, u could start a war
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
OK, as it stands now, if you do have the 4.2D-10 update stored on your device, you should be perfectly safe in flashing it via Clockworkmod. You can flash this one without doing any wipes or formats. Just choose flash zip from SD card, locate it then flash it. Once it is complete, reboot the device and you should be good to go.

If you happen to want to be on the latest build, then you must go into the thread and do the suggested studying/reading before flashing the new base and update.

And don't apologize for being a n00b, we were all there at one time or another. Just follow the rules, read a LOT, and if you really can't find an answer to your question via reading or the search function feel free to hit me up personally. I would be glad to assist you. You seem like a guy that is honestly wanting to do the right thing and for that I commend you.

If I have been helpful to you in any way, please hit the thanks button on my posts.

reply to hiteredneck

Once again thanks. Just want to make sure I do this right. On my internal sd are two zip files, SKY ICS 4.2D--Zx3-Goomail and SKY ICS 4.2D-10 Update. When I am in recovery I have the option to "Install zip from SD card". Am I installing just the update zip or both of them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmerc:
I recommend that you follow seanz's instructions in the thread to the letter.

Your question is answered there as well as many other potential questions you might have. There will be no open holes to fall through.

However, in the case that you still won't follow everyone else's recommendations who have said the exact same thing and end up bricking your phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653022

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

-First Make sure you are on TOUCH CLOCKWORK

(either use odin or use rom manager and flash touch clockwork)

Then

-Reboot to Clockwork

-Wipe Data Factory Data reset a few times

-wipe cache

-mounts and storage, and format systemx3

-Wipe dalvik cache

-Then choose 4.2e base and install zip

-wipe cache partition

-Install Modem

-reboot.. and let cache and settle in

-now go to busy box installer and install busybox

-in rom manager run fixpermisssions

-then reboot

HOW TO UPDATE

-choose latest update and place on sd card

-make sure you follow directions..

first you flashed a base

then you rebooted and installed busybox

now your ready to go

-reboot to recovery

clear cache

-install update

-reboot phone and run fix permissions

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

What's the "install modem" part?

Glad you asked.

It's the UCLD2 modem that pairs with your UCLD2 base that you are trying to flash.

You'll need it if you want proper data support on your phone.

UCLD2 (LATEST LEAK)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
The 4.2D--Zx3-Goomail is the base, which you already have installed. The 4.2D-10 Update is just what it says, an update. If you choose to install the update,

first

, in clockworkmod choose "wipe cache partition" and let it do it's thing, then you can choose "Install zip from sd card, then choose the update to install (4.2D-10 Update) and let it run until it's says it is complete and tells you it's time to reboot your device. After the device reboots, let it settle for 5 minutes or so, then run ROM manager and run "fix permissions". If fix permissions hangs or does not seem to want to complete, run the busybox installer from your app drawer and tell it to install busybox, after you do that the fix permissions should run through to completion with no problems. Once fix permissions has completed reboot your device and you should be golden.

But before you do the above, you want to go into mounts and storage in recovery and choose "mount sdcard", then go back to the main menu and choose "backup and restore" and do a "backup to external sdcard" so that you will have a backup of your current setup in case something goes wrong with the flash.

If the flash borks your device you can then reboot into Clockworkmod and do a "restore from external sdcard" and you will be right back where you are at the moment.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

bfleischman is wanting to try and install an update on top of the 4.2D base. I am giving him specific instructions on this process that is specific to this base and this update. I know you are trying to be helpful, but he does not need any added instructions that could be confusing.

Please refrain from posting any further instructions on this "specific" process unless you see something that I have missed in my instructions.

If his device is currently running the 4.2D base and he is only wanting to install the update, there is no need in supplying all of the instructions above, especially modem install instructions as he is most certainly already using a fully functional modem at the present time.

Thank you for understanding ..... HTR
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I thought that you can use CWM from Rom Manager, but that it HAS to be the Touch version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
As per Seanz instructions, Touch CWM only for SkyICS builds. Too many little odd things not working correctly if not using Touch CWM.

I am using the touch version bi sk8erwitzkil and have had no problems whatsoever. I would assume that the touch version available in ROM Manager would work just as well since a lot of others are using it with no problems.

When I said do not install CWM from ROM Manager, I was speaking of the standard, non-touch version.

CZ Eddie did not specify "Touch CWM" in his post, he simply said to install CWM from ROM Manager. I wanted to stop anyone from installing the wrong one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I think that that's what I'm saying. I had asked the question some time ago, "does it matter which version of Touch is used, the one from the xda Dev, or Koush's" and the answer was no" so long as it's the Touch version.?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Now I got ya, as far as I know there's no difference, as long as you have one or the other. Except for TWRP, I do recall some people having issues when using it.

As long as you use the one from this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472954, or the touch version in ROM Manager, you should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mmerc:
Ah got it.

I wasn't very thorough at reading the OP.

My suggestion to bfleischman after the update is applied successfully and you're satisfied:

Since you seem to have the drive to attempt the acrobatics req'd for extra functionality on your phone, I would take a look at the new post by seanz for SKY ICS 4.2E

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653022

This is the follow-on to 4.2D

Honestly, it's very hard to brick your phone after CWM Touch is installed, and I was using fear-mongering tactics. As long as you understand how backup/restore works in CWM, which hitekredneck has explained above, you're good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bfleischman:
reply to hiteredneck

One more question. When I boot into recovery from the power menu I can go into mounts and choose "mount sdcard", how do I go back to the main menu? If I wait long enough it will go by itself. I assume it just times out. When I choose back up and restore, the only options for backup are "backup" or "backup to internal sd", not external. Not sure what to do here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
OK, here is where we need to determine if you are in fact on Touch Clockworkmod. Does the interface actually support touch scrolling and selecting, or do you have to navigate with the volume rocker and power button? As for backing up to external SD, I am also not sure if this version has that feature.

The version I mentioned in an earlier post here, the one by sk8terwitskil (the one I use), has a "go back" selection at the bottom of each menu. I am not sure about the official touch CWM, you may be able to go back a menu by pressing on the actual "back" button, the one below the "G" in Samsung at the bottom of your Skyrocket screen.

If you are in fact, not on a version that has "Touch" capabilities then we need to stop here and get a version installed that does have this capability.

Here is a direct link to download the sk8terwitskil version of Touch Clockwork -> http://sk8erwitskil.com/guest/skyrocket/CWMRT/ICS%20background-all/4.1/CWMR5504B14_INSTALL-4.1.zip

You can download this zip file and place it on your internal SD storage and flash it just like you would a ROM or Update, as described in my earlier post. I would highly suggest that you do this before proceeding any further, as I know it works flawlessly with all of Seazscreams ROM's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bfleischman:
hiteredneck

My Bad. I did not realize you can scroll down on the touchscreen. There is a go back on each menu that you just touch. Worked fine.

As far as the backup, there is never an option to "backup to external sdcard". The only backups are just backup and backup to internal sdcard.

Point of note. In the recovery under mounts, there is mount sd and mount USB storage. On the phone in settings, under storage, it shows three areas of storage:

1-Internal Storage, 2-USB Storage 3-SD Card.

I ran a backup to internal SDcard, it ran the backup fine, when it got to the end it said, cannot find ext-sd, but finished. At that point I decided to reboot the phone and went to look at the files. The backup was in fact on the external SD card.

So it sounds like I am doing this right, What do you think?

Thanks for your help.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. At this point, I think I would recommend that you go ahead with flashing that update that you have sitting on your SD card. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nilchameleons:
So since I can't post my question about the ROM in the relevant thread (not quite sure how that makes any sense, but I didn't make the rule..)

Could someone on Sky ICS or involved with its development tell me the effective difference between stock Exchange and Google Exchange? I do like the Gmail app and don't want to stop using it but I have had issues with auto-syncing on my install of Google 4.2-10 (yes, I know there's an update, I'll be on it soon!).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bfleischman:
reply to hiteredneck

I think I am ready to install the latest base. I have read through all of seanzseams instructions, have downloaded the base and the updates and loaded on the sd. Have done all the backups. What I do not get from the instructions is when do you install the modem? Is it while you are still in CWM, as I have not seen an option for that. Thanks again for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wendellp601:
The modem (or so-called radio) is flashed immediately after the ROM before you reboot the system. Just choose the modem (radio) zip file that you downloaded.

That part of Sean's instructions are copied / pasted below.

"-Then choose 4.2e base and install zip

-wipe cache partition

-Install Modem

-reboot.. and let cache and settle in"

Hi All,

Seems like my streak's earpiece speaker has given way. :(

Using earphones/speaker mode it works just fine. However, when trying to place/receive calls using the earpiece speakers, can't hear a single thing.

Tried installing different ROMs to see if it's a software problem as well, but still doesn't work.

Has anyone attempted to (successfully) replace the earpiece speakers before?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edrill:
I was having a similar problem. The earpiece would intermittently go silent. I couldn't hear anyone, but they could hear me. If I switched to speakerphone or handsfree, I could hear them fine. Someone mentioned here or on Modaco that he had rectified the same issue by just re-seating the earpiece. Apparently the problem was caused by a loose contact. I'm yet to try this since the problem hasn't been occurring too often off late. I'll probably look into it after picking up a new 8GB Class 10 SD card to replace the internal SD card with. I figure that'll save me the trouble of having to open up the phone twice. Kill two birds with one stone!

If you among those having an Xperia Pro with a slide-out hardware keyboard, and you have recently flashed a new ROM on your phone which messed-up the keyboard layout, then you have come to the right place.

Xperia Pro (and other Pro devices of Xperia range) has 14 different key layouts as mentioned on this page. I am releasing a specific update.zip file for each of the 14 different key layouts. Flash the relevant zip for your phone and your hardware keyboard should start working as it should.

To find out which layout is your phone keyboard, go to this page.

If you are unsure about the relevant key layout for your phone, then there is always the tedious option of flashing each update.zip and seeing if it works. :o

Note 1: I am only releasing 10 keyboard layouts now. I shall release the rest when I get some time to figure it out.

Note 2: This is for Xperia Pro, but might work in other Pro devices of Xperia range. Please confirm if anyone gets it to work on any other Pro devices.

Note 3: If any of the below does not work in your phone or you phone has a different layout than the below, please help me to get it fixed by sending me a PM.

Requirements

1. CWM recovery installed (or root if you are copying files manually).

Installation

1. Download and copy zip file to SD card

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash .

4. Reboot!

to

<Script name="latin" keylayout="arabic"/>

but it probably would work with the xperia keyboard.

And with regards to those .kcm/.kl files, at least the finnish/swedish variant messes up the HW keyboard. Specifically wrong special keys, no öäå. At least this happens if you have set the keyprint.xml to use qwerty-se-fi
