Yup you are hard bricked. Jtag works and is well worth the money

If you still have a warranty I would send it in and get a new skyrocket. I did this before and sent in my hard bricked phone and never heard back from at&t about why it was not working. I told them I woke up and it wouldn't turn on. I hope this helps some good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gringo italiano:
yes it is my friend i take almost all from this xda section but i dont remember where i download clockwork 5.8.1.3 i dont know probably is that or probably upgrading recovery from terminal because candiesdoodle (the autor of thread) had my same problem with same steps (or my ex girlfriend messaging during process :) ) but anyway the phone now is in a jtag laboratory i hope it back alive i think is a simple botloader flash i'd like to know which recovery i'll find and which are my future steps

mmmhh... I'm a little afraid to work from terminal :D

is not better flashing from odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You would have to flash cwm 5 with Odin and then flash 6 through the cwm 5 via zip file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gringo italiano:
ok i'll flash cwm 5 and i'll take a break :)

is it still a good recovery or not? can i flash cyano roms with this version or i'll have boot loop problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I know it won't work for jb base roms like cm 10. You need cwm 6 for that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gringo italiano:
thanx... for the moment my target is a stable cm 9 ics based so i can stay with cwm 5

just a last question do you think is better back to stok before flash cwm 5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
When you receive it back from jtag I think it will be stock. It doesn't really matter though. I flash back to stock to clean out my device and wipe out old crap every once in a while
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gringo italiano:
:D i'll stock it

thank you very much :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I'd take it all the way back to Gingerbread stock, then let the Kies update to ICS do its thing. Only then would I start flashing recoveries. Two reasons: one, I did the exact same thing with my phone when it was acting like it would brick any second, and it worked beautifully. I'm on a CM9-based ICS ROM, and will stay there indefinitely. Two, if something's going to go horribly wrong, let it happen during the ICS upgrade through Kies. Kies upgrades tend to take the hammer to everything, so after running one, your phone will be more or less like it was out of the box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MasterDecker:
Putting it back into recovery mode shouldn't cause it to brick. It is more of what ever you were flashing, or such as the OP's problem, he was using command line to make changes. BUT simply when you get your device unbricked, go to the app store and install ROM Manager, then from ROM Manager install the CORRECT CWM for your device.

I have a very high sneaking suspicion that you either flashed an INCORRECT ROM, or you did not fully understand what was needed to flash the new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
NO! NO NO NO NO NO! Do not use ROM Manager to do anything other than fix permissions on a Skyrocket. ROM Manager, for whatever reason, does not quite work right with Skyrockets, and you're highly likely to brick using it to install things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gringo italiano:
no bro these were my steps

- buy the phone

- unbox the phone

- flash clockwork 2.0.1.3

- root

- flash cm-9.1.0-skyrocket.zip --> boot loop

- flash cm-9-skyrocket.zip --> boot loop

- flash cm-10-skyrocket.zip --> boot loop

-upgrade from terminal clockwork 5.8.1.3 for boot loop problem... successfuly

- reboot system

- died, black screen, no boot, no recovery mode, no download mode no pc, hard bricked

totaly 2 hours life for my little children

after ever boot loop i back to nandriod backup i almost sure that wasnt a rom problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I just bricked mine using goo manager. Downloaded an AOKP rom and gapps that goo manager said was for the skyrocket then let goo manager try to flash it. Went thru recovery and then nothing. Black screen, no vibration, nada. No comm recognized by odin. Computer says drive e: needs to be formated. I'm alittle suspect of the gapps as the file name didn't look right. It was something nightly.

Anyone know when a jig works and when it doesn't? Might try to make one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Flashing via Goo Manager is typically a terrible idea. I know it's too late to help you much now, but you should almost always flash ROMs in recovery. The very few exceptions would be when you Odin back to stock. Judging by your symptoms, I'd say you're hard bricked. JTAG or warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I've always used recovery but thought wtf, i'll give it a try. Didn't feel right and should have listened to my gut. Did warranty it. ATT sends you a re-furb less battery and back. You then send back the brick. You have to agree to some terms that mention warter damage and some other things, but nothing about flashing any thing. So warranty has been painless other than $15 for expedited delivery. Had less than a month to go on warranty so glad i learned this lesson now and not a month from now.

Also, warranty on the re-furb is your original or 90 days, whichever is longer, so for me a free 2 month extended warranty. Have to look on the bright side of these things.

I am going to order a few, anyone dare to try ? it claimed to be 7400mAh is standard battery size. nowhere else except China

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.137&id=15285650802&_u=cn3fhpi94c8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Akiainavas:
It can't have 3 times more capacity with the same size - unless they used some new technology, it's simply impossible. I'm more than positive that this battery is a fraud - maybe it will work, maybe even good - but not 7400mah for sure. Let us know how it turn out though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] samau:
stop encouraging them to sell more fake products...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] generalife3:
Hmm could there be miniature nuclear reactor inside? I would buy few. )))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Final5k:
this type of thing is definitely fake - no need to buy to check. For your phone's safety and for your own sake, don't buy this as aftermarket batteries can also explode, search google for more infos.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ahhoe:
It's Just the "paper" value.... forget any having a battery with 3 times the power housed in the same shell.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] beestee:
You gotta admit that the ambition here is enough to make even the skeptical a little curious.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] hhh7fold:
please update how long this battery will stand if u buy it...got 5000mAh battery over here but it have twice size than normal battery...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Quiarcus:
As you're shopping on Taobao you probably don't need to be warned of the various scams that exist on the marketplace - but this one seems especially entertaining.

Although the battery is advertised in several places on the page as being 7400mAh, the seller seems a little conflicted. In the spec sheets he describes it as '电池容量: 4001MAh-5000MAh' (roughly: the battery capacity is between 4001mAh - 5000mAh), while below the initial barrage of happy workers there is this: 实际容量4500毫安. Roughly translated it says 'Actual capacity 4500mAh'. I think that pretty neatly sums this battery up.

On another note, at the bottom of the page he does promise that although he won't honour any service contract through Taobao, if you call him and can prove that the battery is damaged due to no fault of your own (defect), he will try to get a replacement to you within 6 months :D.

Have to love Taobao, some real gems on there but also a heck of a lot of dross.

Why not get an extended battery instead, like mugen, instead of taking the risk on this one?

I've heard both sides of the story when it comes to mugen's performance, and so far, based on my usage, it more than doubles the uptime of my gnote.

Just my two cents. Thanks.

Don't waste your money on that rubbish. Samsung is one of the top battery manufacturing company, if Samsung can't make the capacity that high, no Chinese Small Factory can.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] maxfu:
Can I ask a question not related with the topic? Why a lot of people here use 強國 as China? Actually I really don't like this. BTW, about the battery, I really think it does not worth to try. Not your money, not your time.

Am I dreaming or is the option to edit the calendar for an existing event no longer available in 4.1.1?

Can someone with 4.0.4 confirm that you can change the calendar for an existing event? (As is, two what calendar the event should be under)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmdixon:
This is present in 4.0.4. You have to click on the calendar bit at the top of the event and it gives you a drop down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjex:
Is that when creating or editing an existing event? I'm can't seem to be able to switch the calendar once the event is created under JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmdixon:
Editing. I'm not sure why they'd remove it. Anyone else on JB confirm that you can't change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Salem24:
Can't change calendar of existing event either (JB 4.1.1). Even with a third part app (business calendar) I can't - the dropdown menu is greyed out! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmdixon:
Apologies... Just tried it again and I can't change it. I think I must have done it to a new event before. Sorry!

Looks like it wasn't possible in 4.0.4 after all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Possibly a limitation of it importing events that were originally done in ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] binglejellsx2:
Nevermind, I get it. No, I've never been able to change the calendar of an event as far back as I can remember.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkedge:
I can also confirm it wasn't possible in 4.0.4. In fact, one of the main reasons I upgraded to 4.1 as soon as I could was in hopes that it was fixed in JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjex:
Thanks for the feedback, I guess I was not remembering this correctly. It's odd that such simple things aren't looked after by Google. The other one is the lack of rich text signature in Gmail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I don't have any future dates to test, but I can't seem to edit past ones either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inorde:
I've never been able to do this. My wife sometimes places shared events under events that are just for her. I've never been able to fix that on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdkalban:
tab the event, look for the pen symbol and edit the event.

to delete click on the trash symbol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PigpenUK:
As the poster above says.

Works for me, I can edit entries just fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmdixon:
Editing is fine but can you move entries between calendars? That's what the OP was asking? I don't think it's supported in ICS or JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Same here, can't change calendar when editing an event. I think this has been a problem since ICS as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nachobar:
location link to google maps

Hi you all,

It's not quite same problem, just I'm talking about the same app.

On ICS, as GB, Froyo, Eclair and so on, the Location field on any event could be understood as a link to google maps. Now, in JB it's not a link. Therefore, there's no easy way to use the navigator to reach to your destination.

Does anybody know a simple method to convert the location fields to google maps links? I have the same problem with Business Calendar, but given that this app provides a third party link I could use that.

Cheers.

How do I get the newest firmware??? I'm confused...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] projektorboy:
Wow. You're two versions behind. I'm very surprised you haven't received OTA update notifications.

Press Menu > Settings > About Phone and then tap System Updates and that should make your phone hit the update servers. You'll first end up updating to 5.9.902 and then 5.9.905.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] d08speed3:
Doesn't work just stays on a white screen?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rue225:
You could probably fxz to .902 and then you should fix your ota issue so you can ota to .905 which is where you need to be for the eventual ics release.

Im posting this here because I've tried posting in other root forums and have no such luck and I've seen other people comment on this too. My question is does anyone know how to bypass the "failed to initialize protocol" error message in heimdall for mac or is there a better alternative to rooting as of this point? I've tried typing the commands into terminal and nothing has worked, I don't even has Kies installed on my computer. Any help or anyone that could point me in the right direction for rooting on a Mac would be helpful. I know there are plenty of us out there looking for a solution for our inferior computers ;)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gtuansdiamm:
You can have your Mac dual boot

Or install something like parallels desktop and have Odin on that

My personal preference is to keep a cheap windows laptop for odin
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bjtheone:
Unless something has been released in the last couple of days heimdall does not support the s3 yet. I had to find a pc with windows to root using odin.

bj | SGH-I747M | Rogers | Rooted | ICS | CWR
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Success100:
yeah, most of us, including me, have not been able to successfully root the US version of the s3 using any verison of heimdall.

trust me ive tried EVERYTHING. downgrading to older versions, messing with the .kext files, trying to install thru terminal, trying the terminal fix to fix the issue with kies. Ive done everything.

I either get failed to initialise protocol, or claiming interface failed. Were going to have to wait for the makers of heimdall to update it.

For now, like most have said, the only alternative is to find a windows machine you can do it on. Ive yet to do it tho.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drmanhattan:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
Yeah - Heimdall still doesn't support the U.S. S3's, but it does support the international.

The developer is working on it. (<- thank 'em)

I thought I could wait a few weeks for Heimdall compatibility before rooting, but I was weak and "needed" AdAway, TiBu, tether, general modding, etc... so I connected my S3 to a filthy dirty Windoze box w/ Odin to root it. Back to linux now... phew! :)

^ haha, made me laugh. I'm gonna sit tight till Heimdall gets working.

how did he do it

how is it possible that this guy got an AT&T i747 rooted using heimdall on the mac, then?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] joka10:
Man you got my hopes up lol but check the comments it seems like everybody is still having problems trying to root in heimdall. Even those who tried the terminal commands in the thread.

For right now the best way is like everyone else has been saying wait for heimdall to update or dual boot and use odin

Thinking about doing this myself - did you run into any problems/irregularities?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
There's just a handful of apps I wanted to use TB to backup and restore - and I just concerned about the data/settings being restored since I can always reinstall from the market.

So on the old phone i backed up the apps i was concerned about. Then took the sd card, popped it into the new phone, pointed TB's backup directory to the sd TB backup folder on the sd card. It finds 200+ backups.

But when it go back to the list of my installed apps, TB says there are no backups for any of them, even though I've installed several of the apps that I backed up from my old phone.

So, how do I get TB to restore the data for the apps I want? Am i missing a step somewhere?

thanks

edit: nm - the backups just suddenly showed up after a couple of tries.
