which method or files did you use to get root, im guessing the one posted in the op since you're posting it here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Yea I even tried the all the one click methods when I took it out the box with 2.3.5 and they would not work on it nor 2.3.6. This method of using cwm to flash or push the SU files is the only method that has ever worked for me. It worked on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 gingerbread and I've flashed every ics leak plus the official and rooted each with no problem using this method. To me its just as easy as a one click cause I've always ran cwm no matter how I rooted. You can fix screw ups much easier with cwm or stand a better chance anyway. Cause if you can get recovery mode you can even fix soft bricks if you were smart enough to make a backup that is which I always do....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
ok, i agree with using cwm, a no brainer even to flash stock, users are trying to update their "rooted" phones w/kies and it seems to be mucking things with the update, thats why i created another thread on how to install stock using odin.

so your crediting cwm for rooting your phone but which su files did u use to flash from within cwm

Superuser 3.07efghi-signed has worked for me every time so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
ya i used to use it, does not seem to work on official rogers ics, the first test using it failed, can try it again but would be pointless in adding that to this tutorial since the method i described in the op seems bullet proof

i tried it 7 times on newly restored stock(yes i odin'd stock firmwares ics and gb 7 times, maybe more i lost track) and each time it it suceeded w/no errors.

even flashing it in cwm it required only one install to complete w/out errors, where the 3.07efghi-signed would fail until repeadtly flashed until it suceeded.

so for newbs/experts this tut would be the best to use....imho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Hmm I've never had to flash it more than once but I am on ATT. Is there a updated superuser out that's better and can be flashed in cwm? Btw I can't remember if I mentioned this but I use cwm touch. There has been known issues when using earlier versions but I've never had any problems flashing that su. But if there is a updated better version I would like to try it. Hey I can't help I'm a flashoholic. I'll flash just about anything once lol....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
"supersu", is not the same app as "superuser"

the su that is flashed in my tut seems to work(i only test it once) but there was a user in another thread that he had problems with the "superuser" app but the other app "supersu" he had no problems. me neither, thats why i suggested "supersu".

the cwm's that i linked in the op are all confirmed working.

they are touch based, but not all touch based cwm's are the same, i tested each one thats posted in the op

the su file i linked does not come packaged with "supersu or " superuser", but it comes with busybox, very inportant to have for su to work properly, more important than the supersu app.

supersu and superuser do not give the phone root, they just control what app has root access
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rickcr:
Just to confirm (yes newb here)..

Previously I had rooted my skyrocket using one click (on gingerbread with At&T). Today I upgraded to ICS per AT&T's instructions with Kies and obviously Root is now broken.

Since I did an update over my rooted phone, do I need to do anything first before following the original tutorial instructions here? Should I uninstall busybox first etc?

(Heading out now to get an sd card so I could try this out.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
if you just did the upgrade there is no busybox or su files anymore

but there could be superuser in the app drawer, uninstall that first....... im going to add that step to the op

then just follow the steps outlines in the op.

basically flash cwm w/odin

flash the su file w/cwm

install supersu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Yes I installed busybox after I flashed. I downloaded it from the market. The only busybox that worked right for my phone is the one stericson put out. Version 1.21 I think....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netarc:
Would you consider adding a section to the OP re: how to use CWM Recovery to a) backup your current ROM and b) flash custom ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
lol,

the first post i made was "just" to show where and how to get the true stock sammobile firmware files.

But then i had to show "how to" use odin for newbs.

Then users wanted to know how to reroot the new reflashed stock because the previous method they used "insert method here?" wasnt working, so i made i write up of how to root that would work on the new official stock ics and be bullet proof.

But in showing how to root the phone i had to show how to flash cwm using odin on stock phones.

Then they wanted to know how to unroot, had to learn that myself thinking you had to go back to stock, which is untrue.

The initial post was getting too long, so i had to split it up and dedicate how to root/unroot to its own post, the one we're on now, which is also split into two posts but same thread.

I also write the tutorial as if i was a newb and didnt understand anything, thats why they're so long, and im always reediting the three posts made for easier reading.

So to answer your question, i can/would/maybe add how to backup/restore/flash custom roms, but im constantly editing the three posts for easier reading,

im actually in the process of reversing the order of this op to be 1. flash cwm, 2. root/ unroot the phone.

i can for the meantime find some posts on using cwm and adding them as links to the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dwain77:
I rooted following your steps a few days ago, with no issues what so ever. I already hit thanks for you, but just wanted to actually say THANKS. I've been reading all about rooting/flashing for weeks so I had an idea of some of the steps required. You're 'how-to' though really brought all of what I've been reading together.

I'm sure switching the 2 posts around will make things even easier for anyone with questions. Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rickcr:
Hapgood yprogy

Yea total noob here and your instructions were great! Thanks.

Only slight change I might add is in step 7d .. maybe modify it slightly with "Press and hold both volume buttons down and do not release until after step f."

I know, I know, you mention "Read everything first" - and I did - but for some reason, in my excitement, I missed the part at the end of 7f where you mention "release the volume keys" so I was releasing too soon (before connecting the USB cable.)

Anyway thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
Yw,

i switched the 2 posts, now cwm install is first and rooting is second

Yw, K I'll put "don't release yet"

I made these posts as if I was I noob because when I was one I had to piece a lot of info together from old stickies and current threads to see what needed to be done.

Then I would see noobs asking the same questions over and over again and getting flamed over it for not searching and reading, even by me.

I spent a lot of time writing and reediting the posts just to make sure newbs would have the most up to date methods that were easy to do all in one place.

I'm glad it has helped some users and will i hope clean the forum up in less newb questions and the flaming that follows those questions.

stuck on i727ucle2 baseband

I've followed your instructions on unrooting and reflashing back to stock rom. I however am not able to change the baseband from i727ucle2 to one that is mentioned in the following post...

From any home screen touch Menu > Settings > About Phone.

Scroll to the bottom and look for Baseband Version. It should be I727UCKK1, I727UCKJ2 or I727UCLA3 before updating. It will be I727UCLF6 after the update.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowvfx:
I knew something would go wrong within the first step. These things never go smoothly for me.

So, I followed your instructions to the letter. I'm running a Skyrocket with the stock AT&T ICS on it. The update sucks SO BAD I want to root my phone to fix the problems they created.

I got odin (the one in your link) and ran it. I then dloaded the CWM from your link. I unchecked EVERYTHING but Auto Reboot. I select the CWM file under PDA. I get into download mode (exactly how you described) and I then click start in odin. Within 3 seconds it stops and this is all I get in the message window:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Obviously NOT the results you have. What am I doing wrong. I have tried this three different times with identical results. It is NOT restarting my phone, it just remains on the odin mode screen. Please help.

I can't seem to edit my posts, but I wanted to add that I cannot get Odin to recognize my phone. In your image it shows ID:COM with the box in yellow. Mine isn't showing anything like that. How can I get it to be recognized?

Question?

Hey Vincon,

Great guide, recently got your CM 10.1 superlite (it's a beauty). Anyways, this may be the wrong thread to be posting in, but, i'm some compatibility issues with some of my apps and wondered if you might be able to help?

1) Instagram - can no longer post pictures from my gallery, can only post pics if taken with instagram app...

2) Games - Noticing some unhandled exceptions with a game I (my son) plays namely Bubble Mania (lol, don't judge me). Says 'stopped functioning, must close' or whatever.

Otherwise, great work. Loving the de-bloated OS. Had to d/l of the basics (ie: calendar, email client) but 100x better than stock ROM.

Thanks, from a newb.

Hi all,

I bricked my Skyrocket. Long story but I flashed a ROM for version SGH-i777 instead of 727. Phone is completely dead. Won't power up. To make matters worse my computer won't recognize my phone. I have been having issues for a few days with my computer recognizing my phone. I keep getting error device not recognized. I still get that error when I plug in my phone even though it won't turn on.

Is there anything I can do to get to recovery mode? I have tried holding down every combination of buttons. I have followed all of the steps here for getting into recovery or download mode and nothing works. Not a hint that my phone is about to power up.

On CWM but trying to get TWRP

I am currently running Slimbean (4.1.2) on my SGS2 Skyrocket and would like to grab the newer version of this ROM or some 4.3 ROMS but most of the new ROMS require TWRP as the recovery. I have tried to load TWRP with GooManager and it keeps failing and also tried to sideload the app which also fails. I am thinking I should just flash the TWRP via ODIN. Is that possible? Will I mess anything up since I have already have a CWM installed? Let me know... I have been reading a lot of information, but get some conflicting answers....

Thanks in advance.

Update: Saw the 1STOP thread and had no issues flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 over CWM 5.0.4. However, the issue that I am having now is that TWRP 2.6.3.0 is giving me a md5 errors (as none is found) and then any flash or restore from backup fails.

if it works on another comp then its usb driver, background process or usb port.
