i have not used goo, but i think it needs a custom recovery to be installed first and/or rooted to access the recovery partition, but we cant root our phones w.out a custom recovery already insttalled, its like the chicken and the egg.

so the answer is no, but if you want try it and see what happens, 99% it would likely give you an error message, but either way when using goo make sure you install the skyrocket version or it will brick your phone

Hi Vincom,

I currently running Mohan Embryo 6.4 and have the latest CWM v14.4.6 installed on my skyrocket. I hear great things about TWRP recovery and want to switch to TWRP latest recovery and try it out. Do I just flash the latest TWRP recovery file?

Thanks.

HOWTO root skyrockt

Vincom, very thankful for the clear instructions on how to root my skyrocket. Me being a newbie I had to read the post at least five times before I started to get a clue and gain confidence. I followed your instructions to root my phone then backed up my phone, installed cm10, gapps for jb which I found here at the xda site and on the first try without soft bricking my phone I have cm10 jelly bean running smoothly. Again much thanks to Vincom!

twrp

I am a complete noob. I followed this guide. Got TWRP installed. But when I tried to install the suroot-busybox file it would say success! but I would still not be rooted. I tried a few times and knew I was doing it right and kept getting the same response. Something inside me told me to check the settings box on twrp and there I found a kind of a "try before you buy" box was checked. I unchecked it. Also I had checked the check md5 box and check zip signature box. After I unchecked those everything went as it should.I now have a rooted phone thanks. I did want to mention( and maybe someone has already mentioned it) if you use TWRP as the recovery and have trouble getting rooted be sure and check the settings of TWRP.

You have the custom recovery installed, that's good. Read the guide on rooting. The next step will be to flash super su-busybox with your custom recovery. But read the guide for details.

question not seen addressed here

Hi

I'm a noob.

I've read this post numerous times.

My phone is rooted and I have ICS installed.

all I want is a consistent stable platform where my screen is responsive and doesn't jitter, jump and jive and lock up on me. Where I don't hafta remove battery and sim card to get the dang thang working properly.

I Ordered new sim card, but its still doing same thing. I tried flashing jelly bam and it soft bricked. Thank God I was able to restore it, but I'm a Lil gun shy bout trying again.

I just dwld the cwm u.d., but haven't installed it yet. Do I hafta have my phone hooked up to a puter with internet access to u.d. cwm and flash a Rom, or do any of these steps ur linking "click here" or can I just download and install from my phone?

My phone is my only internet source unless I pack up my laptop and go to library or Starbucks

If I already have titanium back up, cwm, super SU, Rom manager, do I still need Odin?.

(if u know of any good pre paid Wi fi services I'd love any input there too)

Thanx for your help and patience

OK, ran into a bit of a problem. My phone is already flashed and rooted, and was working fine for several months. My phone was asleep, but as I pressed the power button to wake it, it flashed the home screen for a second, then flickered off. Soon after, it does the pulse vibrations, similar to when you have the volume up/down buttons and power button held, but it stays in that loop. I removed the battery, tried the manual recovery (volume up/down buttons and power button held), but it stays in this vibrate loop. I then tried Odin, but it can't even read that the phone is connected. Also, I noticed that when I first put in the battery, or plug it into a USB (with no battery), it goes into vibrate mode without turning on. Ideas?

Edit: I read elsewhere that the power button could be the culprit. But, the button seems to press like normal. Could it be that?

Edit v2: Now I'm near certain that it's the power button after reading around here. vincom's One Stop post with all the DIY's on fixing the power button hopefully will get me on my way. I'm going to go with this route: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35316878&postcount=16

Hello,

Newbie here :D. I just got a used AT&T S2 skyrocket I-727 off ebay. So far so good an it's all stock . My previous phone was a Moto Atrix2.

I had a few questions

1. Unlike my previous Motorola Atrix2, I assume the boot-loader in S2 skyrocket is unlocked? So this mean there is less risk of permanently bricking the S2? Correct?

2. What is the most popular and stable ROM for the S2?

3. After flashing a custom ROM, IF I want to return to all stock ICS - what post/thread here do I follow?

I'm running the current "official" cwm touch v6.sumthing (not sk8's version) but may try twrp, since many of the roms seem to explicitly state use that recovery.

back in the day, like last year lol, there were so many issues using rom manager in respect to cwm that it was advised to just stop using it if it accessed the recovery, the reasons given then were either user error or not compatible w/sk8's rewrite of cwm, either way i just never did use it for that purpose and suggested others do the same, imho not really needed for recovery operations

Assert protection. Either you're using a t989 recovery or an old skyrocket recovery.
