INTRO:

FOR NEWBS OR COMING FROM ANOTHER DEVICE: PLEASE READ

THIS PAGE IS FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY SKYROCKET SG2 LTE: MODEL# "SGH-I727" FOR ATT & "SGH-I727R" FOR ROGERS.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME PHONE AS THE FIRST GENERATION SG2 I9100, FLASHING ROMS/KERNELS/RECOVERIES FROM HERE WILL HARD BRICK THE I9100.

The Skyrocket Has Four Main Partitions > Recovery - Radio - Kernel - System.

All Custom Roms Only Have The Kernel And The System , Which I/We Refer To As "The Rom".

No Custom Roms Include The Recovery And/or Radio Other Than Full Stock Firmwares.

The Recovery Is A Seperate Standalone File/partition And As Such It Is Not Tied/linked/combined To The Rom And/or Kernel.

Samsung Made The Skyrocket Very Easy To Flash Custom Roms And/or Root The Phone

There Is No Bootloader To Unlock.

The First And Foremost Thing You Need To Do Is Install A Custom Recovery TWRP - HOW TO HERE.

Once You Have TWRP Installed Then You Can Install/Flash Roms, Radios, Kernels, Recoveries, Root The Phone, Etc.

Newbs B4 You Flash Or Are Having A Problem:

Read The Stickies!!! What Are Stickies? Read THIS POST

Search!!! HOWTO HERE or HERE

We Can Tell By Your Question That You Havent Done Any Of The Above And You Might/Will Get Flamed.

WE DO LIKE TO HELP BUT PLEASE DO ABOVE FIRST

Once You Know What You Are Doing And Are Stumped At A Certain Problem, Post In The Q&a Forum.

Problems And Questions Are To Be Posted In The "Q & A Forum" Not The Dev Forum !! Unless Its Directly Related To A Particular Rom, Then Post It In The Thread For That Rom If The Dev Allows Such Questions.

|Read This b4 posting | THE MOST Common Questions Answered HERE |

Do Not Ask For A Which Is The "BEST" Rom Or Any Adjective Thereof For A Rom As The Mod Will Close It, Read About Them In The Dev Forum And Decide On Your Own.

HOWTO RESTORE TO STOCK USING ODIN .. By Vincom

THESE ARE EXACT COPIES OF ROGERS AND ATT STOCK FIRMWARE'S w/STOCK RECOVERY, RADIO, KERNEL, BLOATWARE AND ALL.

YOU CAN FLASH ANYONE OF THESE TO EITHER ATT OR ROGERS PHONES.

USE 7-ZIP OR WINRAR TO EXTRACT.

YOU WILL NOW HAVE 2 FILES UNZIPPED, ONE IS THE TAR FILE WITH A MD5 EXTENSION(do not change the name) WHICH YOU USE WITH ODIN, THE OTHER IS A DLL WHICH WE DONT NEED:

NEW: GOTO SAMMOBILE.COM/FIRMWARES ENTER I727 AS MODEL

YOU NEED TO CREATE A FREE ACCOUNT B4 DOING THAT

NOTE: DEC 2013: SOME FIRMWARES ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON SAMMOBILE SO IM HOSTING A FEW OF THEM AS NOTED BELOW:

4: RADIOS/MODEMS

WHAT IS RIL: A Radio Interface Layer (RIL) is a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem. AFAIK every rom has it.

WHAT IS CSC: Only Included In Stock Firmwares And Afaik Is Not Included In Any Cm Based Roms.

i727(r) freg's:

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100

4G=LTE ON CM - ON CM AND ITS DERIVATIVES, AOKP, AOCP, PARANOID, ETC, THE 4G ICON IS THE LTE SIGNAL.

ROMS BASED ON STOCK AND CUSTOM GB & ICS can use GB, ICS & JB RADIOS.

ROMS EQUAL TO/OR GREATER THAN CM 10.2 MUST USE JELLYBEAN (JB) 4.1.2 RADIOS.

FOR UNLOCKED PHONES TO BE USED ON CARRIERS OTHER THAN ATT/ROGERS: DEPENDS ON RADIO/MODEM YOU ARE ON AND THE FREQUENCY AND APN'S(for data & mms) REQUIRED BY YOUR CARRIER.

5: RECOVERIES

HOW TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY

ZIP FILES >flash within your current "custom" recovery

TAR.MD5 > flash with odin - use if on stock recovery but will work on any recovery, stock or custom - auto checks integrity(md5) of file before flashing it.

TAR > flash with odin, DOES NOT auto check integrity(md5) of file before flashing it - manually check hash b4 flashing.

IMG > use adb or read this or this

fyi - once u have twrp/cwm installed via odin its easier to just use zip method going forward.
