[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] juanes66:
First I have a unroot and unlocked galaxy s2 skyrocket, I tried several times upgrade my galaxy s2 skyrocket from GB 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.4 (The Official one) through Kies Software but every time I have the same issue.

After Kies says that there is a new firmware to my device and ask me if I want to upgrade, Kies starts to download and reach the 100% but after that nothing happens, the phone reconnect again to Kies and say the same thing.

I run Kies as admin, also use the Samsung usb cable, also reinstall Kies severeal times, I changed the usb port of my pc, the USB debuggin mode is always on, I don't know what else I can do about it, I'm thinking to install the official firmware through Odin but I'm not really sure to do because I read that their is some chips that has a problem with the eMMC and after check that, I found that my cellphone is in risk because it has a KYL00m chip with 0x12 revision so I'm no sure what to do.

Any Help?.

You could of at least tried to help. It seems like people here care less and less about helping and more about reporting people in the wrong sub forum.

To OP, do you have enough memory space/full battery charge? When I first tried to upgrade it wouldn't work but didn't give me any sort of error notice. I cleared the memory and voila.

I found this extended battery case on eBay for £15.99 with free UK delivery.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180939675217

It fits my SGS3 perfectly, very secure clip at the top and the micro USB connector at the bottom keep it in place very nicely.

It does effectively double the weight of the phone, but for added battery capacity I'm willing to put up with the extra weight.

It has all the required cut outs for camera, light, speaker, headphone jack, and the microphone.

The volume rocker and power button are exposed, and the case does get in the way a little, but not much, will probably prevent accidental button hits in my pocket.

It has an integrated stand which seems sturdy and clips snugly and securely into the back of the case. It does a good job of keeping the phone at a comfortable viewing angle and seems quite strong.

As for the battery part of this case, there are 4 blue status lights that show remaining capacity and an on/off button along the bottom. I have yet to properly test capacity, it came with about 50% charge, and I charged it up to full in about 2 hours from that, and charged the phone at the same time from 56% to full. I'll update this post when I see how well it charges the phone from around 1%.

I'll post some pictures of the phone in the case later, any questions are welcome.

Update: OK, so the battery case managed to get my SGS3 up to 84% from 4%, so an 80% charge without needing to reach for a charging cable is pretty good for a Chinese eBay battery, can't complain for the price!

1. form:

what are the end result dimensions? I have the hyperion 4200MAH battery and cas, and was wondering mow much larger yours is than mine.

for reference mine is: 140mm long x 73mm wide x 18mm deep. (with the hyperion honeycomb case)

2. function:

what kind of change did you get in battery life? for reference, i more than doubled.. perhaps closer to 2.5 times my battery life.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Deleted member 2457518:
1. Dimensions are 148 x 73 x 14

2. This is an external battery pack, not a battery replacement, and as stated in original post, I have not fully tested the charging capabilities yet, will be reporting on those later. From the capacity of the battery I would guess that it charges the battery 1 1/2 times, but that's only a guess, this is an eBay Chinese battery after all.

i have the exact same battery case, not sure if i have a defective one, it only charges my S3 up to 48% so its kinda disapointing only around 1400+Mah from the advertise 3200Mah

i tested it with a fully drained S3 (waited till the phone turned off by itself) and fully charge the case and installed the phone turned off

anyone else tested its capacity?

might just change the internal battery later on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Deleted member 2457518:
Well mine is charging at the moment from 4%, currently at 16% and still going strong, I'll report back with results when either the phone reaches 100% or the battery case dies trying.:D

Thanks.

I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjkingphd:
Where can I find the correct bootloader file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I've been searching and no joy but will continue. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag.

Crawj I thought the boot backup was the ZIMAGE partition its the kernel not the bootloader.

It might be confusing because in samsung tars the bootloader is the boot.bin while the zimage is zimage.

You have the xloader, bootloader the recovery partition (unused on this phone), the boot partition (zimage) system cache and data. The first 2 not being in nandroids.

I always thought it was both the bootloader and kernel. I could very well be wrong though. Because I have never tried it myself.

I frequently flash the EL29+CWM Direct Boot with no issue. Maybe its just me? Although, I have occasionally had it just go to a black screen with nothing after, in which case I restore using odin. So considering that if that happens, you can't restore, I wouldn't try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
CWM doesn't backup the bootloader.. It can be written to and pulled from adb, but there is a weird partition layer in there that messes with things. If you go about trying to fix it via adb and mess up, your phone won't even come on..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
