Hello guys, newbie here..
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s2 i777 model by AT&T, love it to death.. but I can't stand that home button lag!
Anyway, I have CWM and everything running great.. and I was thinking about flashing shostock.. I've been researching, but I want to make fully sure that is this 100% compatible with my phone before I flash it..only problem is that it says it's build number is UCKH6.. and mine is UCHK7.. Will this pose as a problem for me?
A ton of thanks, I just want to be careful before I do something I regret.. lol.
if the rom is in the i777 dev section, it'll work with your phone.
Shostock works with i777. UCKH7 is the version, 2.3.6 I believe. I may be wrong. Just know it works. Thread will probably close in a few mins. Flash and enjoy. And search please, tons of info pertaining to this out there.

Sweet!
I'm going to put this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353513) Shostock 1.9 on my SD card and flash it on over.
Mucho thanks for the fast answer!

On the boot up screen it now shows Samsung Galaxy SII
GT - I9100
Everything is running and working fine however the fact that its not a GT I9100 and its showing that really bothers me.

Minor glitch with the ! warning screen. The ! warning screen uses logo.jpg from param.lfs and not logo_att.jpg
To get rid of the ! warning you need to either use a jig or flash a stock kernel.
Once your system image is rooted, you can Odin/Heimdall a stock kernel, then flash a CWM-enabled kernel from the device. I've posted multiple times on other threads how to do this.
New to this Community just Converted from iPhone 4 and have to say I love this phone so far. Have a look around to find how to remove that from the boot screen. Thanks

Not as - ummm - refined
OK, I have the i777 AT&T GS2 or whatever else you wanna call it
Phone is awesome, however, I find that the rooted / CM7-Galaxys2ATT leaves a little to be desired...
Things like...
How do I get Navigator app to accept speech input like it did with original ?
Almost all the driver mode on options seem to be whacked...
Maybe I did something (else) dumb??
Thanks!

like others have mentioned, get a usb jig on ebay for like 4 bucks
Yeah I flashed using entropys method but, have since installed cm7 and have just accepted the yellow triangle as a part of my phones boot screen now haha.

If he don't get back to you, use droidstyles guide in the general section

I agree about droidstyles guide. I flashed TSM Resurrection and runnin smooth.i do have a small problem. I flashed cmall.tar and have red recovery. Rom manager wants me to flash cwm recovery and prompt me to choose my phone (epic 4g or s-i9000) do I choose one or do something else?

Has anyone had luck installing Ubuntu on their I777?
I'm using the stock ROM that came from Rogers (canada telecom), and I've tried two different guides for installing ubuntu, neither of which have had any success.
The phone is rooted, but I'm assuming this is my stock ROM preventing me from doing things Rogers doesn't want me to do. I'm planning on switching to Cyanogen, but I figured I might as well just wait for stable cyanogen 9 instead of struggling to get 7.1 working.
you need a custom kernel like entropy and or siyha or whatever is called

This actually works on every Galaxy branded phone I've tried (as well as any android phone), as long as the file system is set up the same way... (with /sdcard being the internal and /sdcard/external_sd being the external SD.

Short answer: find out for yourself. You've been given an answer; it should. But the only 100% foolproof way to find out is to try it yourself. If it doesn't, flash a different one. Learn to help yourself sometimes, it makes the community a better place. From that, if it does work, post in the thread or update your OP with how it went, so that others can see as well. Don't simply ignore the thread once you've gotten your answer like a lot of users do :angel:
Hopefully that didn't come off harshly.

I did that. flashed ki4 and so far is working ok. ill give it a few days to test it out.

My i777 is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm very excited, its my first Android. I've been researching custom firmware and stuff like that for about a month around the web. I just have no idea where to start. I believe my phone still has some form of 2.3 on it, but it could be the current 4.0.4 ICS.
From what I understand, I update the drivers on my computer with Kies, download Odin to root the device and then what? Or superoneclick? I'm interested in CM10 but I know the bugs are still being worked out. I need my camera, MMS, bluetooth, 3g data, at&t radios, mhl, Touchwiz toggles, all the functionality with no soft keys at the bottom. JB would be great if its possible. Other wise I might as well just update the phone to stock ICS and root it for other stuff I want like sixaxis and over/underclocking apps.
There is a reason we have stickies

There's things like KK 2.3.6, is that custom GB firmware? I know there is lots of information but no where to start.
pretty sure it would make more sense once you actually have the device in hand....seems pointless to create a new thread asking how to get started when you dont even have the device yet.
use it for at least a day or 2 before you start messing with custom ANYTHING
hell, dont even root it right away. just use it as is to get a feel for it, and verify there is nothing wrong with the hardware....if you just jump in and flash custom firmware, how will you ever know if an issue was hardware or firmware related?
Interesting, good point Pirateghost. I was wanting to put custom stuff on there while I had access to a computer this weekend. Might as well wait though. I'll have a laptop to mess with everything at my own pace by Black Friday anyway.
If it is still running GB, should I upgrade it to ICS, or would that hinder the root process when I want to do that?

The second part of your reply is absolutely spot on.
The first part i dont agree with a 100%.
I too plan to purchase the i777 model in the not too distant future, and its always a good thing to start reading early. Just like getting a feel of the stock rom/hardware is essential.. its always a good thing to read up well in advance. By the time a person is analyzing the h/w.. he is in a position to relate with other user's experiences.
I too was reading up all the stickies and really did got stuck up with the KK6 2.3.6 thing mentioned right at the start and no clue/legend being mentioned as to what it was. I googled a lot and many results had the same thing.. simply started using the terms w.o any hints.
It does gets confusing tbh you know
The thing is, I understand and know the stock hardware and firmware very well already. I have been using my girlfriend's GS2 from Sprint, the "Epic 4g Touch" since she got it in May. I've used it with GB and then ICS in August (I had to tell her to stop ignoring the notification, the update was a good thing!), but it will be good to evaluate the item to fully determine that everything is good with it.
It seems like in your first post, you steered yourself away from CM10, but everything you listed works except mhl I believe. And if you really want that, you will be able to dualboot into shostock once Siyah kernel gets updated.

Looking forward to purchase a Samsung galaxy i777 (gsm) soon now.
Will be purchasing the unlocked version, Just have a little query..
Do the ROMS come out favouring any particular carrier?

What do you mean by favoring a carrier, I mean it is an at&t specific phone after all.

dont go throwin' just any s2 rom on yer phone there, buddy.
(at&t SGH-I777, sprint SPH-D710, tmobile SGH-T989, etc)
So CM10 is good for everything except mhl...what about stock ics from kies and rooting it after that. Is that simple to do?
I'm interested in project butter and all but even ics would be great as long as its not a CPU hog and laggy. I know it runs fine on the epic 4g touch.

Also, breaking Wi-Fi is nothing. Flash a kernel to obtain cwm and you've got Wi-Fi back and you're ready to flash a ROM.
