yes, at&t's official released kernel has whats known as the brickbug. and can brick your device if you factory reset the phone.

This is my third Android phone and the first one that its a Canadian one. I used to have GS AT&T and just followed guides here because everyone had AT&T and no problems there. Now that i got Wind Mobile i dont know where to start. I did unlock the bootloader so thats one thing done right. Now all the ROMs i see in Dev section are based on T-Mobile version. Will i be able to flash them?

Whatever ROM you flashed go back to the original thread and look for the kernel.
The ROM i am using recommends CWMFauxKernelv007 but that did not help or maybe i am doing it wrong? I just copied boot file form CWMFauxKernelv007 and flshed it with Easy Kernel Flasher. Did it 2 times and still no Data.
Flashed stock ROM back and 4G is back. Looks like APNs are gone. Is that something i must do every time since i am using T-Mobile ROMs?
Is this rom working in turkey
Whenever someone calls me, they say "hello" and I reply but they can't hear me. It doesn't happen ALL the time but MOST of the time. It is annoying, anyone having this problem, have solutions for it?
Running Latest AOKP.
Which kernel are you using with this rom ?
The problem you facing can arise if you are using a non-mswap version of Siyah/neak kernel as we need to use the mswap version only for AOKP/CM9 based roms ..
I faced the same issue when I didn't read the OP of the siyah kernel and flashed the wrong one over paranoid ..
Hope this helps !!!

all modems will work for you, and you would need an AOSP flashable zip in order to flash if you are running AOKP....

I777 ICS LEAKED MODEM 06-20-2012 I777UCLE5 http://db.tt/sNefYKWV
" gonna try it out right now.
I have an ATT I777 on the UCKK6 base. Id like to root it. Its obviously still running GB and that base I listed. I know they sometime lock stuff down further with different update. So the question is, would there be any issue with updating the phone to ICS through KIES and then rooting? Or should I root it before? If I root it before will I lose root if I try to update it then, I would think so at a minimum.
does anyone know the most current base, or what it would be that I came out with after the KIES update?

No. This phone is definitely *not* unbrickable if, by unbrickable you mean not capable of being bricked. If you mean can it be brought back from a brick, then it depends on the type of brick we're talking. If you're talking the hard brick caused by the eMMC bug, then no. You won't be bringing it back from the dead.
If you have not already, I would advise reading the post at the following link, then reading the thread related to the mentioned app:

Nicks right. But you'll be fine if u wanna try out stock ics. Just remember not to wipe data / factory reset with that kernel and.you're ggood to go. I installed it two days ago and ran it for a while. It worked fine but the battery drain was killing me. So I switched. Good luck, happy flashing.

If you will root your phone, suggest to use ShishiROM ICS. It has a great battery life.

No need really, I'm so used to running ASOP like ROMS on my other phones I probably wouldn't like it anyway. I was mostly just curious as it seems that with the base I'm currently on rooting is a little more involved. I was also wondering if Sammy had maybe patched something in the new build.

Here is what I would do if I were you. When I rooted mine I was on KH7 so I used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit then installed Mobile Odin to flash Entropy512's DD 3-7 GB kernel to get CWM then flashed a custom ICS ROM. I went back to look over creepys guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter" I have read it 100 times I just want to make I got you the best info I could.... Give a BIG shout out to creepyncrawly for putting that guide out!!! Make sure you read that guide lots of great info... I did see a KK6 stock rooted package on here 1a. just read up see what is best then just follow the steps..... If you have any more questions just post them in this thread.
1. If you flash the 2c. "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
1a. Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
2. Then install Mobile Odin link (You will need this to flash Entropy512 GB kernel just extract the zImage from the zip file and load it in the kernel slot in Mobile Odin)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
3. Then flash Entropy512 GB kernel to get CWM link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460
4. Then you can flash any custom ROM you want!! AOKP is a great choice Task650 is VERY solid.... GL link

You can always go for a custom ROM!! In my opinion, using a custom ROM is much awesome than stock. Try something like omega and all. It has huge support!! It is already having the latest firmware. So u dint have to worry about the update.

I have been waiting patiently on the Jelly Bean update for the SGH-I777, and finally got frustrated and decided to root and get a custom rom. The walkthrough that I followed apparantly had the I9100 kernel linked so after I finished, I had no modem. I found a flash to stock, but it put me back to Gingerbread and rooted. Also, CWM does not work properly either, I keep getting errors when trying to boot into recovery. So, my question is, how can I fix this or how can return the phone to ICS and wait for Jelly Bean official?

Install mobile odin lite, and flash Siyah gingerbread kernel. That should give you cwm. And then you can flash whatever rom you want.
Ok, got Siyah installed. Now, can you recommend a solid Jelly Bean build?

Ok, things have progressed a bit, I have now gotten Siyah to run and downloaded/flashed AOKP's Jelly Bean build but the phone seems to be stuck on the unicorn screen "Initiating Swagger". Any ideas?

Just a heads up. Your chancesnof getting official JB armless then 1% as att has dropped all update support for it.
