[Q] Got my replacement S2... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

And am I confused. First, I look at the About Phone stuff and see that it came with 4.0.3, baseband i777UCLE5, kernel version 3.015-i777UCLE5-CLCL652575, build # IML74K.CLE5. All well and good, I guess. I now have ICS on my S2. What baffles me is that where the signal icon was on my old S2 is now a 4G icon. Since when is the S2 4G capable? It can't be a Skyrocket because it clearly says this is an I777. I haven't been keeping up in here, so forgive me if I missed something about this.
Now I need to find the simplest way to root this phone so I can install TiBU and get back all my apps and data.:good:

So it's not actually operating in 4G, because it seems to be way faster than my old S2 on 2.3.4? Thanks for the reply.

It's not actually operating on LTE; any increase in speed is mostly due to the change in modem.
AT&T, being the lying cheating bastards that they are, have always called HSPA+ "4G" because they wanted to look like they were keeping up with Verizon.

Sounds like something the FTC and FCC should look into.

Yeah, "4G" is not 4G on any carrier unless it is specifically called 4G LTE. Technically HSPA+ is an advanced 3G technology. Even today's LTE doesn't fully meet the original set of requirements the ITU-R designated for 4G, which was a speed of 1 Gbit/s. Learned this on Wikipedia one day.

[Q] HTC Sense 3.0 Lockscreen?

Hello all!
I was just wondering if this will work on the TB. The video over at Phandroid makes it seem pretty cool, and one of the comments mentioned that it would work on the Thunderbolt. Does anyone have it working? Is it available for the TB or any of the ROMs out?
check it out (video included) here:
http://phandroid.com/2011/05/05/download-htc-sense-3-0-lockscreen-for-select-evo-roms/
looking for the same thing! can you tell me if you have rooted your TB?
I've been trying the "Easy Root" program for days without luck.

That lockscreen is indeed sick.
Notice the [Q] in your thread title?
Notice the "Q" & A section in the Thunderbolt forum?
JohnDaddyo,
Yes, I am using a rooted TB. I used the manual method that avlfive linked to, as I thought it was the best bet. I didn't know anything about it, but as long as you have SOME computer knowledge, you should be fine. Knowing basic DOS commands comes in handy.
g00s3y,
Sorry! (I thought this was more of a development issue... and more of a "work in progress" kind of a topic). many apologies

LTE issues

Do we really need a separate forum?

Since it has been discovered that the AT&T One is identical to the international, except for the radio, is a separate forum really needed?
I find myself gravitating to the international forum anyway since that's where the ROMS and meaty information are.
The bootloader is unlockable, and ROMS for the international phone work fine on ours.
Mods?

I would agree with this - this isn't a One X/One XL situation, and there's no sense dividing our community. I think it will actually generate more confusion this way.

The radio isnt different either lol. I was working with turge testing a symlink mod so we can use new radios without s-off and it worked. It took a while, thought it wasnt working, The radio version wasnt changing. Come to find out the stock ATT radio was the exact same radio as the latest WWE (world wide English) Radio from the latest base that all the devs are using. After pulling the radio from an asian ruu and installing it, it then changed versions. It was actually working the whole time but the radios were the same so it didnt look like it.

only problem at this point is radio and firmware.

So essentially it's a fake flash? Flashing to a different partition and then unmounting the radio partition and using the mdm partition as the radio? Interesting..

Onexl Icons are far to small the One uses xxhdpi icons ( 76x76) Onexl uses 50x50. I used the stock AT&T icons. Here is the zip. Already tested myself, but backup just incase https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31377968/AT&T_data_icon_fix.zip

Yes. People on AT&T have flashed international roms no problems and it looks like the same for T-Mobile.
Does anyone know if you can flash a ROM from another network being that the phones are virtually identical with the exception of the radios. I am coming from Sprint and loved ViperRom but sadly he is staying with Sprint. I wonder if it would work or would I be looking at a brick if I tried.
It'll brick your phone hard. I came from the evo 4G lte. Viper roms were great but until he comes over or someone ports his roms we're out of luck.
Though a good thing is deck had already moved over to the one so cm10.1 shouldn't be too far away

Unless it is AOSP based roms all of them will be similar with few tweaks and options. The main advantage is having the latest ruu since carriers take forever.
