This site is huge! A wealth of information. You peoples have put a lot of time and effort into this site! I read and read but I get a little confused.
I just rooted my phone today, but I am having a hard time finding a custom rom, or any rom as a matter of fact that will work with my
rogers sgh-i9747m is the AT&T one the same or Bell. I am sure that there has been a thousand threads like this and I am sorry to have asked it
again. I am currently running 4.1.2 jellybean and would like to upgrade.
Thanks in advance. I will be here for awhile reading
So I found a jb 4.3 rom, still unsure if it will work.... the title says at&t, rogers, bell, ect... but there is no instruction for rogers i747m again, at&t the same? Seems like this phone is hard to update...

I`ve just found out that Samsung would "send" us the update that most of us were waiting for a long a time. However, I have no idea if I would be able to get it or not.
Why? I went to NY a couple of months ago and I bought the phone over there... I came back to Europe and I am using the phone without problems except for this issue with the GPS.
I am still able to receive this update even after unlock the phone to use it overseas? If not, what can I do? I have never rooted my phone or any other of those things, to be honest I dunno much about phones.
What are the benefits of rooting? What are the ROMS for? (just trying to catch up a bit without creating 2 threads ).
Cheers!
Moved to Q&A and edited forst post and title.
I guess you have a valid question cocnerning the GPS and Update....but if you want to know about Rooting and ROMS start reading...all the info you require can be found with out starting a new thread.
Thanks!
Somebody? Please!
No one? Please help me out
Ive been to T-Mobile here in Germany and they have no idea about this! It would be so nice if I could get this info somewhere
Hey guys. I came from the Sidekick 4G and helped ROM development there. However, it was time for me to go. In lieu of this, I picked up the SGS2. Like any other user here on XDA, I want pure freedom and control of my device. However, I'm a bit confused. The picture for this category has a weird middle button, which is lacking on mine. Mine is the T-Mobile variant and I just used Kies to update to 4.0.3 official. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to root 4.0.3 ICS Official on T-Mobile? Thank-you in advance.
P.S : I tried searching, but all of the threads confused the hell out of me, and I just want a clear justified answer.
EDIT : Found a forum with the name T-Mobile Galaxy S II, thank-you for your time. Mods, please close/delete.
Just use the rooting guide by "Rachmat".Install a kernel like Siyah before/in case your going to use 4.0.4 stock.

I know there probably are like 50 other threads of people asking the same thing, I've looked through a LOT of them, none of them actually tell me anything useful I want to hear. So, as the Title says, I'd love to know if there is actually any type of update, or way to update the phone to ICS or JB... A lot of people keep saying no, but some others are certain there is a way, I've found a couple of root options, but they all seem shady. If anyone knows how to work out this phone, to get a higher version of Android, I'd appreciate it, if the need to root happens, then some advice about it would be appreciated...

Thank you
I have the same phone and been looking for a ICS rom for it, no luck so far. I did root mine and mod the original rom just fine. Over all it didn't add anything to it but I wanted to use the titanim backup app and others who need root. I know straighttalk phones are always a little behind others sold by att and bigger companies, so maybe someone will come up with a rom soon. May check cyogenMod see if they support it.

Yeah I've seen that not everyone put time into Straighttalk phones, and so far there is still nothing. I won't lose hope though!
I don't think you are in the right thread:

Hey guys, I just swapped phones to the GT-N7005. I have been going through the forums since morning today and I cant seem to find a definite answer to which new i717 ROMs (if any) are compatible with that phone. I saw that the rooting method is basically the same as the i717. I tried an individual search in some of the most popular i717 around to check their compatibility with the N7005, no luck.
Help would be greatly appreciated at this point, thanks!
I used a few N7005 roms on my i717, so they are compatible.
Hello rangercaptain, thanks for your reply. Would that be possible the other way around? (i717 roms on n7005)
If so, is there a possibility to brick the phone and render the 4G unusable? I read in a few threads that flashing an i717 rom will mess with the modem of the phone since those 2 handhelds are a bit different.
I have been flashing devices since winmo 5 but I cant seem to figure this thing out.
I am a bit (actually a lot) confused, any clarification would be of great help!
(I am starting to regret that trade haha)
I have searched this forum with no luck, so I'm asking for input. I have, and love a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket that was customized and is now a T989. Over the 3 years I've owned it, it has worked flawlessly on T-Mobile 4g. I would like to upgrade the OS. I have also purchased a factory unlock for the phone over a year ago, but never used it. Below is ther content of what I am running. My question is, or should I say are, what phone do I own, and how would you upgrade its operating system? Would you factory unlock it? I don't want a new phone as this one is a perfect size. I do appreciate any help, and if I missed where this was posted on this site, I apologize.

If this is too cpmplicated, I get it. Your time is important but I had to ask as I couldn't figure it out, and I'm pretty techy otherwise.

Just find a rom you like and install. Make sure you update the radio(http://goo.im/devs/Void_Dweller/T769-UVMB1_modem.zip) - that's for JB and newer roms for use with Tmo.
