Hi,
I recently bought the new Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE SGH 1757M (Bell Canada) and is wondering if using the 1777 ROM (this forum) would be acceptable. I was unable to find a section dedicated to my phone.
Thank you
I would guess if you want to turn your phone into a paperweight, go ahead. But if you need a phone, I wouldn't try it.

i have already successfully rooted in the past (had the galaxy s). But i am also aware, that a slight change could cause error (this is why i am asking). Isn't there any section on this forum dedicated to the new Galaxy S2 LTE?
Your phone model is SGH-I757M. You could have searched, but you can go here as a starting place. Maybe you can find more info around there. BTW, this was the first result from a google search using the terms "sgh-i757m xda"
To make your life easier when searching, it's i757m, not 1757m. Same in here, it's i777, not 1777.
Thanks everyone for your input. case solved.
OP - please take a few minutes in the future, and do some searching. No need for this thread at all.

Are there plans to create a Telus forum?
I have both a Samsung Galaxy S T959D and a Galaxy S 4G T959P. When I go looking for answers in "like" phones I normally get told that this is not the place to ask or did you search the forums? I would be nice to have one place for Telus related issues. All I want to do is root my phone but I have talked to other Telus users that have used the forums and wrong software and failed miserably.
Thanks and Best Regards.
For rooting your phone, I'd suggest you go to the respective forum for your devices.

Hi System,
That is just it, there is no forum for anything Telus specifically for me Samsung T959P or D. From what I have read, the hardware is different for this phone and has the potential to become a paper weight if we use advise from phones that look like ours but the different internals.
Maybe someone has already asked the question for your specific device? Try the search function with your device version. If nothing appears, maybe specify it in your question.
If you can't get help on a Galaxy S forum, I don't know where else
The thing is if XDA created specific forums for each carrier branded phone it would get quite cluttered.
Okay System, I understand, but I had to give it a try. I probably just have to wait a while. The update came out on Saturday from 2.2 to 2.3.4 so eventually someone will figure it out.
Thanks for your time. You can close the thread.

This is not root or rom related. Are you using it on at&t?
A search would have led you to the "return to stock" sticky and then we'd have one less of these same threads.

Can you contact the seller?
Return the used device and demand the brand new one.
You spent money for a new product, not a second-handed one, do you?
Worst case, the seller doesn't do the honor, post their Ebay name on so others won't purchase products from them
Suggestion: When posting in an Internet forum, read the sticky posts at the top of the forum first.
The answer to your question is right above in the stickies.
its unlocked and rooted
Galaxy S II unlocked and rooted, but no wifi.!!!!!!!
... Kids these days.
I would just like to request that a sticky be made or a warning be added to the main stickies in the original and ported development forums to warn users that the i777 Galaxy S II 4G is not the i727 Galaxy SII Skyrocket. It seems really easy for myself as well as others to confuse the two.
I bricked my friends Skyrocket after flashing a ROM from the ported development thread as others have also done. Here is the post from the skyrocket forum.

So, I made the stupidest mistake ever flashing a rom. My friend comes over and tells me his phone is slow and acts funny. He says that he wants a new Rom which is more user friendly (if there is one). So, I've already flashed a ROM on his phone before so it already had CWM recovery installed. I decide to try MIUI on the phone.
The first thing I do, which is what I always DID (and unless I get lazy will never do again) is open up google and type "XDA AT&T Galaxy S II", fairly harmless, I though but it turned out to be a fatal mistake. I search the forums, see buzz about ICS leaks and figure I'm in the right place then I see a section called ported development. I go there and see MIUIandroid for Galaxy SII right off the bat and download it without a second thought. This may seem obviously wrong to you all but being that I am a Nexus S 4G user, I am unaccustomed to the numeration of the model number, I thought i777 sounded correct.
I boot into recovery then proceed to back-up the phone, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and finally system like always then flash the rom. It flashed just fine then I returned to the recovery screen and tapped reboot system.
It never turned back on. No matter what I did to try to get a response (two buttons then plug in usb to get ODIN with and without the battery), nothing, no response. I didn't figure out why until I went to find JTAG services and found that the i777 was in fact the older model.
I plan to send it in to be JTAG'ed and buy my friend a Galaxy Nexus. We've been friends for years and he isn't mad at all. I have a job and can afford it (even though it sucks). I figure I owe it to him. However this could have all been avoided if I had paid attention.
In closing, I would first like to suggest some things so maybe some of you learn from my mistakes.
1. As experienced an XDA'er as you may think you are, even you can make (uber) rookie mistakes. Pay attention and work slowly, your wallet will thank you!
2. Never, EVER flash a rom for a friend! The worst things always tend to happen when you are using someone elses stuff! (no idea why, but they do!)

I recognize many will say I didn't pay enough attention and that this is completely my fault. That's true, it is.
However, I think adding a warning wouldn't harm these forums and feel that it would be extremely helpful. Most people are not perfect and small reminders like that could help spare users from making a grave mistake.

Just curious... if you didn't take the time to see if you were in the right forum, would you have REALLY checked the sticky to see if it was the right forum also?
I guess if you say it would help.
I wonder if anyone has ever accidentally flashed a skyrocket rom on a i777?

Uh, how about no. Users should know this.. we do NOT need a sticky for this..
ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

There's a thread for the phone you have in this forum; look in the Straight Talk thread and you'll find the help you need.

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck

I just bought a Galaxy S2 from HSN.com (http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/1062786 )
and wish to ultimately use Lycamobile on it but I understand that I have to SIM Unlock it. I also understand it comes with 2.3 I believe and I'd like to go to something 4.2.2.
I've seen a lot of threads but I'm confused as to the exact steps that actually WORK TODAY.
I'm used to my Galaxy Nexus so know a little but this seems a bit different.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
What model number is it; what does the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?
The right direction is the T-mobile S2 forum (T989)
This is the I9100's forum, so yeah, you're in the wrong place.
Ask a mod to move this Q over there.
