Default Is this phone the exact same as the Rogers SGH-I727R?
Can we follow the root/rom guides in here? the specs seem to be exactly the same

Not sure this is the easiest way, but works for me:
While holding down volume up and down, push power. Keep volume buttons held until after samsung screen.

You could also use rom manager to boot to recovery.

But I wouldn't recommend flashing my Odin TAR on a Rogers device.
