You have a Rogers Galaxy SII Skyrocket. The forum you need is http://forum.xda-developers.com/s2-skyrocket/help

I'm assuming you are able to boot the phone into download mode, since you flashed Entropy's UCKH7. I suspect that you have memory corruption, and not memory damage. That old UCKH7 from that thread contains only the system and kernel, and not the other files you need to do a full install, so I'm...

There is so little activity in the forums now that I don't check every day. Sorry for the delay in answering. The latest stock firmware for this phone is I777UCMD8 which is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. You can download this firmware from the Download Repository. You'll find it near the bottom of...

Posting a Dev-Host link for this stock firmware if anyone still needs it. i897uckk4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip

I'm still not clear when the wifi was working. Was it before it sat in a drawer, or recently when your brother tried to install Cyanogen? In my experience, wifi has always worked after a fresh install of any official stock firmware, and definitely after a fresh install of UCMD8, unless there...

Was wifi working before you started this process, and you were able to use it? Because, after you flashed the UCMD8 stock, wifi should have been working, and you said it was not. That makes me think that you may have a hardware issue with the wifi.

Maybe a moderator moved it here from another forum?

I don't know why I missed seeing this post last week. If you are still in need, you could try: free version of GalaxSimUnlock by spocky12. I checked, and the link still seems to be good. Downloads as a zip file. Change extension to .apk and install on your phone.

Someone along the way installed an I9100 rom on it, and the install package they used included the I9100 secondary bootloader. The text that you read in download mode comes from the secondary bootloader, and that is why it says GT-I9100. Since you have 3e recovery, it now has the stock kernel...

You'd have to ask the Samsung engineers why they did that. Since the more common standard is to have the recovery in it's own separate partition, it suggests that is the better solution, I would think.

The recovery is compiled into the kernel on this phone, but it seems that you understand that already. The kernel and system must match. You probably need to be rooted. You have not given any specifics about the firmware, what is already installed, what specific item you are trying to install...

See post #20.

First thing you need to know is that the recovery is compiled into the kernel, so you don't flash a recovery separately, you just flash a custom kernel and you will have a custom recovery after. The latest stock firmware for this phone is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but since the phone is still on the...

Was the phone running stock firmware, or was it customized? Most likely you need to reinstall the latest stock firmware. Please let us know your experience level working with phones, and we can provide some advice and/or guidance.
