I had a similar issue. Actually my phone would not boot up.
Make sure to disable lagfix before flashing anything!

Do are you saying I should do a factory reset? And when i flashed it i didn't do any data wipes.

If you have a Titanium backup, one could restore user apps & data after adding back your Google accounts. Its a little inconvenient, but doable. Otherwise restore your nandroid backup.

I do have titanium. But I don't wanna go through it again.

You may want to flash jt's generic tw kernels from 4/15 I think it is.

What I have seen that works to fix this for some people is to install v3 and boot up. Then go back to recovery and install v5. I don't know what is causing the issue as of yet, but I am working on it. Also, doing a wipe data/factory reset will not work. One more piece of bad news, don't bother with a backup on v5. If you restore to it, you will just fall into an FC hell. The only thing that really works well is having a v3 backup and flashing v5, then using Titanium backup to get all of your apps and settings back in place.
Sorry for the problems, but it's one of the things that happens when you try to bring these things forward. Bumps in the road.

I'm running v3 right now. And tried it, it didn't work.

I flashed v.5 and it didn't remove any stock apps. I flashed it over jt1134's 4/15 Voodoo ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010102).
I didn't notice any changes to my device after flashing the PnP v.5. Do I have to remove jt's ROM before I flash the PnP?

Have any of you guys flashed both this and noobnl's ROM? Currently Im running noobnls and its pretty stable so for. But it still has TouchWiz. So since Boss is suppose to run stock, can any of you tell me if Boss is as bug free as noobnls?
What custom kernel does this rom have. When I check settings>about phone>kernel version it says 2.6.29. Isn't that the stock kernel for DI07 or am I mistaking?
Since Andromeda Galaxy has shown me bad battery life thus far, I'll be testing this out when I get home. Is it based off of DI07? I know it says newest OTA in the OP, but I wanna be sure.

I tried to flash this 4 times and it flashed ok. However, the problem that I'm running into is that my apps does not reinstall. I tried Mybackup Pro as well as Titanium backup. I even manually re-installed all my apps from the market. On all occasions, i get the message that everything was restored. But when I go to my app drawer none of my apps are there. I turn the phone off then back on and i get a black screen with the capacitive buttons lite up and it doesn't go any further than that.
have anyone else ran into this problem?
Was your last rom deodexed?

1. Disable Voodoo
2. Flash the stock Mesmerize EC10 image
3. Flash the EC01 radio using Odin (Flash it to where? PDA? Phone?)
4. Flash the Evil 3.3 rom

Try A factorry reset then advance restor them back if you have a backup and see if that helps. Or just factory reset and restore a couple from the market and reboot to see if the problem persists.

agreed. if you restored from TB, then that is your problem right there. always restore from cwm.
What ROM and kernel are you on? I had that problem with kg6 and Dr.honks kg4 kernel. If you are let me know I might have an idea of what's going on.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
@ GDofWR420 Tried that.. i have a back up from the original stock rom that came with the phone.. i tried it and once i flash a rom and i test it again it go's back to the same thing... Thanks though...
@ jager555 TB?.... Ima try the link2sd idea havent tried it yet..
@ farwek well right now im on desexton KG6 but see it doesnt matter which one im on.. i thought it had to the with the kernel and or rom but ive gone back to froyo and the same thing happens... and ive tried ALL the roms in the SGS4G community but it still messes up..
I had this issue on KG6.. From what I've read, I think it has to do with having voodoo enabled on a previous ROM that left an ext4 partition on your SD card. so there may be an old partition still on the SD that wasn't removed properly.
I think you are going to have to back up your SD, do a complete format (or use minitool to remove the partitions), and reflash your phone from stock. I know it's been discussed in the dev section, maybe someone can chime in.
hmmm... i think ima just oding back to stock.. andstart off cleasn.. thanks

here's the newest guide for converting the partitions for GB. He does mention the disappearing apps problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204682
Try this. Odin kg4 leak after that Odin kg6 leak but add the csc file from the kg4. Then use the fugu mod found with the kg4 leak to gain root. After that flash drhonks kernel but font mess with voodoo yet. Update the superuser apk through the market and grab busybox installer to and install busybox. Once you have done that open superuser and you should get a prompt to update su binary update it and boot into recovery and give the ext4 conversion a go. Hope this helps and ill keep checking in on ya till you get it.

Dont lose hope. It is possible to get it all stable just tricky getting it done. The steps I posted above worked twice for me and linda converted on the first try both time. Oh yea and at the end when you enable voodoo font check your mounts just reboot.

Excuse Me!?,
TB is the best root app ever invented. I have used it since its debut, On my HTC DREAM. By the way, I always restore my apps using TB. To fix the problem, Install all your apps via market, open TB, backup all apps. Do Data/Factory Reset, reinstall TB, all is well.

i727 w/ICS 4.0.3 freezes when shutting down..?

I just updated 4.0.3 tonite, rooted, installed titanium backup, and started one by one installing my backups. I don't have anything crazy yet...angry birds, facebook, etc...(other than a couple of apps I needed like lucky patcher, busybox..etc.)
Anyway when I restart or shut down the phone, it gets stuck at the "Shutting down" screen...with no reboot.
Any suggestions or ideas before I resort to reflashing?

Yes you can flash recovery over each other in odin . Im using 5.5.0.4 cwm touch and its working fine. Able to do nandroid and fix permissions. This recovery is actually flashed in cwm.

Have you done any mods since, meaning no other flashes of other ics Roms after or in between. My problems all started after i flashed the cwm nandroid backup in another thread. The issues followed me until i did a darkside wipe then did the odin one click and all my issues went away. Im staying here for a while. Did my nandroid backup of this to always revert to.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
This is one of the known problems that sometimes occurs with the ICS leak and most things based on it. The problem is people that think they have the "know all" answer for a fix because something they did worked for them. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for averyone! So it's ok to say "well, this is what worked for me...", but it IS NOT ok to tell others that it is an overall fix or that they did something wrong because it didn't work for them like it did you.
What I have found is that everytime you flash the ICS leak (or related) you might get different results, so if you really are interested in trying to get everything working, just keep flashing until it does. It might take several tries, but keep trying. This seems to be the case for many people, but I cannot promise it will work for you.
I experienced similar results, first flash was lagged to insanity. however second flash fixed this and restored the home button funtion.
The only other thing i did after the first flash was a factory reset, which in my case fixed the home button issue. Not sure if it was freezing prior to that. I may try the cache thing but its not a burdensome enough issue to reflash again. too many workarounds to redo everything again..
Didn't realize this was so common when i posted this thread..thought it was random. Now if only someone could delete it...

Same here, though I haven't tried them all, I just went back to stock, manual debloat and a couple other mods and it's good enough for me, at least until we get real CM9 or AOSP roms.
I'm really not the type to wipe my phone and flash a new ROM twice a week. I'd rather just have something that's stable and functional, and only upgrade for big stuff.
I didnt have the shutdown problem the first time I installed the original ics leak install.
But I did after I restored a backup of it.

How Do You Dirty Flash

I've never attempted a dirty flash. Color me fastidious. I've always done a full wipe/clean flash and never had any problems.
I just read, though, that I can dirty flash v6 of the Avatar ROM. Since I'm on V3, I figured I'd give it a go.
Do I just boot into recovery and flash the ROM zip file?
What about Gapps?
Once I do it the dirty way, will I ever go back to my old ways? LOL
Thanks for your thoughts.

Dirty flash typically works if you are upgrading between very similar firmwares with no framework changes, database changes, or other major differences. Sounds like V3 to V6 has some "major differences"

Actually, I simply hook my USB up to my Infuse, copy my zip to my external SD, reboot into recovery mode, run the appropriate wipes first, then run the zip. Voila.
What do you mean by "run my zip"? You're not referring to the zip for the ROM, right? A Tibu zip?

I assume you've gone through the steps of rooting, getting CM recovery installed, etc. Once past all that, it's simple to load up any mod (run any zip).

Thanks for putting up with questions from a self educating non techie guy.
When you do a clean install, once you flash the ROM zip, how do go about restoring all your apps? I've tried a dozen different things but am wondering if there are any easier ways to restore my 100+ apps.

If you move your apps to your sdcard first, you should be able to restore the data (not guaranteed). If you are doing any cloud backup, that will definitely help.
I copied my music, pictures, etc., to my external sd care (simply via USB). That took care of that. There is also Titanium Backup, but I'm not sure how well it safeguards if you're unrooted. However, it's one killer product, and there are many here who can chime in on how well it does before rooting.
However, wish I could say I did things perfectly there, but when I went from Gingerbread to Jellybean, I lost all my records on my aCar app (and had been keeping all fill-up and service records for almost a year). So I learned the hard way.

Titanium Backup. When restoring, you can restore apps, games and data. I only restore data for games, not apps. In general, don't restore system data. That can/will cause things to FC, giving a false impression there's bugs. You can also backup call and text logs to avoid losing them. I also have well over 100 apps and games myself, and it takes no more than an hour to recover from a full wipe and clean install of a update or new rom. It's because of that that I always do a clean install. Then you get the best out of your rom. A dirty flash is only good for 2 reasons. To try a new update with the expectation of restoring a nandroid backup, or if you're lazy and don't mind "bugs".

You can also use carbon for backing up apps, even unrooted. It was made by the guy that made the original CWM, and it will let you choose where to back them up. Even has an option to backup to PC using the carbon PC app. I use both it and titanium personally, can never be too careful if you have several apps

It's just for lazy people who don't want to restore apps or set everything up again lol.
Sometimes it works ok, sometimes it doesn't
