Hello, I'm trying to get back to Eclair from Froyo, I tried flashing a .sbf which is the official Eclair release, it almost worked, the problem is that everytime that I want to start the phone it says that "android.media process just stopped" and the phone gets slow and you can't even use it sometimes, like it's frozen, is there anything I can do? or just flashing again a Froyo release will fix the issue? thanks!!
That can happen... flash the eclair sbf, go into stock recovery, clear cache and clear data/factory reset should cure this...
You were totally right!!! I just wipe cache and date, and now works perfectly thanks!!!!! thank you a lot, I will keep this in mind next time

Im currently on the original leaked USCC Froyo rom and am have alot of issue. I was wonders...
a. should I reinstall this rom to fix issues
b. will I need to revert back to stock, root, install clock work then upgrade?
c. Is there alot of people having issue with the froyo build?
issues im experiencing are lag, freezing, issue where standby button randomly takes screen shots, and a few other random issues
what should I do?
First thing I would is redownload the rom and reflash it. That is usually the easiest fix. Are you still having problems? Will try to help you where I can!
K ill redownload it and reinstall it and see if it helps
Reinstalled leaked froyo plus I installed the red CMW and voodoo.
Havent played around to much but I have noticed it runs alittle faster but thats prolly because the lagfix. still having some freezing though
What exactly is freezing? Certain apps or when you try to do certain things?
its freezes in both some times it freezes when im trying to play music sometime it freezes when im texting sometimes it right when the phone boots. it seems completely random and never had any of these errors on enclair with CMW and voodoo.
You may want to try a reset on it next. Make sure you back up everything with titanium first tho. Factory reset option in recovery. You may have to do this after a reflash tho. You may also need to wipe the dalvik cache before a new flash too. Those are the things I would try if you are still having issues.
Also be careful which things you back up with titaniun, I've read restoring certain data onto a new rom can cause issues like that

thanks for the replies I just went ahead and installed the newwer E16 rom which is running much better
I just installed the latest Das Bamf 2.0 Beta 5 and my Thunderbolt is stuck on the dots screen (background only with notification bar on top, 0 signal bar, battery and wrong time). I cleared everything before I flashed to the rom but I am stuck. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix this?
Boot into recovery and wipe then reflash the rom or a backup. Don't fret.

I guess that I have overlooked it, probably because I am worried as hell about screwing my phone.
Probably be a dumb question because I should have seen it but, How do I boot into recovery?
Edit: Found it. When I was looking for it earlier I didn't go far enough, needed to go one more page.
Well she lives again. I also tried to flash to 2.0 beta 5 and it did the same thing again. I am not sure what the problem is, but I guess I will just enjoy a rooted TB for a little while and then flash to a ginger rom of some sort.
Did you flash the radio for bamf that is posted in the first thread of bamf?
There is a special radio you need to flash to get gingerbread working.

Will this keep it from even loading the lockscreen?
If so do I flash it before or after the rom?
Edit: I just went to the 2.0 Beta 5 thread and looked, I do believe I flashed the correct radio. I will give it a try again in the morning, it is almost 1 here so I really need to get into the bed, gotta be up at 6 in the morning for work.
Happened to me too. I just reloaded the new GB radio and the flashed the 2.0 rom. All good after that.
Haha... Yeah lack of sleep doesn't help... Give it another shot after you've had a chance to get some rest.
Some people have had issues like yours. You could try re-flashing just the ROM. If all else fails just re-flash everything like eatrice313 did. You'll get it eventually.
If you flashed the radio in the bamf 2 thread then you did the right radio. You flashed it in hboot right? Should have been named P05IMG.zip If you did that then you did it right. Flash rom, then radio.
I used the non-adb method - flash rom, batt pull, then hold power and vol down to boot into hboot then flash the P05IMG file.

After some sleep I carefully downloaded the Alpha Gingerbread radio set and flashed it through hboot and then reflashed the Bamf 2 ROM and got the same result, broken on reboot.
Sorry man... not sure whats going on. Did you try rebooting to recovery and reflashing just the ROM after it boots up and is "broken"?
Somebody with more knowledge might be able to help out, I'm still fairly new to the android scene.

I did attempt that but it didn't work out for me.
The odd thing is that I tried to flash to Gingeritus and I kept getting force until the phone would just shut down. Could these two problems be be related?

I would try REdownloading the latest Bamf Beta 5 and putting it on your sd card...then factory reset everything and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reflash Bamf. You may have gotten a bad download file.

lolzzz...yeah it happens, let us know and if anything I'll help you troubleshoot your problem.
I'm having the exact problem. Flashed the GB radio, had no service with the froyo rom, flashed BAMF GB Beta 5, boot animation plays and then phone freezes.
I just reflashed the radio and still nothing I'm about to reflash the ROM and see what happens
Did you wipe Data?
I wiped data and cahe and dalvik cache
How long did you let it sit before turning off/pulling battery/throwing at the wall? First boot can take upwards of 5 minutes.
Are you talking about the animation screen or the home screen after that? I let it set a few min at the home screen and nothing happened
Just my .02.... When I and most others made the switch from froyo to gingerbread, it wasn't an exaggeration when we say "wipe, wipe, and wipe again". I wiped everything 3 times... By that I mean factory reset 3 times, wipe dalvik 3, batt stats and all 3 times. Flashed Rom in recovery, batt pull before reboot, volume down + power to get to hboot, flash radio and reboot. I had zero reboots upon startup and haven't had a problem since. Well at least no problems that weren't directly caused by experimenting with some stuff. When the phone does boot the first time, just walk away from it and let it do its thing. The kernel needs to settle. Don't jump in and start trying to set it up too fast. Patience helps a lot in the beginning.
My Milestone XT720 restarts many times. When i'm talking, when phone is in standby. It is restarting after i update it to FjFlacon's Cm7.2.
I love Cm7.2 and don't want to remove it. Please help to fix that reboots.
There is not enough information to figure out the issue.
You may need to at least provide some error/warning or logcat for some hints. Otherwise, we may not be able to address the issue, as not every people with that Rom face this issue.
Maybe is a bad flash... or try to do a factory reset... or just flash again your rom

I have seen the problem before when I didn't do wipe data/factory reset after applying the update. Just yesterday I flashed S'pore sbf, and applied CM7.2 as update, and did wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik), and all is well. So try all wipes possible from openrecovery.
Thanks, guys. Will try to wipe everything before i flash again my phone

thanks
I had same problem before... was from backup cwm when I do restaro backup... I just flashed same rom again never I get this problem

i had similar problem on previous version of sky ics. i went through the normal process of format system, clear cache, wipe davilic, but regardless of the version of sky ics, it would never shutdown/reboot. (got tired of holding down volume up/down and power to hard boot).
I ended doing ODIN back to att stock and verifying it shutdown/reboots fine.
Then i went through and installed skyics again. BAMMM it works fine afterwards...
Sounds like you had a bad install. Do a factory wipe and clean reinstall of SkyICS. If that doesn't fix it, take yourself back to stock, re-download (and check MD5s on) all files you need to install Sky, then reinstall it.
A good rule of thumb I use if a clean wipe fails, or something just doesn't feel right afterwards, is, "When in doubt, return to stock."
Thanks! problem was solved, I reflashed the stock rom then the custom one

It happens usually due to an old CWM, so if it happens again update it.
Ok, I flashed something that wasn't for my sgs2 skyrocket and when I did it nothing happened, then when I rebooted it it seemed ok untill it kept freezing, no sound even on full val. I cant call because I cant here the other person and that it freezes on every app I open it takes like 2mins to open or a force close comes up. Well I have flashed back to stock using odin but still the same problem. I dont know what to do? Any thoughts about fixing this?

If you have flashed back to stock, and are still having the same issues it sounds like there may be a hardware problem. Did you do a full clean flash back to stock? (system wipe, clear the dalvik)

Why would you flash something not for the Skyrocket?
Wipe the phone completely, as in all data, the system, caches, and repeat that wipe three times in recovery, then power down. Go into download mode and restore to GB stock (yes, all the way back), then use Kies to do the ICS update and stay stock for a few days to make sure everything works after that.
If it's still not working after that, your hardware is jacked. Restore the thing back to GB, pull the cord out during the ICS update on Kies and finish the job. Hope you're still in warranty; if not, I hear you can get a used Captivate for $60 or so while you learn not to flash stuff for the wrong phone.
in stock recovery wipe caches and do a reset, if still a no go, install cwm, wipe caches and reset x3, reflash stock firmware with odin again, perform a reset, if still a no go then hw malfunction
Well someone's lazy...

You just flashed it back? You're not making any sense. Post a link to the ROM you flashed or we can't help you.
I flashed the stock rom.
