Reflash it boss.

i tried man like 4 times =/ and even different ics roms..nothings working

similar problem, mine starts loading the rom then freezes.

Are you guys following the instructions? Pull the battery and reboot into CWM and wipe the cache, dalvik cache, factory reset

Are you wiping and clearing multiple x's

You have to wipe them at least 3 times. Pull the battery and wipe everything again multiple times

alright ill try it and let you know what happens

still nothing it gets to boot animation makes like a little click noise and reboots

You might have got a bad download. Redownload and check the md5 and make sure the download is good

You know what? This might be dumb reading some of the newer posts around here but are you using a newer recovery mod? Also use the darkside super wipe, I find it to work better than doing the wipes manually.

Try darkwipe, it was the way how I got ics to boot.

tried getting a fresh download, still no luck...ill try dark wipe tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes.
I don't think i have the latest cwm either but it worked for my phone i don't know what the deal is.

I use darkside wipe, clear cache and dalvik cache, then format /system /data and /cache.
I know its overkill but I find I pick up less ics bugs when I do it.

Have you tried the one click method?

The battery finally just died from all the reboots and I left it alone over night then it came on after I put it on the charger and rebooted but was still buggie so I used super dark wipe and flashed again and now it works great...I definitely recommend that wipe when flashing

Stuck in bootloop after installing SKYICS

I recently flashed SKYICS onto my Skyrocket. After flashing it is stuck in a bootloop and will not get past the ICS boot animation. What can I do to fix this?

What were the steps you have taken to flash it?

I flashed it through ClockWork Mod. Followed the exact instructions on the OP's post which said:
-Reboot to Clockwork
-Wipe Data Factory Data reset a few times
-mounts and storage, and format systemx3
-Wipe dalvik cache
-wipe cache partition
-Then choose 4.2e base and install zip
-Install Modem

Redownload the rom and try again. Maybe flash without the modem or flash the modem first.

Maybe try starting over with the Odin ICS leak then flash touch recovery before moving onto sky ics?
.

You have to be on touch cwm in order for it to work smoothly. I personally use tpmullan's 5.8.1.3 and never had any problem flashing with it. Also, you can try running darkside wipe before flashing. I've found that it helps in some cases. You might need to flash the stock rom with odin and start over from there

[Q] can't shut down or restart

after i installed ics smoothie rom on my skyrocket, i have problem to shut down the phone or to restart. i have to pull of the battery to shut it down. I love the rom as it has no other problem other than this issue. anybody has same problem here?

What version of cwm are you using? I had the same problem and my older cwm was the cause. I flashed cwm touch found in the dev section with Odin wiped cache and dalvick cache and fixed permissions and it fixed my problem

[Q] Process system is not responding. Would you like to close it?

I got this while replying to a text message...
I've been getting quite alot of these, from even various applications. It's driving me nuts!!!!
Is there any (permanent) solution for this??
ROM: Gummy
Kernel version: 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-BS_I896-I897 [email protected] #1
Baseband version: T959TLJL3
I'd be forever grateful if this problem could be solved... I really love this ROM

First I would reboot to recovery, then wipe cache, in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then fix permissions. If the problem comes back , I would back up your apps, msgs, that you want, then, wipe system,cache, wipe data/factory reset, and reflash. Maybe a newer rom.

This is a bug firmware, also sometimes a problem when using swap. I recommend flash newest ROM, they are much better.

I did the first thing you reommended, it didn't work and to make matters worse, ma phone doesn't pass the boot screen....
I quickly rebooted in recovery and made a nandroid backup - followed your second suggestion but i never made a backup of ma msgs because you didn't say so in the 1st suggestion... i can load new roms but can restore from ma nandroid backup

When you wipe dalvik cache, your phone can and will take several minutes to reboot, because it's rebuilding the dalvik cache. Secondly, wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions wouldn't cause your phone to not boot. Between my wife's and my phone, I've flashed Roms, updated, experimented, fixed, stuff, etc... hundreds of times, and never has a dalvik cache wipe / fix permissions caused the phone to not boot. Hesitant to try to help, because you seem to be blaming me..... But if you can't restore a nandroid, it could be you're on a kernel in which the nandroid backup/restore feature doesn't work, you are running an earlier ICS build.

I'm sorry if i came across like that...
just that the phone is driving me nuts
ALSO.... it's the second time i am seeing where reboot take way longer than usual after restoring from a nandroid backup. I av done quite a few and reboot takes less than 10mins. I attempted one the other day and 2hrs 30mins later all i saw was the splash screen and boot animation, phone HOTT!!
This evening again, it looked as if it was going to do the same thing thing... it passed 20mins, i can't sit around waiting for that again

It sounds like a flash to stock KK4 (Full Reparation) would be your best bet. If you're already on G. B. bootloaders, I would recommend the NO BOOTLOADER version, no use flashing bootloader unnecessarily. After that, I would flash the rom of your choice, following the instructions in the O. P. line by line.
Maybe a lot more current rom.

Then I recommend re-flash the stock kk4 NO BOOTLOADER, format the internal sd, install the ROM again and install all the programs manually, not with the nandroid backup.

EOS Jellybean nightly install

I don't have enough posts here to be allowed to post this in the development forum, so I figured this might be a place to ask about my issue.
I have a MZ602 (4G) and was coming from rooted ICS 4.0.4. I used TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik and system. I flashed the latest nightly (120) and GAPPs (O8120802-eos-signed.zip). When I rebooted, all looked okay except, I could not unlock. Camera works, Google works (it loads. I am obviously not online ). I double checked the MD5s and they were correct. Same problem when I flashed with the 119 nightly.
Any ideas?

Wipe data.

Tried that with no change. Also tried earlier nightly and Gapps, also no change.

From recovery, wipe all, format system , flash ROM again...

Thanks,:good: I have tried that, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your help. This stuff will definitely make us nuts.

Wipe everything via fastboot then try to reinstall.

My entire experience with fastboot was unlocking the bootloader on my Xoom. So I don't speak much fastboot. What are the commands I would need to do a wipe using fastboot and would it hamper my ability to restore my nandroids?
Thanks

I have the same problem and have tried the same things you have with no success.

Out of curiosity which recovery did you use to flash? I was using TWRP.
Another poster in the Developer Forum, happysteve11c , has this result too. So, perhaps we all did something similar. I was wearing my lucky shirt and waited until mercury was in retrograde before trying to flash, so it should have worked.
