I little background on me; I have been rooting phones for several years. Original Iphone, Iphone 3g, Palm Pre twice (humble opinion the best OS ever), HTC Aria, now arguably the best combination of hardware and software the Motorola Atrix 2.
I've tried each of the available ROM'S and I've settled on RebelROM. First and foremost its ease of install. Secondly butter smooth, debloated and great interface.
My question is this, why are the other ROM'S restores and not flashable? How can a novice with minimal time(7 kids, not all at home. 3 grandkids. Mother who is sick and I work nights) help? I have no coding background but I am tenacious.

Good choice! I too prefer it, not necessarily due to installation cause they're all easy to install but cause of the look, feel, smoothness, and minimalistic nature of it. It just feels right!

If you want to help, you could PM a developer and ask about beta testing.
The reason that some ROMs come in a CWM backup is because it makes the ROM a bit easier to distribute and it removes the problem of symbolic linking. Symbolic linking is pretty much telling Android that file "a" is going to be an exact mirror to file "b"... which is all fine and good, however in a flashable zip the developer needs to figure out all the different symbolic links and make sure that they are linked after the guts of the ROM is copied over... for example the reason that some ROMs didn't have hardware buttons working is because the flashable zip didn't create a symbolic link that was necessary for hardware buttons. I think that flashable zips are the best way to distribute a ROM, however the developer will have to figure out all the necessary links.
I'm still sticking with good ol' Supercharged Rom
My concern with beta testing is this is my only phone. If I could be assured that I can recover without the need for a computer, then I'm loving this.

Yes I have had to recover several times over several different phones, twice on this Atrix alone. My problem is that with my schedule I only have access to our computer for about an hour in the afternoon. Working nights make this just when I get up.

CWM Recovery on boot? I haven't had to use it yet but it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling that everything will be alright. That and a known working backup on my SD card.

This link is the thread in our Atrix 2 forums and it does mention some bugs. I personally experienced the GPS one and i stopped using it. but it is up to you. it is definitely a good idea in case you do mess up.
You beat me to it crazyazn. Oh, and I am sacrificing GPS having this installed. I make sure and have the remove script on hand if I run into an emergency where I need GPS. It has been said by Jim Bridgman that this shouldn't effect GPS but it seems to for me and some others. If I remember there are cases where GPS is re-gained. I can't remember where the posts are right now.

GPS is working fine for me and im on Beta 3 also. At first it didnt work for me, heard cwm on boot could have been the cause so I ran the removal script and gps worked but I lost my oc in the process. Ended up wiping everything and doing a fresh install of the ROM, v2, confirmed functional gps, restored my apps and reflashed cwm on boot and gps still worked. But my calendar wouldnt sync....did a factory reset via cwm and everything works, including my oc, cwm on boot, gps and calendar sync.

I am not really sure why the GPS has issues but i know that everytime i flashed the recovery on boot. So i kind of just stopped using it all together. I love the concept of it because that is how my old phone was. I didn't know about the removal flash of it until today. And i didn't know that there were people who were able to regain it.
Yeah its weird, not exactly logical as to why it didnt work the first time around. But I still have cwm on boot on my phone and my gps works fine.

So you are the soul I remember reading about this. Lets take this one step at a time please. First off, removing the script gave you GPS back AND returned you to normal clock speed. I would consider not using CWM on boot after a few more days with this new ROM. So far so good stability wise. How about I just overclock with Rom Toolbox if I need to? My calendar is syncing fine and the only other bugs a a few very minor turning issues in some apps like buttons. Other than that the ROM suits me. A few screenshots showing off...

No...running the cwm on boot script removed the oc....I reflashed the rom in it's stock form and gps was working again....but it's been said cwm on boot is baked in to the rom, I can't confirm or deny that but my testing is telling me it's not, but i'm no expert.
So I confirmed the status of gps after every flash of a mod to see what was causing it to malfunction but to my surprise I was able to flash all my mods and gps has not been sacrificed. Doesn't make sense to me but i'm not complaining. I have my phone all setup up nicely how I want it, gotten rid of the excessive apps and what not so as soon as this backup is done i'm gonna give the Atrix Blaze v3 ROM a shot.
Well this is not making sense. I have CWM on boot. I've had it for a while. I had it before installing RebelRom. It appears I have retained my OC. Rom Toolbox wouldn't lie, would it?

What I mean is could Rom Toolbox be giving me a false positive?

***Just to be clear, this is the EB16 Mesmerize build. It is not the EB16 Generic build. There is a difference.***
This is the Froyo Odin update for the Mesmerize to EB16. Better battery life. More stability.
It is not rooted and does not have CWM recovery pre-installed. This is not a problem as most of you will be bypassing using the build as is anyway and flashing the PnP ROM, but for those of you that want it rooted, SuperOneClick will do the trick.
For CWM recovery, put the update.zip from the package on your sdcard first.
For the Pick-n-Pack ROM, also put it and any of the Addon packs on your sdcard too.
1. Pull your phone battery
2. Start Odin
3. Click PIT and select the .pit file from the download
4. Check the PDA box, Click PDA and select the .tar.md5 file from the download
5. Plug your phone into the USB port and hold volume down
-your phone should go into download mode
6.Verify that Odin sees your phone.
-if not, try another USB port
7. Click Start
Odin should look similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When it's done click reset. Unplug your phone.
Plug it back in and push volume down again to get back into download mode.
Check the PDA box in Odin again and push PDA.
This time select the cwm_froyo.tar and click Start.
When that is done, pull the usb cable and put the battery back in. If you are not going to flash the Pick-n-Pack ROM, just reboot. If you have any problems with multiple FC's, try a factory reset. This will usually fix the problem.
If you are going to flash the Pick-n-Pack ROM, boot directly into recovery and flash update.zip to get into CWM recovery.
Flash the Pick-n-Pack and any Addon packs that you want, and then reboot.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this as well but every time I reboot my phone my sessions have expired for Facebook and twitter and I have to reenter my passwords.
I did do a recovery with Titanium backup So maybe it could have been something with that? I haven't had time to do a reset and try installing things by hand and see if I still have the same problem.

None reported thus far. I'm curious why you had to recover with TB? EB11 doesn't replace your stuff as far as I know.
Is everything working in the E16 pick-n-pack? MMS?
Just a couple things I noticed so far, MAKE SURE you follow ALL directions in order, if you flash the EB16 Mesmerize and you have FC issues, do the factory reset BEFORE PnP, it will not resolve any issues after. Also, I was having market place issues saying my phone was full. Factory reset took care of all of it, but you must do it in order. flash EB16, CW, f-reset, PnP, add-ons, then theme, I then had to do a PRL update as my phone thought I was roaming. Last thing, Puzzle lock will not port over on themes, no big deal, I am sure we have that and MUCH more to look forward to in the next few weeks, thanks guys, you rock
I followed all the directions to the T that is why I wonder if the problem was restoring from my backup.

Yeah. Just like in the EA11 and the DI14 Pick-n-Pack. It's a factory image built for the mesmerize so everything works. I just deodexed the files and rebuilt it as a flashable customizable ROM.

Use odin to flash the file, add the 2.2 CWM then flash pick and pack and addons, then do a theme. There should be no reason to have to reset anything...nor any reason to restore anything.
My power button when held down locks up my phone, I don't get any menu just vibrations. Installed evening as explained in op, also installed voodoo for ea-11, p-n-p eb-16, and the touch of color rom. Any suggestions

Did you test the power options before you installed the theme? I might suggest flashing the the PnP again and testing it. If all is well, then reflash the theme. If there is a problem we might check out the theme to see where it clashes with the ROM. bdemartino is really good with this stuff so between the two of us I think we'll be able to help you out.
More and more people keep having this problem. Your phone suddenly has tons of force closes, and becomes unfunctional. Well we seem to have a problem with our recovery, possibly causing a corrupt partition. There is a solution .......use odin to flash the stock recovery tar found in development. Boot into stock recovery.. wipe data, and cache 3 times each ,and boot the rom back up. Then use rom manager to flash the tmobile gs2 cwm recovery. This does work. And has been proven numerous times.
Here is the stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943.
If for some reason you still have this issue after following my advice. Use odin to flash the stock firmware tar found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. After your done. Let it boot. If u get the force closes. Then proceed to power off, boot into stock recovery, and then wipe your data/cache, and reboot

Excellent post... Thx
another good one Silver Thanks....im curious as well to see how many are really having this issue<<<
Is there a difference between the TMobile GS2 CWM recovery and the CWM recovery flashed using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526)?
I had the described problem, but wiping and reloading the intended ROM in CWM recovery fixed it.
That is good but alot of times that does not work. It can actually get to the point where it will not read the internal sd card
How are you guys flashing....and what are you flashing that is giving you these issues.
I have yet to experience these issues on T-Mobile or skyrocket roms.
What are the exact steps you follow when flashing a from to begin with?

yes ALOT have......they may not have known it was a known issue and solved it. but it is there.
I am not saying you guys are not having issues...there has to be a reason I am not which is why I ask.....What steps exactly do you guys use to flash a rom and what roms. The process to fix it is great but if we could prevent it in the first place wouldn't that be better????.

Silver,
Question...based on several of your other posts in threads, if we have 2.3.6 and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 to root/install recovery, are things ok?
Or should we still follow this thread to update CWM via ROM Manager?
Thanks.
^^^
That was my question too. What's the difference between the two recovery's?
I was having the issue too. I had the issue on stock(pure from store) as well as stock rooted, skyrocketeer, and cm7.
One thing I have tied it to, which I am not sure is the true reason but I was too impatient to test it thoroughly, is excessive SMS messages.
I have over 32k messages currently stored on my HTC Inspire. These have been moved from my G1, to Nexus One, to Inspire with no issue at all. When importing to my Skyrocket, the messages will import fine for a while. Afterwards, I would get random FCs, screen freezes up(can't do anything, not even turn off the screen), and network disconnects. I can force a reboot by holding the power button and it will work for about 5 minutes and then repeat the issues as before.
At first I thought it was the specific device having radio issues so I exchanged it for a new unit at Best Buy. I was still having the same issues with the new unit so I just figured I could cut my losses (on screen protectors and phone case) by just returning the until outright. I figure I will wait for the ICS update for this phone, hoping it will be more stable. Maybe at that point I can compare with other phones available as well.
I have had this problem repeating several times even after flashing the Rom and repeating steps as mentioned. I think it does it with a certain number of apps that downloaded from the market.

Is this a problem that develops as you start flashing more and more ROMs? Is there a known cause?
I'm new at this stuff - just rooted and tried my first ROM this week. I'm tempted to try others but if chances are good that I'll run into problems/issues even if I'm going about things the right way - I might hold off on making a change given that the phone is stable right now.
Thoughts?
NO rom does not cauz this issues. What causes issue is when you restore data from ur backups. Plus there is problem with cwm it does not fully wipe data because cwm was not particularly made for our phone. That being said you do not have to worry about a thing. I am flashaholic and i used to flash every other day since i m with Sky ice cream rom by Sean i don't flash a lot. Don't worry just try out all the roms you won't have problem by roms at all. There was only one rom that had problem Alien the first or second build.

Do you need to go into download mode to flash the recovery in ODIN? Or do you do it when the phone is just turned on regularly?
You have to go to dload mode in order to flash recovery. and use odin.

Thank you bro. Can I just reinstall TiBu from GP? And thanks for all your hard work..You rock..
no it wont work. i accidentally put the preload preconfg app back in wasnt paying attention coppying apps. lol it happens
but thats what causes force closes and tibu to not work
its fixed now
new link will be in op in about an hour
how do you take your screen captures? The app i normally use ShootMe takes pictures that appear to be red washed.
Never mind. Figured it out.
Good idea on the Q&A thread! Of course most people will glaze over that and post questions in the other thread, but it's a good idea.
Only problem might be that the post count will go down for the thread in the dev section if people come here instead, and you may get moved down the list onto page two--behind inferior roms...
What does the Silver Rom flashable theme consist of exactly? Is that what is in the preview pictures or does it look different?
Thank you silver

i flashed ICS3 but i cant seem to download anything no links work anywhere to download. says download starting then when i check on it says it failed. is there anything i can do?
Got collectiveics3 working
I had been having boot loop problems, and when I finally got it running the acore FC was killing me because it ground everything to a halt over and over again.
I flashed Superlite 4.5, which wiped and then ran OK but I got ambitious and flashed the UCALC5 modem and it turned into a nightmare... every touch of the screen would freeze me up for a minute or more.
I reflashed the romracer kernal and the UCALC4 modem, then reflashed collectiveics3 and that gave me a working ics, but the apex crashes were making life difficult (trying to log on to the market took me over an hour because the keyboard kept dissapearing, but I finally got there and updated Apex and TiBu and reinstalled the TiBu key... that let me restore the stuff I lost to the superlite flash... but something didn't play nice with the ROM.
Reflashed superlite, reflashed collectiveics3, re-updated Apex and TiBu, and then rloaded most of my apps from the maeket, restored data ONLY from user apps (and was picky about which ones I chose) and I can hapily say everything seems to be working properly for me...
In the interest complying with the Q&A for this thread... here's a question.
I was in a strong LTE area for a couple hours but couldn't find where to tell the phone to use it... The settings on the Rogers GB ROM are self evident... where do I find them on this one?
I am anxiously awaiting the updated link, but headed to a cottage that's off the grid and nowhere near cellular service in an hour or so, so I guess I'm in no hurry until Monday now... may as well take the pressure off so he can make it absolutely perfect.
Jamie
@Silver
Does this ROM have the option in the settings menu to turn off LTE? I think that option in your GB ROM saved me some battery life, and I would love to see it in this ROM. This ICS kernel or radio seems to really suck battery, I'm glad I have the 15 toggle to turn off data completely when I'm at work.
another Q what's the difference between the theme link on Post #4 of DEV Thread and the ROM that will be posted in OP?
Here http://www.theandroidcollective.org/i727/SilverRom/silverics.zip
Some thing i have have concluded about the ics leak. And my rom instructions
Use cwm 5.0.2.6 and only this version. It is in the dev section in a cwm recovery.tar
Works everytime for me on this cwm version
Do not use rom manager to install it. Our device is very similar to the t989 but there is something different to where the skyrockrt will always have recovery issues. Unless we get our own specific for us.

Boot back into cwm manualy and reflash the zip again. Did you wipe anything in cwm before you flashed?

i think it did. honestly this is my first time flashing my phone so im not surprised i screwed it up.
i just tried installing the zip again and it says it will fully wipe. it didnt give me an option to choose to wipe or not. how can i install it without wiping?

dont wipe anything manually. Just flash silvers ics rom. It will wipe what it needs to. Do that and if it bootloops again let us know.
Did tou ever get to the bootanimation during the first boot after flash?

ok then i did it right the first time. i didnt manually wipe anything. i just went to install zip from sd card and installed it. after it was installed it went to the bootanimation and maybe completed half of it. then it restarted and started looping and then the bootanimation would not come back. just the samsung logo looping. i ended up going back to stock so at least i got my phone working again
for this rom to work do i need to be running 4.0.3? when i tried to install it i was running 2.3.5. could that have been the problem?

You should be able to come from gingerbread no problem. Get a fresh download of the rom and try again.

Apologies for not actually being a helpful contributor to the actual problem of unlocking the Verizon Galaxy S3 bootloader, but I came across this one time after booting my phone after replacing the battery

The Samsung logo, with an icon of an unlocked padlock, and the word "Custom" (this is the very first boot screen, before the boot animation and the Galaxy S3 logo), so it's the bootloader screen.
The only way I can replicate this is by taking out the battery and replacing it. Simply rebooting the phone does not show the icon. I suppose this could have been due to one of three things:
(all as directed by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756885 for reference )
flashing the rooted boot image using Odin
installed custom Clockworkmod recovery
flashed custom boot image
Everything still boots properly, I don't have a brick. Is anyone else experiencing this that perhaps didn't follow these three steps?
A lot of people have been reporting this. Sometimes its completely random, sometimes can be replicated. Seems to be related to recovery image afaik, however some have reported being 100% bone stock and getting it. Its absolutely nothing to worry about.

I wasn't worrying about it, as I said, the phone still boots completely fine, I was wondering if it was indicative of something unusual with the bootloader (such as the impossible chance of it actually being unlocked) or if it was reported by a large number of users.
I literally just saw that on my phone for the first time about 2 hours ago..... im having major issues right now from deleting busybox i guess the "wrong way"... this is my first time posting on this site, though i have read it for years, anyones help or advice would be appreciated......
I came across this image when i would hold the power button then hit restart and that image came up.... only after i attemped to install chainfire 3D and deleting busybox...
Please help me out my brothers n sisters

Mm, if you're having issues booting, then I think that's something different. I wouldn't know exactly how to fix that.
I have it also.
- Installing VRALG1 rooted alone won't trigger it--in fact, I wipe, flash that, reboot to clear the "Custom" tripwire
- Installing NoSympathy VRALG1 deodexed triggered it for me, twice
- Installing blueui with metamorph triggered it (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30085423)
- Installing BlueICSFull.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775235) plus some other action (like configuring/using e-mail, not sure, installing some normal app) triggered it for me
Other than giving VZW an [illegal] excuse to void your warranty, I haven't seen an issue with it.
I just started getting this last night during a reboot .
My device showed this screen right out of the box!
I've seen this after a battery pulls. I'm on my 2nd GSIII and I was worried they wouldn't refund the amount to me if that showed up.
I rooted and flashed the Synergy Rom on my GSIII, as well as my fiancee's and my brothers. My phone was the only one to display this custom lock icon (randomly). I'm pretty sure it had something to do with flashing the cwm touch, then the cwm6. To fix it, I read users gained success just by wiping cache and dalvik, but it didn't work. So I tried flashing the stock recovery instead (hearing it's a recovery issue that 'throws' some sort of flag). It didn't fix the issue. I even ODIN'd back to stock, and it still didn't fix the issue. Everything I tried didn't work.
However, after I went ahead and re-rooted using the root66 method, then installing cwm touch, and then booting into recovery, wiping system, data, cache, dalvik, performing a factor data reset, and then installing the Synergy rom (I used 1.6), (ASSUMING I was just going to have to deal with the custom lock icon forever).... it somehow magically fixed itself.
Hope that helps. Ever since then, it's worked just fine, no custom lock icon. Since then, I've booted into cwm touch, wipe cache/dalvik, and have even updated to the newest Synergy (1.7), and it's remained just fine.
Hope this helps.
I froze the SysScope process. I don't get the custom padlock at boot, but because that process can no longer communicate with the phone I do have phone status as modified.

I found that I triggered it by changing cpu settings, doing a recovery or basically changing any system setting. I cured it by flashing stock recovery, wiping data and cache. Then I rooted again but didn't change anything and still no padlock.:thumbup:

I have the same problem as well. By any chance was everyone here with the problem running TWRP as their recovery?
I'm bone stock and have gotten that, from time to time during reboots since release day.
Apologies for bumping an old thread....
I never had this screen before until I bought an extended battery from Gorilla Gadgets and as soon as I started using it I started getting that screen...
I did flash the Verizon stock (with root) but even then it never showed this screen until the moment I used the battery.
Does this void the warranty?
Casual root
I just did the casual ver. 795b root last night so I could stay on 4.1.2 for right now and I have this custom and unlock pic on the Samsung screen not sheer if I should do something or not?????? help if you have any ideas

Seems like he have to root again so he probably used ODIN.
I get this and then my phone has a yellow triangle of death... I still can't figure out how to fix this as I've tried JOdin on my macbook pro with stock flash's and pit files that are corrupt apparently. Anyone else know what I can do to debrick this? I've checked the other brick posts and nothing ;\
I believe this is caused by KNOX Security being triggered - which is irreparable
I think this indicates KNOX security was triggered and therefore your phone is no longer "pure". I don't know exactly what KNOX does, but I believe it burns a fuse in your phone that locks to either a 1 or a 0 - and once it's triggered, it can't be undone.
All of this is speculation though, I suggest looking up KNOX security and see what the experts say. This happened to me a few years ago and at the time, there was no fix. I'm sure someone found a way around it by now - or at least a way to prevent or remove it completely.

Give us some more info.
What rom are you currently using?
Did you follow the directions and do a factory reset before/after flashing the rom?
What else are you flashing or doing?

CM9 with KJ6 padded modem
I followed all the instructions and now I flashed CM7 everything
work well even the wifi but I would like to have ICS thanks
Jeffsf did help you in your other post he gave you all the info needed.
That's pretty rude to say you weren't helped.
jeffsf said:
CM9 works just fine for WiFi. It is only the T-Mobile WiFi Calling feature that does not work on any ICS ROM for the SGS4G.
Changing the modem has nothing to do with the Wifi driver. It sounds like a bad flash or the way data was restored.
I'd read the Q&A thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729121 and post any unanswered questions there.

I think it is interesting that you say you have tried everything, but I don't know what everything means, because wifi works for me on every rom. So you did not try everything, you are doing one thing wrong that no one else is having a problem with.

Considering we are here on XDA, and this is a forum, we usually write text (you know... this stuff) and you have to read it. If I or any other developers for this phone took the time to make a video on how to do something that is better explained in text format, we would never get time to dev anything (and you would hear my wife constantly yelling at me while I'm making a video... I don't need to expose you to that world!).

How about instead, you do things one step at a time. At each step, write down what you did and the results. Be as detailed as you can. Use correct english, so we understand what you are saying. (you instead of u, because instead of bcoz, etc...)
When you get all done, post to this thread and we will help!

thank you i really apreciate
ok i was running CM7(which is smooth and work great, thanks to team acid) but decided to try again...and here is what i'm doing:
- i returned to stock 2.3.6 via Odin and CWM is 3.0.2.8 in Red (don't know why, but you probably do)
- to have CWM 5.0.2.8 i flashed a kernel (Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3)
- then after rebooting twice i get into cwm 5.0.2.8 and i did wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache
- then install zip from SD card...then flash "cm-9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd" (that i downloaded twice to make sure the package is good)
- reboot and flashed Gapps and reboot again and flashed the "kj6_padded_modem"
- i rebooted twice and entered cwm and did wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
after a reboot when i turn on wifi it tells me "wifi turning on" and didn't detect any signal but all other stuff work.
hope its clear than before
Tried getting closer to the router? Your wifi is accessible with other devices? You HAVE wifi?
Sorry if that sounded mean, but like Bryan said, there are no problems with wifi an any rom I have used either.

I think you might be missing a key step.
Go back to stock.
Flash basic with a twist to get the right recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache.
Wipe dalvik cache
Go to mounts "WIPE SYSTEM"
Flash rom.
Let it do is thing and reboot you into cm9.
Then reboot into recovery flash gapps.
you shouldn't need to flash the radio if you already had kj6 before, I never do. But what I like to do is repeat the wipes and fresh install of cm9 after the initial install from gb just to be on the safe side though I'm sure it's over kill, then flash the gapps. restart and let the phone settle in before I mess with it. Works for me every time.
