"Do not do any wiping or formating or resets before or after the flash."
-Why? I am used to using darksides wipe before flashing any roms.

QUESTION= who is the man
ANSWER= Johnsondr80

I just tried it coming from GB NexusMod 4 and just got the boot loop as well. It is a little tricky getting back into recovery - you only get about a second in the CWM menu before the phone spontaneously reboots.

Performed it fine here with zero issue.
If your cwm is acting up, may be lot more going on here.
I suggest a return to stock
Reflash cwm
Then flash this build.
Wish I could say more but UN able to see or confirm your issue.

Tmo
Hey, great base.
I have flashed this, the leak and a few other ics roms. On this rom I cannot get my phone to hook up to tmo 4g, edge works fine, but it wont jump from edge to 4g. I tried flashing a tmo radio but no dice.
The leak worked fine in that regard. Consistently connected to highest available signal.
what can I tweak in order to re-establish connection to tmo 4g.
I tried to go into mobile network settings and all of the settings there seem consistent with the stock tmo settings. But when i try to change network operator settings from automatic to manual it never gets past "searching"
Thanks for any help you might be able to lend

Also, i think this guy should credit The Collective.

[Rom][ODIN] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2

Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.

Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Refurbished G2X and Flashing ROMS

I'm currently using the newest Weapon G2X ROM on my phone...
Like many of you, this ROM is working just fine, but I get the itch to try something new.
I've tried to flash the new EaglesBlood release (1.9), and I've also tried the latest CM7 and MIUI.
I'm DEFINITELY NOT a pro at flashing ROMs, but I've done enough successful flashes to know how to do it correctly. In all of the above mentioned ROMS, my phone will freeze up on the boot screen, or I will get booted, but not even be able to sync a google account or reload apps... My phone will lock up and I'll have to battery pull.
In another thread this morning, I saw a user mention that the REFURBISHED handsets sometimes have problems with some ROMs and OC'd kernals...
Is anyone else having this problem? This kind of makes sense for me.

That should not be the case. The only difference in a refurbished handset is the model number. Other than that, and the fact is is previously used but everything reflashed to stock by LG or TMO, the ROMs should work the same as a DW model phone.

Before flashing a new ROM did you do a factory data reset, format the system partition and clear the Dalvik cache? If not you will have problems as you described. You need to wipe the phone clean between flashing different roms. If upgrading to a new version of the same rom you might get away without a wipe. But if you are changing roms the steps I mentioned above are essential or you will often get bootloops or the phone will lock up during boot.

the Best I've found if you want gingerbread style is Hellfire phoenix
or if you want ICS style is Hellfire sandwich v1.6 (which is what I am using for a while now)
the only problem that I found is the video camera but other than that everything else works fine on my G2X. they update couple times a month for the last 4 months so they are always trying to make things better for their users. if you have problems they are more than willing to try to help you with it. if you are using with a simple mobile setting it has a funny setup but it work very good (better wifi & phone signals)

My original g2x could handle oc and UV big time, anything the devs put out . My replacement can only handle kernels with stock voltage and oc is unstable anything past 1.1ghz. So to answer your question, may be a coincidence or may just be bad luck on our part. Remember, not every processor is created equal despite being the same phone. I get tempted to get an additional replacement every once in a while but laziness tells me otherwise.

Possibly cleaning and wiping everything soo good that you clean the new rom right off your sd card?? lol. just a thought. ive done that when i 1st started flashing roms. or possibly flashing gapps on roms that dont require you to?
edit: i just realized how old this post is. lol
the reason refurbs night have worse luck is because of all the people who send their phones back because of that, they make up a reason to tell Tmobile and get a nice shiny new one. The old one is reset and passes all the "official" stability tests and gets sent out again.

That is the version of cwm I have with Slim 3.4. I have had no problems with data. My only suggestion, if you want to try again, is that you flash base first then, without rebooting, flash essentials. I would also suggest that you have your preferred modem loaded on to your sd so that after you reboot, you can see if your modem will work.
This is an outstanding ROM.

I also have this version, flashed several roms, modems, did the modem dance, and not getting any phone signal, only wifi.
Would it be good to try a USB solution instead of cwmr?
I dont have any clue of how all this technical things work, I just follow instructions and then it does not work.

I love the jl3 modem personally. Make sure you have the correct APN settings first before changing anything else.

Just to add my "me too" to the discussion. I couldn't get Slim ICS to work for me as a phone - no data, no phone (I couldn't call from my home phone). I flashed a modem I knew worked for Doc's - no change. I checked the APN and activated - no change. I reinput the password in case the APN had it wrong - no change. I reflashed the whole package and tried all these again - no change.
So I reflashed Docs. As soon as the first boot concluded, my phone was telling me I had a missed call (from my home phone). Whatever the issue is for some of us, no one has come up with an answer yet. We just have to stay away from that ROM.

This seems to be happening to a lot of people flashing AOSP ROMs....this is why they warn you they are not responsible for what happens to your phone...especially with Betas.
There are many threads on this and several on how to get a workaround until someone figures out how to fix this.
Try doing a search on losing IMEI or roaming after flashing CM10...it is happening a lot...that is why I am just using rooted stock with VZW apps and TW frozen.
this problem I was having with no data or radio in CM10.
I used ODIN to go back to stock rooted (root 66).
When I did that I was boot looping in the puking rainbows 4GLTE boot animation.
I eventually figured out how to fix that by booting into recovery (press volume up, home button, and power button at the same time till phone boots). I then did a wipe data/factory reset.
My phone then booted fine into stock root.
I then proceeded to punch in *2767*3855# into my dialer immediately when I got stock root working. That did some sort of a factory reset / format. It all happened so quick I could barely read what it told me. The phone rebooted after a while.
I then downloaded EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3 app from the Play store.
I installed the custom recovery from Dhacker's CM10 post over on the droidhive forums using EZ recovery.
I also downloaded the CM10 file to flash and the Jelly Bean Google Apps file.
Rebooted into recovery, Wiped data/cache/dalvik.
Installed the CM10 file.
Installed the Jelly Bean apps.
Reboot.
Profit.
I now have a largely functional CM10 (as far as I can tell there are some camera issues). Data 3G/4G is working, so are calls and text and everything is dandy.
Did the *27 bla bla thing posted above and back to normal. Thanks everyone

[Q] [SOLVED] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.

This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Hmm. Interesting. I didn't think of trying to step up the JB versions. I'll try that and report back. Thx.

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

very odd...I guess your phone doesn't like 4.2.1.
Good luck with it, though.
Sounded like you've pin-pointed the problem to a change from the 4.1.2 to 4.2.1.
Im losing it all after i went back to stock gb 2.3.6
I changed the APN settings on my device as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526 advised. I'm running 4.2.1 AoCp and my mobile data, MMS, etc. all works fine.

Yup. Those are the settings I try to input, and the thread I try to use to do it. But it won't save.

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

This thread is exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately it's for the SII, but it's the same. The bummer is that we can't run GetRil on the infuse. I'm stuck again. At least it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this particular issue. Any help?

It's working!!! :good:
I grabbed the UVKJ6 modem, flashed it, and APNs are displayed and working.
I've tested with 4.2.2 versions of Beanstalk, Paranoid, SlimRom, PAC, and The Collective's (shout out to dman who spoiled me with Zeus).
Tried to re-download and install the JB version of my trusty UCLB3 modem, but it would not work (for me) with any of these ROMs.
I've never been so happy to have my notification bar freeze! Lol.
I'm assuming this all has something to do with the stage of development for JB? Idk.
I can't thank you enough. You really came through when I needed help. Thank you Sir.
Good to hear.
You Prolly just needed to re flash a modem.
Blscallions deserves the credit for putting those together.

I'm having the same problem as you, but my data won't work at all even after turning wifi on/off. On the pull-down menu it says that I have no service. I would love to try the modem fix, but this is all brand new to me and I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me out here?

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.
