I've had absolutely no luck upgrading from KD1 to offiical GB.
I started off with the official KD1 (from Kies) that I have been running for months.
The only mods are root and CWM.Kies downloads the GB update (taking several minutes) then immediately comes up with the screen saying my phone could not be updated. It leaves the phone in download mode.
If I reboot I'm back to where I was.
Taking a suggestion in another thread, I cleared data and cache, and tried again.
Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd another KD1 on top of my original. Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd a KC1 on top hoping that Kies would upgrade me to official KD1 or GB. However, Kies took one look and said there was no upgrade.
I've Odin'd back to KD1, so after a lot of work I'm back to where I started.
Any ideas?

Stupid question,
Can I flash Raver's ROM directly from Bionix Frost or do I need to go back to a KD1 ROM?

First you would need gingerbread bootloaders if you have them then flash away, if not you will need to odin kg4 for the bootloaders then drhonks kernel for root then flash kj6 from cwm.

I probably will, but I also would like to find out why I can't Kies the stock GB Rom. Obviously Kies doesn't like something it sees on the phone.
There is another issue I'm fighting at the same time. Until now I didn't have a data plan and just used wifi for data. I just got a data plan and haven't been able to get the phone to use it (just voice/text). I want to put the phone into a completely stock condition to try and eliminate variables, and possibly get T-mobile to help. I also feel that what ever Kies doesn't like might be a factor with the cell data issue.
Kies is potentially bad news for your phone if you've been on a custom ROM. If it doesn't work smoothly on the first try don't try and force it. What inevitably happens is that in a sudden rush to get it to work you start flashing one ROM after another (something you wouldn't normally do) and end up issues. There have been a bunch of posts about losing recovery and download modes as people start trying to flash back to froyo from GB. A buddy of mine just jacked his phone up so bad doing this...no recovery, no download, couldn't get it to adb boot on his Linux box. I finally got it into download mode with an adb/odin circus trick, hail Mary, and odined ravers hawk.zip to clean everything up. There is no way i want to go through that again, and there is no real logic in the way we fixed it, but it all started with a bad flash from kies. To any one reading this, USE THE CWM FLASHABLE THAT RAVER MADE IN THE DEV FORUM, take advantage of their knowledge and hard work and save yourself (and your sgs4g) some heartache.

Thanks! This Odin rom worked for me. The earlier suggested recovery flash rom just got me into a booting loop.

I would use ODIN to reinstall Dr Honks KJ1. it will give you CWM and You should be OK. It might have just been a fluke on install the first time
Still no wifi "f.m.l"!!!
Everything works accept wifi reinstalled kj1 kernel frs, wiped down phone completley even used odin again to reinstall 2.3.6 official from ravers post and nothing ive done everything 2 or 3 times the sameway even tried different usb slot i used odin 1.85 i just dont get it anyone else got this problem
As ignorant as this sounds, I had the same problem once. I rebooted my wireless router & it started working again.

After flashing hellfire ICS I wasnt able to recieve any texts. I then flashed Hellfire cm7 and still same issue, also tried eaglesblood. I then tried getril, it wasnt matching but updating it didnt do anything. Now I just flashed 2.3.3 and text is working but I have no data. With every flash I wiped everything and used g2x scrubber. Also I tried using different APN...What can I do to fix this?
So, you reverted to a non 4.0.3 rom and the issue still persist, like a GB 2.3.7 rom?

yea
Yea, last night I flashed a eaglesblood over 2.3.3, this time manualy wiping and not using scrubber..and it worked, I was able to use data and recieve texts. But now it just stopped working and I am unable to recieve texts again. I have fixed permissions, cleared caches, and tried all the RIL in getril. Why would it randomly stop working??? this is so annoying
..BTW i restored only a few apps with titanium and did not restore any of the data, just apps.

Maybe try flashing a new baseband and then going into your apn list and restoring default apns.
Could possibly be a sim card problem or sim card reader hardware issue... dont wanna jump to the worst possible scenario tho..
I have the jul 15 baseband, isnt that the latest? Idk if it would be hardware since everything was good before I flashed ics .
When you flash, are you wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system before flashing?
Yea, I wipe data,cache, dalvik, then format system, then flash rom which is on root of sd card.
Is there anything else I can delete/format when installing a rom? What data is being retained that I have this issue with every rom?
update: Just flashed bionix 2.3.3 rom with stock kernel and everything is working, its like it works only when it wants to..ill try a cm7 rom again later.
you aren't the first to report the same exact thing... I'm waiting for jboxer or another dev to say something... it might have something to do with T-Mobile or your SIM... have you tried entering your number manually... have you tried without data connected or on wifi?
Didn't hear the mention of g2x scrubber always a good thing...

Something I would do would be to...
Download Rom/Gapps
Unzip to make sure it's complete and uncorrupted DL
CWM Recovery
Wipe Data/Cache/System/Davlik/BattStats
G2xScrubber (In case)
Install Rom
Install Gapps
Wipe Cache/Davlik/BattStats
Fix Permissions
Boot let it sit quick..
Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Up)
Edit: For some ICS Roms sometimes you have to enable data or toggle it on/off for it to work.
ok

The Best Solution is to do a reflash...
Flash XXKPE first then XXKPQ (or any rom of your choice)
This problem has happened to me... Found out that the firmware files got corrupted somehow... This may be due to flashing and modding of the device...
Well, its really annoying if your phone does not work... Imagine if someone's already calling you and your phone is right there, not working...
Hope that I helped...
I was running a stock backup, when I decided to try installing Tweaked 2.0 (via ODIN). That didn't work (I watched the boot animation for a long time, and I don't think it ever got up and running; maybe just rebooted over and over).
Anyway, since Tweaked 2.0 didn't work, I installed TweakStock 1.4 via ODIN, which I have done before and had success with. This also didn't work.
And yes, I wiped data, cache, and Dalvik cache when I installed these ROMs.
So, I installed Clockwork Recovery, and had it restore an update, which I have had zero problems with in the past. This time, the restore completed, but when I restarted and got into the OS, *everything* force closed immediately -- even stuff that couldn't possibly be running. After dealing with many freezes while attempting to dismiss this dialog, the radio would lose and regain connection, and I received no updates (e.g. new texts, emails), and the OS eventually became unusable.
What can I possibly do? I have tried clearing data, cache, Dalvik cache, and flashing with stock roms and modified roms, but nothing works: everything results in the situation above.
I know this seems like a duplicate thread, but none of the other threads I found addressed my specific issue, and none of the fixes worked.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
U r flash dancing between roms where one is fp1 n the other is ep4. If u flashed tweaked2.0 on a ep4 kernel its not gna work.
Cwm recovery never works so thts not a surprise.
My suggestion would be to go the post called "how to fix ur phone" flash back to stock using the .pit file. From there boot up ur phone, do the ota update to fp1. Then odin cwm n flash tweaked 2.0

I've installed imnuts' EP4 (Android 2.3) ROM, along with the PIT file, and still had these issues. I can try it again when I get home, but I'm not optimistic.
Do I need to install a kernel or modem or something independent of these ROM flashes?
Well unless the rom says it has a kernel included, it doest. Im thinkin u may have flashed a fp1 rom on an ep4 kernel or vice versa. The flashing back to stock n using the pit file should at least get u runnin on stock ep4 again. After that, if u want to stay ep4 u have to flash tweaked 1.5, or update ur kernel to stock fp1 or the pjb fp1 kernel in which case u can flash tweaked 2.0
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I've tried flashing with stock ROMs and kernels (EP4 at the last attempt, from imnuts.org), and absolutely nothing works. Assuming I get the phone to boot all the way up, once the Setup Wizard is finally displayed, I start getting tons of seemingly random Force Stop messages -- including for the Setup Wizard itself.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone? Is there something that these flashes are missing that needs to be fixed? Is it a hardware malfunction?
when u flashed in Odin, u put the ROM in the PDA slot, correct? I've messed up flashes a bunch of times and I just follow the "How to fix your phone" post and it always gets it up and running again. Maybe you have something on ur sd card that is screwin stuff up. Try flashing back to stock (with pit) without ur sd card in the phone.
cnoevl21, thank you for all your attention. I did try just booting without the SD card in now, just to see what would happen. That didn't change anything. I'll take it out completely, along with the SIM card, and reflash.
edit: Yes I used the PDA slot I'm very paranoid about it!
Use Samsung PST to flash an OTA stock (stock, not rooted or debloated or anything) and repartition with the PIT. If it keeps happening keep trying-eventually it goes away. I've had this problem several times.

I updated ICS about 2 months back and it is the worst decision I have ever made. My phone went from being blazing fast to slow as hell. I can't even text through GoSMS or play Scramble With Friends without it lagging. Is there any other solution to this other than rooting? I'm still on stock and have never rooted my phone.

Try rooting, developers tweak a ROM to same it faster and smoother. I can't recommend you a rom since I'll get crap for it so just read the guides and read what different ROMs have to offer.

Rooting is just going to complicate things for a guy with lag , and seems to be "new" or not just very techy regarding Android secrets lol
Try to flash a custom recovery , format/wipe dalvik , cache , data and reset factory defaults ... You'll LOOSE eveything on your phone so back things up before hand , but most probably this will clean the system and speed it up for you , if not , format everything in recovery and flash mohan_kr deodexed 4.0.4 UCLF6 in custom recovery ... I can safely say it's faster than ODIN flash of stock att ICS and stil stock ROM ..

If you're going to do all that, just root. A stock ROM is a stock ROM--garbage in, garbage out. At least by rooting you give yourself a more capable platform to work with. Even with the smallish dev community for Skyrocket (that seems to have just gotten one smaller), there are some really great ROMs out there that will do far more for you than a factory reset to the same stock ROM will.
I notice the lag with Gosms after the 4.0.4. I rooted, a lil better but still a lag. Sent a message to Go, said they know. Last update I did from them made it a lil better...but still lags. Sucks cause you have to type slow. Something happened in the update 4.0.4.

Instead of posting your theories look to the posts that are trying to help you and respond so we know that you really have a problem and need help not just waisting others people time..If you continue such attitude nobody will help you again...
Ungrateful noobs...
Lagging a lot of times has to do with the cache that builds up overtime. The moment you clear the cache, things are speedy again. So, as suggested, root, install CWR, and format the cache partition.
Were you on GB? Did you update through Kies? Are you running the official ATT ICS?
You could try installing an odin one click and that's gonna wipe everything I guess. And make a backup ofc first.
