I'm currently using SkyRocket ICS (2.3.5 Gingerbread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087
and everything is awesome but my phone signal, att logo, wifi, notifications, doesnt appear on the top of the phone so i want to try out another ROM. This one in particular, NexusMod 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426590
Do I just flash the new ROM in CWM recovery like I did to get my first ROM? Or is there more to it?
Thanks!
That's a problem on your end, that rom is flawless and you flashed it wrong
This is the guide I used to flash the ROM
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/27/install-custom-rom-at-ciq-removed-short-review-instructions/
I compared it with ones on xda and it was identical but more noob friendly which I preferred. I dont know what I couldve possibly done wrong.. I followed EVERYTHING step by step. I love everything about this ROM except this one major annoyance.

It was a bad flash or bad download. Try to redownload and check the md5, then simply reflash it making sure to follow instructions and wipe properly
Sorry, but may I ask what an md5 is? And the specific ROM I want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087
doesn't provide instructions, at least that I know of so I followed this guide
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/27/install-custom-rom-at-ciq-removed-short-review-instructions/
Only problem I can think of that I made was flashing the RC 6.75 Stock ROM and then wiping cache partition and flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate right afterwards which is exactly what the guide asked for. Was I suppose to reboot after flashing the stock RC 6.75 ROM before flashing the 7.4 Stock Nonewipeupdate?

You need to flash the base and boot it before flashing an update, like you said.
Before flashing any rom this is a general procedure
wipe data/factory reset 3x
Wipe cache 3x
wipe dalvik cache 3x
format system 3x
flash radio if need be
flash rom
reboot
dont touch phone for at least 10 mins
set up basics
if it has an update
reboot to cwm
wipe cache 3x
wipe dalvik cache 3x
flash update
reboot
Okk. ONE LAST question. The SkyRocket ICS (2.3.5 Gingerbread) ROM I'm using doesn't have or provide a radio file to DL on the page which I linked earlier. Does that imply that this particular ROM doesn't need it? Or am I suppose to find a radio to flash before flashing the ROM and update?
Thanks alot for your help/advice!! Really appreciate it!

In about phone, what does it say for baseband? Kj2 is the 2.3.5 stock radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
If the radio you're using is working and you're flashing from gb to gb, you shouldn't have to worry about the radio. You'll still have the same one. Radios flash separately from roms. I don't think you'll NEED to flash a new radio unless you change to an ICS rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version I727UCKJ2
Kernal version 2.6.35.11+
Build number Sky-ICS RC7.4 Stock
When I purchased my phone and after I rooted it, I was v2.3.5 but after I flashed my first ROM (which is my current ROM) the android version changed to v2.3.6. So if KJ2 is the stock radio for v2.3.5 is there a possibility my problem of not having the att logo and wifi signal on the top of my phone due to not having the correct radio for this ROM? or for v2.3.6 in general? Or is it from what you said earlier, my flashing process was wrong? Or a mixture or not having the correct radio and flashing wrong?

Well, I don't really know whether or not the radio is working. I suppose in my case it is working since I am able to recieve and make calls, text, and go on the web. However, I am unable to see the att logo, wifi/cell signal on the top of my phone. I don't know if this problem has anything to do with the radio though. Sorry for my lack of understanding..
I'm assuming the problem is more my fault in terms of not flashing correctly. I have no idea whether or not I need a separate radio for this ROM.
Sounds like a systemui /frame work problem
Wipe data/cache/dalvik
Reflash
Fully boot
Shutdown
Flash update
Wipe dalvik
Reboot.
The signals at the top wouldn't be affected by he radio. You would most likely get them back if you reflashed your from or flashed another. As long as it's a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. And also follow the instructions (usually pretty standard, wipe data factory reset a few times, wipe cache partition, advanced, wipe dalvik cache a few times, go back, mounts and storage, format system a few times. Then install zip from SD card) oh and always backup first and make sure you can restore the backup. But yeah if you can make calls and use internet, your radio should be OK.

Not sure the deal with your cell/wifi signals not showing in your status bar, but, the carrier logo could have been removed in the ROM itself.
I would try out the nexusmod zero ics I'm running it now and I like it a lot more than nexus 4. Also when I went from the from you are on now I had to do a super wipe before I could get the ics rom to work without bootloop

All AOSP or CM ROMs are bootlooping. It gets to a certain stage in the boot animation, and then freezes for about 20-25 secs, then reboots and does the whole process again.
This only happens on AOSP or CM based ROMs. Doesn't happen on Sense based ROMs.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? I'm going to pull a logcat as soon as I can.
Thanks,
Phil

So what firmware would I need for AOSP/CM based ROMs?
Steps to install rom properly after rooting and installing clockworkmod recovery.
For Gingerbread roms, 1.17 or 3.12, if you haven't touched the firmware, yours is 1.17.
For ICS roms, flash either 3.12 or 3.24. 3.12 is backwards compatible with GB roms, but 3.24 offers better performance.
Once you have the right firmware, put the rom onto your SD card and reboot into the recovery. There's an option to wipe data and factory reset, usually called "Wipe data/factory reset". Run that once, then install the rom from the zip that you copied earlier and that's about it. If you install anything cyanogen, make sure you flash Google Apps to get the market.
Roms should only take about 2 to 3 minutes to boot for the first time.
Possible issue you're having: Wrong firmware for the rom or you didn't wipe data before installing.

I do a superwipe and data wipe before installing, so it can't be that.

MAKE SURE MAKE SURE MAKE SURE your MD5s match. Flashing a firmware can brick your phone extremely easily so make sure your md5s match and that you have sufficient battery life left.
Also you will not be able to go back into bootloader without it asking if you want to flash the firmware if its still on your sd. If it asks you can say no but it will just reboot you into your system so if you have no system to boot into youll be stuck and will have to pull your sd card out and then reinsert it when in recovery.
It worked! Thanks guys, I owe you one
i looked through the forum and didn't find this exact question so i'm sorry if it's been posted before.
basically what i'm wondering is if i have a ROM installed, let's just say one of the new ICS ones, and a new release of that ROM comes out, is there a way to upgrade to the newer version without having to install all my apps and stuff again through titanium backup? i hope that makes sense. in other words, is installing a new version of a ROM that you are already using going to be the same process as flashing a new ROM entirely? that could get annoying with newer versions of ICS seemingly coming out twice a week.
thanks in advance!
It's recommended to wipe and reflash, but I just flash over top and if there's problems I resort to wiping. Clear cache and dalvik and just flash over top, your apps will still be there. But if you do it this way, you should not report any problems
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Probably could have used search to find this. But typically, unless the dev say to full wipe, when an update comes out for the rom you are using you can flash the update over the older version without a full wipe. You are still required to clear cache/dalvik to do this. If anything that was working before does not work anymore after you have flashed the update over the older version, then you should go back and do a full wipe and flash the new version. I personally always full wipe when flashing a newer version.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
It all depends on the ROM and what is updated. Seriously you have to go by what the DEV says in his thread. Some you can update without wiping and some you have to wipe. Others will automatically wipe for you. Best advice is to read the DEV's thread. They should all give you this info. And if you looked over the first few posts of his thread you really wouldn't be asking this question here.
Some mods have the cache/dalvik wipe built in, so just make sure you read through the thread for whatever mod you're trying. Wiping it twice won't hurt, but just wastes a little time.

really? man. I'll make this very simple for you.
1. put rom on root of sdcard
2. boot into recovery
3. wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
4. install from sdcard the zip file
5. reboot.
almost all ROMs except for the PD98IMG.zip stock ROMs are flashed with the above method. Not all ROMs require a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cahce) when upgrading within the same ROM but it is recommended to do so to avoid any issues. If you're switching between different ROMs, it is required to do a full wipe. Search my good man.
Hello all,
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and i am currently on I727UCLF6 stock firmware I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_ATT, my question
Is it OK to Falsh CM9 on top of Stock I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_ATT?
If yes should i flash the nightly cm-9-20120721-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip or cm-9.0.0-RC2-skyrocket.zip is better?
Thank you
Have you done any of that reading we suggested you do? Flashing CM9 on top of stock without wiping the cache and Dalvik and doing a factory wipe will turn your phone into a brick, which you seem to be intent on doing. Seriously, if you have to ask a question like, "Can I flash a new ROM on top of my existing stock?", you're not ready to flash ROMs.
Read, learn and understand before doing, or you will brick, and you will find little sympathy here.

After the nightmare i had before when i lost my signal, MAN i did a lot of reading!!!1
I have successfully flashed my phone to cm-9.0.0-RC2-skyrocket.zip but before that i did some wiping as the following:
1- Wipe data/factory reset (Three times)
2- Wipe cache partition (Three times)
3- from mount & storage, format system (Three times)
4-Wipe Dalvik cache (Three times)
All the wiping really isn't necessary. Flash the rom, then modems if needed, then one factory reset and reboot. That's it.

Probably the UVLE1 modems from the T989 ics release.
or you could just follow the instructions the dev almost always posts along with the rom...
anyway, if the dev does not post instructions for some reason then just default to:
1) make a nandroid
2) wipe data/factory reset
3) wipe cache
4) wipe dalvik cache
5) flash rom and gapps if necessary
6) reboot
you obviously still do not understand what it means to flash roms, so until you do, just follow the directions EXACTLY as the dev posts them.
also, i would not recommend flashing a new rom before wiping then wiping afterward, sounds like a pretty dirty install

Okay...So I'm having boot loop issues ever since I tried to flash Vincom's Superlite rom. Before attempting to switch to a different rom I had a a older version of CWM, not sure what it was....But I was under the impression I needed CWM touch to be able to use the Superlite rom. So I flashed sk8's CWM touch using a older CWM...With touch, I flashed the Dark Side Super Wipe 3x's and also did the wiped dalvek 3x's.....After all the wiping I flashed the superlite rom....my previous rom was CM10, by the way.....i got stuck in bootloop so I tried the darkside-wipe-cache, because that solved all my bootloop issues with the CM 9 and CM 10.......I tried to revert back to CM 10 via flash and got stuck in a boot loop....I tried multiple times to reflash and wipe with both superlite and CM 10...I couldnt get anything...So I gave up and flashed to stock firmware UCL6 via CWM Touch.....My phone is functional I just dont want this stock "rom"...I want to be able to use CM 10 again because the t-mobile radios dont work with the stock....Im thinking its the CWM....I tried using different kernels as well...and i still get a boot loop......

Bump? Anybody?
Manually do the following wipes: wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik, format/data, format/system, format/cache all x3. Then reflash his ROM followed by gapps. Let it sit for 10 min as caches need time to settle and the initial boot always takes much longer.

Nope. Just wipe dalvik and cache and flash it. But it's likely to be an exercise in folly anyway, because it you have uclf5 and you flash uclf6, you still have the uclf5 libs. Changing the radio libs is a much more complicated procedure and without doing so you get limited benefit from flashing a new radio. But sometimes it does help anyway. Might be worth a try if you're getting poor connectivity.

No need to do a whole clean install simply to switch out the radio. I 95% positive you only need to wipe cache, dalvik, flash radio and reboot. I only changed radio once and it was during a clean install so I never really paid that close attention to the steps when you put it over the top of your ROM. Do what I said and you should be fine.
Or grab the torch and pitchfork. Jk there's nothing to worry about

Hey Mike,
I've been bootlooping as well. A little background...
I'm on CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 _sk8erwitskil_
I was on cm-10-20120812-EXPERIMENTAL-syyrocket-alpha3
Yesterday, I went to cm-10-20120912-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket
I was ok until just a little bit ago I was on a call and the phone rebooted. Since then, bootloop-city.
I tried this procedure, reflashed 0912 and no joy. I think, at this point, the unreliability of CM10 (at this time) has worn thin (no dis to all the awesome developers out there) and I just want to go back to a stable CM9.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob
EDIT: Ya know, just when you think all is lost, there is Nandroid! I'm back to CM9 and no longer bootlooping!
I'll try to remember the steps of what happened as best I can.
T989 All Stock Running Gingerbread (Not sure what Firmware)
1)Installed CWM via ODIN
2)nstalled SuperUser via CWM
3)Installed latest AOKP from here http://aokp.co/devices/hercules
Booted up just fine but two problems
1: No Service
2: Touch screen calibration was WAY OFF
BYAM DURP OOPS
Realized that I needed to get the latest Firmware before flashing the latest AOKP!
4)Full Wipe(I think?)
5)Install latest Firmware (T989UVMC6, right?) (Also did a factory reset/wipe)
Phone boots into Stock with latest firmware, however the touch screen is still calibrated way off!
Do steps 1-3 above again.
Touch screen calibration is still way off!
My only guess on the reason/fix for this is that maybe this is still some lingering problem of flashing the ROM on the outdated firmware, so I need to perform some sort of deeper wipe than just a Full Wipe via ClockWorkMod in order to get rid of any lingering problems. And then flash the latest firmware, and do steps 1-3 above.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Any other information needed?
Thanks in advance!

I've done wipes like this
Via CWM I do the Factory Reset/Full wipe, then cache and dalvik cache.
Is there a way to more deeply wipe?
I saw in some other places that you can mount some locations and also wipe those too, I assume maybe doing that will result in a "fuller" wipe and also wipe the firmware too?
Care to explain exactly how I should be wiping?
Also after doing the wipe, do I just flash latest firmware, install CWM/root, and then a ROM?
Thanks

First,
Go to CWM
and go to mounts&stroage
then format everything except /sdcard
.
.
then flash latest Firmware.
then do whatever u like
like root,cwm or flash custom rom

However (I've seen other people report that problem but haven't seen a fix) when the phone is plugged in, it works just fine, but whenever it is unplugged the touch screen very unusable due to being calibrated so wrong. :/ After wiping and formatting everything and flashing a stock Firmware I'm all out of hope now!

My Oukitel's k4000 Touch Screen Calibration Messed Up After Flashing ROM on Wrong ROM
Hello,
Please help me. I tried to see if a ROM for 'Oukitel k4000 pro' could fit 'Oukitel k4000'.
Since it didn't work out, I flashed back to the original ROM of 'Oukitel k4000', but since then, my screen behaves wrongly to touches.
Could anyone faced and managed to beat this issue?
I saw several different posts on the net, but none of them actually helped me.
One more thing:
Please try to explain, as if you explaining a child, since my android experience is not that vast to follow all the shortcuts and proffecional terms.
Thank you,
Michael
