Problem with Sky ICS - No notification bar

Hello,
I just installed Sky ICS RC7.4Speed and there is no notification bar for me? The top is just blank, doesn't even show my battery life. Anybody have this problem before and have a fix for it? I tried looking and couldn't find anybody with this problem for this rom or even this phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had this same issue with this ROM. To resolve the issue I installed the main ROM first (6.75 speed/stock) then rebooted out of CWM recovery. After allowing he phone to settle for 5 min or so I then booted back into CWM Recovery and installed the 7.4 update.
Now all is well... hope this helps.

+1...that's the only way to flash correctly according to Sean.

Don't flash the Full wipe (6.75 or 7.0speed) and the update nonwipe in the same session. INstall the Full wipe first, restart cwm let your phone settle down then restart in cwm and install the update

[Q] stuck on CWM

Guys, i hope you can help again.
im rooted, running ics by entropy, but i have this annoying issue.
Every time i go to cwm to flash something like beats audio or another modem, i cant get back to my main rom, just keeps rebooting into cwm and even if i select reboot now, just boots again into cwm.
Its annoying because every time i want to install something i have to reinstall the rom from zero.
maybe im missing an application or something.
hope you can help me out.

I too have had this happen, but only when I use adb to reboot into CWM recovery by sending an "adb reboot recovery" to get into recovery. I can make that happen every time, so when running this ICS kernel / recovery, I'm careful to only use the extended power menu or the phone buttons to get to recovery.
Once it happens, the only way to fix in this situation is to re-flash the rom.
Just curious, how are you going into recovery?

Probably related to the same bug in that particular recovery. I may flash CM9 in a little bit to see if I can reproduce that by going from the Rom Manager app. There is an option to get to recovery in the power menu. I'm almost certain that if you use that and/or the phone buttons, you won't have the same issue.
EDIT: I just flashed CM9 to test this, and I can't get the issue to happen when going to recovery from the Rom Manager app. Seems to work like it's supposed to from there. As soon as I issue an "adb reboot recovery", though, the same thing happens: the phone will only reboot to recovery from then on and has to be re-flashed to get to a rom. To be safe with this recovery, though, I'd still suggest only using the option in the power menu or the phone buttons.

YES! I HAVE THE SAME DAMN ISSUE!
Always happens. I have to Odin back to stock then reflash CM9. I don't know how it works from power button but using Rom Manager I get stuck. I "reboot system" now and it gets to Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen and right back into recovery.

Simple question....when this happens..have you tried taking battery out and wait abt 30=40 to 60 seconds then replace batt and just restart? This happened to me and i did this 2x and bam the rom booted up....fine

Did you mount the system from cwm before flashing the gapps package?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

It mounts itself

Could have sworn directions said to go to mounts and storage mount system then flash gapps

[Q] Modified e3 Recovery

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?

It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

Go back to stock with root and modded recovery then flash the new recovery

I flashed the recovery, reflashed CM9 & Google Apps and it's now working! Hopefully no more hiccups after this. Many thanks, gatoraid84!

Glad you got it working keep in mind different roms heave different recovery files switching roms can switch your recovery

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of CMW isn't compatible with either CM9 or AOKP's ICS?

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...

My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...

I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

Can you please let me know the link for the recovery file ? I could not find the link in the thread. I am also getting the same error blow.

Thanks for your help.

You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?
Look at this guide, you will find the heimdall one click linked in the OP.

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks

Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

[Q] (how to) stuck in recovery

I was adding a new rom to my phone when I accidentally hit reboot after I deleted everything off of it. Now when I try to flash stock onto it using odin it just vibrates every two seconds and doesnt do anything on the screen it's just black. Please help!!!

If your Odin flash finished successfully and that stuff is happening afterwards just pull the battery put it back in go to recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You you should be OK after that.

I tried that. It just keeps vibrating and flashes samsung. it won't let me get to the recovery to clear it all. :crying:

Does it go to download mode? I hope it does. Flash a cwm tar recovery clean up and then flash stock again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

yes it does go into download mode. can you please post a link for that so I no Im putting the right thing onto it. sorry Im a noob lol

Just reflash your stock with Odin one more time and watch it finish successfully. If reflashing didn't work read the thread for restoring to stock by vincom. Everything you need is there and don't hesitate to read more and make sure you know what you're doing. Don't check any extra options in Odin either!

I used this thread by vincom to return to stock with ODIN when I had an issue with my S2 and worked like a charm.
