Done goofed - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

So Ive been running Sky Ice Ucle e6 for a few hours. I went to try out a mod and and I downloaded it, put it on my sdcard, and installed the zip thinking that was the correct process. (I dont think it was, in retrospect...) Now, my notification bar is gone.
Any help??
(I tried to install the Circle Sky ICS with crysis....was it incompatible?)

i had this issue on the sky ics rom. it happened when i flashed the wrong radio. to fix the issue i did a clean wipe and rein-stalled the base rom then the radio again (UCLE2) and let it all boot up and settle, then i flashed the update and my notification bar was back. if worst comes to worst and you cant get it back by flashing the odin 1 click and then restart installing all roms again and it will come back.

lol yea man, i dread doing complete wipes but as long as you back everything up with titanium backup it makes restoring all your apps and putting them where you want them a little less of a *****. let me know how the reflash goes.

Finished flashing the base, I'm about to flash the update. Smooth sailing so far....
Once I flash the update, all I have to do to install the mods is to install the zip from the sd card, right??

I run the supercharger to. I make mine run even smoother by running Titanium back up and freeze all the stupid **** apps i dont use like memo and notepad and things of that sort. My high score on the antutu benchmark app was like 6606. Not mind blowing but a pretty good score. i got my skyrocket running absolutely optimal and loving every second of it

No it's not the same, it's not rooted or tampered with, and the installation method is different. If you want to completely unroot your phone go flash the stock ruu

No you will not loose those things. The first post describes how to get into bootloader after flashing the update. Only your system partition (rom) and kernel will be the official ruu images.
I just noticed there may be a problem with the name of the .zip. There is a gap in the name so you will probably have to rename it and delete the gap in order for the recovery to be able to flash it.
I will work on fixing it later on but for now renaming it won't hurt the update at all
Thanks again, you have just created my new "fall back plan"...

Yeah this is good to unroot back to the latest factory update
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
This is also good for devs to get a chance to try the stock ota if they want to mess around with it. That was the main reason for this update. Hopefully someone will help to get the bootloader unlocked for people who buy a new evo shift . But luckily this update doesn't already have the locked bootloader in it

I just flashed this, and with all my problems, it flashed, but when i reboot, i get to the sprint splash screen, and it just blinks there. So I am currently restoring back to my problematic rom. How can I get the blinking away? That's the only problem.
Are you wiping your system partition?

the updater-script wipes system, data, so that is strange.

Why? You're gonna end up in the same place either way. It's as if you got in your car to go to work and there was a detour sign... you'd take the detour right? You wouldn't just turn around and go home, that'd be silly.

Yes, very. Don't mind your brother, he's just that mad that the Shift has CM7
I'm gonna be honest, im a idiot and never did a full wipe, i just did basic wipe, Wipe dalvik cache, cashe, and data/system once and installed the rom i wanted and off i went. That was the main reason i had soooo many damn issues with roms in the past. With doing the correct way now thanks to a few guys showing me the right post, i would say either CM7(the new one 7.1.0) or Nightlies.
I normally am a sense UI lover and refused to get rid of it. but the new update on ASOP im addicted to it. i love the new ring lock system, and everything else like battery life and amazing speed with either scary or v9.

repairable or bricked?

So lastnight i was flashing my phone to cm9 from 10 because it was to buggy for me to use right now... I used the rom manager like i have before, i made a backup so i can have all my data when i go back to 10 in the future, but something went wrong during the flash and it aborted, I flashed it myself in recovery mode after that and now it just hangs on the boot menu, I have the same files I used before and they were working for a good week or so. I was still able to boot in recovery and download, so i flashed the stock firmware, both the new ics and gingerbread .tars with odin and still it hangs on the boot menu.. I try to do anything in recovery mode like delete data / format, and It also hangs with a little android dude and a blue circle spinning. Is this repairable still? If not can i reset my flash count so i can take it in to att?
Try reflashing your kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Also try re downloading the rom. Bad downloads are always the cause of my boot loops. Do u know how to check md5? If not, Google it.
Edit...
Also, to answer your specific question: I think it's prolly repairable by you, since it at least boots. Did u try pulling battery?
Search for how to reset flash counter. That info is def available. Although I don't think you'll need it if you perform a few basic troubleshoots.

Im not sure what triggered it, but after flashing my phone 3 times lastnight i gave up, it didnt fix anything .. then today I reflashed the stock kernal and then I flashed the stock firmware once again and after that, it let me finally delete data/cache and format without hanging. booted right up after I did that.
