Just an fyi, I followed your steps to the letter and it works beautifully. Now, if only you could help me by doing this for the ICS blue theme that we have. That would be great.

Your not the only one having problems with posing the ics theme via adb. I'm failing at it constantly but as soon as I figure out the best way than I will def post on it. I have however changed the moto launcher to the ics version and it did add ics ui for the ROM but I couldn't get the phone, browser, or messing icons changed, only the app drawer icon changed. I'll figure it out

Also, if you flashed the CWM on boot than evertime you boot your phone you will go straight to recovery which will help those bootloops. Keep in mind that EVERYTIME you flash a ROM you will need to reflash CWM on boot.

Another thing. The post talking about making your phone look like ics quick is just go launcher ex themed like ics with go dialer themed like ics and go messaging themed like ics. You can download all that off the market.

I just like taking ota because it seems to make my phone run better, thats why I update to 2.3.6 then root it. But your method seems flawless too.

It didn't break your GPS? I haven't flashed CWM on boot because I need my GPS and the first time I did it with supercharged, my GPS was broken. Idk if it was because I went straight to update 2 or because of the CWM mod but I don't feel like spending another 2 hours trying to find out for myself so please let me know? I'm on 5.2 w/out a problem so far

Thanks for the help, I finally got this to work. A question about the updates - while in CWM which option do I choose? Install from zip or update from sdcard? Something else?
EDIT - Nevermind, figured it out... SECOND EDIT - Holy force closes Batman! I restored my data and opened the floodgates... what's up with that? Should I have used Titanium instead of restoring from my backup with CWM?

Never restore data via cwm unless your going to stock, and only restore via titanium what you need. Try reflashing and see what happens. Also, if you flashed the updates do this....flash update 1 reboot, update 2 reboot

I flashed the updates appropriately. Just wanted all my apps, settings and contact back quickly... guess I learned better. For now I think I'll stick with the deodexed 2.3.5... looks and feels better than the Supercharged did.

Ive never personally had a problem with titanium back up, but def dont restore data via cwm. And supercharged is awesome if you follow my steps, or the op steps, to the letter.

That's not always true, it depends on what you're flashing from.....for example, I was on stock rooted 2.3.6 when I flashed RebelROM and it didn't wipe data at all so I retained everything after the flash that I had before it....except for the underwhelming ROM

Ics Rom

Hi I have ics 4.0.3 currently installed on skyrocket, and i want to flash sky ics rom. Can I flash to sky ics rom while running ics leaked rom, or do I have to stock it.

Flash away, follow the instructions

Make sure you read the instructions and several, ,if not all, of the pages of posts. I found there are several steps explained vaguely enough to give you trouble, like "wipe system" really means go to Mounts and Format /data, /sys, and /cache, which to a noobish was unclear. I never format anything without understanding it completely, so when the instruction was "wipe system", I was looking for a button in CWM with "Wipe System."
Depending on what you have and what you want, there are some differences. I pretty much followed the instructions given on the S3 Skyrocket ROM thread - wipe everything like you're a criminal trying to hide DNA, then SUPERDARKSIDE Wipe, then flash the ROM, then flash the modem 3 times, etc. But there's enough knowledge buried in the thread to steer you the right way.

I followed a video off of youtube and everything went fine EXCEPT after flashing Sky Ics 4.2E17 I reboot phone and starts up correctly BUT screen is black and buttons are lit and phone vibrates. Does anyone know why it is doing this?

Did you flash an ics radio? Don't follow videos, follow the instructions in the thread for the rom you're flashing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

This question and many others are answered in the sky ics thread.. if you don't understand the terminology used then maybe you should do more reading and learning BEFORE flashing any custom rom

Maybe he should just start over. It sounds like a borked install. Or not wiping properly.

Blackscreen after Reset

Hi guys
Sorry for the new thread. I tried to search the forums but couldnt find anything regarding my problem.
I recently flashed the Sky rom and updated it to the latest version. Before that, I used the AT&T ICS Rom and everything was nice and dandy until I noticed I cant soft reset my phone. Everytime I wanna shut down the phone or restart it, I have to pull the battery.
Reason being? The screen just goes black and stays black forever! The capacitive buttons stay lit but the screen is completely off.
If you guys could get some tips, I'd appreciate it.
Oh and also Im using the Rogers i727R
Cheers

Update your recovery, it's causing that issue.
For a short term fix to your current flash, make a nandroid and restore it immediately.

He is right, make a Nandroid and restore it. I had the same issue on my initial install of sky ics Rogers base and the restore did the trick

Update Gone Wrong

Hello - I tried to update my phone from Infuse v2.2.3 to Th3Bill JB 3.3.2 and got in an endless loop. I then tried to go into recovery mode and do a restore. Checked the MD5, Erased boot and then started restoring boot image and thats where she has been sitting for some time. I will pull batter and attempt again however I may be hosed. Any help greatly appreciated.

It is not possible, that I am aware of, to go from Froyo straight to JB. You will also not be able to restore a backup at this point due to changes made on the phone in the borked attempt. You should be able to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and after a couple of attempts re- install a Froyo rom from scratch. If you can't do that, do this.

Thanks to qkster and Entropy for this.

I had that issue as well. Only cause I like to see if I can be done. But no. What I do is go back to stock and rooted then flash a ICS ROM then make sure it boots. Then go wipe all stuff in cwm and flash jelly

Hey Pony, I was on the custom ROM Infuse v2.2.3 and not stock Froyo. I ended up doing the gtg ultimate unbrick to bring it back to stock and then did the full back to Infuse v2.2.3 and then did a nandroid restore. Everything looks good but it is acting a bit weird. Like I will try to open my applications or folders it sometimes hangs. I consistantly get it to free up by locking the phone and then unlocking it. Weird huh? Anyway I would be interested in trying to upgrade to JB but would like more instruction on that. Thanks for responding and if you can recommend anything that might help Im all ears.

See the post below - if you need more specific instructions let me know.
Thanks rkkaranrk.

Use Odin or heimdll to get stock GB Tom and then from there u can flash any rom u like just follow the instructions in the OP. You can go directly from GB to ICS but for JB u have to flash any ICS rom first and then JB.
Read the instructions on every thread.

Ice to jb with butter

I'm currently running cm9 with 4.0.4. I followed these exact steps

I did this in the past and wanted to verify my cwm was the right version. I went into cwm and it showed it was the blue and grey (6.0.1.0 or something like that) however, when I clicked the "reboot button" my phone started to do bootloops and would always wind up back at cwm main screen. The rom had no problems while running it and I still don't understand why it was bootlooping.
I was able to return to stock and then progressed to Get back to cm9 with 4.0.4 (the same way I did before) I now want to make the move to JB but am unsure if I will be able to flash due to my last experience with cwm bootlooping. I like to watch a video tutorial before I flash and found this video to go from ics to jb.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=xWBcSyj8vzU
Should I be able to follow this videos steps without bootlooping again? I have not heard of anyone else with this problem.
Thanks

It should. You might want to back up EFS. Use Zen's toolkit for that. Sometimes the IMEI get lost in the flash from ICS to JB. I like to wipe Dalvik cache, under advance, too but the wasn't in Scott's OP.
You can find link to both off the ISET page.

Practically same process as the one described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458
The video doesn't mention wiping dalvik cache and formating system.
And as psal already suggested, backup efs in case you lose imei. That would save you a trip back to stock.
