[Q] Notification and status bar gone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I bought a phone from ebay SGH i727 Android version 4.0.4 Baseband version 1727UCLE2 Build Number SkY ICS 4.2E-2 Kernel Version 3.0.8 perf 1727ucle2-cl526987 [email protected]#1 smp preempt tue may 8 kst 2012 (if all this info works). It was at&t device, which is working with tmobile sim. The problem is there is NO status or notification bar.
There is no way I can receive a call on this phone. NO WAY, no green icon to slide, no home key reply - nothing.
My question are below
1. Can I simply do a factory reset, since if the phone is working on tmobile it is unlocked - right? and should work after factory reset.
2. The phone has root access by superuser and a few more apps that make me think that it may have been a software unlock to allow at&t and tmobile sim ONLY. Is that possible, and is factory reset advised in that case?

Sounds like it's running sky ics. Im pretty sure the reason the phone is unusable is due to the fact it was already factory reset.
Your best bet is to read the stickies and install a fresh rom.

Pardon me for asking a newbie question, but, if I do a factory reset does it not revert my phone back to original initial rom?

I have been reading the stickies and forum posts for almost 6 hours now. It is just that this is my first time messing up with such stuff and I wanted a clarity from someone who has done this stuff earlier.
One more question then - which ROM would you suggest?

Lol. Fair enough. It's a lot to read.. I know- ive read everything here.
I suggest a stock rom to start with. Here is the latest stock rom from Mohan

I downloaded the zip file and ran a rom updater via ROM MANAGER app, it did everything, it took a backup, ran a whole lot of activities and said that ROM is updated. Nothing, there is no status or notification bar, there is no change in the phone details from the one posted above.
I just want to be able to ANSWER my calls as of now. I hear a call sound but there is no way to pick up that call. The only way is to see a missed call notice in the wallpaper and then call back.

Don't use rom manager, use recovery.

connect the phone to your computer, put the ROM on the internal sd card, reboot into recovery (remove battery, put it back in, press and hold [power+volume up & down] til samsung logo disappears ) and flash the ROM from internal sd card

Make sure you do a factory reset, wipe system, dalvik, and cache a couple times in recovery mode before flashing a new ROM

I was just apprehensive and had read good reviews about ROM manager, so I downloaded a custom rom via it and installed the CyanogenMod Version 9.1.0-Skyrocket
As of now, status and notifications seem to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help, hmm maybe the next time I will try something via a non - interface way.
Thanks again.

By the sounds of it, you should read the stickies as suggested before flashing roms.. sounds like you used rom manager to flash the CM version? Wouldn't advise that in the future and probably lucky nothing bad happened if that is indeed how you did it.
Need any help, feel free to pm me.

Looks like your only option is to wipe and reflash whatever rom it is youre using... However, you did post this in the wrong section, and some people tend to get anal about such things...
Almost sounds like you were using an Evervolv rom [happened to me when I was on it.] But what rom are you using? I suggest doing a clean wipe and installing the latest google apps.

I don't think it does. I don't think normal wiping in recovery wipes the system folder. That's what I read once. Might not be true, but I don't see it say "WIPING SYSTEM..." in Amon RA when I tell it to format. It does data, cache, and sd .secure, I think, but not system.
Edit 1: Oh, and I'm one of those people who are anal about where you post things. Have you never been to a forum before? CLEARLY there is a questions and answers sub-form under the Supersonic main forum section.
Edit 2: I just realized who I responded to. Barnacles, I'm guessing you know better than I do since you actually helped develop the ONLY stock Gingerbread ROM for the EVO that's out right now.

Flashing Questions -

Hey guys ok i have a few questions,
First off id like to begin that i did flash my G2x (P999-DW WIND MOBILE) with NVFLASH, i installed the CWM 4.0.15? because i didnt/couldnt find an external SD card. I made a back up of my phone. Now i want to start flashing
Few Questions,
1. which of these would you say is better?
MIUI Galnet, CM7.1 Stable Build, or Axura?
I used to use axura on my captivate like 1 year ago, and it was pretty nice, never tried miui or cm 7.1.
2. Once i've downloaded the Rom, do i have to take my sim out? i remember how to flash on the captivate, which was basically take out battery, take out sim, pop in battery, and hold volume up + power to go into clockworkmod, and then click install zip from SDCARD.
3. How bad is stock camera compared to LGs camera? right now the camera is nice LG's software, but i dont think i would mind the stock camera that much really,
4. any overheating / battery drain / screen bleeding after flashing to these? i've had no problem with screen bleeding, sometimes my phone overheats (40.0C at max, 104 °F.) I've also never had any reboot, or black screen .. only once i believe for the 3 weeks i've owned this phone.)
Anyways thanks for looking and thanks for any support!

1.cm7 nightlies I'd say are the best, but of you want nice eye candy +iphone then miui is for you. If you want stock based rock solid then weapon or axura is for you.
2. No need to remove Sim card. Just flash away. I recommend cmw 5.x.x.x. Vol. Down plus power is the key combo here.
3. Not really that bad comparatively. 4. Not really unless you oc. But it may depends on your device.

hey tahahawa, thanks for your input, im really leaning towards CM7, but i have a couple of questions, does the phone freeze/blank screen? i cant have that happen please let me know any issues with gps or anything? i cant seem to find anything on cm7 please let me know
also - if i restore back to stock 2.2.2 from the back up i have made on my phone, will it restore the phone exactly to stock i.e, if i was having gps issues it would be fixed, also would it return it to stock kernel and stock baseband which is the june 05 one i believe?? and if i upgrade it will it provide a new baseband?

Black screen doesn't happen to me very often and it's only because I'm pushing the phone really hard oc/UV a lot. baseband will not be upgraded with the ROM. Neither will the baseband be backed up with the nandroid.

There is an app called dsp manager, use it to solve sound problem. remove /system/app/kineto.apk you will get a ton of fcs but reboot and everything will be fine and you won't have wifi calling.

requires a root enabled file explorer or adb. File expert is one that would work, you just need to enable root in the settings. About the texts, what phone does she have? I don't have any issues with texting, I get texts from Nokias, iPhones, other Androids etc. I have no idea what the problem is.
She has a blackberry 9780 on wind also this is tripping me out I.called her number but its actually going to My old number I don't know I have to see her phone and run tests
anyways also in settings under status it does now notice mY number? Is this a common issue?

Just enter your number manually. I also get texts from blackberries, make sure she isn't sending mms/bbm accidentally. But I wouldn't know.
Edit: if you don't mind changing roms you could try weapon g2x, a stock 2.3.3 based ROM. Everything should work on there and it has many tweaks, almost as many as cm I believe.

edit: ok i didnt know how to delete /system so i just factory reset , wiped cache, battery stats, dalvik cache - > restored again to cm 7.1 the stable one, same problem with the same number, then again wipe cache/factory reset/dalvik cache/batt stats > back to stock 2.2.2, now gonna flash weapon
edit 2: ok i figured out how to delete /system and now i flashed weapon g2x thanks so much!!! gonna test it out
edit 3: with weapon i can text my sister, system with touchwiz (which i love!!) seems alot smoother than cm7
two problems: voice search when updating it gives me "error package was not signed correctly"
and youtube wont update itself, ive tried but i get stuck on a Loading and a circle of loading .. tried on wifi and network.
thanks again! Especially tahahawa!!!

PRL Question

Hey guys,
Just want to say again how awesome this forums is. I have a Sprint Shift that I flashed 2 weeks ago with CM7 and it has been nice and stable, love it.
However, I have an issue now. It seems that my signal has gotten very poor and often switches to roaming and then back and is still worse in the same areas where I was pre-flashing and rooting.
Does rooting and flashing affect the PRL at all (I had to downgrade etc...)?
And how can I easily upgrade to the latest PRL? I am not interested in the Verizon PRL since I don't want to get kicked off for excessive roaming.
I searched some posts and the process seemed confusing and one talked of a different program that makes it easier but never went into details.
Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

Make a nandroid backup of your CM7 rom. Flash a stock sense rom like Synergy and update your prl and profile. Sometimes I do it twice just to make sure Make sure you are updated to the latest radio's both wimax and cellular radio's before you update your prl though.
When you downgrade with root it's flashing older radio's onto your device including wimax radio.
Next restore cm7 nandroid backup, hope that helps.

Thanks guys. I did read that thread but I'm not sure what a Nandroid backup is.
Is that form the boot screen from the clockwork app? It just backs everything up to the SD card?
Now when I flash to the Synergy ROM do I have to follow the same steps I did for CM7? Like clear the caches and all those steps that I followed when I installed CM7?
Lastly, how can I make sure to update to the latest radio??
Thank you so much for your help guys, I was beginning to think that Sprint started to suck and that I Would have to switch carriers.
Also, I am having trouble figuring out which radio to flash. CDMA or Wimax? Is this something that I do when I reload synergy or flash after I load CM7 again?
But mostly I don't know which version to download. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
I was using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357157

You make a nandroid backup in recovery, it's the backup option in the backup/restore menu. It will make a complete backup of your current ROM and can be restored on the same menu.
Whenever you flash a fresh ROM you need to fully wipe. Wiping cache, dalvik and data.. Optionally formatting system and data.
For the radios check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082192
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yeah basicly what crump said. Just make sure before flashing the radio's in hboot/bootloader that you wipe cache/dalvik-cache in recovery or just do a data factory wipe. When I installed the radio's it was before a lot of knew that not wiping cache and dalvik-cache could make it so your phone won't boot, so I just ended up having to pull my sdcard out in order to boot into recovery to wipe. As soon as I wiped I powered off my phone, put my sdcard back in and it booted justed just fine.
Thanks so much guys!
So I just checked the PRL on my phone and it is already the latest PRL... So it must be the older radios that are causing the issue?
So can I just flash the new radios right now with the current CM7 rom that I have?
Would I still need to clear the cache etc.. if it's possible to do it to my existing rom?
Also, do I select from Froyo-Based RUUs or Gingerbread RUUs?
Thanks again everyone
And just a heads up, you can't update prl using synergy rom, as the feature doesn't work properly...

You should be able to update with your current Rom. The most recent Radios are for CDMA: 1.08.00.0506 , and for WiMax: 27240. Just make sure you follow the instructions on the thread.
And if your still stuck while reading the instructions there is a video in the development section. Can't link you to it cause I'm on my phone

I first wiped the dalvik and cache, rebboted my phone, then shut down. and booted into hboot.
Followed the video everything went smooth, pressed power to reboot after everything got updated.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC Screen! Help, I don't know what happened or what to do, I followed all the instructions exactly! I cant use my phone!
Nevermind guys, I panicked but kept reading. Saw someone post this
"Remove ur battery then ur sdcard. Power up into recovery (hold volume down + power) wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, then reboot. After reboot, power down again insert ur sdcard and power ur phone like normal and u should be all good. Just happened to me this morning and its all good now!"
Did exactly that and it worked! Thanks soo much everyone, you guys are the best!

That's why I said both here and in the radio thread that I did a data factory reset before flashing the radios. It doesn't seem like wiping cache's always helps to avoid getting stuck on the splash screen, having to pull battery and sdcard ect.

Flashing radios will screw up your boot. Definitely need to wipe /system, and more importantly format /cache partition via advanced -> mounts and storage in CWM, as well as dalvik and reflash your rom after flashing either the Wimax or cellular radios. I've gotten stuck at the white HTC screen a billion times. Might even want to try booting up with a blank SD card or a different SD card. It seems that my SD card has some corruption because when I plug my phone in via usb or via sd card reader windows asks to scan the sd card. So I plan on formatting my SD card soon. But either way I was stuck at the white HTC screen after flashing my radio and tried everything and it didn't start booting my rom until I put in a blank SD card.
Also regarding PRLs: I'm back on PRL 60683 and off of 11115. I think I'll be staying here.

They'd only affect mobile data performance. 11115 didn't seem to be roaming on to Verizon anymore and I had issues with connectivity stability so I went back to the latest Sprint PRL (60683)

[SKY] ICS visual voicemail

okay so i tried to redo the phone with the non FAUX SKY rom and i have tried it a couple of different ways, but i have lost visual voicemail. And as stupid as this is i dont know how to take an app listed on the page and install it to the phone. So i am sorry for my ignorant questions here. I just need to know what to do exactly in my noobdom to get back to where i had kick ass sky ICS and hopefully it not eat the battery. I went to bed at 11:30pm the other night with 62% battery and when i got up at 5:30 phone was dead lol. thanks in advanced. and i dont mind starting from scratch if i have too.
Dload and install Calibration battery app.
And follow the instructions and this will help u get good battery use.
For vvm get apk and install that.

Went through titanium and installed a few apps as I did a backup originally. But visual vm and 4 other apps are backed up but don't give me the option to restore. Any suggestions?

Just flash stock rom like venom or quikwiz or tpc's rom and install this rom and this way you will have fresh start. Unless you wanna unroot and reroot again.
I would appreciate if you hit that thnx button.
Y do you wanna go stock?

I appreciate the info. I know this may be stupid, but i feel like after i screwed all this up, Im still missing things like faux clock and such, is there an easy way to go back to stock and start over with this whole rom?

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?
First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

You are the man! I got everything back, well minus stock calculator but thats not a problem. I also loaded that newish spb shell, its very nice so far, and not a single FC. I owe it all to you my friend.

Cant call, but can text

It's very strange. I can send/recieve text just fine, i can even use data. Just when I call, I can't hear anything at all even when volume it at its highest. People recieve the calls, but can't hear me. Some thing when people call me. Any I ideas?
Need more information....stock ...rooted....on custom rom if so which one? some have calling issues.

Considering that every ROM in the development section has calling working, I'd say try deleting cache and dalvik and if that doesn't work then re flash.

Well first this happened on SkyICS, but I'd just reflash modem and it'd be okay. Lately I've been on CM9/AOKP and I just now have this problem again, but re flashing the base band just messes it all up. I am on CWM 6, rooted.

i pm'd you, just try the method i gave you on flashing the radio twice, any ics radio, or the one you are on currently, and wiping the caches cant hurt

I have the same problem and it's gone unsolved. I've done absolutely everything yet it still happens. The only thing that seems to help is if you power down the phone completely, reboot, open web browser, open gapps, then try and make a call. Because if you try to make a call first thing after a rebbot, nothing, ever. This is the only method I've found that can get me the phone.apk to actually connect a call. There are days I want to smash this phone into a million pieces.
