i727 w/ICS 4.0.3 freezes when shutting down..?

I just updated 4.0.3 tonite, rooted, installed titanium backup, and started one by one installing my backups. I don't have anything crazy yet...angry birds, facebook, etc...(other than a couple of apps I needed like lucky patcher, busybox..etc.)
Anyway when I restart or shut down the phone, it gets stuck at the "Shutting down" screen...with no reboot.
Any suggestions or ideas before I resort to reflashing?

Known issue/bug. You can shutdown by holding the power button for 12 seconds, or install the 14 toggle mod to shutdown and reboot.

Wow awesome...the 12 second thing works fine. I was worried there for a minute, I really appreciate it!
Does it matter which mod to use? I see there's a few...

Fix for shutdown/reboot lockups
Install the updated Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
Then install your ROM as usual and the shutdown/reboots should work!

hmm...it's about 50/50 on ppl with issues...not sure about that..
Question though...is it safe to flash this cwm over the one I currently have?
..and once I do, I shouldn't have to reflash the rom right?

Yea i had problems with 5.8.1.3. Unresponsive.
Yes you can flash recovery over each other in odin . Im using 5.5.0.4 cwm touch and its working fine. Able to do nandroid and fix permissions. This recovery is actually flashed in cwm.
No you do not need to reflash your ROM.

This question has been beat to death. Try searching instead of making a pointless, and inappropriately placed, thread.

Are you on the odin one click leak? This is the only "version" that i didn't have any issues with shutdown.

Have you done any mods since, meaning no other flashes of other ics Roms after or in between. My problems all started after i flashed the cwm nandroid backup in another thread. The issues followed me until i did a darkside wipe then did the odin one click and all my issues went away. Im staying here for a while. Did my nandroid backup of this to always revert to.

This is one of the known problems that sometimes occurs with the ICS leak and most things based on it. The problem is people that think they have the "know all" answer for a fix because something they did worked for them. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it will work for averyone! So it's ok to say "well, this is what worked for me...", but it IS NOT ok to tell others that it is an overall fix or that they did something wrong because it didn't work for them like it did you.
What I have found is that everytime you flash the ICS leak (or related) you might get different results, so if you really are interested in trying to get everything working, just keep flashing until it does. It might take several tries, but keep trying. This seems to be the case for many people, but I cannot promise it will work for you.

I experienced similar results, first flash was lagged to insanity. however second flash fixed this and restored the home button funtion.

The only other thing i did after the first flash was a factory reset, which in my case fixed the home button issue. Not sure if it was freezing prior to that. I may try the cache thing but its not a burdensome enough issue to reflash again. too many workarounds to redo everything again..
Didn't realize this was so common when i posted this thread..thought it was random. Now if only someone could delete it...

Same here, though I haven't tried them all, I just went back to stock, manual debloat and a couple other mods and it's good enough for me, at least until we get real CM9 or AOSP roms.
I'm really not the type to wipe my phone and flash a new ROM twice a week. I'd rather just have something that's stable and functional, and only upgrade for big stuff.

I didnt have the shutdown problem the first time I installed the original ics leak install.
But I did after I restored a backup of it.

Aosp rom data issue

I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?

Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

Well I tried the airplane toggle and it doesn't bring it back, anyone wit suggestions please let me know, I really want to be able to run Pa 2.20, but if I can't switch to phablet or another ui its kinda useless.

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

It has worked for me on 2 GS3's. I was on stock TW though, I don't know if that'll make a difference.. it has something to do with updating your PRL or something like that, I can't really remember exactly what it updates. But it did work for me, it actually gave me better service.

Yes it has the other day after flashing liquid I was only getting 4g did that and it worked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Ok cool ill give it a shot. I'm really hoping that it works. Because some of these pa builds are really nice, and I'd probably use liquid rc5 as a daily if I could reboot my phone and have a data come to back.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Hey man thanks. That actually worked, I'm not sure if my service is better but it came back after I shut down and did that procedure. I appreciate the help. I might actually be able to run one of those pa. Builds now.

i tried the same method as well too, but it didnt work for me. i dont know whats wrong, i think its just my phone because when i flash any AOSP rom, it doesnt connect to data after reboot. i do 3x wipes and what not but still nothing, my IMEI and phone number is all there so i dont know what it is. anyone have a idea??

The liquidsmooth rom never booted after install

After install of the LS rom, the farthest it got on boot up, was the "Liquid smooth" Logo screen. I went back and reloaded 4.1.1. What could I have done wrong

If there would be a reset involved , I guess I'd wait for a rom that don't have to reset. It' so time comsuming to bring the phone back to where you were. Not so much the loss of picture sor music , it's more of the emails and contact merging.
Unless you really feel it's worth it then I'll consider
Thanks

sorry to hear that about ur device but wouldnt it help u better to ask that question on that roms page,i understand ur problem but i dont use liquid, so best advice i can give is to get ur phone into recovery mode and use a different rom and before u add the rom wipe ur cache

4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. Expect little hiccups when you flash them. OK took me a few times of flashing before it worked for me.

gmail should automatically sync contacts and emails unpon phone set up. (cant take more then 5 minutes)
also look into titanium backup for individual app data.
wiping data and factory reset is a MUST for installing new ROMs.
if you think you "dont have the time for it", then i highly recommend you stay on your rom and read comments from others using the rom to see if it is worth the reset or you could just give up and go buy an iphone.

Honestly, I just had to say this is absolutely not true in all circumstances. Yes you should do so 8/10 times, but I can say personally that I've flashed over another ROM many times with no issues. Granted usually it was a new build of the same ROM and never going from say 4.0>4.1.2 or 4.1.2>4.2
Best of luck, I had some serious issues with Liquidsmooth (via a clean install) so I dumped it but hopefully it works out for you.

Ok, I'll resolve to fact that the LS Rom is in development and I should wait for a true version down the road. . Due to the situation I went back to the stock Rom and re-routed the phone. Since then, any Google search or Nav search, I get a Google error that Google has stopped working. I'll get the alert but the program will still work
Any ideas on what could of happened? Before the LS install, I had the recent stock Rom ( 4.1.1- I535VRBLK3) and was routed with no errors
Also, has anyone seen a tether app that works with JB. It seems that none of the tether apps work. I've noticed that on web searches of other forums and from the comments from users of the GNU.org program
Thanks for any help

Yeah.. So when is it okay and not okay to wipe? Between updates on the same ROM sure...
But I feel like your just gambling another 30 minutes of seeing or not a wipe is needed.

Help with ICS port P920

Hey community im in a bit of pickle and need some help on how to get out of it. I have a P920 which i have flashed with XBSA's ICS port. All went fine, i have then rooted the phone and installed TWRP recovery on to it. So far so good but heres where the problems begin. I have installed the several different custom ROMS available for ICS but i have a battery issue with all of them. The battery has juice left in it but after 5 mins or so of using the phone the battery drops to 1% then switches off. Thats the first issue, the 2nd issue is that im not able to change the clock widget on the lockscreen. Even though i change it in the settings when i lock the screen its still the same widget on there (London time and Seoul time widget). Help please if anybody can

Did u try wiping battery stats

No i haven't tried that, is that done through TWRP? Im having issues with downloading apps from the play store as well, i can log in but it doesnt let me download anything, keeps giving me an error plus im getting no network signal in areas where i used to have full signal when i was on gingerbread. Might have to downgrade to gingerbread again at this rate

OK the signal is only a baseband problem and yes wiping is done through recovery

Nexus S button problems

For some reason after i installed the ROM Paranoid Android for my Nexus S and replaced it with Cyanogenmod 10.1, all the hardware buttons stopped working! I do no however that they are not dead because i can still use them in my recovery and in other places, just not on Cyanogenmod. Here is something even more strange, sometimes when the OS starts up the buttons kind of work for a couple of seconds. However, they slow down the OS a huge amount to where i think it froze. But then after some seconds i get taken to the lock screen, and the buttons don't work again. Any help is much appreciated!

Dalvik, cache and data.. On twrp.. Everything except sd... is a full wipe/clean.. Go back to stock using Nexus root tool kit and start over, remember to flash in your recovery again as it will erase it.. Your sd should be fine.. BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST (apps/other will be lost)

I'll get back to you if it works or not. Thanks!
