Ok, I flashed something that wasn't for my sgs2 skyrocket and when I did it nothing happened, then when I rebooted it it seemed ok untill it kept freezing, no sound even on full val. I cant call because I cant here the other person and that it freezes on every app I open it takes like 2mins to open or a force close comes up. Well I have flashed back to stock using odin but still the same problem. I dont know what to do? Any thoughts about fixing this?

If you have flashed back to stock, and are still having the same issues it sounds like there may be a hardware problem. Did you do a full clean flash back to stock? (system wipe, clear the dalvik)

Why would you flash something not for the Skyrocket?
Wipe the phone completely, as in all data, the system, caches, and repeat that wipe three times in recovery, then power down. Go into download mode and restore to GB stock (yes, all the way back), then use Kies to do the ICS update and stay stock for a few days to make sure everything works after that.
If it's still not working after that, your hardware is jacked. Restore the thing back to GB, pull the cord out during the ICS update on Kies and finish the job. Hope you're still in warranty; if not, I hear you can get a used Captivate for $60 or so while you learn not to flash stuff for the wrong phone.
in stock recovery wipe caches and do a reset, if still a no go, install cwm, wipe caches and reset x3, reflash stock firmware with odin again, perform a reset, if still a no go then hw malfunction
Well someone's lazy...

You just flashed it back? You're not making any sense. Post a link to the ROM you flashed or we can't help you.
I flashed the stock rom.

Sorry if this has already been posted.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
It started freezing up and wouldnt send text messages. GO sms locked me out. I had to take the battery out and restart several times. Now i cant connect to any wifi. In wifi settings it just says error. Any ideas what could be wrong?
your best bet is probably to flash back to stock OS...i dunno if there is a one click for inspire
or you could flash a rom :]...this was probably a weird glitch that would go away with a simple full flash
Why not start with doing a factory reset?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I think he already did that, but if that doesn't work, try restoring your entire phone to stock...idk if there is a one click Odin for inspire like there is for Galaxy S models
Thats what I was thinking about doing. Will try that this weekend when I have time. Thanks!

There's a guide stickied to this section that believe has the link to the RUU, which is what you might try, though I think going the RUU route will unroot you.

Full wipe reflash should do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yep I would try wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and a clean install of the rom
Flashed CoreDroid didnt fix the problem
would flashing a new radio fix the problem?
Did you have any luck with this? Im having the same issue and debating whether or not I should flash back to stock to see if this resolves the issue. I have flashed countless ROMs since root with no luck.
My phone is doing the same thing. Not sure when it started doing it since I don't use wifi often. I wanted to check for updates and the HTC one requires WIFI be on, thats how I found out.
My phone is completely stock, with only Apps installed. Factory reset made it say something about connecting for 10 seconds or so before saying error, and now once again it just says error every time i try to enable it.
I just installed the latest Das Bamf 2.0 Beta 5 and my Thunderbolt is stuck on the dots screen (background only with notification bar on top, 0 signal bar, battery and wrong time). I cleared everything before I flashed to the rom but I am stuck. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix this?
Boot into recovery and wipe then reflash the rom or a backup. Don't fret.

I guess that I have overlooked it, probably because I am worried as hell about screwing my phone.
Probably be a dumb question because I should have seen it but, How do I boot into recovery?
Edit: Found it. When I was looking for it earlier I didn't go far enough, needed to go one more page.
Well she lives again. I also tried to flash to 2.0 beta 5 and it did the same thing again. I am not sure what the problem is, but I guess I will just enjoy a rooted TB for a little while and then flash to a ginger rom of some sort.
Did you flash the radio for bamf that is posted in the first thread of bamf?
There is a special radio you need to flash to get gingerbread working.

Will this keep it from even loading the lockscreen?
If so do I flash it before or after the rom?
Edit: I just went to the 2.0 Beta 5 thread and looked, I do believe I flashed the correct radio. I will give it a try again in the morning, it is almost 1 here so I really need to get into the bed, gotta be up at 6 in the morning for work.
Happened to me too. I just reloaded the new GB radio and the flashed the 2.0 rom. All good after that.
Haha... Yeah lack of sleep doesn't help... Give it another shot after you've had a chance to get some rest.
Some people have had issues like yours. You could try re-flashing just the ROM. If all else fails just re-flash everything like eatrice313 did. You'll get it eventually.
If you flashed the radio in the bamf 2 thread then you did the right radio. You flashed it in hboot right? Should have been named P05IMG.zip If you did that then you did it right. Flash rom, then radio.
I used the non-adb method - flash rom, batt pull, then hold power and vol down to boot into hboot then flash the P05IMG file.

After some sleep I carefully downloaded the Alpha Gingerbread radio set and flashed it through hboot and then reflashed the Bamf 2 ROM and got the same result, broken on reboot.
Sorry man... not sure whats going on. Did you try rebooting to recovery and reflashing just the ROM after it boots up and is "broken"?
Somebody with more knowledge might be able to help out, I'm still fairly new to the android scene.

I did attempt that but it didn't work out for me.
The odd thing is that I tried to flash to Gingeritus and I kept getting force until the phone would just shut down. Could these two problems be be related?

I would try REdownloading the latest Bamf Beta 5 and putting it on your sd card...then factory reset everything and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reflash Bamf. You may have gotten a bad download file.

lolzzz...yeah it happens, let us know and if anything I'll help you troubleshoot your problem.
I'm having the exact problem. Flashed the GB radio, had no service with the froyo rom, flashed BAMF GB Beta 5, boot animation plays and then phone freezes.
I just reflashed the radio and still nothing I'm about to reflash the ROM and see what happens
Did you wipe Data?
I wiped data and cahe and dalvik cache
How long did you let it sit before turning off/pulling battery/throwing at the wall? First boot can take upwards of 5 minutes.
Are you talking about the animation screen or the home screen after that? I let it set a few min at the home screen and nothing happened
Just my .02.... When I and most others made the switch from froyo to gingerbread, it wasn't an exaggeration when we say "wipe, wipe, and wipe again". I wiped everything 3 times... By that I mean factory reset 3 times, wipe dalvik 3, batt stats and all 3 times. Flashed Rom in recovery, batt pull before reboot, volume down + power to get to hboot, flash radio and reboot. I had zero reboots upon startup and haven't had a problem since. Well at least no problems that weren't directly caused by experimenting with some stuff. When the phone does boot the first time, just walk away from it and let it do its thing. The kernel needs to settle. Don't jump in and start trying to set it up too fast. Patience helps a lot in the beginning.
I used the DesignGears .exe with no issues on my phone. I then went to do it on my sister's phone and the home button did not work after booting into ICS. Here is what I did to fix it:
1. Odin back to 2.3.5 stock.
2. Root with super one click 2.3.3
3. Put phone in download mode
4. Run DesignGear's exe
Ymmv but it worked for me.

Darkside Super Wipe approach. Worked for me!
I used Darkside Super Wipe .zip, which I usually use before flashing ROMs. I heard before, that the CWM Recovery for the Skyrocket has a hardtime fully wiping some files, so I got in the habit of using this DS SuperWipe script, it wipes everything. After this all was working fine Home button, and all.
Please read the linked tread before using, I am not responsible for any problems, I am only providing my method of how I successfully Flashed ICS build to my Skyrocket, now on 4.0.3 kernel.
This will wipe everything so BACKUP FIRST!
I wiped with Darkside.super.wipe.ext4.zip
I opened the OneClick ICS.exe Odin file
Plugged Phone in, then went into download mode
hit start in Odin
After rebooting and setting up Phone I:
rebooted back into download mode
flashed SKyrocketCWMrecovery in Odin
unplugged the phone
rebooted into CWM recovery
installed SuperUser.zip
wiped Dalvike Cache
Fixed Permissions
rebooted
My next steps were to restore:
I started with restoring my internal SD card, which I saved to my PC
Downloaded Titanium Backup from the Play Store
Used Titanium Backup to restore the rest of my apps
Rebooted back into CWM recovery, maybe overkill
Wiped Dalvik Cache, maybe overkill
Fixed Permissions, maybe overkill
rebooted
Like I mentioned, the last part, about wipeing Dalvik Cache and Fixinf Permissions might be over kill. I wanted to do it all, now, and try to start clean it all worked out great for me. I started on Silvers SkyIceCream Rom with Fauxs Kernel10u and the UCLA3 radio. So as you can see I was not stock nor did I revert back to anything stock. Running the Super wipe script takes 1 minute, then just reboot into download mode, easy.
Hope this helps somebody, I only linked the Wipe file because all the other files have already been thrown around here in the last 24hr. No need for me to be redundant, or enabling.
I didn't unroot my phone. I just did factory reset of 2.3.6, flashed ICS, and everything works (home button, search, shutdown and restart)

Yeah, this does the trick fine.
do i have to go back to 2.3.5 stock first or can i just go to cwm recovery and use darkside wipe and then run ics odin?

Factory data reset worked for me. After setting everything up again plants vs zombies froze my phone up so I pulled battery. And it broke my home button again. Had to factory data reset twice to fix it.
Another problem I had was this morning my clock said 11:30 pm when it was 6am and wouldnt auto update with carrier settings. I had to manually set the time. Just wierd. So I reflashed via the original leak and still had the same problem. Anyone else?

I had a time issue until I unchecked auto set time zone, changed time zone, and rechecked time zone. So my time was accurate but not the right time zone.
I also had home button issue before and just did a factory reset and wiped cache. In fact, I had several problems after initial flash - videos would not play, everything was dog slow. At any rate, the factory reset fixed the home button, video is smooth, everything appears perfect.
Next step: Take the plunge with CM9
Hi,
I have flashed new ROM ( [ROM]SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.6.1 (8/4)(UCLF6 Base) AT&T-OFFICIAL ICS.PROJ MARGARINE, W/ G-NOW).
Phone works fine, exept that I can't shut down or restart the phone - it just freeze.
thanks

i had similar problem on previous version of sky ics. i went through the normal process of format system, clear cache, wipe davilic, but regardless of the version of sky ics, it would never shutdown/reboot. (got tired of holding down volume up/down and power to hard boot).
I ended doing ODIN back to att stock and verifying it shutdown/reboots fine.
Then i went through and installed skyics again. BAMMM it works fine afterwards...
Sounds like you had a bad install. Do a factory wipe and clean reinstall of SkyICS. If that doesn't fix it, take yourself back to stock, re-download (and check MD5s on) all files you need to install Sky, then reinstall it.
A good rule of thumb I use if a clean wipe fails, or something just doesn't feel right afterwards, is, "When in doubt, return to stock."
Thanks! problem was solved, I reflashed the stock rom then the custom one

It happens usually due to an old CWM, so if it happens again update it.
Hey everyone, I've done some searching but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I was having a problem with my CM10 installations so I decided to revert back to a stock rom and start fresh.
I used odin to flash "I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_I727UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5" (which is supposed to be the stock ICS rom for at&t) and everything goes great, but the phone now hangs on the "Rethink Possible" AT&T logo. I've let it sit for about an hour so I'm pretty certain that nothing is going to happen.
I tried doing the same thing over hoping that maybe it was a bad flash or some kind of fluke, but came back to the exact same problem.
Any suggestions here would be phenomenal! :silly:

Reboot into recovery which will be stock recovery factory reset 3x and wipe cache 3x reboot and it will come up.
Yep you guys were right that did the trick! I didn't even think of it. I meant to post this last night when I actually did it but I fell asleep.
Do you know what exactly the phone is doing (or trying to do) when this actually happens to cause it? Just out of curiosity.
Thanks again!
Only way to find out is connect a debugger. Android SDK, ddms.bat
I'm not sure exactly but I have had similar issues with getting stuck in a boot loop. Usually formating and factory reset and a fresh flash did the trick.
