After flashing hellfire ICS I wasnt able to recieve any texts. I then flashed Hellfire cm7 and still same issue, also tried eaglesblood. I then tried getril, it wasnt matching but updating it didnt do anything. Now I just flashed 2.3.3 and text is working but I have no data. With every flash I wiped everything and used g2x scrubber. Also I tried using different APN...What can I do to fix this?
So, you reverted to a non 4.0.3 rom and the issue still persist, like a GB 2.3.7 rom?

yea
Yea, last night I flashed a eaglesblood over 2.3.3, this time manualy wiping and not using scrubber..and it worked, I was able to use data and recieve texts. But now it just stopped working and I am unable to recieve texts again. I have fixed permissions, cleared caches, and tried all the RIL in getril. Why would it randomly stop working??? this is so annoying
..BTW i restored only a few apps with titanium and did not restore any of the data, just apps.

Maybe try flashing a new baseband and then going into your apn list and restoring default apns.
Could possibly be a sim card problem or sim card reader hardware issue... dont wanna jump to the worst possible scenario tho..
I have the jul 15 baseband, isnt that the latest? Idk if it would be hardware since everything was good before I flashed ics .
When you flash, are you wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system before flashing?
Yea, I wipe data,cache, dalvik, then format system, then flash rom which is on root of sd card.
Is there anything else I can delete/format when installing a rom? What data is being retained that I have this issue with every rom?
update: Just flashed bionix 2.3.3 rom with stock kernel and everything is working, its like it works only when it wants to..ill try a cm7 rom again later.
you aren't the first to report the same exact thing... I'm waiting for jboxer or another dev to say something... it might have something to do with T-Mobile or your SIM... have you tried entering your number manually... have you tried without data connected or on wifi?
Didn't hear the mention of g2x scrubber always a good thing...

Something I would do would be to...
Download Rom/Gapps
Unzip to make sure it's complete and uncorrupted DL
CWM Recovery
Wipe Data/Cache/System/Davlik/BattStats
G2xScrubber (In case)
Install Rom
Install Gapps
Wipe Cache/Davlik/BattStats
Fix Permissions
Boot let it sit quick..
Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Up)
Edit: For some ICS Roms sometimes you have to enable data or toggle it on/off for it to work.
ok

I did the above process , installed eaglesblood and trinity elp kernel and it wouldnt boot. Tried it again with t15 kernel and everything seems to be working.My phone number under call settings is correct...I hope it doesnt just randomly stop working like before.
Update:....cant download anything from market, keeps giving me errors. wth lol
your phone is possessed... simple as that I guess lol.

this was a replacement from tmobile, my old one was perfect but i broke the headphone jack.
....its working now.Dont ask me how. All is well in the cosmos.Thanks
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.

Find the stock .tar file in root/unroot development section (unbricking)...just flash it using odin 1.85 and go from there.

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
So I left Apple, came to Android, rooted my VZW GS3. First time I've ever done anything like this, so I'm new to it. I backed up EVERYTHING using TiBu, did the IMEI backup, Full system/image backup using CWM, unlocked bootloader, etc. Then I flashed to Synergy r46 (august 20th - yesterday's release).
Now I'm at work and my back-up pulled my contacts via Verizon's server, but how do I get back EVERYTHING else? SMS/MMS logs, call logs, apps, app data, etc? Do I need to download TiBu again (fresh from google market) and then load my backups off my Ext-SD card, or what? I guess I'm a bit confused as to where my TiBu items were even stored/saved...I assume it was the ExtSD card, otherwise I would have lost them all upon flashing to Synergy, correct?
Any help to get all my apps and data back on my newly Synergized phone would be awesome!!!! Thanks in advance!!!
Yes download titanium and then point it to the directory you had your back ups saved to (its sd card by default, and which is your phone storage btw) then tab to backup/restore click the check, then once your app data populates, and select run next to restore apps and data.

I used titanuium backup pro to back up all my Apps and system data. And when I flash a new rom I just redownload titanium pro and it automatically restores all my Apps and system data. It is the easiest app I have used. So to answer ur question.....back up ur apps with titanium then after flashing a new rom go and redownload titanium and restore your system data and apps or just apps alone if that's what u prefer? Does that answer ur question or would u like more detailed instructions?

Another very nice feature of Titanium Backup is its ability to pull data from CWM nandroids. There have been a few times where I was quick to flash a new rom without doing a backup of my apps. This has saved me much time from having to re-flash the nandroid backup, backup via TB, then re-flash to the new rom.

This is one thing that scares me...I don't quite understand what's being wiped or how to perform a full wipe. I hope I don't do this on accident on day...When I flashed the ROM, I basically booted into CWM recovery and installed from there....I was unable to install by opening the ROMs ZIP file via ROM Manager. When I tried to install this way, it failed.
Can somebody confirm if I flashed correctly, just to put my worries to rest? Here's how I did it...
I backed everything up, unlocked bootloader, and tried to install Synergy r46 via ROM manager, but I had problem. I had the ZIP for the ROM downloaded to my Ext-SD card, like the installation instructions say. I then opened ROM Manager and went to "install ROM from SD card." The phone rebooted and opened in CWM to install...But kept having problems finding some "path" or something.
So I decide to wing it and rebooted into CWM. I cleared davik cache(sp?), then user data, then navigated to my Ext-SD and selected the ROM ZIP to install. Now, everything seems fine and it says it installed successfully, but I still think I installed in a way that wasn't described.
Is this a legit install and is this how most people flash ROMs, from booting directly into CWM, or should ROM manager have worked for me via "install ROM from SD card???" If so, why didn't ROM Manager work for me?
Rather urgent question: When I restore my items, do I want to click "RESTORE MISSING APPS + ALL SYSTEM DATA?" ill this restore the bloatware that was on my phone prior to flashing????? If so, is there any way around it
Thanks a bunch! Just waiting on an answer to the later questions before I restore.

I am wondering if you didn't do the full wipe. If you are using CWM v6.0.1.0 then there is no option labeled "user data" it is "wipe data/factory reset" which is the full wipe like I mentioned.
As far as doing it correctly, as you may have already noticed there is more than one way to do about anything. Personally, I still use CWM v6.0.1.0 and flash the zips there.
P.S. I see you are enjoying your freedom of losing your apples!
Also, tell me how your r46 is working ... I have held off at r23 while they are playing around with kernels and ramdisk tweaks for awhile.
Hi, I'm pretty much in the same boat as the OP coming from an iphone and this is my first android phone. My problem is that all of the synergy roms (r39, 46, 50 and 1.7) I tried were unstable and kept rebooting randomly. I unlocked the boot loader and believe I did everything right. Did I miss a step? I restored back my nandroid after several attempts at Synergy. I like the responsiveness and tweaks of Synergy but I couldn't deal with the random reboots. Sometimes it would just continue in a boot loop too.

I'm fairly certain I did "wipe data/factory reset," I just wasn't sure how it was labeled when I typed that out, but that's really ringing a bell. I think I may have gotten the errors before (using ROM Manager) because I hadn't factory reset? Seems to me I'm good to go! However, my question regarding TiBu still remains.
Edit: In regards to informing you about r46, I'm not sure what to report as I've never used a previous Synergy and have no idea how to compare, other than to the rooted stock ROM. I have heard reports of battery life being worse than the stock ROM, and I can confirm this. I've barely used the phone since I flashed to Synergy and it's dropped 15% battery life in ~3 hours. Seems faster than before but I'm unsure.

I started getting that sort of behavior so I just restored back to my stock rooted backup and reflashed Synergy 1.7 r23 and then reflashed the theme I'm using. I thought my issues came from other modifications I had tried so I will try to remember to report back to this post tomorrow and tell you if I'm still having those similar issues or if I'm stable again.

Was 1.7 r23 supposed to be a really stable release? I read through some of the Synergy thread and didn't see anyone having the issues I had. I felt like I was doing something wrong.

I have never had a hot boot or boot loop using any version of synergy. I've been running it since 1.3 and flashed last night's rom as well. What method of unlock did you use for the bootloader unlock? Did you see the custom kernel loaded into phone settings?

I used the EZ-unlock app in the play store. I did see that a custom kernel was loaded however when i flashed back to my nandroid (stock rooted) I am back on the orignal kernel. Would the way I rooted have an effect on the reboots? I used the non flash method by Noxious Ninja.

I agree I have yet to have Synergy boot loop although I'm still on 1.7. I would try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and see if that helps or you could be over clocking to high.

I don't know the answer to that specifically. All I know was that I was stable before another modification I made (that said it wouldn't work but I tried it anyway). Since restoring from backup and reloading Synergy and theme I have not seen any weird rebooting anymore.

I'm not familiar with that method. I've only used Odin, even when I did have to redo everything I used Odin to stock de-bloated rooted .md5 then CWM'd from there.
So I'm giving it another shot on r50. I made sure to clear dalvik, cache and data. After flashing It gave me the reboot problems again. I installed system tuner to change the cpu back to 1.5. Maybe it's from the overclock but we'll see how it goes. Is everyone leaving it overclocked on 1.9 not having issues?

That may very well be the issue. 1.9ghz is a very aggressive overclock, and i wouldn't be surprised if was unstable on a good number of phones. Synergy's supposed to boot at 1.5ghz max by default - I don't know whether that was successfully implemented. I personally think it's silly to OC such a capable phone, anyway. Back in the days of the Droid 1, an overclock from the stock 550mhz to 800mhz-900mhz was an enormous improvement. Today, the only thing OCing the S3 gets you is a <10% improvement in Quadrant, more heat, possible instability, and no perceptible difference outside of those silly synthetic benchmarks.
Anyway, in this thread, there seems to be a fair bit of confusion as far as what's what in the android partitions. I'll give you a short rundown.
"aboot" is what's referred to here as the bootloader. It checks to see whether the next partition in the boot sequence, "boot", is authorized. When you unlocked your bootloader, you overwrote aboot with a version that does not perform that check.
"boot" contains your kernel. If your ROM has a custom kernel, it contains a boot.img to overwrite boot.
"system" is the meat of the OS. This is primarily what ROMs flash.
"data" contains all of your apps and settings. When you perform a factory reset, you're reformatting data. If you're flashing a ROM that is significantly different from what you're on now, some of those old settings and data can cause errors, force closes, random reboots, and boot loops. When in doubt, wipe data before flashing a new ROM. When going from one version of a ROM to a newer, very similar version of the same ROM (nightly to nightly), you probably don't need to wipe data, but make a backup just in case. dalvik-cache is also in data; if you wipe data, you've automatically wiped the dalvik cache. It's redundant to wipe data and then wipe dalvik cache.
"cache" is just that, the cache partition. Clearing it won't make you loose anything, at least not anything Android won't silently replace.
So far it seems to be pretty stable on r50. I installed system tuner and brought it down to 1.5 Ghz. I'm not sure why 1.9 is set to default. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Thanks all for the help/advice.
I'm not a dev, but it's obvious to me something is wrong.
I re-flashed the eaglesblood ICS rom using clockworkmod recovery v.5.8.1.3 (touch version)
everything seemed okay.
until i started putting apps back on my phone with app backup and restore.
I was getting "process syystem has stopped responding" all over the place.
Then the phone crashed.
it keeps booting, only three apps seem to be running that show themselves in the taskbar, Groove IP, GV SMS integration, and Battery Notifier (Big Text)
It sits there, one one of the home screens, LW animating slowly as it will.. then the phone reboots for no reason.
I installed 4 or 5 different logcat apps but i can't make heads or tails of them
and adb logcat > logcat.txt just spits out this :
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
dmesg spits out the log i'm attaching.
Can anyone help me? If i can save the log from one of the logcat apps, will that help?
I'd rather not have to reflash and re-install apps AGAIN.
Where you flashing EB 4.0.4 from gingerbread ?
In any case a full wipe and reflash of the ROMs would work fine. Then reflash the appropriate gapps, But when restoring the apps using TB just restore at apps and not their data. They sometimes don't play well.
I had a similar issue when I tried flashing the 4.2 gapps on 4.1.2 keyboard would crash everytime and any app that uses even one of the google services would crash right away.
I cleared dalvic cache did a dirty flash over my existing 4.1.2 , reflashed the 4.1.2 gapps then I fixed permissions and in was good to go.

so a dirty reflash and fix permissions might help?
Funny enough, after posting that, and hitting reboot on CWM recovery.. the phone came up with the cord plugged in, and seems to be stable for now.
Uhm. i was flashing from.... heck if i know, i've tried a bunch of roms.
the phone INITIALLY was 2.3.4
back when i started.. months ago.

*grumble* damn sun-downer phone. SO all night it was crashing.. So i finally got irritated when i went to bed, yanked the battery out and plopped it on my night-stand by my fan.
This morning i put the battery in, turn it on, and it seems stable.
What the heck?!
logs.
So... between all the log apps i've played with i have a bunch of logs.. if anyone could look them over and tell me if they see a problem, i'd appreciate it.
Re-download Rom+Gapps
Place on SD card
Re-nvflash cwm recovery 5.0.2.0
Wipe data/cache/davlk/battstats/format system
Install rom+gapps
Wipe cache/davlk/battstats
Fix permissions
Reboot
Using touch is sometimes buggy, 5.0.2.0 is most stable. Restoring apps/data is sometimes a messes things up.

Hi all. I've had an issue for a few weeks now. I have apps that are constanly locking up and force closing on my phone. I'm currently running Jelly Beans 11 with a rooted and unlocked GS3.
All different apps force close: gmail, play store, kik messenger, system processes. It seems it's not centralized to gapps for instance.
I've installed Beans 5, 6, 8, 9 once. 10 about 2 times, and version 11 i think 3 times. Each time I do a delvik cache wipe, a cache wipe, and a factory reset via CWM. Some times even the initial setup wizard will lock up after first boot.
I've tried flashing different modems as well, and i'm currently on the newest verizon one, the K3.
If anyone has any information on how to fix this it would be much appreciated. Even a full phone wipe or something... I'm going to try clean rom and CM 4.2 tonight.
In a seperate issue, that may or may not be related:
I'm currently in iraq and i'm using the world phone exploit to get cell service and data here in Baghdad. It used to work great, but now the data connection will be connected, but no data will upload or download for long periods of time. For example i could send a kik message while connected to EDGE network, but it might take an hour for it to actually send. It didn't used to do this...
All things considered i'm wondering if I actually physically damaged the phone somehow...
If I haven't provided enough information, please let me know and i'll be happy to reply.
Ok, i tried CM 4.2 and there weren't any lockups. But i couldn't keep the rom, doesn't seem to be any way to get cell service. it won't let me change the band to global.
Going to try clean rom now.
Clean rom works fine as well...
So why would Jelly Beans ROM, that's worked fine for quite a while for me, through various versions of ICS and JB, to suddenly cause apps to force close and general instability?
I've checked MD5's and they're correct...
I think i still need a few more posts before i can post in the dev section as well.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions?
Here's how I flash a rom:
Wipe data/ factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic
Format system
Flash rom
Boot the phone, wait 5 min and then wipe cache and dalvic again. I then fix permissions and then boot the phone and profit.

fixing permissions is a must after a flash/restore.
ok i'll try installing beans again and using fix permissions afterwards.
Thanks
still not working
Ok, i've tried fixing permissions and i'm still having problems. Gapps has stopped working... System UI has stopped working... I followed the above posts exactly.
Any other suggestions?
Are you flashing gapps or just using that term to describe the apps from Google?

gapps was the term that the phone said when it crashed. But no i'm not flashing the gapps, they're included on most of the roms like Jelly Beans 11. I've had a few different gapps force close, like the store and gmail. but i've also had the system ui and kik force close.
Sorry man, it's beyond my knowledge. Never had a bunch of apps stop working that fixing permissions or a clean install didn't fix.

How did Beans build 10 work for you, was that running fine? There are only two things I could suggest since you've tested normal suggestions already:
1) Beans removed a few files from System/Bin on Build 11, these are all included in Build 10. Maybe your phone needs those in order to work properly:
gsiff_daemon
mpdecision
qosmgr
smdexe
This is why I ask was Build 10 working fine for you? If so, maybe pulling these files from the Build 10 zip then putting them into System/Bin, setting permissions as rw r- r-, and rebooting could help. Or it could not.
2) Try flashing with TWRP recovery and see if the FC issue pops up.

Well I think 10 was when the issue started but i'm not sure anymore. I've flashed so many versions in the past week, from 5 to 11 that i've forgotten. I'll see if I can't do that though and see what happens.
should I do a factory reset? i mean is there an equivelant to formating a hard drive and reinstalling windows that i can do on an android?

To be consistent, its best to clean flash (factory reset/dalvik/cache) build 10 just to see if it works fine.
The equivalent to a Windows reinstall would be using Odin to flash a stock image. Using Odin, you would reset your phone back to fresh out of the box, bloated Verizon OTA. I feel that's unnecessary though cuz you flashed CleanRom and had no issues. If you flash another TW JB rom and have no issues, then it's more telling. As of now, something specific in Beans Build 11 (we'll verify b10 soon) is causing issues for you. Are you restoring any apps with Titanium Backup or restoring text messages using another app?
Edit: to detail a little more about the Odin route. After flashing the stock image, then you would need to root, unlock, install a custom recovery all over again and THEN flash Beans build 11. Idk if you want to do all that, esp if you haven't confirmed if this is something that's been happening with prior builds or with other roms.

I just did a fresh install of 10, including cache, delvik, factory reset, system partition, and after first boot i went back and fixed permissions. I'm still getting force closes. media service, google play, etc. I don't have many apps on it yet to see what else will force close since i'm not using titanium backup to restore anything. Everything is fresh and coming from the play store...
I should be hitting 10 posts soon so i'll be able to try and post in the beans thread, or the dev section. But any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
I also seem to be getting a lot of "invalid file" and "file couldn't be downloaded" when i try to install apps from the store. Not sure what this means
Beans 12 came out today and I tried installing that and i'm getting the same issue.
Tomorrow i'm going to do a full wipe to stock verizon image. and go through the unlock and root motions unless someone has any more ideas.
Thank you for the help so far, i appreciate it.
I did a complete stock OTA flash last night to verizon's jelly bean, and went through the root and unlock process again. flashed beans 12, and i'm still getting the same error.
I'm on beans 6 right now and it's working great. Going to try changing a few settings in 12 to see if it works and then maybe see if 10 works.
