Still cant power off my phone...

I posted a thread a few days ago about not being able to power off or restart my Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket on ATT. I am using SKy's ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 with the newest update and I still cannot turn it off. The response I got was to use the Darkside Wipe, I tried that, loaded the base rom, then rebooted (it rebooted on its own) flashed the update, and now im back to it not being able to turn off.... I have searched every where and everyone says the issue is resolved, but its not working. Please point me in the right direction to fix this issue.

Pull the battery

Ive lived without if i need to reboot then hold power till it reboots and if i need recovery then do the same but press volume buttons right as it shuts down

Thank you! Did't want to have to pull the battery anytime I needed to restart my phone. Holding the power button in for 10-15 seconds even when its froze forces it to restart. At least now I can put my case back on it....
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to stop it from freezing up? Or at least know whats causing it?

I had this problem too with the Ics roms. If you use the touch recovery to wipe factory data reset it should work. I used to one recommended in the sky Ics thread and had no problems after that.

Do you have a link to it? I have been looking for options and I must be missing it.
I did do the Dark Side complete wipe, and after it worked, it stopped working when I applied the update.

Just factory wipe, wipe cache, dalvik in whatever cwm you have

Ill try that again, and redownload the patch and see if that fixes it. Is there anyway to get an error log to see whats FCing or crashing?

Weird question about emergeny mode

Hello to everyone and respect to all you developers for your hard work!
as you can see i'm noob but i'll try not to be too noobish.
here's the situation.. now, i have hephappy's CM9 bluepill rom installed in my lg p500 and it works just perfect (i mean it,just perfect),
and before that i have flashed custom rom's couple of times with success but once when i tried to boot into emergency mode (vol down+back+power) after that i couldn't get rid of that yellow message every time i restarted or turn on my phone till today.
so, now i'm living with that issue,but it bothers me,i can't understand why yellow emergency screen is showing EVERY time i reboot my mobile.
then i find out that the only way to avoid that is pulling battery out and wait for at least 5 minutes and then switch on (then it's ok - LG logo and blah blah).
but when i try to turn it on for less than 5 mins, emergeny mode will be showing everytime i switched mobile on.
so, i don't have a clue or answer what it could be. i tried to flash stock firmware through KDZ and actually everything seems ok and everything works just fine but that yellow screen still spy on me.
as i said, everything works perfect but when battery is drained or i wanna reboot my mobile i have emergency mode shown,so i must repeat above procedure with pulling out battery for 5 mins everytime.
i hope i didn't complicate this

Try to change RADIO (BASEBAND),maybe it might help you!

yes pal. everything i can remember including booting into recovery with clockworkmod, wiping all data,cache,update with kdz,then root,flash new rom...and everytime everything goes like a glowe,everything is stable,with no errors.
i suppose i'm one of the luckiest lg p500 users when it's about good,stable device,which could be overclocked or tweaked without kernel panic,errors, etc (i heard that differences between same devices can vary).
BUT after all that i have that same issue with yellow emergency mode.
finally, i suppose that yellow screen is the price i must pay at the cost of good stability and great performance

did you try flashing gb stock rom by lgmdp?

If you can get into yellow screen your ok
Last resort use kdz just don't take out battery or disconnect and you should be fine

@dhruv:
I heard about lgmdp,but i didn't found myself interested enough to try it
Because i actualy didn't had any issues excep that yellow screen.so you think it could be helpful?
@darkknight:
It is the only way i can avoid yellow screen by pulling out battery for 5 mins.
I know that my prob is unusal but now i have a lot of apps installed linked with link2sd,so i should find some way to safely backup all that stuff and try to do smtg.

I didnt get the method of flashing rom.. what you said above!!
You root again after updating from kdz.. you have gone wrong somewhere thats why you
get emergency mode everytime you restart.
I would suggest.. clear all the links.. make a nandroid backup. Dont use kdz as its not
required. Go into recovery.. clean everything (specially boot) and flash any rom and see if the problem persists.

which rom and which recovery maybe you can try and change the recovery. I wont reccomend kdz because i flashed it 10-12 times but after that i bricked my phone 2 times while flashing with kdz.

Here it is..
I had official gingerbread used when i found out that cm9 ics was out.then i have wait for stable cm9 rom,till hephappy's premature version.
So,i decided to flash premature,so here is a short procedure..
I don't have exact rooting/flashing guide link right now but i found it on xda forums for p500.
Downloaded short fuse,adb,etc and root via usb & command prompt..everything was ok,device sucesfully rooted,i got superuser.
Next step i installed rom manager from google play and follow flash instructions from xda including nandroid backup,booting to recovery,wiping data,dalvik,battery,everything that could be wiped..then installed premature,gapps,everything goes just fine.
I have been using premature till bluepill cames out.
just before flashing new rom i decided to hard reset via vol up+home+power, but i accidently entered into emergency mode by pressing vol down+back+power instead and after that yellow showing i have issue with it.
Downloaded then stock ginger rom from xda sites (20g),installed via kdz,everything flows fine,rooted againg with same procedure,flashed bluepill rom too with same procedure and still having that yellow emergency mode issue.
I think i made it much more clear

it is not bricked, not even soft brick, don't understand the panic every time, I flash my device about 20 times every day with experimental stuff and nearly 80% cause a bootlop or crashes and sometimes a soft brick..
Just copy new ROM to your sdcard

torxx is saying adb push a rom to phone thru command window. Do all the wipes you said you have done. It is good you wipe System also. Maybe try to reformat sd card, all fat32. Back it up first. I had better luck reformatting thru phone than a windows reformat program. Don't know why as sdformatter always worked on Nexus One. Maybe because of the internal card of the 1s as opposed to removable sdcard.

Oh well I got it fixed, had to factory reset my data and cache and reflash it over my current one and boom, it works again but I appreciate the feedback

Glad you got it--

Ok so now another problem came up, everything works good, my YouTube app plays videos but it stays stuck loading up then it plays sound for a second or two then it reloads the video and does that repeatedly and it keeps going on till I exit the app, plus the camcorder don't work, the camera app works and takes pics fine but I can't record or playback any videos in my gallery, but when I install a video player it plays the videos I can't really play in my gallery, but when I click on camcorder on the camera app it loads up then it just closes it without warning and it keeps doing that until I restart it and then it works for a little bit then it does it again. Srry to bother you guys with such little things like this but I like my phone fully working plus I like to take pics while I record but it keeps fc'ing so I just want to fix that. Any clues?

[Q] Stuck in bootloop on LiquidSmooth

A few details before I start
I am on Galaxy S3 i535 from Verizon, was running CleanROM 5.6 for a few hours after coming from Codename Android that I was using for a few days(I've been going crazy with trying roms lately.)
I flashed LiquidSmooth 2.0 with CWM (never have used odin)
On all of these flashes before i did so I wiped system/factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and formatted system, cache, and data.
I had just finished flashing Liquid Smooth about an hour ago and was installing a few things with titanium back up. everything up until this point was going fine, got all my apps instaIlled and ready to go, and I head into the settings and try to turn on a few things and edit some settings in the Liquidsmooth settings.
Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried power/volume down, power/home/volume up, power/home/volume down, and nothing will get it to reboot. I dont know whether or not it is safe to take out the battery and start from there, so if that is the route I should take, please let me know.
I have no experience with odin, but I can most definitely look that up so I wont need help there. Just some help on whether or not I should take out the battery or do something else. I just don't want to brick it in any way if that is avoidable:fingers-crossed :fingers-crossed:
Thanks to whoever can help me!
Edit:
I used the search a little better this time and saw people say pull battery on similar cases, and I did that, and I'm still stuck in bootloop. (It seems like in most of the threads I found pulling the battery was a given so people didnt mention it, but I needed to know for sure.) So I am still in the bootloop and am just going to boot into download mode and go from there.
Alright I was able to odin to stock, and now im back to square one.
Not sure how to delete threads :S

If you are gonna try to help at least read the whole OP.
And to manually boot recovery its: Volume up+home+power.

OP you are missing the point here. You have to take the battery out and put it back in before going to recovery. Once you have done that try vol-up/home/ power at the same time. Once samsung logog appears look at the top left if you see words release. it will boot to recovery. You can take it from there.

Crash test StabilityTest (does restart)

Try booting in safe mode. If it still reboots, then flash a factory image with fastboot. If it still reboots then, you've got a hardware problem.

If you flashed a factory image and it still does it, then it is likely a hardware issue.
Replying to your PM- Boot into safe mode by pressing the power button, and when the reboot menu comes up, press and hold "Power off" until the option to reboot to safe mode pops up. Then just hit OK.

Safe mode boots your phone without any 3rd party apps or non essential software. It basically only loads the stuff your phone needs to run which will help to eliminate any apps as the culprit. Yes you'll still get calls, but any apps you use won't be accessible. It's not something that's meant to be used all the time, just for troubleshooting. So, if you still get reboots while in safe mode, that means you either have a hardware problem, or a firmware glitch. But since you said you already flashed the factory image that pretty much rules out the firmware, leaving hardware as being your issue.
