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.

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.

Ok what rom did you nan back to? You may want to flash Scotts rom which is very close to stock and see if that fixes the problem. Plus this is in the wrong section you needed general forum.

First partner this is in the wrong section, pretty sure you sent releasing anything. Second it sounds like you sim card went bad, get a new one from Verizon. Also, it doesn't hurt to Odin back to factory it can cure a lot if problems. I like to do it every now and then just to clean up.

[Q] Embryo Noob Question

I flashed Embryo a couple days ago and everything has been fine except all of a sudden, I have my old keypad on the phone dialer (I was on SKY ICS) instead of the new one that came with embryo. I don't understand how all of a sudden I have my old SKY keypad.
The one thing I wonder is that I did a data restore in Tebu so maybe that's why? I re-flashed Embryo and deleted all of my SKY zips I had but I still have the SKY dialer.
Sorry if this question is annoying but I've tried for two days to figure this out

Did u do a full wipe of both caches, system and factory/data reset before flashing? Also it would be good to post questions in the Q&A section.....

No I never did. I checked the dialer after I did the re flash and before I did anything in tibu but it was still the SKY dialer. Everything else is perfect I think, but I can't figure this out.

Next thing I can suggest is going back to stock via Odin and try rooting and flashing the ROM again.....go in back to stock usually solves unusual problems

check to ensure that you did not restore a system app such as dialer or others. TibU will restore those if your not paying attention..

Automatically getting restarted

My phone is restarting many times I am on cm7 with the original kernel this same thing was happening on ICS so reverted to cm7 but the problem did not solve the phone was suddenly restarting in the recovery even when I was installing any rom is this a hardware problem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

It may be a hardware issue but first you need to rule out software, gremlin problem. Have you done a one click back to stock yet? If not you may have to do that. Also doing a sd card wipe(format) every once in while helps.
Their are two versions Gremlin Remover (oden), and heimdal one click back to stock.

Or it could be your battery is going bad.

Could be a few things. You'll need to take the phone aprt to check though. Here
's a guide:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S+4G+Teardown/4977/1
The battery post are soldered to the main board. Look for cracks there. Also pull out the power button and clean it. Those are the two most likely places to check.

help... baseband UNKNOWN.. CM10

Hi, I hate to say this but PLEASE HELP ... lol... been saving that one for a while.
I have a S2 Skyrocket LTE the Canadian rogers version, I have been running great on JB CM10 for months now, and all of a sudden once in a while, or often I should say the phone says "NO SIM CARD" so if i restart a few times, battery pull, it will most times come back and I can use my phone fine for a bit.. than boom.. it does it again..
I noticed in the about section it says Baseband UNKNOW so i did a hour of research and can't find a solution, I am confused why this could happen.. if anyone could help me out i would love you.

Flash the radio again. Try one of the newer ones.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

can you tell me where to get a radio, and how to flash the radio ?
I have my phone rooted and unlocked to put in cm jelly bean for skyrocket.. I used another PC i think odin or somthing i used.. it was a challange.
Can i flash a radio in recover mode CWR mode.. or do i need a pc and stuff to do it ?
thanks

Try mohans ucmc1. Find it in the development forum. Flash it in your custom recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I edited my other reply...
So this "radio" you link to, is it giong to work for Rogers in Canada still and allow my phone to be used internationaly with other sims still ?
I know i have a "custom recovery" as I remember something about that, I don't know what it is, i know how to boot up in recovery mode.. I think that is what you mean, and then i just find the file you point to and instal it that way ?
Will this change only the radio and not all my data and system changed on the phone ?
THANK YOU SO MUCH>>

It'll only change the radio. Won't affect anything else.

thanks... ok so one thing.. what i am finding is that there is a "stock" rom by this author that is flashable, how do i get only the radio that you mentioned, do i unzip this rom 1st and the radio is in there, or am i just not seeing the radio only file ?

It worked, I flashed it and it says i have a baseband number in the about phone area..
I do notice that my signal might have dropped, I wonder if it is possible to get the Rogers radio for this and flash it and see if it has better signal or if this one would be the same ?
I most times have 2 bars - 3 and now have one, sometimes changes.. but we will see,
