Brother can only flash stable cm 10.1.3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

My brother just got himself a skyrocket he's on the newest radio w/custom recovery installed but can't seem to flash anything but cm 10.1 with an old 4.2 GApps package.
Kinda frustrating because I haven't seen anyone else having this issue in any other thread. I did to his all I did to mine and I'm running Wantowan2's DU. Just says installation failed and we can't even flash other recovery from within recovery. Where should we go from here

Odin back to stock and start over. Something got messed up in your recovery

Make sure you've got the proper recovery for 4.3 as well.

Well we did Odin back to stock and Odin flashed twrp 2.6.3 and tried to flash the new cwm touch 6043 and it just failed. Not sure why. I repeated process with my phone and it worked but I feel like he did some stuff he's not telling me.
And the only things that do flash remain to be the cm 10.1.3 and GApps from 2012

The gapps isn't right for 4.3, cm 10.1. Flash the 8-13-2013 gapps
Edit, you can find it on the OP of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46685423

My understanding is that cm 10.1.3 is android version 4.2.2 and the gapps he used worked. No force closes or anything but one thing he mentioned is that his first flashing of the ROM did not include a full wipe. He did not format system. And even after a full wipe in twrp 2.6.1; data, cache, android secure, dalvik, and system still nothing. Still shows dead android and failed install

Edgehood tw ROM help

I have been following the ROM for awhile and tried to flash 1.1 last night. (Now I see 2 is coming so I will wait). My question is I have only flashed beans and aokp. Beans had the aroma install like version 2 of this ROM will have which I simply install from clock work. Do you install 1.1 that way as well or do you flash from Odin? I tried to install from zip using clockwork but it just reboots to stock. Thanks for the help

Install 1.1 from recovery. NOT Odin. Be sure to wipe data beforehand in cwm or twrp.

I'd reccomend clockworkmod over twrp, had more bootloops with twrp in the past.
Also, good alternative rom is dark jelly cm10.1 with android 4.2.1 stable and reliable, using it a pretty long time.
Easy install via an automatic installer program called aroma installer, no need to flash boot.img here

yes, ck your md5's. i use es explorer and it is easy
as john said you can try another rom, but still ck md5 and wipe system as part of your wipes
if you flash a rom with aroma, don't wipe in recovery and aroma. only one. i prefer recovery
as for cwm or twrp. everyone has their favorite. it is my understanding though cwm hasn't kept pace on updates with later version roms afaik
hope you get it--

4.3 Roms will not boot

I have flashed many 4.3 Roms and can not get any of them to boot. I have followed all install instructions but can't get past gs3 screen. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
im having a similar problem to yours..i mean after i do a fresh install+gapps it works..but after i go back to recovery and install my other files it wont go past the gs3 logo no idea why.
Yep frustrating any other ROM is OK just 4.3 not working, sucks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've flashed every 4.3 and all booted. Try just flashing ROM first. Let sit a few minutes then flash gapps. I also use the eclipse ROM gapps for all. No issues.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I also have the same problem when I try to reboot on 4.3 Roms. First boot up is fine. But when I go into to recovery it won't boot back up unless I reflash the ROM from the start. If someone tries flashing ROM and gapps separately let us know if it fixes it.

Tried eclipse ROM and apps. No different. Initial boot works and ROM runs fine but reboot freezes up on gs3 screen. What is getting scrambled and is there a way to fix this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've never had this issue. What I've done/used to flash all 4.3 roms was use the super wipe tool found in the general section(the one that wipes data, system and caches only) and then run it once and flash Rom+ gapps as instructed. I use twrp as well. Also, perhaps it's a stock 4.3 kernel and maybe flash a kernel straight after you flash the rom and gapps. Rom> gapps>kernel . Hope it helps

Use ez recovery to flash the ROM or install cwm and then flash through that?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I had a similar problem when I first tried 4.2 but I've found two ways that have always worked for me
Full wipe (I wipe everything 3 times, but I'm sure that's overkill)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
If it gets stuck on any screen wipe the cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
The other method I've only used with Dirty Unicorns
Full wipe
Flash rom
Reboot
Once the rom reboots, reboot back into recovery
Flash gapps
Reboot
Wait 10 minutes
You can either reboot again or just use as is
But if nothing is working you can odin back to stock
Then use this tool to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash the custom recovery of your choice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 (it even works on a mac)
(This is what I always use to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash recovery whenever I have to flash back to stock)
After I do that I always reboot and use Rom Manager to flash the latest recovery before flashing anything else.
These 2 roms have been 100% stable for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484256 (4.3.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469789 (4.3 I've never tried the weeklies just the lastest stable build)
Hope it helps
It seems that most ROMs will boot up fine with the latest TWRP recovery. But there are a few that will only boot up with CWM. So download both recoveries and flash them using ez recovery when one of them isn't working.
So, I usually stick with TWRP 2.6 as my default. The great thing about ez is that it includes cwm in it. First off I'd make sure you're running the latest recovery available. Then if that doesn't work restore your backup, hopefully you made one, and flash cwm and try reflashing the ROM. Assuming you're wiping everything at least 3 times and flashing the correct ROM with the correct gapps, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. And another thing. It's never a good idea to restore data from any app, ever. Trust me, I know.

You do realize that the recoveries built into ez recovery are over a year old. I wouldn't flash those under any circumstances. Only use ez recovery to flash from the custom slot.

[Q] CM Stuck on logo animation while booting

Hi – I have a stubborn issue with my Blaze 4G not working on CM roms, I would appreciate any help you guys can provide. Below are the details:
I recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and did the following:
- Rooted it using the following guide (it now has ICS)
- SIM Unlocked it using the following guide (now it works on other networks)
- Updated to CWM 6.0.3.8, since JB roms needs it
- Flashed the T769-UVLH5 modem, since CM support it
And now when I flash CM 10 stable or 10.2 nightly it gets stuck in booting and displaying the CM logo animation screen, after few minutes it reboots and does it all over again.
I remember when I upgraded to CM JB on my SGS3 I needed to flash a JB stock rom on it to get the new boot loaders for JB, but I saw no mention of this on this forum. What else am I missing?
Thanks.

Thanks Somcom. I have to admit that I forgot to do the wipes. but even after doing the wipes (data/system/ factory rest/ cach/devalk) and reinstalling the CM nightly, I still have the same issue.
as for recovery, I updated to the latest version using the rom manager, and according to the official site clockworkmod[dot]com[slash]rommanager (can't post links) I have the latest version for Blaze. how do you get the 6.0.4.4 on blaze?
I still feel it's a ICS vs JB bootloaders issue, but not sure how to proceed next.
Thanks!

After 2011 samsung began installing software and counters to try and prevent people from rooting and installing custom firmwares.
knox is an example of this.
These devices don't have any of that complicated security.
You handy with odin? Your recovery is not right. Just to be clear, what is your model number?
If it is T 7 6 9, your good to go to odin. I'd recommend going back to stock, and then install a recovery and you should be good to go.

Thanks again, I use the guide here to convert the image into a tar.md5 to flash using odin, but after flashing successfully I still have the same issue when installing the CM zip file in recovery, and yes it is the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G T769.
any other possible causes?
BTW - when I was flashing via Odin my upload phone screen was showing that I have a custom rom and the counter was 1.... do I need to fix that?

SOLUTION:
The reason your stock recovery system keeps getting overwritten at Android startup is because of a script that is being run.* All you need to do is either rename this script or simply delete it.
Please keep in mind that if you restore your stock ROM, this script will be restored with it so you will have to rename or delete it again.* Do the following:*
1.
Make sure your device is powered on and running normally,
2.
Make sure you have rooted your device and that you have all of the necessary permissions in order to manipulate system files.*
3.
In the root file system go to \system\etc
4.
Find the file named install-recovery.sh and either rename it or, as I did, delete it.*
That’s all there is to it.*
Please keep in mind that you will need to flash your custom system recovery one more time after modifying the script file.* After that, reboot away and you will always be able to get back into your new system recovery.
Good Luck and Happy Tweaking.

Thanks Somcom3X - but I'm not sure this is needed for my case. I read the original blog post and my recovery does not get overwritten. I actually rebooted multiple times into CWM recovery and each time it is the same 6.0.4.4.
I also went into the /system/etc folder and there is no install_recovery.sh file.
to clarify, here is where I'm stuck now:
- when I use CWM 6.0.3.8 CM install completes successfully, but then CM will not boot, and will keep on cycling on the boot logo screen.
- when I use CWM 6.0.4.4 I can't start to install CM as it complained that my phone is not t769.
in all cases I'm using CM 10.2 nightly for T769.
Thanks for the help.
You should delete assert lines at the top of the zip's updater-script and it will let you flash it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
I removed the assert lines from the updater script, and it was able to complete the install process afterwards, however when I booted the new CM 10.0 system it got stuck on the cyanogenmod boot logo. I made sure I do a system/data rest, cleared cash, and cleared devalk.
I do not think it's an issue with my recovery as I'm getting the same result as I did with the official 6.0.3.8.
Something else is going on.
Any ideas?

as for the provided link, I did follow it through, and downloaded the recovery Tar (it was CWM 5.5.04) but that yielded the same results after installing CM 10 and 10.2 - stuck at boot screen logo.

Hello everyone i currently flashed my sph-d710 or sprint gaxy s2 to a kit kat rom. now first i tried flashing back to other roms, nothing lower then jb and i cant. so i was thinking of flashing a rom and tried backing up through rom manager and it brought me into recovery with an error. My a.d.d. having ass deleted the villumanti by accident b4 the error and i wiped/reset everything including cache during the error,and couldnt flash anything (i tried 3 roms). IN THE END I REBOOTED ALL WAS THERE.I think i have an idea of what happened. I think it could be due to a modem issue e.g. downgrading from kit kat to jb. Should i flash a custom kernel thru mobile odin and get the recovery from there(IM RUNNING THE LATEST CWM I BELIEVE)or should i boot into recovery wipe all data cache reboot recovery and flash the modem, reboot into recovery again proceed as normal. Also what modem should i use. If ive been to vague or you need any more info let me know. P.s.
