[Q] ICS_SMOOTHIE not working for me

Hello everyone, just got my skyrocket gs2 (from ios4s) and longstory short,
i was told (by att rep) this phone did ICS....
so now i know it doest for now.......so i decided to root(ok so far) and
all that jazz......
im up to the point where i drop in the rom on extcard to install.
The problem im having is that the ROM im trying to run is
ICS_SMOOTHIE
and its not working properly. When i install (about 5 tries already) all goes good till reboot. I reboot, phone "sammy text" appears 3-6 xs, then eventually i get the ICS intro with all the colors and 1sec after it appears, it freezes and theres like a "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" sound like a turbine engine like if phone was gonna blow up.
My ? is, whats going wrong? i followed the guide to the letter and did every step(as far as clearin cache etc) multiple times.
if this rom is bad (i also downloaded twice) then are there more ICS roms
out there that r good?
Thanks in advanced.

Hmmm you did install the ICS leak first, correct?... if anything don't do darkside wipe and only clear cache and dalvik cache. Flash zip from sdcard and do factory reset then reboot.

OK I see your problem. Looks like the rooting guide you followed is for GB (GB is gingerbread OS) which is before ICS. And let me get you the right guide... u need to flash this first http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/ and that is becuz the rom itself doesn't have what is called the "radio" or "modem" for it to work properly so u need to flash the ics leak that came out first and then you have to flash CWM TOUCH recovery with Odin and root... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24085665 rooting guide for ics: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24050465

Firstly, man, the devs will kill you if you say they are just skins and not full ROMS..LOL...!
The step above in your post: You should not skip that step if you are coming from Gingerbread.
You flash the leaked ICS modem first thing.
Then you wipe data etc.......although the modem is onboard the ROM.
see mhx's Full Bloat ICS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570498 FOLLOW THE STEPS AND LINKS FOR MODEM, KERNEL AND ROM in that post.
I have this running on my phone full time. I think that is that absolute safest for any newbie. Once you have ICS STOCK running, then you know you are good.

LMAO at all of you.
Thanks for all you guys help. i gave up and returned the phone lol, got a iphone 4s.......................( booooooooooooooooo ) lol
BUT, my quick question here (before i get stoned ) is lol, can i use these ICS "roms" on my galaxy tab? (im still a supporter) lol...
overall, i have samsung galaxy tab 8.9 and 7.1 and im wondering if i can use the tools you guys have provided on those 2 devices or if i have to go look for specific mods/upgrades for those devices seperately?

Help Needed Please with HTC senation root phone after updating to CM9

Hello All,
I have HTC sensation 4g which i rooted the phone back in march by following the steps online after which i never updated it ..Couple of days ago i download cm7 and installed on my phone but forgot to backup ..After installation it started and looks like its a developer edition cm7 i don't see any of my apps and Google play store also .. Then i download cm9 and installed that now my phone restarts every other minute and i don't see any of my apps or Google play store ...Also the touch interface doesn't work ...
Can someone please help me from this situation
Thanks a lot in Advance

CM7 is a GB ROM. CM9 is ICS. You need to update your firmware to run CM9. For your apps and google play store, you have to flash the correct GAPPS after flashing the ROM when using CM.
You won't be able to update your firmware unless you are S-OFF. If you choose not to S-OFF, you need to use GB based ROMs.

Thanks for the response ..
I am okay to S-Off my phone but i am not sure how to do the total process. Right now i am okay to install/unistall/S-off whatever to make my phone restored or make it work like before .. Can you help me by explaining step by step process.

To upgrade your firmware to 3.33 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Once you upgrade your firmware you can install any ICS ROM you want. Get in the development section and pick a ROM. Just remember to download the correct GAPPS if you decide to use a CM ROM.

there is a way to install fw without S-OFF.see also here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
for ics roms download 3.32 and 3.33 firmwares
only check first your cid and mid(it is necessary)

Thanks to everyone for the help until now ..
I have loaded the below CM ROM but the issue is i am still unable to get the google play and rest of the apps,unable to acess sd card too
cm-10-20120918-NIGHTLY-crespo4g
I know you said i need to install the correct gappss but what should i search for to find the correct one ?
Gapps for CM10 is that what i should be searching for .. Sorry if i have asked something that doesnt make sense...
Thanks in advance
I installed the gapps and looks like i might be able to get the apps will keep you posted ..

first of all you have to change the BASEBAND and the ROM.
FLASHING ZIP ROM with CWM will NOT change your ROM from version to version (2.2 ->2.3 -> 4.0) !!!!
Once you install OVER THE COMPUTER your ROM (in KDZ or FLS+BIN) then you can play with custom roms.
so if you did this before install Acura ICS rom then proibabvly you lost you IMEI.
this check when you write on your dial pad *#06#
if it is empty - you should restore it - check the developer section how to do that.

I'm just so lost imei. Then I did a restore and everything was like when I bought the mob. Then am via CWM intall king rom and everything worked but I not have network. so I did restore again and now my phone is terribly slow. I'd like to install ics rom .. so if you could explain to me in detail how to make a switch or a link where what to do. as the phone was bought in the mobail operator and is SIM lock

[Q] Custom ROM always bricking

Hi there, I have been trying for countless hours to make a custom ROM work on my P920 with no results, always some issues. I've managed to brick my phone in different ways a billion times now, then spent billion hours unbricking it and in the end I'm always back to where I started. I would really love some help please.
My phone is P920.
The android version I'm running is: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7+
Software version: V21E
Rooting method: megatron
Now I would like a ROM that uses Android 4 and that can still use the 3D features such as 3D camera, the ROM calledthe Darkroom International would be an example I imagine.
While that's one of the ROMs that I would want, I've tried many, and always encountering issues, let me clarify.
First of all my device has to be rooted and since SuperOneClick doesn't work for me as it gets stuck on step 7, I use megatron which works well. I even double check if my phone is rooted with the Root Checker from the Android store. Now according to the guides I've read I need a custom recovery system, so I install Clockworkmod. I then place the ROM on the SD card, in the recovery menu I delete cache, that other cache, format it, format system, data, everything those guides tell me to. Afterwards, I install the ROM by selecting the zip and then I reboot. I've tried like 3 different ROMs, jellybem, cyanogenmod and some other. Yes I know none of them support 3D features - I didn't know at the time. Anyway, the issue was always the same, right after the LG logo there would be a screen with some weird colors showing the display of what happened before the phone crashed. Before it crashed? Yes, the phone would actually boot into the ROM but only for a few minutes, crashing afterwards. The next time I would boot, it would show that weird screen with those fancy colors with what happened just before it crashed. So I followed some steps and I got back to the original 2.3.5 ROM, everything back to normal.
I tried doing some more research and I came across the Darkroom Intentional ROM which had a bit different instructions. It asked me to install TWRP recovery with a bootloader, so I did, successfully, then did all the clean cache etc, installed ROM, bam, wouldn't boot at all. Oh boy have I had issues here, I couldn't even get it back to the default 2.3.5 stock ROM because my phone wasn't even recognized in the device manager. So I did some more research, found a solution, managed to flash back to 2.3.5 stock and I'm back to square one.
Now, could someone please help and explain to me what exactly have I done wrong and how I can make it right? I've spent countless hours now trying to install a custom ROM with no success. Sorry about the long read. If you need me to supply some more information please let me know. Thank you.

First of all if u want to use an ICS ROM then u need to update to ICS FIRST u can't flash it directly from 2.3.5 u can use xbsalls thread to update......
Next if cm based Roms are crashing then u need to flash bootloaders which means u should use os_hacking tool to flash ICS bootladers if u wanna update
Or flash GB bootloaders
So first update if u want
Root
Flash bootloaders
Flash recovery
Flash Roms

Yes it should. I downgraded to ICS before upgrading- similar to OP, and it fixed the error on Z Fire.

Working well also on JBMP, thanks .

Baseband Unknown
And how to solve Baseband: Unknown...? Anyone?

does anyone knows if it works for xperia tipo (tapioca)?

i think for almost all xperia CM10 GSM errors it might work...
Any how the good news is that the new FXP223 CM10 has solved the GSM fix and you need not flash ICS just to make sure GSM is working...
Here is the changelog from FreeXperia site:
FXP223
- 3.4 kernel (J)
- GSM fix (J)
- Speaker in call (Tipo,Miro,J,E)
- Overclock (P,U,Sola,Go)

Yes, according to FXP project site with the recently released FXP223 you shouldn't need to install stock ICS anymore. I've the GSM error by myself and fixed it by the workaround. Didn't get the chance of updating to 223, but will do it this evening.
BTW: how can I update FXP without losing all my userdata, apps etc.?

Just now I updated FXP223 CM10 with Xperia J Jelly Bean Firmware (11.2.A.0.31) but still no GSM? How to fix it? -_-

I'm still experiencing the issue with FXP223. First updated from FXP222, then did a clean install even with stock ICS prior to it. Wiped cache/data etc., nothing fixed the issue. The boot logo looks totally weird with glitches and strange colors.

What's the workaround that you fixed your GSM by? Please tell me, I've updated to 223 and there's no fixes at all. And, if you already have FXP installed on your device, let's say FXP222 and want to upgrade, just do it. You won't lose anything, but just in case make a backup. The whole process of upgrading from FXP222 to FXP223 is very easy. Download FXP223, transfer to your SD Card or Internal, reboot your device to recovery, backup to ext_card or SD card just in case something goes wrong, after the backup is done, choose install zip, install from SD Card or ext_card depending on where you transferred the zip file and install it. Then reboot to system and you'll see a progress bar telling you about optimizing apps etc.

Thanks for the information about the update process! Appreciate that a lot.
FXP and a user here in the General board said that you have to install stock ICS firmware from Sony first, start it and finish the setup wizard at launch and then just turn off your device and start with flashing the FXP kernel and CM10. Afterwards wipe cache via recovery and reboot. This worked for me with FXP222. According to FXP this should be fixed with FXP223 but feel free to try it anyhow.

weird after flash 3.4 kernel , the "FreeXperia BOOTLOGO" seem like not clear. like glitch.

yes even i updated to fxp223 im not quite happy with It ! although im not having the GSM problem. hmm let us hear it from other users who have tried this update !
