[Q] I destroyed my phone? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Well after a lot of reading and watching videos(apparently not enough),i seem to have gotten myself into something i am not sure i can get out of.I followed all the steps to install TWRP on my SGH-I727 AT&T Skyrocket using Straight Talk.That went ok,i got it installed,booted into it and forgot to backup my data first!I did a wipe first.... no idea why
I had the CM-11-20140106-nightly skyrocket.zip file on my external sd card.I get to the sd card and see the zip file,select it,I clicked install and the screen says checking for MD5 file...Skipping MD5 check no MD5 File found,then FAILED.
I also put gapps on sd card and it installs that fine.
So now when i try to reboot it just goes to the twrp screen and i can't get any further.Of course i can't restore because i didnt backup...
i was running 4.1.2 jb,am i totally screwed or what?I tried to reinstall with kies but it won't connect to phone now

Install cwm 6.0.3.7 and try again I have had nothing but a pita using twrp lately on newer android builds

Messing around,i got a notice that SU wasn't installed from twrp,so i said yes install.It did and phone came back up.I clicked the SU app and went through the update steps.Everything seems to be working ok,i suspect i just rooted my phone! Lol I might go ahead and boot back into twrp,do a backup and see if i can install the CM again,think i will be okay?

Yea you just rooted it, but cm will install if you use cwm

Gotcha,didn't even notice the button.
Had lots of fun yesterday plying with my phone.I got bold and installed CM 11 kit kat 4.4 and gapps.Gapps seems to have flaked out as i got all kinds of stopped working errors.Did a wipe and reinstalled CM 11.Still trying to find a good working version of gapps.I might drop down to CM 10.2 because it is stable and see if i can get a gapp version to work with that.
In the end,i haven't bricked my phone yet and i am doing a lot of reading and learning a lot,all good

do some more reading.
theres only one specfic gapps version that will work with cm11, its in their installation/instructions page.
hard bricking will happen if you flash something not meant for our phones, need it jtaged to fix it.
soft bricking will happen if you dont folllow devs instructions but is easily recoverable

[Q] flashing cm7

This is pretty much the only rom I haven't tried yet. I read about 10 pages on the dev page but Im just not 100% sure how to flash this rom. I'm currently running miui with blue recovery, so I'm good there. I've already downloaded the latest build according to the dev page, but I have no idea what gapps or whatever is. I read that I can download them in rom manager, I checked it out but there's like 10 versions. Do I flash the Google app then cm7?

With blue CWM recovery you should be able to flash CM7 with a normal flash in CWM. If you boot loop, pull battery and reflash. The gapps is all the google apps you need, Cyanogen can't include google apps in the Rom. If you download gapps through rom manager, pick the latest one. I actually downloaded gapps from the Cm7 wiki. (the link for it is in the OP for Cm7 Rom) Flash the rom first THEN gapps and you should be good.

Ya thats what I meant by normal flash lol. I know when flashing from red you need to format but, I can't remember if I did so when flashing from CM7 to MIUI or if its needed. You can try it without, and if it doesn't work then format, just make a backup before you do. I just remember the format system part is before you flash the zip a second time after a battery pull.

I did a normal flash and it worked fine but the latest version of Google apps doesnt match the latest cm7 build. I tried it anyways but I did work, no Google apps appreared, so I went back to miui.us. I guess ill have to wait for an update.

MIUI comes with the market which is really all you need ( you can download the rest from the market) CM7 is what needs gapps, best way to get these is from the rom thread, he's got a link in the OP somewhere.

Did you flash gapps through rom manager or cwm? I had to mess with that for a while and could only get it to work when flashing through cwm (blue). Worth the effort though. This is my favorite rom and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. A lot of them anyways.

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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.

[Q] Need Advice Loading [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!
Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850
Success!
Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:

EDIT: Ok so I had to one click back to stock. I then installed Beastmode's CM10.1 which had CWM 6 on it. Flashed the Aries CM 10.1 and it booted ok.
i will add that to directions

I feel like this ROM is taking a little longer then usual to install.
Upgrading from CM7 CWM 5. Been on the "installing update..." with about 80% done for about 10 minutes now.
I've never had this happen before.
Did a factory reset before upgrading.

FYI, make sure that you upgrade from CM9 to CM10 then to CM10.1... If you start from CM7 you can have serious problems, especially of your only on CWM 5... You should be on CWM 6.
It still may work, but its highly unlikely...

Try flashing an android version on 4.x.x
According to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103009
You must be on at least an ICS rom.
I actually got tired of waiting and pulled the battery. Turned the phone back on expecting to be f'd. To my surprise I was booting into CM10.1 Aries,
Not sure what went wrong but all seems OK so far.
Is anyone else having WiFi authentication problems? It won't work on my device...
EDIT: Everything is in order... Sorry about this post

Seems to be working for me.
When you say Device Settings are not working, does that mean everything in the 4.2.2 Device category in System Settings (Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps, and Advanced), or just the SGS4G Settings under Advanced?
Before I update, does Adobe Flash works or not (if I reinstalled it)?!

As long as you are on ICS or JB you can flash away.
Sorry, but I gotta ask, tv out & wifi calling? Jk
Congrats airfluip & noiphone. I'll be snagging my old phone back from my wife and flashing it this weekend.

I flashed from beanstock (TWRP) and got hung at the bootloader. I had to 1click to stock, get on CM 10.1 (CWM 6). Then flash Aries CM 10.1.
It looks like you need to flash from CWM 6.

I spent exactly ten minutes pulling pictures of the internet and merging them together to get this lovely thing that I made in a weak celebration of the Aries Kernel being releasedish. Feel free to use/disregard it as you wish :3
Everything Works Except Advanced Settings (Which I Don't Need) And GPS (Phone Isn't Connected) The Front Camera Does Show Sideways Though. Other Than That, Everything Is Good Over Here

Ubuntu Touch Test
1.Download base zip http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Infuse4G/Ubuntu/infuse4g_ubuntu.zip
2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features
Yeah, my phone got soft bricked after flashing the base zip. Darn, I was excited...I guess I'll Odin it back when I have the time.

What do you mean what did it do ?
Please explain did it reboot etc ?
I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

You guys can flash recovery? If so try a newer recovery like scotts newest 4.2.2 builds because I am using his source idk if it will have any effects but i did read about his partition change and if you're using that version of cwm thats pretty old
The galaxysmtd isnt much different from this phone same partitions so I used their ubuntu guide
Having the same problem here and I have the newest recovery

Not yet I need one of these to test on . I am working on getting Ubuntu touch not preview working on my phone I talked to Scott about the error with the build since our devices both will fail since the file is exactly the same.

I really wish I could help, I would offer you the one I have but USB data doesn't work (you know if it gets soft bricked then there is no fixing it) so for that reason I don't believe it would be a prime candidate, you sometimes can get these freedom eBay at a really good price as long as you can deal with not having something work, or if you post a thread asking to borrow someone device for a while that seems to have worked pretty well in the past here

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.

PM a link please
Thank you .
happy to help
If anyone is working on porting this, I'd also be glad to test. My infuse is doing nothing other than collecting dust right now so I might as well do something with it.
