[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fukenbiker:
what I did

Okay in my effort to get back CyanogenMod so far... (thanks I'll be reading and studying and mounting 'n stuff then next)

I flashed Version 3 and got my crooked screen but wifi worked. Then I was able to resurrect the phone to the point where I got the apn backup/restore and got a signal. Wifi still working AND a signal. Cool. Hmmm... Why doesn't the home button work? It vibrates when you touch it but it's broken? Didn't remember that being broken ever, but did remember reading it was for somebody...

THEN, heh heh heh, I used rom manager. I love how gapps or whatever is going on installs my google stuff and I get root explorer back and everything SO I used rom manager to flash Version 4 right on top with only a tick in wipe delvic cache.

Shazzam! Screen rotation fixed, home button works, got a signal.... DARN!!!! now wifi is broken again. Version 4? C'mon! gotta have wifi

Now it's time for me to study mounting a partition, didn't want to have to go there but it's next on my learning curve.

"First time I flashed it I did too go back and make sure you first system in the mounts menu then flash it all again"

Is this what you referred to?

I saw the OP author remark about a fix, ten pages prior, no word from Playin4sheezy since...

My present state of blue collar condition as far as I know is Version 3 with Gapps and flashed Version 4 on top, and my wifi is broke.

Can someone put in laymans terms where I'm headed next to get wifi working? Flash the kernel from the other thread?

Mount something? Should I hump after mounting?

keeping in mind I intend to mount a partition or something in clockworkmod before I flash v4....

I wiped and formatted everything I could to get a clean slate and installed Version 3 so I could have wifi cuz all versions have broken data and version 3 with wifi so far is my only way "in" to install cyanogenmod.

Once I gleefully get my crooked screen and hooked to wifi, I sync with google. That way I can run the APN restore and backup app, enabling me to get a signal. Also, on my other experiences, the home button was only broken on ONE of my tries)

Now I'm going to fire up rom manager and reboot into recovery so I can find this mounting thing.... Okay I selected a mount thing and mounted a system... didn't see anything about partition to mount.... Noted that after selecting to mount system it seemed to be a toggle, and "unmount system" it did change into...

Next I flashed Version 4 and then rebooted.

And it seems to be taking a long time. Heard it buzz while the screen has been dark, that's all so far....

Pulled the battery. Waited a while and reflected. Put it back in. Replaced the cover. held volume UP and volume Down then pressed the power button and held all three down until it vibrated three times, keep vol up and down pressed and let go of the power button, then after samsung logo showed up I let go of the volume buttons and it's booted into clockworkMod v5.0.2.7

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

Made note that the folder called "mounts and storage" is where I went before and got in trouble

Looked in "advanced" and saw Partition the SD card and wondered about it...

Wiped delvic cache

Went to the sd card and installed version 3 and then installed gapps.

Rebooted.

And I'm going to jump threads next and flash the kernel like I did before and to heck with version 4!

That is all.
