The reboot/shutdown hangup is part of the leak, If you skim through some of the other forums people had the same issue.

This should take care of market issues, for some reason it is very finicky. A factory reset worked for me.

Only if you want an easy way to have ICS rooted and deodexed. If you're already rooted then there's no reason to restore this.

let me know if you fix your problem, make sure you format system, data, and cache under mounts and storage before restoring the backup or do a darkside wipe. then do a factory data reset after and wipe dalvik cache before rebooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
Get an app called Quick Boot from the market... Works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
Make sure you do the darkside wipe before you restore the backup, then factory reset and dalvik-cache wipe before rebooting. The homescreen/search issue is also part of the leak (I had it the first time I flashed with ODIN). My only advice is to try again making sure you do the proper wipes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I've searched for darkside wipe, & just darkside... There are hundreds of posts that pop up... Any chance you could post a link? Please :)

This doesn't modify baseband
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
So I should end up with my GB baseband after restoring this? Just curious because the other method I used everything works but my baseband is shown as "Unknown".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dogblood:
newb question - I apologize in advance, I have a stock rogers skyrocket -- I have rooted in the past on my captivate but on this particular skyrocket unit I haven't done any modifications or hacks. Having said that, will I need to do this darksyde wipe as well?

Any advice if started from scratch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iceman4357:
As stated above, it doesnt change the baseband at all. So if your baseband is "unknown" it will stay there. You can find a few different basebands to flash though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
I would still do the darkside wipe, it clears your /system, /data, and /cache partitions making sure the phone is a clean slate before restoring. Just follow the instructions in the OP and you shouldn't have any problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
I'll ODIN back to stock and go from there. Just curious, is there any issues or ramifications with using an "Unknown" baseband?

Soo tempting though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
I eventually got it to work by doing a dark side both before and after the restore. Thanks for your help!!! Also, don't try a batch titanium restore. It made the phone freeze up a lot and I couldn't even fix permissions. I haven't tried going through apps 1 by 1 though maybe that will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
Awesome - thanks, that worked! Saved me the hassle of having to reflash Rogers stock to get the modem reporting correctly... plus it's the ICS one! Cheers!

I think he's referring to an ODIN modem flash I was testing last night for cdshepherd. The flash went fine but baseband was still "Unknown" so was hard to say what modem was running.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dogblood:
decided to go for it.. obtained root, installed rom mgr, flashed clockwork, put nandroid backup on \clockwork\backup folder put darkside wipe on root of sdcard, rebooted into cw recovery.

Here I installed the darkside wipe, restored the ics backup

factory reset

wipe dalvik

rebooted phone.

all is well, sitting at a screen now that has the ATT ready2go - is this where I do the battery pull?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badsteve:
Did a Titanium batch restore - messed up the phone. Re-flashed and is OK.

Still having some issues. Only getting 4G, no LTE and I get a message that says "this home screen is full". When it is not.

So far this is a bit buggy at best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
So a question for everyone, what are your APN settings after this? Mine was an ancient APN and I had to reset the APN's to default then I got the LTE pta APN back. Helped my data speeds a lot.

Also, I kinda got wifi hotspot to work. I opened ultracfg, enabled force tethering on, rebooted. Then when I enabled wifi hotspot, the popup to check for tethering plan appeared, I just hit cancel and went back to the home screen. My wifi hotspot worked but I'm afraid that AT&T may be able to detect it so I didn't leave it on long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Cool story, we already know this. It's a leak that just came out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
You should be good to go

Try resetting your APN's. I'm in a non-LTE area but it gave me the LTE apn back. Should fix that. Which launcher are you using? Also did you darkside wipe after Titanium restore before reflashing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] moks3:
Just download quick boot from market. I can restart without lock ups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xedous:
I can confirm that resetting APN gives you LTE. I had to restart my phone before I saw the LTE icon though. I still have power/restart issues with the power button, but I use a Quickboot app that resolves this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dee Hos:
i cant seem to find the lte settings anywhere, can you just post them in this thread cause everyone that flashes this is going to need them as well...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
Just reset APN's to default. Should give you LTE settings. I updated instructions in OP to include APN reset and market link to quickboot

encountering the home button issue, tried the factory reset + dalvik cache wipe multiple times w/out luck .. any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
Darkside wipe and restore the backup again. Then factory reset and wipe dalvik. then reboot. That should fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xavier6303:
I fixed my home button (i think) by switching from apex to tw then back to apex and then I changed the home button actions and it magically started working for me. I also used titanium (not batch but individual restore) to restore and remove select apps and Im going strong.

thanks for all the work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dogblood:
before doing the darkside wipe - I tried wiping the dalvik and doing another factory wipe from cwm and it worked.. weird!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dee Hos:
yes, confirm that restoring single apps in TiBu works as long as you dont hit (open) on the app after, before it restores data, if you do, it stays at restoring data forver and you must force stop the app..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] novastar:
Realizing that this is a completely noob question I'll ask it anyway. What's the benefit of having a deodexed rom? I've Googled the subject but it gives me weird answers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kifac:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

incoming calls

sorry if someone asked already but is anyone have issues receiving incoming calls? i can place a call (to my work cell phone) and it works fine, but when i dial from my work cell to my skyrocket it goes right to voicemail. i checked the setting and it's only set to forward if the line is busy, etc - not for all calls.

everything else seems to be working fine (send receive texts, wi-fi, internet, market, etc). i didn't odin the ics leak so i don't have the baseband/modem but i thought this would still work without updating from a gb rom first. i'm on at&t if that matters since this is a rogers nandroid. thanks for any suggestions.

edit- forgot to say i followed the instructions in the op. factory wiped twice after doing the restore...etc

Wifi Hotspot Tethering?

Is it possible to use the TiBu method of freezing the TetheringManager.apk to enable hotpot tethering with this ROM? I had not seen it mentioned throughout the thread and tethering is a deal breaker for me, and a lot of others I would assume.

lol these builds are bugged man. After wiping and all I got er running and its a nice taste. I'm all for testing and such (gimme fc and all I'm game) but it is really annoying little things that are killing this for me. After a few hours bam all my apns were wiped and wouldnt allow me to save. Wipe cache and dalvik poof they re back. Lol its like we need to wipe every few hours on these roms. And the market forget about it. Errors all over the place. Again wipes, clearing data or removing and re adding gmail fix it but its crazy. No complaints here just letting people know. Also rogers users will have the 4h delay time stamp issue on their sms. You can fix it but just saying :) Besides that I love using chrome and Boid (twitter). Oh and gtalk is da bomb on ics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:

My thoughts exactly. Fingers crossed! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xedous:
I had some issues at first. Here are some things I did to resolve my issues...

1. LTE not working - Reset APN and restart phone

2. Market not working - Factory reset (worked first time)

3. 14 Toggle not installing - mount system and data in cwn and flash

4. Home button not working - Factory reset until it works (worked first time)

I also did a batch restore from TB and only selected programs that couldn't possibly already be on the phone and I have had no problem.

The only issue I have left, is powering down/rebooting from the power button. I just use the toggle bar or quick boot to bypass this issue.

It takes a little massaging, but its my daily driver now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taylrjones:
Hmm. I'm not sure about this one. I have no issues receiving calls. Perhaps someone else using your baseband can confirm if its an issue with that baseband and this rom?

The only other thing I can suggest is extracting it with the computer, perhaps root explorer doesn't like the rar. I'll PM you a link to download from my server just to make sure the download is 100% not the issue.

Played with this last night, coming from TPC GB. Would not get past ATT boot logo after 20 minutes, so rebooted. Saw "updating" and "installing" screens, and ran the Apex launcher. ICS was smooth and quick, but I did have some problems:

Could not get the home button (and search button, I think) to work, no matter what I did - multiple factory resets, did darkside wipe and ICS restore again, wiped Dalvik, switched launchers, nothing would get it to work.

The market did update to Play and worked fine, but later would FC (possibly because I did restore a couple of apps with Titanium Backup?)

So, I wiped and restored my TPC nandroid, which went fine, and am back on GB for now.

Will try again this weekend - may do the Odin method.

Question - If I do the Odin upgrade, will I be able to restore my TPC nandroid, if I have a problem with ICS?

So my phone lost connectivity yesterday around 5pm. I though nothing of it at first, but then a few hours later it still was not able to connect to any mobile networks. I am unable to call, text or do anything with data for that matter. I tried the sim in my old trusty G1:p and everything worked.

I called tech suppport and they refreshed my sim. I went through all of there troubleshooting non sense. The verdict? Warranty exchange...but wait....they are out of stock and have no estimated time of when they will be available.:(

Has anyone else heard of a phone suddenly losing all ability to get on a mobile network? I have been on the internet researching the issue for hours now and have tried everything I have come across, but no luck.

1. Left the battery and sim out of the phone overnight

2. Numerous airplane mode toggles

3. Connecting headphones

4. Phone Info menu and turning radio off/on + trying different radio settings

5. Reflashing radios

6. Flashing different roms

7. Odin back to stock 2.3.6 with wiping of everything
