Working fine for me also I used Vincom 2.6.3.0 for Odin and the zip file both with no problems .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I haven't had any issues with 2.6.3.0 either, been using it since it came out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] neptronix:
2.6.3

Did you flash 2.6.3 from Goo, or flashable zip, or odin?

My fails with 2.6.3 have been from Goo install. Will try the flashable zio and see if problem occurs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
Flashable zip. No offense to the Goo developers, but I just don't trust it. Unless they've changed it, it was never clear which exact recovery it was going to flash. The message was something like 'Samsung Galaxy S2', it didn't specifically say 'Skyrocket' anywhere, and I know there are lots of S2 recoveries, none of which will work on the Skyrocket, except the Skyrocket specific one. I prefer that if I brick my phone, it's my fault, not because I blindly trusted an app to do the right thing. Having said that, I blindly trust that TWRP does the right thing, but I haven't seen it not do the right thing yet....

seems slim jb4.3 users r having issues using 2.6.3.0, reboot issue after install, dont know how they installed twrp, goo odin or zip, i have installed cm10.2 multiple times.

so idk if 2.6.3.0 should be considered stable for cm10.2 based roms.

anyone else have issues and if yes how did u install 2.6.3.0

I had issues with bean stalk. Wouldn't reboot, got Samsung then black screen. Twrp 6.2.3.0 zip. Wiped caches, system, data, secure android. Had to odin to clear it up. Had the same boot issues after restoring cm10.2 nandroid, before Odin

Edit, twrp 2.6.3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
I'm using 2.6.3.0, installed through goo manager. Flashed slim 4.3, AOKP, and PAC with no issues. I've also restored nandroids made with this and the last version with 2.6.3.0 without issue. I never installed m4570d0n's (sp?) zip though, the preload test version. Did the users having issues use that before the latest official? I'm in no way saying that it's the issue, that guy seems to know his stuff, just trying to find a common denominator for a situation which may, in fact, end up being completely random.

slimbean dev prbassplayer is suggesting to its users to use cwm 6037, it seems the common denominator in the blsackscreen boot issue after installing slim is twrp 2.6.3.0, but not everyone installing slim w/twrp is having said issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I've flashed many Slim versions with different versions (at the time, latest) of TWRP without issue, but using v2.6.3.0 , I was stuck on the boot logo for over 10 min when flashing the new 4.3 release version.

I held power to reboot, wiped again, and re-flashed without any issue. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] neptronix:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
I used 2.6.1.0 for flashing beanstalk 4.3 and ran into the black screen on the first boot after flash. But the experience was similar to what dillfever says above. I let it for few mins and the boot animation started and normal progress continued.

Is there a flash able zip for 2.6.1.0 that someone can post? I'm having trouble with this and the AOKP 4.3 ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
tested twrp 2.6.3.0 (not to be confused w/2.6.0.3) on slimbean, hellybean, beanstalk with 'Moretz', cm10.2. all flashed fine, used gapps 08/13.

I installed twrp 2.6.3.0 multiple times either through odin or w/zip for testing and also between other versions of twrp and cwm for testing purposes. i never used goo to install twrp.

why am I doing this? making sure twrp 2.6.3.0 is combatible for all roms

to keep the stickies accurate and seeing why some users are having blackscreen after first boot or no boot at all when using cm10.2 jb4.3 based roms.

note: after using twrp I can not go back to cwm especially the non-touch version 6.0.3.7., I test a lot and its to slow/cumbersome using cwm.

procedure I went through:

full wipe>both caches, data, system

install rom

install gapps

rebooted

some roms take approx. 10-40 secs to have boot animation show up either on initial install or first reboot.

all roms booted

went through setup process if there was any

waited for screen shutoff then approx. after 2mins rebooted rom

opened some apps and and then waited for screen to go off.

then rebooted roms a few times each, all rebooted up successfully

redid wipes and reinstalled roms w/gapps and went through same procedures as above with same results

read devs install instructions regarding first install/first boot procedures

edit: ive been flashing cm10.2 roms since they came out, with the testing I did above which I repeated a few times for each rom starting from full wipe and my superlite roms I probably flashed the jb4.3 close to 100times and haven't had any issues, when I was testing superlite installations a few times boot was taking longer(black screen) depending on what sequence I was flashing the rom with such as gapps(full and sl) and my byo apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kabell4:
Vincom, awesome notes and I appreciate the diligence in testing. I did use goo, so I'll flash back to 2.6.1.0 and then up to 2.6.3.0.

I'm using Toyes' AOKP Unofficial which has been flawless along with your work. The ROM has installed fine, but will not restart on a reboot.

I'll report back soon. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Yep, I was one of those that had no issues with 2.6.3.0 installed through goo manager. That is, until last night. Slim wouldn't boot up. After many attempts to get it working, I ended up flashing another rom and had issues with it as well. I had to odin back to stock, re-root, flashed CWM from cvd, flashed Toyes' AOKP. All is working well currently. Hoping to be able to verify your results vincom, I'm with you that CWM is way too cumbersome... Or, maybe I'm just getting too lazy in my old age;)

Hi all,

I just wanted to update that after encryption of the phone, TWRP will not see the folders even after entering the pin...

I hope this is something that can be fixed, as it would allow me to use some corporate applications....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Thanks, this is a great post. Exactly what I was looking for. I know that 4.3 based roms WILL take longer, especially on first boot, because SELinux does it's thing, BEFORE boot animation can run. I suspect this is because the layer that boot gets to, to allow a script to run. (ie the small script inside a bootanimation.zip script) A script of course could be malicious so security has to run first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I was wondering though, does that include the second boot because when I install Beanstalk and reboot, the screen stays black until a minute later the boot logo appears. This happens with TWRP 2.6.3.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
I think he means that every time you reboot the boot logo is gonna take a bit to appear because of the selinux doing its thing. I'm on AOKP ROM and it does that. No biggie, just patients is needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Ok thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I tried each and every means possible to install TWRP 2.6.3.0, each time seemed to install fine, and ran fine, however I could never get a 4.3 ROM to reboot after it booted for the first time. Each time after initial install, I could setup the rom and all looked good. But If I rebooted, it would black screen after the Samsung logo and no matter how long I left it (20 minutes) would never come back. The black screen was LCD backlight on, but the LCD was blacking it out, so it wasnt off or sleeping.

The only way I was able to succesfully reboot a loaded 4.3 rom was when using the stripped down CWM from the CM 10.2 thread. Its a very minimal recovery but it worked and my 4.3 roms all reboot no problem now.

Just for kicks, I used that stripped down CWM to install TWRP 2.6.3.0 again,load it, factory recet as usual then load a 4.3 ROM... and now its works and I can no longer get booting it to fail no matter how I load TWRP (including goo).

This all leads me to believe that some process is happening when using the stripped down CWM that TWRP is not doing, as once I ran that CWM once, I can no longer get TWRP to fail. Coud it be doing something to the partition which remains after it is replaced?

-A final note on this, I was on CWM602touchv14.4.6 initailly. I had used Goo to initialize my TWRP download and install. Then all the other methods, often coming back to this older Sk8r CWM. I tried to recreate the scenrio b going back to this recovery and goo again to TWRP but its still workig so somthing has been changed on my device that is persisting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
how did you initiall install cwm

funny that by using cwm to install twrp 2.6.3.0 fixed it for you, I wonder if reinstalling twrp 2.6.3.0 with 2.6.3.0 would have the same results.

I have flashed so many recoveries in different combinations that maybe thats why I had no reboot issues.......very interesting, I wish someone could confirm this as this might be the fix for users that have a reboot issue w/2.6.3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I initially installed CWM by Odin, last year some time, used CWM to update 6 months ago. I did try using twrp 2.6.3.0 to install twrp 2.6.3.0 and that didnt help. I really think the new CWM for 4.3 did something to fix my partition, set a flag, something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
I installed cwm6037 for testing after I already installed twrp2.6.3.0, didn't have a reboot issue coming from twrp 2.6.1.0, idk why some users are having a reboot issue with jb4.3 roms but maybe your fix might help them as twrp's interface is so much better and easier to use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
I've never had CWM installed ever on my phone. I've got the bootloop issue with 4.3. I'll try this fix tomorrow and see if it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
So after installing, configuring, evaluating, and backing up the top 5 4.3 Roms using TWRP 2.6.3.0 with zero problems.... I accidentally restored my Pacman ROM backup which had been booted/configured prior to my fix and was exhibiting reboot black screen... And the issue came back. No matter what I did, I could no longer wipe and install any 4.3 Roms only now I could not even boot them after install, even after formatting all partitions except preload. I once again installed the stripped down CM CWM and now they all install flawlessly again, even using TWRP. So the problem can be contained within a backup oddly enough.

I was also having the same issues with loading cm10.2 on my gf's skyrocket for the first time. Flashed cwm from twrp 2.6.3 then flashed cm10. Rebooted. Rebooted to cwm. Reflashed twrp. Rebooted without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place but for whatever reason i lost access to my external sd. When I was done doing a back up, I rebooted, my internal sd card was gone so I restored a previous backup, thinking I had an issue a long the way. Once the older (yesterday) backup restored, internal sd was there but external was gone. Went into TWRP and anytime I clicked install TWRP would freeze on me but it would let me get into my backups on my external sd so I can't imagine it's completely gone...? Now I'm in mount but unsure what exactly to mount. The preselected partitions are cache, internal sd, and micro sd. I'm really sorry to waste anyone's time I just haven't been able to find any definitive answers and I don't want to lose everything.... Also, what happens if I select mount USB storage under the sd card section in Storage settings? Thanks guys for any help... If no one wants to, that's fine too! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
So I also experienced a momentary loss of my ext SDCard when flashing between recoveries trying to resolve the black screen reboot issue but I don't recall the specifics, only that I was using the latest 4.3 CWM recovery at the time and neither recovery or the running ROM could see it until I flashed TWRP again. These recoveries are really stepping on each other.

Mount USB Storage lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Thanks for your reply! Would you recommend doing your fix: flashing cwm then flashing a rom and gapps then flashing TWRP? Is that what helped you fix the sd card issue? Currently, I'm not having a black screen boot issue but I'm on 2.6.1, not 2.6.3.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I'm hesitant to say yes it will fix this for you, since I cant recall the exact conditions when my external SD disappeared. I had also formatted my internal SD about that time. Try reseating your external sdcard, installing the CWM 4.3 recovery, and then just reboot into your existing ROM. If its not back, then overwrite the current ROM over itself without wiping anything and try again. If it still isn't there, maybe go drastic and wipe reinstall and check again. Once good and all works, reinstall TWRP and all should be good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
BTW, please let us know your results regardless of which way you go. It will help the process of elimination continue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Did you ever sort this out? I'm on TWRP 2.6.1 but haven't had a mount issue yet...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Honestly, not really. I don't know why my SD wouldn't mount. I think something went wrong with the card itself like a corrupt file or something that wouldn't allow my phone to properly scan it. Needless to say, I had to reformat the card and wipe everything then it mounted , no problem.

I was on TWRP 2.6.3 for a while before I was on 2.6.1 and I had quite a few of the known problems with the newer version so after all that I've been on TWRP 2.6.1 with no problems (knock on wood)!

Dees _ Troy - Are there any plans to update TWRP to accommodate 4.4 on the Skyrocket - I know that it's now an older device - But there's at least one 4.4 Rom - Which fails to flash with TWRP....

This is NOT a request - ONLY a question ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phatboyj420:
@ SoCalHTCFuze

When you say stripped down CWM what exact version are you referencing, and can/will you post a link for the sake of clarity?

Thanks in Advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
He means the bare bones 6.0.3.7 version linked on this page. If you are using a 4.3 or better ROM, you *NEED* to use this recovery. If you don't, you are asking for trouble. What he means by stripped down is that it is the basic CWM, no touch screen, no fancy menus, just the bare bones necessary to flash the ROM. It's a bit painful, but it works, every time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
You guys realize you can compile it right. Omni has twrp source by default so anyone building for the rocket would have a recovery IMG of twrp.

Or sync it in cm should be something like /build/recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
i tried, i failed, will try again, maybe, anyone have/know the cl syntax but i think we're out of luck for cm11, but twrp 2.6.1.0 seems to be working fine with cm11 but not 2.6.3.0

from dees troy:

You can currently use Omni 4.3, Omni 4.4, CM7, CM9, CM10.0, CM10.1, and CM10.2 source code. First you'll need to sync whichever code base you're going to work with and get it all set up to compile. It is not recommended to use Omni 4.4 or CM 11.0 to build TWRP on devices that ship with a ROM < 4.4. Google changed the way that getprop works in 4.4 trees that makes getprop not work so assert commands in zips using older update binaries won't be able to assert properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
