I only darkside cache wipe after I flash the ROM, only when needed, and only after the initial reboot and wait period (10 minutes not touching the device). If you are doing a darkside cache wipe prior to the initial reboot then maybe that is your issue. Just a thought. The only thing I did differently than the OP was run kernel cleanser after the initial darkside super wipe and before flashing the new radio and ROM. Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Might be it.

Sorry, not trying to go off-topic, but I've seen a lot of mention of kernel cleanse, but I don't see any links to it in any of TDJ's posts. Can I have a link please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:

2.1.2. and yes I always check MD5.

All I did which I've always have done is this

Factory reset on TWRP

M+S Kernel cleanser

TDJ Superwipe

Radio

Rom

(4 items on TWRP zip queue)

Pressed reboot system

Black screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbymokie:
strange, i've only run across that after restoring something i shouldnt have. i only use the cache wipe when necessary, not when flashing the rom. is yours hanging even on that first reboot after flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
2.1.8 is the latest, and they removed the format sd-ext option that was causing bricks. Sorry to hear about your phone.

what do you mean by kernel cleanse, it's something deal with the kernel which mean you have to do it in the kitchen right? I don't think you can just flash something then clean it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
Again, there seems to be a problem with the current release of ClockworkMod Recovery and ICS for T989. If you wipe the cache partition from the menu in CWM you will get reboot/shutdown hangs. Don't do it until the issue is fixed in CWM.

Ahh, ok didn't know about that and the new phone is on it's way and everything was backed up or on SD so it's fine, I'm just now waiting so I can flash to this rom :D

I really do want to use twrp as it has a hell of a lot of options but in my years flashing never have I've bricked a phone up until using this recovery so I guess I will be the oddball on the sidelines waiting.

But my wife says its still there all the time and its even started to annoy my prospective employers when I call to talk about jobs. I will try flashing v2 with full wipe and see what it does. I am using the T989DTLLE4 baseband and the kernel that came with v1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
I never EVER said I don't like TWRP but with your post count I expect a more mature and better understanding that we have a community of newbies and TWRP, if not used correctly, CAN and HAS once again bricked phones. Is it TWRP fault....NO....but if you read the last few pages you will see we have another victim.

Secondly do not put words into my mouth. In fact if you look at my signature I have made a video using TWRP and I use it myself but I consider myself experienced and I would NEVER recommend anything to a new person if the OP wasn't confident enough to suggest it. The problem is people such as yourself start saying "yeah flash this and flash that mod", "use this recovery and do that, it's fine I did it" but no one considers that every user and every phone is different.

To everyone: Follow the OP, do what it says, flash how it's meant to be flashed, stop trying to install this apk or flash this theme and everything will be fine. If you do decided to try anything out make sure you know what you are doing and how to undo it if it causes problems and don't post in this thread when you start having issues.

Personally I love Jorte. Its free on the market and has tons of options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
ivianny was using 2.1.2, and I believe 2.1.8 fixes all those issues, but that is another matter. I just had no idea what you were getting at earlier. You didn't explain yourself at all. You simply said "OP doesn't recommend TWRP, don't use it." If someone IS new, hearing this from you with no explanation might make them wrongly assume that this ROM isn't compatible with TWRP, and by that reasoning, other ROMs could be the same way. I just wanted to make sure no one makes any wrongful assumptions.

If you had explained that people need to read up and understand exactly what they are doing with TWRP, I would have said hey, that's cool! I certainly think people should read up before they do any of this stuff. But in this thread, you didn't explain that at all. If you had, I would have thought that was a very fair comment. Make sense?

Bottom line: you can use any recovery you want, but rule #1 of flashing is that you should read up and know EXACTLY what you are doing before you do it. Use the search function, but if you don't find your answer, never be afraid to ask. Even if you think you know, ask anyway if you haven't done it before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luperez:
I'm not sure what issue he's having but my phone has frozen a couple of times. The UI just doesn't want to respond. I can lock/unlock the phone just fine, but only to find a black screen. Task manager also reveals an almost-filled RAM. I super wiped, flashed rom, waited 10 mins rebooted and darkside cache wiped, so i know its not user error. Other than that, flawless, smooth rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jangst123:
Your correct, sort of, it worked perfect for people not doing stupid stuff. 2.1.8 has made it so it is harder to be stupid.

Works perfect for me, that's why you don't see me posting very often.

That and TDJ roms rock!

Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
I was getting that too, just keep trying. Server may be overloaded..

I now have an issue. I went into recovery, did the superwipes, went to flash radio (on the bottom of cwm) it says back menu button disabled and when I select "install zip from sdcard" the screen goes blank. If I hit power button or any soft keys, the menu lights back up. What can i safely do from this point???? I do not wanna brick my phone so I left it on the recovery page til further notice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vicvon:
Just reboot recovery. I have had that problem before. Not sure why it does that every once in a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
From top of OP:

*WARNING! I Am Not Responsible For Anything That Happens To Your Device*

I hold you completely responsible for what happened when I flashed this ROM.

I can't believe what it did. After flashing, and it finally booted up, it went to the homescreen, and everything worked flawlessly. Way better than stock ICS I tried. You rock.

Off hand question: I'm still on v1, and not one issue. It also does everything I need it to. Would I still need to updated to the newer versions, or can I stay here? I mean I know the newer ones have more tweaks, but I'm quite happy now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gear79:
Thats the problem, nothing happens. If i hit the vol+/- buttons I can scroll the menu. Soft buttons will hide the screen but move me up or down just like the volume. The power button will just hide the screen. Do you think I can just remove battery and reboot old push button way or would that create more issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:

None. I actually think it is more smooth then GB and I have not had any major issues. On my phone battery is better then GB 2.6

Only thing I've found is if I reboot to recovery and the charger is plugged in, it will reboot into download mode. Hopefully in the next release we could get an ics dialer with contacts.

Trying to see if it's even worth flashing a different radio seeing how the official rom will be released soon.

I just got home from work, downloaded rom, installed ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7, placed rom on sdcard, rebooted into CWM did a backup, flashed wipe, flashed rom, rebooted and my phone gave me the option to pick a launcher when reboot was done. Of course I did not touch it, waiting the 10 minutes at min sooooo to answer your question it should show you darkside galaxy logo, then "android" logo, then "installing applications" and last should be to choose launcher at which point your phone screen should shut off. The 10 min clock starts at that moment.
