[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
OK having some really frustrating issues. I installed 6.10 to hopefully alleviate issues I was seeing on 6.8. I followed the OP instructions to a tee also wiped internal storage. I installed 6.10 then installed the 6.11 update then installed the modem and rebooted. The phone booted up fine and all was well. I installed most all of my apps and everything was extremely better than 6.8. This was several days ago. So today my phone was almost dead so I pulled the battery and put my extra battery in that was fully charged. Booted the phone up and it was stuck on the Samsung logo. So I rebooted again and it got to the boot animation and froze wouldn't go any further. So I restored my Nandroid of 6.8 to get my phone working again at work. When I got home I completely wiped and reinstalled everything again. The phone booted up great so I start doing everything you do when you flash a new rom to put everything back to normal. I first updated SU and that worked fine. So then I went to TiBu and it asked for root rights and I gave it. Then it gave me the normal device ID has changed so I told it to revert to the original which is what I did before when the ROM ran for several days no problem. But this time when it rebooted I got the same damn thing stuck on the Samsung logo won't go any further??? I am totally bewildered and don't know what to do at this point? This rom was smoking good compared to any prior Embryo ROMS I have run and I just want it to work again. Anybody have any advice as to what might be the problem???

I'm not completely sure but it might be a stuck power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I don't think it is a stuck power button, because I had that issue and had it repaired. Yes our I727 power buttons are known to short out, it is about a 30-40 $ part. Basically if your power button is stuck, what will happen generally is, the phone will boot to the splash screen and then keep vibing over and over and over after that, like its trying to power on.

How about you turn off your phone normally, using power off / holding the power button, would be my suggestion. I have never once needed to physically pull the battery out of the back of my phone, while the phone is still on. I have a different 'not liked' method to installing the ROM but it has never failed.

I am not sure the state of your phone, clean up your internal / external (not that, that should matter) and do a fresh install of 6-10 then 6-11. Don't use TiBu to restore apps, log on the google play store via pc, and redownload them all from scratch. Get everything setup nice and mint, and then make a nandroid. That's just my suggestion. There could be some variables there that may be giving you issues. The ROM and any previous Embryo ROM I can't say I have had issues. I ran into the one when 7 was posted, but that is only because the upload / download was messed.

Anyways hope that helps. I perfer 6-11 over 7 still, for now. Almost want to go get a SGS4 just so I can keep going with mohan and his awesome work. I still may when the GE edition drops, I will look at the prices then, or after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
Well after reloading several times which included wiping everything it is back working again. But I am concerned why it did this and if it will do it again? Time will tell.

Well it held steady for a few days and then I started getting random reboots and it would boot loop when it rebooted. I had to reflash the rom to get it to boot again and it ran fine for a couple more days and then today it just crashed while sitting idle in it's holster. I went to use the phone and it was in a boot loop frozen state. I could not get it to come back even reflashing the rom again would not work. So I tried restoring the latest nandroid i did and that too failed? So i went back to an earlier 6.10 nandroid and that one was successful. But I had to reinstall a bunch of stuff etc. which was getting pretty tiresome after weeks of dealing with this. I am really bummed because this rom was absolutely the best one of Mohan's i have run when it wasn't acting up. I read and re-read the OP and followed the instructions to a tee many times and completely wiped everything several times and still ended up with random reboots and boot loops. I did notice that when i would try to reboot the phone using the power button and selecting restart it would sometimes reboot and other times it would boot loop.When I used the reboot recovery option and then restarted from TWRP 2.5.0.0 it seemed to reboot fine??? I carry an extra battery with me as i have never gotten awesome battery life and i need my phone for work so I have gotten quite used to just pulling the battery out and putting in my fully charged spare battery which is a Samsung stock battery. But when I did that with this rom all hell broke loose. Really is a shame because I want to run this rom badly but I can't deal with the unreliable nature of this rom on my phone so I Odinned the stock 4.1.2 and rooted it. Sounds like there are many issues with Embryo 7 so that won't be a road I am going to go down at this point. Just want a phone that stays working for more than a week without having to reflash and reinstall reconfigure everything. At this point I can do it in my sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
I try to review things I buy or use to better the community/development so that being said, no whining here just an opinion.

Pros:::::

- Looks very nice.

- Lots of customization.

- Very stable. This is the only 4.1+ ROM I've tried that hasn't had random crashes or reboots in a week of running.

- Comes with lots of functionality build in so the user may run it 'out of the box' without much extra work needed.

Cons:::::

- Extremely slow in comparison to other CM ROMs. I don't have any performance charts but even after trying many different settings my phone continued to feel like an outdated smart phone through regular basic use.

- Battery killer. I flashed this a total of three times with full wipes in attempts to fix the issue but the phone was constantly in wake lock.

- Minor/personal complaints: no delay on Lock option like CM10.1, and no quick settings tile menu under the status bar like 10.1.

The wake lock could potentially be something I was doing but I really don't think the lag was anything on my part. The lag wasn't tremendous but after running other CM ROMs it was very noticeable and frustrating. As a fellow coder(not Android sorry) I can understand the problems that can arise by trying to please the general crowd. Anyway this is still an amazing ROM and thanks for your work!

This isn't cm. Use error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiru:
What recovery are you using? If you are using TWRP, backup the preload as well. If your phone bootloops, get into TWRP and restore only the preload partition. This will get your phone booting normally again, but your phone will almost be guaranteed to bootloop again if you do a hard shut down by just pulling the battery. At least this way you can get the phone booting normally again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
I think a lot of this is based on your experience. Send we all have different experiences with every Rom. I messed with all the performance settings and I hit 10200 on the antutu benchmark. I know that didn't have real world value, but when comparing one Rom to the next it gives you a pretty good comparison. You getting bigger than that on cm by chance?

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Most likely just a bug and it won't happen again. Sometimes the wipes miss something and wiping and flashing again fixes it. Glad you're unstuck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MikeySmikey:
Also, I noticed in your status bar, when it's pulled down you have the time in the upper left corner where mine does not. Is there a toggle for that somewhere I'm not seeing?

Nevermind I figured it out. Having the clock in the center removes it when the status bar is pulled down.

I have added the UCLL3 (second JB leak) radio to the Embryo6 mirror. These are mirrors of the files mohan posted.

The mirror includes files with the MD5s for each file.

I can not emphasize enough that you should always check the md5 before flashing a file! This should be done after copying the file to your device.

Edit: Removed incorrect radio

Email Force Close Issue

The big problem I had was I kept getting an "email' force close issue. I believe this may be related to Rom Customizer because a tiny pop up notification (at bottom of screen) would often show up milliseconds before the email force close.

By the way, I do not (and never have) used the email app. I have never launched the Rom Customizer either.

I tried it a few times just to make sure I didn't have a bad flash, but got the same result each time. I use TiBu and restored only apps (no data).

When I went back to original mohan JB leak everything went fine.

Just wanted to give my feedback. Anyone else see this issue? Thanks!

I put both on external and flashed away in one session, no problem. Not sure why folks put anything on internal - I think I'm just out of the loop on something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tkjeeper:
I had issues with the last release, it was on external, everything was perfect except I could not for the life of me get the stock gallery working, got an out of space warning. So for this I put all 3 fines in internal, everything is perfect. Just my experience. I flashed all 3 in the same cwm session. Have had zero issues. Although I've never had a good signal with the newest modem. Hard to tell for me since I've been traveling.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
I agree. I have my Rom folder on my external and flashed #1 & #2 in the same flash session with no problems. I normally don't use the multiflash feature of TWRP, but I figured with the problem that was reported I should. I don't remember reading anyone doing it this way having problems with the flash. (On my phone so if there was someone I apologize). Maybe should be noted in OP if using latest TWRP to multiflash?? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
I haven't tried yet. Things perform fine once they open. I just noticed delay in launching simple things like the keyboard or changing screens on the pplay store. I'll run a test later.

To the person that said 'this isn't cm use error,' I thought I read somewhere that it was a mod of cm but I could easily be mistaken. Either way, what it's a mod of is ultimately irrelevant in my post.

Umm ok...sure. Have any proof to back that? I'm just curious because I've been building/deving!romming for about 6 years now and the benchmarks have been an excellent comparison from Rom to Rom. Very accurate for me. I'm hoping that there is more to your reasoning such as setups or device differences. Otherwise I'm going to politely disagree.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
To you, probably. I respect your opinion.To me they mean a way to compare, probably the only way to compare.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
The way to compare is how the Rom(kernel) performs while using it. The benchmarks don't really translate to real life performance, especially these phone benchmark apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
I don't disagree with that, I just like the fact that the test is identical no matter your setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
It's not identical though. Run the app with the same setup 3 times. You'll get drastically different results every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atrizzain:
I can concur on that one, I've seen it on this phone and my last one, a Captivate Glide (RIP). Differences were in the hundreds even when I ran multiple tests back to back. Sorry to butt in, just what I've seen with my own eyes.

I agree that as far as phones go benchmarks don't mean much. Also, I pulled about 9000 average with CM10.1.

This is a great ROM I just wish it had working wifi calling as that feature is a MUST for me. Also, I REALLY REALLY like the screenshot keys mapped to Power + Vol Down. <-- how did you do this!? I would love to duplicate that on stock JB for T989 (that has wifi calling)

boot looping - cannot get into TWRP to flash recovery

Long story - short version

I've been running Embryo 6.x for over a year. I stuck with version 6.4 for most of the time but I starting having issues with it a few weeks ago so... I wiped and flashed 6.9 then 6.10 and 6.11 updates. I started getting the boot loops like everyone else so I downgraded to 6.6 (by wiping again and flashing 6.6).

Since then; I've been getting random boot loops but... I could boot into TWRP and flash the preload recovery and it work start working again (for a while).

However, this morning it started boot looping again and I could not get into TWRP. The TWRP splashscreen would show up but then it would boot loop again. I finally got back into TWRP by removing the SDCard and SIM and I flashed the preload recovery but a few minutes later, it started boot looping again and now I cannot get back to TWRP again. Same issue; I see the TWRP splash screen but then it boot loops.

Suggestion?

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

Ok - I finally got into TWRP and I restored the preload and back into the ROM (for now).

Can anyone tell me how to completely get rid of these boot loops?

Do I need to return to stock then choose another ROM?

Can I just wipe everything and return to an earlier version of Embryo (like 6.4)?

Like many others, I hate to leave Embryo but I just cannot have another issue like today.

Thanks in Advance!

When I keep having the random reboots with stock UCMC1 I ODIN'ed it again just to make sure the flash was good and I then went into the stock recovery and did a Factory Reset 3 times and wiped the Cache 3 times but I couldn't find a way to wipe the Dalvik Cache in the stock Recovery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bradthemarsh:
Any time I ever have GPS issues I just use "GPS status". It's free on the play store. I go to tools - manage AGPS - reset.

Then when you close GPS status and open it again, it should fix it all up, sometimes takes a couple minutes, depending on where you are, weather, etc. Best to be outside, and KEEP THE SCREEN ON WHILE SEARCHING FOR SATELLITES!
