[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
So i got the intall from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2178402

Wiped dalvik 3 times, wiped cache, formatted system and data.

Then i had to edit the updater-script to remove the first line. After i have done that the rom installed.

After rom installed i installed gapps without doing a restart.

After restart the phone is stuck on the logo show. (Pacman and 3 ghosts + samsung) The animation on the logo is goign so i gave it some time and it never boot up. Tried pulling the battery and another restart, still no go. On my second try i installed the rom without gapps thinking it might have caused the bad boot but it's suck again. Can you guys point me in the right direction? The phone doesnt give any feedback of what is going wrong.

I727, update from sky ICS(june), kernel 3.0(if i remember correctly)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
I have tried looking through google and xda forums for the answer and sadly i didnt find anyone with the same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
Ok so i have installed newest sky ics again and the install wasnt a problem at all + everything ran fine. Then i went to update clockwork mod, downloaded the original pacman(the one with the line intact) reinstalled without gapps and still no go. I cant figure our the deal with this rob. Even tho im not a rom developer myself i have a strong programming background and i attend an IT college right now. Here's my 2 cents to the developer of PACMAN for Skyrocket.

1st thanks for all you hard work.

2nd. please make indicators during the install to see how is the progress going because right now it's like installing and then sucessfully updated. 3rd first boot should be console boot to indicate what is blockign the freakign rom. I spent my whole day trying to figure this out and noone would help + the app has absolutely no feedback for the user to trouble shoot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Lol its not the ROM mate. Hate to tell you but its not also bootlooping on install is a common issue for some of you so my guess is you are not searching with proper terms.

Here is your bone: wipe cache and dalvik from recovery if its boot looping like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
Hey thanks for replay. When i tried to format cache the phone just said it's formatting and stayed there untill the screen went black and restarted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Something else is wrong then what recovery are you using and what version and where did you get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
Im using CWM R 6.0.1.4 and i got it from rom manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Switch to sk8's in the dev section or twrp never rely on ROM manager for anything on this phone. That still doesn't explain why your phone would reboot while wiping cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mcpeter:
I have switched to twrp and it looks more advanced. I have tried to do a cache wipe and the twrp hang too. It seem like i cant access the cache E: patiotion. When i try to save logs from the phone i get:

Finished running boot script.

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_install

E:DataManager:; Output_version -- Unable to make

Copied Recovery log to /sdcard (Note the sc card wasnt even in the phone at the time of this)

Also when i tried to do a first dalvic wipe i got the same errors but after the first one i get the wipe complete message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
What are you trying to do right now? You probably had a bad download of pac man when you first started. Did you check md5 checksum? Now you don't have external SD card in? Its hard to help when not clear what you're trying to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocketeer:
Wrong section, and you shouldn't use anything from ROM manager like mtdew said

switch to twrp and try again

Sent via Samsung Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
1. Copy Pacman rom on external sd card.

2. Use latest Twrp and boot into recovery and select 'wipe'

3. Wipe cache, dalvik, Factory reset, system & internal storage.

4. Go back to main twrp screen and select install.

5. Find rom on and External card and install.

You should have no problems. It is a great rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuckyColdJohnson:
I just went from rooted TW stock to a CM Custom ROM and YouTube videos are not loud enough. Is it because Samsung base sound drivers are better? How can I make it louder? Would beats or any other mod work? Is there something on the play store? Any input is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
Buy volume+ from the play store and use the volume boost. Careful and don't blow out your speakers though. ;)

i have samsung galaxy s2 international version (gt i9100), i didn't liked s3 so i didn't buy it now s4 is an announced and it will be available in few weeks should i upgrade to s4 or not??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
it's a big upgrade from the galaxy s2 so if your not interested in another phone like Htc one or sony xperia Z then you should get it , i know i will :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
My note n7000 has some juice left in it so i will wait for a note 3 and youm technology.If its size fits me well then i will get a note. If note3 is any bigger than 5.9 i will simply downgrade to 4.99. Though i love my notes 5.3 display.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntrinsik:
In the same boat.. Have the i9100 and skipped the S3. Debating between the S4, One and Z..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
You should definitely update. S2 is yesterday's news. Which phone to upgrade to is your decision to make.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Source Project:
Definitely upgrade bro. The s2 is old news now. Two generations behind. I'm going to upgrade from an HTC One S.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyada1988:
If you are interested in the Samsung's technolog in S4, I think S4 is a great upgrade. HTC One or Sony Xperia Z are also another options, but my suggestion is choose S4 if you decide to upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
What was it about the S3 that you didn't like? And what does the S4 have that makes it desirable over the S3? I'm sure if you answer this you'll have your answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghwong:
I owned Xperia Z currently, has been using HTC flagship phones (Sensation/One X) also have S3.. I will be getting S4 for my wife haha...

I have a very bad experience with HTC after sales service.. might not be returning to HTC anymore.. The fool me twice..

Bought two flagship phone and was downgraded the flagship status after a few weeks owning it..

Tried Xperia Arc before now using Z, UI wise is not as nice as Sense and TouchWiz.. but acceptable with less rubbish...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slpaige:
I would definitely consider the upgrade if I was you. My wife has an s2 and the s4 is a massive upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DruidXL:
Maybe not

I am using a HTC Sensation from 2 years ago, and I find the phone still able to meet most of my needs (except for the battery time :crying:). I am not a crazy app user, but I do use some essential apps like camera, IM, evernote, forum, and occasional gaming as well. The phone is definitely slow compared with S3, Note 2, but does it bother me enough so i want to change my phone? NO.

I say unless you have heaps of extra cash that you don't care much for the cost, then upgrade; otherwise you can still get a good 1 - 2 years out of your S2 (which is a better phone than my sensations)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cammykool:
how about comming from an S3
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1337RYoN:
Coming from S3, not really worth it IMHO. Most of the S4 software features will be coming to S3 in an update soon. But if you have a 2011 device like me, definitely worth it. It's a massive leap
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducksauce88:
coming from an S3...meh...I bet all of the gesture options could be available through hacks in the near future. So some people might not want to because it isn't that much of an improvement other than software. That being said, I'm the type of person that flocks to the best screen available. M personally, I would upgrade just because of the screen itself. :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdstheking:
i bought s2 and after few months samsung announced s3 so at that time i didn't liked s3 very much bcoz of its design at that time and now after 15 months of use i need a change and s4 is only choice as i love samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
I hear ya. I have an S3, and just the other day went to T-Mobile and played with the Nexus 4. Oh man that screen is so much nicer. I don't think I'm gonna stick around with Samsung screens anymore. I'll see what the S4 is about, but if its anything remotely similar to the S3 its done. IPS LCD is so nice and bright. Makes me sad to look at my blue tinted S3, even though I'm using a custom AOSP ROM with a color fix for the screen, still not the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenon13:
I can't decide between the S4 or HTC ONE >.<

(I currently have the Galaxy S 4g, which is like 3 generations old xP!!)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Coming from the S3 I was sure to upgrade to S4 but finaly I bought a Note2:silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawBott Bigg:
Depends on which phone you currently have now. Coming from an S3 or note 2, nope.

By the end of the next week I will be in London. I have seen on the web a lot of people with their HTC One and the most of them said that it was available in physical store like p4u, carphone and so on, SIM FREE...Is it true?

If it is, please can you address me where to buy it?

THX!

One of my friends went to Phones4u - Camden Town yesterday, and the guy told him that HTC One is not even released yet !!

I went into 3 different p4u physical stores yesterday and they didn't have any in stock. Guy took my phone number and name, told me he would call me when stock arrives! Just got a phone call today saying they have some in stock in the physical stores but im annoyed because I won't have time to pick it up this weekend :( will have to get it next week.
[One (M7) General] asci:
Please can you be more accurate? Is it sim free? Where did u get it?

Please can you specify in which store?

THX!
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
These were p4u stores in South London. He told me that the stock has arrived in many p4u stores around London so I can now pick it up from anywhere I want.
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
T-Mobile UK. Rang 'em up, did a deal, phone will be here ASAP.

Could have collected in store but couldn't be arsed.

So glad I waited it out and I didn't buy a Nexus 4.

[One (M7) General] dreadnought001:
I went into a P4U shop in Sheffield today and they had a dummy model on view. I asked if they had any real ones to show me so I could see the interface, the guy went round the back and said they had them in stock (and showed me one in its box) but they couldn't sell it until the 24th!
[One (M7) General] hongsit:
P4U Croydon has them and can sell them £490. But the other P4U in whitgift centre also has them but not allowed to sell them sim free. But it's £460 there. Still thinking about it. Shall I? :).

Really an odd sistuation. It happened to me the same when I tried to buy a sim free iP5 from Carphone.

So would it be possible to have a list of phisical stores where it is possible to buy a HTCOne SIM FREE in London? Not only P4U of course...

It would help me...but not only me.

Great! Why did you have to wait for one hour?
[One (M7) General] tony 7:
I went there myself yesterday and was tempted only because I love my gadgets but deal wasn't very good. I was only able to buy on contract not PAYG and on T-Mobile. I was not allowed to take phone back if my signal was no good, yes they can check my postcode but it might not be any good where I work etc.

£41 unlimited txts, unlimited calls, free phone and 3GB data that is what I was offered. I have ordered one on PAYG from their website which will arrive next week sometime. Cant wait. I will trade in my S3 to cover the cost of the HTC one.

Incidentally the person at the Northampton store told me they had 5 in stock well 4 as your friend took one. I used to have the HTC OneX which I loved but battery was poor which is why I switched to S3 after having the S2 but now days there are a lot of good external chargers available to charge up your device.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Mate had to cancel an online order and just the paper work for a new contract took like forever.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

I ordered one online earlier, sim free variant and selling my Lumia 920 and Surface RT which pretty much covers the entire cost of the phone, I was going to try my luck getting a sim free one in store but the chances would be very slim as they looked to only be selling them on contract only.
[One (M7) General] asci:
R: HTC ONE UK available in physical store?

OK it seems that the HTC One will have a further delay, about 15 days (first half of April). Is there someone that can prove the availability in p4u phisical store?

I don't know about this further delay but I walked into a p4u store on Monday and picked mine up :D

[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Could u take a look at the thread where you posted about your battery life, thanks :)
[One (M7) General] hongsit:
Replied... I also note from your pictures that you haven't got great reception. Not sure is that always the case where you live/work, but that will impact battery life. I have full signal in London and at home I have Sure Signal, so apart from my train journey it doesn't struggle for reception and therefore saves a bit of power.

BTW which P4U did you go into? I went in the one at North End (Not the whitgift centre one). Was you on contract or sim free. The fact that I got charge £490 and was previously displayed for £460 has peed me off a bit.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
I always get weak signal here... Always 2 bars or 3 most of the time on 1 bar. Yeah I know about the weak signal causing battery drain but that's something I cant fix. Outside I get full bars as expected. I went into the whitgift centre p4u, I got it as an upgrade. No upfront payment but have to pay £5 extra a month. However the £5 extra means I get extra minutes and data.
[One (M7) General] asci:
R: HTC ONE UK available in physical store?

Mission failed. My contact in London went to four different p4u stores in London and one in Cambridge but the answer was always the same: available with contract only. :(
[One (M7) General] Scootmien:
I phoned five different Phones4U stores near me today and asked them the same question. They said that if they had them in stock then I could have one and they are not restricted to contracts only. I wonder if this is policy from store-to-store, rather than from central office?
[One (M7) General] asci:
R: HTC ONE UK available in physical store?

I can't say it. My contact in London phoned me telling that he had it in his hand (grrrr!) but he couldn't get it without contract. This is the raw reality!
