As Rushing said, you might be stuck at the 4G screen. So just battery pull or hold power button till it vibrates and then it should be fine. Otherwise you might have not done a full wipe

Hopefully you got it working!

This is going to be whining... so your original download from the 8th is messed up. Crashes on phone dialer. The 9th you "de-bloated" works... Was the one from the 8th updated and "fixed" (from reading the dialog on previous pages)... Sounds to me like i wont make this mistake again. I was desperate to try JB and can't ODIN on my phone anymore because of hardware problem (messed up USB)...

Thank you for the attempt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
The 9th was a reupload of the 8th with some play store fixes and some debloated stuff. The 8th is completely stock and worked only for some people so I left it there.

Thanks for the reminder though, I'll add that to the second download

Thank you for the reply and understanding. A good reference for getting into the volunteer work your doing can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228486 . it's a bit overkill... the thing to look at is his version control of his release. If you have a questionable release that can be established as having an issue (Example, missing an application), it's best to remove that release and re-upload with the correct version and stating its been corrected/updated with the date.

Again, I am really impressed and thank you for your response. It's refreshing to find someone doing the thankless work, taking a complaint, and working to improve. You rock. :)

This stock rom was working great for three days, then it got stuck on the loading screen and wouldnt boit. Had to do another total wipe and start from scratch this morning :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rkwarner2:
Besides the darkside cache wipe at the end, this is what I did. Froze on the first boot, so I went back to recovery, did the cache wipe, and let it sit for like 20 minutes. (I didn't mean to but I was in a good conversation) Everything worked fine. Very fast, smooth, had the play store.

BUT, I was missing the Email app. It was in the /system/app folder, but had 000 file permissions. Then, I found that the root didn't work, so I couldn't change it. That's been my only problems.

Anyone else seeing this, or similar?

Thanks!

PS: only about 8 pages in on the thread so if the solution is further in, I'll find it. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
koragg would it be okay for me to use your 4/08 build for a custom rom? I have been working on it since it came out

and i have a nicely tweaked stock that is acting very stable and i would like to share it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
I don't think the rom is quite properly rooted, any minor change seems to break root, if you let twrp fix root from trwp it it won't boot again but you can reapply root from supersu and it fixes itself as long as the phone is booting.

I've tried to pre patch ripple, four way boot, and tether into the rom but even altering the zip renders root broken so it will not boot.

trying to flash anything over the rom risks breaking root again and you are left with a non booting phone again.

None of this may actually be a root problem but whatever it is it's the common source for all the problems people are having with it.

@Koragg618

This is an awesome rom

! I have been loving the stock build and all the bloat!

Have you talked with one of the other dev's (Rushing for example) to see what he did to get his rom rooted and flashing well?

I don't intend that to sound as jackass as it does, I just flashed his latest and it is indeed rooted, flashing and booting properly! I still prefer the totally stock and stock debloted with the flash-able addons like ripple four-way boot tether that you have put together it's like a build your own shop :good:

Keep up the great work on this!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
I have not had any of those issues, i have been using and modifing the 4/08 base since it came out, i updated supersu with no issue, and even busybox. and im in the process of adding the 4 way reboot now.

i think the main issue is people wiping cache and dalvik after the rom is installed, this seems to be a widespread issue and i think someone said it had to do with the preload symlink. i plan to do some testing to see if the whole preload symlink folder can be phased out.

but for the most part this has been a very 100% stable base for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Yup I think I'd have to start off from scratch and see about it.

Yup never heard of that issue, probably will restart fr scratch.

If you'd like, but some people have problems with it, unless you can fix it :D

I guess I'll talk to them then :P

I'm not really a dev so yeah, I don't know what's happening but I'm guessing its the program I'm using (that's why I'm not really a dev, but I'll put it together manually then :good:

As I've said, I'm not a dev and I followed a program's instructions son it might be the automated process, but hopefully I can get it fixed :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
well the rom is doing fine for me, but i havent tried flashing any zips ontop of the rom, when you say you used the kitchen was it in cygwin or linux? we may have some kind of uppercase lowercase issue if cygwin. (i may be way off here pullin way outta my azz.)

at least i kept track of my changes, ill install ubuntu and the kitchen and try and rip it again. im a little new to this as well, I'm not an official dev, but i can follow some pretty advanced guides because ive been working with computers since 93, ive also kept my own personally used roms up to date for myself for several years now. Ill let you know anything i figure out.

Thank you very much for your hard work though. you are an inspiration.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yassir5505:
Didn't work had sooooooo many FCs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
thats because:

1. you didn't wipe before you flahed it.

2. bad download

3. you did something after the flash that wasn't "reboot system"

once it boots and settles in sign in to your google and let the phone sync.

( I find this works better if you skiip wifi setup and use data instead the phone will restore the wifi settings when it syncs with google and then update the phone via wifi but if you connect to wifi first it appears to have some kind of radio wifi war and the phone sync doesn't complete properly for me)

when its done run superSU and update the binary when propted (the normal update, not through recovery)

you might also want to install busybox installer and replace the built in busybox (pay attention to the install location it defaults to xbin and you want to replace the original one in bin)

I have also noticed that programs with root privileges that can reboot the phone to flash their own scripts or files can easily break the phone, has something to do with the recoveries breaking symbolic links and the new preload folder blah blah blah there is more about this elsewhere...

The last app that soft bricked me was TopNTP, a gps config editor and it's not very friendly to this rom so don't do it!

So be careful what you flash in recovery and what apps you let reboot the phone and update in recovery!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yassir5505:
I did 1 and 3 idk if I downloaded it wrong I'm going to delete mine and redownload them and try again thanks

One more thing..

Do I flash ROM then radio or do I flash ROM reboot then flash radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
I wouldn't flash anything extra until after you have setup the phone and updated SuperSU.and busybox

You can flash the radio first too, there isn't a radio in the rom...

Use Jamison904's cache wipe instead of the built in cache/davilic wipe functions in recovery

and his superwipe (factory reset) before you flash.

just be sure you don't wipe or flash anything after flashing the rom, reboot system immediately and let the rom do it's first time setup!

Keep Getting Stuck

First off thank you for the Stock ROM, I'm kinda burnt on all the 4.2.2 unpredictability. But now I'm facing a different challenge. Followed your directions. It froze at the 4g splash screen so I rebooted. It went past the 4g screen and got stuck at the SAMSUNG splash screen. I left it there and about 10-12 minutes later it booted. I was setting it up and in the middle of everything it rebooted; first stuck at the SAMSUNG screen and now stuck at the 4g splash. I have rebooted 3 times. Any ideas?

Google+ error -24

Hello,

I have this rom on my phone and love it the only issue I have is I can not install Google+, I get and error -24. I have talked with Google support and tried every thing they said, the email they sent me is that there is something wrong with my phone and I need to contact samsung.

Keep in mind this is the only app that I can NOT install.

This is what I tried.

Day 1

1. Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications

2. Tab over to "All"

3. Select the Play Store app, and then tap "Clear cache" and "Clear data"

For the Download manager:

1. Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications

2. Tab over to "All"

3. Select "Download manager," and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"

For unmounting and remounting the SD card:

1. Menu > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card

2. From the same menu, touch Remount SD card

3. Reboot your device

Day 2

1. Go to "Home" > "Menu" > "Settings" > "Applications" > "Manage applications"

2. Touch the "All" tab

3. Scroll down and select the Play Store app

4. Touch "Uninstall updates"

This will revert Google Play to the original version that came with your device. Google Play should automatically self-update to the current version within a few days - there's no way to permanently uninstall updates. However, you can perform the following steps to ensure the latest version of Google Play is updated properly:

1. Launch Google Play

2. Switch to the Home screen

3. Wait 5-10 minutes for the app to self-update

4. Re-launch the Google Play Store app

Day 3

1. First told to do the same thing as Day 1

2. email from Google support saying "looks like there's a problem with your actual device that's affecting the performance of Google Play" telling me to call Samsung.

Say what ?

Ive used all the good roms and allot of bad ones.

Ive learned that the best ones are stock.

Its simple. I can tweak i how I like Theres no extra crap like themes or ringtones or stuff that is in the menues to ruin the phones experience.

If I want extra stuff I can add that myself! And this rom allows me to do what I want.

It looks awesome. No ugly odd colors. No non working menus. No crappy Nav or Radio reception.

Its all good. So far.

And even works with CallRecorder!
