After clean install, everything is working perfectly. No issues here thus far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Using any explorer with root--in fact, the ES file explorer that is installed--go up to system/lost+found. It's easier to delete the folder, because the files delete one-at-a-time. The system restores the folder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WhatzinyourphonE:
Been running it all day. And I haven't had a reboot. And everything is working now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] k20-:
Can you tell what exactly you did? Even with the recommended recovery in the OP, I'm still getting a boot loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
So I'm starting to think my phone doesn't like the new update lol. I decided to try again this morning and all I get is error 7 install aborted or when it does flash it never boots it just goes to the samsung logo then black screen. I have tried all ways to download from link , OTA & Goo.im app but all fail in some way. When I download from Goo it says MD5 sum is good so I'm lost lol. This all happens with both CWM 6.0.3.7 & Philz 6.10.3. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxthe:
I've had issues with any ROM past the 13-14th does the same which you describe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Downloaded ROM and flashed with latest Philz CWM (

Touch 6 v.6.0.4.5

) Now, I'm not sure if this makes a difference at all but the OP still has a slightly older gapps package to download. I've been using BaNkS gapps http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2 without any issues.

Maybe thats it? I have no idea but that's what I've been using/doing.

Edit: just to give as much detail as possible. Reboot Recovery - Wipe Data/Factory Reset - Clean to install a new rom. - Then I wipe Dalvik Cache. Install ROM - Install BaNkS Gapps.

2nd Edit: I see mlk mentioned Philz 6.10.3. Maybe something is up with the new version? I've been using 6.0.4.5 without issue. If someone wants to try it out and see if that's the problem...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
I just went and looked for the Philz version your talking about and I only see zip for version 6.07.9 and 6.10.3 and both do the same thing for me when I flash. Guess i'll wait to see what wantowan2 has to say about the no boot or reboots or until next update lol . Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
One thing you said, "...it just goes to the samsung logo then black screen" raises a big flag in my mind. That was exactly what happened to me; I waited through about three or four minutes of that "black screen," decided the ROM wasn't working, and started searching the board for a solution--and, after I had been searching for several minutes, my screen called my attention, and there it was, booting Beanstalk. So it was, literally, more than five minutes of impersonating a brick before it decided to set my mind at rest.

And, I'll bet that if you can outwait it, and it does boot, you'll find that your system/lost+found has been filled with junk files.

Hope you give it another try, and let me know if it does work for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Yeah this release is definitely a "YMMV". Checked my lost+found and its empty with, if anything, a quicker boot.

Not "gloating" by any means, so I hope that vibe isn't coming off. I want everyone to have it:D. Just odd. I'll see if I can find my philz cwm since that's what worked for me.

Edit: or if anyone can tell me how I can "Extract" it and post a link for it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxthe:
Mine showed the black screen. But I have that infamous green tint that some of the earlier model skyrockets had. You can tell when the screen is off basically. It would show samsung logo then sit there and flash, by flash I mean just turn itself off, then reboot itself and do nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
Well,

I just tried once more with Philz Touch 6.0.4.6 (6.10.3) - I formatted the SD card totaly, then copied the rom files over to a blank SD card.

Samsung logo appeared, then screen flashed for a second, and now I'm 8 minutes after - screen is still blank :(

That is a bummer...

with the previous version - I can flash w/o any issue.

In addition - any rom I try is doing the same thing (CM based) if the version is later than the 13th.

very strange...

I guess I'll have to restore my backup again...

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION] hey man, hopefully you'll see this lol. I've emailed & pm'd you about an issue my current device is having that I know you've dealt with here for Skyrocket. Hoping you could be of some assistance. Thanks!

Sent from my LG-D800
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Restoring nandroid at this point. I've noticed some of my apps don't work and just recently everything just imploded. After a couple of reboots it worked again but I think i'm better off sticking with the previous version until an update rolls out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
I restored back to the 13th,

Now everything is well

Hopefully there will be a fix to that issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I've tried multiple recoveries, and it is still a no go. I'll sit this one out and wait for the next update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
Same here I can wait till the issue is worked out :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bzzybfrm313:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dillfever:
Downloaded 225 last night with Philz latest recovery not ota and have had no problems at all except had to re-install supersu, other wise great ROM... oh 225-oc.....

Also I dirty flashed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
Installed and running fine. Dl from goo using dolphin, wiped system and caches, used philz latest.

SGH-I727 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Yes, doing full wipes is actually "the procedure" to follow. Not wiping data is a short cut and is not recommended. I have relaxed my view on this, for the time being, when using the ota. The framework for this type of backup transport has been in place or getting there for quite some time now. Eventually it will clean up, the dirty wipe and allow data to stay. Or, settings at least plus gapps.

Gapps was preserved at one point...hmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
So wait. You are having trouble in general? Or just using the ota? Manual flashing should be as good as normal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
For me I can flash, but I have a black screen after 20 minutes. Battery pull, no go, same with booting into recovery. Doesn't matter which recovery I use Philz, twrp, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
I tried OTA with full wipe clean install and just got reboots never booted just went to Samsung then reboot , as for manual flash I would get error 7 and when I did get it to flash it would do the same as OTA this was with CMW and Philz not sure why its not working for me lol as the 1/13/14 one gives no issues at all with both recoveries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Just from what I've read on the CM11 thread and here, I suspect that the no-boot, RR and other issues with the CM sources that have propagated to BS, through no fault of [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION]. I'm sure it will get sorted out soon.

We are lucky to have such a top-notch developer who knows his Android. After all, he did get video recording working on this for us, among many other fixes/patches/etc.

If I do venture to update from virtually perfect BS 4.4.215, it will be a manual dirty or clean flash. It was indeed mentioned that the OTA updater was a WIP. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WhatzinyourphonE:
I flashed this rom. With the latest twrp, I did get some failed attempts, but it flashed e eventually, and it's been doing great. Try waiting a while for the rom to boot after the first flash. It takes a little time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
A minor bug, not sure it is Rom related...

Look at the screen shot.

Temperature displayed is 294c....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Qawnman:
Is that with cLock ?

Mine is OK here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3sidual:
I've been using Philz 6079 and haven't had any issues. I've also been dirty flashing the last couple updates. The only issue I've experienced so far is that video recording was working in 4.4.215 with CameraMx but it's not working in 4.4.225. Other than that I've had no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
I don't personally run this ROM but I keep up with it.

I would say that your statement is isolated. You are one of few that have major problems with this rom. Maybe insight as to how your flash your roms and what steps you take would help.

If you are experienced at flashing, I do not recall you supplying logs to CvD so he can look into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
200 and 205 were both solid as rocks for me. I didn't fare well on 215. Couldn't get logs for the worst of my troubles 'cause I had to nandroid back to get out of bootloops. I'm happy to give 225 a whirl. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Well, with right around 2,000 cumulative downloads across the versions, I have yet to hear that it is unusable.

Please provide some constructive input and I'd be happy to look into it ...

How did you flash? Dirty, clean and which recovery?

What radio are you on?

Did you restore data from another ROM?

Can you provide logs?

Just some simple information beyond complaining is a touch more helpful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Just flashed. Love the boot animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
I never even pay attention to the boot ani. Just do other things than come back ten minutes later to set up my phone. Saw your post just as I was about to leave recovery and decided to actually watch the boot ani. I have to say it's pretty freaking cool.

Not cool is the process com.android.phone has stopped. lol I dirty flashed so I'll fix perms and see if that does it. If not I'll clean flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
OK, let me know how it goes. Try to grab a log cat (not kmsg) on it if it persists.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Dirty flashed too and had it shut down. On reboot caches must have got messed up. Had fc's on messaging, xda. I'm going to clean flash too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freestylejunki32:
Last I check the very first version of this rom that CvD built/ported was rock solid stable and based on 4.2.2. Learn your facts and provide useful feedback for people and be thankful the there are people willing to build awesome roms for our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
No go on fixing perms or reclearing caches. Runs just fine from a clean install. Sorry bro couldn't get a log this time. Got to much sh!te going on at the moment. So clean flash people or dirty flash and get CvD a log.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I'm going to have to wait for more time too. Dirty flashed over your previous version. I'll try that again tomorrow and log it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I checked Scott's thread, he said a clean flash on this version is recommended.

Sorry guys, I'll update the OP later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
No need to apologize man. It's all part of the game. Good news is I haven't had a reboot or SOD yet. I'm stressing it pretty hard to. Also threw the new Moretz over the top. So if things keep up as far as stability goes I'll post up tomorrow. Solid work on this as always.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WheresWaldo:
Clean installed and on second reboot started with process com.android.phone has stopped. Tried to get a logcat but the message just keeps popping up so had to do reset. Will try flashing again to see if the issue persists.

Had three Random Reboots with the newest ROM. First time was when toggling wifi off. Second one when logging into copy.com cloud storage. Third just switching home screens. Sorry no logcats, just reporting. Sleepy. Night night all!

Installed the Rom and Got 3 Random Shutdowns. System Restart Samsung Comes up and Phone is Off. I manually turn it on. Other Then That working Fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WheresWaldo:
I had the same thing, don't have time to mess with it today, so I am temporarily going back to 1.215 until others can provide logs and more input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Is it just randomly crashing or are you guys doing something specific?

How did you install? Full wipe, clear cache and clear dalvik as well?

Which google apps package are you using?

Edit:

For reference, here is how I installed this version via TWRP ...

1. Wiped Dalvik

2. Wiped Cache

3. Factory Reset

4. Wipe /system

5. Flash ROM

6. Flash Google Apps 3/1/13 (from goo.im)

7. Flash diagnostic tools (Roger_n's package from the CM10.1 nightly thread)

8. Reboot

9. Go through setup, wifi, google account.

10. Allow google apps to sync

11. Adjust all my settings.

12. Done.

Been running rather smooth so far. I did not restore anything from a backup, I typically never do when I clean install - because that's the whole point.

Are you guys doing something different? Additional steps, missing steps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
I did a dirty flash over 1.215. Process acore fail, etc. Was not home so had to restore nand. Will do full wipe and install today.

Thanks for your hard work.

Still no go with all Philz releases here goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/skyrocket, phone reboots a couple of times then turns into BSOD. Nuff trying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roqnla:
In case it helps, I installed 225 on my skyrocket using the following recovery with NO issues: philz_touch_6.07.9-skyrocket.zip

I have performed dirty and clean installs (no ota) with the same outcome. No issues. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
And here I had felt so fortunate, being one of the (seemingly very) few for whom this ROM is working.

I thought I had checked that! So I called up my camera, and...no video. No video, no ROM. Guess I'll roll back after all. Thanks calling that to my attention. I would'a been bummed if I had encountered a Kodak Moment and hadn't been able to capture it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
boot loops

Bootlooping: used Philz touch 6.01.4, ROM 4.4.225, GAPP 11-17 Standard 4.4 Signed. After installation, it booted into the Beanstalk logo. There after it would bootloop to the Samsung logo and repeats. I tried twice without any luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Same thing here with PhilZ 6.10.3. I couldn't reach the linked 6.01.4 version in the OP. I think 6.07.9 was the original version. Anyway, I got an error 7 twice when dirty flashing 225 over the 215 release- and an error message that I was not rooted. Rebooted to a black screen for over 10 minutes... Weird.

I had a similar problem with the latest PhilZ on my wife's SR. It seems that that recovery may not flash properly, for whatever reason. Plugged the wife's phone into a computer, and flashed the latest PhilZ tar.md5 file using Odin, and worked like a charm.

I ended up flashing PhilZ 6.079 in recovery, and 225 flashed fine. So I think there might be something up with the newest PhilZ.

But the ROM is running great, and the stock camera records video with the previously reported initial start up 4-second lag and grainy preview screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
Flashed Philz 6.079 but still bootlooped. Gonna do more research. Thanks for your input!

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], I have question about some settings.

I found settings for switching 2G with off screen in 2 different places: in the regular menu wireless&network -> more... -> connection manager, and in the beanstalk options -> general settings -> suspend actions.

How can I use it? Is this 2 settings should be activate together, or just one (what?)

Thank you.

P.s. if you can explain build.prop and init.d tweeks it will be awesome! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gunstra:
I have 4.4.215 installed and working great, thank you for such an awesome Rom. I am getting messages that a new rom update is available but unlike CM10 I am not 100% sure what I should choose to update without wiping and losing anything. When I go to Install I am asked to choose the following:

Backup

Wipe System

Wipe Data

Wipe Cache & Dalvik

Of course I would want to backup but if I do not want to wipe anything and just want to update to the latest version what should I select? Thank you in advance for any help. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
Don't update yet...

Wait for the next release - V225 is problematic with some of the phones.

and all the CM10 are different versions anyway so, keep using the one you have now till the next version comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] litshredder:
Just in case people get the 225 running, here's my 2 cents. Had shot 3-4 random reboots over a few hours, then it seems that it has settled. No reboots and it's running smooth. Still need to test video but otherwise seems to have evened out

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Video recorded a very psychadelic screen capture video of my home screen on my phone... Not sure how lol but I guess it's not as settled as I thought
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
OK, just today I performed a full wipe and flash of the 225 OC BeanStalk release using PhilZ 6.10.3 recovery. Went first time with no issues whatsoever.

No RRs, and it's been stable as can be for the past 10+ hours.

The only thing that is borked so far is the video recording, which I had working on 225 when I dirty-flashed over 215. Must have been [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION]'s edits to 215 still lurking in the background. The native camera pauses for 4-5 seconds when trying to record video, then the button appears to release and no recording. The CameraMX app that was included with both 215 and 225 pauses, then the recording timer runs like it is recording, but the preview screen is frozen, and it doesn't appear that a file was saved afterwards either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] litshredder:
Yeah mine was low on juice, I shut down, charged a bit, restarted and my home screen icons are gone... Going back to 215 asap lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r3sidual:
From my brief camera tests, the camera in 215 works fine if you use the Camera MX app AND leave the camera on 1080p. In 225 the camera didn't work at all, but I didn't try every setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] litshredder:

no problems with version 225

I've been running .225 on ART since release with no random reboots or system fc, and i have awesome battery life and working stock camera. I don't use video so I don't know or care about that and I also added the 30step volume which I usually don't do unless the rom runs rock solid. I used the latest philz touch recovery and banks core gapps package and have done both clean and dirty flashes no problems and though I'm currently running uber kernal I usually keep it stock for a few days to rule out any problems that arise which none did. Just sharing my experience seeing how many other users are facing problems. Awesome rom can't wait for the next update :angel:

Excellent info. Glad things are working well for you. I have one of "THOSE" skyrocket's... the one where BT decides to just turn off on its own and requires a reboot to re-enable... more than likely if there's going to be a problem, it'll be with my device vs others... BUUUUUT, since I'm a serious flashaholic and haven't had a fix since 205, I'll probably NAND and then try a dirty flash to see what happens....
