So been holding off for along while to install 4.3 and have been running the version in my sig of BeanStalk.

Running the latest TWRP that vincom has in a flashable form on his thread, followed the instructions in the op, installed witmo32 and it booted up great, allowed my apps tied to my google account/phone to auto download and install and allowed the phone to sit for a while.

Decided to do a reboot as I always use rootexploer to go into the ringtones directory under system and copy over a .ogg ringtone I have been using forever now and wanted the sd card to be refreshed so it could be detected.

That was 20minutes ago and my phone is still at the black screen after the samsung boot logo, I can do a soft reboot by holding down power and the two volume buttons and I get the same result, what would cause this?

I can still get into the recovery, should I wipe the phone again and try to re-install or is there anything else that can be done to resolve this non boot issue?

If more info is needed let me know as that was just a basic overview, but it does convey exactly what was done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
Have you tried the CWM recovery linked in the op? I had the "black screen on first boot" issue once while using TWRP but it's never happened since installing CWM.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Why is it that all of a sudden from the last few updates, while im on a call it sounds like people are pressing buttons when they aren't, and I'll take the phone away from my face and Google now will be up? Sometimes it even cuts off the other person's voice and will pickup my voice and make a google search... Very frustrating. But this doesn't happen if I physically press the power button to lock the screen before putting it up to my ear. Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bone_Enterprise:
No I have not as everyone was starting to have success with TWRP and as mentioned it worked great on the first boot, went and restored my nandroid backup as I am expecting some calls this morning, going to give TWRP another shot later tonight then CWM if it starts doing that black boot screen mess again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Hi everybody. I've been cut off from my tech for the last day or so. (still have a laptop...) When I can I will go through all the posts I missed and try to answer stuff. I will be back at home on Tues.

I have been working tho. On a new kernel of my own. Thanks to those that have helped out with answering questions.....:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bone_Enterprise:
Welp, tried again tonight and same result occurred, going to try CWM now, maybe TWRP does not work for me for this ROM like it does for others even though it does boot up the first time without failure, it is just my second time booting after google re-installs all the apps that this occurs.

*edit*

Flashed CWM, re-installed the ROM again and allowed my apps to finish updating, rebooted and it booted back up like it was supposed to this time.

So while TWRP worked for me initially, it apparently still has some residual issues, in my case at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jrodbrown58:
I'm on witmo 29 and I do e a clean install with the newest TWRP but I'm having an issue with notifications. I'm not receiving hardly any and I have everything where its should automatically be pushed to my phone but all my emails, Facebook, tapatalk, etc doesn't notify me. Any ideas why?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Did you try to use Odin to flash the 2.6.3 tar file. People have had issues flashing the zip files. Stay away from 2.7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bone_Enterprise:
Nope so I guess that was the issue, either way I am up and going now, will have to do that as I prefer TWRP better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Did you happen to restore clock from titanium backup by mistake?

When you tap on the widget, does it activate the clock app?

hmmmm, consider updating? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
....also, to the bluetooth peeps. Did that last update fix anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slahti:
Alright, you talked me into it! :beer:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krakozawr:
When I tap on the widget, the clock app activate, of course.

But keep in mind that not only widget time and statysbar time is different but booth us incorrect and different with a real system time! But system time in settings/date and time is always correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Same here for Bluetooth. Worked well over the weekend. Connected it a ton without any issues. Awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
There are a bunch of settings that could effect this. Like night time mode, phones face down feature, if your device is on wifi/data or neither. The time duration set between sync updates.etc. AND other apps that attempt to control these too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wolverine9827:
Man oh Man you are busy!! :)

I was still on 4.2.2 -5 and was getting sick of the damn bluetooth disconnects.... finally decided to load witmo36... I used TWRP 2.6.3.0 and everything 'seemed' to install ok (did a clean install) - but after Google tried to restore my apps (all 105 of them) I started getting out of space errors.... so back to 2.6.1.0 and tried again.... didn't get a good feel for things (wifi dropped twice on me during the initial setup) so I aborted the bootup and went ahead and loaded cwm and went through the whole factory reset, format system/data/cache/dalvik/internal SD and installed again. So far so good... no glitches yet! damn, I like twrp too.....

UPDATE: CRAP!! Bluetooth just disappeared on me!! I'm still in the middle of the first Google Restore run so I'll reserve judgement until after a reboot...... ug....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
105????!!! That is crazy...lol I would save some bandwidth, spend the few bucks on a titanium key so you can batch restore. I actually never let play store restore my apps. JS'n....

Also, might think of testing first and give the poor phone a boot before restoring all that... Because , odds are with that many apps, any issues you have are probably app related. I you don't take the ROM for a spin first, you'll never know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Haha! I have 105 play store apps as well, + some not from the play store such as an ad blocker and some things found around xda. Between icon packs and zooper widgets alone, I've probably got 60 or so, so another 45 apps really isn't too many... RIGHT!?! LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
WOW! What do you guys/gals do with all those apps? I might have 20 apps at the most, and I strip at least 20 out of the ROM zip before I even flash it. Very, very minimal. Hahaha! :rolleyes:

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wolverine9827:
heh heh... 105 applications being pounded down is my sort of acid burn in test - if the ROM survives the load without dropping WiFi or RR'ing it usually points to good things to come... I don't touch it until it's finished and generally keep track of how long it takes to complete.... about half an hour is the norm at 100% CPU utilization... might be stupid but it kind of works for me :) (I think my wife says that about me! LOL)

Anyway, all restored and everything is looking great! Bluetooth disconnects/reconnects but doesn't disappear on me so that's a good thing....

Thanks wan2wan2 - you are the MAN! :victory:

I have directv, fantasy football, a zillion different traveling apps (flydelta, southwest, kayak, hotels.com, amtrak, expedia, etc) a billion utils (total commander and it's plugins, quick system info pro, 3g watchdog, ssh, vnc, remote desktop clients, Teamviewer, universal remote, etc), and only 2 or 3 little games - actually the restore is only for about 70 apps - the rest are installed via Total Commander after I clean out some built-ins I don't particularly get along with like Apollo..... a good burn in test :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
I don't know why people use titanium backup, personally I think it sucks and is slow. I've used mybackup root for the last two years, backs up and restores SMS, MMS, contacts, apps, app data, keyboard dictionary, saved settings... Anything you could ever want and its free and so user friendly that it's sad watching attempts like titanium try and be easy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
The last couple of updates haven't been working correctly for me and I've been super frustrated. I moved over to super lite aokp but that gave me systemui FCS which press to an unusable phone. So I switched back to bs with marla and I still have the same issues as I did before with this ROM, plus more actually. 9/10 times calls don't worrk. I call someone, and its just blank on my end. I can't hear the other end at all, but they get my phone call. If I speak into the mic I hear myself talking from my own phone... Also, apps don't stick. I download an app, works fine, but when I reboot, the app disappears and if I redownload it from play store, it gives me an error. What gives? I've never had issues with beanstalk a week ago..

I would go back to stock, but stock doesn't have group texts and I get a weird second cutoff delay when I listen to music which I tend to do often... Plus its super slow. Ahhh I'm debating just going back to 4.2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] climhz:
Maybe you can try wipe and reflash with CWM recovery, I'm having a lot of issues with some recent build (beanstalk and hellybean) such as fc's and killed services. I've just changed to CWM and wipe then dirty flash rom and gapps and everything's fine again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Yep, agreed. At this point its becoming less likely to be the ROMs fault. More likely twrp or some other apps that haven't updated there SDK.

I think also. People using app backups from 4.2 a residing onto 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Well, problem is, I've tried using both cwm and twrp, with full wipe and dirty wipe. I get the same result every time. I think I'm just going to wipe my sdcard and redownload everything... I'll let you know how that goes.

Same here..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
you seem to have an issue that's not recovery related, the recovery issue has todo with a bsod on 2nd reboot using twrp 2.6.3.0. somethings not right, I would start from scratch and use only 08/13 gapps and don't restore anything from backup to rule them out, ive been running sl aokp w/out any issues or fc's, heres what I wrote in a sticky when trying to fix things up:

something else I wrote up in the twrp thread, the fix below seem to fix the bsod issue when flashing jb4.3 roms with twrp 2.6.3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Well my current issue is with making calls, 9/10 I make a call its blank, I can hear myself talking and other person gets my call but we cannot hear each other. This becomes over frustrating because I cannot make phone calls. Must be some newer commit because every newly updated ROM I've tried has this issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
either youre doing something wrong or u have a hw problem, but since you state that it works on "any" roms built b4 9/10 and not anything newer then

u need todo some trouble shooting and as I posted b4 u need to start from scratch with the steps I posted before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
I probably have a hw issue, I flash anywhere from 1-20 times a month. I started from scratch 2 times today, totally wiping my SD card and everything. Completely wiped clean. I didn't have this issue like a week ago, and all of a sudden every ROM I've tried has the same calling issue. And its weird because I hear noises too, like people pressing the number keys on the other end, when that is not the case. I just don't understand. I'll try going back to stock via Odin see if I still have the issue. If I do, well, I guess my phone's just done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
if prob still there after flashing back to stock try replacing sim card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
Finally got stock from Odin, all is good. Phone calls work every time. Might just stick with stock for a while, although I know in a week I'll get annoyed with it because I can't receive group texts like I did from 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
Hi,

I thought I will give another try...

Finally it installs good, with cwm recovery,

Checked out Bluetooth it works, but the other side, hears themselves while using car kit, it does not happen on stock ROM... Or Embryo.

I'm gonna try it out for the weekend and will report.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wolverine9827:
I wonder.... Since ODIN to stock also flashes the radio... I wonder if you couldn't have flashed the UCMC1 radio (or whichever jb radio you would need) and your problems might have been fixed..... just a thought. Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scubacruiser:
Popular theme "CM9/CM10 Cobalt" causes a boot loop on this ROM. I've been able to consistently recreate this issue. Too bad because it's a nice looking theme. I wonder if other themes will cause the same issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
An update....

After restoring my apps, and rebooting screen became black again....:confused:

But before that, it was running good, even after boots

I couldn't get to boot screen, so I had to flash all over :(

now I'm back to embryo, sorry ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I think you answered you own question. Re read what vincom had to say.....

There is something wrong with your backups or one of the apps. If it works before and not after.....right?

If it works with Embryo and not a 4.3 rom.....right?

Has to be app compatibility...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
--resolved--

new issue:: I did nothing but start reinstalling my apps, and tried to go to the default DPI as it seemed changed, and next thing I know on reboot it pops the samsung logo - fades - and never gets past that. I hope there's a fix, this rom seems promising otherwise.

Just did a fresh install and rebooted only after modifying the dpi to a normal value. still stuck at black screen. did not reinstall any apps this time.

Would not having the latest recovery cause this? I did read that not having it would cause a boot loop but that's not what I'm experiencing. I flashed the 4.2.2 version and rebooted, working just fine.

Lastly, gallery is showing empty but other apps like QuickPic work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
I'm currently running the ReVolt Rom and the same thing happens to me. Sucks because I love that theme, I just hate the flat plain Jane look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Yes, you have to have The right recovery. It's in the op in the 4.3 section. Also, you have to clean out the junk files from your sdcards. Use sdmaid and/or 1click clean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowswittness:
Take out your memory card and back it up. Backup your internal memory card then format both with your phone in recovery. Do a complete phone wipe 3x. Try a 4.2 ROM and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slahti:
Not sure if this is ROM specific, because Beanstalk is all I've used. But anyone know what this backup wakelock is and how to squash it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I haven't seen that one but it could be something trying to sync that is stuck. Try a reboot and see. Make sure you have some sort of data connection. After that I'd say an app you are running. In settings check battery and see if there is an app that is draining power. Also in settings, check apps/running apps and see and tap the top of the screen on cached apps and see....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpxf:
I don't mean to sound like a broken record I just want to be 100% sure before I proceed. You are verifying that you can still do an initial boot on an incorrect recovery, and still have boot issues as I described on next boot? Again, I'm not experiencing a boot loop. It boots up fine the first time and never gets to your boot animation the next.

After looking into the sd maid app it would seem my phone is already in pretty good shape.

I appreciate your work, even the 4.2 version is amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
I ran into the same issue and came online to check it out. Just googled and found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210512

From that post <for lazy ppl like me>: "unticked "back up my data" under privacy and the backup process has dropped off my battery stats"

I am going to try disabling the backup and see if it helps.

EDI: It fixed it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ya, those are the exact characteristics of the wrong recovery. It's able to make the first boot because the new SELinux hasn't been written to disk yet. It requires it's own partition that the old recovery doesn't provide for. So it shows up on the second boot onwards because SELinux security is the new first thing that gets run on boot now. With the old recov., it can't get written.

So, for ANY 4.3 rom, you have to have the updated recovery that will make the provision before you flash the new rom. That way there is a reserved space for it.

Don't worry, if you want to go back to a 4.2.x rom, you won't have to reflash the old recovery...

1. download from the 4.3 section the recovery, rom, gapps.

2. move files over to your phone

3. boot to recovery.

4. flash the new recovery

5. goto advanced and reboot recovery

6. flash new rom

7. flash new gapps

8. reboot and wait for it. Longer first boot.

9. let it settle, there are scripts to run yet

10. enjoy! lol (Another reboot after reg wouldn't hurt....)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
latest release is running great... tested bluetooth and it's been good so far. Initially had few issues and after couple of reboots the issue is gone. I will test some more and only post if I run into any issues.

Funny thing, I was dirty flashing all the while till witmo32, I seldom had issues with bluetooth.

out of the blue (after so much ado from wantowan2.. :silly:), cleaned everything including SD card, installed witmo32, bam - playing Bluetooth audio from the car was breaking a lot. Thought of reporting the issue, but I saw witmo36 already (yes, wantowan2, you are super fast :cowboy:). you guessed it rite - dirty flashed witmo36 and bluetooth was working good again.

my way of dirty flashing: nandroid backup only data (twrp), wipe everything (cache + dalvik + system + data), flash rom + gapps, let ROM settle, do couple of reboots, restore data from nandroid through twrp. works for me so far (in fact better than clean install... lol... :highfive:).

(If anyone is following the above, I keep backup for each ROM and each major version. mixing them won't work. so please do that only if you know what you are doing)

Had two issues which were draining the battery pretty bad:

Nlp wakelock - fixed it by cleaning the data from "Google services framework" (phone automatically recovers, reboots couple of times before everything would be normal)

*backup* by android - fix in my previous post

other than that, ROM is running smooth and great :victory: thanks again wantowan2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theesotericone:
If it works for you great. There's a much easier way though. lol Wipe everything but data. Flash ROM and Gapps. Wipe dalvik and cache again. Reboot. I've been dirty flashing this thing since it came out. Have run into very few issues and those that do come up are easy to fix. I know that wanttowan2 doesn't endorse dirty flashing but it does work if you know what your doing. I also create a CWM flashable of all of my key apps that I use and just flash that when I do a clean install which isn't very often. Thanks wantto for all the time and effort you've put into this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
