Yes, an old radio will fail the flash. To be honest, I don't use TWRP. All the updater scripts do check for radio version now. Is there a way to toggle this function inside recovery?

One of these will pass:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ok, what version of rom and what version of recovery? The recovery I provided with the new 4.3 rom is only for 4.3.

If you flashed 4.2.2 rom with anything else should work. Did you also flash moretz/marla on top of 4.3 by chance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PPlayer:
It is ROM 4.3, and the Recovery is the CWM provided in the download links.

I have come from 4.2.2 (wrapup v2) and no other flash including moretz/marla so far. I have never got any problem with your ROMs so far too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stevebic83:
BOOM

Got it working and thanks for the links, that got me up and running! Hyped about checking this ROM out! Weird that it didn't work before though, because that is the radio I was using already, but whatever it's working now... Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I recommend re downloading from the link in the OP. There was about 1/2 hour there when devhost was having issues. Try that and get back to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PPlayer:
Redownloaded using laptop then copied to phone. Checked MD5 which is the same as Dev-host and same as previously. Flash the ROM using provided CWM 6.0.3.7. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davik cache, install ROM and reboot. Same issues: keyboard stopped and back and menu soft buttons do not work.

Edit: Sorry I did not do the format /system as instructed! I came from TWRP so do not have this habit. IT WORKS NOW. Thanks wantowan2 for your great support and great ROM as usual.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I am glad to help! Sorry for any delays. I am currently way out of Toronto where bandwidth is dodgy at best.

There are always growing pains when there is an upgrade like this. I'm glad everybody is sorted.....I think....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ashokmani:
Installed 4.3 as per the instructions and all I get after the reboot is a blank screen.. Tried flashing again but same results. Tried flashing CM 4.3 and got that working perfectly fine.. Any help..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
You flashed the new recovery too? hmmm I think you should try re downloading the rom from the OP. Devhost was having issues when everybody was downloading all at once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AndroidGee209:
are you using the new recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ashokmani:
Yes.. I flashed the new recovery.. Full data and cache wipe.. Still this issue.. But the CM version works fine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Make sure you format /system too..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
The 4.3 seems to eat a battery up pretty quick, but I kinda expected that with a newer rom. Still, the rom is beautifully smooth and responsive. Quickest my SR has been in a long time, after almost 24 hours of use. I'm still using the original battery that was in it when I bought the phone new, almost two years ago, so that could very well be why the battery is spent so quickly. Never overestimate the reliability of an old battery. Even at that, this rom is well worth the battery-performance/functionality tradeoff. If you have a newer battery, you should be awesome all the way around.

Only issues so far is flash is not working on any browser, but I think there is a fix for that in the Nexus 7 forum that may work. I'll try it later. The other is that Intercepter-ng is not scanning wifi network properly. Neither is due to this rom or its maker, but more likely just the normal growing pains of a new update (4.3). Again, great job on this wantowan2. Much appreciated update.

Flash is working perfectly fine for me. Of course I installed flash player apk I've been using for quite some time too. I'll see if I can upload a link for it

And just so everyone knows... The S4 touchwiz launcher mod works perfectly on 4.3. Running it now and it's smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robeert:
any luck porting moretz on 4.3? this rom is superb! but it'll be too cool if someone just port moretz or just build another kernel on 4.3. we need CVD on kernel. :(

Get crackin homey!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
is any one else having issues with the gallery opening. i keep getting a reboot when i open it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Altarocks:
From CVD in the CM 10.2 thread:

"Some beta testers reported that. We found that it was due to a corrupt file somewhere in internal storage. So, you'll need to wipe your internal storage (mostly your pictures) and then you should be fine."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
i did that and i'm still getting the reboot. i'm going to go back to 4.2 until this is fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
No issues here. Have you tried quick pic or another 3rd party gallery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
no but ill just flash back till thats fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
I think it would be much cooler if you did it.

:p

Perhaps you should recreate the issue and post a log to help with a resolution. That being said, I'm not so sure that it is broken and/or needs fixing as it is working quite well for me.

Brought to you but time and relative dimensions in space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
how do i do that though? i will when my phone is charged up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ya, never ceases to amaze me how different the same rom can be for people. Some and I hope all will know that if I came across any or all of these issues, I never would have posted the rom. Gallery for example. I never would have let that out.

CVD is right in a sense. Not file corruption but 'A' file that is corrupting how Gallery is/isn't able to see/detect file types with media scanner.

This happens when you connect your device to a PC. Linux/windows both like to take ownership of it. This is another reason, in my opinion, for not doing away with 'mass storage' as an interface.

So windows looks at it and says hey, pictures are there so it puts Thumbs.db files next to your pics. Or a recycle bin.

Same with linux. It has lost and found dirs, and trash folders. These system files aren't android but android attempts to read them.

This is the leading reason for gallery to wipe out.

Now, the new recovery is necessary as it provides new space for SELinux which is the beginning of the end for superuser. (Whole other story but that means root too)

This part I am unclear on but I'm pretty sure it must take it from internal storage. If it does, it has to resize that partition with files on it so there is another reason some pic files might be messed with.

As for any difference between CM and BeanStalk. Short answer is a lot. While BS needs CM's stuff to sit on, there is a TON of development/tweaks/improvements that are what makes BS an advancement upon the good work of a generic CM rom. Beanstalks original developer has mad skills. That said, there was a sort of weird timing between when beanstalk was ready to go for 4.3 and when it was ready for the SR. About 10 days different. So I could see that there could be some miss matching on stuff BS got done so early to everything cm did after that. This will get sorted.

Maybe I will come with a few more frequent updates so we can get the 2 sides to match up better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
i'll try redownloading the 4.3 rom and try reflashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I would say bad flash. Re download the rom from the OP. Put all the files from the 4.3 section of the OP on your phone.

If you don't want to format your sdcard/s, check them for rogue files as I explained above.

*in recovery, flash the new recovery

*reboot recovery

*Wipe factory reset

*Wipe cache

*in mounts and storage - format system

*go to advanced - wipe dalvik

*Flash the rom

Now, in your case, I would reboot. Let it boot and settle down. Let the screen go out. Open it and see how it is. Is your problem still here? If it is, perhaps you missed something on your sdcard/s (There must be a reason why it is happening for you and not most)

Hopefully it is gone and you can go back to recovery and flash gapps.

*After you flash gapps and BEFORE you restore apps, check again for your issue.

There is a good chance you have an app that is not compatible with 4.3 messing with storage.

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Nope. While the kernel version is fine, I feel the whole kernel needs rebasing. I am going to try but it will be awhile if at all. I know, bummer.

i did a fresh reflash but its still donig it. the gallary is still causing a reboot. i got a logcat but i don't know how to make it into a file form so you can see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ka724ka:
I also encountered the same issue, whenever open up Gallery or QuickPIc, the phone reboot. I tried to wipe the internal storage (Internal SD card), issue was still persist. The way that I fixed my issue was to wipe the external SD (Sandisk 32gb). Since then, no more reboot to open up either Gallery or QuickPic. Just share to everyone who has this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
omg awesome that worked. i moved all my files (pics, music, ect) to my computer and then wiped the external sd card (32gb also) in recovery and it works now! woooooo! thanks soooo much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] v3ngence:
I haven't had any issues using QuickPic

*knock on wood*

Oh snap! I guess I'll keep an eye out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] denhib:
I installed 4.3 without a problem per the instructions in the OP. The problem I've encountered is the phone enters a boot loop when I try to reboot. The ROM will not boot up when I use the power menu to reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
And you used the correct recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
+1... And made sure to format system?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I have no real issues with this rom at all. To be clear, I did not follow the instructions to the letter. I never flash rom, reboot, settle in, then reboot to recovery and flash gapps. That method always gives me trouble. I always flash rom, gapps, and any other files all in one shot. Seems like I always avoid issues that way. Not saying my way is any better than other ways, just that it has consistently worked out better for me. Everything on this rom is going absolutely perfect for me. A few certain apps had to have thier cache and data cleared to work right, but thats about the worst I have encountered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] denhib:
Yes, did both. Then installed correct Gapps and restored apps with Titanium. I will try again and report if it boot loops again.

Update: I started from scratch (formated Cache/Data/System) and could not repeat the same conditions. So it is rebooting fine now. I still have the Beanstalk 4.2.2 backed up just in case though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Yeah I would try to start fresh and see if it still happens. Also remember to be careful restoring apps with Titanium, especially since you're going from CM10.1 to CM10.2 and be very careful about system apps because when you restore those you will probably have problems. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robeert:
yes! thanks! our kernel is working fine but we just need some tweak on it or something, and Asphalt 8 is on its way to playstore i wish there'll be no lag on our rom. crossedfingers! :D we just need BADASS on our governor. hahaha

Go point. I only restore user app+data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Okay, so I gotta say, day two's battery life was MUCH better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Funny how that happens. I honestly have been unable to check on this. This all happened with me out of town. So I'm constantly tethered to my laptop==>to my build box remotely. Haven't been unplugged long enough.

Hey guys. I just added a blurb in post#2 about SELinux. Well, what I have learned about anyway. It is the future and will be a big part of you and your android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I have to agree. Once it settled down, I only dropped 36% today, as opposed to 85% yesterday, with about as much use. Admittedly, I was driving alot yesterday, and constant tower handoffs could be partially responsible to an extent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Yes! That is something that most never think of. Handoffs or even sitting right on the edge of a service area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] denhib:
I entered a boot loop again after restoring with Titanium. Pretty sure that must the the culprit. The problem? which app is it? I will just stick to Beanstalk 4.2.2 for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I have found that TWRP is not working for this rom. I'm guessing it has to do with the new recovery file. Also fixing permissions in Rom Manager really doesn't work either. Is this true for anyone else? Great start for this barnd new rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Did you restore system apps? Seems to me, the cause of your problem is probably a system app so do not restore system apps at all! It's really not that hard to only restore user apps and redo your settings manually but if you don't want to do that then that's up to you.... good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pitbullmommy45245:
ya you have to flash the reovery in the op like it says in red caps above the links lol. it won't work in twrp. like everyone told me. you need to read before you ask questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
You should probably avoid restoring apps via TiBu this time since you're going from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I normally use TiBu too, but this time I just restored my apps from the playstore and have had zero problems with this ROM so far.

Brought to you but time and relative dimensions in space.

Only bug I've found is when using burst shot in Focal it force closes. Then neither focal or the stock camera can't connect to the camera. I know focal isn't at the top of the list but thought to put it out there.

That being said, 4.3 is beautiful. Really enjoying it. And the Chrome scroll issue is gone!

Loving BS4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rccar:
4.3 is fantastic besides two things. One is gallery and camera app (same apk) causing reboots and when I restored my SMS and MMS from 4.2.2 to 4.3 my MMS show as just a little white dot and saying they are only 1KB in size. Not a huge problem as I've saved all of my received pictures over time but it was just nice to have them together when I want to scroll up and view all the pictures I've received from a specific person.

Not expecting this to be perfect but for an alpha build, this is fantastic!

Had a chance to flash this baby coming from stock JB. Completely wiped phone and ext. SD card. Day 2 on this and I must say it has now settled in quite nicely. Was kind of nervous about the battery life originally, but it looks really good today. Should have no problem making it all day. Loving it!

I've yet had to install a 4.3 gapps, with both this ROM and with PAC. Gapps was already there. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smalis:
Dirty flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
I don't believe so. I've formated system I know at least once. When installing the many 4.3 ROMs. I booted into ROM before flashing gapps to test and low and behold it was already there. Maybe I didn't. Who knows lol. Whacky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Has to be a dirty flash of some sort, because the rom zip does not contain the gapps (just unzipped it to make sure). If they are not in there, they cant flash. Are you doing the wipe with the required 4.3 recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freestylejunki32:
same here. I did a full wipe/factory reset with the new 4.3 CWM recovery including formatting system 2 times. After only flashing rom and rebooting, gapps were there. I then went back and installed teh new 4.3 gapps just to be sure. no issues so far with anything though. Perhaps the new recovery isn't actually working as it should so its not really wiping data and system?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
Yep. Haven't ran into any problems either, if I am in fact unknowingly dirty flashing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Dont get me wrong, dirty flash is not always user error. With the custom recovery being used for this, there could easily be a bug causing the issue that has not been worked out yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Where/how are you restoring?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
You must have forgotten to format system. The ONLY time that isn't the end of the world is if you flash the identical ROM on top. Because of framework diffs from ROM to ROM, it will degrade over time. Depending on how you use it. If unsure, re flash.

That said, I will check to see if there have been updates to recovery. If so, I will build new and post ASAP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
Did you flash the special recovery, then install the rom with that? Sounds like it was flashed with the regular recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I'm going to say yes. Don't remember the solution was tho. Search keyboard or google keyboard etc...

+1

All of the FC issues have been:

Bad flash due to:

Wrong recov

dirty flash

first day DL's when devhost wiped out

wrong gapps

Make sure you have everything you need from the 4.3 download area and follow the long instructions under CWM recovery instructions PREceded by recov flash/reboot recov
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I was thinking recovery because the exact same thing happened to me when I had flashed the pac 4.3 the night it was released with the basic twrp. Immediate kb failure. Made it unusable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
A Beanstalk nightly??? Not going to happen. I only do meaningful updates that are full ROMS. I find it's generally better for people as they get a phone out of the deal and are more likely to not dirty flash.

However, you could probably talk me into an updated Focal.apk.

That said, a part of my point was that focal is getting heavy development because it's new and because it was introduced to every device. Probably worth waiting for it to stabilize. If I do it you will find it in the 4.3 DL section

Also, I think I mentioned yesterday. I think I might do 1 or 2 mid version cm updates to get the 2 sides better alined.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freestylejunki32:
you can fix the FC keyboard problem by going in with a file explorer into the system->app folder and just click on the keyboard apk (latin.apk i think?) and it will reinstall it. But its most likely due to not specifically formating system partition and only doing a fatory reset.

telephone network problem

I installed version 4.3 of beanstalk jb but the telephone network did not work well. Then install the cyanogenmod alpha for testing and the problem remains the same.

I have problems with mobile network.

the signal comes and goes and i can't be able to make or receive calls

I flashed the correct radio jelly bean

And it worked fine with the 10.1 versión

I live in Dominican Republic and I have to put the apn of CLARO. this may affect my connection to the telephone network( sorry if this is a stupid question)

What can I do to resolve this problem?

I asked this question in the alpha cm10.2 thread, but as I have not received a response.

I want to flash beanstalk again, but I want to know if the problem is in the version 4.3. Because jb4.2 beanstalk worked perfect.

thanks in advance

I had the same issue on Straight Talk. They updated a lot of APN settings a few months ago. Verify your APN or re-add the working settings. A simple Google search should get you a slew of APN settings or contact your provider or via their website.
