[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
I finally tried it and it do flash with Philz Touch, took a while (5min to being static at less).

Got 3 bug related to the new unlock feature, it's not something important atm. Some classic unlock feature work fine.

-Unlock using pattern first and do work fine.

-Unlock using GPS from a certain address with GPS has been setup but don't unlock it. (Using GPS only as location)

-Unlock using face unlock after setting up the pattern don't work. Service crash when the camera start, backing up to the security menu in setting.

-Unlock using NFC Tag don't work, crash when take too long or when it's near an NFC Tag. I am using the Quick embedded NFC tag of my Sony MDR-AS700BT bluetooth Headphone.

I also got a MicroSD card bug, i tried to transfert my app to the MicroSD and it hang 2-3 time at which, my only option was doing a force reboot. Now my Ext MicroSD card mount but it don't mount the app folder anymore, so i decide to reflash CM12 again.

Also, now using Lolipop, i start to not having enougth internal space on my Skyrocket. If someone could implement a flashable script to resize the partition for app on Skyrocket by allocating some from the internal storage (SDCard0), i would appreciate it. I think many of us, using a skyrocket have an MicroSD card for their data, so allocating 1 more GB to the internal storage might be enougth. I don't know if using a 128gb MicroSD Card work but 64gb and 32gb do work on this phone, i heard it the 128gb was a new format, so i don't know if it do work. I was using Slimkat before and the same amount of app was able to be installed (or arround the same, i used my HP Touchpad backup from google cloud instead).

Gonna provide logcat for the unlock bug after i finish to setup again my Skyrocket, this time, using an app to transfert app to SDCard instead of the setting menu.

Edit : After second install, he don't want to transfert app to sdcard anymore, the storage got full, he hang and random softreboot arround 5 time when i am on the playstore or app info for moving menu in setting. A certain app for moving app to sdcard only transfert an app at the time when i select em all. I used this time my slimkat backup from google cloud. Gonna try again reusing another backup or starting from scratch.

Thanks

I will wait untill the broken will befixed si i can update cm12 on My skyrocket SGH-I727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Wich method u used?? If you formatted does it still has 10 gb for storage?? I can acsess external but not internal..

Also i cant find developers options for root..??

Clicking build number does nothing???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I've uploaded an update to the custom TWRP recovery. Please note that you can only install the TWRP recovery update if your device has been repartitioned.

USB mass storage mode for the internal SD card is not compatible with the new partition layout. This is because the internal SD card is emulated on the /data partition, and /data can never be unmounted while the device is running. You can only use MTP to access the internal SD card now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Ok i get it.. It should be ok.

But i cant find quick tile settings either.. Lol..

(UPDATE)

A reboot fix the missing developers options and quick tiles settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
I used odin to go back too oe rom ,then when it reboots into system it will say blank sd card,tap on that and it will ask you to format sd card ,i clicked yes and 5 sec it was ready. reflashed philz in odin ,rebooted and then recovery again to put my custom recovery roms back on. Hope this helps. I see Sultan posted again,maybe he will ad a reverse flash to make it easier to go back and fourth in recovery. :confused: or not :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I believe that by partition we get the 10 gb storage when we used ext4 . ao if you format to default wich i think its fat32 then youll loose the 10 i guess.. He says no mass storage . use mtp for internal a little slow but it will work..

Am trying to get the hang of twrp and use that only.. Yes new version of twrp uploaded..

Youll have to go bqck and forth.. But i think theres no need. Use only one.. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
Since I didn't get any response to this question, I decided to do nothing. During the installation process I was asked if I wanted to install from a google backup. I said yes, and now all my apps are loading as we speak.

I guess if there is anything I really need from my PC backup, I can transfer it to my sd card. The installation of the new rom went surprisingly well. Should I still install the TWRP update even though I had no problems?

Thanks Sultan for all your hard work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Three333:
The contents of /data would have been transferred automatically during the reconfiguration (i.e. your application settings). The only thing that you should need to transfer manually back the to device are any other files and folders that you may have kept on the internal SD (e.g. music, photos, tibu backups, etc.).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hacer.barro:
First off, thanks for your hard work! I've been meaning to mention that in instructions about the virtual repartitioning it states, " Note this does mean that your phone will be actually partitioned, so there is almost no chance that this process could brick or damage your device." Perhaps the word NOT is missing in that statement? If I understand this correctly anyway. Have a great night and thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I was asleep when I wrote that first paragraph, thanks for the heads up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
Can you install the new build on top of the feb 26 build? ie. wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik cache, install rom, install gapps. Leaving data alone, or do a clean install wiping everything, format system, install rom, install gapps. in the same way as we do for normally partitioned sd cards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Correct. You actually don't need to wipe anything (nor do you have to install gapps again), just flash the new ROM on top of the Feb 26 build and reboot. The ROM zip wipes /system automatically and retains your gapps. /cache is not used as of Android 4.3 and newer, so wiping it does nothing.

The repartition process is just a one-time thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BMXKing119:
I don't think its very awesome that this "repartitioning" screwed up my phone. Funny that I can't flash anything but CM11 because no matter what I do, or which recovery I use, or how many times a wipe or flash whatever, any 5.0+ ROMs get stuck here infinitely in recovery. (See attached pic) The repartitioning screwed up something in the dev/block/mmcblk0p24 and dev/block/mmcblk0p25 platforms and nothing i do can fix it. Also now my phone automatically shuts down and reboots itself whenever it feels like it. Also I still can't connect to 3G/H+ for the last 2 months. It connects to LTE just fine but no calls come through and when I try to make a call it doesn't lose LTE and connect to 3G or H+. Therefore the calls don't go through. Texts work fine incoming and outgoing. These are 2 separate issues. I'd just like my phone to be able to flash 5.0+ ROMs again. Thanks

EDIT - 2nd pic shows that there is something wrong in dev/blockmmcblk0p25 and dev/block/mmcblk0p28 platforms when trying to install 26th build. In any recovery. I don't think you should have went changing around partitions not fully knowing what you were doing. Nothing is partitioned how it is suppose to be now. Some is vfat some is ext4 some is ext4fs ....... I mean come on. How are we suppose to know what you did or how we are suppose to fix your mistakes???? My phone is all screwed up now and I've tried everything to get it right but it just doesn't help. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Let's clarify some things: the repartitioning process itself does not perform any destructive operations on its own, so it didn't screw up mmcblk0p24 (original Samsung /system partition) and mmcblk0p25 (original Samsung /data partition). The only things changed on mmcblk0p24 and mmcblk0p25 are the files that are on them. Saying that the repartitioning broke them would be the same as saying that copying files to a flash drive will break it.

The "repartitioning" is an illusion (it's a ROM feature). Your phone has not actually been repartitioned at the bootloader level, so it is not a permanent change at all. Flashing a different recovery and then using that recovery to install a ROM that does not have the repartitioning will immediately get rid of the repartitioning.

Have you tried flashing CM12 using the official TWRP recovery? It's possible that your mmcblk0p24 partition (/system) became corrupted on its own a while ago, which could explain why your phone reboots randomly. If mmcblk0p24 is indeed corrupted then the only way to fix it would be through TWRP. But this is all purely speculation as you did not provide a log (last_kmsg) of when your phone rebooted.

EDIT: wat, you're flashing the Feb 26th build through CWM...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
Your pictures show you trying to install the repartitioned ROM (2/26) in clockworkmod recovery, which is never going to work. To flash the 2/12 ROM you should be okay, but you'll have to wipe everything, including your internal sdcard to get a clean slate (assuming you went through his repartitioning instructions).

He mentions a few times that this is a "virtual" repartitioning, meaning the partitions are not actually changed, he just programmed his recovery and new ROMs to point to different locations than traditional skyrocket ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
[MENTION=6308437]BMXKing119[/MENTION] - Did you follow the instructions listed in op and flash the newest TWRP? What method did you use to do so? Can you take us through the steps you took when you flashed everything?

I can understand your frustration, we've all been there before. Just try to keep things in perspective - your phone isn't actually partitioned, it's a virtual partition and is amazing to have when done correctly. I flashed Android 5+ for the first time coming from kitkat using this newly updated partition method and my phone has never worked better or run more smoothly. So let's try to get you sorted without pointing fingers when you don't even know what exactly caused your issue.

EDIT: As stated in op - flash newest version of TWRP - you're using CWM so that's your problem right there.

I've noticed that you can't long-press MMS to save pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
That may be an app-specific thing. I've been using hangouts as my default MMS app and I'm able to save images by long pressing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ragarianok:
Yeah, it seems to be just the default MMS app. I managed to find a workaround though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BMXKing119:
You totally missed where I said no recovery will work for flashing 5.0+ ROMs now. Yes I've tried all TWRP official and unofficial. No my phone was not messed up before this and never randomly rebooted once. It was a brand new never used phone before I got it. Why does my phone say its formatted in 3 different formats now when it never was before and I've never had one issue with the phone or flashing anything on this device before this happened. I took the pic in clockworkmod so it was easily visible since the lettering is twice the size. I can flash kitkat ROMs fine. Its just the phone randomly reboots itself whenever it feels like it now. I've tried wiping/formatting everything in TWRP and CWM and did Odin back to stock JB and you name it. Doesn't matter what version of TWRP I use or if I redo the instructions 5 times. The CM12 ROM flash never completes in TWRP it just sits as the pictures show for hours or days if I'd let it. It sat for hours yesterday trying to flash the 12th build. I'd just like to get the phone back to normal. Hell I'll even donate some $$$$. Ya I'm frustrated but this should be able to be fixed. I appreciate any help. Also if you read my original post you would already know that in said that following the directions or not, or blah blah blah the only rom flash that ever works now is CM11. I DO NOT EVER use CWM recovery. It was for trial and error purposes only and the pics I took were more visible in CWM. The steps I took are what are listed in the OP. Which i stated previously. Even if i flash CM11 then try to flash CM12 it doesnt work. Thanks

Install the official TWRP recovery then reboot into TWRP and flash the zip file at the bottom of this post. After that, connect your phone to your computer and copy the file called kernel_log.txt from your external SD card, then post that file here.

The zip file at the bottom of this post copies the live kernel log to the external SD card for you, so I can see what's going on in the kernel (the log will say if a partition is corrupted).

Just a update and thanks

I just want to say thanks for this ROM, I did the repartitioning, it took 10 minutes or so and The ROM is awesome. I didn't think it would save all settings etc from previous versions but it did.

Again, thanks and your work is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LukeAllan:
Just wanted to add my own gratitude to the thread. I didn't ever expect that my Galaxy S II would be running Lollipop and running it so well. Yes, it's not perfect and I have run into the occasional bit of buggy behavior, but overall it's working better than expected. I took the plunge and went through the virtual partitioning process just so I could continue to flash updates. So please, Sultan, ignore the haters and keep up the good work -- we really appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BMXKing119:
It completes in 2 seconds with no errors. But when I reboot recovery it never boots back to recovery. When I do the internal storage is corrupt. System isn't mounted and can't be until its formatted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
I would've never guessed that! Thank you, that's a good workaround until the long press/save feature is added back. Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
I guess you've tried the repair option in TWRP? Have you ever messed with ADB? If you can get your pc to talk to your phone while in recovery (you should be able to, I've done it many times) you can try using the fsck utility (google fsck if you're unfamiliar), that's probably what the TWRP repair filesystem button does, but it's worth a shot if nothing else works.

If still no luck after that, you may very well have faulty hardware, which is unfortunate, but likely not due to this ROM or it's recovery. At any rate, all of these forums start with a "At your own risk" disclaimer, and as others have mentioned accusing the dev of messing up your phone isn't a great way to have people jump on your side. Without the support of our devs the skyrocket would have become obsolete long ago. Good luck!

I would flash older build and it will work ok so i know something was bad on the new partition download.. I downloaded like 4 times... Same.. I was going to ask for help. And decided to redownload one more time.. And then it worked..

So of it hangs .. Redownload.. And dont move file

Just had an instance where I had no in-call volume. A reboot fixed it, but I'm really not sure what caused it. Thought it might have been Snapchat, but I noticed in the changelog that the last ROM update was supposed to have fixed that, unless that fix was something different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I fixed the issue where the microphone stopped working for normal phone calls after using VoIP or Snapchat (I even tested it many times to confirm the fix). I can't do anything about zero in-call audio from the headset without getting a log. Also, my test device is my friend's old phone, and he stopped using it because the headset on it is physically broken (so I can't test the zero in-call audio). The external SD card slot and probably NFC are also broken on my test device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
NFC - usually when I have NFC set to "on" on both my tablet and phone, and place them back to back there's a notification noise and a screen pops up. Putting them back to back in Lollipop doesn't do anything so maybe NFC not working for now.

EDIT: NFC confirmed working by someone else so must just be me! [emoji12]

External SD - No problems whatsoever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
I can confirm that NFC does work. I just transferred a picture to be sure it's still working, and I used it to transfer my accounts from another device when I first installed CM12. :good:

Bugs Reported Which I've Faced

Its great experience of having so so so big amount of Apps storage in my Samsung Galaxy SII I-727

Bugs Reported hereunder Which I've Faced;

First of All My Phone started Un-expected Restarts on Large Interval

Like usually it restarts during a continuous snapshot (After five or Six Snaps)

Sometimes it restarted during Calls

Second Bug I've faced, when I receive call, I can't listen any voice of the caller, not even in earpiece nor in Loud Speaker, and Caller also can't listen to me, So I've to manually Restart my mobile every time after this exposure, usually I face this problem after two or three days.

3rd Bug I usually faced is that, some time in dialer I couldn't search the required number which is stored in my Contacts.

4th Bug is that When device is locked some times it is disconnected from Wifi access until unlocked.

You can check that link. It hasn't stop l stopped the restarts, but it seems to have helped. All it does is replace the boot animation. Sure, you'll have a black screen during boot, but I think it's worth it.

As far as the calls, you'll need to get a log when it happens and post it.

I used CatLog and noticed "getPhone phoneID:0" was in red. Forgot to save the log.
