How can I return to ics. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I want to return to ics after trying a few jb leaks and have some issues I have a backup of my stock rooted 4.0.4 can I restore it or can I flash a custom ics over the jb rom I'm using now.

You seem to have a few options. Only thing you really can't do is dirty flash ics over jb.
You can restore your nandroid and flash from there if you like. Or wipe data dalvik and cache and flash another rom.

So I can use super wipe and then flash a ics rom over jb?

I wouldn't even use superwipe. I only recommend tthat if you are having problems.
Just do factory reset from recovery, then flash your rom.

Ok thanks.the problem is I flshed xquizit xD I love the rom but when phone goes in to sleep it wont wake and starts vibrating with the blue led don't know why and I have asked for help in the op but didn't got help so I'm going back to ics.thanks for your help.

No problem. Just a guess here but did you do a full wipe before flashing xquizit? That sounds like a oroblem that used to occur a lot when there was data left from a previous rom. Sometimes even had to wipe internal sd.

I did super wipe then did wipe factory/chace/dalvik wipe flashed rom then did factory wipe/cache wipe/dalvik wipe/fix permission and reboot with the same results rom is perfect but have the sleep/wake problem.

I never had to run fix permissions on xquizit. And it has caused me problems in the past with other roms. Maybe that's the problem? Just a guess.

If you really want to stay on JB, give Black Jelly a go. No problems at all for me...been using it for a couple weeks now.

I will give it a try I don't want to give up on this rom not yet I really like the battery life and performance it's near perfect just having that issue and I noticed it happens when I hit the power button to turn off the screen it vibrates one time and when I hit power again it starts vibrating like crazy with blue led and black screen so I have to take out the battery and reboot.

How much storage do you have on your data partition?
You don't have to be out of space to get that message. Its set to do that once a certain percentage of your storage is remaining. Probably 5-10%. It does this to ensure there's enough space left for the already installed apps to use.
So you could have a few hundred mb remaining, but still be below that threshold.

Op. My biggest issues happens when I do not format "system". If you have a solid nandroid backup and you place a copy of the backup on your home computer you can recover from almost any mistake. Take the time to do the research. Happy to help with the basics.

same here - time "changes" throughout the day
I had the same problem.
OK here's my scenario, I rooted once I upgraded from the kies ics update via the stock root on GalaxyS2Root.com and then had these problems, I then get (very) angry and decided to try it a different way, so I un-rooted, still having hang then fast restart with buttons lit up. So after I put stock ics on there I did a factory reset in stock recovery, then re-rooted now it's Ok, even though the wifi strength is horrific on the stock ics regardless (anyone else having this problem?). But this permanently fixed my problem. Hope this helped!
P.S. - I froze almost all of the stock bloatware with titanium backup as well still works great!

[Q] Phone takes forever to open Contacts

Dear Friends,
Sometimes randomly whenn i try to open contacts it takes a very long time to display the contacts. I do not know what is wrong.
I have disabled auto sync in 'Currents'.
Could you guys please help
Thanks
I think its time to reflash your rom. With these kinds of issues,its hard to pinpoint what is the exact source of the problem.

My phone is from UK. I do not wanna root the phone as i do not wanna loose official ROM Updates.

No data on att and 4.2

I flashed bigxie's 4.2 image last night and everything ran fine, or so I thought. As soon as I left my house in the am and I wasn't getting any data. Calls and texts were going no problem. Thought maybe it was a bad flash or something. Reflashed. Same problem. Returned to stock 4.2 using the toolkit and still the same problem. So I restored to 4.1.2 stock and I finally had data again. I flashed the cataclysm 4.2 ROM and no data again. Flashed latest CNA and I have data.
Does my phone just not like 4.2?? What's going on here??

Not sure if the problem is fixed or not but everything is working. Here's what I did in case anyone else needs help with this same problem.
I restored to 4.1.2 using the toolkit and then waited until the phone got the ota and updated using that to 4.2 (I did this the first time and had data, then went into the settings and did a factory restore and ended up with no data. So I repeated the process without the restore and it all worked.) I then used the toolkit to root and install CWM recovery. Still running stock 4.2 but everything is working and I am a bit nervous in flashing a custom rom until I can figure out if it may have just been a ATT problem in my area or some kind of glitch with my phone.
Hope this helps anyone else that may have the same weird problem.

Are you interested in trouble shooting or are you to the point that you're set to jump back to ICS?
If you are interested in trying to figure out your issues; we'd need to know which FK23 you used to start. You said you were stock/unrooted so I'd assume you used the .tar file with Odin, but I don't want to assume.
Like third son, I use Fk23 as my dd and have, so far, had a great experience to my delight. I used the intial .tar with pc Odin.
I would start from scratch. Sounds like you got a flacky install.
I guess I can try again... I followed the youtube video from qbking77 so whatever the video used is what I used lol
I mean I like this update but to buggy for me
So ill give it one more try. Any other way to try it would be great

+1 to this.
OP - Try this link. (I'm am not saying it's better than _dan's, Mattix's, garwynns / nor am I saying unrooted is better than rooted. I'm saying this is the build that's my DD and has been great for me.)
Be advised to backup everything important from your phone prior. Read everything and take your time. I know you were busy but don't rush.
If you have any questions, I'm sure there are a ton of people willing to answer.

No, you don't have to reflash ICS. When you get home and if you have questions before hand, just ask.
Everything you mentioned works fine for me. Except apps disappearing from homepage, I got that too. Unless you move them to the internal sd it will keep happening. Hopefully that's fixed with FL04.. I have way too much apps and need as much on external as possible.

If you have the modem flashed already, don't worry about that one. Look on "about phone" to find out. The rooted one click will give you both kernel and rom. Are you familiar with how to do that? Not being a wise guy....just asking....

[Q] How to use Greenify and Better Battery Stats

There's nothing u can do but wait until the phone becomes familiar with the battery, mine as well died within 5 hours or less I hated it but then I just ignored it nd let it be and we'll I've had this phone for about two weeks nd my average battery life is a day and 2 hours and I'm using wicked as well so just let it settle down plus if you restored apps from the stock rom then u probably want to do a full wipe and start all over again without restoring any apps because the back up u have has the bloat from the stock rom so it eats your battery pretty fast that's wt I did and it fixed it by Givin me two extra hours and also download gsam battery monitor and checks was using a lot of battery...

Then that must be the problem.. Like I said on the previous post, restoring apps from a stock rom could also bring lots of bloat and will eat up your battery so just do a full wipe and there's an update for wicked now so either ways u still have to do a full wipe and don't restore your apps or anything and the rom will be ready to go as well as your battery, I'm sorry but there's no other way specially when you have all Ur apps to your own liking but you have to start clean on it...
And once you have everything the way you want it again delete your titanium back up folder and reboot and then back them up again so once you do another update with wicked it will act properly

what about the user apps we backed up from a custom rom?
I'm off the stock since I laid my hands on my phone so I'm pretty sure the backups (TB) I've made was from a custom ROM, does it brings bloats too?
1 more thing, if you still recommend a clean start, is it ok if I keep the TB backup folder to restore the apps using "restore apps only"?
thanks before, your help is greatly appreciated
