When I am on TW jellybean I have updated mt PRL and profile and when it reboots all I get is the splash screen. That's it. I can still hear notifications and when my phone rings. Only way out that I have seen was to use Odin. I had this happen on Jellyverse GB27, TBSGS3 GB08, and Kobridge GB27. On the TBSGS3 it happened after I had opened the camera. All of them had the stock kernel as well. I have been running CM10.1 which I'm back on now but I was wondering if anybody else has dealt with this?
Are you running restore odin packages after running an AOSP ROM?

No, I boot EL26 and go from there. Should I have ran odin first? I never had these problems before, I was thinking maybe my phone is getting tired of the flashing lol.
After cm10.1 you need to do a full restore, thats wipe and then some x2 , partitions are very important on jb and the only way to do that is with a total restore. Restore back to a stock running jb.
I would try that after backing up your phone to your pc . Or using EL29 btr .

I always wipe, HA! Seriously though I do the JB 2x wipe, and never had this happen before till recently. Kind of weird and very annoying. Oh well, I suppose I have to take it with a grain of salt as I am running ROMs that shouldn't be on my phone yet. Thanks for the help though.

No I actually haven't tried this one.. I normally Odin EL29 and mobile odin EL26 and go from there. Lately I have been Odining FI27 and then moblie odin EL26. I have used the direct boot EL29 but sometimes it seems a lil wOnKy and won't flash things. EL26 seems to be the best for me. Maybe me doing these from FI27 is what's causing the dilemma? I used to run GB08 all day and had no problems.
You see gb08 all day and no problem!
Forget about all fl, fk, odin stuff for now, backup your sd's to your pc, d/l the current o/c gb27 rooted/restore and do your phone a favor, let it have some stock/rooted jb, at least until source drops. By then devs will be able to cook up some proper roms with recovery and flashing will be fun all over again.

So since we last spoke about this matter I Odin'd GB27 and NO problems. Had a setup I liked then of course TBSGS4 came out today and the exact same problem happened after I update PRL and profile. She starts to boot and like clockwork after the boot animation it sits there. When you've flashed other ROMs are you updating the prl and profile? I am not sure but maybe my phone is a turd? I had a brick I believe when AOKP was fairly new still and got a replacement E4GT. With the replacement it was all good except for the fact that my USB jig no longer worked. I even flashed that old EG31 bootloader and it still won't clear my counter on this phone, so maybe it's this device? I haven't seen anybody else with this problem. My phone doesn't have any other prob's just this TW JB ordeal, except on the stock/rooted. I can do my ad blocker and reboot and all that. How annoying lol!
Did you do a full restore?

Thanks, happy Easter to you as well. It is running and that was the first flash I did from stock GB27, I use mobile odin and flash EL26 and do the normal routine of wiping and it still messed up after I set it up. All that is pretty much google setting up my apps too, so it can't be TB backups. I am back to another full Odin restore now of GB27. So I will probably stay with this for a bit because it gets a lil tiring with the whole SD card file transfers now lol, although I am getting fast at it lol!

You may have some sort of corrupted file or bad download somewere that's causing the bork.
TB is a great app and does a lor but it is known to cause issues with b/a's . There could be corrupt data or incompatible data that your trying to restore. When staying within the same build jb to jb, ics to ics, its usually no issue but mixing builds or throwing cm whatever into the mix can create data restore problems. I never restore any data on my phone, just Google stuff contacts and mail.
Isolate your file or app restore and try phone out in between procedures, maybe you can find whats causing the bork. Are you b/u games on your phone?

All backups are from JB, and I've been allowing Google to set up my apps in the beginning now so I haven't even needed to do any TB installs. I only sign in my Google account and let my phone do the rest. I have had some games but they aren't on either storage since Odin wiped everything. There is something WoNkY going on somewhere in my phone though, maybe I will look closer into some of the folders on my phone/card.

So I flashed the Samurai Kernel over the rebirth RC. The post blatantly said to have patience. How much patience should I have? It has sat at the Samsung screen for over 10 minutes - should I wipe everything x3 and reflash again? Keep waiting? Should I throw my "epic" failphone against a wall?
What say you xda?
Crap like this happens often. If you test or build your own roms, kernels, themes, mods, this stuff is normal and you just deal with it. Redownload, reflash, and try again. If you continue to have issues, either you don't know what your doing, or maybe you should ask for help with a more positive tone.

I'd recommend using odin to either go back to stock EC05 and use the the one click root/cwm purple recovery and then boot up, turn on usb mass storage and copy a rom that already has the kernel in it like ACS ICS. That's the best way imo to have a successful flash with no hiccups.
Or, take the easy way out and just boot into recovery and flash the ICS ACS rom after wiping data, cache, dalvik x3.
Also, please keep in mind that official gingerbread is still very young in this community and it'll take a few weeks to get everything working smoothing and seemlessly as far as roms/kernels go.

Nandroid just in case as you should anyways. Load up TB just in case as you should anyways and flash. I thought I heard it does not wipe data but these precautions should be taken anyways.
If you wipe all and do it right the first time then it can save later problems if any..
IMHO
Beat me to it, nice.

So far the Phone Icon is different. You now have infinite scrolling on the launcher windows like in app section (doesn't stop at the edges just keeps scrolling windows). Modem and all are EL26. Maybe imagining things but feels snappier than EL13. IMO the wakeup and unlock is more fluid now. It doesn't wipe your data. Receiving phone call window is new but looks "unfinished" to me.

In my experience yes. Mine wasn't horrible on EL13 but it went from between 1 to 2 seconds to between instant and 1 second. So for me it is cut in half.
I have an Epic 4G Touch that is rooted and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. I have been trying to flash EL29 through CWM and it seems to flash. But when my phone re-boots and I check the build number, it always says Gingerbread EG30. I noticed in the kernel and baseband version numbers it has the letters EL29, but the build number never changes. I'm looking to do the proper sequence of events to install ICS without wiping all my apps and data (if that is possible). Maybe I'm just not downloading the proper zip files. Any help is appreciated.

Use sfhub's one click to install EL26, then you should be able to flash an ICS ROM.
I would try to download the zip again and then try a different one if it doesn't work. On a side note I went from el29 to stock Deodexed FF18 and Team rejects universe 1.3 without wiping data and it was fine. Just remember to make a backup first just in case.

All of team rejectz can get you on FF18. I suggest you get a couple fee apps, .... App Back up and contact back up, both free on the market. Then back up your stuff, with those 2 apps and wipe, flash and go!

Yeah, I bit the bullet and installed windows on my mac and did the odin one-click restore. fixed the sd issues.
and in the stock rom, rotation was working.
however when I flashed back to miui rotation was borked again.
So I flashed back and turned off "use calibration data" then back to miui and still a no go.
using the GyroRotate app, it seems that the gyro is working fine, it also works in photoshpere, but as far as regular rotation goes it doesn't work. regular camera rotation and maps and browser etc. it won't rotate. I wish I could try exit_only's gyro fix but it seems to break miui.
Can't you figure it out by now?
The stuff your flashing is borking your phone.
If actual us of the phone (calls, messages) isn't a priority then just keep on flashing.
Well at least you know how to fix it now.

So the full stock restore does not wipe data (pictures and downloaded folders etc etc) but it does format? how about the no data restore what does that do that kill all your data.
I guess what im getting at is which is the better option. Also how has GB27 performed for you thus far?
Should've said. .restore no data or restire data. something like that. I always uses the full wipe and just moved important stuff to sd card. Want to start from scratch qith no chance for any lingering pieces

Restore wipes all data except your sd card, whether it's rooted or not.
Nodata keeps all your data intact, rooted or not.
Use restore if coming from ics, gingerbread or any custom rom.
Use nodata if already running jelly bean.
Ics, gb, assorted other builds CM and such data can make a mess of your phone if installing jelly bean.
Has to do with system partitions.
