[Q] Custom Rom Wizards crashing - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys i have a samsung i747 from rogers and i'm trying to install custom roms. I've obviously rooted it and installed CM recovery and downloaded roms and gapps. So far i've tried liquidsmooth 2.8. Avatar Rom. Cyanogen. but nothing seems to be working. Every single one of the them keeps telling me that my setup wizard had crashed and my gapps weren't working. I earlier had a Status 7 error installing cyano and avatar so i flashed d2att's 07.05.13 kernel, but that didn't seem to help. I tried running a different version of the clockworkmod recovery too. I've hardly ever "dirty" flashed. Someone help me out here i hate custom roms!!!

Wipe
Data
Cache
Delvik Cache
and Factory Reset.
Make sure you're flashing the correct GApps for android 4.2.x
Flashing a kernel has nothing to do with a status 7 error.
A status 7 error points to a outdated recovery or bootloader.
You should get ANY errors.
If you hate flashing why do it??
I honestly don't get that...
If you're here to make your phone to look "cool" you're in the wrong place.

I would get TWRP recovery.. wipe dalvik / factory reset. and re-flash your rom.. I'm on Rogers as well and the status 7 error means that your recovery / bootloader is outdated.
So start by getting the most recent TWRP. I got it from goo.
btw: if you don't like custom rom, i suggest going to the sammobile site and getting your factory firmware. Use Odin to reflash back to stock. That should solve your hiatus towards custom roms...

correction
thanks guys but idk i just tried flashing a custom rom at 4.1.2 and then went up from the there and it was fine... for the status 7 i just adjusted the coding for it so it didn`t have to check the model and this was typed up like at like 2 in the morning where i`m from i meant to say i hate stock roms LMAO:silly:

Flashing JB Roms causes bootloops

Hello guys!
As the title says, I keep on having boot loops after flashing any custom JB Roms (Jedi, LiquidSmooth, CM Nightly, Slimbean). I'm not new to flashing roms (I got LG units though, SU660 and KU5900). When I tried flashing ICS Roms, I don't have any problem. But I want JB that bad!
I followed KonstantinKeller's thread of restoring/recovering from a bad flash (going back to GB), rooted following Melvin's thread. Then did all the prerequisites..like the common wiping of data, clear cache & davlik. But then again after flashing JB roms listed above, I keep on having boot loops!
What did I do wrong? This ain't my first time flashing (first time on this phone -T989- though)
I read some posts with almost the same problem, but I don't think I found a solution for this. Any good soul that can extend their help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I got a bootloop before when trying to flash JB roms and what I did was restore to original state (using the bad flash recovery technique), and then not rooting it but installing cwm through Odin and dirty flashing the Rom in cwm. Once it flashed I used it for a few to make sure that everything was working correctly. Then I got the goo manager app and got twrp. After that I followed all the steps in the OP (Jedi jelly) and flashed the Rom. Now I'm running Jedi jelly 3.1 perfectly. Hope this method helps.

are you using darkside scripts to wipe? because they will cause bootloops

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is there any way to reverse the loop that the darkside wipe is causing?
it REALLY sounds like the recovery u are using is TOO OLD. Make sure u are using the latest version of twrp (2.3.3) to flash all jellybean roms.
TWRP is backwards compatible and touch capable, so if you're worried about flashing GB or ICS ROMs it'll do the trick just fine
it is however a requirement for flashing all 4.1 ROMs.
Basic install instructions:
make sure u have root
download goo manager from play
open > menu > install open script recovery
agree to everything, but make sure t989 is in the downloaded image name
reboot to recovery u should see twrp

weird issue - not able to install custom ROMs

this is just weird, as i have been installing custom ROM like crazy...
but for some time i was on CM 10.1.2 and didnt install any custom ROM, but i felt like coming back to TW based ROMs, so tried installing DeTmobilized 1.5, but phone stuck at boot screen, i tried to restart by pulling battery out but phone displayed "encryption failed" and kept on showing phone.apk stopped working (something similar). so i decided to ODIN to stock and start fresh, this time i tried installed Dandroid 3.8.1 and it worked, so i thought of giving DeTmobilized one more try, but again it got stuck at samsung letters at the boot.
so i decided to stick with Dandroid for a while, but now i cannot install that too. it gets stuck while booting. but if i ODIN to stock everything works fine on stock firmware, its only the custom ROMs that are not working.
i also tried repartitioning using PIT file along with stock md5 hoping that would solve this issue, but it hasnt.
i need help, i cannot stay on stock ROM.
thank you.

boot into recovery and wipe cache partition along with davik, that should fix the stuck
also do remember first boot will always take a while
also make sure you're using the latest custom recovery (either twrp or cwm)
i would also like to note here that i tried installing AOSP based ROMs also, and AOKP didnt work, got stuck at nexus like boot animation forever, but when i tried installing CM10.1.2 (which is what i was running when i tried to get back to TW based ROM) it worked perfectly, so for now i am back to CM, but i would really get back to flashing different ROMs and trying them out. just makes me wonder if CM is the reason i am not able to install anything else, just a thought...
has anybody else tried going to any other ROMs from CM 10.1.2?
your help is appreciated!

i have latest recovery , TWRP 2.6.0.0 and i have given more than an hour to boot up and still nothing. i have been flashing ROMs like an addict since i got this phone last year, but when CM 10.1 stable was released i stayed on it till today, but now i cannot install any other ROM, i can odin to stock 4.1.1 ROM or install cm 10.1.2 which i did just now, but no other ROM, either TW based on AOSP based is working...which is very weird for me.
Were you able to fix this issue at all? I am facing the same issue, in my case, the phone was encrypted on stock TW. I roooted and put in CM 10.1.2 and now when I try installing Dandroid, the install itself would work but I am struck at the "type password to unlock the screen". If I reflash CM10.1.2, I can login fine. Any pointers?

AOSP roms will NOT run! Driving me crazy...

So, first off, just wanna say that I have a RIDICULOUS amount of experience with flashing roms. Literally over 100 different devices and 1000s of different flashes of my own devices on top of it. Quite familiar with this S2 as well and have customized them to all sorts of extents, but this one has me baffled. This phone refuses to run 4.2.2/4.3/4.4.x roms. Using the most up to date radio and the suggested TWRP (2.6.1.0) as well as CWM 6.0.44 and the newer TWRP: 2.6.3.0. Every time the phone will get to the set up screen, refreeze and boot. No issues running stock or stock based 4.1.2 roms. I've tried changing recoveries, wiping everything (/system, /data, /caches) repeatedly, Odin back to stock and redoing everything, switching kernels, wiping caches before rebooting and leaving it be, changing batteries, etc but nothing has worked. So far I've tried BlackLiquid 2.92 (4.2.2 stable), Awesome Audio rom (4.3), official CM11 (whatever the last build up was last night), and BeanStalk 4.4.2 (12/16) and all behave exactly the same - freeze on start up and reboot. This doesn't seem to be much of a widespread issue obviously, so just baffled and getting a bit frustrated as this should have been a 20 minute process that has turned into a few hours already. Since USB Debugging isn't on by default on newer roms, how would I even do a logcat to see if there is anything meaningful there? Any ideas?
Update: I have another S2. Performed same steps, same TWRP, same radio and rom, on same external SD card and that one booted right up like normal confirming that it is the phone itself, but what causes that?? Corrupted partitions?
I have the same problem, just format your internal and external sd card with just ROM file on your storage then try to install, than please inform me

Nope. No luck there (only tried Beanstalk so far, but exact same issue). Thanks for the suggestion though! Only using internal storage, no SD card, though thinking I might try that next...
Edit: Just to be thorough, I formatted internal storage via TWRP and my computer then readded the files and just tried to boot rom only and freezes before I can do anything.
Do you by chance have a refurbished s2?
The screen has been replaced by a friend of mine and he managed to mess up the soft keys with it, but everything else functions. That's actually why he sent it to me, so I could hook him up with Pie and all that kind of thing so the soft keys aren't an issue. What's your thoughts on the refurb side of it?

ok lets stat it with this
1) download both the scripts of infamous wipe cache and infamous super wipe.
2) format your both SD card with PC (FAT32)
2) put both these wipe files and and your rom file ( i prefer try slimbean rom first)
3) Now in twrp 2.6.0.0- follow the steps
i) format your phone with twrp options
ii) again format your phone with infamous super file. (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iii) than format with infamouse cache file (by going in to INSTALL ZIP file option in TWRP)
iv) install your rom and compatiable GAPPS zip file.
v) after installing or somewhere between procedure if twrp says something about supersu birnaries are not correct than click on DO . NOT FIX
vi) again format infamouse cache wipe.
vii) now FINALLY reboot the rom.
it should work, and it worked for me. if u sucessfully run the rom than you can eailsy run all the AOSP roms in this forum. Again If you try this please do tell me what happend.
Followed to a "T" and still in the same boat - freezes after bootup. I used those same steps before with another darkside wipe script (maybe older?) but yea, have already been down that road. I did downgrade to 2.6.0.0 and used Slim 4.3 because 4.4 is supposed to use the newer TWRP, just to be certain, but GRRR. I guess we're just gonna have to settle for a 4.1.2 rom and call it a day. :/
So here are the log output from the wipes:

I see some stuff at the bottom of those that might indicate something weird, but I am not adept at interpreting these, so just wondering if someone could point me to the right direction about the repair checks and what not listed on these. Thanks!
Edit 2: I did get a AOSP based 4.1.2 rom to boot with no problems! wtf... LoL
Last Edit:
Problem solved! I used basically the same steps I had been doing but once the AOSP 4.1.2 rom booted then now everything works like it should again. Have loaded a 4.3 and 4.4 rom successfully. Thanks for the help!

Interesting, so you're saying it's phone specific?
That begs to ask other questions now:
1. Where did this phone come from? is it a Tmobile version (SGH-T989) or AT&T (i-1900)?
2. You mentioned you got it from a friend; did it come rooted? unlocked? Or did you have to do that process yourself?

Yep, very much phone specific. Used same recovery, same rom zip and gapps off the same external SD card, to be certain. That one updated just like every other S2 I've done. And it's the Tmo version. The At&t models are i777 S2 or i727 S2 Skyrocket. The i9100 is international and has a physical home button. But the phone was not modified at all. No root, custom recovery, etc. I was only able to resolve it by first starting with an AOSP 4.1.2 rom and working my way up to 4.4. One of the weirder issues I've come across.

What did you exactly do? I flashed a 4.1.2 and then flashed a 4.3 based ROM and it didn't work. What recovery version did you use to flash the 4.3 ROM?

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the notifications on XDA very often. I don't usually browse the S2 forums unless needed because I have an N5, but anyway... The 4.1.2 rom you used, was it TW or AOSP type? I used 2.6.0 to wipe everything, then used cache and superwipe zips then 4.1.2 AOSP type rom then cache wipe zip again then after that booted, I was able to go back to 2.6.1 and flash a 4.3 via wiping, wipe zips, installing rom then cache wipe again. After that, repeated with a KK rom and now it loads roms just like it should. If you want more precise help, feel free to hit me up on Hangouts with my username: es0tericcha0s. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be when it gets a little out of whack like this...
I'm in the same boat
Same here. I just bought a galaxy s2 from my friend (tmobile version) and I too get stuck in a bootloop no matter what rom I use. It boots up freezes then reboots 7 keeps doing that endelessly. I've even wiped using twrp & darkside then reflashed the stock rom in odin, but no luck. strangely it only happens on the cellular network, otherwise it works fine on wifi. But when I turn off the wifi and go to the cellular network I can't even turn on the wifi anymore and still stuck in this boot loop It's wierd and frustrating.

Hmm. That's interesting... This is happening on the stock rom - where you turn on cellular data and it reboots? Definitely a different issue than the one I was having. Which stock rom were you flashing via Odin? Have you tried other versions of the stock rom and had the same problem?

I just started working on a VZW S3 on T-Mobile service that has this issue. Happens on stock VZW 4.1.2, stock T-Mobile 4.1.2 rom, custom 4.1.2 T-Mobile rom, and stable CM 10.2. Weirdest thing... full wipes including /system inbetween each flash. Changed the modem too. Nothing helps. Pretty sure it's a bad board at this stage.
Cool beans, 0! Having this exact problem, will try your method for my s2, btw which aosp 4.1.2 did u use? Can I get a link? Thanks been having the problem for a few months now and just gave up haha, been super thirsty for that beanstalk kk build
One last thing can u also provide a link to the 4.3 that u used? I really want it to work and want to follow what u did to the , megabyte

[Q] [SGS2 T-989]Wierd !!! Help plzzzz..all custom roms crashes

Hello guys i'm very new to SGS2 T-989 ...and recently got this 2 year old t-mobile sgh t989 ...and it worked fine for few day..till i trid cm11 as first custom rom on it..it too worked well until i used camera...it rebooted itself ...i thought it was because cm11 is nightly ..so i tried carbon rom ...it worked quit fine for a while......for some reson it to started rebooting after a while ..lastly i tried cm10.2 stable ...it worked quite good i updated with cm updater then after it worked good and affter a while it too strted rebooting ...i thaught of power button failure and replaced it too....and finally flashed stock JB 4.1.2 rom ...it works quite well even till now..but the problem is that i cant install custom roms on it ...any help would be honey in my throught...does any one have the issue...???.....................finally got to tell i'm new to this mobile not for customization of roms ..i tried every thing wipe/data/F.Reset/Delvik/System...and even trie super/dark wipe script too.....hmm the matter is unable to install custom roms/////
What recovery are you using? (latest is 2.8.1.0) get it here! Flashable .zip HereWich Gapps? . . . Stock 4.1.2 have some firmware upgrades so maybe you're good to go now if not you might want to try installing stock via Odin (kill any Kies process before using Odin). Find stock rom Here! You will need to register to dwl. Ooh and dont use darkside wipes scripts as they are outdated, you can/will brick your phone. Just wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and .android_secure
I'm using cwm 6.0.4.3 ...and I flashed stock rom the latest ...I have root and cwm backup too...stock rom works completely perfect ....prblm is with custom roms..
Keep a copy of cmw and your backups just in case and try flashing using twrp. Also read this thread , "Have you ever used odin to flash the factory 4.1.2 UVMC6 rom? Some driver stuff was updated in that version and can only be installed with odin."
I've used odin 3.0.7 to falsh stock t989 latest jb 4.1 ...stock rom works 100%....problem is with 4.2+ roms
Ok was just to be sure its not that.. did you try flashing with twrp??
Also what scheduler/governor are you using? I use sio/samsung (personnal choice) (stable, decent battery life, good performance) found out that some combinaisons crash the phone (reboot)
Just now installed twrp that u mentioned and took a backup....now I will try the cus rom process and tell u the result ...hoping this eleminates my problem...and one more thing...im just using stock rooted rom..had not done any changes with cpu governence...and have a decent battery..
Only problem is with KK and 4.3 Roms
I've changed the rrecovery to twrp latest and tried installing from CM9 worked ,
CM 10.1 even worked [4.2.2] :good: [camera crashes while using flash]
Tried 10.2 had bootloops.....whats wrong with 4.3+...help :crying:
Glad to hear that
Camera is known to crash when using the flash and battery is low.
About 10.2 idk .. maybe it has to do with CM itself (search in CM threads). Try some other roms/kernels combinaison. as long as you have a backup of a working setup you should be good. Personnaly i really liked hellkat w/diablo kernel (4.4.2) and Beanstalk w/wildkernel (4.4.4) but as they say , your mileage may vary.
K that's very helpful and ..tnx for ur sugession

wicked rom will not install.

I've been trying for over a month to get wicked rom installed on my n3 n900t . I'm rooted bootloader unlocked with twrp installed. I've had no issue installing any other rom on this phone I'm currently running alliance 5.0 and resurrection remix 6.0.1 and they work great but I would like to see what wicked is like. ( what it does when trying to install ) OK I have the wicked rom saved to my SD card with 4.4.2 gapps I'll restore my phone to alliance rom which is 4.4.2 and is says in the install it needs to be a 4.4.2 bootloader to install wicked, I'll go into twrp do a full wipe data, delvic,system, wipe it out then install the ROM and gapps package and it'll start to do its thing then get to where it says aramullz xda ( something? ) the progress bar will stop and it'll self boot itself out of twrp and go back to alliance rom and which will be messed up due to doing a full wipe. I like to figure things out on my own that's the fun part but this one's got me. Thanks for any advice.
Did you use terminal or Samsung Phone Info app to verify the bootloader in the phone?
I installed compullsion kernel 4.4.2 before and that failed, tried installing it while flashing the rom and gapps that failed, tried the other older versions of wicked v5 and v4 and v1 they all act exactly the same. I even wiped the whole phone completely cause I got Pissed due to failure ( lol ) flashed a fresh AP in Odin and tried everything again and still failed. I'm in the process of trying to convert the zip file to a tar md5 but having issues that Odin won't except the files cause the ( tar archived ) and I did flash the 4.4.2 bootloader as well. I'm beginning to think wicked doesn't like me.
My bootloader info should be 4.4.2

this the info now which is useless because I'm on alliance 5.0 rom so it originally came from 4.4.2 chainfire zip.

Yes, looks like the phone is on 4.4.2 bootloader. Were you able to install the ROM?

No still nothing I've tried everything I even wiped the entire phone installed the B4 Odin files AP and BL and CSC then flash chain fires autoroot file and twrp. The phone was basically stock 4.4.2. I tried all 3 wicked zips V1 V4 V5 and they all reacted the same way. And I already grabbed these files from different locations to make sure I didn't possibly get a bad batch. I've got every rom to flash on this no problem. Pacman, RR, alliance, slimroms, any cyan rom, I've come to terms no wicked for me. Lol
Lol, finally got wicked installed via flashfire. Twrp wouldn't do it. Super happy really fast rom.
What versions of twrp did you try? Just curious.
Using the newest 3.0.2 I think. Btw wicked rom so far is the most stable coolest rom I've experienced so far. I forsee it as my daily.
I have seen reports of some people having issues with 3.0 and higher so I stick with 2.87 for my devices.
No I actually didn't catch that. Besides that it refusing to install the wicked rom I haven't seen very many other issues. Well sometimes when im restoring a rom in twrp when it boots itll sometimes not in stall a lot of Google Play stuff and the UI will crash and I'll have to restore it again. I actually like the look and the button placement better in the version your using.
