Troubleshooting android

I’m trying to add a skybox to a mobile game. But I get this:

E/com.jme3.app.AndroidHarnessFragment( 2519): SEVERE Exception thrown in Thread[GLThread 2469,5,main]

The skybox is divided into 6 images and they are in .jpg format. Just loading the scene with skybox causes no problem, but when I try to attach the scene to rootNode, that error happens.
Anyone knows how to fix or bypass this?

upping this, i also have the same problem. answer please…
edit: i got i., i use j3o before for skybox, now I created it though skyfactory instead. use png or if you want to use jpg, open jpg in gimp and re-export it with unchecked progressive in export option.
