3. I updated the phone with the zip file
Now I'm getting an exclamation screen when I try to get into recovery scree (Pressing Home button during boot)
I tried to downgraded using RC29 Image: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip - Followed first 6 steps from http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=8970.0
I'm not able to update or do anything with the phone now.

The same happens with recovery image signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip

I say flash another recovery.img via fastboot.

Hi I have a problem like you....my G1 load only in recovery mode(Hold power=recovery, hold home+power=recovery, camera+power=recovery)
Did you fix your G1??? Please help me fix it

I haven't fixed it yet. Am not able to place the recovery image using fastboot - my phone is not recognized by the computer

Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:
1. Follow the root procedure.
2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).
3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)
4. Run terminal commands like so:
$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)
#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
#reboot
5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.
Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).

Thanks
2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)
4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?
Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!

Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.
CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.
Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.
His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.
CM Rom page
You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.
You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.

My problem consist of that i can't turn on my phone and i can't get into bootloader...only recovery can you give me a link for RC29 download and then install it from recovery on my g1 from recovery.
Thanks!

You don't...with the DREAMIMG.nbh or any .nbh file you start up the phone holding power+camera. The recovery mode looks for an update.img file. You'll make it through, don't get frustrated.
Here's a more updated rooting guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416

Just loaded Cyano ROM (newest), reboot is taking too long.

Hello!
I followed this guide and read the comments of everyone, and it's a reliable guide to rooting and installing a new ROM. The rooting went perfect, so I decided to go further and load cyanogen's latest ROM.
Power off your phone.
Boot into recovery mode. (Press and hold the Home key, then hit the power button).
Before you flash a rom file, perform a wipe. Press Alt+W to wipe the data and cache folders. You must wipe when going form different builds of Android.
Wait for the wipe to finish and the recovery image to display again, then select “apply any zip from sd”. Flash the zip file of your choice.
After flashing any zip you should be able to reboot your system and watch it load to the home screen.
After changing Android builds, it came take several minutes for the first boot. If you phone hangs on the animated Android logo, this is because you did not perform a wipe. If you are stuck in a boot loop, return to the recovery image and make sure you wipe.

-Taken from the guide
At the first time I rebooted it took me back to recovery, so using logic I rebooted again and now it is stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen (the one before it normally shows the android)...
I know it's supposed to take several minutes.. but 30minutes is ridiculous -.-"
Can somebody please help me out before I do something stupid and remove the battery? Thanks so much..

You need to read a bit more then, because you would have learned that you have to install the 1.6ADP fro Htc before installing a cyanogen rom, that is one of the things you would know if you followed the guide in his thread...

Don't think so It didn't say anything in this guide about that and several comments below recently show that they succeeded with the process..

You have to listen to cyanogen plus that might be a different rom like enom or something.Cyanogen has a different maybe tricky install method.
You need to goto his thread.

-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-XXXX
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into Amon_RA recovery by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod (update-cm-xxxx-signed.zip)
-Then reboot the phone

Thanks a lot man.
I found the 1.6 ADP file and I have it downloaded onto my computer. Is there anyway I can put this on my SD card? It won't let me.. :/ If I could somehow get this on there, run it.. and THEN run the cyanogenrom.zip I think it could work again?

You need to delete the partitions with console while in recovery mode.
1.console
3.parted dev/block/mmcblk0
4.print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
reboot recovery
Dont rename any of the files just leave them.
Now try it on your pc.

Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.
I took your advice and did those steps and it rebooted me into recovery like you commanded. I plugged it via USB into my computer hoping that the computer would recognize it and let me put the file on the SD card - but to no avail.
What is the next step I can take?

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
I loaded the radio first...
and then I loaded the SPL...
and then I loaded the ROM...
I didn't go out of order. Was the problem that I didn't have the 1.6 ADP on my SD?
@Ace42: If I get a card reader and add the 1.6 ADP (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip) to my sd card.... and load it. Can you tell me what to do from there?
Do I load that zip and then reload the ROM?

You may want to try Dwang1.13 rom. I don't think his rom requires the extra step to get the google apps.

[Q] confused, some help please

ok i set up ADB
Rooted the phone with Superboot
oem unlocked
flashed recovery-ra-nexus-v2.2.1
here's the problem
Next step i want to do is to install a custom rom.
So I try to do the following
"1. Download the ROM you want from our Nexus One ROMs section.
2. Turn off the phone.
3. Turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the bootloader screen comes up. Let it finish searching then select Recovery by using the volume buttons and click power to select.
4. Once the recovery screen comes up, select Nandroid Backup (to save a backup just in case, optional)
5. Then select Mass Storage On and plug your phone into the computer.
6. Copy the ROM .zip file to your phone’s SD card then unplug the phone.
7. Click USB MS Toggle."
Problem is i don't see nandorid backup, nor do I know where USB MS Toggle is located.
Rom is on my SdCard.
can i just flash Clockwork? :/

go for 4EXT. its the best out there nw.

4ext is nice I use it now. did use amon_ra for 2 years no issues
don't like clockwork
if you go 4ext bu's are in clockwork backup folder
usb toggle should be on first ra screen under reboot now
nandroids or "backups" are under "backup/restore", however you should see nandroid folder on sdcard
if you just flashed a new recovery for first time did you remove this file to allow your recovery to stick--/system/etc/install-recovery.sh may be no issue for you at this point.

I'll try these out...

NP hit our thanks buttons if we helped

I managed to get into recovery and flash a rom, BUT....after I successfully install the rom and reboot. I just get a black screen that leads to nothing :/
Oh and the led buttons light up when i press the power button

Propably you just didnt wipe data. The entry is called something like format data/factory reset.

Did you follow this on installing recovery and removing stock recovery image as mentioned above, you can also remove it with root explorer if it is on phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Nexus_One/Recovery_Images#Installing_a_Recovery_Image
try to pull/reinstall battery and see if it boots
did you wipe all 3x with amon ra before flashing, should do system too--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/Extreme-wipe.zip flashes from recovery
and I like sdformatter to format card then partition 1gb ext4 0swap
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht
if battery pull don't work, pwr off and press trackball and pwr at same time and see if you can get into bootoader. there you can get into recovery, rewipe all 3x and reflash rom
did you check md5 with a a file mgr like es file explorer
what a2sd are you using, I prefer Dark Tremor beta4, flash it after rom and reboot, reboot again then with terminal emulator run the DT scripts as mentioned on Op of thread
worse case go back into adb/fastboot window and reflash recovery as per above link, wipe, and reflash rom
you can even wipe phone and fastboot rom thru command window by extracting the roms system and boot images and placing on sd card where you had ra recovery and fastbooting them--little more complicated and no need to try yet
just some ideas for now--

britemb 1332
Ok this is exactly what I have done from the start
Oem unlock
flashed recovery-ra-nexus-v1.7.0.1 (because the later ones don't work) through superboot
Went into recovery
I had previously formatted the sdcard with sd formatter as you suggested
converted ext2 to ext3
converted ext3 to ext4
-Did NOT use Dark Tremor, cause idk how to use it (don't understand instructions)-
wiped with Extreme wipe
flashed rom - Bugless Beast
reboot
and still black screen-led buttons light up and turn on and off as i press the power button.
hope that gives you a better idea of what i have done.
still no luck

can you get back to your stock rom
that recovery is too old
if so try ext4 from market or a pre 3.0 clockwork
am not sure why amon 2.2.1 won't fastboot
i did not use superboot so not familiar with it
i set up sdk/adb/fastboot--oem unlocked--fastbbooted amon ra--then flashed a rom with superboot in it
did you remove stock recovery
are you fastbooting the recovery or going thru a terminal on phone

i cannot go into phone and into market (as phone won't load)
I did NOT remove stocke recovery (link to file is broken)
and I am fastbooting the recovery

not sure what's wrong
you do have sdk installed? and when you type adb devices and fastboot devices you do see phone ID--?
and your images you fastboot are in your fastboot.exe folder ie "tools" for
it must be all correct or couldn't have fastbooted old recovery--just asking
do you have a backup (nandroid) on sdcard and maybe even backup sdcard at this point--i put all by bu's on pc as soon as i bu to phone
not sure what the lights mean
can you boot in to fastboot screen as i mentioned above and see hboot you have--could be an hboot or boot partition issue
not sure i want to instruct you on that--you would have to get correct hboot to fastboot
here is amon 2.2.1 i used
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/AmonRa 2.2.1.mht
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Could try
1) Boot into fastboot and plug into your computer.
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
here is passimg link if you want to go back to stock and start over

I've done the Passimg method and nothing, still a black screen with the led buttons going on and off as you press the power button.

don't know--sorry
maybe google your problem
pull battery and leave out 15 minutes
try another battery
do you get vibrations when the screen goes off and any orange light

make very sure that you name the file PASSIMG.zip and not PASSIMG.zip.zip cos windows hadles the files such way.
after that reboot into bootloader (power+trackball) and then choose Bootloader by pressing power button. nw your phone should detect the passimg.zip and should be reverted back to stock.

[Q] Clean fresh Install OS - Required

Hi..
I was trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device to Android 4.0.4.
i just installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on my device by rebooting and selecting (install zip from sd card).
------using mentioned combination of keys -------
Then i placed the files in my phone's internal SD Card.
files are mentioned below:
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
then install 1 by choosing from internal SD card and then 2nd file.
my device prompted completion success messages but it took very short time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now what happened after doing this. my device is displaying same booting screen of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on each re-boot.
i treid many times by unplug the battrey but unfortunately unsuccessfull.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried it through window's based utility Odin v4.43 but it could detect my device usb driver even after success of USB driver installation.
it didn't display Added in message box.
now what should i do ?
i already installed samsung Kies but still undetected.
I tried some old version of Odin 3v1.8 , it detected the port and displayed Added but failed to write ROM on my device.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My desktop machine's OS : windows 8 64 bit enterprise edition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am unable to install new ofor revert back my OS because when i Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, This is not putting me in Download Mode instead Ramdump Mode.
I need your guidence to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.
Please ask for further details if required.

I'm not sure I got exactly what you did.
1) You installed CWM recovery.
2) You rebooted into recovery.
3) You installed the CM ROM zip.
4) You installed the GApps zip.
5) You rebooted.
Am I right ? And now you only get access to the recovery ?
If you're coming from a GingerBread ROM, this is normal. Simply, re-install the ROM again (and the GApps obviously). If it doesn't work, tell us.

Hi Einril.
I try to summarize in some chunks for better understanding.
=======================================================================================
Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask further please if anything is unclear, i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Did you try to re-install the ROM from the recovery ? (flash cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip again)

Hi Erinil,
I think i installed but not sure.
Could you elaborate the re-install ROM steps ?
I tried but same recovery display of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, comes again and stay on recovery mode screen.
How my OS will be started?
It might be possible , i am doing something wrong.
Could you enlist the steps?

Ok.
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
This, I think, is the cleanest install you can do. Tell me the result.

Einril I tried it same as you explained in steps.
It didn't worked nor display any error during this process.
I think my problem is that. when i start my device it automatically entered into the recovery mode of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4..
whether i hold Vol+ and Powerbutton or not, it entered into the recovery mode each reboot.
It might be possible that OS has been installed sucessfull but how the OS will be started now?

Hum, that's strange. You say you can access to Download Mode ? Are you able to flash back the Samsung stock ROM ?

Hi Einril,
What does that mean? Means that Reverting to Gingerbread through Desktop Window OS?
I am unable to revert from my One Laptop (i7 3610 & WIndow 8 - 64 bit) but i am able to revert from my OLD laptop (OS is : window 7 32 bit)

Ok, I heard that some people are having issues with USB drivers on Windows 8. But if you can restore Gingerbread with your old computer, this is great.
Can you try to re-install a stock gingerbread firmware, with re-partition enabled, and then to try again the procedure I gave you ? This way, we are sure that your previous attempts have no effects on the result.

Einril, I have installed stock gingerbread firmware on my device and it is working now.
now guide please how to re-partition? Do you mean using CWM recovery ?
Could you simply enlist the thing which i will have to do now on fresh gingerbread OS?
I 'll tell you today night because right now i am not at home.

Well, if your gingerbread frmware is working, you don't need to repartition.
Now, simply re-install ClockworkMod Recovery, and re-do the whole installation process I gave you. By the way, you said you installed ClockworkMod recovery by flashing a zip in recovery. Isn't it supposed to be a .tar.md5 to flash via Odin ?

Yes i installed ClockworkMode Recovery from recovery mode.
I haven't tried with .tar.md5 using Odin4.43.
I 'll try with both throught Clockworkmode and Odin.
In fact i have tried many time 2-3 months ago too through TeamWin Recovery . problem was same.
It didn't start my OS instead displaying its recovery screen and operations.

i tried but all in vain.
Couldn;t be successful.
it just start from CWM recovery mode and so. not switching into the other mode.

[Q] Clear Install Android 4.0.4

Hi..
I want to clean install Android 4.0.4 OS on my Samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device.
Clean install means that i 'll have to install OS from scratch. Does i need Micro USb Jig for this purpose?
I have below files.
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
4> CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
Guide me in simple steps , i tried many times to install ICS (Android 4.0.4) but unfortunately unsuccessfull each time.
Why it didn't work for me?
I have tried in many ways. Thanks in advancee

Hey,
Could you tell me what was unsuccessful about the install? Did it stop installing, did it bootloop, so on so forth?
But this is how I flashed CM9 onto my I9000, and I know that the I9001 is very similar so...
1.) You've got CWM, sweet. Boot into recovery. Make a bckup of your data through the option provided.
2.) Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache. The first two are pretty simple to do, the last one is under "Advanced" settings.
3.) Now that you've got that, select "Install zip from SD". Navigate to where your CM9 file is. Select and confirm. Wait for it to flash in...
4.) At this point you might get a recovery bootloop. Don't panic here- just take out the battery, reinsert. Reboot into recovery. You should see that your recovery has been updated.
5.) Reselect the rom from the "Install zip from SD" option. This time it should start flashing in. Wait for it to finish, then it should reboot normally. Be patient as it boots up for the first time.
6.) Once you've done so, reboot into recovery again but this time select the gapps zip.
Unless the I9001 is different in a major way in terms of installing, that should work. I'm not quite sure...
Hope I helped

Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask please i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Perfectly simple guide! Thanks.:good:
The only thing I want to ask - what is the backup you have mentioned in point 1)? Is it back up of your personal data, or is it back up of your current ROM?

Hey man, glad I made it simple
Yeah, its a backup of your whole rom I believe- system apps, system files, all your downloaded apps all your data, so on so forth.
Helps you get back to what you were running before in case something goes wrong during installation.

Hmmm... Okay, I see...
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4? Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
Again, hope I helped

hi .
i am trying to give answer in point:
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4?
-> yes i t was exactly CWM 5.5.0.4.
Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
-> Could you elaborate the above sentence please? As long as i understood I initially installed CWM recovery through recovery mode by holding +Vol + Power+ Home.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
-> Yes i have been reverted through Odin Stock Gingerbread. How to root again? Could you please enlist in points?
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
-> I don't think it's a bootlooping situation. When i start my device , It dispays CWM recovery screen each time even after the sucessull completion of CM9 and gapps,
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
-> I tried it many time right now and 2-3 months ago too but it took almost 20 - 30 seconds in first attempt.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
-> I tried through Wipe and with it but could start my OS. Instead it display everytime a CWM screen.
=================================================================================================
In last , i did below steps :
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.

Go into the cm10 thread by ivendor in developement section and in the middle of the 1st post is a download link for cwm 6.0.1.9. Flash it in recovery and reboot. The Problem should be gone.
Had the same issue.
Hope i helped

Hi Markey.
Do you mean that I 'll have to get CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 and then installed with same approach as i aforesaid?
Elaborate please if i misunderstood. Thanks

No i meant that you can install everything like in your guide and after that you install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot, then you should be in recovery and then you have to reboot your phone and it should start normally
This solved it for me
Hope i helped

That's what I understood now:
0.5) Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
1) Boot into CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 Recovery mode.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot
10) Then install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot.
It could be solution, i will try and 'll tell at today night (after 6 hours).

It should be the right way but you can skip step 5 and 9

Dear Markey,
Whyn't should i start from cwm 6.0.1.9 rather than CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 .
Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

I don't know if cwm 6.0.1.9 supports cm9 but it should.
You could try it out and tell me back

when i go in advance and select wipe dalvik cache option.
it display an error:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik Cache wiped.
After completion of each step, i tried again but still not start OS.

Got the same error, i think its normal
Ok, then flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043 in recovery, reboot and tell me back if it works
Or you could try this way if the other isn't working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928219&d=1330695090 its the stock recovery, flash it in recovery and reboot and tell me back. I think you should first try stock recovery and then the other file. Sry for the wrong order
Hope it will work again

I mean that you have to install them via recovery with install update from sd card or with install zip from sd card -> its called flashing
And i meant that you have to install the first file first and reboot and if its not working when you reboot then install the stock recovery and then the problem should be solved. But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
Hope i could help

Markey,
I did the same as you are saying and got the above error on each file.
Could you explain the below linw please ?
But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
What i 'll have to do now?

Which recovery do you use?
Cwm or stock recovery?
If you use stock then you have to reboot without installing one of the files and the problem should be solved
I meant that if you want to install another kernel or custom Rom you have to install the cwm recovery because its better then stock and after installation of the Rom or kernel you have to reinstall the stock recovery
If you don't understand i'll write you a guide for what you have to do
