You say you can't install any ROM? What other ROM have you tried besides CM10? Have you tried re-downloading the zip file?

Seems like a bad download. Delete your current cm10 zip and re-download it.

[Q] Can't install Foursquare in CM 7.2. Fix?

Yesterday I flashed CM 7.2 (latest nightly build) in my Galaxy Mini. Everything's running perfect, except for Foursquare app, which I had earlier and can't install now. Market says it's incompatible with the phone (it obviously isn't); doesn't appear when searching for it through Google Play.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
PD: Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums Greetings from Chile.

download fsq apk first from here :
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30550751/Software/Android/APK/com.joelapenna.foursquared-2012060800.apk
install it normally, or if this can't be installed too then,
use root explorer, copy it into system/app and set permissions into rw-r--r--
or like this :

you should flash ROM and Gapps before you reboot phone, like this and always use the developers signed or recommended gapps as mentioned in their thread

Make sure you are doing all the 3 wipes(data+cache+dalvik cache) before flashing the ROMs.
Also try the different g apps file as your g apps file may be corrupted.
I'm doing all the 3 wipes,i flash the rom and immetiately after rom installation i try to install gapps and the phone shuts down.
I also tried other gapps files but it didnt work.

Strange!
If you didn't download from the links in the opening post, can you post here the links where did you download the files from? Do it without www on the beginning as new users aren't allowed to post the links.

[Q] Dual boot - I need stock kernel.md5

Hello,
I am trying to dual boot my device using the instructions of BOOTMGR, which you can find in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521917
But when I am in CM I need the stock kernel, which is an '.md5' file. When I extract the stock firmware from sammobile, I get two bin.md5 files.
I also tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119 but it is also an .bin.md5 file, and both bin.md5 files don't work. Does anyone know where I can find the stock.md5 file, or how I can get it/convert it?
Thanks.
Take cocore kernel and rename it to stock.md5

I did this: I extracted the 'cocore.tar.md5' file. Then I got the 'cocore.bin.md5' file and I renamed this to 'stock.md5'. I placed this file in the stock folder and now it is stuck again on bootscreen.
So I got this on my device: 'Dual Boot'>'Stock'>stock.md5.

I tried it with Paranoid Android and then with CM10.2. If i don't change the kernel it just boots the custom rom. If I change the kernel I need to flash the stock firmware so it will work again.
First before you do anything with dual boot, flash odin. After you got the original firmware then flash cocore kernel. After that take cocore kernel md5 file renamed in into stock.md5 and put it into respective folder. Hope this works for you because it works for me

Sorry, I do not use DUALBOOT so I can not tell anything about that. Maybe you should ask this in the dedicated topic.
