Help: CM10 stuck on boot screen since I flashed it.

Before I used CM10 i just used the stock (flashed latest GB) that came with my phone. So I flashed CWM5 and cleared all the three stuff I was supposed to. I installed the CM10 zip and since then its been stuck on the boot animation, not even a loop. Just the animation.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

Well happened with me once when I had put AOKP ROM in my Galaxy Note.
Here is what I did:
Go to Recovery.
Wipe Cache.
Try reboot
No results?
Recovery again.
WIpe Dalvik Cache Also
Try reboot.
Still no results?
Try to wipe data/fac reset and re flash some other ROM as of now (which you are confident about that it will work)
Now go ahead and let the old ROM boot. (Surely it will, as you would have used prior)
Now, go connect USB and check MD5 of the file you had kept on SD Card (I mean the CM10 file)
I found that my MD5 didnt match.
If you think it didnt match download again.
If you know it matches then go for reflash.
But this time before flashing the new ROM just use some cleaning script such as Ultimate KErnel Cleaning Script. In Galaxy Note I used Jbroid Kernel Script. I aint sure now if you can use Jbroid in Ace.
Goof luck!
Press Thanks

I got it working, what I had to do was flash CM7, then CM9 then CM10 :/ after that it was fine Thanks for the help

Welcome

The problem was with the kernel being different in CM10 and official version.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Next time read the threads for a new kernel or a new Custom Rom here in XDA and follow the installation instructions carefully. This reduces the chances of error dramatically.
But first try to clean the caches and reboot again.

Just wiped Dalvik Cache and Partition Cache but i still can't boot.

Please try the factoy reset.

As the poster before said: factory reset is a possibility.
But: only if you really sure you're using a recovery in a safe kernel. This should be from what you told before.
Another option I would try first:
So I would search for the Philz kernel for your ICS and install this first in CWM. Maybe you can boot with this into Android. If not this gives you a safe environment for factory reset or installing a new Rom

When you want revert from HydraCore v7 kernel you need to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32806581&postcount=10783
After flashing this .zip, see if it boots properly, then you can try flash any other kernel that you want (speedmod, philz, or other version of HydraCore/Notecore)
Edit: oh I see this file isnt avilable anymore, so try this link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_a9lzwtDaN5VnNzME1YUWRKNVk/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks dude, you saved me!
Didn't need to do the factory resets, used this .zip and now i can boot. Think i will stay with that kernel for a while now Maybe later i get back to SpeedMod. But, anyway, thank you all for helping me out with this guys, I really appreciate it.

Galaxy S bootloop

I wanted to flash custom rom on my galaxy S. I flashed clean rom, then kernel with CWM, but there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash rom it ends with bootloop. I tried cm7, cm10, rootbox, miui 2.4. Every time is the same. It starts installing (only few secodns), then screen becames brighter, then restart and bootloop. I tried different kernels, roms but still same result.
ps. sorry for my english

Hi, here is a great guide to fix bootloops:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
Usually, doing factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after intalling the ROM should fix the issue though.

I'm doing all necessary wipes, I can recover from bootloop easly but I want flash custom rom and I can't. Istalling zip lasts few second, not few minutes, there is a problem.

Sorry if this is too basic, but are you using the right ROM for your phone?

of course...

I don't know if I'll be able to help you, but can you please list the exact model of your phone just in case? You can see the different variants here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S#Variants

It is just GT-I9000. Now I managed to flash CM7.2 but if I want install CM9 or CM10 im getting bootloop and can't enter recovery mode ;o

Sorry, I can't really give you an answer with that information. If you are following the steps in each ROMs thread, you should have no problems patching as far as I know (someone more knowledgeable than me may say otherwise).
Maybe posting the exact steps you are following would help me or others to find out what the issue is.

I'm following right steps. It's not my first phone. I know how it should be but it isn't. Here are my steps:
Flash stock ROM w/ODIN v1.85 - OK
Flash CF-Root w/ODIN v1.85
Wipe Data/Wipe Cache
Phone now rooted OK
Boot to CWM Recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Select update on SDCard (cm-7.1.0 from CM site)
Flash completes in just a few seconds
Phone reboots automatically
Now stuck in boot loop
Remove battery
Go to CWM again and reflash CM7.1 zip
Now i have CM7
Reboot to recovery, facotry reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Flash CM9/CM10, finishes in few sec, reboots, then black screen, can't go to recovery mode ;(((
Flashing stock with odin again...and every time is the same, sometimes when I choose CM10 i see info: "Incompatible Partition Layout" so it may be the reason (something with partition, idk)

My phone has never rebooted like that, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do know I use ODIN v3.07. I also have CWM 6.0.2.7
Best of luck finding a solution, sorry I could no be of more help.

I think CWM6 would help but I can't find this version for cm7

IGNORE ALL LINKS BELOW, they are for the wrong phone
I don't think it matters what CM you have on your phone, you should be able to upgrade CWM from recovery: Maybe not in i9000...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
Doesn't work in i9000 as far as I can tell: You can also try installing TWRP, which I like better than CWM and have in a different device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
Finally, and don't take me on this because is just a guess, maybe your bootloader is not working properly? I don't really remember how to do this myself:

You are showing me links to CMW and TWRP for i9001, I have i9000...

You are right, please ignore those links... I do know I patched CWM 6.0.2.7 through ODIN on my phone, so maybe that's the only way. In any case, I'll let you look for the actual links.

[Q] Can't install any ROM (Slim Bean, CM10)

I really was checking the whole internet to find the solution for this but I couldn't find it (I'm a begginer so that might be the problem).
Problem is this.
I have a Samsung I9000 with rooted Gingerbread (BOJV9). I have rooted it with the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3 KERNEL.
So now my phone has a Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVZ-CL762604 [email protected] #2.
And the next thing that I wanted was to install the Slim Bean 4.2.2. So I went to the CWM recovery and I have done the wipe of cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset. everything went ok and fast. then I went to install the Slim Bean and started the install but just when it started, showed on the screen that it is instaling updates, phone just reseted, and Semaphore logo showed up, and was standing there for 10minutes. So I googled and saw that that was some kind of error. So I went CWM recovey and it had a new look because the version changed (from v3 to v6 I think) but I couldnt find data on my external SD card, as if it was deleted, but it was not, the data was there. Then I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 and was able to start the phone by flashing it with the original I9000 rom, and then installed the CWM again and then i returned my backup that I made of my phone. Then I started again to install Slim Bean again but this time I got an error at the wipe dalvik cache saying E:unknown volume for path. Now I dont know what could be the problem but please can you help me. Should I first install some other custom rom or should I put the rom files on to the I9000 memory or what. I am really confused
Also the same thing happend when I tried to install CM10. it starts the installation but it restarts after few seconds.
Files that I have used
Slim-I9000-4.2.2.build.3-OFFICIAL.rar
cm-10.0.0-galaxysmtd

Anyone? Help?

Do what you did again till the recovery changes to v6 as you said & then flash the slim bean or any other rom again... it will work.
Good luck

What Do you mean by "keeps restarting" Bro, Is it stuck on the bootanimation?

If your phone doesn't get pass boot animation and reboots, then there's only one way to fix it. Your personal files and data would be gone but I'm sure it's backed up with your google account. Watch this and follow the instructions. Installing a stock firmware using ODIN. Hope it helped

Are you currently using a stock rom or a custom rom? Anyway you can solve this problem by just flashing back the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode (hold power+ Home button) and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Just flash them from the recovery mode (choose "install zip from sdcard" and then select the zip file from sdcard).

The Apocalypse you are referring to is the custom rom that is installed in your phone. When you bought you phone, you had Samsung's version of Froyo/ Gingerbread installed in your phone. That rom is called stock rom. Custom roms are build by developers using cyanogen mod sources. Now you keep having restarts and since clearing data and cache from CWM didn't solve it, I suggest you install another rom. Now this is where you have to make a choice. You can either install a stock rom (stable, nice battery backup, etc) or a custom rom (fast, performance oriented, customizable, etc). Before you do install another rom, backup all app data using Titanium Backup. If you choose Stock rom, then follow my previous post on how to install stock rom on your phone. Now if you choose custom rom, then first we need to update CWM 4 to CWM 5.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Download the CWM 5 zip file to SD Card and reboot your phone to recovery mode (Power off then hold Home+ Power button). Now choose "Install zip from SD Card" and choose the zip file. Done! You have successfully installed CWM 5. Now time for you to install a new custom rom. Refer the following guide for all the custom roms for our device,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
For time being use any Gingerbread roms. Download it to SD Card and then reboot to recovery mode. Now choose Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache, Wipe battery stats, Mounts & Storage> Format /system. Now select "Install zip from SD Card" and choose your rom zip file. Reboot and you can use your new rom. Whenever you want to install any new custom rom, just follow the same procedure. Now as for the low internal memory problem, we might have a solution. But the catch is it requires a rom with init.d support (something all custom roms have and stock roms doesn't ) and an ext partition on SD Card. First backup all the SD Card data. Now go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod zip from CWM. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Hope I Helped

Wrong section mates!!
First of all, read the forum rules in order to post your questions correctly...
There's a great Q&A Thread please use it to ask for help, this the General Thread, we must all contribute to maintaining our forum in order.
Next time, post it in the correct section, thank you for understanding it
Follow @mahithm instructions to flash a fresh STOCK rom and the next tine DON'T USE CWM 4x, it's outdated, there are several recovery systems based on CWM 5x, they're the most stable for a daily usage and they're required to flash most of the custom roms
