because you need to wipe(factory reset) when flashing different roms. when you upgrade the same rom, you dont have to wipe.

wiping data(factory reset) should take care of that. wipe, flash rom, flash gapps(if needed), and reboot. thats all.

done all that still gets stuck at the loading screen

ok got one to flash i did a cache wipe to and it seem to work ty

I'm not sure why, but sometimes when I flash a recovery and reboot into recovery from ROM Manager, I get the same thing. But if I flash, then power off and boot into recovery using volume+powerUp, it works fine.

Are you talkin about the unrooting section of this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088494
you need to flash a recovery via fastboot, go into recovery and wipe the phone, flash the latest cyanogenmod, and flash the latest gapps.
there are a bunch of guides in the nexus s general forums, and in the development forums.
See this is why I hate one click root methods. When something goes wrong you don't know how to fix it.
Flash a recovery using fastboot. Then wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Mount storage and transfer the rom you want to flash. Then choose install from zip. Then reboot and you should be up a d running.

hi i need help i flash back to stock whit heimdall .. but now im trying to install the unnoficial ... from red recovery everything works but when i reboot after the second flash it just reboots again and again on recovery
wtf now im stuck on 3e recovery
Sometimes I get stuck like that after I flash back to stock. Try wiping the cache in 3e recovery and rebooting. That fixes it for me usually. If not, maybe you could flash again. Hope this helps.

did you select "reboot recovery" while in recovery? thats what everyone ive ever seen with this issue have done. never select that, youll have to odin back to stock if you do.

Trying to install CM10 with TWRP

I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you
Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download
I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.
I'm downloading CM10 from here http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru

Wrong version, endeavoru is the international (Tegra3) One X. Our phone is code named evita.
Just stick to the Development forum here, to avoid flashing ROMs for the wrong version of the One X:

Thanks for the information.
Was able to successfully flash to CM10 but I'm stuck at the CM10 boot screen. Circle going counter clock wise around. What should I do?

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.
Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

A guy I was working with had the boot screen splash. If you've flashed the correct one, then wipe your caches. if that doesn't work reflash.

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

How can I reflash?
Thanks
-edit-
I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.
Please help, need a working phone soon..

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.
Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

I have this problem. i went to the thread you posted, loaded TWRP, I've factory reset and what not, but now I'm stuck in TWRP without any real viable options. When I try to reboot to system, it brings me back to TWRP menu.

Do you have a rom flashed? If so, wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn't work, reflash and do a system wipe from TWRP.

[Q] Can't reinstall apps after flashing CyanogenMod

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Yes, and now I just get a message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." As soon as I press OK it pops up again instantly ad infinitum. And now my phone won't boot into recovery!
Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik reflash the rom and gapps.
Edit: sorry missed the can't get into recovery. Do you have goo manager or rom Manager depending on which recovery you use and reflash recovery via app. If not as next user pointed out Odin is your friend.

That's what I'm trying to do...unfortunately my phone will not boot into recovery. Holding down proper buttons does not work. And since I'm stuck on this error message I can't get to terminal app to reboot. And when I hold power button the "boot in recovery" option is not there.

Turn the phone off. Then press HOME>POWER>VOLUME UP at the same time this will boot you into recovery.

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

Ok I just flashed my stock rooted rom and everything seems to be working just fine. I think I'm going to hold off on flashing a custom rom again. Want to do some more research first. Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] Randomly stopped booting?

I have had flashed the newest Mokee rom around a month ago. It has been working ever since fine. Lately it would freeze up and id have to take the battery out and reboot and it would be fine. But yesterday, it froze and I tried rebooting then it just wont boot. I left it for around 10 minutes and its still booting. I don't want to factory reset because I dont wanna lose all my stuff on the phone. Is there anything I can do?

There is a release version in mokee thread, download it and make a clean flash. Follow these steps;
Wipe cache, delvic and data
Flash mokee rom and reboot (do not flash GApps)
Let the ROM settle for about 20-30 minutes
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and flash GApps.
Good luck.
