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

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.

Help Please!!!

Alright, I rooted my Nexus S 4G this guide. My phone was running 2.3.5 but I figured that these steps in Terminal wouldn't really change. When I flashed the "recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img" it didn't install properly (I assume because it was out of date/wrong version) Anyway, I flashed this instead with no problems.
In my euphoria over solving my clockwork problem, I forgot to flash the "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" and flashed the current version of MIUI. I am now stuck in a bootloop and I cannot enter recovery by using power+volume. I cannot turn the phone off. I can load the bootloader screen using Terminal while I plug it into my computer, but I don't know what to flash to fix the phone, and start over/end up with a Nexus running MIUI.

i dont know much about macs but you can flash the img files through fastboot.
imgs files are here

I can handle the mac part if you can show me which files to flash in which order to make my phone work again.

Okay this will take your phone back to stock. Download the grj22 image files. When you open it up it should have like 4 or 5 img files. After that open up cmd and type in the commands buglesspete has in his first post. It should be under "return to stock" or sometime like that.

Just a general hint... if oyu own a Nexus S 4G, Crespo isn't the right codename to look for.. it's crespo4g. Get the cwm recovery from here and flash the 4G version via "fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686

I have no experience with the 4G version of this phone but I can tell your that bootloops are usually caused by failing permissions (fix permissions in cwm rec) or missing wipes before isntalling the actual rom.
So I'd go back to start, flash the 4g recovery, wipe everything (including "mount and storage"'s /boot and then flash MIUI for 4g from here afterwards.
Basically, that MIUI (and most other custom roms) includes superuser.zip aka root. No need to root the devices before, all you need is an unlocked bootloader.

What he said, I always wipe 3x everything just to make sure it is a clean install. And some people will also suggest to let the rom boot up normally before flashing a different kernel.

wiping 3 times is senseless! and the kernel should be flashed right after the rom install!
oh and wiping the dalvik cache and chache after a rom-update is also senseless! the updater-script do this automatic!

Can you get back to recovery to flash a new ROM?
I have flashed many ROMS recently to try them out and also had a similar issue with one or two of them.
On my Note 2 I hold power, home and volume up to cycle power and get back to recovery and simply flash a new ROM, presto...

everytime i.flash a rom. i format everything. it might be you flashed a corupt file. redownload reflash

Sent from my C6502 using xda premium

Not sure what is going on but here is how I flash a ROM from recovery and so far so good.
Copy rom file to external sd card in phone.
Do a full factory wipe, cache and dalvik.
Install rom.
Install Gapps if necessary or desired.
Wipe cache and dalvik again.
Reboot
Note that some roms will give you a recommended list of what to wipe if doing a new install or upgrade of that rom, if such instructions exist its best to follow those instead but the above has worked for me for a while now.

That's what is advised to do before flashing a completely different ROM anyway by some. From recovery, flash the ROM again, and if the ROM is not corrupted (check md5 or whatever comes with it), you should be good to go.

Have patience,wait for 10-15 minutes.
First of all, you shouldn't have used Rom manager. It bricks our device
Read the guide in the top of general section and install a proper recovery from odin.
Maybe the zip you have downloaded is corrupted. So download it again and try.
Make sure you are on official gingerbread(2.3.x) and not froyo(2.2)
If none of this works,there is something seriously wrong with your device.
But don't worry,you can flash stock via odin and revert back to factory state.

Which customize ROM?
For customize ROM you need with ODIN instal Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
Now you can install custom ROM. Go in CWM and go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition in Advanced wipe dalvik cashe. Install ROM and again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot phone. It need wait about 5 minutes for system up.

When u are flashing any custom rom over the stock rom for the 1st time then u *should* necessarily wipe /system otherwise you'll get hanged up forever on that android-text/boot-up screen.

Stock ROM work on your phone?

Bro! Goto "mounts & storage" & select "format /system"...(if u haven't done yet). Then try flashing custom rom. & always use cwm recovery by tjstyles v5.0.2.7
Let's hope for the best...:thumbup:

Do this straight away:-
1. Flash Froyo 2.2.1(4 package) of ur country.
2. Then flash Gingerbread 2.3.6(one package) of ur country.
3. Then flash cwm via Odin.
4. Flash the custom rom thereafter.
Since it seems a bit complex issue, u need to try this to ensure zero errors.:sly: Btw u can try above steps in ur spare time.
As for me, I always try all methods that I know b4 concluding anything.

[Q] Trying to install new rom, stuck on htc red text when booting

Hi guys
I keep getting stuck on the the htc boot screen with the red text underneath when trying to install the 4.3.1 carbon rom for my Htc one s3.
Steps I've taken not necessarily in this order:
]I've unlocked my bootloader.
Downloaded the rom and gapps cm 10.2 to my sd card
flashed twrp 2.7.1 recovery
flashed the boot file
entered recovery clicked the recommended option for wipe
installed the rom and then gapps
cleared cache
reboot (Although just before rebooting it says that my phone is not rooted, would I like to install supersu to root it, which I did)
Am i missing something?

You are maybe forget to intick the fast boot it always make problem
Just boot to recovery and do a full wipe data cash and dalvic and reboot your phone

Hi,
I had to untick the fastboot as it wasn't loading the bootloader. I did a factory wipe, flashed boot image, factory wipe again, installed cm10.2 but during installation I'm getting a failed error. Anyone know why this is?
Could it possibly be because I have no superuser app on my phone? is superuser needed?

Because you are not rooted that's why

Haha thanks that's part of the problem, I'm a noob to all this. I am now rooted using superSU v1.9x but still getting same problems.
I'm also trying to use sideload but it's just stuck saying 'starting adb sideload feature stuck'

Sorry for spamming the forum, but I just don't seem to be getting anywhere after hours trying..
My plan now is to go back to the stock rom, I just want to make sure I'm flashing the correct one
I think my phone is actually an S4 rather than S3.
hboot: 2.13.0000
radio: 1.11.50.05.28
tmob005
would this RUU be the correct one to install:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4 .exe

You're on Tmobile, i gues...
Search one for you're phone company, for you're country.
