Just bought my phone a couple of days ago, I was looking to root it as I had an Incredible but stepped up to this. Rooting went pretty good, failed first time but went through the second. Then I installed rom manager and flashed clockwork. I then went into the recovery but saw that I had an issue with with it about signatuire verification so I figured I still had the stock recovery. I went in and got the modded recovery file and just renamed the old one. Rebooted into recovery and the phone would lock at the samsung screen and not go anywhere. So i booted it back up like regular and flashed clockwork again and tried to boot into recovery again with the same issue but now I can't get the phone to boot up regularly. Its just hanging at the samsung screen, I have the battery pulled while I wait just to make sure its not an issue like that. Did I miss something when I was doing this? I watched the videos on how to root and install the recovery but I'm lost as to what is going on now. I thought my only issue was the stock recovery was still installed for some reason so I replaced that with the modded version. Thanks for you help and I hope I don't have to redo everything again.
Alright, delete this as I got inpatient and figured my phone was screwed anyways so I went ahead and used odin and I'm in clockwork right now. Sorry for creating a useless thread.
Last week I rooted a friends phone and flashed ginger clone on it and the red cwm. Everything worked fine at the time.
Today the screen kept freezing and the screen going black. I had to reboot the phone at least 10 times just to get into the OS and boot into recovery.
Once I got into recovery I wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then restored the factory backup (which I verified worked after making it last week) now the phone can't get passed the initial sidekick boot screen. It sits at the screen and vibrates every few seconds.
Is there any luck for this thing?

Use this to put cwm and then flash the rom you like.
If phone still boots into recovery you may have a stuck vol- button.

i cant get into recoveery now im stuck in it relaoding as i tried to flash the recovery again and its stuck
try and flash again, if it doesn't stick, then try again. If it gives you an error report the error. Try what mansa_noob posted, it usually works for everyone, it fixes everything (partition and issues) and then flashes the recovery for you.
I flashed the Cyanogen mod 10.1 nightlies for 2013-01-05. The boot animation was running for an abornomally long time so I pulled the battery and booted up and now the boot animation will not stop running. I tried searching for help but with no avail I have not found it too fix this problem. Also I made a CWM backup.

SiyahKernel s3-v1.8.8
Posted on January 13, 2013
Changelog
rebased on i9300 update7 sources (sudden-death issue is supposedly fixed in this source drop)
reverted temporary fix for exynos-mem exploit as i9300-update7 sources already fix that
cm10.1 is now supported in dual-boot configurations
1.8.7->1.8.8: fixed cm10.1 not booting when installed as 2ndROM (a tiny typo in ramfs)
BUT,it doesn't work anyway (just trying now at it's stuck on the boot screen)
Just try it and report back! :good:
You do realize that the siyah kernel is for the international S3 which has different hardware then our s3? If you are using a kernel for a different phone then of course it wont boot....

Flash problems
I've had installs stick at the boot animation or shortly thereafter several times. Usually it's because of a dumb mistake. The only thing that's consistently worked for me is flashing back to stock VZ firmware via Odin and doing the whole process over from root through installation. It sucks but it always works.
Howdy.
I've just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 - 20130315 to my droid 4 with Safestrap, and I haven't been able to boot into it; the cyanogenmod splash screen with the rotating wheel graphic shows up, but it spins for upwards of 40 minutes without doing anything.
I followed the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki for the droid 4 device. The forum won't let me post a link to it.
Before I installed I wiped / factory reset, and after install I wiped cache/dalvik; still no dice. I've tried doing the same process several times (even wiking the system before trying to reflash), but the same result has always occurred: ever unhelpful eternal wheel...
I'm a bit at my wits end; I haven't been able to find any other information about this that wasn't solved by wiping cache / dalvik, so I turn to y'all for help.
Same here
I installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 with CWM the link:[Recovery/Bootstrap][5-sep-2012] CWM Touch recovery v6.0.1.1 - xda-developers and i went ahead and installed the mod: cm-10.1-20130211 all went fine untill i noticed that my camera is not working (not a big deal) but then i noticed that my phone only saw 488MB out of my 32GB this was un acceptable after i found how to connect my phone to my pc so it showed up as a storage device do that i copied the same mob but a different version (cm-10.1-20130129_v2) so i went ahead and booted into Android system recovery <3e> and i did a factory reset and then i said oh f*** i need CWMR to install the thing so i just waited for it to do its thing and then reboted the device thinking after i boot up i will reinstall CWMR but i was never able to boot because im stuck on the boot animation. Been waiting for +20min or so and nothing please help me what can i do this is my only phone please help
help with CM10.1 ROM issue
Hi folks,
this is my first post on XDA. I have a Sprint htc EVO 4G LTE phone which was running on JB.
Thought of root and flash with CM. So, first I unlocked the bootloader using htc dev and installed TWRP custom recovery and then rooted.
Then I flashed the stable CM 10 then flashed gapps which is compatible for CM 10 version. so far so good. oh, btw I did nandroid backup before flash and also wiped to factory reset, cache and Delvic cache.
After the flash i clicked on reboot system and I see the Cyanogenmod boot, but its stuck at that stage and I waited for more than an hour. No luck.
Thank god I did back up before this, otherwise not sure what I'm gonna do.
But, could someone tell me why it gets stuck at this point. I know some of you guys had this problem. I searched everywhere but didn't get help. I thought of posting this in android development forum, but as a newbie I can't do that.
Please help me out.
P.S: when I'm on boot screen (power button + vol down button) I see unlocked at the top but I also have TAMPERED in red color on top of that. Was this normal? or do you think that is causing the problem? and what should I do now?
(First of all I am not an expert)
It happens sometimes about 1/10 of every flashes I did with cm10
It might because some files didn't get copied or got corrupted.
Just try this method
Format data
Format system
Format cache
Wipe dalvick cache and factory reset
Now flash the ROM
Hit thanks if I helped

(First of all I am not an expert)
First wipe every thing(system,data,cache,dalvick,android secure....)
Now install ROM,
Wait don't install gapps
Now find an extended cm10.1 kernel or lupus kernel(or such kernels) for your device and flash it via pc
I prefer flashing kernel after installing the rom

Ask in the Xperia X10 mini forums.
Three-finger salute
Ran into this situation today when I tried to restore a backup and I couldn't get past the CM10 logo on bootup. Holding down all three buttons, power, volume up and down, got me back to the Clockworkmod boot screen.
ETA: Sorry, posted in wrong forum. My situation pertained to a Samsung Galaxy 5 Media Player.

Hi...i just happened to flash my x10 mini to cm9-robyn yesterday...same thing happpened to me...boot the animation until run of battery....i accidently booted it to recovery and just leave it...fortunately after sometime it booted by itself and run as normal. The cm9 run ok except the wifi is not working. Hope that will help. I am not an expert.
I searched everywhere on this forum and found somewhat similar problems but none as d\ifficult as mine. I have a Tmobile htc mytouch 4g slide and I attempted to root it tonight when I got kinda stuck. I was using MyTouch_4G_Slide_All-In-One_Kit_V1.0 by Hasoon 2000. I got CWM v 5.2.0.7 installed and attempted to install cyanogenmod from my sd card while in recovery mode. It installed successfully but when i restarted it got stuck on the boot up screen (I guess its also called the splashscreen). In order to get back to recovery mode i had to pull the battery. I tried formatting from the CWM menu in recovery and then re installed cyanogen but the same thing happened again. Then one of my family members came in and clicked on the install stock recovery button to see if that would help. So now I have stock recovery installed but also installed the not working cyanopgenmod. Now I cant get my computer to recognize my device to re install CWM. This is my first time rooting a device and I have no experience with development so please be patient with me. My computer recognizes it when i first enter recovery mode but then it says it was unplugged and my phone shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I am worried there is nothing i can do since doing a factory reset just results in a frozen splashscreen and my computer wont recognize it and i cant get in to recovery mode to install a different rom. Any help would be much appreciated
