Just got my Droid x flashed to metro, I'm wanting to flash miui, I know how to install a rom butttt will clearing cache and data remove my metro flash? Ive heard you just lose mms and web, but I have the zip for that.
Boot in bootstrap recovery Clear data and cache? Mounts and storage Format cache and data Back button Install zip from SD
Right?
Sorry about this probably being in the wrong place, thanks

Flashable zip file.good luck.

What you are doing wrong is not using the search feature on the forum before posting.
Maybe i did but still couldnt find the answer. Im not new to forums. Ivee tried reflashing it several times as the coredoid post says and that didnt work so what am i to do now

First....update Clockwork
then...wipe data/factory reset (in Recovery)
then...wipe cache partition
then...flash it once more and if it does not work try re downloading the ROM because there is a possibility some important files are corrupted...

All of which was available by doing a search ^
You can also add try a different rom to the above list.
I have done all on that atleast twice. I had just redownloaded the rom last night

this is a ext3/4 rom Is your sd card formated properly? If its version 6.6 ( the latest) try using version 6.5 first as this will format the sd card for you.. back up your sd card first just to be sure you don't lose your information. in CWM mount the sd card and copy to computer.. Hope this helps.
Already stated previously but worth another try. Install another ROM, maybe one that is almost stock. Then try Coredroid again.
I also suggest you ask in the Coredroid forum. Good luck.
Ok thanks ill see what i can find out over there

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.

I flashed it through ClockWork Mod. Followed the exact instructions on the OP's post which said:
-Reboot to Clockwork
-Wipe Data Factory Data reset a few times
-mounts and storage, and format systemx3
-Wipe dalvik cache
-wipe cache partition
-Then choose 4.2e base and install zip
-Install Modem
Redownload the rom and try again. Maybe flash without the modem or flash the modem first.

Maybe try starting over with the Odin ICS leak then flash touch recovery before moving onto sky ics?
.
You have to be on touch cwm in order for it to work smoothly. I personally use tpmullan's 5.8.1.3 and never had any problem flashing with it. Also, you can try running darkside wipe before flashing. I've found that it helps in some cases. You might need to flash the stock rom with odin and start over from there

Hey - has anyone tried using SUPERWIPE on NEXUS S?
eg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
I have been having some problems with CWM not always wiping properly, and then me getting FCs and laggy responsiveness after installing well-rated ROMs.
Superwipe is said to do a better job, but does not seem to be for the NEXUS S per se, which is why I ask.

Not needed if you use a sacrificial lamb and do the aztec dance...
I used to use wipe zips until some versions of CM9 refused to install/boot afterwards. Now I manually mount and format data, system, cache, and boot prior to installing a rom. Haven't had a problem since switching to this method.

Super wipe is overkill and not needed . Most recoverys work great to wipe and flash any rom fine.

Wiping storage ain't like wiping your ass, 1 wipe suffices.
Cool! - Thanks for the wipe all info.
It seems that I have never wiped 'Boot' in CWM and i have gone through countless custom ROMS by different makers.
Maybe that's the problem (I normally just do 'factory reset' and 'wipe Dalvik')
Is it true that if you wipe 'boot' in CWM (or if using the full wipe all script), that you need to have already put your new ROM on your SD card because you MUST follow a wipe of 'boot' straight away with an install of a new ROM, else you will brick your phone?
Oh, one final question - have you guys ever in CWM hit 'format sdcard' to fine that once you boot up and browse your SD card the format didn't work?

My ROMs have never been on the root of my SD card (I like to organize all my ZIPs in folders)... Probably not a good idea haha. And I have always wiped boot last... never been bricked. I've been boot looped but that's always been a bad ZIP file's fault. And I make NANDROIDs for just such loops.

Same thing for me.
And CWM wipes works perfectly. Don't be so lazy men.
Just do it this way.
One clicks and wipe zips will fail so you should learn what they are doing in case you need to do it yourself.

I would like to install either the stable cm 10, or the nightly 10.1, but I haven't decided yet. However I always seem to mess it up. I downloaded cm 10 earlier on my phone, and saved to the sd card. I created a nandroid backup, then unlocked my bootloader with ez unlock. I booted into recovery, and selected to install update from sd card and picked the cm10 file. I believe it said the file couldn't be opened? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? ALSO, do I need to factory reset and wipe cache before i do this? well I lose my data, if so and how can i get it back after i flash?
Thanks
You have a Verizon gs3 right?
If yes, give this a read. Section 3 is where it tells you how to flash a rom. Don't download any of the links, you already have the rom on your sd card.
This will give you the steps needed to flash a rom. Also, make sure you have all the zips needed to flash the rom from the OP in the thread where you got the rom.
Just make sure you are rooted and your bootloader is unlocked.

OK buddy, let me try and help. You can use either twrp recovery or cwm recovery. If you don't have one of those then start there.
After you have a custom recovery, make sure you have the ROM and gapps on your SD card (internal SD). Boot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset data wipe. Then install ROM by going to install from SD, choose file from SD, not the update zip.
The data you will lose is mostly app data, call logs, text logs etc. No pics or music.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask but I really suggest reading some more.
