go into recovery from your bootloader menu and either restore a backup or flash the last working rom. or you can try wiping data and reflashing what you flashed. what did you do anyways?

Did you by any chance flash the latest Peter Alfonso rom? If so, wipe cache and dalvik and flash a different kernel.

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.

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.

Exactly which phone do you have? It looks like it says Hercules in the cm file name you wrote, which I think is a Samsung.

Odin Question!!

i used TWRP to restore a backup but it wiped system and then failed. not noticing this i rebooted and the phone shuts off when i boot it. i tried holding power + vol up + home to get into recovery and install another zip but it hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" splash screen. if i use odin and it relocks my bootloader, will it format my internal memory? i had issues with this before and i dont want to go through losing all my data again. if anyone has any alternatives they will be much appreciated
You could Odin flash a no wipe rooted rom and see how it takes then.
Did you try doing a full wipe (factory reset/format system) and then reflashing a ROM?

One more thing, your bootloader will be locked when you flash this. Just unlock it using EZ Unlock 1.2 and you're good to go if you want to flash roms and such.

Can i odin TWRP without rooting?

Hi i have problem with my Note5. Since i update it to MM i cant get pass with my lock screen. And i dont want to do a factory reset. I am planning to flash the TWRP so that i can wipe everything excluding the system so that i can still have my files. Is that possible? If yes how can i flash the TWRP? What i need to do? Also i am not sure if the OEM on my phone is ON. If its off can i still proceed to flash the TWRP using ODIN? Thanks in advance
