i want to update cm10 for the infuse 4g but i dont know how can someone please help and if i do update it does it delete all my apps and stuff please help?
Yes it will delete everything as you will need to do a full wipe. There are many apps that will back everything up but I use titanium back up. Once you back everything boot to recovery and do a full wipe/format and flash your ROM of choice and gapps... any questions... let me know.... I'm still a noob but I'm sure I can help you flash a ROM...

If I am reading your question right, you are asking how to update cm10 to cm10. Aka newer version?
If it is the same ROM download it and the corresponding gapps (if newer)
Turn off your phone and take out your SD card.
Then boot into recovery. (Either three finger it, or start the phone back up and reboot into recovery)
At the main menu wipe cache.
Go into advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back and go into mounts and storage.
Format /system
Then go back and flash from sdcard
Choose the newer ROM image and flash.
Then flash the new gapps.
Then restart phone. If it goes back to recovery just hit reboot phone again.
This method will not delete your personal apps just system apps. It may reset a few settings, such as log in credentials. But no big deal. (This would depend on the app not what you did)
These methods will never delete your personal photos or music. Only way to ever mess this up is a brick. Which only happens when you do risky flashes, or flash over USB with faulty wires.
If you are asking to go cm10 from cm9 it is described in the ROMs.
If you are going from say cm10 to liquid smooth rom, you can try the above method, but some settings may transfer funny and screw stuff up, so it is better to do the above steps but first do a Wipe data/factory reset.
This factory reset unfortunately wipes all your personal apps. To avoid this as best as possible I suggest titanium back up and use it to back up all your apps. The difference between pay and free titanium back up that you will notice, is that the paid one auto installs all apps, free one you have to install them by pressing install, done, install, done. This is annoying with 25+ apps. I paid for this reason alone.
Hope I helped at all.

If you notice glitchy things I would recommend wipe and reinstall but if all is well I wouldn't worry about it.

No matter what custom rom I try to load on my G2X, it will go through, install the rom, and then when it reboots past the LG screen, it gets to whatever custom boot screen in on the rom, and just locks up. The only way I can get it to boot after that point is to NVFlash back to stock.
Tried searching through this site and google, but can't find a solution.
You need to say what the process is that you attempted to do. Wipes and what not.

Rooted phone, added Clockwork, booted into CW recovery, did data and cache wipes, installed CM7 from SD card, rebooted, phone froze at custom boot screen. Reboot, still frozen. Would not boot at all.
Used NVFlash to reinstall stock image on phone, rooted phone, CW recovery, data and cache wipes, installed a different rom for my phone model, same result. Back to stock using same process, tried a third rom using same process, same result, frozen phone that won't go beyond boot screen.
Using this same process on my old T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, it worked perfectly on several different roms.
It sounds like you may have a ROM for a different model phone. Can you send a link to the ROM that you downloaded for us to see?
Also, is your phone a T-Mobile G2x or an LG Optimus 2x (O2x).

It is a T-mobile G2X, LG-P999DW.
The CM7 link was straight from the CM7 site, it wasn't an experimental mod or anything, it was the stable one listed under the G2X.

Considering cm roms are supposed to wipe system prior to flash, I couldn't imagine what is going on. Try wiping system just in case and after that, try installing from internal as well. Other options would be download other ways, like on PC or from phone transfer the files differently. Other then that can't really help you.

The last time I pulled it directly on my phone, the other times I downloaded via my PC and then copied the file. Had been via external so I tried internal that last time too. I'm close to madness, but I'm also too stubborn to give up.
I was thinking maybe I need to replace the kernel, but I'm not sure whether that's the problem or which Kernel to try if I did need to.
I had a similar issue on a tablet of mine. What version of CWM are you using? Are you using the touch version? The touch version has had some boot problems. Did you try partition the SDCard in the advanced settings? I forget which I used on my phone. Has anyone else partitioned theirs?
Well, not knowing which peice is broken let me just recap my process for you and see how it works:
1. Use OneClick NVFlash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 and select Flash CWM 5.0.2.0
2. Boot to CWM
3. format cache
4. format data
5. format system
6. format Dalvik cache
7. flash ROM from external/internal memory
8. flash kernel (optional, not required unless doing kernel testing)
9. flash gapps-package
10. fix permissions
11. reboot
I have not had this process screw up once for me so far. If this process does not work for you then you leave me really be scratching my skull...

don't root and then try. mostly roms come with super user access so try without rooting it manually.

I rooted my phone last night and all day today had horrible battery life (4 hours little usage) along with some what looked to be screen reboots. I only rooted phone did not install a rom nor any aps other than titanium. Any ideas why why this is happening and what I should do? Not new to rooting had an incredible that I spent many hours playing with.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Which method did you use to root your phone? There are several different ways to do it.
Have you checked your battery stats to see what is using your battery? Have you tried restarting your phone?
If restarting your phone doesn't solve your issues, you could install a custom recovery and then wipe your data, cache and dalvik-cache, and then install a new ROM which should solve any of your problems (much like your probably did on your Incredible). If you don't want to use a custom ROM, there are strock, rooted images available both for flashing through ODIN as well as flashing through Recovery.
I used the casual file method. Checked battery stats and nothing out of the ordinary. Also rebooted phone several times. I have a mac so I can't use Odin to go back to stock and try again. I also don't want to install a custom rom yet because I'm waiting for some bugs to be fixed on the synergy rom before I make that jump. My main reason for getting root was to freeze some apps in the meantime (haven't frozen any yet) and to enable the gps toggle switch on car dock via nfc which is working great.

Since I can't use Odin how would I go back to stock? Install the nandroid backup i made then unroot using casual? But before trying that do you think wiping dalvik might work? Strange that this is happening.

So you do have a custom recovery installed already? You don't need Odin as long as you have a custom recovery.
You can try clearing both your cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and then reboot to see if it solves your problems.
If it doesn't, then backup and sync your data (wiping your data won't wipe your "internal sd card", but you will lose all of your system settings). UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (search for ez-unlock on the market). Then put this on your sd card (or internal memory): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941334
Boot to recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Install that stock, rooted ROM. Reboot and reset up your phone settings.
i used the recovery that was suggested with the casual process. I think i might have fixed my issue i downloaded Rom Manager and reinstalled recovery and powered off my phone then removed battery and now the phone is smooth again but im still noticing that my battery is draining rather quick. This is very strange. Im thinking of unrooting and trying it all over again. I just need to find the original Verizon image.
I am currently running CM 10 and I want to switch roms but I am not sure how... I have 4EXT recovery and I'm not sure how to re-flash the rom.. Can someone help me?
Put the ROM zip to SD card. Go to recovery and do a factory reset. Then select the ROM zip and flash it.

You said you are running cm10 so its not the
first time that you change your rom. So you can flash the ROM without any problem.
But if your device is s-on you must flash
The rom with smartflash method. You can choose it in recovery. Sry for my bad English.

No.
Do not do a factory reset. This will just delete your user data. It will not delete the system data so if you try to install a new ROM overtop of an existing one that's different things could get messy. You want to do a full wipe, not just a factory reset.
The FIRST step is to make a backup of your currenr ROM. That way you can easily revert back to it as if you never left. This is valuable for many reasons. You may decide you don't like your new rom. Your new rom may have problems and not work properly and you'll want to go back to a working phone quickly. You may forget to back something up and will want to be able to extra some data from the backup (That's easy to do, but only if you have a backup). The list goes on and on.
Backing up your rom is super easy with 4EXT. You just tell it to back up your ROM and it will do the rest. It takes about 5 minutes.
Then you'll want to back up certain data that you'll want to use on your new ROM. Contacts, wifi access points, app data, text messages, etc etc etc. Whatever you want. Use Titanium Backup. It's super easy to use and works great. It will let you take all your apps and data off one ROM and put it onto another.
After you back up your rom, boot into recovery and do a full wipe using "format all partitions (except SD card)". The option is written exactly like that in the menu. You can't miss it. This will format the data and system files so you'll have a blank slate to install a new ROM from.
NOW flash the new rom. Then flash GApps if required. Boot the phone.
Download Titanium Backup from teh Play Store and use it to restore apps and data you want. (Your saves Titanium data will be ready to use when you install Titanium on the new ROM)
Enjoy your new ROM.

Hello
ust to confirm, instead of using 4EXT im using CWM recovery. I have read that 4EXT and CWM actually does the same job(recovery) so using CWM does not affect the subsequent steps right? (ie using Titanium Backup to back up messages and contacts and doing a full wipe). it will be the same process just using different recovery tool right?

In theory, yes. But some roms don't install properly from cwm and some absolutely require 4ext due to the use of aroma installer.
Just switch to 4ext. Takes 2 seconds to switch. The app doss all the work to install the recovery.

In my opinion 4ext is better than cmw but cmw show the aroma installer and install everything. But 4ext is better at all.

You don't even have to do all that if you're willing to buy the $3 4EXT app.
The guide you'll find will have to flash 4EXT with a PM58IMG file in the bootloader. It's easy enough. But you'll lack the app that goes with it that lets you manage your backups, control the recovery module, and update the recovery quickly and easily when new versions are available.
Just buy the 4EXT app on the play store, then from within the app tell it to install the 4EXT recovery module and it'll install the recovery for you quickly and easily.
Plus you're giving $3 to a developer who made a REALLY fantastic recovery and app for you.
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.

Over many iterations of Beanstalk my phone has had random reboots, sometimes hanging at the beanstalk logo, other times it will just freeze and i'll push the power button for screen on and nothing will happen. I'm trying to figure out if my hardware is flakey, anyone know an app for that? Or if maybe my installation procedure is the problem (it is posted below). I did a clean install of 1.205 yesterday and already 3 crashes. I wiped the dalvik and regular caches this morning after the 3rd crash to see if that may help. Any advice is appreciated. I dirty flashed 1.205 before and it didn't even seem this bad so not sure if it is completely random or what. Thanks!
Installation Procedure:
Flash Clean Wipe - Stock UCLB3
Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Flash Again w/ Bootloaders
Factory Reset (+Erase)
Flash Clean Wipe - Entropy Kernel
Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Copy CM9, Bean ROM, Gapps to SD Card
--CWM CM9--
Flash CM9
Reboot System (Do NOT use 'reboot recovery' in advanced)
System Hangs -> 3 Finger CWM Boot
Mounts -> Storage
Format system, data, cache
Flash CM9 again
Reboot
After boot -> Factory Reset (DO NOT erase SD)
--CWM--
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Install Beanstalk ROM
recovery reboots
auto resume install (if not flash zip again)
Install gapps
wipe cache
advanced -> wipe dalvik
After boot -> Factory Reset (Erase SD)
Also, I am not overclocking or undervolting, someone suggested that before so I turned it all off.
Sounds like your restoring apps and data with titanium backup or something. Are you? If so, that explains the reboots. I highly doubt it's the rom

I seriously doubt it is the ROM, not trying to blame it.
Trying to figure out if my hardware is going flakey and causing it, if I'm doing something wrong with the install, or some other thing I'm messing up.
I do restore with Titanium, but I only restore apps, not data.
The only other major thing I have changed that I can think of is the DPI to 182.
Ok the apps you restore, are any of them backups you made when you where on a gingerbread rom?
Like, say you were on GB and backed up some apps. Then flashed ICS, then JB, and then restored apps?

Nope, all backed up from previous JB ROMs. :\
Do you know any apps that can test the cpu/ram to see if it is going wonky? I looked but only found one that doesn't support the Infuse.

Use cpu spy.
It will tell exactly what the cpu uses and if it's going into deep sleep (very important).
I'm thinking there is an app that's preventing the phone from going into deep sleep
