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.

[Q] Help cyanogenmod boot animation

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S III, new, just followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914,
I used Rom Manager and tried to flash CM 10 from my external sd card and I got the following error message:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
from this point I was able to reboot the phone and the phone worked fine (with touchwiz and original android 4.0.4).
I then used EZ Rom from this tutorial to try to accomplish the same thing (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)
I selected CWM 6.0.1 and it allowed me to select the nightly CM 10 zip file I had put on the external sd,
I then installed from sd the gapps from the same tutorial.
All appeared to be normal and I then rebooted the phone and now all it will do is show the cyanogenmod boot animation.
I have tried taking out the battery and restarting it but that does not fix things, I still get the cyanogenmod boot animation and nothing else.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Sorry, I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer.
Regards,
M
Also, I believe I had accomplished rooting and unlocking correctly with the exception of no audio "Unlocked" message--that is, I only got a "your phone is unlocked" message on screen when I used the unlock app. I did not get the audio as the tutorial said I would.

First off, thank you kintwofan for taking the time to help me, I appreciate it.
So I pulled the battery, held volume up+home key+pwr and was able to get into recovery,
I selected data reset
Now when I boot up the phone the cyanogenmod boot animation appears and I get a message "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped and I can select ok
then I get a message set up wizard has stopped.
should I pull the battery and try to install from sd card the CM10 nightly zip file again?
Thanks,

I would say go back to recovery. Factory reset again, under advanced wipe dalvik cache and under mounts wipe system. The flash cm10 and I gapps again. By the way what gapps do you have?

I did the factory reset, then wiped dalvik cache, then I chose format/system under wipes and mount.
I then installed from external sd the CM10 nightly
I did not install the gapps zip file this time,
and rebooted.
now the phone boots up and and appears relatively normal (compared to my Galaxy nexus)
the android version says 4.2.1
However, there is no service, it does not connect to verizon.
if i make the screen black then hit power, the message at the bottom of the phone says "no sim card" but my sim card is installed (haven't taken it out at all)
What should I do next (can't tell you how much I appreciate this--I will pay you!!)

I can see that the gapps file was not for android 4.2.1 but rather 4.1
so starting over with the factory data reset etc, will report back soon, fyi i found a gapps for 4.2.1 here (http://goo.im/devs/PureMod/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20121130-4.2.1-signed.zip

I've successfully got the correct gapps on the phone now, but no service, it says no sim card
I took the sim out and re installed but no luck there, searched the forums and not successful at seeing a fix either,

Steps before installing a custom ROM ?

I just rooted my Samsung GT-S5830i
I installed clockwork recover and made a backup too
I would like to install a custom ROM on my phone.. what are the necessary steps to follow before doing so ?

First, make a backup of you current rom. Then I would just go a head and follow whatever directions are supplied for the rom you want (some roms require special work). If no instructions are presented, do a wipe (factory reset or whatever) through cwmr, wipe the dalvik cache (under advanced), and install your rom!
Good luck I'll gladly answer any questions/problems you have.

i didnt do a factory reset, and installed jelly blast.. my phone got bricked, i had to flash through odin.. i was the only person who had the problem, you think it might have been because i didnt factory reset ?

It wasn't that.The only thing you must do before installing it is to root your phone, after that you just follow the custom rom's specific installing instructions.

Last night, I tried it again, I downloaded the ported jelly blast v 3 for s5830i, made a back up of my current ROM, wiped my data, wiped dalvik cache, placed the jelly blast in my sd card and flashed it through clock work recovery, I still got stuck in a boot loop..

You can see option for toggling in your recovery mode. Select that and then flash Rom.

There was no toggling option in my recovery mode..

Please do search properly. Usually u can see option for toggling signature verification when u select apply update from sdcard option....
If u can't find then try installing recovery mod again.

I installed recovery again, I found the toggle signature verification option, could you tell me how toggling signature verification makes a difference?

By toggling signature verification, verification of digital sign of your zip file is skipped. Thus allowing to use/ flash ROMS( most of them are unsigned)
Did that work??

Don't just say it.... hit THANKS

The last couple of times I experienced this
The last couple of times that I got stuck in a bootloop, what fixed it was a re-wipe of data, cache and dalvik after the installation of the ROM. Don't know if that helps at all but hope that it does. That could be ROM specific, but it might be worth a shot (easier than restoring to stock again).
Examples of where developers have suggested wiping cache/dalvik after flashing the ROM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964339
Can't find where I saw the wipe data section, it was somewhere.
Also, I use SMS backup, which syncs SMS's with gmail, so you can back those up and restore should you change again. Available in the play store.

[Q] Can't reinstall apps after flashing CyanogenMod

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Yes, and now I just get a message that says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." As soon as I press OK it pops up again instantly ad infinitum. And now my phone won't boot into recovery!

Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik reflash the rom and gapps.
Edit: sorry missed the can't get into recovery. Do you have goo manager or rom Manager depending on which recovery you use and reflash recovery via app. If not as next user pointed out Odin is your friend.

That's what I'm trying to do...unfortunately my phone will not boot into recovery. Holding down proper buttons does not work. And since I'm stuck on this error message I can't get to terminal app to reboot. And when I hold power button the "boot in recovery" option is not there.

Turn the phone off. Then press HOME>POWER>VOLUME UP at the same time this will boot you into recovery.

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

Ok I just flashed my stock rooted rom and everything seems to be working just fine. I think I'm going to hold off on flashing a custom rom again. Want to do some more research first. Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] Randomly stopped booting?

I have had flashed the newest Mokee rom around a month ago. It has been working ever since fine. Lately it would freeze up and id have to take the battery out and reboot and it would be fine. But yesterday, it froze and I tried rebooting then it just wont boot. I left it for around 10 minutes and its still booting. I don't want to factory reset because I dont wanna lose all my stuff on the phone. Is there anything I can do?

There is a release version in mokee thread, download it and make a clean flash. Follow these steps;
Wipe cache, delvic and data
Flash mokee rom and reboot (do not flash GApps)
Let the ROM settle for about 20-30 minutes
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and flash GApps.
Good luck.
