So I wanted CM 10 on my phone, I used Flash GUI app, and flashed and tried flashing it through twrp. It reset, somethings didnt install properly couldn't catch what it didnt install. I read some misinformation online (or misinterpretation on my part) and wiped cache + davlik data. So now when I restart it goes to HTC screen then a black screen. I can still access bootloader, but I don't have a recovery file now to go off from or have no idea where to go from
I have HBOOT 1.15 with S-ON, 1.22.651.3, any ideas, or suggestions?
The kernel install didnt take. I'd highly suggest doing it via fastboot and not the app.

Dude thank you so much! I did exactly what you said! You are awesome awesome awesome!
Okay I know this is a noob question so PLEASE excuse my noob-ism. Not sure if this should be in Q&A or Dev so please move to the correct section if I posted in the wrong one.
Okay, so my phone was originally 4.0.4 with a 1.19 HBOOT and 4.1 Sense. I rooted my phone, read up on a couple of threads and youtube videos regarding how to flash CM10 and from what I got if you have 1.19 HBOOT you can't just flash it using TWRP because you can't go S-OFF. Here is where I was a bit confused and think I went wrong. I read in the description of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQKOhqdPpM that if you aren't S-OFF that there is a workaround, which linked me to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397 . So the 1st option said that it's possible to flash using Flash Image GUI to flash CM10 THEN to flash it in recovery, which I did. However now that I look closely at the pics it says only for EVO4G and the 3D. Here's where I'm at, Flashed using Flash Image GUI, then rebooted to HBOOT, then recovery, then flashed using TWRP. It looked like a success after rebooting because I seen the CyanogenMod boot screen but it's been about 25 minutes and it's just stuck there. Read up on it some more and it said that it should only take about 5-7 minutes for the first boot. I don't know what to do from here. Is there any way to still boot CM10 on my device since it seems essentially stuck at the "CM" boot screen? If not, what ROM would take me back to where I initially started off previous to trying to flash CM10 (like sense essentially)?
Once again, sorry for the noob-ism but kinda stuck here. Thanks!
I would try going into recovery and wipe Dalvik, Cache and then factory reset, do not wipe system just the 2 I mentioned and reboot, if it stays on boot anim, go to bootloader and fastboot kernel and reboot
If you have SDK or adb tools then open terminal and navigate to the folder, open cm10 zip and extract the boot image and place it in that directory, with you phone in fastboot, type fastboot devices to ensure you are connected and type fastboot flash boot boot.img it will state write time and ok, then try reboot again
hold down the power button until the phone shuts off, when it does, hold power and volume down to get to boot loader, press volume down to recovery and then press power, in recovery wip all and restore nandroid back up,,,hope you made a back up hope this helps
It's probably something corrupt in dalvik or cache, could also be a kernel mismatch but I think it's more likely phone was not properly wiped prior to flashing cmx

Didn't make a backup, noob mistake. I've rooted phones before but this is my first one putting a custom rom on.

no problem just keep in mind that when switching roms, especially different bases (ics sense, aosp ics, aosp jb) wipe the dalvik and cache because they can easily be corrupted

S-on or s-off
You'll have to flash the kernel seperate if your s-on via fasboot or flash image gui

Following this step of the process fixed this same issue for me.
Thanks both (hut thanks button too )
I flashed via flashgui and also via fastboot.
Then flashed the rom.
But still stays in the boot animation.

Hmm...well this time I just went to recovery. Made a backup and erased, cache, dalvik, system. Did a factory reset as well (didn't do that before) and in the end did as you guys suggested. Flashed rom and then boot.img via fastboot. Thank you very much!!! :victory:
Haven't been as active lately because I've been very sick but factory reset would have been my first suggestion. If you are starting a fresh install you should always wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and then wipe system. I used to refer wipe scripts but for this phone there has been an unusually high number of users who's partitions (mostly internal sd) end up corrupt after using a wipe script. I don't know why, they are generally reliable and in most cases are better as they can wipe areas of the partitions that you miss wiping normally. If you are familiar with reformatting and you can back up internal regularly then you should try a wipe script. It's just a bit more convenient when it does work then manually wiping each partition.
Nothing works!

Okay so I did all of this and still..... doesn't work. I'm not really a phone wiz. I paid someone to root my phone before and I used the CM10 ROM, everything was fine until I tried to change my font, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the CM 10 boot screen. I went to recovery and restored my phone from September. I then went to Flash Image GUI and flashed the boot.img for CM!0. Then went into recovery and flashed CM!0 and gaaps and wiped the cache, delv cache, system and factory reset. When I rebooted I was still stuck on the boot screen. :/ I am able to restore back to September but my camera or wifi doesn't work. Anyone know how to help me?
Try flashing meanrom, it has the kernel installer and doesn't require flash image or fastboot. If you still have any issues with the camera then relock the bootloader and flash ruu. If that doesn't fix the camera then its most likely hardware failure.

Bootloop Battery Issue
I recently flashed paranoid android to my verizon GS3 but after trying to boot I got stuck in a bootloop. It ran all last night but didnt accept a charge, and now won't turn on at all. When the battery is taken out and put back and then plugged back in it comes up with the battery charging symbol briefly but then immediately shuts off again. It wont turn on in download/recovery mode either. What should I do?

Trying to dig myself out of the hole i flashed a new OS, then for some random reason it didn't flash and no i cant access my recovery. Any help would be appreciated.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again via fastboot.
My sisters DNA is running a sense rom of some sort. She wants to go back to completely stock BUT can't flash stock rom because twrp won't mount cache, dalvic, or data to be able to wipe anything. says unable to mount... Forrmat data doesn't work. nothing. I think mounting system and wiping it works but when you reboot the phone the system is still there. I tried flashing the rom on top but it gets few seconds in and it reboots the phone. Can't RUU because when program says waiting for bootloader, it tries to boot into bootloader but actually reboots the phone. Then RUU says connection failed. Adbing or fastbooting into bootloader or recovery just reboots the phone. Can't flash new recovery neither. It says flashing the recovery was successful but recovery or version of it doesn't change. Also for some reason Twrp is a bit laggy.
I'm running out of ideas here. The current rom she's running is lagging and causes issues after months of using it. How can I get back to stock?
Can anyone help please?

If its rebooting the phone and not into bootloader, the first things to check are: Make sure you're using the HTC cable, try a different usb port, and make sure you have all the correct drivers installed. Easiest way is to install htc sync, and then uninstall, It will leave the drivers behind and remove the sync software.
I have a HTC Desire 612 from Verizon with S-off courtesy of Sunshine and I have rooted it and unrooted it severally.
I can't use it in Kenya because of the 'non-Verizon SIM' error.
I have installed TWRP and I have used it to flash several zips, images and do several factory resets. I have even flashed a custom rom but later reverted to the stock ROM.
Yesterday the phone got stuck in a boot loop and I attempted a factory reset. The reset was successful but after powering all the data including the wallpaper and apps remained.
I then tried to wipe data and I stil got the same results. The phone powers up long enough for me to get in but I can see nothing has been erased.
Next I tried Advanced Wipe and ticked Dalvik cache, cache,system, data and internal storage and swiped to wipe. The wipe is successful but after powering the device NOTHING is lost.
Finally I tried to restore the custom ROM and it is successful as per the images attached but still I find nothing has changed.
Very finally I flashed a new TWRP image through ADB which went on successfully but the build number remained the same.
What am I doing wrong?
