Well before flashing the ROM did you create a back up?
And when ever your flashing a ROM your suppose to do a FULL WIPE not just cache and dalvik

no used to doing this on droidx and i would just start from scratch if a flash didnt go through good

i read you cant flash roms with unrevoked is that true ? i can also still get into clockwork recovery should i just try another rom ?

You can flash roms fine with revolutionary and the version of cwm it installs. Try booting to recovery wipe data cache and dalvik cache, reflash ROM and boot to system.

Flash the ROM first do the theme later

Which recovery are you on? If it's TWRP: Get Amon_ra and wipe BOOT: and System: then clear data then just flash rom. It will work. I promise.

Um, you need to have the ROM installed before you can flash a theme for that same ROM.
ALSO, I strongly recomend flashing AmonRA 2.3 to your phone before doing anything else.
If you are going to use Synergy, please follow the directions for partitioning the sd card. Simply copy your sd card stuff onto your computer, format the sdcard then partition it. Then you can copy everything back to the sd card from your puter. It will make life a whole lot easier and faster.

[Q] Stuck on Boot Loop

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I RECENTLY FLASHED THE 2012-09-08 07:33:31 NIGHTLY AND THEN GOT BOOT LOOPED! I WAS ON CWM 6.0.1.1 AND NOW IM ON 6.0.1.3. I TRIED:
1. Factory Reset
2. Re Flashing CM10
BUT NOTHING
PLEASE HELP ME SOON!
THANK YOU

maybe you need to odin and start over.

Try re-downloading the ROM. Wipe system, data, and cache. Try to flash again. It's worth a try before using Odin to reset.

How do I wipe system? there is wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache

One thing i forgot to mention.
When i first flashed CM9 I was not on CWM 6.0.1.1 ( I was on a previous version).
Sometime after, when I flashed the Stable CM9, or something earlier, It got changed to 6.0.1.1. What I think might be the problem is that I need to go back to the previous versions of CWM and then flash the CM10 rom( not the ERA one)

This is the first time i flash my phone to move to the darkside.
T989 running ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.5 , Flashed with DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4 / CM10 Stable. After complete the flash and stuck on the CM splash screen.
After read the CM10 Thread, that mentioned i should not use the dakrside wipe.
1 - I can boot into CWM mode
2 - Cache and dalvik cache cannot wipe Any suggest that i should proceed next or thats bricked????
3 - If restore, the USB keep prompt error
Thanks

Your phones fine
If you can get into recovery. wipe data, wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik wipe cache. Flash cm10. Flash gapps. Reboot.
If you can't wipe anything in recovery and it freezes up. Your recovery is broken and you have to reflash it via Odin. Then go back and do what I said above
NEVER USE DARKSIDE SCRIPTS WITH CWM 6.XXXXXX OR TWRP 2.2.XXXXXXX OR 2.3XXXXX

I don't know what your saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcffczu-0qA&feature=youtube_gdata_player. Watch this video. Download the files specified but the only files you will actually need are the Odin app and "Hercules.tar.cwm file. The only steps youd actually need to follow start at 3:50 and end at 6:27. This method will reinstall cwm version 5.0.xxxxx. As usual hold up down power to get into recovery mode. Use dark side super wipe and reinstall ROM and gapps then dark side cache wipe. since it IS the older cwm version 5.0.xxxx you do need the scripts. Once everything looks good and you decide to upgrade your recovery DONT use the scripts anymore. The newer recoveries do the work for the scripts
Edit:
Unlike the video explains you want to enter download mode before connecting your phone to Odin. I think to get into download mode you hold volume up / down then plug USB from pc into phone.. All at the same time

thanks for the help

Full wipe/system wipe

when you wipe the system or do a full wipe does that remove the TWRP recovery mode. I wiped to go to a new ROM before but I could not get back into TWRP recovery menu and had to re-install it all over again. IS this the case every time you wipe the system?

No, wiping system only wipe the ROM. I did run into the same problem once with an older version of TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP 2.6.3.1 yet(knocking on wood)

Short answer, no. It is highly abnormal for the recovery image to be wiped/corrupted from a reset/wipe. But then again, twrp has seen its fairshares of hiccups. Maybe it was just a fluke, luck of the draw.

Whenever I flash roms or restore nandroid backups, I always do a factory/data reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then I proceed to flash. Never had any problems. Sorry that you had to redo everything :-{
