CM10/AOKP boot loop - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I rooted my I747 using the process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Once rooted, I made a nandroid backup.
I booted into Clockwork recovery mode, and performed these steps:
1. Wipe factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Format /system
5. Flashed ROM (install from zip)
6. Flashed GAPP
7. Restore/advance restore data
8. Reboot
After rebooting, the phone hangs on the splash screen. I've tried both the latest AOKP build and CM10 preview. I was able to restore my original backup.
I've checked numerous threads without any luck.

Don't do #7 and it should work.

Restoring data only works when flashing between similar roms. Aosp to aosp or touchwiz to touchwiz

Who told you to advance restore data?

That did it, but thanks. I was following the ROM and App tutorial in 10 minutes.

##data#

I tried to dial that and nothing happened after it was entered. What did I do wrong? Thanks.

heard some roms don't support the codes. custom rom?
If you have a custom ROM, it might not support dial-codes such as ##DATA#, *#*#4636#*#*, etc. This is a known issue. You can always flash a rooted stock ROM, apply the baseband fix, and then re-flash your ROM.
That makes perfect sense! I'm using baked snack rom.. I guess that's why it's not working... I guess I can't fix my 4g yet...
Well, you can do a Nandroid backup, then wipe your data, cache, and dalvik cache, then flash a rooted OTA (stock w/ OTA) ROM, adjust the settings in ##DATA#, then re-flash your (right now) current ROM, followed by a Nandroid restore.
In other words:
1) Download OTA (1.47) rooted ROM.
2) Copy it to /sdcard then reboot into recovery
3) Do a Nandroid backup
4) Wipe everything in data, cache, dalvik (aka, factory reset)
5) Flash OTA rooted ROM
6) Boot into Android, bring up Phone dialer, punch in ##DATA#, type in MSL, adjust settings.
7) Reboot
8) Reboot into recovery
9) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, flash your old ROM
10) Reboot into Android, then reboot into recovery
11) Nandroid restore.
12) Reboot into Android, and you should have everything back.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I used to flash my old htc's with wm 6 and wanted to know what steps I would need to take in order to put the new warm on my inc?

I still remember my old XV6900
Its completely different now then it was in the good ol RUU windows rom days, now you download the rom and put it on your SD, do a Full wipe then flash
1. Make sure your rooted with a Custom Recovery (IE Clockworkmod Recovery)
2. Boot into Recovery and do a Nandroid backup just incase things go horribly wrong.
3. Do a full wipe*: Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, and Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Flash your rom from your Sd (IE Install Zip in CW)
5. Reboot
*It's usually recommended to do a Full Wipe when flashing between different roms, but if flashing to a new version of the same rom I would go with whatever the Dev advises,
Awesome! Thanks for the update!

[Q] CyanogenMod 7.2 wont work

I recently flashed CM7.2 and now my GT-5660M won't boot up? Before I flashed it, I followed the instructions, which said to wipe data, and so I did!
My phone still won't boot up so I flash my phone again with the Particle android's ROM.
So then I try flashing CM7 again and still my phone is stuck at splash screen? Any help?
I'll edit this post to reply to your comments below:
----Edit---
@voetbalremco I'll try flashing from stock rom. I used ClockworkMod 5.0.2.6 Recovery
@felicee I did do those steps!?
-------------
What about flashing it from stock?? And you used the right clockworkmod version??

you'll have to do these steps:
boot into cwm manager, then
- wipe data
- wipe cache
- than go to advanced settings -> wipe dalvik cache

Problem flashing CM10

I have a Galaxy S i9000 with darky v11 ROM which is in ICS.I tried to flashed it with JB rom of cm-10-20120906-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and it went into some sort of bootloop..(it goes to start and then CWM appears then samsung logo and then CM9 logo appears again and again) I did wipe cache, wipe data and dalvik cache first before flashing the CM10.
the situation lasted for about 15 mins and I realized that something is wrong.
I have no choice now but to take out the battery and enter recovery and then I make a restore, my current restore point is Darky v10.4.2 but the CMW is stucked to restoring boot
what should I do to fix this problem?
any help from you guys will be appreciated thanks.
This thread gave me cancer.

I had the same issue. And I fixed it by manually getting into CMW by three button combo
Steps done..
1. Flash gb stock
2. Root it
3. Do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik. Install cm 9 and go to CWM byt three button combo.
4. Do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvikInstall cm 10.. after selecting installation file I had a boot loop.
5. Did 3 button combo and got to CWM recovery and did actory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik and selected cm 10 and second time it went fine.
6. Install gapps after finishing cm 10 install and do factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik cache
All working good now...
Kool stuff guys..any change log? Screenshots?
Thanks again for this amazing info

flash kernel with odin and reflash the rom
FIX and explanation how to go back and forth between CM9 and CM10 nandroid backups:
Same thing happens to me when I switch from CM9 to CM10 . I start flashing CM10 and about half the installation the phone goes into loop with cwm-samsung logo and so forth . I just pull the battery out and then I enter CWM again, wipe everything again and I flash CM10 again and gapps. The installation will succeed this time and the phone will boot. I think this happens because the partition method is being changed.
If you are on CM10 or an JB rom and want to restore CM9 or ICS nandroid backup, first wipe everything, flash the CM9 or ICS rom , let it boot and then go into recovery and wipe everything and then restore the ICS nandroid backup.
If you are on CM9 or an ICS rom and want to restore CM10 or JB nandroid backup, first wipe everything, flash the CM10 or JB rom , let it boot and then go into recovery and wipe everything and then restore the JB nandroid backup.
YOU NEED TO DO THESE STEPS BECAUSE ICS AND JB HAVE DIFFERENT PARTITION METHODS AND JUST RESTORING NANDROID WILL NOT CHANGE IT.

CM10 bootloop

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?
I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy
continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...
Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.
