[Q] CM10 trouble installing

I have the s3 for at&t. I flashed cm10 mod on my phone and when I went to reboot it, it went to the screen CyanogenMod and it just kept going around in circles like it was loading . problem is it never stopped. Phone is rooted and I have clockwordmod as well. this is the CM10 I used... Direct Download: cm-10-20120915-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip. Is the clockwordmod I need??..... Install ClockworkMod Recovery for "d2att". if so how do I get it?? i tried getting on my phone but it didnt work. am I missing something??
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks ,
Dan

Take a look here
I would make sure you do a wipe data and wipe cache first. Then install the ROM

You can download Clockwork Recovery (Rom Manager) from the Play Store.
Once installed click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and when it asks Choose your phone (d2att).
Then as kangi26 said, make sure to reboot into recovery and do a wipe before installing the rom.

Forgot to wipe the cache!!! redid everything. works like a charm!! thanks to all for the advice!!!

Switching custom ROMs

Having run my i747 as rooted stock for some time, I'm curious about custom ROMs (such as latest stable Cyanogen 10), but the process seems onerous and tedious. I don't want to reinstall and reconfigure apps and repopulate contacts each time. Yet I read that some are regularly switching among ROMs. Are they spending days doing what I noted above or are there alternatives methods?
If there are threads regarding this I must have missed them in my searches of the site. If there's a detailed xda wiki, that would be helpful.

You can read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839 it's got all the info you need to instal custom roms there is even a section on how to reinstall all settings and apps in 10 min. You can use titanium backup in the play store to backup and restore all your apps but on cm10 and aokp roms I think it's best to reinstall apps through google play store one at a time to see if they are compatible. Gmail syncs all your contacts so once you set up your email you get them all back to your contact list on your phone. It gets easy after your first custom rom just make a back up with cwm or twrp first and you can always revert if you don't like it. Good luck

Get titanium backup, new feature: create an update.zip for all your apps. Basically it puts your apps into one zip, you flash it and everything is on your device first time you power on
Edit: you need cwmr for this

Ah, that's interesting about update.zip, which is same name as for OTA updates I think.
I have TB Pro with auto update, but haven't looked at new features in a while. I also have CWM and use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Does the backup include the configuration/data for the apps? And this would include live wallpapers? What about contacts and photos?
And, if I should wish to return to rooted stock ROM and all settings/apps, that's with nandroid recovery?

You create your own zips so anything on tibu that's there can be in the zip. Data as well I believe. You can find the option if you hit then list at top right with the check on it. Should be in purpleish letters.
If you wish to return to stock just restore a backup and your good.

In reading the 10-minute flashing thread, someone noted that custom ROMs that don't format the data partition can be flashed from stock and simply rebooted, but I can't determine which of these ROMs preserves the existing data partition, such as CM and AKOP. Can you offer any advice regarding this?

Most ROMs require clean wipe when coming for another ROM/stock.
As for which rom preserves the data partition I have no idea, I just generally use tibu. I don't mind the 15-20 min setup considering all the work and hours that go into making the rom

Agreed! A full data wipe may be a small hassle, but you'll regret not taking the time to do so when you encounter problems with your new ROM as a result of a dirty flash.
The more you flash and become experienced with the process, the quicker and easier it becomes. I'm new to android and flashing, but in the last two months I've learned my way around and love it.

So, having dropped phone and -- despite wrap-around case -- shattered glass, I've sent it into Samsung for repair and purchased another identical one, which I've set up like first but have not rooted. Samsung may reset phone in for repair, but even if not, I'm realizing I could simply wipe everything and start from scratch, rooting and then flashing ROMs to see what I like. No data or config stuff to back up since unrooted phone takes care of that.
Where might I find a comprehensive discussion of all current custom ROMs and reviews of them. The threads for specific ROMs are numerous, but I'm looking for more of an overview and features/issues comparison. I keep running across ROM names in threads I've not seen before.
Thanks for any favorite thread links.

CWM disappearing?

So I am just editing a post I made as I figured out the problem. However, I have a new weird issue.
I just flashed CWM. I remember reading something recently about taking the battery out of the phone right after flashing so the stock recovery wouldn't overwrite CWM. I did that, and got into CWM to fix my copy/paste issue. However, I just restarted the phone, then turned it off again to try to go back into CWM and the stock recovery is back again.
What did I miss? I can't seem to find the info about ensuring CWM stays on my phone.
Thanks!

It seems that I was also Able to reflash with rom manager and reboot to cwm. Is there a downside to using that method occasionally?

Help with installing custom roms

Hello everyone, im new to this forum and i'd like to welcome myself here. I have a problem with installing the cygeon mod 10 for my s3. I would be able to clear all of my data and what not but when it comes to installing the rom i constantly get a failed error and keep having to restart my entire phone again. Could someone please help me since i'm starting to hate touchwiz!
Thanks and hope to see you guys around on the forum!

There are a ton of guide threads. Even a bunch of YouTube vids! Read/watch one. And make sure you've got the latest CWM.

Are you overlooking the part about needing the proper recovery?

You have an outdated recovery. You need to:
For clock work mod recovery
go to the play store
Get ROM manager
Download recovery for your device
Flash via ROM manager
For team win recovery project(I recommend this one, much easier and better interface)
go to play store
Get goo manager
Open goo manager and hit menu
Install open recovery script
Goo manager will do the rest
After this you can flash the ROMs you want. Any other help that is needed for twrp or cwmr let me know

What model do you have? Carrier? What option did you first choose for a kernel?
You're like the 50th user in here this week with this issue on hyperdrive. It would appear the device type in the build.prop is being is being edited and there is a conflict during the boot process causing this soft brick. Anyone with more knowledge than this please chime in.
If you can still get back into recovery, your options are probably to restore a backup or flash another rom. In download mode you could flash stock stock rooted via odin. If your s3 is not recognized on your pc, there is a flashable stock firmware zip in the link in my signature. In post #2 at the bottom

i'm trying to do is installing the rls 9 and then update see if this help

So the very first time you flashed hyperdrive, you selected at&t and the ziggy kernel and it didn't work? I'm assuming you gave it plenty of time on the first boot up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but hyperdrive is a verizon base, yes? If so, this might be the source of your problem, even though it is a "multi-carrier" rom. You can try wiping data, cache and dalvik in recovery then rebooting. Like i said, though, you will probably have to another route (restore backup or flash new rom). When you successfully boot up next, I would imagine your model is different in about phone

If you're really wanting to get this particular rom going, changing to twrp might help. In my signature there is a link. Near the bottom of post #2 flashable recovery zips are mentioned. Download the twrp one and throw it on your phone. Boot into recovery and flash it. Reboot recovery. Wipe data, cache and try flashing the rom again.

It could take 10 or so minutes for the initial boot. If it takes a lot longer, you can try booting back onto recovery to wipe data and cache again. If this does not work, I would go another route

ok , if not i'll try to flash some other kernels to see if it boots up , i f not i'll just give up on this rom and go back to synergy

When you're back up and running on a rom, go into settings > about phone and tell me what your device is listed as. You may have small issues down the road if your phone has been designated as an SCH-I535 or anything other than SGH-I747. That's an easy build.prop fix, though. Good luck
