It's seeming that it's the kernels that are killing our fone. It's the 1 common denominator

Find a different cm10 compatible kernel and flash it through cwm or through Odin.

What is the name of the ker el you flashed. And link possibly.

Have you tried going into recovery? Maybe there is still cwm? Since your flash back to stock seems to have been unsuccessful.

Just had a thought. It's easy to get stuck on boot when you flash back to stock without wiping.
If you can wipe it/factory reset that could solve you're problem.
And it'll boot up.
It's confusing cause it looks a lot like your phone not booting cause of the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah just take the battery out and get into android recovery by pressing volume up, power, and home button. Then wipe/factory reset and reboot system.

^^^^ just like the gentleman said. Reboot into recovery and factory reset it. It should boot up after that.

Recovery isn't there, any way I could do it from adb?
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

If you can get into download mode, reflash the stock tar in Odin again or just flash the cwm or trwp recovery tar and reflash a different kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999

Here is a link to Odin-able recoveries that you can use. I also agree with the others that this is probably a mismatched ROM/Kernel that is preventing you from booting up. The only problem I foresee is that you Odin'd a stock image, so now you are not on CM10 anymore. Now you'll have to find a TW kernel that you can flash, like Morfic's or I think Ktoonez has one too. But you can ADB push the kernel to your SDcard so that when you flash the recovery above, you should be able to then go in and find your kernel and flash that.
What I suggest first is to Odin one of the recoveries (TWRP is what I use) and then once that is done, go in and Factory Reset and try to boot it up. If it works, great. If not, then you may need to move on to pushing a kernel and flashing that.

Volume up + Home + Power takes you to Recovery.
Have you tried that?

Tell people what worked so that it can be documented when it happens again and I can link them to something they didn't search for themselves.

You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

[Q] Dual Recoveries?

Not sure how it happened...well I do know....Flashed offical CWM for ROM Manager, but didnt think it took because it said I need a CWM compatible kernel. And then i used E4gtauto to add CWM-rogue because i didnt think I had it....so today when i booted into recovery from ROM toolbox, it went to CWM, did a nand and rebooted, but it booted into Rogue...? How can I get rid of one of them?
The nand you restored had a kernel with rogue on it. You should only have rogue on there now.
And I don't know if others feel this way, but I always only use the built in reboot menu or volume and power buttons(from off state) to go into recoveries and download mode, reduces issues

Please do yourself a favor and never ever use rom manager on this phone again, it will give you some shiny paperweight eventually
Thanks for the heads up, but what about ROM toolbox? It seems to be fine even rebooting into recovery among other things...

[Q] Odin?

Does flashing with odin count towards the counter?
I read somethin somewhere this phone counts the number of flashed, but can't remember where I saw it

Yes. When you boot into download mode it tells how many custom firmwares have been flashed.

Check the "reset counter", it clears Odin flashes. It's in the partition and firmware setting on Odin's main window.

Let me guess.. you used the darkside cache wipe. That's the only way to break CWM. Flash this.
http://db.tt/6lVWyHhD
Its TWRP 2.3.0.0. It should lock up when it says installation complete. When it does just hold down the power button and reset your phone and boot back into TWRP instead of CWM. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STOP USING WIPE SCRIPTS.

Cool beans. Glad to see you're back in business. Now follow my flashing methods so you don't screw up your CWM installation again.

You should be able to go into recovery, if you can just go into recovery reflash the rom and let it boot. If not go into download mode and using Odin flash a stock md4 you can find a 1 click zip in Freezas stock rom thread.

Not sure. Check their website or email them. They are based out of Texas so for me it was a quick turnaround. They brought my S3 back to life.
