Alright, so I was running MIUI on my phone, and I decided to check out some other roms. I flashed the All Stars rom, wasn't too fond of it, then I flashed CM10. After flashing CM10, the default android keyboard kept crashing (it would continually pop up saying it has stopped every few seconds or so.) Also, my when I unlock my phone, there is no lock screen. Thirdly, my home button, well, doesn't do anything when I push it.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point, I flashed AOKP and the problems still persist. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks.
What recovery are you using?

cwm 5.0.2.7
Here's an update, I unrooted my phone, flashed back to stock and everything worked fine, rooted again, still fine. Now whenever I flash a rom, the problem comes up again. The default stock browser isn't working either. Any help on what is going on would be greatly appreciated!
if you're using cwm 5.0.2.7, then you need to use darkside scripts.

If CWM 5.0.2.7 is still not working for you, update to CWM 6.0.x.x or even better try flashing and using the latst TWRP recovery system.
Make sure you do the proper data/cache wipes before flashing the ROM again. Also, flashing the proper Gapps file for the specific ROM may help you fix the issue you are having with the home button and possibly the application issues you are having.

Actually, it's 6.0.2.7, I either mistyped or misread it, my bad. Going to try TWRP tomorrow, thanks for the help and will post updates.

i have intsalled this rom throught rom manager and have also wiped. i have done this three times. i keep getting a lot of foreclosures when i go into settings. any ideas on how to fix this?
try installing it the normal way: via recovery.
Pay the bank!
Clockwork recovery has been reported to not fully wipe partitions correctly. Try changing to Amon-Ra recovery.

I haven't had any problems at all. In fact, for n00berts, I prefer using Clockword. Since a lot of ROMs aren't signed and would not work on the RA.

^This. Probably the best way to do it. Although using ROM Manager worked fine for me every time (except for when trying to install Calkulin's ROM).
If you need help on how to do it manually PM me.
Ok I'm really irritated right about now. I am unable to flash any custom ROMS on my phone. Actually let me rephrase, I can flash them but many things do not work. I have tried Wicked, FreeGS3 and CapROM. They all have the same issues. Let me explain.
Once the ROM is booted I get odd string of numbers and TXT in the status bar, (goes away, think nothing of it)
Root not avail/accessible by root apps.
Home button does not work
Play store missing
standard Google login prompt at first boot is missing, it never asks me to login
Using CWM 5.8.4.5 Touch Recovery
TMO GS3 Rooted with Odin no trip method
I don't get it. I am i just stuck using stock ROM? If anyone can help I would love you forever.
are you clearing /cache and dalvik-cache before you reboot to the custom rom?

If you mean clearing those after the install (in recovery completes) then no. Basically after the install I just reboot. Obviously clear and reset everything before I install though.

Really? A recovery can cause these kinds of issues. Haven't heard of that before. Any other thoughts? What recovery are you using?
Try TWRP 2.2.1.1

Yeah I've heard touch recovery has its problems so I don't use it. Try using the recovery rom manager gives you.

I use TWRP and have no problems.
Do a Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions.
If that doesn't work, flash stock and reroot and try again.
I use touch recovery 5.8.4.7 and flashed it with adb. I've flashed almost everything. Cyanogenmod and every other ROM. NEVER had a problem with an instalation. Or even lost IMEI. I think people specifically aren't reading over OP's and figuring out what's safest for their devices and end up with these kind of results. Just my input.

Use mskips tool for our phones. It does everything you can image and then some. I have been using his tools since the HD2 and no issues to date.
The odd string of numbers that flashes upon boot in the status bar sounds like it's just identifying your external sd card. Totally normal.
OK so nothing worked. TWRP did the same thing. Tried diff ROM, same thing. I flashed back to 100% stock, unrooted ROM. Wiped the phone in the standard Android recovery. Then I rooted again, installed TWRP and flashed my ROM of choice and voila. Everything works. Problem solved. Thanks all for the inputs.
I rooted my phone fine. I unlocked my phone fine.
I installed clockworkmod recovery fine. I flashed clockworkmod. I backed up my rom at the stage after rooting and unlocking.
I then downloaded cyanogenmod from the app's download page. I downloaded it and installed it. I used the default selections which is "wipe delvich cache"
When I turned on my phone, it stays at the blue screen with the alien forever.
Any help on what to do? Thanks!
Reflash the ROM using these instructions. You probably wiped the wrong way.

I had same problem installing cm10 with cwm. In order to get past boot animation you have to use the dark side cache wipe after flashing ROM. Ideally you should -darksidesuperwipe then flash ROM then darksidecachewipe. I like to let it boot without gapps first. Set up WiFi and all that.
Try rebooting and flash darksidecachewipe. Then reboot. I always had lingering problems until I flashed twrp. After twrp is installed there is no need for darkside scripts.
Worth it to just get twrp and redo.

Wow very informative and helpful too bad the OP could not at least give you some props and let you know he saw this and you helped him out. People panic come on here and ask questions then never come back to thank or at least acknowledge the help... Hey for that I will give you your first xda Thanks.... :good:
Try returning to stock and try again. Do things in this order: 1. Root, CWM, ETC. 2. CM7 or another 2.3 ROM (usual wipe) 3. CM9 (again, wipe)
So I was on CM10 and decided to update to the new CM10.1. My smart self decided to let the updater do it's thing and not wipe anything. I got to 10.1 without any visible problems. Then decided to wipe everything as to avoid possible future problems. After wiping, all my gapps just broke and I had to reflash them. Thats when the rest of the problems started. The gapps were still broken so I decided to wipe again and reflash both the rom and gapps. At this point I dont remember exactly but either CWM was freezing at every point or i was stuck in boot animation.
Fast forward a few days later I had to ODIN flash stock rom and trying to flash anything else just keeps me stuck in boot animation.
(Note: any CM backups keep me stuck in boot animation too)
So any help is appreciated ive tried just about everything. I also get a lot of cache errors that Im not sure of in CWM.
Sorry about the long post im fairly new to the site so i didnt know how much detail to include.
You should try TWRP and see if it works.
Ill try it and reply with results tomorrow

What cwmr version are you on? If you still using the 5.x.x.x that's why(have to use the darkside wipe script). Update your recovery through ROM mananger to the latest 6.0.2.9 or to twrp through goo manager.

Have you tried booting to recovery, then doing an advanced wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) and reflashing rom/gapps?
What version of recovery are you using?

yes, i have. I also got back to stock, used an older recover, flashed with an older version of CM and nothing. I first was using CWM 6.0.3.7., after that I used 6.0.4.3, then an older version of TWRP but nothing. I also tried booting to system without flashing gapps.
With stock ROM everything works just fine.
Just wipeout internal and external card once and than install with twrp 2.6.1.0. And don't forget to say thanks

Well, thank you, but it didn´t work.
it happened to me the same thing months ago. never had solution. still in waiting. attempt internal and external SD format. and followed the same. I hope someday they can come up with the solution! : (
i have the same problem too
I try to install multiple ROM 4.2.2 and I could only install one version AOKP Milstone JB1. I also worked the other. however all 4.1.2 rom if I worked. I could not install any 4.3 and 4.4 now does not know what is the problem but I've tried everything! anyone found the solution yet but I see I'm not the only one! (excuse my bad English, not my language )
Well you all are right, I am also using shadow mastery (stock rooted rom). Just because I had the same problem sometimes stucking and rebooting and sometimes after going in gallery. Even I can't use 4.3 and 4.4 roms. Anyone have to contact with room developer or someone who know about this problem.

You might want to find an Official T-Mobile or Telus 4.1.2 or 4.0.3/4.0.4 rom that is Odin flashable, not one that has been custom made/flashable from recovery - then just start over after getting back to true stock, change to TWRP or CWM recovery that is 4.3+ compatiable, root and then flash rom/gapps etc.
