Boot to recovery and wipe everything (dalvin, cache,etc) and restart the whole installation.

I ended up unrooting with odin and rebooted to ics 4.0.1? Phone is now back on stock rom. I will root it once more and back up the phone this time. Thanks for the help.

I was on speed rom 7.5, but i liked the way cm10 looked so I wiped my data and all that and flashed it. My phone hasn't done anything but stay on the cyanogen rotating thing for like 15 minutes. Please help. (Ps. I was dumb and didnt make a nandroid backup -_-)

Im not an expert, but did you create a backup? or try wiping twice over and re-installing.
Need a littlemore information. Are you s-off? What recovery are you using?

same thing happened to my phone with CM 10, so i ended up instaling the android revolution rom for the time being.
What recovery are you using? Use 4ext if you aren't, try again, if it loops more than once, you either forgot to wipe before install or you need to flash the kernel manually.

I also had a problem when I flashed Speedrom but with versions 6.5 which I had previously working perfectly but then decided to switch to SS3 and then switch back. Now I also had the bootloop issue thing where the thing would just keep spinning. So I re-flashed SS3 with the faux kernel and then just did the two things:
4EXT Recovery btw
Wipe data/factory reset
Clear dalvik cache
Then install the rom and once done, go back to menu and reboot from recovery. It should tell you that the previously used boot.img will be used (that is what I get when I flash my roms and they work perfectly).
+1 is this helped!
Thanks it worked! Though I switxhed back to speed rom lol

im having a problem here. rooted my s2 with odin, no problems there. i can boot up into my backed up stock rom. i have no problems installing any rom, its just that my phone will boot and load up to the roms boot animation but thats as far as it gets. left the phone for 30 minutes and still doesnt go. Using clock work recovery. not too sure what to do? any thoughts would be appreciated
Do a factory reset from the recovery.

After flashing a rom? I always do before but don't think I ever have after. Will try as soon as I'm home, thanks

Yeah, it's a factory reset, you can perform it at any time.

So I'm a bit of a newb. I installed cm10.1 witht eh nightlies, but I want to go back to stock using TrickDroid. Should I do a full wipe, or will that brick my system?

You should do wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset and you should be fine. One thing I do recommend is doing a nandroid backup before you do that. If something goes wrong you can restore your phone from it.

So did what you said, and installed the rom. But my Recovery says the installation failed, while the aroma installers says it was successful. I tried booting and it just stays at the HTC one screen?

Did you do a nandroid backup. If you did. Reboot in recovery and restore you phone. Or rinse repeated the process for a different ROM. Try clean ROM first just to make sure everything is fine.

Ok, so I've rooted 2 phones so far with no problem. But when I did it to my friend, the phone won't lauch the rom any more (tried with slimbean).
I used this method before I installed slimbean: http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
After installing it, it wouldn't load. So I reinstalled my backup that I did after I rooted, and nothing, the phone is just stuck on the galaxy s2 screen and a yellow exclamation triangle below.
I can boot into cwm or download mode, but I can't transfer files on my phone I think.
Please help, if it was my phone I wouldn't be so desperate but I really don't want to screw up my friends phone.
If you can boot into cwm and download mode it aint bricked.
All it is....is a borked OS......I'm guessing that if you were on JB before, that when you backed up, you didn't include the preload partition. If your chosen custom rom zip is still on your phone, boot into cwm and flash it again. Thiss time though, before you reboot the phone post flash, wipe cache, dalvic and data.....then reboot.

Hey, ok then well I thought bricked meant you can't load the rom.
My backup actually worked now so all is ok, but I can't install any custom rom - every one of them just loops indefinitely at the loading once I flash it, and after that it won't do anything until i revert my backup.
Are you sure you're rooted?

Yes, I used the guide in the link and checked some apps that required root.
Your custom rom installs......are you doing the post install wipes?
Are you waiting long enough for the phone to complete the first boot?
It always takes longer than usual for that initial boot......

Yes, I wiped the cache afterwards and I waited enough.. 15 minutes sure is enough of a wait, is it not?
Yeah....15 minutes is plenty long enough......but when I said wipes....I didn't mean just cache....I meant dalvic and data too.....

Clearly, you haven't wiped data.
I downloaded the android revolution 51.0 to my att htc one and saved to sd card. I flashed it in recovery with the latest twrp. after flashing I rebooted phone and waiting for app optimization to complete. once completed I was getting forced closes as soon as I swiped to unlock. my phone is s-on. does it need to be on s-off? could it be firmware issues? any help with this issue is greatly appreciated in advance. thanks

I tried doing that and still no luck. Like I said. I have the latest twrp so I don't think that's the issue. I want to try all else before doing factory reset. Would firm ware have any effect? Thanks again.

Before you install any rom you should do the following
TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
This will not ensure the ROM is installed successfully

Chances are you need S-Off for that rom..
