wiping is done before flashing not after flashing !!
proper wiping include wipe data/factore reset wipe cache format system and wipe dalvik cache.
next tiime use philz recovery and chose the option clean wipe for installing new rom option.
for the time being just do the wipe i mentioned before and flash any roms available in your sdcard / ext sd card.
if you dont have any roms on your sd card then try adb push rom.zip to the root of sdcard. read more / google adb to know how to push files to sd card. this wont flash the rom.zip but will copy files to your sd card so that you can flash them through the recovery...

I put the stock ROM on my microSD and put into my phone trying to use TWRP to install, but the first few times it said "failed" and the second it said it couldn't unzip..

I am currently using mik_os 6.5(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354) and Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried to install 6.5.2 on top of it (wiping cache and dalvik cache) but it gets stuck on the lg logo. After going through the first post, I even formatted /system but that didn't help either.
Finally, I flashed 6.5 and it is working fine. Any pointers would be helpful.
1) mounts and storage/ wipe cache
2) mounts and storage/ wipe system
3) wipe cache partition
4) wipe data or factory reset
5) install zip from sd card
And blowww!! You have 6.5.2 flashed ;-)

Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mount and storage-format system
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot!
just remeber to backup all ur app using titanium and restore after a fresh install and whnever u update no need to wipe anything just flash over the old version until unless mention by the dev
I didn't want to do a factory reset, however; I still went for it after doing a nandroid backup.
I followed all the steps mentioned by sshbz, but it still got stuck at the boot logo (the one with website address written).
Finally, thanks to the Nandroid backup, I reverted back to 6.5 without having to go through titanium restore.
For 6.5.2, the rom link is given in post 1 and mik_os had also posted a fix for clockword mod users.
I have tried the below
1. Install only the rom
2. Install rom and then the fix
Neither worked. I think I would have to wait for the next update now unless someone can make this work for me.
Hi Guys i have a few question on Flashing. I have been reading a lot from this site but i still have a few doubts before i can flash without question.
I own a I9100G and i flashed supermatos kernel using Odian as a result i got CWM, using recovery mode of this cwm i installed super Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374135) (zip) from sd card.
My questions
1)If now i wnt to go back to a completely stock ROM do i need to use Odian only or i can use CWM?
2)Flashing custom ROM using CWM do i always need to wipe data/factory reset and in mount & storage always select format /system partision?
3)Once during flashing I did make a backup using CWM and wanted to flash a new Custom ROM so i wipe data/factory reset and also chose format/system partision and when i went to chose the zip from sd card to my surprise neither was the zip there nor was my previous backup. why did this happen?
I knw they are a lot of noob questions but i need to clear them to flash more comfortably

ODIN
2)Flashing custom ROM using CWM do i always need to wipe data/factory reset and in mount & storage always select format /system partision?
No just follow the roms instructions
3)Once during flashing I did make a backup using CWM and wanted to flash a new Custom ROM so i wipe data/factory reset and also chose format/system partision and when i went to chose the zip from sd card to my surprise neither was the zip there nor was my previous backup. why did this happen?
You formatted the sd card .
You can always copy the clockwork mod folder to your external sd card or PC .

Wipe data/factory reset will not delete the rom.zip from your internal sd card. The wipe only wipes app/appdata/settings, not custom folders/files.

you say you 'failed at the last second' when trying to install CM10... what actually happened?
you say you can access android recovery so I would initially try a factory reset (on the first page of recovery) 'wipe data/factory reset' and see where that gets you
report back if you require any more help :good:

I tried the wipe data/factory reset and all it does is finish up and upon reboot just hangs at the boot screen.
As for what actually happened when it failed, I got the following error
"set_perm: some changes failed"

You could try a fresh install of the CM10 rom that you have installed but first you need to do a full system wipe (go into recovery>select 'mounts and storage'> format the following >>> data, system, osh, preinstall and cache)
What else do you have installed on your sd card (that you can see in Recovery)... if the install fails again you're going to have to go back and instal a rom that you know will work (if you haven't got any on the internal sd card you are going to have to install one)

You're going to have to install it on your phone first. As your not able to start up your phone you are going to have to take your external sd card out of your phone and, using a card reader, install the rom that you want on your external card from your pc and then put it back into your phone and access recovery again.
I would recommend that you do a full system wipe before installing the Rom. After you have done the wipe go to 'install zip from sd card' and instead of selecting 'install zip from internal' just select 'choose zip from sd card' and you should be able to see the rom that you installed on your external card.

If this were me now, I would be trying a stable proven rom like CM7.2 (link here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus)
Repeat the installation process and make sure you're doing a full system wipe first.
Do not install Gapps with rom... let's get your phone working first. (just reread your post... after you've installed the rom your phone should not reboot itself?)
When i flash any rom with zxc recovery at booting it say uncryption unsuccessfully plz enter the correct password
I try wipe cache and data
Format your data partition!
+ Plus when flashing roms also patch the boot image so it does not get encrypted on next boot of rom.
SuperSu/Magisk and Custom Kernels have the above patch, plus a script called FED patcher.
TWRP doesn't work well with encrypted devices.
Format data
This is encrypted by the company..so to avoid this first you need to take a backup of the internal storage and then copy the ROM files and gapps in the SD card ..now open twrp recovery then click on wipe then format data...then type yes
This will format the internal data ..(SO PLEASE TAKE A BACK)
..Now install the ROM using sd card and enjoy the ROM..
Hope this solves your issue
