I'm new to rooting, and new to flashing roms, i downloaded rom manager but it wasn't letting me flash Cyanogen 6.0, So i go to the cyanogen website and follow their instructions to flash CM6 on to my HTC Evo.
It worked, but I disliked the rom and wanted to go back to Baked Snack, so I load up rom manager and tell it to restore to the backup I did before flashing and it won't. it starts to, and aborts, or it half flashes it and i've got this /really/ ugly pesudo htc sense with no apps that takes 20 minutes to load and the market crashes as soon as you open it.
i've flashed back to Cyanogen for the time being cause I want to have a working phone, but I want to get away from Cyanogen, I like HTC sense, and i liked Baked snack.
can anyone help me? I think the problem is the Hboot from when i did the engineering spl step of Cyanogens evo walkthrough..

Hello- I have been very upset lately that Rogers refuses to push any updates at all for the HTC Magic. I was sick of having a market place filled with old apps. Plus 1.5 is very laggy.
Anyways, so I decided to root. I used the guide for getting around the 911 "fix" and I was able to load a rom of a copy of the rogers rom with super user permissions. But that's as far as I got.
Now, I flashed the RA Recovery V.1.7.0H via Rom Manager. When I boot into recovery all goes well, I see the recovery screen and everything. But a few seconds later my phone reboots and kicks me out of recovery. This also happened with the clockwork recovery.
I have an HTC Magic 32A. Any help at all would be appreciated as it's not fair that Rogers is allowed to ruin my experience with the Android OS.
Ok, so my phone is a rooted Droid 2, and all my root required apps seem to be working fine. Well, I wanted to try some new roms, and most definitely backup my phone. So I start Rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, it tells me that was successful, then I try to backup current ROM, and it restarts my phone, and it loads up like nothing has changed. I go to Manage and restore current backups, and there is nothing there. If it makes a difference, the little loading swirl at the bottom is basically always there.
I'm quite confused, I thought this was a straight forward application, but it just seems not to be doing anything. Any help is appreciated.
I'm afraid I won't be much help but the exact same thing happened with my rooted Captivate. According to what I've read on CyanogenMod.com, when you flash Clockwork, it's supposed to put you in recovery. Mine didn't do that, but in ROM Manager, it lists Clockwork as my current recovery. I also tried to backup my current ROM and it did go into recovery and then rebooted and I had the same result as you. I read that you can't flash Clockwork on Froyo and if that's true, it's going to be a pain in the butt to flash back to Eclair, flash Clockwork, reflash Froyo, then try to install Cyanogen. I'm hoping someone will tell me there's either a Clockwork for Froyo or an easier way to do this.
I had same problems when first using ROM Manager. I found out eventually that the little swirls are ads loading.
After upgrading to Premium and getting rid of the ads, ROM Manager has worked fine for me.

Hi, I searched all over the forum here and couldn't find an answer to this. I have a HTC HD2 (love it still) and recently got a HTC Thunderbolt for business. I usually root these phones when I get it so no surprise here
I spent many hours researching what I can like I did for my HD2 and am ready to flash the ROM now. I rooted it already and now want to install Das BAMF Stripped but don't know how to without Clockwork Recovery. It sounds like a identical process to my HD2 except there is no MAGLDR for this version (not that I know of at least) and I think the Clockwork Recovery install is different for each phone so I can't just flash it.
Do I need to use ROM Manager from the market to do this? I prefer installing it and having the option to boot CWR if possible instead of relying on the application.
Any steps on where to get it and how to flash it properly on the Thunderbolt will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Install ROM manager. From there you install CWR. Then reboot. I wouldnt use it for anything else. You can uninstall it when you get CWR installed.

I see how it works now. So that's the only way to install it on the Thunderbolt? I was actually doing it after I posted. Up and running on Das BAMF ROM now.
Thanks
I have been using my HTC G1 for the nearly one year, i actually bought the phone on ebay (used), simply because it had slide-out keyboard.
After i found about Cyanogen mods, i rooted the phone like any other geek and installed Cyanogenmod 6, but the phone was slow and it was frustrating to multi-task. Every time i has a couple of programs running on the background, if i go to the home screen, it will all go blank for a while and then load again.
Then, i decided to downgrade the to Cyanogenmod4, which is 1.6. Everything was working fine, but i wasn't able to enjoy all the cool new features of Froyo. So i started experimenting a lot of Froyo roms aout there to find out the best.
And i finally found the best ROM for G1. It is 'Froyo By Laszlo', the rom is simply phenomenal.
For the 1st time ever with a Froyo rom i was able to multi-task without any issues what so ever, games were working great and it was really fast.
The best thing about this Rom is that, it has all the little features bundled with it, so i don't need to install any additional apps to tweak it, like LauncherPro (fastest launcher for G1), CPU overclocking app is in-built, comcache enable (can switch to swap if you want), MinimalGreen mixed with Gingerbred theme.
You do require
SPL: 1.33.0013d (hboot), RADIO: 2.22.27.08 / 28.25 and EXT 4 PARTITION
Before you flash this Rom. Go to this thread for instructions.
To get the appropriate Radio and HBOOT, go to this thread here. (After getting the Radio and HBOOT, skip the instructions to install Gingerbread Rom and follow the instructions in the above thread to get the Froyo Rom)
It only took me 30mins to install the new Radio, Hboot and Rom.
Try this Rom, if you have a G1 and give it a new life.

Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see
