I flash my phone to a new rom, but I decided I didnt want to keep it. Do I need to flash to stock in order to install another rom?
Thanks
No just find another rom you want and flash that. Follow the right step you'll be fine.

awesome, I'm going in clockwork recovery selecting the new rom zip and installing!
Make sure you follow the directions outlined in each of the ROM's specific threads. I'm sure most of them require you to clear the previous ROM before installing a new one, if not all of them.
I would like to clear it actually before installing the new one. How can I do this?

Read up and it will become clearer as you go. I know that sounds easier than it is.

Hi, guy. I'm new to android, inspire 4g is my first smartphone. I spent a tone of time learn how to root, radio s-off, sim-unlock my device. I used the "hackerize-ace" package V9. I'm currently using 【rom】 Android Revolution 4G 3.2， 【bootloader】 ace-hacker SHIP-S-Off(something like this), 【clockworkmod recovery】 3.0.0.6 (something like this) 【software version】2.2.1 . I'm having a hard time trying to install a new theme for my phone, can anyone help me out? provide me with more detailed steps? Thank you very much. If you need more information in order to help, please let me know.

What kind of trouble are you having? What is happening when you try to flash the theme? I am assuming you have flashed the rom then a full reboot then flash the theme.
ummm, I flash the rom, then reboot device, then use rom manage to install(in recovery). But, the theme did not appear the same as post. And some places, like the phonebook/contacts list looked mess up.
For your contact list, sounds like a font provlem. Your best bet would be to ask the theme dev.

Make sure you are installing the 1.84 version of whatever theme you choose. That may be your problem.

Thanks man! it works, but got 1 program force close at the begining.
I'm guessing that I'm not the only one with this problem, given the low number of downloads, but in the Download ROM section, there is a heading for MIUI, but when I select it, I just get a blank screen. I'd like to check it out, since it's such an easy way to flash.

They haven't posted there stuff yet. Wait and it will get updated.

Is that the Ceaser edition ?
Just go to the thread and download it from there (on your phone), then flash through cwm, or rom manager if you wish.
I think he's referring to the miui.us builds.
There probably still getting it setup since the section is empty.

I don't understand why some people insist using rom manager to flash roms. All it takes is a quick scan of the first few pages of the general topic to see numerous amounts of posts regarding issues flashing with rom manger. I don't ever recall seeing issues from flashing through cm recovery that wasn't user error. Why not take the path of least resistance? I guess some people like to skate uphill.

Well i use rom manager to download certain roms but not to flash them using rom manager. And i would do the same with the miui.us builds in rom manager.
And in this instance the miui.us builds (which are different from the one in the developer section) aren't listed yet, which is why the OP saw a blank screen after choosing the miui.us section. just a place holder for now you could say

Use Czechoslovakia manager instead

I don't understand why anyone does anything, since no matter what you do, someone will tell you it's wrong.
I don't use ROM Manager to install new ROMs, the data wipes and whatnot never work, but it's a pretty convenient way to install updates. It was just something I noticed wasn't working correctly and wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.
I'm back! Lol got me another inspire and of course there is no way I can stick to stock. Its been updated to gingerbread ota but it was already s off from the previous user. I've been outta the inspire forum for months and everything is a little confusing for me. I just wanna know what to use to get root,and recovery. The rest I can figure out on my own thanks in advane

No need to re-root if you're still S-OFF, just install this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16118438#post16118438
It's a PD98IMG type install so you don't need ClockWorkMod recovery--just put it on SD card as "PD98IMG.zip", boot to hboot and follow prompts.
You can also flash CWM recovery as a PD98IMG and then install anything.

Thanks a ton bro. I go back and forth between so many devices and I have an atrix also,so its hard to keep up with everything lol. I've given up with the search feature on xda,because of all the useless threads. That's why I didn't name this thread "root after 2.3 update" so it don't pop up if someone searches that,but I guess now that you gave me a good answer,it could have been helpful to someone lol. Anyways, I tried Google and nothing came up,so thanks bro.

Well only reason he was giving you precautionary tips was because you needed to create a whole thread on where to get ROM's when the Dev section is just a couple spots under the General section...

True. Im thankfull 4 any advice n tips. Ive just used one click root for mac though it seems i didnt root. I hold down volume n power n it seems like it restores me back to stock.
I will be nice and point you in the direction you need. Look up NVflash this is how you get cwm. Unlike most phones you can flash the recovery before you get root. Make sure you do a backup of the stock rom and keep a copy on your computer. Then flash what ever rom you wish.
By keeping your stock unrooted back up will allow easy restore of stock system and the use of nvflash to go back to stock recovery if warranty is ever needed.

Thank Scooter and follow the links he gave you. You don't really need to achieve root in able to flash ROM's for this phone. You just need CWM via NVFlash and you're good to go.
To put it onto perspective, NVFlash is kinda like Odin.

I'd be a rich man if i have a dollar for every time i've seen one of these posts. The best ROM for you is depends on you, your desires, and how your phone react to it. Everyone will tell you what ROM they run, but you'll never know what you like until you try them all. And you must use ClockWorkMod Recovery to flash anything custom (ie ROMs, kernels, themes, MODs, etc.)
So when I find a rom.what.do I do as fast as steps

Like i said, you need ClockWorkMod Recovery first, you can see how to flash it here
Once you have that flashed and working, you can download your ROM, put it on the root of your sd card, reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery, then follow the ROM developer's install instructions, since some devs (like me) may recommend a full /system & /data wipe prior to flashing.
Step 1: Use the search function
Step 2: Read
Step 3: Follow directions
You should be all set
