I have the HTC thunderbolt and it is running gingerbread. I have multiple roms on my SD card but i can't remember how to change to a different one. Can anyone help me?
You must start recovery.
Reboot the Phone, start the recovery. Install zip file, and that´s it.
Sorry, i forget to tell you how to get into the recovery:
1. reboot
2. after the lights go down push the up or down button for long.
(at my device Desire HD it´s the down buttton)
3. now you are in the recovery. choose "install zip from sdcard"
4.take the rom you want.
5. press yes and you get the new rom
and remember to do a full wipe before installing

not exactly a full wipe. just data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache (dont wipe sd card or else you will have nothing to flash; the only reason why the sd card would be wiped/formatted is if you are partitioning it)

1. self explanatory
2. for installing a an update that's in the root of your card (I think)
3. wipe user data
4. wipe cache (3 and 4 are needed when you flash a new ROM)
5. for flashing a new ROM, gapps or whatever else comes in a .zip
I'm pretty sure you could have found the answers yourself had you bothered to look ...

Hi there!
It looks to me that you are missing a few steps there.
First of all enter into Recovery (CWM) and do a Backup so that you can always restore to where you were!
Assuming that you have obviously put the zip on your SD just continue in Recovery.
Scroll down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Scroll down to Yes Delete all user data
Scroll down to install zip from SDcard
Choose zip from SDcard
Scroll down to your zip file and install
Well mate according to the developer the Wipe Data/Factory Reset is all you need but see how you go and let me know if it worked for you!
Oh and don't forget to hit Thanks!

I forgot mention all this above..... i've done all this and yet no gain
Hi again...do not worry. Let's add some other steps:
Open Recovery and repeat the Wipe Data/Factory Reset step above and add these steps below:
Wipe Cache Partition
Scroll down to Advanced
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to main menu
Scroll down to and choose Mounts and Storage
Then choose these 3 steps, each at the time, always scrolling down to yes and going back to the same place after each format is completed.
Format /Cache
Format /Data
Format / System
Then do the following steps like Install zip from SDcard, etc.
Now!!! That has to work......lol
Let me know how it went for you. I am assuming you can still get into your CWM right?
Oh and don't forget to hit THANKS.

First, reboot into recovery.
2) Wipedata/factory reset
3) Mount everything
4) Wipe everything except SD-Card
5) (If in CWM recovery, go in advanced and here Wipe Dalvik cache)
6) Install the ROM
7) Advanced - Fix permissions
If still not working, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389445 I wasn't able to boot any single ROM based on HTC Sense, but when I've tried this, it worked for me
Hope I helped

No, you can choose But when you have CWM, the Dalvik chache option is in Andvanced. In TWRP recovery it's in the wipe option
You don't have to format SD-Card (Only if you want to have increased internal memory, then do a second partition (ext4) and then use the app mount2sd)
When you want to use the file in the link, follow the instructions in the guide from the link and then do the steps I mentioned
I dont have burned nand
I doing it and nothing. This is why i asking.
i have 2 partitions
Hello,
im pretty new to rooting and custom roms but managed to root my Pico without a problem yesterday.
After that i installed this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375229
Using Philz Touch recovery v5.15.0
class 4 8gb sd-card
The steps i took:
Partitioned the card ext3 1gb swap 0
Wipe/factory reset
Flashed the rom
After 10 min at the HTC bootscreen the phone started but was very slow/unresponsive and had all kinda services/apps say "Process.xxx.xxx does not respond" pressing wait i got thru the setup but these problems continue with every app. Internet via mobile/wifi and even internet-pass-through is also very slow.
Im pretty sure there is something i didn't do correct as no one else has this problem.
I hope someone knows what the problem is.
