Which zip did you download? What's the name of the zip file?
If it's bootanimation.zip, you just need to copy and paste over the old one. it's it's a some other zip file, it needs to be flashed in Recovery.
Thnx

No, unless you have CWM installed.

Yes, download a ROM using your phone, use a file manager like astro to then move the ROM to the root of your SD card, then use it to check the md5 check sum to make sure you don't have a corrupt download, then flash as you would normaly throught CWM.....that's it.
Remember to do a backup of your current ROM first...

tats wat i like about android over iphone
with custom recovery, root explorer or any other file explorer, u can flash any rom on the go w/o the aid of a pc.
what i do is install astro explorer - having the option to check md5sum
download any rom from anywhere...
after finish download, use astro n move the rom.zip to root of sd card, boot into recovery n flash it
I must add : make sure the rom can be flash with cwm, if not you could semi-brick your phone. But custom roms are usually made for cwm flashing. Only official rom can't be flashed via cwm they are usually in .exe file, but you can also find them in zip file sometimes and you must extract it before flashing via pc.
How do you install the offical .exe roms then? And how do I check md 5 sum?

Just follow the directions when you open the .exe
Warning though - you'll lose S-OFF and CWM
google for md5 checker

I flashed the stock wwe eur ruu and it left my phone s-off, even though it flashed the h-boot. It did put the recovery back to stock though and lost root, which can easily be sorted.

The only thing that is the ROM sizes are over 300mb and I hit the tmobile 5gb cap so many times downloading on my phones data so I need to use WiFi more... But with the nexus one most roms were under 80 mb so it wasn't a problem . But its still cool you can switch roms on the fly

Official rom (RUU) are only b able to flash via pc unless u extract the upsate.zip n put it in ur root of ur sdcard.. well of coz extracting n moving it needs the pc too...
As for md5sum, astro manager does the trick.. press n hold on the zip file n press "properties" u will c all the details of the file include date time n of coz the md5sum. Do give it some time to load up the details though.
I saw a thread somewhr tat theres a md5checksum app in the market.. u might wanna check it out too..

I this install like firmware?I know its installed after rooting your phone instead of using clockworkmod there's 4 ext touch recovery which is way better.when you use pg58img.zip to install firmware,radios,etc.what I don't understand are the radios and firmware already in the pg58img.zip or do you have to put then in there.could someone explain my qwestions and kinda of how all this works. Thanks!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
PG58IMG.zip is a file which can be installed from hboot. It man contain a new hboot, recovery radio etc. Its not a must for it to contain them all, you could have one containing only new radio for example.
Most people do not cook a PG58IMG.zip themselves, rather download a made one. I.e if you download the firmware package from mike's thread you'll get new hboot and Radios etc, but no new recovery iirc.

How do you install from the hboot?what is that procedure done?Do I boot into recovery?If yes then what do I do next.could you please explain installation through the hboot and bootloader the samething.

You should boot while pressing vol down, it will detect the file and ask you to confirm the installation

After I download 4 ext touch recovery do I flash it to my phone like a Rom?4ext touch recovery is the last thing I do when rooting a phone correct?then once that's installed I can flash roms,kernels,etc onto my phone.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
yes ..i presume you are using a rooted rom now
or i suggest you to use the app (get the free one from the site (download to sdcard and then install from sdcard ..by clicking it ) .... or get the paid one from play store )
you can install 4EXT recovery using any of the two app's
EDIT: btw if you have custom rom installed already then you are pre-rooted already
It's for a different phone yes Ian rooted.I'm sorry for the confusion. Thanks!!!

because you are S-ON(i assume i am not wrong)when flashing a rom it hasn't have the ability to flash the boot.img by itself
you have 2 options:
flash 4ext recovery which has the smartflash feature or
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
step 2 for flashing the recovery
extra 1 step for flashing the boot.img

There is no need to keep posting new threads, just either use the one that you created before or post in the help thread by tinky1.
In answer to your question you put the .apk file onto your SD card then use a file explorer app to browse to the file and install the apk.

Well you could have mentioned that your phone was in bootloop in the first post, would have been very helpful.
You need to download the actual recovery.img and flash it, follow point 2 in the guide below by -Asskicker-
