This Guide assumes that you have S-off and are rooted. It gives the most basic instructions for a first time flasher, it'll also take you through a Nandroid back up using ClockworkMod v4.0.0.4.
Select a rom.
Choose from here or, click the LBC link in my sigi and download the excellent rom and put it in the root of your SD card.
Turn your phone off and just this once pull and refit the battery, just to be sure your not going to run into any problems getting into Hboot from a power on state.
Press and hold the volume down button and press the power/on button. Your now turning your phone on and entering Hboot (bootloader). You'll soon get a white screen with skateboarding types at the bottom. (Oh dear! Notice the one on the far right looks as if he is about to fall off his skateboard! This isn't important).
Wait for the green writing to flash on the screen and go away, any errors that you notice are completely NORMAL!
Press the volume down button once more to highlight RECOVERY.
Press the power button to select.
Your phone will Vibrate (or at least mine does), and after loading you'll get a black screen with purple writing.
Congratulations are in order! You've reached RECOVERY. At this point it might be useful to go outside and bark at the moon if the excitement overcomes you. It did me.
Better? Right lets get to work. This is the business end of flashing and what can't be done here can't be done at all. Well, OK actually there is Android Flasher, Fastboot Commander and lets not forget your Command Line Editor but we'll gloss over those until you've earn't your stripes.
Using the Vol button navigate to BACK UP AND RESTORE and Select using the Power button.
Select BACK UP.
Your now backing up your existing rom and creating your first Nandroid back up. Your Nandroid back up lives on your SD card and can be moved to another file for safe keeping, renamed, corrupted or deleted. If you value your information, keep it safe.
Once finished, you'll get the message "Backup complete!" All we've done to this point is back up the rom that you've been using, at this point you could hit the power button and continue using your old rom, or wipe your phone and falsh a fresh one.
Its important to remember here that if you are going to wipe your phone, your actually deleting HTC's stock rom off the phone and a factory reset will not undo this. After you have wiped, the only way to get your phone back to a factory condition is to flash (load) a stock rom back on, (RUU). You MUST wipe your phone before installing a new rom, there is no way around this.
Wiping and flashing a fresh rom is far more exciting than HTC's offering and that's why you S-offed and rooted anyway isn't it?! Here's how we do that.
Using the Vol button, highlight WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.
Once done, highlight WIPE CACHE PARTITION.
Normally this is enough for a normal reflash but if your recovering from a problem or an issue and want a really really good clean up, perform these optional steps:
Select MOUNTS AND STORAGE
Using your vol and power button:
format /cache
format /data
format /system
Select +++++Go Back+++++
Select Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot Recovery. This step is quite important and your phone will as it says reboot, so don't worry, just let it do its thing.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset once more.
There that's all the wiping done. It's worth noting now that at this stage your phone now has no operating software installed on it! A little scary isn't it? Apart from a bootloader and a radio there's very little else on your pride and joy right now!!! YOU WIPED IT! OK, enough, lets get your new rom installed.
Select install zip from SD card.
choose zip from SD card.
Select your rom
In about 4 to 5 minutes the phone will tell you its done. (DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS), make sure you have at least 75% battery before you begin!
Are we done?
Now is the time to flash any non optional extras that your rom may need. For instance CyanogenMOD does not come with the Market or Google Apps in Update so flash them now. Refer to your rom developers page for further information on this.
Any kernels, keyboards or mods from the kitchen also get flashed here. These are a little more advanced so lets not go there right now.
Reboot system.
This is your roms intital install and always takes a while to complete. However if your waiting mor than 10 minutes at this stage consult your specific rom developers page.
Press the thanks button.
Done.
this is a very very great guide for the newbies! Thanks man
I have a question for ya... what's nandroid backup? does it backup my stock ROM as well? so if I want back my old stock rom, I just flash back the backup? Need more understanding. Thanks.!

A Nandroid back up is the back up you make while in RECOVERY mode. It is an almost complete image of the phone, system, data, and caches are saved. It is important to note that when you wipe you are WIPING HTC's ROM FROM THE PHONE! After a wipe a factory reset will not take your phone back to the state where it left the shop. You'll need an RUU for that.
I appreciate the feed back.
Thanks for the step by step guide, I flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM and it is working perfectly.
Exactly what I've been looking for, thanks

Good guide man. But you really, really want to have the phone plugged in and charged. Pref at least 75% battery if on battery power alone. Just for those unforseens ...

Great guide, thanks very much. I have a question about radios when installing a custom rom.
I see that some of the custom roms do not have a radio. How do I know which radio to use to go with that rom? Many rom threads don't seem to specify. Do I leave my stock one, or do I need a different one?
Also, if I do decide to install a custom kernal at a later time, does that mean re-installing the custom rom again first?
Thanks very much for any help for a noob to android!

Don't flash a radio unless you really need to, its not necessary, if your phone works perfectly well with the radio you have my advice is; leave well alone and use the stock radio.
Any add ons such as kernels can be flashed any time after a rom flash and there is no no to reflash a rom just for a fresh kernel etc. Just go back into recovery and flash the exta's, don't wipe.
What I would advise though is when installing any new rom is not to flash any extras until the rom has been running as a stand alone for about 30 minutes. Any, shall we say "toys," Themes and a lot of Kitchen baked stuff should be flashed after the rom has run alone a while and settled, this makes it far easier to understand any issues your fresh rom may have as its easier to identify what's causing it.
This is a bit of a minefield though because some roms need add ons for the first flash, such as CyanogenMod needs the Market and Gmail. Stuff like A2SD scripts also need to be flashed prior to the first boot or they wont work. Your rom Developer should be specific about these.

I use Titanium Back Up to freeze the apps before deleting. That way if I get too naughty and freeze something that's needed it can be restored.

Great tip, thanks again, much appreciated!
How to backup the personal data and apps at one ROM in order to restore them at new ROM? Thank you for the answer in advance.
Thanks for the guide.
Many thanks
Thank you for this great guide! I am a total noob and I flashed the LBC mod according to your guide. I already got root, as I had done this by other guide. I would like to add some advice for other noobs out there like me. The only setback I got, was that after installing new ROM, it froze, and the problem seems to be my Google account, which wants to sync all apps at once right after you have typed in your password and checked the "sync with my account" checkbox. the best would be to somehow uninstall all your apps from old rom after backing them up with Titanium. The problem was, that while trying to download all the apps again, it froze so hard, that it still showed me the charging LED, and the screen was unresponsive even after I had pulled the charger over 15mins ago. Even the power button did nothing. So I went back to recovery, trying to do the whole wiping/formatting drill with Dalvik Cache and i received errors in the recovery, even while navigating between menus that mounting recovery failed. I got very desperate and taught it would be best to just take a break. It was good idea. when I came back the phone had cooled down and I received no more errors while wiping/formatting/installing. I then just forbid the google account to back up my data online and that did the trick. No more freezes and LBC mod looks, feels and behaves just perfect. I got a whole new PDA now, with whole new capabilities. And also, many of the ROM-s does not include the Sim ToolKit, the STK. This is quite neccesary for people in Estonia and soon for most people in the world, as its neccesary for Mobile-ID. Most of us vote for president for instance by digitally signing our vote with mobile-ID which is an even greater extenson of ID-card. And as a businessman I need to give at least couple of signatures each day. I would be quite unhappy, when I would need to drive 200km to another city just to sign a document, or messing with my ID-card, card reader and stupid drivers, to sign something manually or even worse, use a pen to sign something haha So its a very vital component of all phones that use SIM-card and it soon going to be a must have in most countries in the world. So every Estonian here, if you are in need, get the neccesary STK (download the version for android 2.3.4, the 2.3.3 version won't work for LBC 0.5.3) from the Estonian Hinnavaatlus forum here: http://foorum.hinnavaatlus.ee/viewtopic.php?p=6564414#6564414
Again, thanks for the guide, its a dream come true.
Your Welcome.

Yup you can delete facebook etc, if you want to just clean it up, but your not going to make any extra room, unless you learn how to install apk apps into your system partition, rather than market apps into your data partition..

I dont think this question was answered clearly enough Can you restore your phone back exactly the way it was before with the nandroid back up you made? If not what is the point of the back up?
Also, it it best to do a nandroid back up the way you described or would it be just as good to let the ROM manager App do it for you?

Nandroid Backup (to be honest - a tiny piece of Googling would give you the answer to this) but, in answer to your question, yes, a Nandroid backup takes the phone state back to effectively when the backup was was taken....I use it often when testing ROMS and then returning to my daily use ROM.
The only thing that isn't backed up by the backup and therefore isn't restored is your Radio so if you change version you need to flash the older version (which I'm sure that you'll be advised not to!) to return to the same state you were in.
ROM Manager nandroid and manual recovery nandroid are the same, it's just a matter of choice and personal preference. Some people like command line other like GUI. However, using recovery based backup it means that you'll hopefully have a slightly greater understaing of what is actually happening and the options that are avialiable to you, which means should there ever come a time when only recovery is accessible - you won't [email protected] your pants!

simple and easy thanks dude
Please Help,
For some reason everytime I try to use CWM to restore a backup, I always get a boot loop. The first time it happened to me was because I was on Infused(GB) and tried to restore back to Infused(froyo). Atleast, after doing some reading that was what I thought caused it anyway.
Yesterday I was on Infused 2.2.1. I then made a backup. Next I flashed to 2.2.2. I Then decided to go back to 2.2.1 by restoring the backup I just made. I was then in a boot loop. I had to go back to stock and start over.
I am now on Infused 2.2.2. My phone is working really great at the moment. Everyone was complaining about inaccurate GPS. Mine is locking in 5 seconds and accuracy of 5 to 6 meters all the time!!
Ok, The point of all of this is. I want to make a reliable backup of my phone in the state it is in right now.
Am I doing something wrong when I try to restore from a backup? I always wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and then restrore then reboot.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Move between same version of android, not different versions.
Say, u r on 2.2.2 now, and then u go to Froyo. If u want to get back, do a clean install of 2.2.2 and then go to recovery and restore

I am pretty sure that's what happened to me the first time.
I just cant explain the second time. 2.2.1, make backup, flash to 2.2.2. then restore back to 2.2.1....boot loop.

lol I have read that a few times already, looks like you guys are all right!!!
I just flashed mine for the first time a couple days ago as well. And i know just enough to be dangerous. I'm still not sure about the backup process and what each one does.
What does Nandroid Backup do? When should it be done? And when can it be skipped?
What does Titanium Backup do? When should it be done? And when can it be skipped?
For instance, there's a minor update to the ARHD 3.6.9 -> 3.6.10. When i flash this, i assume i should make a Nandroid backup. What about Titanium? What will happen to all my installed apps? Will they be wiped out?
If i install a different ROM all together and don't like it, can i just pull out the Nandroid backup and go back to where i was with the old ROM and all apps still installed?
Also what does Super Wipe do? Does it delete my apps/app data?

Well I wish I could help you but I am not sure if I have all the right answers to your questions, like I said I just flashed my first rom last night and i have not restored anything yet.
Now I understand that a nandroid backup should be done before you flash a new rom if you want to restore that same rom at a later time, for example I did a nadroid backup of my stock rom but if I flash another rom I wont do a nandroid of this miui rom.
I did a titanium back of a few saved games but I have not restored anything yet.
Regarding ARHD rom I can't really tell you anything, maybe someone will help you faster if you post in their rom thread.
SuperWipe from what I have read wipes all your data, cache, dalvik with just one click instead of going one by one but in the end it will make the same effect if you wipe data, cache, dalvik one by one.
Lets wait if someone chimes in and correct me so we both can learn more
A nandroid backup is a bit for bit copy of your current Android set up. It'll back up your rom, applications, application data like text messages, playlists, bookmarks. Everything. If you ever want to go back to it, just restore the backup and you'll be up and running in 3 to 5 minutes.
Titanium backup lets you back up individual applications to be restored at a later time. For example, if I download Opera Mobile and set up all my speed dial bookmarks, I'll perform a titanium back up of the application so that if I change roms at a later time, I can restore the back up of Opera Mobile and not have to re-set anything up.
Hope this clears the air. Neither of which have to be done, mind you, but they are incredibly convenient.
A nandroid backup should be done always before flashing a new rom. even if your updating a rom you should still do a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong. Sometimes devs forget something in updates and it could mess up your set up so always backup for safe keeping.
Thank you both for clarifying it for us

You may notice diminishing battery life with rom flashes. If this is the case, download Battery Calibration from the market. Charge your phone up to 100% and fire this application up. It'll likely ask for root access upon being started (but it might not). Once you're at 100%, click the giant Battery Calibration button. It may ask for root access a second time, just grant it access and it'll wipe the battery stats file. Then, fully discharge the phone (or atleast within 2 to 5%) and charge it back up to 100%. You should notice an immediate improvement in battery life.

I love Coredroid ROM it is an awesome ROM. I flashed the new one Coredroid 9 and absolutely hatedv it had nothing but issues with it. I'd stick with Coredroid 8.1. Best thing would be remove battery remove SD Card and use and adapter place Coredroid ROM zip on root of SD as well as FULL WIPE 1.5 zip on root of SD. Then enter recovery thru hboot with holding volume down and power button at same time then flash full wipe then flash Coredroid. Should do the job.
I dont know about the Coredroid 9 multi device deal i had issues with it and completely hated it. Though I do love Coredroid but I will stay with Coredroid 8.1cause it works flawless for me. Thou now Im addicted to Absolution (lol)
Good Luck

Yeah, you can do that. Full wiping shouldn't delete recovery, you should still be able to get into recovery via HBOOT and then from there you can mount your sd card, put 8.1 on there and flash as normal. This is assuming that you haven't done anything already to screw up your recovery..

My good sir, take a breath and relax...okay good! Alright, the good news is that 90% of the people who think they bricked their phone initially, don't actually have a bricked phone. I don't want to build your hopes up and say you aren't there but let's not say its bricked until it really is!
Let's start from scratch...can you get into HBOOT (holding the vol. down and power). If you can get into HBOOT, all is not lost. Once in HBOOT, you can hit the power button and it will scan for a PD98IMG.zip, hopefully you don't have one on there. After its done scanning you should be able to use the vol. rocker to select recovery. Enter recovery and follow my previous instructions. If you cannot get into recovery, there are some RUUs in the "PD98IMG.zip" form in the stock ROM thread that you can put on your SDcard and flash through HBOOT that will get you into a working ROM and you can reinstall a recovery and get back to flashing as normal.

Make sure the power is plugged in.
Hang in there champ, there's a solution somewhere.
thanks! I will try it later on.
hoop it works..
and if it don't do you have some other ideas? ?
I suppose more info would help.
What did you have before ? Revolver? Prime? Stock rooted rom?
If stock ROM, which version?
And which ROM did you try first when the problems started?
Ps: I'm no expert just read a lot of these threads and flashed a few Roms.
at first I had revolver 3.11 (hc) and the first ics rom I tried was the us stock rooted full (option b). I have tried different mirrors.

I did a superwipe and fixed permission,I have tryed the revolution rom and the standard with root.
after complete i did a reboot then you see the green bar then it reboots again and I wait for more then half a hour..
why is this happening to me things never go smooth ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
same thing happened to me too,since the update two times surprisingly i noticed my screen stucked at the Asus logo,i dont know why its so,it looks some issue there in the stability,
but anyway i just did a cold reboot by holding down the volume down button and the power button simuteneously untill cwm options appears on the left corner as well two images on the center then release the buttons,after few seconds the system will reboot normally.
sorry for my poor english...
that sounds like a different problem because you passed the installation process and the system just reboots (there are other with the same problem)I on the other hand am still stuck before that
just try going back to recovery and manually wiping rather than using super wipe - reflash the rom and reboot - dont fix permissions either.
sorry did that already. then people said superwipe is the solution but that didn't work either ..maybe I'm the only one....
Had the same Problem Yesterday.. - with a Restore from a CWM Backup..
Always Stuck @ the EEE PAD Screen.. - Tried Permissions, Wipe Cache, Old Backups etc. but the PAD never Boot..
After this i Flashed "Revolution ICS" and the Problem was gone.. - don´t know why. Maybe the Kernel?!
can you get back to another rom or base?
how much free disk space do you have?
Yes I can i'am now still on revolver 3.11 hc..
Tried the revolution HD rom didn't. Work either.
Very strange.......
try flashing the stock ww full rom with root first to give you an ics base.....
is it rogue recovery you have? if not flash it first and then try working from internal sd.
otherwise im not sure what else to suggest.
I don't know what roque recovery is...
I will try the roque method and some different roms will be back later on..

Yes, thats normals.. Happens every Time here
I tried both Recoverys (Roque and Roach) was always the same ... - Hope Roque Recovery Helps you..
Flashed from External or Internal SD? Try Flashing from Internal so you know your External SD is not corrupt.. - You can flash from Internal only from Roque btw.
I'm getting sick and tired. Even roque won't work flashing it from internal..how long does it normally take to get past the eeepad logo??
