How do I install flash on my ascend. I have android 2.1 but I heard you can still do it.

So I've been trying to find why ROM manager should not be used with this device and I just see that I shouldn't. I came from a MyTouch 4G where that or 4EXT were standard.
What symptoms does ROM manager cause?
I've noticed that any ROM I try to flash that doesn't use aroma installer fails at checking the update package. Is this one and how do I avoid it?

Rom manager does not support our device so any recovery you flash is going to result in a bricked phone. It's just that simple. Even after installing the correct custom recovery, stay away from it because you won't find any compatible roms either. Not to mention that in order to flash a rom with rom mangler you first have to flash a recovery so it knows which roms to look for.

I have ROM manager on my phone already. Hasn't seemed to brick it yet. I just can't flash ROMs through it unless they are packaged with aroma. But wiping works fine.

How are you using it at all? Doesn't it prompt you to install a recovery?

He will learn.....soon to be a statistic,wanting to know how to unbrick his phone.
I'm more than prepared to fix a brick.
It flashes through the market app fine using the i9000(?) option. I can then reboot into recovery fine and flash/wipe/mount just fine. Though the model mismatch might also be causing the issue where I can't flash anything not packaged with aroma.

Your lucky flashing that recovery should have soft bricked your phone. This is not the i9000. That's the galaxy s international version of the phone. Then there's the t959 vibrant. And the t959w for wind Mobile. Which are all slightly different. Like i said really lucky. Sooner or later it's likely to burn you.

I know this isn't the I9000. Perhaps I should consider dusting off my coding knowledge and make a compatible recovery.
This phone is so much different than my old HTC glacier... -_-

We have cwm recoveries for the phone they just don't flash thru Rom Manager.

Given that CyanogenMod is dumping ROM Manager, it seems like energy could be better put elsewhere.

The ROMs you can use depend on your phone, not on the ROM currently in use (your default OS is just the "stock" ROM).
Just make absolutely sure the ROM you use is for your exact phone model or you can brick it.

Is it necessary to update the baseband to run the new 4.x.x roms? Or am I fine on 7/15/11 baseband?

if you are referring to what i think you are trying to, its not necessary per se, but its always recommended. download the app "GetRil" and run it for an easy fix.

You're fine on the 7/15/11 bb. You just may have to flash the baseband fix to make calls working if a rom was built for 2.3.4

I'm new to this so I don't actually know where this question would fall under .
But I was just wondering what would happen if I installed a custom ROM over a stock rom

the stock rom is gone forever (as far as being on the phone) and the custom rom is your new software,
I understand that part. However I was just wondering if it would brick the device if I did that
