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..

When it asks for what device you're on it doesn't have the HOX on the list.
What do I choose?

DON'T USE ROM MANAGER!!!!
There isn't an official clockwork mod recovery for our device. BAD THINGS will happen (like a BRICK) if you install a recovery this way.
Fair enough.
I've been using twrp. Thought I'd see what I can do with rom manager since it came with the cm9 rom.

eventually (probably when we get source) Koush will add the One X to the CWM family. When CM9 leaves alpha and also gets added officially as a CM9 device you'll be able to use it and update CM9 with it.
I downloaded the TWRP using goomanager and notice a new build came out today. My question is how do I update TWRP to latest build from goomanager?

So I installed "X" Rom and want to flash to a different Rom. Is all I need to do is flash a new boot.img then continue with the rest? Or would a Rom manager be more helpful?

If you are switching Roms just wipe system and factory reset. Flash boot.IMG and flash the rom

Good afternoon. I need a help to fix the following problem.
Recently I've got S-OFF and Root for my HTC Sensation XE using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
After this I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459369 to get SuperCID
Than I installed the latest CWM for my phone.
Finally, I flashed [ROM] CM-10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [Aug-6] .
But after flashed ROM without error and rebooted my phone it still loaded a rom instead of CyanogenMod. Then I re-installed it, removed battery, and loaded the phone at it was working. Now I have interesting but: when my phone charging and I shutdown it, my sensation after shutdown automatically loads CWM Recovery Menu
How can I fix it?
up!
First load of cyanogenmod was taking soo long it about 5-6 minutes..
I think you need to reinstall cwm recovery, if the problem still on
