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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
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..

Hi,
Switching kernels is an easy process.
Copy the new kernel to the root of your sd card, wipe cache and dalvik, flash like a ROM and reboot.
If you are not happy with the newly flashed kernel, you can restore to the backup you made before flashing it.
Ok thanks for the speedy reply

Who uses elegancia ?
I been using it for a week love it so far! It has a few glitches but its nice
How can I update the Rom? They release updates like every day!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Same was as you installed it, going from one Elegencia Rom to another doesnt require a wipe so just download it to your SD card, go into recovery and select instal ROM from SD card. I all ways back up my stuff using Rom Manager, Titanium backup and SMS backup.
So basically to update the Rom I have to reinstall it again?
That's a pain

All you do is clear cache and delvik and flash the zip in recovery. You retain all your data on an update.
Is it really that painful?

You don't need to reinstall it or wipe. Just install over your actual ROM and you won't lose your configuration.

ROM Update
Yeah, as long as it's not a bigger update, you can just install over the old ROM. If the Wipe should be required, it will be noted next in the Changelog.
If you need to do a full wipe, just take a backup of your apps and data. And you are good to go in 10 minutes.

Hi,
Your nandroid backups are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups.
Go into recovery/backup and restore ,and press restore when you want to restore.
O.k. so once I backed it up I can now instal my new Rom/and then whenever I want to reinstall the old Rom I then just hot restore and it goes on my sd card then I can reinstall it?so now do I do a full wipe minus the sd card. Please explain.

Hi,
Yes.
Once you have backed up,you can run a SuperWipe,which cleans the phone and prepares it for a new ROM.
The sd card is untouched.
Thank you very much. Takecare!!!

Hey inorder for me to see my backed up roms I need to restore them first correct then they will be viewable in sd card and on file folder?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
no, restore is a option to restore device to previous state. Say you don't want the new rom you just installed,you can wipe then restore to your backup.

O.k. so if I wanted to I could run a couple different roms then just do s full wipe and then hit restore and get my original 1st Rom put back on my phone.

In 4th ext touch you press on the backup a menu pops up, press delete, you then have deleted your backup. There are several ways to delete, this is one way through 4ext. Hope this helps....
