Do i just unlock my bootloader, then fastboot install recovery and start installing custom roms?
Or do i need to change my CID, update to the latest ATT RUU (1.85?) then unlock the bootloader again, then install a recovery and rom?
i'm still on stock Rogers 1.73
The first one.
awesome
so people were only updating to 1.85 becuase there weren't any custom roms yet right?
when custom roms came at first we had to update to whatever base the rom was using.
Now we can install kernels along with the roms so there's no need to do that anymore

So we need to install the roms, along with a kernel update.zip?
Or does it all come packaged like it does for other phones.

Hi guys, to begin I am not a developer.
I notice that a lot of people want to come back on Official Froyo Rom for differentes reasons (S-Off their device in general).
RUU don't work very fine with goldcard or people who are on a Gingerbread rom. It also unroot the devices. So I propose you Official Froyo Rom 2.2 zip.
It doesn't unroot your device, doesn't change your Hboot and doesn't change radio. It only change the rom
1) Download Bravo_WWE_2.29.405.5_v5
2) Flash 2.x.x.x recovery (CWM 3.x.x.x version doesn't work with froyo rom)
2.5.0.7 is the best version : .img and .zip
3) Full wipe via Recovery
4) Install the "update.zip" in Recovery
5) Reboot
6) Enjoy
If you want S-Off your device, it's Here

Seems like a great idea to make stock ROM for recovery
Will it remove our custom HBOOTS (by alpharev), or will they stay untouched? If not removed, which will work with this ROM?
Will we stay S-OFF with this ROM??
I thought that "root" was stored in ROM-part of the memory, but i guess not I know it's the official, but is Superuser Included?
What makes this different from Teppic's pre-rooted stock 2.2 ROM?
- To go through some other points, CWM 3.x.x.x will work fine with this ROM unless you're using an update-script instead of the newer updater-script
- You don't need to rename the ZIPs in a custom recovery
No offence but this is a pointless thread as there are already stock FroYo ROMs available

I won't remove your custom Hboot, it's stock rom so you need Stock Hboot, you can download here : Here
It's doesn't unroot your phone, so if you are rooted, Superuser will stay

It's always nice that more people take up Rom development, but as Eddy said with no mods at all, this is exactly what teppic74 has posted, namely a stock rooted Rom.
Anyway, include the following info too in your OP:
Rooted/not?
Busybox?
Version of su?
Init.d support?
Kernel-(if stock, mention that) etc...
One more thing..the term OTA suggests that this is the OTA patch that HTC sent over the network, which doesnt exactly descibe a complete stock rooted rom..
Welcome to ROM development.

if you mean any custom roms that are based of the tmous stock rom? then not yet.
if you have a custom rom on and need to flash to original you can always do a nandroid restore of that rom
if you need the RUU for whatever reason get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 the latest tmous is the 8th one down
going back to stock myself just can't handle random reboots and poor data connections

what rom did you flash that this occured?
i havent flashed any roms yet since im waiting to see if there is one created based on the sensation4g stock rom. plus the stock with no bloat has been wonderful for me so far.
i'm gonna wait another week as the devs should have their roms/kernels updated a few times with bug fixes then im gonna try and flash then.
best bet is to ruu back to stock with the link posted above. gives you stock tmo rom with the original bootloader only s-off. from there you can root and run stock rooted and debloat yourself.
I'm about to get the sensation. Is the stock rom pretty good with a simple debloat?

Yeah debloat yourself. Sorry just sounds funny. Ok with that said, its always handy to have the stock Rom around when you need it.

Can I flash a new ROM (ICS) to my phone that has already got ICS (that's not the question) with an other kernel (Semaphore).
Do I have to change back the kernel?
Thanx for your Quick Answer.
So you want to flash a new ICS ROM over an existing ICS ROM ?
Did you mean that the current ROM has a different kernel?
Either way, flashing the new ROM will replace the old kernel and most likely work fine if the ROM is intended for your device.
What could cause problems is flashing the new ROM, then replacing the new kernel with the previous one.
Some ROMs use specific kernel features and if the used kernel doesn't suppor them it might cause problem.
If it doesn't work you should be able to flash back the previous ROM without a problem.

maybe i'm wrong but when you flash the new rom in some cases you can chose your new kernel and the installer will finish all for you.

Yes some offer that, but the op didn't which ROMs we are talking about, so i left that out.
ahh ok yeah thats right some of them must be installed over the recovery and don't have a skinned installer like aroma
So Im ready to go through and flash a ROM finally but I just want to make sure I do things right. I have clockwork mod and have made a backup already. After I download the ROM do they come with different kernels or can I use stock? Also what is a good stable ROM to start with? Id like to get a jellybean one but I have seen one with a lot of bugs still. Any help would be great
Tap'n
9Start with clean rom + clean kernel . This is a good dose to start.
Once you feel comfortable and would like a higher dose
Then move to beans or synergy ..here you can mix and match kernels and roms
Beans comes with imos kernel
Synergy comes with ziggys kernel
Mix and match kernels for your perfect combination
By now you are probably craving a rom with daily updates
Cm10 paranoidandroid AOKP are 3 roms with daily updates
Here youll find imos aosp kernel and kt kernel that go hand in hand with aosp.
By now the first leak of VZW touchwiz jellybean should be hitting the interwebs to take care of any addiction that may ensue. Happy flashing.

Thanks for the help. Now if I were to cwm back to my backup of stock does that reinstall my stock kernel?
Tap'n
yep
So do I flash the .zip of the ROM first then the kernel then reboot? Cause I tried beans but you can use stock kernel with it cause my bootloader isn't unlocked

Just download ezunlock from the market to unlock your bootloader. No reason to keep it locked.

Well I heard if its unlocked then it can brick you if you OTA. Or does the lock button actually re-lock it?

yeah it can, just never accept and OTA and you'll be good. Plus since you want to install custom roms, your going to need custom recovery. These block otas from happening even if it was automatically pushed to your phone.
The lock button does relock it.

If you're going into custom roms there's not really much reason to accept OTA anyway.

almost all custom roms dont allow the pop up about a OTA anyways so you should be clear
Ive used Synergy v1.7, and CleanRom 2.0/CleanKernel 1.0 is way better and smoother than Synergy. Im thinking about upgrading to Beans..but im not sure I want to do that yet till all the bugs are worked out of the different Roms to choose from now.
I've spent hours trying to work this out myself, with help from posts on this site, but failed.
I've got an old htc desire c which I've unlocked and rooted. The problem I have is that when I download a zipped custom rom I can't find the 'boot,img' anywhere in the folders. I've dowmloaded, and looked for it in, several different roms.
What am I doing wrong.
I've got a basic grasp of the process, I've also unlooked, rooted and, successfully, flashed a rom to a Wildfire.
Thanks

if the boot.img(kernel) is not included in the zip then you should search for the compatible kernel..
be specific, which rom are u trying to install?
and can you give me the thread? may be it has something there telling about some kernel..
or
just search for the kernel according to the jellybean rom or ics rom or gingerbread rom..
try flashing different kernels until you get the most compatible one.

Flashed and working ok, cheers.
