What is the best way of flashing an custom Rom?

S-off your device and flash a recovery,then download a rom and install it wih recovery
Best recovey: 4ext beta 2.2.6

Don't forget to root your phone after S-offing.
It's be important for flashing a custom rom
+1 for the recovery

If he install a custom rom.it ll be already rooted
Unless he install a ruu

Exactly, that's what I'm writing.
he must be S-off with RUU rom, and root too, without problem. It's more practice to making all operations in the same time.
But he said that he want to flash a custom rom, so he must be:
1 - S-off
2 - Root
3- Nand backup (more important)
4 - Flash rom custom
Our posts are complementary

I directly flashed a rom after s-off

Revolutionnary patch, do a quick search and you'll find link easily.

Oh come on
Nandroid backup is useless
I bought my ds and s-offed it directly
No nandroid
No root zip
When you install a recovery,you don t need nandroid unless you want to install a ruu
He want to install a rom,so if the rom is breaked,there is no problem.downloading it again,he can reflash it.
The only thing that is necessary, it s the recovery.with this you can do anything

HELP

plz help. rooted sensation. I was running sense-o-maniac rom but switched to an ics rom using 4ext recovery but then my phone didnt start after 1 hour so i tried to put it into hboot and it said that no image or something and then asks ffor an update. When i do that update it reboots and gets stuck again but if i dont i cant press to go back only reboot where it gets stuck. What do i do? i am willing too do a full wipe or ANYTHING just gte me into recovery.PLEASE

Did you flash the recovery using hboot (pg58img.zip) If so remove it from your SD card (use an adaptor or just remove the SD and see if you can get to hboot as normal.

And if that's the case, you can put a Gingerbread ROM on the SD card and reflash that one. Should spin right up.
IF this is your problem

Yes most probably the problem is due to the flashing of the firmware. First flash the firmware required for ICS ROMS and then install the ROM, should work out fine for you

Flashing

I am rooted and would like to try custom android revolution hd rom.Do I simply folow the instructions posted with the rom and job is done,or it is more complicated than that.Is there any other stuff I have to do?I am new to this and don't wont to mess up my phone.I love it so much ))) Thanks in advance for any help.

As i said before, i would recommend You to flash a GB ROM version to begin with. Flashing ROM is very easy.
Here are the steps:
Place the ROM on SD card
Place a Wipe script on SD card
Boot in recovery mode
select install zip from sdcard
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Wipe script (DON'T CHOOSE REBOOT!!!)
select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the ROM
After flashing is complete, reboot the device.
Good luck

Honestly.....read, read, and then read some more. Before I ever rooted for the first time on my trusty og Droid, I read information for about a week. You shouldn't flash anything until you feel comfortable doing so. If this comes off rude I'm sorry, it's not my intention, just some friendly advice. Good luck and happy flashing.

Sync your contacts with gmail account and when you boot new rom just sync again with gmail and your contacts will be back.

When I got my first android phone, after years of Nokias, it took some time before I realised how much simpler it was with synced Gmail contacts.

How to sync with gmail?PLS instructions.

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.

There is an app for 4ext. Its available for download on the play store. Its an absolute must have app if you use 4ext recovery. It makes life so much easier.

I believe this is a common issue either with certain versions of TWRP recovery, or when choosing to perform a fill wipe in the aroma installer.
Make sure you have a good recovery. (Read around for which TWRPs are affected.) Also do your wipe in recovery before starting the installer for the ROM, and dont choose to wipe in the installer.
