Youre asking how to install a theme?? Find once compatible for your rom. Stick it on your sd card. Boot into recovery, and flash it.
Post what problems you are having. Good luck.

im not even sure which rom to use, i have tried a couple but the adk is where i am stuck at, when i go to command prompt it isnt at the c://adk/etc.. like what all the write ups are at, its at c://user/applications or something of that nature and i type what should be typed in on the /adk part of it and says it can not be found. i tried reinstalling the adk again and same problem, im doing something wrong somewhere i assume or stuck in a spot that i keep doing wrong and not noticing. i just rooted it, so whatever rom i have i am assuming is the stock one since i havent gotten past this yet.
Your in over your head man, seriously, YOU put the sdk where you want it, me, I just put it in C:\sdk to make my life easy when changing directories.
If command line work is not something your familiar with, have patience, enjoy your rom as it is right now and wait until the super easy one click gui programs are created.
Did you buy the phone already rooted, or did you root it yourself?

You say you rooted it yourself, which is great, but the questions you're asking are so far out that it makes it urprising that you did.
UNLESS... you rooted using simpleroot or some ****? If sooooooo, that makes ur questions make a lot more sense.
Anyways you just boot into recovery, and flash the zip from that menu.
It has nothing to do with adb, cmd, or any of that other bull**** you're talking about. Just do what's bolded and stop going 3 miles outside of the box.

I agree, OP, you are way over complicating it dude. What is your build number? Settings> about phone> software information.
If I didn't know better I would almost bet you're trying to troll us. Being a brand new account and all.

I don't believe you anymore. Even Root tutorials direct you to install a rom after rooting, which would put you at 1.47.65 or whatever even without 2.2 upgrading.
Trying to flash a zip that isn't valid doesn't do anything at all to your phone... it just... doesn't work and sends you on your way. Absolutely nothing you type comes off as a "real" problem.
Anyways, I'm just going to say straight out, that I think you're trolling and that it's sad that you made an account just to waste your time.
I'm done with this thread.

think what you would like, im not a kid. ive answered your questions. computers or phones is nothing new to me. family works for sprint, but will not mess with the rooting part of it. so i was left alone on this. ive searched and searched and what u have read is where i am at. basically i am wanting a custom theme. i have tethering and all that crap that works fine. but a theme wont work and a rom to be 1.47 or whatever was never put on, i have what i posted and have everything a rooted phone should have. obviously im stuck on that rom part of it. no reason to be a **** or call someone a troll or say their trolling, when their asking questions. if ur intentions wernt to help, than dont reply. u wasted ur own time.
Hi, I'm quite upset and I don't really know what to do. You see, I bought I Nexus One and since I'm a computer tech (Network is my strong point and I also got a Professional diploma of informatics support)I thought I could go and mod my thing out. Thing is everything worked fine until I downloaded Cyanogen with Rom Manager Premium (Crack3d)and tried to install it. At first it simply shut down the screen, rebooted a few times and restarted normally, then I retried downloading and it brought me to the reboot in recovery mode to install cyanogen popup. Clicked ok and then it rebooted another 3-4 times and when it came back, it was cyanogen splash screen bugging and rebooting in the middle of the loading. I have Android SDK if that changes anything, I just really don't even know how to bring any sort of menu from my pc or my phone.
P.S. I didn't cleared cache and didnt do any backup[thats no that important].
Thanks

First, please don't double post. You don't need to start two threads for the same problem.
Second, I'd start by searching the nexus one forum, reading through the wiki, then, if you still have questions or need assistance, posting in the nexus one q&a forum.

What's this 'cracked' thing you mention? I truly hope you're not saying it was a warez copy that you downloaded to avoid paying for it? The App developer posts his work on this forum and would just love to meet you!
You started flashing custom ROMs without doing a backup? Bit unusual for a 'computer tech' with a 'professional diploma' to be so reckless.
Threads closed will deal with it personally

Okay,
I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place, since I'm new here, but here it goes.
I was wondering how to tell if I am able to use a rom. I know the obvious that it has to be for my phone, but what other important things (such as firmware) should I look at to make sure a rom is right for my phone. If there's a thread on this already, or if this is the wrong section please just point me in the right direction.
If the ROM is made for your phone, then it will work completely. If it was made for a phone in the same family of devices as yours, it may work fully or partially. For example, I have the LG P505. I can use any ROM made for the P505. I can use any ROM made for the P500 (which opens the doors to dozens of choices, from only a handful), but the screen driver is wrong, so the colors are messed up, and once the screen goes black, it doesn't come back (lol). To solve it, I have to flash a kernel made specifically for my phone (P505) after flashing the ROM.
If you have a flashable kernel .zip for your phone, you can use any ROM made for the whole family of devices of which your phone is a part.

Just read the OP of the ROM thread (all of it; more than once). That's where you should find information on compatibility. If its in your device's section, its quite likely it will be compatible. But, you still need to read in case it requires a specific recovery, etc. to be flashed and work correctly.
Thanks for the replies! I've been having problems with boot loops and I was wondering if it was a compatibility issue. where would I get my hands on my phones kernel? I have an HTC sensation currently running sence-o-manic btw

If you go to sensation forum instead of posting in general there will be A LOT more people there to help you.
Once you get there, read stickied thread by malybru called something like "great starting point for new sensation users" in Sensation general, and if you still have questions after that, go to Sensation Q&A , find another stickied thread called "Help Thread" and ask there.

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

I think I need the stock boot.img but it is no where to be found.

I have the same problem. Who did you find to restore your phone? Is it possible that I could contact them?
so basically you paid a guy to google the right RUU???
all you had to do is check your CID (its written on fastboot) and search for that, they really arent that hard to find!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140967
also if you're going to keep flashing different roms its also a good idea to keep that RUU on your pc somewhere!!
There was no matching ruu. What no one told me was that you could use a newer ruu than the one you have. Another thing, before you judge, there were no replies to help me so I had no choice. Since then look how many times I have helped others.

No one told me you could use a NEWER RUU.
If someone - perhaps you had told me, yeah fine, I could have done it. No one helped ok?
BTW: I did a nandroid backup, I had installed custom recovery, rooted with superSU etc... I had adb, fastboot working too. Because I couldn't get an answer I paid someone.
If you have a JTAG machine and you were running a business then maybe you are just like him.

dude theres no need to get fassy about anything... unless your one s is knock off means that there is a RUU for your device and that you simply couldnt find one in the small amount of time that you searched for one...
and just to gnaw a little more at your flawed logic and sour attitude RUU means "ROM UPDATE UTILITY" so i guess your right in not being able to use a newer one... :good:
AND BTW.. i dont have a jtag but i do run a business and in my line of work we see folk like you everyday, ever so quick to get pi**ed at someone for THEIR OWN mistakes!!!
and maybe if youre that impatient and wound up for your own calamities it serves you right to have paid for a simple task..

have a peek at the RUU thread in the dev section and follow the instructions... it really isnt that difficult!!!

Right and that's why I have more thanks and posts than you for helping people.
Yes, I know that a RUU has a version number too. I know what it means. If you even took the time to realize that after having to pay, I helped out other people after that so they wouldn't have to pay.
I guess you don't read. I said you COULD use a newer version of the RUU but no one told me.
Where were you when I asked for help? Never mind, you go about yourself and I will continue helping.
In my line of work I know people like you too. You are the type of person people avoid so create your own thread and stop jumping in with unhelpful info.

about your deluded logic: paying a guy to fix your mistakes is the right info??? seriously?? and thats supposed to help the next guy more than directing him towards the right RUU??? boy you really are a contribution to the comunity...
about your thanks rating: i signed up last month and youve been here since january if youve ever contributed anything on here then you should have more thanks than me, its basic math, also i think i should point out that its a forum and not "thank marathon" nobody wins a prize for them...
as far as helping people: i suppose you have, i dont really care that much either..
lastly: i came on your thread infact to lend a hand, until i saw that youre actually lazy and ready to fire off your mouth at strangers for nothing apart from stating the obvious truth...
so as of now you can take your all your thanks and try and cash them in for the next phone you softbrick and "need" to pay someone else to fix...or maybe not!!!

I understand how the RUU works and how to use it. My problem, though I hope not, may be slightly more unique?
I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
My problem is that I cannot get the phone into fastboot
I've received advice on how to enter the bootloader: power off the phone manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then I' should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power)
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using the above method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far. Rather than spend many more hours pulling out my hair and continually going in circles with no progress to show for my efforts, I'd rather pay someone to make the necessary fixes for me.
Any additional advice would be much appreciated.
same problem

about your deluded logic: paying a guy to fix your mistakes is the right info??? seriously?? and thats supposed to help the next guy more than directing him towards the right RUU??? boy you really are a contribution to the comunity...
about your thanks rating: i signed up last month and youve been here since january if youve ever contributed anything on here then you should have more thanks than me, its basic math, also i think i should point out that its a forum and not "thank marathon" nobody wins a prize for them...
as far as helping people: i suppose you have, i dont really care that much either..
lastly: i came on your thread infact to lend a hand, until i saw that youre actually lazy and ready to fire off your mouth at strangers for nothing apart from stating the obvious truth...
so as of now you can take your all your thanks and try and cash them in for the next phone you softbrick and "need" to pay someone else to fix...or maybe not!!!
as for me this discussion is closed as i can only feed a troll so much!!!

I understand how the RUU works and how to use it. My problem, though I hope not, may be slightly more unique?
I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
My problem is that I cannot get the phone into fastboot

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid
Youre at least half Way there, what recovery are you using?? If you can get your PC to see the device try and format the memory to fat32 from PC...

I believe I'm using TWRP 6.3.0...I'm at work right now and without the phone, but I'm fairly confident that's the recovery. I'll to get the phone into USB mode and see if I'm offered the opportunity to format the memory.
By the way, thanks for the help...it's much appreciated.

That won't help. You can fix the sdcrad bug by flashing stock recovery via fastbot and preform "factory reset + clear storage"
