Can you flash a custom ROM without a pc?

Sorry for the noob question :s
I was thinking if it was possible say with root explorer from the market!?

No, unless you have CWM installed.

I do 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?

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..

Quick [off topic] question (since we're talking about OTA and what), if we're rooted and using a custom recovery, do we still get OTA updates?
Here's a completely stock 2.35 nandroid backup: http://rencorner.net/Animoski/stocknandroid.rar (It's hosted on my web server, zipped up using WinRAR)

You will probably get it but won't be able to install it...

Let me know if the nandroid works out for you. Downloading it should be fast too. Enjoy.

My bad. Do u still have it though? And noon question. Since it's a fishable zip I don't have to relock boot loader correct? I can flash it with image GUI or htc dumlock just like a custom ROM?

Why did y'all remove amaze 4g s-off tool file we don't need it?

I went to the forum clicked on the link and it said there weren't any files its safe for me to flash a kernel then? Well ima go ahead and flash my rom I'll be back to see if anyone has replied

htc stock rom install

i wanted to install a stock rom in my explorer because i want to claim the warranty of it .... i know people say you can flash ruu but i cannot find for radio-1.11.82.30....... after i will install the custom rom i will relock it ....so please guide me am i doing the right thing or am i going to mess it and brick the phone ......

Flashing a stock ROM wouldn't cause any problem. In-correctly flashing an RUU does.. And, not all people at the service center can be easily fooled

RUU is only option, but, be cautious, and know what you are doing...

do you know where i can find my ruu ?
radio-1.11.82.30

Can't find an RUU for your phone though...
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Pico
I looked in the link above, and your required radio version wasn't there. So, it probably isn't safe for you to flash any other RUU, as you can seriously mess up your device...
The Flashable Stock ROM zips seem to be the only available answer...
