Well after struggling trying to understand flashing roms and what not I found the easy way..rom manager app from the market place...they do have a free version witch you do have to install regardless if your buying the premium..witch I did buy it to for support..after I perm rooted my phone I downloaded rom manager..clicked on the very first on to flash clockworkmod recovery..went down to back up current rom I named..went back into rom manager clicked download rom clicked the first one than bacon bits..to get bacon bit and overclock my phone to 1497mhz..its gonna ask you if you want to back up current rom I did not checked the box cuz I had already done it, than it gives you another box to clear the cache..witch I did check the box..let it do its thing took another 5 min..after it rebooted I was all done..but I did have to download all my apps again..unless if your google backup just downloads them for you..and now I just finished flashing the htc sense on my g2..everything work really nice..and the cool part is that all you have to do is go into your rom manager app..click on manage and restore back ups and you could just switch on whatever rom you want..if I want to be running froyo ot htc sense..one click away..really nice

That's awesome but u are preaching to the choir. Well some of us. I'm thinking about buying the paid version. I think it lets u download rom updates. U should check out titianium backup. One click restores apps and app data. I have the paid version one click restore.

Lol..na wasnt preaching...but thanx I'm gonna download titanium back up..its just I'm a new to flashing roms and stuff and this is easy for me

IT should be stated that Apps ONLY should be installed from one rom to a DIFFERENT rom.
DATA is highly NOT recommended to be copied over.
Data transfer is the reason most roms dont run properly after being installed.
Using appbrain is the way to go, IMHO
buy the full verson it is worth every penny ive had since my g1 but it keep unrooting my g1 for some reason so used amon ra recovery but if you r on a g2 now the full version is a must have!

Ok, I've looked are and can't find this anywhere. Sorry if its a super noob question, but if I'm running one version of a Rom like bugless v .02 and he comes out with another newer version like .03. Do I have to completely wipe my phone again to upgrade? Or is their another way I can load the new version or switch to a different Rom without having to redownload all my apps again and arrange my whole home screens again?
Thanks for anyone who answers this. You guys are all life savers for all of us newbies.

Generally in the same family if roms you do not need to wipe. If things start acting stupid it may brr necessary to wipe and re flash.
Y canou also buy a program like mybackup pro to ease the reinstall pain.

ALWAYS do a full wipe, unless informed by the dev otherwise. NEVER flash two different ROMS over each other. If you want to look around and get a feel for different ROMS but would hate the headache of flashing a ROM that you didn't like, only to have to flash your go-to ROM after and have to download all your apps and set up everything to your liking all over again, then do a nandroid backup.
always full wipe, less problems later...

**** toast... your totally right... balls sorry. I'll try to delete or move it. Thanks
And thanks to everyone who answered my question, it helps a lot.

Hi, I'm going mad because I can't get boot manager to work with the roms I want! I want to run virtuous quattro ics beta as my phone rom and smartdroid 3.1 T in slot 1. I've done everything but everytime I install smartdroid to slot 1 it hangs on the HTC white splash screen. I installed blackice and it worked just fine. I have forced large .imgs but it wont work. I think it may work through restoring nandroid but I don't get how I would do that?? Any help would be nice, spent the last 2 days trying to work it
Sent from my Desire HD trying to get boot manager to work -_____- using XDA App
Some ROMs have things in the updater-script that won't work correctly when flashing them to a Boot Manager slot.
What I do is this:
1) Make a nandroid backup of my main ROM.
2) Fully wipe the phone and install the new ROM.
3) Make a nandroid backup of the new ROM.
4) Restore the first backup of my main ROM.
5) Go into Boot Manager and install using the nandroid of the new ROM to one of the slots.
There are also some pre-made nandroid backups in this great thread by SmokeyMcBong. In the last few pages there are also some good tips on how to get around various problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257450
Hope that helps!
So basically I'm on rcmix 4.0 right now and have a nandroid backup already
I should wipe and flash smartdroid
Make a nandroid backup of it through recovery
Restore my backup of rcmix
Go into boot manager and restore nandroid of smatrdroid to one if the slots??

Yep, that's how I've done it in the past - use the Install Zip option then Restore Nandroid. There's also some stuff in the thread about problems when using wifi and things working better using mobile data.
when u say use the install zip option and restore nandroid....isn't there a seperate option which is restore nandroid?? Shouldn't i do that instead....screenshot attached of what i mean

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Yep, the screenshot shows the option I mean - it's the restore nandroid option on the install zip menu.
So I rooted a friend's evo about a year ago and it is running:
Android 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.17-gee557fd [email protected] #15
It wants to update to System Upgrade 4.24.651.1 (109.22mb) FOTA update. It fails because it is rooted...
What is the best way to do this? Unroot and update? Or flash the rooted rom?
Hey,
you my friend need to post in the right section Q/A ask a mod to move it....
but the easiest would be to flash a custom rooted rom.
Oh and btw never update ota with root many bad things can happen.

Thanks! Is this something I can flash over what he has now? If so, I will have to backup his data, right? Also, I will do a nandroid backup just in case...
Back up the apps using titanium backup, wipe, flash, and re-install (user apps only) with titanium backup. There are other apps out there that will back up contacts and text messages separately, but I have personally always had the best luck with Titanium back-up when it comes to apps. To really give yourself a chance at minimal issues only restore the apps and not the data unless you really need to.

Unless told otherwise, always do a full wipe TWICE! I back up all of my apps before a flash.

Did you use ROM manger to back your ROM? And the 1979 that's the same thing I got when I back up my phone using the recovery. So that might be it. Another question how many time did you back up your gs3 ?

Dose the 1979 file like something like 1979-01-02.12-34 that's not right but something like that if then it might be that but since u use cwm . You have a file on your SD card called cwm which your back up file should be there . And I believe it is name after that number . . Just in case have a ROM zip ready .. restore that file if it work you good if it don't it well tell just read. Then go flash to the zip ROM you have then go find a stock ROM and flash over .. simple... good luck
Ok so I just got this D710 Epic 4G touch. With some of the info I have read I'm guessing that it's kinda easy to brick these if you use the wrong method to flash a rom if it's before the source release & I'm not sure about where this phone is at. It has the Leaked(FF02) ICS Rom & Stock Recovery on it. I am not sure when this was released.
What I want to do is put phone on a good stable stock rom that everything works to get a good base & nandroid backup. Then I want to go to a good stable ICS or JB rom for my daily driver. Can I just Odin a OTA Stock Debloated Rooted Rom back it up then go from there?
Right now this phone's radio will turn off for a few seconds at times. This morning my phone rang so I answered it that's when the phone's radio turned off so that made me hang up on a Customer when I answered the Phone=NOT GOOD
I want/need something that fully works. Like the GPS works & the radio don't turn off n all that jazz.

A daily driver stock JB ROM will be leaked at some point today. Rooted versions also in the works. Keep an eye out for FK23 threads.
Also the radio problem looks like the eg30 radio. There was massive loss of signal on that one. Try something more updated. Like fi27 modem.

Thanks
:good: Alright thank you guys.
So I can flash what ever rom I want using the one click odin method? Like this Stock rooted rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
I personally would look for fI27 but yes. And one click is always recommend if your not 100 percent sure of what your doing.
