The easy way would be to use ROM manager, open rom manager, do "backup of current rom" first to back up this working rom in case you want to revert after flashing a new rom, next go to "download Rom" and choose a new rom to download (there are only currently three roms offered in rom manager CyanogenMod,Virtuous and CyanogenMod Nightlies but I dont recommend Nightlies for noobs could have lots of bugs) it will ask if you want to install it, remember to select wipe data/cache any time you switch roms, and let it install the rom.
Other wise you will have to download a rom install it to the root of your sd card, open ROM manager, select boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, select install zip from sd, select choose zip from sd, choose the rom zip you installed and apply, when done reboot and finish. Remeber in either case do a backup in rom manager first.
Thank you so much, do you happen to know where i can find a sense 2.2 rom??

Thats Virtuous, its what I use, use rom manager and download Virtuous 0.8.1 full rom and install.
Remember to wipe when changing roms, you don't need to wipe when applying updates.

Anytime you install a fresh rom, it starts fresh, you can use the app titanium backup to make a backup of your apps, and info and reinstall them onto diffrent roms. I would suggest to start reading the diffrent threads in this form and start learning how you use your new rooted phone and all the options you now have. Remember there are some roms and radios you dont want to intall on your phone, like the ones made for the desire z. Also might want to check out gfree for your phone. That will give you radio s-off and a true permroot, but you have to use adb to do this. It will also unlock the carrier and carrier id for the phone(so you can use other carrier sim cards). Here is another video on how to set up adb on your computer and the driver needed for your phone.

Remember dont do anything unless your sure you understand the directions. Keep reading and searching, this is what is gonna help you understand diffrent aspects of modifying your phone, another good resource is youtube, look up videos on how to do diffrent things, have fun.
Alright thanks

Sorry bout that. But yes im rooted and running frost 3.4!

I'd try going to recovery and wipe your system and dalvik cache and reboot. If that doesn't do it wipe them again and reinstall the rom.
Preform a full wipe
Damn...ok...thanks guys for the help.i wish there was another way.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
At some point almost a month ago, even after multiple wipes and fresh starts, frost threepointfour rom ends up giving that error.
I loved that rom, but stay away from it. its broke.
stick with Tj's Non-sense rom. guaranteed winner.
thats if, your wanting a somewhat non-sense rom.
Hello
I have an original HTC Desire to be honest I think its a great mobile apart from one major issue which almost makes it un-usable its complete lack on onboard memory.
For this very reason I upgraded the mobiles ROM from a standard Vodafone UK OTA ROM to Oxygen-2.0-RC7 but I want to remove it and put something on that is 1 better 2 does OTA updates 3 works 4 Im not the sort of geek who can spend days trying to get something working so maybe going back to stock would be best.
I dont know what Vodafone UK are currently up to Andriod wise but think maybe I should go back to stock as I will again get OTA updates when the OS is updated something that I dont get at the moment.
Instead of using Vodafone stock ROM isnt there a generick google ROM with OTA I can use?
My only concern is that will I have to UN root the phone?
Will I loose all ability to transfer apps to the SD card?
I would like to get this done today so any replys would be very very much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul

Ok now im stuck its been so long since I originally rooted and applied my custom rom I can't remember how to put a new rom on!
I downloaded MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.14_Signed.zip and placed it in the root of my SD card I then rebooted using the bootloader option I then whent to HBOOT and selected Fastboot then selected bootloader the next screen comes up with some errors then goes back to the previous screen...
Any ideas what im doing wrong?
You need to select recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
As rootSU said, select Recovery and not Bootloader.
Before flashing ANY new rom it's always best to do a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (you can restore to how it was when you made your backup).
Before you flash the rom you've chosen you should do the three wipes... In recovery "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "advanced/wipe dalvik cache".
Install your new rom... "install zip from sd card", "choose zip from sd card".
Thanks everyone ive updated the ROM now i use Titanium backup too.
Only thing is im not sure ill stick with 'MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.14_Signed'
As im not sure it syns with facebook, twitter only gmail but ill keep looking

If you are set on getting frqent updates you'll want some aosp style rom. I use a sense base rom as I like sense - using a sense 3.0 rom, don't expect many updates as most of it just works

once you've download the apps add the accounts in the settings.
I like MIUI for the themeing and speed.
however if you like to keep sense, insert coin is really good, used that for a few months. Generally most roms you find on here will give regular updates much more than Vodafone or any carrier.
Personally I wouldn't go back to stock. If MIUI isn't for you, its not everyones choice, just browse the roms listed, try a few and see which you prefer.
On a side note I also find my backup root better than titanium backup, but once again its a personal choice.

FYI
Baadnewz has stopped working on InsertCoin.
I have been trying to hook a buddy of mine up with a new rom for his Evo, basically make it exactly like mine with the newest Fresh Rom. I rooted his phone with Revolutionary and it all went just fine, the phone is now rooted with Superuser successfully installed. I put the Fresh zip on his SD card, wiped everything as you are supposed to, and then flashed the zip. It flashes fine and boots up, loads to the lockscreen and setup, but then reboots and does the whole process again, basically a bootloop. I have tried various roms and kernels, wiped over and over again, redownloaded the file, etc., but nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?! I never had this issue installing this rom on my phone. Any help would be appreciated!
try using a different recovery
Something other than RA? What do you suggest? CWM is crap isn't it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Give newer versions on CWM its work just fine for me. I never had a problem.
Sloth
I am skeptical that a different recovery will fix the problem, but I will give it a try and report back. Is there anything else anyone can come up with?
I had a really weird issue where I couldn't flash any of the Gingerbread roms a while back, and had flashed goodness knows how many since I bought my evo on launch day and rooted it day one when it was available.
Trying different recovery versions might help, but if it doesn't, I'd suggest to unroot it and start all over. Find a post in the dev section on unrooting, go back to the stock sprint rom, and start over.
I did that, and was then able to flash all gingerbread roms and get them to not bootloop.
I'm not the only one that was having the problem, but NO devs could/would help figure it out. Not even flipz. Give it a shot.
Thanks for the info, I will try to Recovery thing first and then do a full wipe out and start over from a stock rom. The weird thing about it is that this is the first time this phone has been rooted and the first attempt at flashing roms.
Just curious, how many times does it reboot?? Over and over and over, or are you pulling the battery after the first or send time?
Over and over
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try recovery and fast boot from there.
Sloth
I changed recoveries to clock work, and it did not make a difference. I continued to get the same boot loop as before with RA. I just wiped out the entire system, and went into the boot loader to unroot back to stock. I will report back my results once I am done
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Either change you clockworkmod or try something else. Dam man that sucks.

Changing up the recovery did nothing to fix my problem. I unrooted his phone, regained s-on, flashed a stock rom and am starting over. I will report back my results.
Well damnit anyway, starting all over from scratch did nothing as well. Still get the same damn bootloop. WTF!?!? Anyone else have any other ideas?
I've read every post and I can't think of anything that would help. You think it's a software issue, like inside the phone itself might be bad?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Is this something that could be discovered on a logcat? I have never done one or know how they work, but would anyone be willing to diagnose the problem if I am able to get a logcat?
Damn that sucks. What your status. Did you fix the bootloop?

Still no fix discovered, any help on this would be greatly appreciated

What's interesting, is that this is the exact same boot loop problem I was having on my Evo when trying to flash any sense 3.0 rom.

Have you tried using / flashing any of the zips that are prepackaged " wipes " ?
Have you tried using TWRP recovery ?
I never had any problems while using RA but had numerous failed flashes with Clockwork.
TWRP has been stellar so far ... no failed flashes yet.

I have the same issues with boot manager: failing at creating boot.img. And the annoying thing is that the time to discover this is incredible long.
i tried it 5 times yet -_- with wiping etc. but i ever got the same issue..
Try to PM jkoljo, mabe he can help you.
He is DHD guru on this level
Try install the ROM by the NANDroid backup alternate method. But either way, the app just won't work anymore for me.
That happened to me too, but I tried it again and didn't touch my phone till the process was complete. I could boot into ICESense without any problem. Try it again with force large boot image turned on, set your screen timeout to 1 hour and leave the phone alone while it installs. The first time I was doing some other stuff on the phone and got the error, second time left it alone and worked fine.
