Hi all,
I've flashed the ARHD 5.1.1 ROM today and all is working fine. I am now looking at flashing the CRT and Sense 3 lock-screen MODs onto my phone.
Am I correct in thinking I use the same procedure as I did for flashing the ARHD ROM using ROM Manager... where I would boot into recovery and select the *.zip from my SD card?
I've had a search around an I have been unable to find a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
Quote from Mike's thread;
All extras listed here with meta-inf folder inside the .zip archive needs to be installed via Clockworkmod recovery!
So yes. Don't try flashing it at the same time as the ROM, always reboot first and then go back into recovery and flash addon.
Also, it's best to flash one at a time, I got a boot-loop once when I tried to flash a few of them at the same time
Happy flashing!

So, I have a rooted Desire, now Im trying to load onto it a custom ROM, for that I need the program which would normally be found on unlockr(dot)com. However I can not download it for some reason! can someone please see if they have it when they were rooting? please!
To install a custom rom you need to have a recovery mode installed. The easiest way is to install rom manager. Then install clockwork mod that comes with rom manager. Upon opening rom manager the first thing at the very top of the app is install clockworkmod. Which then allows for boot into recovery for custom rom installation.

yeah, I've done the clockworkmod, that way I installed my stock HTC ROM, but do I install a custom ROM by renaming the file into update.zip and then doing the same thing?!
thanks you your time!
With clockwork mod you can flash any zip file. No need to rename it. I take it you rooted using paul's old method. Than you can just use fake flash to load the recovery. This is a certain zip file named update.zip, which you flash from the stock rooted recovery. Then clockwork mod is loaded.
IT's not too hard
1. Download rom from xda
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the rom & select it
When I try and install a new rom from rommanager its says error cant find cache/update.zip? Im using the leedroid rom but was trying to install a new one from rom manager but keep getting this error. Can anyone explain what im doing wrong im confused
Stick the attached file on to your sdcard.
you can also do it from within rom manager by clicking flash clockwork mod.
why do you want to use rom manager to flash a rom?
you can just put the rom zip on to your sdcard, boot in to recovery
and flash from there.
Don't use ROM Manager - it's ****
Learn to use your Recovery properly
So I already did s-off. My new issue is, I am trying to install a rom, but CWM freezes/restarts at random in recovery (CWM)
I don't know what to do. If I try it enough times I can eventually install a rom.
I followed the instructions, after many attemps I was finally able to install the rom along with the patch and the extra files as listed in the instructions. The system hangs in the HTC logo. Why?
Download partitioning zip, unzip to desktop
You get 3 files, put them on the root of your SD card
Reboot in recovery
Make nandroid backup
Format system
Factory reset
Wipe battery stats
Install MTD-recovery.zip
Reboot in recovery
Install rom zip
Install MTD-boot.zip
If you need a patch, install it now
I tried CWM 5.8.X.X (the touch screen version) and it does the same thing! It freezes at random, most of time I can not install a rom, and when I do it just hangs in the HTC logo. I don't understand what the problem is I already have S-Off, I already flashed CWM using fast boot so why am I still having this issue?
Someone please help me.
I found this thread and it has CWM 4.0.1.5, I installed it and solved all of my issues. I can install roms with no issues. I don't understand why I needed that version while the version I was given was 5.0.2.8 for cdma phones.

Anyways, thought I post the answer incase anyone needed the info.
Hi guys, first time poster here, hope i've got the right sub-forum.
So i've ran into some issues whilst attempting to flash the maXimus v2.2 custom rom to my HOX. Here's what i've done so far:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCdev
Installed Clockwork Mod + SuperSU
Created a Backup using Nandorid, as well as a Titanium apps backup.
I then attempted to flash to maXimus v2.2 by doing the following:
Copy ROM zip file onto HOX
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe dalvik cash
Install zip from SD card
All seemed to go okay, but i'm now stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that I didn't copy boot.img to my phone before the flashing process, as I was over-reliant on the tut I was using and it didn't mention this.
to rectify the situation, i've tried rebooting into bootloader and sending the fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader commands, but still stuck in the bootloop.
My question is two part - firstly, how do I escape this situation? Secondly, when I go to reflash my HOX, where do I get the boot.img file from?
Thanks in advance, i've tried to be as detailed as possible but this is my first time flashing a custom ROM so if I missed anything out please let me know!

Enter to HBOOT in the Bootloader
Unzip the Android_Fastboot KIT V2.2.zip and run the Install Boot.img.bat after you get OK, Reboot your HOX and it will not be in bootloop
Hero! All sorted now, many thanks!
Quick question - do I have to run install boot.img.bat every time I flash, or is my phone now good to just go via install Zip from SD card each time?
flash everytime until we are s-off
Please help me, I have a huawei ascend P1 (aka u9200), and been playing around with it for about a month. I've been trying other to find out which one would suit the best. I changed from stock to EmotionUI (Jelly Bean+EMUI1.5), and after that, I flashed Cyanogen Mod (.zip file installed in TWRP recovery).
I can't flash anything now... Can't even force install intermediate pack! (Place UPDATE.APP in sdcard\dload\update.app, and turn on phone pressing up and down keys with original recovery on it. The 1st time I flashed intermediate pack (before installing emotionui) it all went well, but now intermediate pack won't flash. I get the same error every time "Version List Verify Fail. Huawei sdcard update fail."
I think I read ALL of the post's you have about flashing Roms for this device and none of them is helping me. I tried everything:
-with stock and modified recovery.img
-with stock and modified boot.img
-changing build.prop to the one that comes with intermediate pack flash files.
Everytime I mess around and try to sucessfully install Intermediatepack, I end up with no solution besides flashing Cyanogenmod again! I have to flash it in .zip format through cwm, and that's the only way I get a bootable rom in my device. I also tried to flash a stock rom in .zip format (found them in some german foruns), and it flashes, but somewhat it doesn't work. Get's stuck on boot logo. Again, I have to flash cyanogen rom...
Please can someone help me install Intermediatepack so I can flash another Rom?
Thank You!

In cwm wipe cache, dalvic, data and system, then flash miui 3.11.1 from there, without editing build prop force upgrade to intetmediate pack
