[Q] How to change ROMs

have found several pages with info but none for the HTC slide. So I don't know if it is recommended to follow any of those.
I installed the CM 6 on my slide and I don't really like it. I found another ROM that I would like to try but have NO CLUE how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction; either via a website or a step by step guide here?
Thanks a million

download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it. go to market and download ROM Manager > open app > select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide > select "Reboot into Recovery". phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery. select wipe data/factory reset > under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache" > go back to main menu > select "install zip from sdcard" > select "choose zip from sdcard" > scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it > after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now" > enjoy new ROM
edit 1 : when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.
edit 2 : you can also flash Overclock Kernels the same way... just skip ALL of the wipes

You are one in a million!!
Doing this now ... will report once done
Edit - what do you mean by Overclock kernels?

CM 6 does not have market ....=/ how do I get the app now?!?!

Here is link to post to get latest Gapps (for market) you will have to get into recovery the way you did to flash CM6)
As far overclock click link in my sig for more info
edit : the GApps link will auto download when you click it

A couple notes on switching between ROMs:
1: when going from one ROM to another, very few allow you to simply install on top of an existing ROM, thus requiring you to wipe the phone from recovery
2: When you do a wipe, you will also need to remember to install the Google Applications ("gapps"). Link for gapps is in the post above me.

Thank you fermunky and raven!! =D I'll look into that in a second.
OK so I booted into recovery and selected "wipe data/factory reset " but the screen has been black for about 5 min now =/ is that normal?
Edit - I went the "brave path" and simply lightly pushed the power button and the screen came up. OK, so I am continuing the process =)
Edit 2 - does the update.zip need to be applied at all?

ROM manager recovery
I have gotten through to trying to reboot in recovery mode through the rom manager. However, when I press the choice to reboot in recovery through the program, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

nope don't need update.zip if you have ROM Manager. what did you press when selecting? power or the track pad? just asking because the track pad is enter/select, power turns off screen.

Good to know I didn't need to do the update.zip =)
I think I might have have used the power as I had done so through the root process but when I touched the power key again the screen came back up instantly and used the track pad from there on.
Raven I OWE you big time!!!!! You have been EXTREMELY helpful. The instructions you gave me were to a T and easy to follow. I found that the Rom Manager was already loaded on the CM 6.
I think this is a great easy to follow post for other noobs and or anyone wanting to change roms with no previous experience!
I just broke down your initial post line by line as it was easier to my eyes/brain lol
1. download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it.
2. go to market and download ROM Manager
3. open app
4. select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide
5. select "Reboot into Recovery".
Phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery.
(when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.)
6. select wipe data/factory reset
7. under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache"
8. go back to main menu
9. select "install zip from sdcard"
10. select "choose zip from sdcard"
11. scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it
12. after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now"
Enjoy new ROM
Edit - BTW I replaced the CM 6 with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784241

I'll ask the same thing Raven asked me; did you use the track pad to do the selection or did you use the power key?
If you used the power then I think that could be it. Try the track pad as it is what worked for me

did you tap "flash ClockworMod Recovery" before trying to reboot into recovery? if not tap that and tap "myTouch Slide" when it pops up and then tap "reboot into recovery"
edit : this might be a dumb question... you are rooted right?

What types of ROM works for the Mytouch Slide? (Ex: would a ROM meant for the G1 work? Any examples of multi-phone capable ROMs?)

The only ROMs that will work are the ones in the "Development" section for the myTouch Slide, ROMs for any other phone will crash your phone.

Poop. I didn't think so... thanks.

I don't see that option? The only options i see are:
- Reboot system now
- Apply sdcard:update.zip
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
thx for fast reaction!

I just noticed that when i go into recovery mode (Power of, hold volume down button while power on) that it says he's searching for pd98diag.zip and than it says: No image!
Does that cause the problem?
Thx!

You do not have clockworkmod recovery. Flash it using Rom manager.
Rom manager is not the same as clockworkmod.

[Q] HOW TO reset cm7?

So hello all I have problem with my games the new gameloft ones dosent save so i decided to reinstall cm7. Just to give it a try.
I used this while thinking i will do the same like an upgrade just with the same files. So i used the faq!
3) How to update from previous versions?
- Copy cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip, gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip to your SD Card
- Reboot and go to Bootmenu (wait for led turn blue then press Volume Down). Enter Recovery -> Custom Recovery
- Select "wipe cache" then go to "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe battery stats"
- Go back, select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
If you have problems with GPS after the update, try to delete the folder /data/location. Do it via Root Explorer, adb or terminal emulator (via terminal ignore the first and the last line):
But there is a problem.
When i enter to bootmenu i enter recovery ther is no such thing as custom recovery!!!!
there are 3 options stock latest and one more but not custom.
Please im new just got my defy on sunday and wanna reset the cm7 to see if it helps my problem.
Thanks you
Ernö

You have to enter into custom recovery, not into stock one.
CM7 includes a custom recovery + 2nd init. So, reboot your phone; wait for the led to turn blue, finally press volume down.
If you don't have any custom recovery, download defy 2nd init from market; you can also find it in this forum.

Its easy, just restart and go to that bootmenu and then to the custom recovery, wipe everything, and reboot. Remember that you will lose all your apps and data doing this

when i press volume down i get android bootmenu v0.9.1 defy
and in recovery i have these 3 options:
[Latest Recovery]
[Stable Recovery]
[Stock Recovery]
so how can i get the custom recovery? i have to use second init?
thanks!

im newbie but here is this
- Install 2ndInit Recovey Installer via File Manager, go to the app and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button. Wait for the led turn green.
- Disable USB Debugging
- Reboot (you will have to select Boot -> Normal in bootmenu)
- Reboot again, this time select Recovery -> [Custom Recovery]
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
You can install any other patches that you have now, like Swype or GPS Fix
- Select "+++++Go Back++++++" then "reboot your system now"
so i have to boot into second init and there i can go to custom recovery right?
so i should do it as written here right?
thanks the answer.!!

Stock Recovery is stock. Latest recovery and stable recovery are both custom recoveries but the stable recovery is just that, more stable.
Just go for stable recovery.

Sorry to hijack this thread but can someone tell me how i can roll back to froyo after installing CM7?
My froyo is a motorola update from their update software and i have not yet rooted my phone.
Help me please

^^Could someone please answer this?

Cyanogenmod updates

I installed CM7 7.1 RC1 yesterday and have a question regarding updates. I can see a lot of nighly builds (on quarx site). Can someone write/explain (or point me to thread [couldn't find any]) how to install newer versions (nighlies) over the working CM7?

The basic procedure is as follows:
- Disable USB Debugging
- Reboot to recovery
- When led flashes blue, press volume down
- Select "Custom Recovery", "Stable"
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select the nightly zip
- Select "Go Back"
- Select "reboot your system now"
Sometimes you don't want to wipe data; Just skip that step. If stuff fails, you can always try wiping data later.

Great stuff! It's working. Didn't know that it it so straight forward .

if you wanna follow the nightlies you dont have to wipe data on each update. you can keep all the apps and settings by only perform "wipe cache" then go advance and wipe dalvik cache.

...and wipe cache, wipe dalvik is important for killing some bugs,as I experienced before install zip and once again after too.

[Q] Update CM7 RC1.5

Hi, well... I installed the CM7 RC1.5 following the tutorial, but I've been reading and apparently nightly version is better, my question is if I can directly FLASH latest version of the nightly or I have to do the whole procedure again.
Maybe i'm wrong... please help with this.
Sorry for my bad english

The CM7 FAQ on the dev forum have detailed instructions how to install a nightly.

just wipe cache and apply nightly zip via custom recovery.. but make nandroid backup first..
