Okay, Please don't say, "USE THE SEARCH" because i have.. and i've read through countless and countless number's of pointless posts and i'm still really confused..
I am currently rooted and running stock rom with nerarchy's kernal
I want to update to the new gingerbread that was released, but i do not want to lose my root, i know the thread in the android development is just the regular OTA copy of the gingerbread update and that i will lose my root if i use that, but i'm sure by now someone has rooted the update, so can someone point me to the link of the new ROOTED gingerbread update?
Also i see there is a new radio and kernal .. so can someone give me complete instructions on how to fully install the new rooted update, and how to flash the radios/kernals after i flash the new gingerbread rom?
Do i just boot into my clockwork recovery (or do i need to use amron ra?) and then flash zip from sd and then flash the rooted gingerbread update like i would any other rom? Then after i flash that, just flash the radio the exact same way as i flashed the update? do i need to do a full wipe or just the delvik and regular cache? And also the kernal, do i need to flash that seperately or does that get included when i flash the .zip of the gingerbread stock rom?
I'm really confused as you can see, so if anyone could give me full step by step directions for finding, downloading and fully installing from start to finish everything that i need to download and flash and how to do it CORRECTLY i would be greatly appreciative..
Please note that i AM currently rooted and running a custom kernal, and i have previously flashed MIUI and MYN'S rom Before so i DO know how to flash things.
Thank you in advance to whoever finds the time to help me!
Basically just need pointed to all the correct Rooted downloads,
OK, the ROM, is simple. Download it, put it on your SD Card, reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash it, then let it reboot and you're good.
I use Amon Ra, so I'm not familiar with Clockwork, but I think the wipe process is not as complete with that recovery, so you MAY want to search for Calkukin's Wipe All.
The RADIOS, are not much different, and again I'm coming from Amon Ra, but in the Dev section, near the middle of the page ,look for the Calkukin's Thread for updated radios, wimax, PRI, etc and d/l the combo zip.
Put that on your SDCard, reboot to recovery, no need to wipe, and flash it.
I prefer to use a flashable zip file over a pc36img.zip for radios.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART!!!!
When it flashes, it will ask you to reboot pretty quickly, do that, and it will go to a black screen wit ha green circle/arrow and sit there for a few minutes.
Do not touch it. Do not pull the battery, do nothing.
Then it will reboot back to recovery. When you get the menu option to reboot your phone, after it formats cache, reboot, and it will take an few extra minutes to boot up, but then you're good.
Possibly clockwork mod may be slightly different, but in a nutshell, that's it.
You didn't post any links to where i can download the new ROOTED version of the OTA gingerbread update that came out on June 4th
I need a link to the ROOTED gingerbread stock ROM
and a link to the new Kernals and Radios..
and you're saying to just flash the updated rom like any other rom? full wipe then flash... and after i flash the rom, not to reboot, but to immediately flash the kernal and then the radio also ?
and after i flash the radio last, wait for it to finish and it will take me back to recovery after a few minutes, and then to reboot?

Then reboot to Recovery and flash the radios, as I described above:

what do u mean 'then reboot to system' ?
I boot into recovery, and wipe everything, then go to the 'flash zip from sd card' option, and scroll down until i find this rom's zip, then i flash it, wait a few minutes and it will take me back to recovery and leave me sittin on the option to reboot now... what do i do here? do i reboot and let the rom run ? or do i immediately go back to the flash zip from sd card and flash the radio before i reboot after flashing the rom?
and what about the kernal ? do i not need to seperately flash that also ?

after you install the rom, select the option "reboot now." after that you will need to boot back into recovery mode and flash the kernel and reboot again. then go into hboot and flash your radios. make sure the radio zip is named PC36IMG so that your phone will auto detect the file and install it.

If you ever get stuck like this again always try and check out the stickys in the section you are in the usually have info that noobs like you can use. Also generally the
OP section usually gives great information. I know you said its u read thru pointless post but its those types of post that helped me to understand what I am doing with my phone today. So next time you reading just remember that in pointless posts could be your answer.
Good luck hope you upgraded ok

Okay so i do a full wipe, then flash the rom .. once the rom finishes the flash, i reboot and let the phone fully boot up into the rom (so that the phone is on and functional) after the phone is fully booted up and running normally i turn the phone back off and reboot into recovery.. I then flash the radio and wait a few minutes for it to finish and reboot again.. correct? did i miss anything here? because i'm going to follow what i just said verbatim, so if anythere there is wrong or missing a step please let me know..
Do i need to flash a kernal at any point? or just the rom and radio?
The rom has the kernel with it after you reboot after you flashed tge rom just flash the combo and you should be good to go. If you want to flash a new kernel make sure you have a compatible gingerbread one.

You are correct on everything you posted.
Just remember the radios part is crucial you do not pull the battery.
When you flash it, it will tell you to use the menu to reboot. So reboot, and it will go to a black screen wit ha green circle with an arrow in it. This will sit there for a few minutes. Don't worry about how long, because this is the critical point. Just let it sit, then it will reboot and go back to recovery.
It will say formatting cache...
When the menu pops up that you can use to reboot the phone, do that. Reboot to system and it will take a little longer than normal to boot up, because your caches were formatted.
IF something goes wrong, and it won't but just in case, don't do anything before coming here and reporting what is happening.
I'm not trying to sound overly dramatic, but this is where people make mistakes.
I've flashed radios several times no problem, as have many of us.
Remember patience is key!
that's correct. your decision on the kernel and radio.

4.) After flash finishes reboot and fully run the rom
5.) reboot into recovery again
6.) select option to flash zip from sd card

8.)it takes a few minutes and takes u to a weird screen but just dont touch it and it will finish
9.) reboot
10.) Enjoy a ROOTED gingerbread stock rom ?
and I DO NOT need to flash a kernal at any point correct? it's just included in the ROM?

wow im really impressed theres no flaming here haha.. yeah that about it.. on a side note you really should make a backup before you do this....
You said "Wow i'm really suprised theres no flaming here"
Yet i dont understand why there would be flaming?
Why would someone talk **** and flame me because i'm trying to learn and be 100% completely sure of what i'm doing before i attempt to flash something to my very very expensive phone?
At least i'm taking steps to go above and beyond rather than just half-reading something and thinking i'm smarter than everyone else and bricking my phone for good.
If someone is seriously trying to learn and feel safe and secure in what they're doing why would someone flame them?
Just my opinion... The only time someone should be flamed is when they are given links to pages where they can find their answers and they just want someone to flat out walk them through it and hold their hand rather than search and find the answers themselves...
There's no flaming here because he wasn't asking the typical overly repeated questions.
And when it comes to flashing a new radio, knowing that bad things can happen, it's important that a first timer know everything involved. The steps, the issues that can occur, etc.

I might be doing it wrong...I'm not an expert with this particular device, but I have managed to root and install custom Roms on an Augen Gentouch, a Nook Color, and a Samsung Moment before I got my G2.
I love the G2, and it took me a while to get up to speed on the lingo for this particular device...but I'm sorta getting it.
Last night I went to work in earnest to root and flash my phone with a custom ROM. Once I found the gfree tutorial and learned what s-off was and all that good stuff, I finally managed to achieve permaroot. Cool.
So I grab Clockwork Rom Manager, which I hear can really make my life easy...unfortunately I had no luck flashing any custom ROMs from there at all. I downloaded each one from the app, rebooted into recovery (yes, it was the most current version), and tried to flash a CM7 nightly. Ended up in an endless boot animation loop.
So I decide maybe I'm pushing my luck w/ Gingerbread as a first custom ROM...so I go in and try the CM6.1 ROM I also had in the downloads folder for Rom Manager. Different logo, another loop. Thinking I'd semi-bricked my device, I start diving in some more. Hey cool...I can use HBoot to flash a stock image back. I do so, and I have a blank, working device. Ok, back to square one.
So yeah...re-root with a clean phone, install Rom Manager, download and flash CM6 and again with the boot loops. :-/
So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Am I supposed to have to navigate to the .zip file when flashing? I mean, when I got to recovery and it didn't start flashing, I assumed I needed to choose and load the ROM of my choice from the clockworkmod/downloads/ folder, but maybe I'm doing it wrong? In any case, I'd love to be able to run one of these snazzy custom ROMs, but for now I'm just gonna have to be happy with permaroot and the Bacon Bits .zip and the kernel that comes with that. Overclocking is nice...I'm eager to try Gingerbread though.
Any thoughts?
I was tring to follow what you have done but got a little confused , do you have a custom recovery flashed? ie. CWM recovery 2.5.1.3. If yes, are you wiping /data and /cache before flashing the custom rom in recovery?
How to flash the rom manually:
Install custom Rom to the root of sd card (and gapps.zip for CM roms)
Boot into recovery
Make a back up of your current rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
go into Advance setting
wipe dalvik cache
return to main menu in recovery
select " install zip from sd card"
select "choose zip from sdcard"
select the rom you want to flash from sdcard
and flash it
if flashing CM Rom you also must flash the gapps .zip
go back to choose zip from sdcard
select "gapps.zip"
flash it
go back to main menu in recovery
select "rebooot system now"
Should boot into the custom Rom you flashed.
If you want to flash Gingerbread roms you need to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, do not mistake this with Rom Manager v3.0.0.7.
Yah u probibly used clockwork 2.1.5 for gingerbread/cm7 Clockwork 3 is stricktly for ginger
Sent from my Toaster
Ah, ok...that makes more sense (all the stuff that needs to be cleared first, etc...). As far as recovery, it looks like I have 3.0.0.0. how do I get 3.0.0.5? I had to do a little hack mentioned in another thread to get 3.0.0.0 on there...do I need to find and rename the .zip for CWR and have ROM Manager flash it? Or is there an official way to do it?
I think you have to flash CWM3.0.0.5 with fastboot.

Thanks for the help guys! I started fresh, flashed back to stock, rooted with gfree, and installed CM6.1.1. I am an absolute convert. Cyanogen is utterly brilliant!
I've since installed a custom kernel, OC'd to 1.4Ghz (scaling on demand), flashed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5, eng hboot, and a new radio. I think I've got my head wrapped around this phone now...and I LOVE IT! I'm really tempted to try CM7, but I'm coming off a phone with some real issues (Samsung Moment), and I'm trying to relax and enjoy a stable build for now...but yeah...holy crap is CM awesome! Thanks for the help...XDA is really a great community!

I'm really not sure what exactly you were trying to accomplish, as unrevoked provides full root. What root method were you trying to follow?
Anyways, now you need to flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image,.using the bootloader. I'd link you to one, but I'm on the Xda app. Once you get recovery flashed, you can reflash a rom of your choice.

It was the semi root one, im pretty sure cause my evo wouldnt let me run some FULL root access apps like titanium back up and such, how would i flash a recovery image? my phone is stuck at the htc evo 4g boot screen, i can get to the bootloader and it trys (everytime) to to install the PC36IMG and it doesnt work :/
What was the PC36IMG you tried to flash? And where did you try to flash it - the bootloader or recovery? You're saying that it didn't flash successfully, correct?
If all you need is your recovery back and everything is fine, you just need to flash Clockwork again. You can do this through the bootloader or by downloading Rom Manager and choosing "flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
If you want/need to flash through the bootloader, first delete the PC36IMG on your SD card then download the one of CWM that I'll link you to. Put it on the root of your SD card and power down the phone. Boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously. It should check for the PC36IMG and ask you to update. Choose yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Choose recovery from the menu and you should boot into ClockworkMod. If you don't need to do anything recovery related, just choose to reboot from there.

Sorry, I missed the action. I was typing on my phone and cleaning at the same time
If your phone won't boot, you'll need to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data then flash a new rom. You can try just wiping cache and dalvik then rebooting to see if that will help, but it probably won't.
EDIT: It could've been that you needed busybox and you really were fully rooted. Did the bootloader say s-off before all of this? If it did, you've been nand unlocked all along.

Ok I have the Clockwordmod working thank you, Phone still wont boot, Im guessing cause it Doesnt have a rom to boot, Idk how to install roms either sadly .
So I think I need a rom to install from zip, but idk how to get a rom thats worth trying to install, last time i tried to install it cam up with :
"Amend Scripting is no longer supported"
"Please switch to edify scripting"
-Steps into the fray-
1. Place the attached file on your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader [vol+down while phone is booting up] let it scan, the apply update., reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 You got the error cuz CWM 3.0+ doesn't support amend scripting [old], only supports edify [new].
As for a rom, I'd recommend CM7.
> http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic download a version from there
> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ download the gapps here
In recovery, wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik. Install rom, select the CM7 you downloaded, go back, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the gapps, then reboot.
Ok Following the latest post's steps and I'm Installing cm7 now thank you people so much for the help so far, ill let you know if everything goes well.
Never a problem, were you in good hands long before I got here.
Nice Rom, Everythings back to normal and its really cool, Thank you guy's for all the help
Glad we could all help.
Before i end this lol, is there anyway for 4g on cm7?

scroll down to mobile data [3G], then wimax is 4G, select both [and whatever else you want] and then you can toggle it from the notification.

Dears,
after a big battle with my HTC Wildfire S,
i was able to unlock the bootloader than root the phone,
but i'm not able to flash any new rom,
i tried all the below:
1- using the RUU: it stops after checking the signature and give ERROR 155
2- using the rom.zip file (that i copy it from temp folder when RUU is started), the file doesn't open
3- i extracted the rom.zip with 7zip then rezipped, now it's opening but it's not being installed
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted
i tried also to rename the file to PG76IMG.zip but i also got an error...
N.B: i'm using more than one image, and same result with all
i've been working on that for more than 3 days, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help
Do you have CWM installed? If not, install it first (you can find an auto-installer that worked great for me here: http://www.mediafire.com/?b0bsb4ms4lo714b (it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969))
Then boot into your recovery (which would then be CWM), do a backup first, then do a factory reset, wipe your cache, then go into Advanced and wipe your Dalvik cache. Then go back to the menu, select "Install zip from SD card", select the .zip file of the mod you're trying to install and finally install it. Once that's done, reboot, and the mod should be installed.
I hope you were able to follow that. If not, I'll gladly explain further. If you were able to follow this and it worked, then click the Thanks button down below for me please .
EDIT: I forgot to say, before you boot into your recovery, make sure the .zip file is on the root of your SD card and isn't called PG76IMG.zip, else your HBOOT will think it's an update to the HBOOT / Recovery / whatever, try to install it and obviously fail, leaving you with only one option: reboot (into Android).
You maybe use recovery to flash any rom but official rom.
i use rom manager make sure to click delete delvk +cache quick and easy you can even make a nandroid backup on the ui
I think I know what's wrong. The zip you have is extracted from the HTCDEV RUU. Find a RUU from the ROM collection, extract the zip, put it on the root, boot CWM, wipe cache, system, Dalvik, then flash the ROM from the SD card. Taa Daa!

LOL. I watched The Matrix Revolutions last night! And reloaded last week!
Anyway, if you want a stock ROM, follow my instructions, but if you want a custom ROM, follow my instructions again but this time don't use the zip from the stock ROM, use the zip you downloaded. You should probably rename it to update.zip, if it ain't already.
If you want a custom ROM, but want to have one that is mostly stock but has a bit of juice in it, then search for Chocolate & Coffee. I made it. Then when you get fed up, try .sense, or CM7, or something like that!
Extract Rom and grab the boot.img
Make a Full Wipe (Factory Reset,System,Cache,and Davlik Cache)
Install ROM
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
REBOOT
Enjoy!!!
With these instructions *i've never flashed a rom before* I should download the rom, extract the boot.img where I have the fastboot.exe on my computer, do full wipe, put the zip file on my sd card and install in recovery, reboot and go into fastboot mode and flash the image, and then reboot again right? Or am I missing something? Sorry, as I said i've never done this before.
Yeah that's right but flash the kernel (boot.img) first ...because you may get stuck in a bootloop ...so flash kernel first
Ya too bad each step has very specific things you need to do and it takes quite a bit of time sifting through these forums to understand just wtf is going on.
This might help flashing if you've rooted already:

Thanks for your help. I actually went ahead and tried mine first, to see because i'm impatient and it worked totally. Thanks everyone!!!
Ok, I'm having issues with this installing ROMs/kernels.
I entered fastboot
I flashed the boot.img for the kernel I want
I toggled to hboot
I went into recovery (twrp 2.2.0)
I did wipe -> Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System
I installed the zip for ROM I want to use [found here]
I flashed the zip for the kernel I want to use (to install the libs) [found here]
wiped dalvik/cache again
reboot system
Now my phone just bootloops. Not sure what I did wrong.
I should mention I did get it to boot once back when I first installed the ROM because I did a normal reboot not a reboot into fastboot (was doing the install the ROM then the boot.img approach at the time) and hadn't installed any boot.img (still had the stock) but ever since I overwrote it all i get is bootloops.
Also, I even tried the same steps using the boot.img included with the ROM as opposed to the other one.
To make things worse, backups are almost useless because with the phone being S-ON even if the boot.img is being backed up, it not getting restored. A point made extremely obvious by the fact that it still bootloops after restoring my backup.
I am currently running the RUU but am hesitant to try and install any ROMs without some idea of what I did wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
-----EDIT------
Ok, I think the problem was the recovery I used. I installed the CDMA TWRP from the OneV tool, and one linked in the cdma development thread and a couple CWM version found there as well. But what seemed to work was getting TWRP straight from the source. After running the RUU I installed version 2.3.1.0 and repeated the steps using the boot.img included in the ROM and it worked. If I'm feeling adventurous later I'll try my luck with the other kernel lol.
I am wondering what's next after S Off to install Custom Roms, How do I go about doing that?
I am rooted with beaups s-off method.
thank you

Go into the original android development section find twrp touch recovery and follow those instructions there.

Since you are a new user I will help you with a little more depth, I hate seeing new users mess up their device. Give me a second to get it together and I will edit this post with some helpful info.
(EDIT)
OK so Follow the instructions on this page ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431 ) to get a custom recovery. It's TWRP, and I like it a lot. I love that it's touch, because I remember using amon ra on the HTC Evo and you had to use the volume up & down + power button to navigate the menus and it was sometimes very easy to make a mistake. This touch recovery eliminates that.
Next, go to either the original android development OR the android development section of the Verizon HTC One and choose either an AOSP rom or sense based rom. So far I've used the Google Play Edition rom and now I'm on andy's bonestock and have really liked them both. Make sure any rom you ever flash is compatible with your phone, very, very important. if you don't know, just ask. MOST users on here are friendly and will say yes or no and not give you a hard time.
Roms are very easy to install. Just download the .zip, I download it straight from my phone, but you can also download on your computer and then transfer it to your phones storage. (thanks to andybones advice, I have started checking the MD5 of the rom. Devs include it in thread of the info of the rom here on xda, and once you have the .zip on your phone, use a file manager to view the MD5 and compare it to what the dev has put in their thread. If it matches, you're good. Then boot into recovery and DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK AND KEEP IT!! Everything you need to backup is already checked with TWRP so that's helpful. Once you're done with the backup, then do a wipe. I wipe SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, & DALVIK CACHE. Then, go back to the TWRP main screen and select install. Find the .zip you want to install and flash it. Some roms have aroma installer so it will bring you to a special screen that allows you to select options you want to have in the rom. check the boxes of the apps/options you want in the rom and follow the 'next' prompts until the rom installs. After you're done, reboot, set up your new rom and enjoy it!
If anyone more experienced than me has any info to add to this, feel free.
Okay so I am kind of stuck, I have tried on Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac, but I cannot get my device to show up under fastboot command. Why wont it? I rebooted into fastboot from the bootloader.
EDIT: Nevermind fixed, I didn't realize it couldn't be booted into the OS.

Just to make sure I have the steps correct:
1) S-Off the phone
2) Unlock bootloader via htcdev or other methods posted on this forum
3) ???
4) Flash a recovery
5) Flash a rom
Are we supposed to do anything between unlocking and flashing a recovery?

Before flashing any rom, you should make a backup, so that you can revert to a prior iworking state, in case the rom doesn't run or doesn't please you.
Can Someone Sticky This, or Create a Thread to Stick This? Then people can be pointed to it.

just went s-off
I just successfully ran Rumrunner on my HTC One GSM and now I am leery about flashing Roms on my device. I'm currently using Twrp 2.6.3.3, and is wiping SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, & DALVIK CACHE really safe? Cause before I would do a advance wipe for every new install..
And, is there a way to revert back S-on without locking bootloader? Cause every method I've looked up restores to stock..
Thanks in advance!
