Do I need to redo all the things I did for my original Root, or just install the new ROM over the top?
- Is necassary to mak along story again like what i do on first Root or just install it ?

Hi Albalaji,
In answer to your question:
You have two options.
If you are installing a newer version of the same ROM (i.e. going from Android RevolutionHD 12.0.09 to Android RevolutionHD 12.0.13), I would think it fine to just place the new ROM zip file on your device, and using ClockworkMod Recovery, install-from-zip over the top of your current ROM. You can "format Data" in between to be safe.
Reason is, the new ROM will most likely alter the exact same files and keep things in a similar file structure.
However, if you're installing a completely different ROM, e.g. going from Android RevolutionHD to LeeDroid, I would recommend reverting back to Stock PD98IMG.zip. Safer this way, in case there is conflicts. You won't have to redo the Visionary, Radio S-Off or Eng S-Off processes though - once these are done, they are done for good.
Hope this helps!!

thanks alot ..
that What i meant..
Pls for Second paragraph.. if i have different Rom,Can u explain to me all steps if u don't mind
and again thanks ..

Woah man, there is absolutely no advantage in returning to stock inbetween roms, its just a waste of time, all you need is to do a full wipe.....

Copy the new rom to the root of your sd card, put the card in your phone and boot into recovery, go to the mounts and storage menu and wipe every partition apart from.sd card, go back, go to install .zip from sd card, choose your new rom and flash it

you mean, including boot and sd-ext. I never wiped these partitions...
and by the way, i can see a point in flash the stock again, cause somehow is the only way to be sure that everything was formated, you get unroot, stock splash image etc...

Unrevoked my desire what next

So far so good, but that's where I'm stalled, all I seem to read are other either bricking their phone or using ROM manager and things not going right, I would like to.use cyanogenmod 7 with an easy to do explanation to get 2.3

1. Nandroid backup
2. Update your radio! New radio from HTC 2.2+ roms is required (Desire Radio Thread).
3. Partition your SD Card - FAT32 + 512Mb Ext3/4. (if you want A2SD)
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition).
5. Flash the ROM. (do not restart yet)
6. Flash the Google Addon . (now you ready to go)
Optionally S-OFF and flash CM7 HBOOT, more space for apps on internal memory and overally faster.

Hello, what are you running at the moment... Froyo (Android 2.2)? Also what radio are you using? Check "baseband" in the About Phone section in Settings. Read through the forum topic to see what radio is recommended as well.
You may want to partition your SDCard so you can install more apps, or go S-OFF to make even more space etc (more chance of bricking).
Whatever you do theres a chance of bricking your phone, but follow what I'm about to put and you won't go far wrong.
1. Download the ROM
2. Reboot in to custom recovery (ROM Manager)
3. Go to Backup and Backup your ROM you're running now (this is called a "Nandriod")
4. Put the CM7 ROM on to you SDCard if you haven't done already
5. Factory Reset (in your custom recovery)
6. Install Zip from SDCard
7. Wait until its finished, then reboot.
8. You should be running CM7!
Hope this helps!
Oh and next time? Use the search function on this forum first. Theres a nice Sticky Topic in the "Desire Android Development" section which has a nice tutorial to do with flashing your phone.

(EDIT: Too late )

Thanks at the moment running 2.2 but did that last year with goldcard mate did it for me , baseband
32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27 don't know how to check radio, that's only trouble I don't want to brick it so hope your advice is sound and easy to follow, many thanks ps I have looked in different forums everybody seems to have a different way of doing things and there's so many to look at, hope this works ta

Nop, you can flash custom roms without needing s-off.

What would happen if i do factory reset in the Settings menu? -
Your phone will be reset to factory settings lol

Thanks for your replies.
I'm on custom rom now. If i choose factory reset, will it come back to stock room unrooted? Or it just comes back to initial settings of the new rooted rom?

If you look at the thread I linked he talks about unrooting (which is different from factory reset).

[q] help g2 not flashing and roms or backups

Hello! I need help on my G2 that doesnt want to flash any roms at all. When i go into Rom Manager and download a rom and go install it, it finish and it boots up but it just stays on the first HTC logo. I leave it there for more then ten minutes relizing the in messed up. So i have to go back into recovery(manualy) and wipe all data and cache and then i flash the Virtuous Rom(because i downloaded it to the sdcard) and it boots up. Also when i try to flash the mods to the rom and it also fail and i have to do the same procedure again and again everytime i try to flash a rom or backup. What should i do? Oh i also have S-OFF if that helps.

have you tried manually downloading and flashing another ROM through recovery?
Also, are you doing full wipes when trying to flash the new ROMs?

No i havent tried from a diferrent recovery but i will. Also i have benn doing full wipes and cache wipes.

Not a different recovery..the same way you flashed that rom is the same way you can flash others..if you downloaded rom through rom manager you can find it in that folder which is on your sd card called clockworkmod

I downloaded it from a youtube video and manually flashed them. But the problem is i already looked for a rom and i kinda dont want to trust people who post roms because my mytouch 3g got bricked becuase of the that. And i cant any roms i looked everywhere even on my best friend(google).

Sorry not even paying attention but thanks i will try that.

Not a different recovery. Just make sure that your CWM recovery is the latest version. Download a ROM of your choice from the Dev section via your computer, transfer to your SDcard, and flash manually from your phone (not using ROM manager). Do a cache/dalvik cache/full data wipe. Then flash the ROM and reboot.
ROM manager can often have issues with bad downloads that lead to bad flashes. Flashing manually can be a way to troubleshoot and take a potential bad step out of the equation.

You can download roms from dev section from your device as well.
As far as the op..what do you mean you downloaded from a youtube video and you don't trust people who past roms? If you don't trust people don't mess with it. The devs here aren't going to brick you phone..that's a mistake on your end or you not paying attention to what you were flashing

Correct me if I'm wrong but if i remember correctly it is extremely difficult to brick ones phone. The worst possible thing that could happen is if your phone some how died during a flash half way through. You can easily boot into bootloader, enter recovery and attempt to do it again.
With CWM you can mount the sd card in the mounts and storage settings so if you forgot or somehow deleted the Rom Zip from your card you can easily and safely access your card using CWM

i'm having the same issue
i have the phone rooted, s-off, and hboot installed
i'll boot into rom manager, wipe the data/cache, install the rom i want, reboot device... i get the white htc screen for about 5 seconds and then the phone restarts.
when it restarts, i get the white htc screen and then it boots into rom manager
what could be causing this? i had my previous g2 rooted and never had these issues when i was flashing roms

miui problem

Hey,
I recently downloaded and installed (tried) the miui gingerbread for my htc desire. my problem is that i followed a tutorial from a really bad forum (that i only realized later), because i'm not an expert on doing this kind of stuff, and I downloaded the rom from my pc, transfered it by usb cable and install it through rom manager.
My problem is that now, when i start the phone, it only appears a blinking Apple logo, nothing else.
Could the reason be the low battery (i checked it before doing the process, and it was +/- 30%) or did **** just got seriously bad?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english

Boot into recovery and flash a different rom or even reflash same rom, worth a shot, did you make any backups? If so restore a backup

Rom manager strikes again.
Post ur hboot\bootloader info, that would be a good place to start.
Sent from my HTC Desire

1. make sure the rom match your desire hboot.
2, full wipe before u flash this rom.
3, if the rom can choose launch,the stock is best.

+1, and get rid of rom manager, it's not recommended with htc desire. Better to flash from recovery (4ext or clockworkmod).

[Q] Recovery and Rom Install Problems

Help, I will describe the following and any help I would love. I have the PRIMOC VM usa HTC ONE V.
Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit I have successfully Unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP recover 2.4.4, got root, and made a backup.
I then continue on to wipe cache and system and Factory reset to prepare to install ANY ROM. When I try to install the rom every time it just says Error in /sdcard/...[wherever rom is] (Status 1) FAILED
So then I proceed to restore my backup (this is why you always make a backup) and that works fine
Does the "(Status 1)" mean anything important?
I thought this was happening because I was running the newer radio so I used the RUU tool and now am using the good radio (not 0928) But this did not fix anything. This same thing happens over again. I have checked to make sure and I do have full root privileges.
I then tried to flash boot.img first and jmz kernel flashed successfully, but no rom will flash.
Why will NO ROM install?
I feel like I am missing something obvious but can't figure it out.
Also, whenever I do the factory restore it goes through all the process then fails when trying to wipe sd:ext , but my card is not partitioned. <I didn't know if that would be any help>
I am not a complete newb at all of this (running lg optimus for years- just new to the htc methods)

NEED Help please...
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have not made any progress since yesterday. I am successful at flashing kernels, I have flashed the boot.img of the sic kernel, but on both kernels I have no WiFi with the stock ROM.
So I either need to find the stock boot.img or have help flashing a ROM that fails everytime.
When every instruction says "Extract ROM" that is only to pull out the boot.img right, we don't flash an extracted package you flash exactly what you downloaded right?

Hi Obeezy562,
my advice is to use the recovery program CMW or TWRP to re-format your external SD card. Then follow the normal instrutions and install the rom from zip using your recovery program. If you still have the same issue just let me know and I'll ponder longer.
regards

Ok, so tonight I will reformat my sdcard with TWRP then try to install the ROM. I tried the CWM recovery, but it was not touch based and did not respond to the power button as the OK, only the volume rocker worked.
I will try CWM recovery if someone can provide a link to the latest one, perhaps I was using an old one.

Twrp 2.4.4 I've also had issues with flashing some roms then downgraded to Twrp 2.2.0 and everything has been well since

I can add that twrp 2.4 does have some issues. I use a cwm I found on google somewhere and if works just fine.
