Changing from one ROM to another

OK, I searched, and all that I could find were thread posts about the initial rooting process, and installing your first ROM. I just want to confirm the steps that I would take to switch from Myns 2.2 RLS5 (currently running) to Cyanogen 6.1.2. These are just generic steps that I can think of.
1. Perform all backups...Titanium/MyBackup/Nandroid
2. Reboot --> Recovery --> Wipe
3. Install from SD
4. Select .zip file.
5. Enjoy life

That pretty much sums it up. You should look for Calkulin's format all.zip
Heres the file. Just flash it from sd card.

It works better than just Wiping everything.

This post helped me alot when I first started also.

Thank you for all the help!

Also, when you restore your apps from titanium backup, I have heard not to restore with data, just restore the app. Some developers tweak certain apps and restoring app data between ROMs isn't the best idea.
Oh, and if you don't use the format all zip, make sure when you wipe, you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and sd ext if you have a partitioned sd card).

I did a switch from quattro to ice eclipse 2.0, using ext4 recovery. After the switch I seemed to be stuck on the htc boot screen. What should I do?

Isn't ice eclipse 2.0 for the Droid Bionic and not evo 4g?

[Q] Reflash problem after flashing Cyanogen

Hi all !
Yesterday I wanted to try Cyanogen on my Desire, an I did so with a nightly build.
I just wanted to test it : I'm actually so much Sense-addicted ^^"
But, when I tried to flash my regular RCMixS v06, it didn't work, I was stuck on HTC Logo. Then, I tried to flash Modaco's update.zip file wich I used to root my phone, but, again, it didn't work. Now I'm stuck with a "onlyCM" Desire, which is pretty inconvenient :s
I'm asking you this question : what can I do?

Hi,
Did you check to make sure you had a compatible radio version?
Also, I would suggest clear Dalvik Cache and Wipe.
let me know how it goes

Do a full wipe:
Go into recovery - mounts and storage - format boot - format system - format data - format cache - then format sd-ext if you have it then exit that menu and goto advance and do a wipe on Dalvik cache
this is old style full wipe, works for me every time.
Hope you come right.
EDIT: After full wipe install ROm of choice..

Thanks Grobiedeb, it has worked

[Q] help, i cant flash any custom roms

htc desire hd, so,I had gingerbread 2.3.3 and software # 2.50..., i used advance android hack to hack an root the phone, and apparently everything went good up until i installed the custom rom, it went to the htc welcome screen and stayed there for like 30sec and then it restarted again and again by itself, so i stock restart the phone and put the original rom back, then i tried downgrading the rom to froyo 2.2 and software # 1.32...... i hacked it and root it again but after i installed the custom rom it happened exactly the same it just restarts and restarts by itself to the point where i have to take the battery out ,
I"ve got s-off by the way
any help would be much appreciated
thanks in advance

True but I just don't want to give up, custom roms look so nice that I have to find out how to do it, if you find out before me just let me know I'll let you know if I do

try this one. after downgrading, make an ota update then root it again with ace advance hack kit...

hope this helps
i dont have htc desire( i had neo v) . but i faced the same problem once.
try wiping evrything off before installing the rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
Format /system (in mounts and storage)
Format /cache
Format /Data
good luck

did you factoryreset, delete cache, dalvic and battery stats befor you flashed the rom? it sounds like you are bootlooping.

first if your using cmw or rom manager to install from get rid of that CRAP!! If your s-off on stock rom get 4ext recovery installed on phone first. Then try installing custom from with it.
1. Factory wipe
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format partitions (except SD card)
5. Format SD card (optional for total wipe)(Only if you want full fresh install but copy everything on SD to PC so you don't lose important stuff)
6. Mount USB (should only see one folder called 4ext)
7. Move rom to SD card
8. Disconnect USB
9. Install from SD card
10. Choose zip from SD card
11. Flash
12. Reboot
All steps done from 4ext recovery so do not exit recovery till all steps are complete.

<PLEASE HELP> I Can't install any ROM on my Wildfire

Hi, thanks for reading..
I have a htc wildfire phone.
I S-Off-ed it with revolutionary, and also flashed Clockwork 3.0.0.6 on it.
Than I wiped cache (darvik also) and system , and tried to install cym 7 from [install zip from sd card]
as progress goes through, phone freezes or restarts and only green HTC logo appears on the screen, without sound and message (quietly brilliant).
It happens on all rom-s i've tried, nightly ones and cym 6.0 also.
Could you please help me to fix my phone?

Did you do a full wipe?
If you just wipe the cache partitions, the ROM will bootloop.

He means data, dalvik cache and cache. Do those three wipes and reinstall the zip.

Thanks guys for replay.
I wiped data, dalvik cache and cache.
Than reinstalled zip (cym 6.0), the progress bar went nearly complete, than it freezed, rebooted and booted into clockwork directly.
than i clicked on [reboot system now], it rebooted and is freezed on HTC green logo without animation and sound.
Can i do anything else? or can I install htc sense rom again? (note that I had a backup and when I click a restore, it does restore but still freezes in middle process and no effect is given on phone)

Most Sense ROMs will require a 2.5 recovery. (Use the .zip I attached, it'll give you a temporary recovery once you flash it).
I know that Rempuzzle doesn't require 2.5 recovery tho. Have you tried re-installing the CM7 .zip? or re-downloading and re-installing?

Yesterday, I had exactly the same problem like you. The problem was something with the recovery system. I flashed it again and since then, it works.

ok guys,
I've updated clockwork with update.zip, it appeared blue clockwork 2.5, I wiped everything and started installation over. no ROMs worked (cym 7, cym 6, and latest nightly cyms, HCDR.ROM also).
I think downgrading on 2.5 is kind of reflash too. note that when I reboot recovery it is still orange 3.0.0.6 then until I update it again with update1.zip
Still no result, please help if you have any more ideas.

Flash a complete new recovery, for example with the PC49IMG.zip method..

Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 has the blue text.
Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 which you need to flash older roms has green text.
The Orange one is clockwork 3.x.x.x which atm is your main recovery installed in the phone, the update zip gives a temporary recovery which will disappear after rebooting, I'm not quite sure where your going wrong but just try this if you have a cm7 Rom on your SD card.
Power off the phone and then boot into recovery, volume down and power to get hboot and then select recovery, (sorry for the noob instructions, I just want to make sure your doing it correctly) when the Orange clockwork loads up first select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache, after that scroll down to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache from in that menu, then go back and choose install from zip/choose zip find your cm7 Rom and select it after its done its thing reboot from main menu.
Cm7 should install fine from clockwork 3.x+ and then if you want to install an older rom like cm6 open Rom manager flash clockwork 2.5.0.7 (also temporary) and reboot into it then do the same wipes and flash cm6.

Just saying that will probably confuse the guy even more, try explaining what PC49IMG is? Or at least give him a link to where he can find it.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium

guys, I did PC49IMG.zip method too. I mean I wrote this file on sd card and than in fastreboot i clicked volume up (update). it has done everything.
I do cym7 installation exactly with your (nooby) instruction. thing is that when installation process goes, it is not finnishing, its freezing or rebooting phone and then not booting exept green HTC logo.
I think this is unique case in this forum. so no more ideas I guess.

Ahh.... so you're not that much of a noob then, my apologies.
Look here at the second post, try to update clockwork to the latest 5.0.2.0 then try again.

Wildfire major problem!!!

Hey guyss
I am currently using RemPuzzle's latest ROM but the reason why i am posting it here is becoz it has been happening with all the ROMs that I have tried!
The phone works completely fine until the display is turned off for quite some time (put to sleep)! Then when ever I try to open it, it wont! The only way to make it work is by battery pull! I have tried flashing other ROMs but the same problem occurs with them. For now, I have selected in 'Screen Timeout' to 'never turn off'! But still it is very annoying me!
What I do when flashing the ROM: (CWM 5.0.2.0)
Wipe data/cache partition
Wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe boot
Wipe cahe
Wipe data
Wipe system
Flash ROM
Flash gapps (if necessary)
Flash CronMod
Flash CronMod dalvik cache wipe tool
Reboot system
Do tell me if im doing anything wrong!
Thnx in advance!

I think the phone isn't functioning properly, you've done everything right :good:
But my best guess that it's the phone
I've got a few tips, revert back to stock
Flash cwm revolutionary 4.0.1.4 and re install a custom ROM, it's what I've done every time to solve all my issues :good:
If my way doesn't work or solve any issues, then I'll try to give more advice in return, if others would like to aswell
Also if phone still reacts all weird, it's best if you take the phone to someone who can fix it up :good:
In any case i'll try and do my best

Unrooted and rooted again! At first, i thought it had worked but...BAM...it hanged again!
I think I am not rooting correctly...=(
1. I wasnt able to S-ON my device after unrooting so I carried on...=/
2. After doing the revolutionary part, I wasnt able to install Android Bootloader Interface! It kept giving me the error that the hash of the file is missing or something! So I did something else. Now, when I go to cmd and write 'adb devices', it doesnt show my device! Although, when I write 'fastboot devices', it shows my device attached! (weird)
3. I flashed recovery with revolutionary so I reckon that I didnt had to do the unrevoked method...was i wrong??
Help appreciated...=)

Well this will only work if you have the correct ext partition on your sdcard, and I don't think root has anything to do with this. Have you ran an ruu yet? If not run one, if yes which one?

Oh DAMN! I completely forgot about the ext partition! =D
I made the partition long ago via recovery! I dont know what type of ext it is... =/
will removing the ext would solve the problem?
Which ext is the correct ext partition??
