I rooted from stock from 2.3 and want to know if its safe to download and flash a ROM from Rom Manager. I just want to make sure I won't get a conflicting error.
Should I flash a ROM that's based on the official 2.3 img?

I'm not too familiar with the 2.3 process since I've been rooted since 2.2 but I would say that you're fine using ROM manager while on stock. You can either use amon_ra(my personal use) or clockwork (rom manager) many have reported issues with ROM manager so i would recommend amon ra recovery for flashing Roms. Just make sure you have the proper .zip file and wipe wipe wipe. You shouldn't have any problems

From Everything i read it is easier to flash using Rom manager because it does all the work for you. I am using RA recovery, because i read so many posts where people had problem with flashing certain Roms with Clockwork. Don't flash any Rom that has Godmode with Clockwork recovery. I have read you can't do it, but not sure. People told me i should start flashing with Rom manager first. I am flashing Koni's ELITE Series 3 Rom right now as my first Rom using RA.
Not really sure what your asking here. I have 2.3.3 and I flash ROM just fine. I just place the ROM on my sd card and use Ra Recovery cause it will flash everything. I was using ClockWorkMod and came across it not flashing alot of stuff so just save yourself the trouble and get Ra Recovery it also wipe everything compare to the CWM where I had some issues.
Does anyone know if Format All.zip works with official 2.3 on Evo? Trying to flash Koni's Elite Series 3 & it says to flash Format ALL.zip then flash rom. Just want to be sure. Thanks

CMW 3 is only for Gingerbread ROMs. If you want to try Virtuous, make a Nandroid backup of CM7, flash CWM 2 and then flash Virtuous. If you decide to go back to your CM7 backup, you'll need to flash CWM 3 back again before restoring the backup.
The problem lies in Froyo and Gingerbread using a different file system.

I'm assuming you have ROM Manager installed (if not, grab it from the Market) and you can install it from there easily at the bottom ("All ClockworkMOD Recoveries")

not disagreeing with Gabriel, but I was able to switch from CM7 nightly 30 running CWM 3.x to Virtuous 0.9.5 without downgrading CWM back to 2.x
obviously, you need to perform a full wipe beforehand.. but it went just swimmingly for me.
give it a shot and see if it works. create a backup beforehand and if it doesn't seem to work, restore your backup, go into CM7 like you normally would, and go to ROM Manager app.. from here, you can restore CWM 2.x by pressing "flash CWM recovery" (I think that's the option - it's the first option in ROM Manager) - it should display 2.5.x.x or whatever version you had installed prior to changing the recovery image to 3.x...reboot into recovery and you should have your green text back and you'll be good to go!

I'm not saying you can't but, you will run the high risk of breaking things. Froyo and Gingerbread use different filesystems, hence the two different versions of CWM

I have looked across this forum and two other forums and have not found an answer which will satisfy me.
I have successfully rooted and flashed different ROMs many times, so the whole process is not anything I don't understand.
I can successfully flash any of the Cyanogens, Incredibly Re-engineered, Redemption, and SkyRaider ROMs.
I CAN NOT flash but ONE ROM with 'Z' in the title and that is Incredibly Re-engineered Z. Every other ROM such as Super Z, Warm Z 2.2, IncDoes, Uber Z
My DInc will just sit at the HTC Incredible white screen when I reboot after a successful load via clockworkmod.
I have left it sitting for 30 minutes plus while sitting at work. Nothing. Only choice I have is to restore from backup to a working ROM.
Any suggestions?
The ROM's you quoted are mostly using ClockWorkMod Recovery version 3 for the install. If you are on CWM version 2 the result you are getting is kind of expected. The v3 scripts are not compatible with v2 but v2 does not know any better so tries to install it.
Go into ROM Manager and see what recovery you are on and use RM to install CWM v 3.0.0.7
I would then try installing the ROM with RM selecting the wipe option
SIDE NOTE: If you are on CWM v3 and you try to install a v2 based ROM CWM will tell you that it is outdated
That is what I saw on other sites, but I have the latest version of clockworkmod v3.0.0.8 and have flashed the ROMs successfully with it, but they just wont go past the HTC Incredible white screen. The ones that gave me script errors, I have flashed down to clockworkmod v2.5.1.7 or whichever i seen in the OP of that ROM
I just do not understand it. =( ... I dont wanna be limited
Sounds like it could be related to you not having a Samsung Fascinate. I'd try to get a Samsung Fascinate and then you might have better luck.
Get back to work.

You probably did not catch my recommendation to use 3.0.0.7. 3.0.0.8 has known problems with not clearing everything.
In ROM Manager at the bottom install CWM 3.0.0.7 and try flashing the ROM from the SD Card with ROM Manager and select the wipe option.

I might have to try this too as I'm having troubles installing roms and sticking in boot loop ..
If I change to CWM 3.0.0.7 from my current 3.0.0.8, will my previous backups on 3.0.0.8 still be useable through 3.0.0.7?
Thanks!

Yes your backups will work
I will give that a try. I currently have only two flashable files for clockworkmod ... v3.0.0.8 and v2.5.1.2
I'll try and find the previous versions of clockworkmod, nandroid backup my working ROM, wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and try this one more again.

Very smoooth
After you root and install ROM manager, how do you flash the ROMS. i mean i know the steps but i must be doing something wrong. Here is what I'm doing.
i have a mesmerize by the way.
1. Open Rom Manager
2. Install ROM from SD Card
Do i need to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery first?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated ...i might even name my first born after you.
and if you can tell be where i can get custom battery, and Wifi ROMS for the mesmerize i may even name my second after you also.
Yes, you will need a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM. CWM or Amon_Ra flashed through Rom Manager will do the trick. Once you have the recovery sorted you can/should do a backup of your current setup. Again, this can be done from Rom Manager.
Now you can move on to flashing a custom ROM.
I'm having a problem getting the Roms installed, cwm says something about edifying. i have cwm 3.0.0.8. i went back and downgraded my ROM manager to 2.5.0.7 but my cwm is still 3.0.0.8.

There is a section in Rom Manager with older versions of CWM. It's that you want, not an older version of RM.
it would probably be easier to boot into recovery and install your custom rom from there. The method to get into recovery is different for each phone though.
Remember to wipe before installing a custom rom tho.

I've looked for the older versions of CWM in RM but cant seem to find them. What are they under? Sorry if I'm being a bother.
i am on a rooted froyo and want to flash the stock rooted gb on. just a normal flash using cwm? i need to data/cache/dalvic wipe too i assume.
thanks
just need some assurance before i hit the button
yup...same way you would flash any other new ROM. wipe data/cache/dalvik and then flash the ROM.
i would suggest using Amon_RA recovery vs CWM. i find it better to use (also have never had problems with it....as opposed to CWM)
if you wanna try it out, heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
if you dont have any problems with CWM...then stick with it. why fix it if it ain't broke, right?
Also i would recommended doing a superwipe along with the others. Its a zip you flash and cleans out everything. You flash it same as a rom.

Hello all,
I'm a new user to HTC phones. I just purchased a rooted Desire HD that currently has a flavour of Jellybean installed which is some kind of CM10.
I don't really like the rom, I prefer the stock feel with Sense.
I have root and flash experience with other phones, using cwm etc. However I appreciate there can be issues when flashing from Jellybean to Gingerbread for example. Some phones lock bootloaders, have different basebands etc.
So my question, would be an easy transition from my current CM10 to a gingerbread rom such as Android Revolution? Is there anything I should be aware of or is easy as flashing the new rom after a full wipe of course?
Thanks.

Many thanks for the help.
Would I be right in thinking, most DHD roms can be flashed with either cwm recovery or 4ext recovery, or any recovery image for the DHD?

You can install the recovery system with the installed cwm. There is an option in this app. Then simple save the rom zip e.g. for Android Revolution HD on you sd card and boot in the recovery system. Then you can select this zip on you sd card for installing rom after full wipe. For me this is the best way to install a new rom. Do not forget to make a backup with the installed recovery system. If your phone rooted you can use titanium backup to save all apps and data.

cwm using the recovery system too to flash custom roms. You can browse in cwm for various roms but it contains not all available and existing roms. Its the decision of the developers to integrate his rom in the rom manager. Here you can find the stuff which can download via cwm directly.
Thanks for that. I was meaning the cwm recovery not the cwm rom manager. Sorry for the confusion. I meant if my phone has cwm recovery (by Koush) I can use this recovery for flashing dhd roms or would I be better flashing a different recovery?
I have never flash a custom rom on a HTC phone before. I usually use cwm recovery on other android phones to flash a rom, create backups etc.

CWM recovery is just fine, thou 4EXT is a much better recovery. Of course that is up to you, but both recoveries will work in your DHD.
