Hi All,
I have a HTC Wildfire A510e and I would like to install a different ROM (Signed one) on it.
Since I am installing a Signed ROM, i assume that S-OFF won't be necessary.
Now, before installing my new ROM, i would like to wipe my phone clean. As if starting with a clean slate. Please let me know how shall i go about doing this.
Thanks for your help and guidance.
Regards,
Guddu

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If you are installing a newer version of the same ROM (i.e. going from Android RevolutionHD 12.0.09 to Android RevolutionHD 12.0.13), I would think it fine to just place the new ROM zip file on your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...
hi, i'm just new to the forum... greetings for the good stuff i found here
i've got a desire z unbranded (no carrier logos or similar) just permrooted with the help of xda wiki... now i'm stuck with some doubts
according to sw informations on my phone i got radio version 26.03.02.26_M, is it ok for installing a rome like virtuoso or is it better to update my radio?
if radio is ok i don't know what i have to do to install a rom (just have to put in the sd card and run rom manager??) and all my datas in the phone memory will be deleted installing a rom?
i have many files in my sd-card after rooting (superuser.apk etc...) can i delete the files pushed with adb or i will do something bad?
thanks in advice and sorry for my bad english
First welcome to the forums.
You don't need to flash a new radio, although if you find you're getting very poor reception you might want to consider it.
To flash a rom you need to download the rom.zip file, and put it on your sdcard.
You can then either use Rom Manager to flash the rom, or reboot into recovery and do it.
You should do a backup of your current rom first, in case anything goes wrong.
And wipe data/factory reset and cache when flashing different roms.

Tnx for your help what app i can use for making backups? The one in rom manager is enough?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes Rom Manager is enough, or you can reboot into recovery and select backup from there.

Thanks again i'll try soon

i have HTC wildfire. using CyanogenMOD 7 for past 2 months. want to install Splash ROM now. i have some queries & want to be sure before doing anything.
1. do i need to remove CyanogenMOD completely before i install other ROM ?
2. if i unROOT my phone again will i be able to re-ROOT it ?
3. if i just flash another ROM from ClockworkMOD Recovery, will it be installed properly ?
please guide me.
Depends the rom you want to install, some roms require you wipe first, so check the rom installation requirement for any specific one you want to install.

Could not find or just can't be bothered to look? there are plenty of guides on xda and hundreds if not thousands if you search google for a guide on how to flash a Rom!!
Basically if your flashing a gb Rom over a sense Rom a full wipe is needed.
However if the 2 roms are from the same base i.e cm7 and a cm7 rip-off chances are you might get away without wiping anything, do a backup first if it doesn't work without wiping anything, just wipe cache and dalvik cache but leave data alone. If that still doesn't work try again with a full wipe.
As for the guide its pretty simple, backup wipe then install from zip.

ofcourse i do know how to flash a ROM !!
that's how i installed CM7 !!
thanks for answering my 1st query
i would give it a try now.
Q2. If you unroot it you can reroot it again afterwards but I don't see any point unrooting.
Q.3 is basically the same answer as Q.1.
Hey guys,
I've currently got a HTC One X that is stuck in the bootloader. I have got Clockworks Flash Recovery 5.8.4.0 installed but haven't got any rom working. I was using Cyanogenmod until my screen started flickering and eventually it was unbearable so I tried to upgrade it. The newer version didn't support the older hboot (1.12) and therefore the update failed. I tried installing other roms from the forum but had no luck with any of them.
The steps i've been taking are basically flash the boot.img, wipe data/factory reset, install the zip, wipe the data/factory reset and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone but after all of these steps I end up stuck with a bootscreen of the rom i'm trying to install. I have followed tutorials word by word and I am still stuck on the bootloader. I'm really in a dead end here as I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to HTC, any help would be appreciated as all I want is my phone to be working!
Not sure if it's useful but..
S-ON
HBOOT-1.12.0000
RADIO-1.1204.90.13H
and the CID is H3G_001
Thanks,

If you make a factory reset after installing the custom rom in the recovery you actually wiped it again. Only perform a full wipe before the rom. Don't wipe anything after ......
Ow and you can't install any sense based JB roms. You need to update the hboot first
..
Thanks for the fast reply,
I've looked all over the forum and they all seem to be JB with Sense of some sort? Hate to be lazy but i've tried searching and can't find anything that would be compatible, would you be able to link me a rom that should work as i've got no clue.
Thanks,
Luke
Why don't you update the hboot and flash anything you like
This is a very useful thread for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
It has everything you need to update the hboot :thumbup:

Will take a look and let you know how I get off, Thank you!

Problem is fixed after a whole day of trying. Got there in the end with a little assistance.
Thanks for your help

Good !
CASE CLOSED !
Hey guys,
So I was trying to install a custom rom for the HTC One X. But for some reason it didn't want to flash and I've already deleted the old one (clean to install a new rom). Now every time I reboot it will take me back to the recovery menu.
Can someone please help me this?
