The easy way would be to use ROM manager, open rom manager, do "backup of current rom" first to back up this working rom in case you want to revert after flashing a new rom, next go to "download Rom" and choose a new rom to download (there are only currently three roms offered in rom manager CyanogenMod,Virtuous and CyanogenMod Nightlies but I dont recommend Nightlies for noobs could have lots of bugs) it will ask if you want to install it, remember to select wipe data/cache any time you switch roms, and let it install the rom.
Other wise you will have to download a rom install it to the root of your sd card, open ROM manager, select boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, select install zip from sd, select choose zip from sd, choose the rom zip you installed and apply, when done reboot and finish. Remeber in either case do a backup in rom manager first.

Thank you so much, do you happen to know where i can find a sense 2.2 rom??

Thats Virtuous, its what I use, use rom manager and download Virtuous 0.8.1 full rom and install.
Remember to wipe when changing roms, you don't need to wipe when applying updates.

Anytime you install a fresh rom, it starts fresh, you can use the app titanium backup to make a backup of your apps, and info and reinstall them onto diffrent roms. I would suggest to start reading the diffrent threads in this form and start learning how you use your new rooted phone and all the options you now have. Remember there are some roms and radios you dont want to intall on your phone, like the ones made for the desire z. Also might want to check out gfree for your phone. That will give you radio s-off and a true permroot, but you have to use adb to do this. It will also unlock the carrier and carrier id for the phone(so you can use other carrier sim cards). Here is another video on how to set up adb on your computer and the driver needed for your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Remember dont do anything unless your sure you understand the directions. Keep reading and searching, this is what is gonna help you understand diffrent aspects of modifying your phone, another good resource is youtube, look up videos on how to do diffrent things, have fun.

Basically it does the following:
1) Call erase_image on CACHE, SYSTEM, USERDATA, and BOOT partitions
2) Mount /sd-ext (if it exists) and delete all files from it
3) Delete all files in the /sdcard/.android_secure directory which is where all the froyo apps2sd files live
4) Run e2fsck (file system repair) on the your ext partition
5) Log all output to the /tmp/wipe.log file (if you care)
You will need to power off and reboot back into recovery after running this to install a new rom....as you won't have one on device
If you forget and try to boot normally you will get stuck at splash screen, then you will have to pull battery to power off.

[GUIDE] Installing DZ HBoot and Virtuous Unity 1.31 without adb/PC

So, you've seen those new Sense 3.0 ROMs floating around, but haven't had an opportunity to try them yet? Well, I've developed a simplified method for getting you rolling with Virtuous Unity 1.31. Of course, after you have installed the DZ Hboot, you can install any Sense 3.0 ROM you wish, even though this guide is specifically for Unity.
This guide will show you how to install the DZ Hboot, and the Virtuous Unity ROM, with out using adb or a computer. The entire process is done on the phone.
First, let me thank the Virtuous dev team responsible for this gem of a ROM. Excellent work, and we tip our hats.
Now, this installation requires the following:
A rooted G2 with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4.
Two MicroSD cards.
Optional: WiFi access, Tapatalk and Opera Mobile, installed internally. Opera makes downloading the required files much more reliable, and it can be easier using TT to browse this page.
The first thing you should do is stop by www.VirtuousRom.com, and check things out there. The Unity ROM and the OC frequency patch come from their website, and I firmly believe in giving credit where it is due.
Once you are ready to begin, download Unity 1.31 from this link, preferably via WiFi. This beast is about 400MBs, so be you may not want to deal with cellular speeds. You can also find this ROM on RomManager, if you prefer, under the Virtuous tab.
http://www.multiupload.com/TS4IAWJVMZ
Once that has finished, you should download the OC Frequency patch. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have it already downloaded if it is needed.
http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip
You will also want to download a good radio to use, since the DZ Hboot will overwrite your current radio. This is the most current compatible radio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r1tal256p11uzyz
Once you have finished downloading these files, use a file manager (ES File Manager or Astro, etc) to check the SDCard root (/sdcard/) to make sure there is no file named PC10IMG.zip located there. I'll explain why shortly. After you have confirmed this, shut off your phone, remove the battery, remove the SDCard, and insert the second card. Replace the battery, and reboot.
After the phone is running again, you need to download this file: http://db.tt/z3nb1hhN If the link stops working, please PM me so I can upload the file to an alternative service, as this is from my personal Dropbox.
When the download finishes, use a file manager, and find /download/DZHboot_PC10IMG.zip. Copy/paste it to the root of your SDCard, and then rename it PC10IMG.zip.
A quick word about PC10IMG.zip: this file, when present on the root of your SDCard, will automatically be read by your bootloader. We want this to update your HBoot. However, the reason we DO NOT want a PC10IMG on the first card is because this file also prevents the bootloader from being able to enter recovery. This is why this method requires two cards. One to flash the HBoot, and one to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Once the HBoot flashes, it will wipe your phone, so you must have a ROM or backup to get it working again.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. If you have 3/4 way reboot, simply hold the power button while the phone is on, select reboot/restart, and select bootloader. If you do not have this feature, shut the phone off, then hold volume down+camera key, then press power. The bootloader will scan for updates, and will then prompt you if you wish to apply the update. Press volume up to accept this prompt. Do not turn the phone off or remove the battery while this process is engaged! When it is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the phone. Do so. You will notice that your phone is "stuck" at the white HTC bootsplash, even if you have flashed a different splash image. This is normal.
Remove the battery. Remove the SDCard, and insert the first card. Boot into the bootloader, and then volume-down to recovery, and press power. While the phone has technically been "wiped", there is the possibility of remaining bits of info in the memory, so it is good practice to perform a complete wipe. Scroll down to "mounts and storage", and select the following options: "format /cache, format /data, and format /system." DO NOT format /sdcard!!!
Now press the back key to return to the main screen, and select "install a .zip from SDCard". You can find Virtuous Unity in the /download folder if you downloaded from your web browser, or /clockworkmod/downloads/ if you used RomManager. Select the Unity zip file, and install it. Once this is done, press the back key to the main menu, select "reboot device".
Once the G2 has started up, you may experience lockups. This is a known bug with the G2 related to overclocking. If it happens, reboot into bootloader, enter the recovery, and flash /download/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip. This should fix the problem!
Last step: open a file manager, and find the radio file you downloaded earlier. It should be in /download, and is a .zip named Vision Radio 12.56.60.25 26.10.04.03 PC10IMG.zip. Copy/Paste to the root of your SDCard (which we can do now that the phone is working again!) And then rename it PC10IMG.zip Reboot one last time into bootloader, and again press volume up to accept the update. When it is done, reboot the phone as prompted. Delete the PC10IMG.zip files from the root of each SDCard, and you are done! Enjoy!
Hope you find this helpful!
EDIT: Updated the DB link to the Hboot.
EDIT AGAIN: Yet another replacement DB link for the HBoot. I have a friend who has offered to host this file on his own server, I just haven't gotten the chance to upload it yet. I'll be replacing this link with a permanent one soon.

Isn't this guide for the G2 only? Might be a good idea to mention that before DZ users needlessly starting to flash the hboot.

Hey, I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
I just ran across something. I tried flashing the PC10IMG, but someone told me it should reboot twice and I should have the stock splash screen. Didn't go that way... Looks like only the Bootloader changed, and I can now flash the Virtuous Unity ROMS so yea. First of all does anyone know what's wrong?
Also I'm just guessing that the flashing process was interrupted before it could get to the splash and radio partitions or something, and I need to reflash HBOOT, Could flashing the same Hboot brick your device?
Thanks in advance!

Same Question here i want to play with Sense but how i go back to the G2 bootloader?

Does the dz hboot effect performance (aosp)? When more memory is added to the rom memory does it effect your ram? And does the dz hboot effect tmobile in any way? I want to run the new sense roms but not at a lose of performance to any other roms..thank you. Oh and thanks button pressed, I read other posts and this guide is very easy to understand and user friendly.

There will be no lose in performance your total RAM will not be affected. The only difference is that your data partiton (were market apps go) will be smaller and the system partiton (where the Rom goes) will be bigger.
It won't affect the way your device works, things like WiFi calling will still work.

If I have do a backup through clockwork recovery and then switch to the DZ hboot, will I be able to restore that backup that I made on the G2 hboot?

Great guide, will eventually do it because I also want to try those sweet sense 3.0 roms out there, without the use of adb.
But with the dzhboot will I be able to flash cm7 back again, or the sense 2.X roms?

...don't know about the internal memory - i'm running virtuous affinity with some apps installed and i have about 800 mb free.
Cpu frequencies: every device is different, so you have to find out, at what stage your phone starts freezing... Do this by temp oc. My phone freezes if i go higher then 1,2 ghz (unity v10) - with a different kernel (i used rcmix kernel) i can go much higher without freezing...
But my experience is that if you oc to much the phone gets laggy

no you will not loose your data... 4ext recovery has the option to change the filesystem without loosing data (it does make a backup of your system & data)
if you switch to another rom you will not loose your swap partition, but you have to reactivate it again using the script... (chmod & sh again) & the kernel needs to support swap

what do you mean? system, data & cache is not part of the sdcard... its located on your internal storage and if you convert with backup the 4ext recovery does everything by itself
ah yeah one thing: don´t use the normal superwipe anymore, because it changes your system files to ext3 again. look for superwipe+ext4, this one leaves your filesystem ext4

yes but whats the partition for!!

hi partitioned my sd card so no probs there, ive been searching for that exactly i do with the partition now ive got it lol,
in titanium backup i can see theres stuff on the new partition but ive no clue whats on there, so whats it for & how do i put things on it & what things? but most of all why did i make it in the first place?? lol

you're supposed to research this stuff before you do it...
i also hope that you've used either gparted or 4ext recovery to parition (not minitool...)
basically the partition is generally for apps. it's better than normal android 'move to SD' because you can move all of the app, and can move widgets too. you can also move dalvik cache to sd as well depending on the script.
this all depends on what rom your are using and what built in script (if any) it uses to move bits around.
further reading here, i'd recommend reading through more of those guides just for more general learning...
titanium backup will show that the partition is filling up. better apps like 'diskusage' will show you how all your partitions are being used.

i did try to find out as much as i could & the reson i did it before knowing why is cos i want to know i can do it more than anything else all i knew was everyone else is doin it so i needed to know how lol
thanks for the link i'll enjoy reading it
i used rom manager to do it hope i used the right one cos everone else seemed to be useing it

Yh, dont use rom manager (cwm) to partition ur sdcard, it makes bad partitions. Like eddie says, use gparted or download http://4ext.net/ updater app then install 4ext recovery and use that to partition sdcard.
Dont forget backup first

installing 4ext recovery will remove clockworkmod
uninstall rom manager like you would any other app if you haven't already. you don't need it, and can cause real problems if you use it with this phone.

Its easy. Click the 4ext recovery updater app in my sig, install it then open the app and flash 4ext recovery, simples. Then goto settings/ applications and uninstall rom manager

Download the app on ur phone and install it, in ur app drawer press 4ext recovery updater and then flash recovery from the menu. I really dont know what else to tell u, u could flash it via fastboot commands (recovery.img) but i feel that would prob take us a week lol

yh nandroid backup and save on computer also anything else u want to save. then depending on what rom ur going to install, partition ur sdcard to what ever the rom requires. so once u know that, boot into recovery go to tools/partition sdcard/ remove all partitions and start from scratch.
then ul have to choose size, normally most requirements would be this setup
1024 (1gb)
skip
skip
then choose ext4 and ur done.
just dont go bigger than 1.5gb ext4 (1524)
check ron requirments first tho
