Hi,
Once you have chosen which rom and radio you want. You need to transfer them to your Sim card in the sdcard/ root directory.
Once that is done, turn off your phone, and turn on while holding down " Vol down" and power.
You will then get into the fastboot screen.
Here you use the vol up and down to select recovery and the power button to select.
Once recover boots us you use the optical pad to control and select.
Here you choose install from ZIP
Then you choose the Rom you previously copied onto your SD and run, after the rom has finished installing, then do the radio.
After you hav finished reboot the phone, but reboot into recovery and and select Wipe.. after wipe has finished. Reboot and your ready to go.
Any Questions?

Whats the worst there can happen if you miss a step or reboot in normal mode... So what is the worst case scenario apart of failed hardware during this procedure.

flashing a rom is the same as flashing a radio or a kernel
the recovery will tell the difference
install it like you would a rom
note that a radio takes a long time to boot for the first time, it will reboot several times by itself taking about a minute, DO NOT touch the phone or you might brick it.
put any ROM/radio/kernel on your sdcard
go into recovery or use rom manager
install zip from sdcard
done.

Good advice, I panicked the first time I flashed a radio.. I thought I had killed the device.

[GUIDE] Remove permanent root

** I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR STUPIDITY**
This guide will follow the steps needed to remove permanent root and bring your device back to 100% stock
Here are the following files we will need to download please grab the files needed below and place them on the root of your sdcard
1-a) Stock PRE-OTA Rom rooted:
Stock PRE-OTA Rom
or
1-b) Download the attached HexEditor on the thread
2.) Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel:
Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel
(rename this to PC10IMG.ZIP)
3.) T-Mobile OTA Update - Build # 1.22.531.8:
T-Mobile OTA Update
(rename this to update.zip)
Procedure:
Step 1.) Flash Stock Rooted PRE-OTA Rom via ClockWorkMod
Open up RomManger via the Android Launcher and select "Install ROM from SD Card" and select the "stock_root.zip" on the root of the sdcard and select the option to "Wipe Data and Cache" and hit ok. Once rom is flashed it will reboot automatically and bring you back to the os.
**IMPORTANT**
If the flash has failed you must reboot back into the OS and use HexEditor which i have attached to the thread. DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THIS!!
Open up an ADB Shell and run the following command:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img
this will then export the misc.img file we need to edit to the root of the sdcard.
Mount your sdcard and save the misc.img file to your PC and Open the file with HexEditor.
You should now see the version number on the right hand side of the application and it should read "1.22.531.8" YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO "1.19.531.1" you can now save the file as miscnew.img and place it on the root of your sdcard and then unmount the sdcard from windows.
Now go back to your ADB Shell and run the following command
dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
you can now make sure you have copied the PC10IMG.zip file to the root of your SDCARD and power off your phone and proceed to step 2.
*All Credit goes to Apache14 for this method which is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398
Step 2.) Restore factory BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, KERNEL, ROM (THIS RE-ENABLES S-ON)
Place the factory firmware you downloaded in step 2 above on the root of your sdcard and rename it to PC10IMG.zip one you have done this power off the device and power back on by holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader it will then scan your sdcard and find the file needed, be patient this can take quite a few minutes. After it finishes scanning you will then have to hit the Volume up key on the side of the phone to restore the software. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes. The phone will reboot in the middle of the update to restore S-ON once rebooted it will then scan sdcard again and resume flashing. Once completed you will have to hit Power to reboot and boot back into the factory restored android os.
Step 3.) -OPTIONAL- Apply OTA Update from T-Mobile
Boot back into android and mount your sdcard once again. You will now delete the PC10IMG.zip file we copied previously. Once you have deleted the file copy the file we downloaded in step 3 above to the root of the sdcard and rename it to “update.zip”. You can now power down your device and power back on holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader wait 5-10 for it to finish scanning your sdcard and hit volume down and power to select RECOVERY. Once in recovery mode you must now hold volume up and power on your G2. You will now hit volume down and power to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" It will then scan your sdcard verify the update.zip file we placed on the root of the sdcard and proceed to install. You will then have to hit power once more to reboot when indicated on the device. This will now take approximately another 5 minutes and the phone will reboot 2 times automatically do not touch until you are booted automatically back into android.
You are now 100% Back to stock with S-ON, Factory ROM, and Factory Recovery.

Thank you for posting this.

Just one question: will this wipe my apps and content? I suspect it will; I just want to confirm it.

Yes. It will wipe. Make a back up of your data and restore it after. This can be done via titanium backup
[G2/HTC Vision]

I ran Visionary and everything seem to be working ok until I rebooted my G2. Now When I ran Visionary it says that the phone is already rooted, but when I use terminal emulator or adb to root is says suermission denied. When I try to Flash Stock Rooted PRE-OTA Rom via ClockWorkMod I get this error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands". Also when I try to Restore factory BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, KERNEL, ROM I do exactly as you said and I'm getting a no image found. I would appreciate any help you could provide.

If all you need is root go to rom manager and click on download rom and under extras download superuser e/f then install the zip this flash the superuser.apk you are missing

CM6 Bootloader Loop Error! EVO 4G

I Have An Evo 4G, Rooted With UnrEVOked Forever. Used Rom Manager to Install Clockmod Recovery And To Install Cyanogen Mod 6. Before This, I Put a PC36IMG zip that had Splash1 in it, from the unrevoked site and instead of saying HTC EVO 4G in a bright white screen, its UNREVOKED with bright white screen. it then goes into a cyanogen mod bootloader animation that i got off the market called Boot changer lite or something? and it loops over and over showing either the cyanogen mod title, or it just gets to the cyan dude with a skateboard but freezes. i tried putting different PC36IMG files and using clockmod recovery to push it on sd and load it, but it says
-- Installing: /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing Update...
Installation Aborted.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Flash a stock rooted ROM from http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/ and then using ROM Manager, flash the alternate recovery (Amon_RA Recovery 1.8.0), then download CyanogenMod 6.1.2 ( http://goo-inside.me/cm/supersonic/stable/ ), copy it to the root of your SD card, remove any PC36IMG.zip, boot into recovery, and flash the ZIP from there.

how do i use rom manager when my screen is looping the boot animation over and over? i can flash stock rooted rom using clockwork recovery 3.0.0.2, and flash the recovery amon_RA? im sorry i am a noob and i would ask for step by step, not very detailed but to where i can know what to do first, if you have time?

1) Flash the stock rooted 3.70.651.1 ROM from my link above (here it is again), via ClockworkMod Recovery.
I'm going to assume you have an older phone with the older partition structure. For more information, and to tell what structure you have, check out this thread once you complete Step 1, before you do Step 2. I'm also going to assume you have the Android SDK installed and set up. If you do, just open your Command Prompt, cd to your SDK\platform-tools folder, and run the command "adb shell cat /proc/mtd" (without the quotes). If you see an erase size of 20000, then continue. If you see 40000, STOP and let us know.
DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU HAVE THE NEW PARTITION ERASE SIZE OF 40000!
2) Once you boot up into the ROM, download ROM Manager from the Market, if it's not already included in the ROM. You will of course have to add your Google account in order to access the Market.
3) Open ROM Manager, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Flash Alternate Recovery"
4a) Once it has finished flashing, download CyanogenMod 6.1.2 using your browser at the above link (here's the link again). You'll want the file update-cm-6.1.2-Supersonic-signed.zip.
4b) Also download the attached FORMAT_ALL.zip. This will help ensure you don't have any files from Sense accidentally carry over into CM.
4c) Finally, download the latest HDPI Google Apps package from here (the latest one has a link at the top of the page, and is the gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip file).
5a) If you downloaded via your phone, use a file manager of your choice (I like Root Explorer, but there's free ones like OI File Manager in the Market) to move the three ZIPs from /sdcard/download/ to /sdcard/ (aka, the root of your SD card).
5b) If you downloaded via your computer, attach your phone to your computer via USB, turn on Disk mode, and copy the three ZIP files to the root of your SD card.
6) Power off your phone, then hold down Volume Down and Power to turn it back on. If you're taken to a white screen with skating Androids on the bottom (aka, hboot), then press Volume Down until RECOVERY is highlighted, then press the power button.
7) You should now be at a black screen with yellow text. This is Amon_RA recovery. Press Volume Down until you highlight Backup/Restore, and press Power. Press Volume Down and highly Nand Backup, and press Power again. Press Power one more time to confirm the start of the backup. It'll then take a few minutes to perform the backup (depending on how fast your SD card is).
8) Once it's done, you'll be back at the Backup/Restore menu. Make sure Return is highlighted, then press Power. Press Volume Down until Flash zip from sdcard is highlighted, then press Power to select it. Use Volume Down to highlight FORMAT_ALL.zip and press Power twice to select it, then confirm the flash.
9) Once that's done, scroll back to Flash zip from sdcard, then select update-cm-6.1.2-Supersonic-signed.zip. Press Power twice to select then confirm it.
10) Finally, go back to the Flash zip from sdcard menu one last time, highlight gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip, and press power twice to select and confirm.
11) Finally, select Reboot phone now, and wait. The first boot will be a few minutes (it has to rebuild its caches), but after it's loaded, the Tutorial "Welcome to your PC36100" screen will show up. Congratulations, you have CyanogenMod!

thanks aloottt mate! cm6 is runnning amazing, but where can i get my gapps back? just the gapps, i downloaded "youtube" and "mail!" but i click the app and it says Force Close Everytime? i have angry birds and all from custom downloads and theyre fine, just the gapps is what i want. can i get the market at least? or a substitute like appbrain?

If you followed the directions I gave, it tells you to download the gapps package, and flash it. Make sure you flash the HDPI package only, not the MDPI or MDPI-tiny.

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !

Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...

[Q] [Help] I flashed by accident an a2sd rom and now desire won't boot

i tried everything, i did the steps from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 but the problem is that i don't have on my sdcard or phone memory another rom to install.. what can i do? thanks!

Need a Little more detail, can you get into hboot, can you get into recovery?
are you S-off
Need some more information on what you have done please

Yes i can get into hboot and recovery and i am S-OFF. i did these steps:
[STEP1]- do a battery pull to power off the device (as this is the only way to do so when stuck in a bootloop)
[STEP2]- hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button to boot into the bootloader
[STEP3]- use the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to navigate, and POWER to select. Navigate to RECOVERY.
[STEP4]- select "mounts & storage" and then select the following options
[STEP5]- format boot
[STEP6]- format system
[STEP7]- format data
[STEP8]- format cache
[STEP9]- format sd-ext (IF YOU HAVE IT)
and now i am stuck in the 10th step, wich is to flash another rom from sdcard, but like i said the only rom iv'e got is the one that doesn't fit my phone. i tried to plug it via usb in 2 differnet pc's in order to upload another rom, but i couldn't get to the phone's file manager.
thanks!

Why don't you remove your sd card from the phone and stick it into your pc and load whatever rom and then put it back into your phone?

within recovery there is an option 'mounts and storage', then 'mount sd' or something like that.
then you'll be able to see it when plugged into PC, copy a rom over
it's always best to have an sd card reader to transfer files, much easier.
if you flash an a2sd rom in future which needs an sd partition, use gparted (step 5 here) or 4ext recovery
