[Q] How to change ROMs

have found several pages with info but none for the HTC slide. So I don't know if it is recommended to follow any of those.
I installed the CM 6 on my slide and I don't really like it. I found another ROM that I would like to try but have NO CLUE how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction; either via a website or a step by step guide here?
Thanks a million

download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it. go to market and download ROM Manager > open app > select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide > select "Reboot into Recovery". phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery. select wipe data/factory reset > under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache" > go back to main menu > select "install zip from sdcard" > select "choose zip from sdcard" > scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it > after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now" > enjoy new ROM
edit 1 : when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.
edit 2 : you can also flash Overclock Kernels the same way... just skip ALL of the wipes

You are one in a million!!
Doing this now ... will report once done
Edit - what do you mean by Overclock kernels?

CM 6 does not have market ....=/ how do I get the app now?!?!

Here is link to post to get latest Gapps (for market) you will have to get into recovery the way you did to flash CM6)
As far overclock click link in my sig for more info
edit : the GApps link will auto download when you click it

A couple notes on switching between ROMs:
1: when going from one ROM to another, very few allow you to simply install on top of an existing ROM, thus requiring you to wipe the phone from recovery
2: When you do a wipe, you will also need to remember to install the Google Applications ("gapps"). Link for gapps is in the post above me.

Thank you fermunky and raven!! =D I'll look into that in a second.
OK so I booted into recovery and selected "wipe data/factory reset " but the screen has been black for about 5 min now =/ is that normal?
Edit - I went the "brave path" and simply lightly pushed the power button and the screen came up. OK, so I am continuing the process =)
Edit 2 - does the update.zip need to be applied at all?

ROM manager recovery
I have gotten through to trying to reboot in recovery mode through the rom manager. However, when I press the choice to reboot in recovery through the program, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

nope don't need update.zip if you have ROM Manager. what did you press when selecting? power or the track pad? just asking because the track pad is enter/select, power turns off screen.

Good to know I didn't need to do the update.zip =)
I think I might have have used the power as I had done so through the root process but when I touched the power key again the screen came back up instantly and used the track pad from there on.
Raven I OWE you big time!!!!! You have been EXTREMELY helpful. The instructions you gave me were to a T and easy to follow. I found that the Rom Manager was already loaded on the CM 6.
I think this is a great easy to follow post for other noobs and or anyone wanting to change roms with no previous experience!
I just broke down your initial post line by line as it was easier to my eyes/brain lol
1. download ROM to your computer and put it on your SD card without unzipping it.
2. go to market and download ROM Manager
3. open app
4. select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and tap myTouch Slide
5. select "Reboot into Recovery".
Phone will power down and boot itself in to recovery.
(when in recovery use volume button to scroll up and down, trackpad is enter and back arrow is back.)
6. select wipe data/factory reset
7. under "advanced" select "wipe Dalvik Cache"
8. go back to main menu
9. select "install zip from sdcard"
10. select "choose zip from sdcard"
11. scroll through list till you find your ROM and select it
12. after it is done installing go back to main menu and select "reboot system now"
Enjoy new ROM
Edit - BTW I replaced the CM 6 with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784241

I'll ask the same thing Raven asked me; did you use the track pad to do the selection or did you use the power key?
If you used the power then I think that could be it. Try the track pad as it is what worked for me

did you tap "flash ClockworMod Recovery" before trying to reboot into recovery? if not tap that and tap "myTouch Slide" when it pops up and then tap "reboot into recovery"
edit : this might be a dumb question... you are rooted right?

What types of ROM works for the Mytouch Slide? (Ex: would a ROM meant for the G1 work? Any examples of multi-phone capable ROMs?)

The only ROMs that will work are the ones in the "Development" section for the myTouch Slide, ROMs for any other phone will crash your phone.

Poop. I didn't think so... thanks.

I've been meaning to make this for a while, so here goes:
If you do have a ROM installed now that's working:
If you can, connect to a high-speed connection via WiFi, or make sure you have a good 3G signal.
If it's not included in your ROM, install ROM Manager
Open ROM Manager, and give it su access when asked.
Tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Tap on "HTC Evo (CDMA)" when you get the pop-up to confirm the model
Wait for the success message, and tap OK.
Tap on "Download ROM"
Scroll down to the bottom, and tap on "EVO Stock and Radios"
Tap on "Stock 3.70.651.1 Deodexed"
Tap on "Download"
Wait for the download to complete. It's 200MB, so it'll take a while (thus why I told you to get on WiFi earlier).
Tap on "Backup Existing ROM"
Tap on "Wipe Data and Cache"
Tap "OK"
Tap "OK"
Wait for ClockworkMod to Nandroid backup your current ROM, wipe your data and cache, and then flash the new ROM.
Wait for the new stock ROM to boot.
Enjoy!

[Q] cyanogen 7 doesn't boot up!!! htc wildfire

PLEAASSSE HELP ME!!!

Hi this sounds like it is booting up normally to me,please be patient with allowing it to finalize. Please allow at LEAST 10 minutes then see. If no luck then try a clean install again by wiping system and caches from within clockworkmod recovery. Please be careful not to wipe your sdcard.

Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Turn off phone, Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously, then navigate to Recovery using the Volume keys and Press Power button). When Clockworkmod Recovery starts, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". Confirm it. Then, go to "Mounts and Storage", select "Format /system", and confirm it as well.
Once these 2 steps are complete, flash the ROM again.

[Q] Can't select Wipe data/factory reset

Hello everyone and sorry for my english...
I own a SM-T210 and right now it seems to be on a boot loop, so, as i did many times before with Samsung devices, y pressed VOL-UP+HOME+POWER and tried to wipe it via recovery menu. The problem is that as I try to go down to that option, the menu only goes down when I tap two times the VOL DOWN button, EG: reboot system now -> apply update from external storage - > wipe cache partition (doesn't let me highlight apply update from ADB or wipe data/factory reset)
For one minute, I managed to choose Wipe Data, but can't choose YES on the next menu, (no-no-no, etc).
Any ideas? Also tried to reboot in fastboot but it can't seem to find the device (ADB does, in recovery).
Is there an option to wipe it using ADB or ADB Shell?
Thanks!

Oh dear another one of "no no no no" group. Just scroll down when you see the nonono and just below that is the yes .

This is just a problem with the menu highlights. When you press down once, it does actually change the selection, the highlight just doesn't update.

Actually it is not a problem, it was designed so as to make factory resetting a bit difficult or not straightforward....
