[Q] Need helps installing new ROM :\

Hi guys,
so afew days ago my pc seemed to just turn off randomly as my phone was charging from it.. my pc still worked ok after some quick tinkering but my phone would no longer boot into the old modaco desire rom i had installed.
I figured it was a good time to find a froyo ROM instead and so i decided to get the eViL NXSense ROM. Last time it was much more easy for me to install since i had just unlocked and it all went smoothly, this time i put the ROM on my phone and tried to flash it and it just doesnt load, it sits on the 4 colored lines :\.
Can some1 help me and guide me how to install this and get it working, i really need my phone up n running.
Thanks in advance.
Link to the ROM i want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290

i dunno. Ive only flashed cyan stuff. Are u running 2.2 or 2.1? Maybe u need to upgrade ur radio? Did you wipe?

+1. Did you wipe?

what problem are you facing? which recovery are you using?

Ok, i did wipe 1st, im using an old recovery which i used when i 1st flashed my old modaco ROM, cant remember what its called but it was up-to-date then.
I discovered i have more problems though. My PC doesnt seem to regocnize my phone, i can move files around using the fastboot fine, but activesync and such doesnt regocnize my phone :\.
How can i fix this since i guess this needs fixing before i can do much else?
:S sorry im a total noob at this rly feel kinda in the deep end.

Hmm.. I am sorry. I don't have any idea about that syncing problem. I hope other member may help you with that.. I am noob too..

Personally, i would start off dealing with the computer issues.
Find a program *win version* called usbdeview. UNINSTALL all drivers related too your phone.
Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.
Reboot your system.
Connect your phone and reinstall the drivers.
Activesync??? Ummm what's that needed for?? i used too use that app for Motorola phones.

Make sure you have at least the SDK/Tools folder.

When you install the android Software Development Kit (SDK), it should create a folder inside of it that is called "Tools".
For me, it is at C:/android-sdk/Tools. This is the folder that contains the magical fastboot and adb tools that you need to do anything devious with an android device.

Ok, then it seems i don't have it at all.. did a full search and cant find it.. i did format my pc around 3 months ago and dont think i ever really installed anything for my phone since i saw no need for it.
I've downloaded it now from the android website . All unzipped and ready to use.

Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
EDIT : I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

You've opened a new post on this, also...

Ok, so a quick update/ask for more help. Thanks for the advice so far, it has all worked, i uninstalled all drivers, restarted, plugged in my phone and reinstalled the fastboot so now my pc is recognizing my phone at least.. i have the SDK/Tools ready for when i need them. I don't know whats next though, must i flash a new recovery image? if so where can i get this? Or must i 1st update to froyo?

As long as you have root why don't you download rom manager from the market place and use that to flash new roms? It'll update your recovery if needed. It is a well rounded, worth while app.

Update:
I used amon_ra's recovery 1.7.0 and managed to flash the old desire rom i was using before, but as i said.. i want to update to froyo and use eViL's NXSense 1.21.3 ROM, this requires a new Radio and Kernal i believe.
Can some1 please tell me how to install what i need to to use this rom?
here is a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290

What are you having problems with?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I want to install a new ROM, but i need a new kernal and radio, how do i install them?

Which kernel and radio do you currently have, and what do you want to change to?
Have you already tried anything (if so, what problems are you having)?
Here's the radio info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Radios
You can flash kernel from recovery in pretty much the same way...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

well, i don't know how to find out what kernal/radio i am using currently.
I need radio 5.08 kernal im not sure, but as i explained i want a froyo based desire rom installed. which do i install 1st? how do i go about it? im sorry but im really noob at this stuff .

[Q] Rom Manager, Rooted Dell Streak 2.1

Hello,
I have a 02 Dell Streak with Google Android 2.1 Update_1 Build 6491 Kernel Version: 2.6.29-perf.
I also have the latest version of Rom Manager with Flash Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.1 fully flashed and ready to be used.
I recently downloaded a custom 2.1 ROM to flash to my device to use from MoDaCo to use.
A few problems I am having at the moment.....[not sure if i have done this wrong or not.....]
1. Rooted my Streak with Universal Androot, Rooted fine.
2. Downloaded Rom Manager, flashed the 2.5.0.1 Recovery on my 02 Stock ROM
3. Clicked on "Reboot into Recovery", confirmed that I want to reboot into Recovery Mode, phone shuts down, switches on, gets to the Dell Logo screen, then boots the 02 splash screen and boots back into Android 2.1.........
NOTHING HAPPENDS!!
Does anyone know/think if i have done something wrong, or if there is a compatibility issue with the build that i have [Build 6491]?
Really want to get into all of the ROM modding as i have done the same with the iPhone 3G-S on 4.1 and got Android 1.5 on it and with a HTC Hero [UK GSM Version] using FroydVillian 1.5.0 [Android 2.2]
If anyone can help me, i will be most pleased!
Thanks

When you load Rom manager, do you see the installed version on the first option, or do you get "You must have the Clockwork..."? Sometimes my streak wont go into recovery when using Rom manager, I set the rom i want, then manually enter recovery if rom manager wont. no expert here, just sharing my experience with rom manager. good luck!

Thankyou dude i do have clockwork mod recovery 2.5.0.1 and ive tried older and newer beta versions and nothing happends

Well i am having the same issue and waiting if someone can help since i need to update the phone to 2.2

Well I'm new to all this but I am trying to do the same thing utilizing Rom manager with no luck. Upon reading all the directions for upgrading and downgrading the Streak I am going to assume that for some reason Rom Manager is not fully compatible with the Streak. I could be wrong and maybe someone can verify this, but seems to me if it was compatible this would be a much easier way for upgrading and downgrading Roms on this phone.

I have sent a emai to the Clockwork recovery developer and waiting for the response. if and when i will get a response i will update everyone on this thread

Does your sd card get detected?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Same thing happened to me. I flashed the stock recovery image via fastboot and then manually loaded the o2 update package to my sd card by popping it in my mac and dragging the update.pkg to the card. Then I put it into recovery by holding the up and down volume buttons and power button. Installed package. It will reboot and you'll see the o2 logo. Then you're golden. You can upgrade to 2.1 after that if you like by flashing the 2.1 update.pkg.
I don't think you can go from stock att 1.6 to steves froyo. But that is just my experience. There is a thread in the development forum on how to upgrade and downgrade. That's where I got my info. Good luck!

Help with installing rom

I am a newbie needing some help. I rooted my vibrant months ago to have the ability for wifi tethering. It went flawlessly. I initially wanted to wait for the official update. Since it doesn't seem to be coming any time soon I decided I prefer to install a rom myself. I decided to install cyanogen because I've heard good things. I went to the instructions and was instantly bombarded with technical lingo o did not understand, starting with nandroid backup. Well I have rom manager, I did a full backup of my current rom but I couldn't find it on my sd card. I tried to download black hole from rom manager and it just took me to recovery with no options except the normal ones, at this point I felt over whelmed and gave up. I am wondering if anyone can simplify this for me and recommend the best rom? Thanks!

Unroot and wait for the OTA. 2.2 OTA is out now. Seriously.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I would either do like the previous post advised and get the official update that is out. From everything I am hearing it is self updated (you have to do it) through Samsung mini kies. Tmonews.com covered the issue, and what you had to do. If you dont want to do that, and want to keep it rooted and put a rom on it, PM me and I will give you further directions and my personal opinion about what rom would be good.
Good luck.

I had a similar issue at first with the recovery. Open rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery. After that's complete reboot phone into recovery. It might load the regular recovery, if so, use your volume keys until you get to install packages and then click the power button. After that it should run the clockworkmod recovery.

No need to unroot, you NEVER need to unroot, at least with this phone, dunno about others.
Do what xdefied said about recovery.
cynogen is if you want a stock google experience. The official 2.2 update is out, download mini kies or full and update. Go with custom roms if you want a slightly modified samsung experience. Once you get clockwork recovery working it'll be a snap, choose file in rom manager and you're done.
P.s. Wrong section

Thanks for the replies. I know I have a lot to learn but I have to start from somewhere, and I just appreciate the people willing to give a total newbie advice and it's good to know I'm not the only one to have problems initially downloading from rom manager.

No Market

Just tried to flash a rom and the phone rebooted and when it came back I have no market at all. I press on the market icon and I get a note saying to send a message and report it. I am freaking out.

Did you flash a gapps (Google apps) package?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Yeah, you need to flash a Google Apps zip. Roms don't come with them, or well, some do, but technically that isn't legal and Google doesn't like it.

did you do a nandroid?
And here, not sure how these work on a non cm7 rom, but you can give it a go.
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
The universal dpi for cm7 might work. You would probably need to wipe your phone
cm6 hdpi might be your best bet

I did a back up and my rom never flashed due to the new recovery I used on rom manager. My original rom (stock with root obviously) came back with al my google apps but the market. I DL the market thru my browser but my phone will not allow the download. Tried going into recovery but the new recovery I dl thru rom manager will not allow me to use my back up or the other roms I have on my sd card. When I go into recovery I get the triangle and the little guy, I hit the power button and volume up and go into this weird looking recovery that doesn't allow what I need.
Help me I'm screwed I think. I think the new recovery I dl screwed me all up.
Vinny

Put the old recovery on it then, and restore your nandroid.
If you ended up with stock, you may have lost your root. So root again and install the recovery that you made the nandroid with.

I'm a bit confused.
It looks like you're using the stock recovery. Somehow you corrupted flashing a recovery.
You're far from screwed. If you can flash clockwork 3.0 from ROM manager. If that doesn't work, try this.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
I would advise using clockwork, as it has tight integration with ROM manager. Here's the download for that.

IF you lost root, you're going to have to go through a lengthy process. Let me know if you need help.
