[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...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

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] First time rooting ... is this the right way ?

Hey guys
Just a quick yes/no answer
I have a HTC HERO gsm... its running with the newest HTC update...
To root I shall do this right? :
1. Universal Androot -> root device
2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...
3. Download a ROM (suggestions ?)
4. ROM manager -> Install ROM from SDCard
Done ??

I'll try this ROM
Floyo 1.1.8
but the rest ?..

Floyo is great! FroydVillain is also good (but imo a little bit bloated). You could always try piecing your own device together from great pieces of work created by various people around XDA (this tends to be what the ROM packagers do, but they put them together in nice neat packages that do a lot of the work for you).
However, for a first rom, Floyo is a great choice!
Zeb

and the rest i listed is correctly ?

And one more question...
Will this rom install wipe my SD-Card ???

No, but if you choose to wipe SD Card Or EXT- Partition than it will !

Okay thanks
Then I'll properly have a rooted hero with android 2.2 at the end of this day

First time Boot
I have rooted now...
How long time should the FLOYO boot screen be there ?
its just goes round and round... and then blink some times...
is this normal ???

Yea, this can take a very long time. Leave it, but if it takes longer than about 30 minutes then I would pull the battery and reboot.

thanks.
How do I boot into recovery if I need that ?

When powering on the phone, push and hold the Power and Home buttons until recovery boots.

Okay, thanks againg

just Wipe everything .. its okay if you dont wipe App2sd Because you going from 1.1.8 to 1.1.9 but its good to wipe everything .. because it affects your ROM & Speed

Hello, its my first time of rooting and installing a custom rom.
I have followed what B4Me has done as far as
1. Universal Androot -> root device
2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...
Ive then used rom manager to partition my sd card
512mb ext size
and 32mb swap size.
Im planning on following Zebwen guide
The Perfect Hero Setup (How to set up your Hero with granular control)
Once ive downloaded all the parts what part of the SD card do i put them in?
When i mount the phone to the computer and open the sd card i have a one folder called rosie_scroll.
And then can i use Rom manager to flash and install the new rom?
Oh and whats the easiest way to completely wipe the phone?
cheers for any help, or a point in the right direction.

If you are using clockwork recovery you can put the zip files anywhere you want on the SD card. I have a folder named roms and I place them all in there.
You can wipe the device through recovery also. When people say "full wipe" they mean to wipe nand, battery stats, rotation, ext... basically all of the wipe options. This will leave your phone with only the recovery mate on it and it will leave the storage area of your SD card intact too.
Once you have done all of this you can go ahead and flash the roms as outlined in the other thread.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

then put new rom on sd-card (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)
turn phone off
turn phone on WHILE holding down the HOME button, till a recovery screens appers.
in here, select first wipe all
then install .zip from sd-card
select the rom (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)
it will then flash, and then you just WAIT and WAIT...
if like mine nothing happens after 40min
pull the battery, and restart the phone, DONT flash again.. just reboot it...
then It should start up after some tries

Spot on, thanks very much for the help.
Is it also advisable to do a nandroid backup?
Or is that not needed with me using the flash clockworkmod recovery in ROM Manager?

Hi, I just did the same thing as clobberknocker but floyo just seems to keep spinning on screen! I pulled the battery and tried to boot again but it wont boot up. What should I do? Just let it keep going? Thanks.

Really need help guys...

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...

PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem

I was running the default rom that came with the desire hd...but i have flashed it to buzz/oc 1.22ghz rom..it said install sucessful but it keeps rebooting at the htc splash screen...i only have 2 roms in zip in my sd card which are both the buzz/oc sense and CM.zip...

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!

Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..

Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

You are not able to enter CMW because you flashed a stock rom. When you flash stock rom you will lose the CWM recovery. To fix this install rom.manager and root your phone again because you have lost your root and recovery this will fix your problem

First root your device using an app z4root. Get it from your pc and transfer and install using filer. Go for a permanent root. Next,like said above,flash Clockworkmod using the Rom manager app. Download it to your system and copy it over to the sd card and install using filer again. Flash lateat Clockworkmod in Rom manager. After that,to enter clockworkmod,power off your phone and boot with power and vol- pressed. Since you're already Gen2,flash ONLY gen2 roms such as Cyanogenmod or gingerstirfry or swedish snow. And remember before flashing these files,do a Wipe data/factory reset in clockworkmod.

to root your phone all you need to do is have usb debugging enabled on your phone and download an application from your pc super one click all you have to do is connect your phone via the cable to the pc and click on the root button. This will root your phone from your pc directly.
Once you have root on your phone download rom manager nd install the latest CWM recovery and flash a rom of your choice best not to use stock roms because you will lose root and CWM recovery again

Solved: Thanks Cyanogenmod
I Visited Cyanogenmod For Zte Blade and follow instructions

its nice to see you solved the problem mate. As a side note i would recommend staying away from stock roms because once you install a stock rom you will lose root and clockwork mod recovery. Using a custom rom will not delete your root and recovery.

Hi
This is called clockworkmod recovery. It's used to flash (install) ROMs, tweaks, mods and Google Apps
Download any ICS GApps package (it'll usually be in the same thread you downloaded the ROM from)
Then place this GApps zip in your SD card. In recovery mode, select install zip from SD card, and then choose the zip you just downloaded

[Q] Problems with GT540 roms

Hello, I recently have bought gt540. Everything was fine, but then I thought about upgrading android. I upgraded it and the problems started. With Andriod 2.1 my started to have various programs' crashes, so I installed france orange rom v20c for fastboot, flashed recovery and etc. Now the thing is my phone has crashes on custom roms too. even on Utopia and full froyo rom by MikeGapinski. Sometimes my phone don't even boot up at all, then ai took of the battery and turn it on once again. Sometimes when it boots up there is no crashes but there s some apps , too. For example sometimes market dissapperas. What can cause this problem? I know it can be because of kernel. I want to hear possible ways to solve this problem. Maybe it would help if I install stock 1.6 rom via KDZ updater and then install custom rom? And one more thing it won't boot up with v20c (or v20b) it stucks at android screen.
Thank you all in advance.

You cant go back to 1.6 now.....don't try to you will brick your cell.

I turned phone i booted up, everything looks works, expect, the market sometimes crashes ( because it loads up very slowly) and other thing programs won't install i tried Angry birds, and some other games ( which don't require for multi-touch) an i tried install some apps (quick settings, google maps) and they won't install,too. Although programs and games were downloaded successfully. Any ideas? After unsuccessful installing it says that package is wrong.

did you do a factory reset ?

After factory I got to the starting point, it hardly boot ups, if boot ups there are crashes. Could this be caused by that my phone as I suspect was not from baltic region and i installed update for Lithuania's location?

hmm that does no matter i live in Asia and i used the European version

I knew that it doesn't matter (on lg p500) but I thought:'Maybe there is a difference on gt540' So what could it be? Could this be because of bad fastboot.exe? I really don't know if the fastboot.exe witch i have is good ( it does the job, but maybe there are bugs in it)

I tried install Synergy rom (for old recovery) it started fine but it says it can't find xbin/cksum, this is the only rom which installs from recovery normally ( others jus t takes 5s... this one is copying files normally) So can anyone provide me rom for old recovery ? or maybe new fastboot.exe would be fine, too.
P.S.now i'm using CWM recovery v2.5.1.8

But not all of roms I've tried installed correctly, some of them installs in 5-10s, others won't install, because there is some kind of error and how i end up with recovery saying : aborted.

you can try to flash 2.1 europian+fastboot and then to reflash mur4iks 2.3 but dont blame me if u brick phone :O this is just sugestion..

It didn't work. I installed v20c france (orange) it seems to work, but sometimes it could be not stable (for example crash or rebooting). Maybe this related to cpu? Maybe it is overheating or smoething?

I think its not a problem with the cpu. The cpu runs with stock configs.
Try to flash the 2.1 + fastboot and then flash a 2.3 rom.

I mananged to install swift droid 2.3 from 2.1 (stock france orange rom) And there are some problems. I go to the market pick up game, it starts downloading it, after it finishes downloading, I get error :'downlaoding was unsuccessful, please try again'. I somehow installed Ninja chicken, and after all tuts in the game, you should be transferred and play, but that doesn't happen, I get that game turned off by itself. So what the problem? Is it really not cpu? Maybe something with cache?

hmmm ok er wipe data cache and try again?

I'm getting error abou downlaoding progrms... dunno why. Does my phone really don't support angry birds ?
EDIT: I am able to paly ninja chicken. Mostly this error is on the apps whick are larger than 8MB or something.

try to get an vending.apk from another rom and install it or downgrade yours.
i think its an market problem.

I tried installing vending.apk from SD after installatio progress it's written application not installed. Maybe try to flash whole gapps? I have gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip I have this because It was needed on my optimus one( i don;t remember the rom) But i suppode this package would fit. Right?

can you test some other roms? like SDSL 1.1 or lewa os?
last option ist to reflash from the begining whit kdz etc...
what version is cwm?
