After you've flashed your rom or kernel w/e the case maybe is it safe to delete the file to free up memory
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The zip? Yes. But I would recommend keeping atleast one rom that is compatible with your recovery. To free up space though you could delete nandroids I freed up over 6gb of just backups.

Once you are done with flashing, You can delete those files. But its better to keep them in the sd-card. This way you can flash them again without nay hassle.
Like everyone else said you can delete them with no problem but its good to have a backup in case you ever flash a different rom and something goes wrong.. I'd say get a bigger sd card.

I currently have glacier rom on my rooted Mytouch 4g. I download ed two new roms from the xda site, miui rom and cyanogen. After I dumped them on my sd I went into recovery and tried to install zip from sd. I see the miui folder buy there is no zip to.install. Any suggestions or different ways I can get this on?

you don't unzip the ROM. Just go to recovery, make a nandroid, wipe EVERYTHING, then flash the .zip
Is the nandroid option always there? Or do I have to install something because I don't see it

So I did gfree rooting and have cwm 3.0.2.4. Do I need to partition SD card or can I just flash Rom of choice? I do not want pu fail/bricked phone.

Partitioning SD card doesn't help you in absolutely any way.
Please read the relevant thread in Development section, and follow its (only) advice - flash Engineering bootloader.
No partition the card is like making another storage place on it.you don't need it to flash Rome

Asked this question before but nobody answered. When using Rom Manager Premium and doing a "backup of current rom", am I to do this, then try another rom and if I do not like the new rom, do a restore backup and everything will come back just as if I had not tried the new rom at all? I mean everything. I use titanium backup pro, but it's still such a pain in the A to get everything back up and running again. I am running Trigger 3.3 beta right now and really am liking this rom and have it pretty much set up just as I want it now. Cannot see how another rom can be as good as this one, but it would be nice to try them out, and come right back when I need to without the hassles. Thanks.
So ur question is? Should u use restore backup on rom manager premium.. I do

No. My question is, can rom manager premium put everything back like it was using restore, after a rom is wiped to try a new one, without even messing with the hassles of using titanium bacup pro.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes, with the exception of your kernel. It cannot restore that.

Im glad someone asked this question! I thought the same thing which is why I stayed with trigger, but 1 question what if I have trigger 3.0.1 and want to try a GB rom then come back is it possible with rom manager?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
gingerbread and froyo are two different monsters! so no u couldnt but any froyo rom u can!
Well, you can get it back, it's just more work, but getting to GB is more work anyway right?
Couldn't you Odin a froyo stock rom with kernal/modem, then flash the custom froyo rom again, download rom manager, put the RM backup you kept on your computer into the RM folder and then restore the previous settings?
I'm interested to hear if others have done this. I want to try a GB rom, but I like to move around a lot and Froyo roms seem like the way to go if you have an itchy flashing finger.

I just started flashing ROMs to my phone and I do want to have the ability to run ROMS that have the sense UI. Every time I flash one, all these processes start crashing one after the other. I can never get to the homescreen. :/ Also, I LOVE the way the MIUI ROMs look, but this one process crashes every 5 seconds or so and it really gets in the way of using the phone. Is there a fix for this?
What recovery are you using and what version? Also, are verifying the ROM's MD5 before flashing?
Looks like a failed eMMC or a bad download. It successfully flashes in CWM though?

I thought about failed eMMC, but didn't think the ROM would flash or boot at all in that case. It's possible though.
have you verified the md5 sum?
done a full wipe?
Are you flashing the rom by itself or are you flashing anything else with the rom simultaniously before booting up? Like a theme, mod or kernel. Is always best flashing the rom alone, booting up, doing a nandroid and then flash anything else on top.

Are processes crashing before you get the to the GUI, before setup is complete, or after setup is complete?
Incidentally, MIUI is not a Sense ROM and is part of the AOSP/CM family. It sounds like you have a problem that extends to both types.

This is the reason why I asked the op if they boot up the flashed rom before flashing anything else.

I was wondering if the OP has got some bad apps that get installed by the Market on every ROM that is flashed.
I solved my MIUI problem by wiping everything before I installed.

You're supposed to wipe everything before you flash any ROM...
I now know that... I didn't have that issue with CM7, Which was my first ROM. Saved me from having to reinstall apps and restore info

I just got a NC and I got it running with cm7.2 fine but I saw that I could not download anything. It will just say unsuccessful.
Now I got it running cm10 to see if it made a difference with no luck.
So basically I cant save anything to internal memory or move any files to and from

I don't know if it makes a difference but I used the eyeballer guide to flash cm to internal memory.
I also can't change the permissions to the storage/sdcard0 folder it just wont let me edit the internal memory

It is possible that your media partition is not formatted properly. What makes me think that is you have problems with both CM7 and CM10. Did you have problems with stock? You say you just got the NC, new or used from somebody else?
You can try my format zip from my emmc repair thread linked in my signature. But if it is new and under warranty, I would put stock back on it and get a different one from B&N. See my NC Tips thread also linked in my signature for how to put stock back on it. See item A15.
