I am running Cyanogen 6.0.0-Heroc. I have been for about 6 months but it has some quirks (locks up sometimes, etc) that may be better with a newer version (I hope). Can somebody please give me very explicit step by step instructions to load a new ROM. Also can you give me a link to the newer version of this ROM.
I was scared to death when I rooted my phone and am equally fearful now. I appreciate your help.
Whoops, accidentally clicked thank
Anyway, I can only speak for what I have done. I have heard that updating to gingerbread takes a slightly different approach. (But I haven't tried it yet)
What I do:
Download the rom and put it on my sd card
Reboot into recovery
NANDROID BACKUP
wipe data/cache/factory reset
wipe davlik
wipe battery stats
flash rom
flash gapps
reboot
Flashing a rom is very easy. I suggest the app rom manager. What you do is you put the . Zip file on the root of your sd card (not in any folders) and re-name it * update* without the *. Now flash clockwork recovery mod and boot your phone into recovery mode via rom manager. It will take you into recovery mode (big surprise) now select install update.zip. this should install the mod right away. the phone will reboot and you have yourself a custom rom my friend.
READ THIS FIRST!!!
troubleshooting and other tips: i put this in because i had countless problems when i first flashed a rom...
if your .zip file won't flash because it says it isn't signed the go to options and disable the need for it to be signed.
so if you are given the option to backup your current mod i highly recomend that especialy if you aren't sure about the rom.
next i suggest getting a rom with gapps as you need that to sync your accounts. just boot to recovery mode then select an option to manually install programs or something like that. select gapps and you're gravy!
i see you need a rom update. i cannot give you the link but look for CM7 it is gingerbread and it looks classy. don't be afraid if it takes a long time to boot. that is natural. it should be in htc hero development forums.
backup everything you can. i suggest creating a folder labeled phone or sd card. copy and paste all files just in case.
if you need any more help I would be glad to help you.

I've been using that ROM, works great but GPS won't stay locked right now. It's very fast.

I just rooted my girlfriend's year old fascinate that was bone stock from day 1. In CWM I am unable to make a nandroid (I get an error). I've heard I need a modded stock kernel in order to successfully make a backup in CWM 3.x or something along those lines.
I looked in the developer forum under the sticky with the list of everything, but it only shows three or so kernels (none of which hint at stock).
I have a Thunderbolt and before that a Droid 2 so I know a lot about rooting and flashing with those two devices, but I am new to the Fascinate. I messed around a bit with Odin when I rooted the phone, but I'm still learning.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Older recoveries supported amend scripting (2.x.x) while newer ones support edify scripting (3.x.x)...depending on which rom your running it may cause problems with backups and restores if you don't have the right recovery...unless you plan on going to an Mtd build (cm7, Miui, ect) I would recommend using the (2.5.1) recovery also called the 3/30 fix all recovery because this version supports both amend and edify scripting..so you make a nandroid with out issues....if you can get to recovery still I would install this zip and then select reboot recovery...it will bring you to the 3/30 fix all recovery where you should be able to backup and restore your nandroid...link to follow shortly...
Scroll down in the first page to the .zip file, download and continue with the steps I listed...I know its confusing at first mainly because development has happens rather quickly which is a good thing! its just a lot to catch up on!

What would you recommend if my plan was to install MIUI or OMFGB?
I'm deciding between those two because I use OMFGB on my Thunderbolt all the time, but MIUI is very good for my girlfriend I think because it's very straight forward and simplistic.

Its not hard to get in to these roms, but you must be sure if you have problems or want to go to anything non Mtd you will have to Odin an official VZW tar and pit file to repartition before going to any non Mtd rom

So basically:
1. Flash the CWM you posted in your original reply
2. Nandroid her current stock setup
3. Flash MIUI
4. If I ever want to return to stock or a non-mtd rom I have to do what's posted in your second reply?
If all that is correct please let me know. Also lets say she doesn't like MIUI, can I simply flash that nandroid or will I have to do what's posted in the second reply?
When I try to flash that older CWM in CWM I get this message:

Yes you will have to do what's in the second reply.
You have it all correct, if you nandroid her current stock setup you can only restore it on a non Mtd build you would have to do what I linked to in the second post to use a vzw rom with pit file to repartition...boot fully, flash recovery then you could restore her stock nandroid..for example you get her on Miui you can only do a nandroid with the recovery that comes with it...I think its a 4.x.x recovery...trying to restore the stock nandroid before repartitioning back to stock will cause problems...so basically you only want to restore a nandroid on the same build (Mtd to Mtd nandroid, or ext4/rfs to ext4/rfs nandroid) and if all else fails and you run into big problems, doing the VZW restore (although can be a lengthy process) will get the phone back running to start over!

I did see it after I replied, is her phone on ed05? I'm surprised that neither the 3/30 fix all or 3.x.x is working
Edit after looking at the pick again you're using times infinity's recovery....you would need to Odin the 3/30 fix all recovery and immediately three finger boot into recovery without letting the phone boot or if you installed the 3/30 fix all via .zip file, you need to choose reboot recovery to enter the fix all one, it should be 2.5.1 I believe

Here's a picture of her phone info:

And as you can tell from the other photo, both making a backup and flashing the CWM 2.x doesn't work.
Trying a backup results in: "Error while backing up boot image!"
Trying to flash CWM 2.x results in that long information message.
That sucks man i'm sorry I've never been on ed05 so I don't know if that why your having problems my suggestion...back up all her contacts by exporting them to sd card, download titanium backup its free in the market, backup all of her apps and screw the nandroid, flash what you want, restore her apps with titanium, but do not restore data, restore get contacts and then boot into the recovery that comes with the rom/kernel and then do a nandroid and that WILL work..again sorry for the trouble, just trying to help.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I appreciate all your help. I'll let you know how it goes.
ed05 is not the problem...You have to use cwm 2.5.1.x if your trying to nandroid backup a stock rom. This version of cwm works on all froyo roms and powerwashed gingerbread. After you make a nandroid with cwm2.5.1.x, then flash cwm4 and proceed to installing miui.

That was my first reply to him...to use 2.5.1 but he said he still got errors? I don't have a clue what the problem is...he's said he's used ti's 3x.x, and the 3/30 fix all still with errors? confused?

Follow the rest of the directions in the link I provided
+1 there ya go. Beat me to it.
Plus, I wouldn't even worry about backing up your stock ROM. Just flash the full official package. This will wipe your slate clean if you run into problems. Restoring nandroid backups leads to glitches eventually from what I've seen.

You did the right thing, as updating will unroot you. You need to get a stock rom zip and flash it through recovery. Here is the zip you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455340
Get the rooted one, either odexed or deodexed depending on what you want. Do not get the unrooted one, or you will obviously be unrooted.
Easiest would be to flash a ROM. Seems like you want to stay stock, so try this. Back up anything you may want with Titanium Backup, then boot into recovery. Wipe everything except for SD card twice, flash and then you're good to go.
Unless you would like to update radios too, which may be good. Download this, it contains all new radios. Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash it. It'll have a box with green arrow, then reboot into recovery. The follow the directions above.

Boot into recovery, you may want to update that as well. If you want to do that, search for Amon Ra in the dev section and use that - directions should be in the thread. I wouldn't normally suggest it, but since you're a basic user then you can also download Rom Manager & "Flash Alternate Recovery" from there.
From there do a nandroid backup, it should be pretty easy to find. In Amon Ra you'll want to back up system, boot, data, wimax, and .android_secure - ClockworkMod doesn't give you options. Then wipe. In Amon Ra you'll want to wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, .android_secure, and SD ext. In CWM you'll want to do a factory reset and wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Dalvik is under advanced iirc.
Then go to flash zip, choose zip, select the file you're flashing and confirm.
It's a quick and dirty guide but it should get you through.
Before doing all of this you'll want to backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup. Restore them after the flash. If you need more assistance then pm me, I have a detailed write up somewhere of the exact step by step. I did it a while ago based on flashing and using Amon Ra 2.3 (the original AR), but download links and directions are in the file.
Good luck!

1. I wanted flash the new CM 10.2 on my LG G2 D802, I downloaded the mod, google apps and copied them to the internal memory of the phone, 2. then I booted into the recovery mod by the automated method(twrp), wiped the data and reset my device and when I tried to flash the rom and google apps, I couldn't find them.
3. I repeated step 1 and this time I didn't reset or wipe the data because I thought I might lose the files again. Then I queued up the rom and apps and flashed them and I rebooted the device.
5. But what I see is a round loading thing inside which CyanogenMod is written for about an hour now.
I am relatively new to these things, please help me.

So how do I wipe and reset the phone and at the same time also keep the ROM file. I see many others installing and I wonder how they do it. I have been searching on the internet for the last two days for this, please help me:crying:

If you were using stock then you'll need to have a read around general and learn how to flash with ODIN. It's pretty straight forward, you can grab official ROMs from either here on XDA or Sam mobile/firmware. The link escapes my mind currently.
If you were using a custom ROM, download to your PC and use ADB Side load or download to your External SD Card and flash via recovery.
You can use THIS for ADB drivers, it's 15second ADB install and it should work for you.

For Stock you'll need the ROM for your region, this is quite important otherwise it causes headaches. For custom, it's entirely up to you, you can choose any TouchWiz based (stock look and feel - I personally recommend AllianceROM by @sparky b for TW based) Or AOSP based (Pure Android with no Samsung features - Temasek's ROM is stellar in this department and the new OMNIROM for the Note 3 will be superb once the dev has it sorted 100%, it's still being debugged and beta tested currently and dev tree's etc redone, stop by @jakew02's thread and have a read at where he is up to)
If you have the N9005 you'll be OK to use any custom ROM for that device. Just stay away from the Exynos (N900) ROMs as they won't work and will brick your phone.
I've recommended a couple of ROMs which are both Stable and feature filled plus one which will be great once fully flying. Other ROMs in the development section are just as great, however, I can only comment on the two I used solidly when I had my Note, and the one's I have ran on other devices. But ultimately it's your choice.
