Hi...
I am from Portugal and i have my Optimus One in 2.3.3 stock, already rooted.
I am thinking in try the GTR v3x and some CM. (These roms are made for the new baseband?)
I want to someone correct me if these are not the right way of doing the process of flashing...
have a rooted device
instal rom manager
instal clockworkmod via rom manager.
copy .rar to the sd (root?)
turn off
Home + Vol Down + Power
wipe what the developer say and the flash it.
Also, i want to know if the process of flashing unlock the phone (SIM Locked)?
Sorry for opening the threat and thanks in advance
Hi,
Your process is correct, however I would do it a bit differently to be honest.
Yes, I would install clockwork mod through ROM Manager. And boot it up using home + vol dwn + power.
To navigate, use the menu button to move down, and home button to move up in CWM. The back button is for back and search button for select.
To prepare installing a rom, I would do these in order:
Code:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format /system/ by going into 'mounts and storage'
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Battery stats under 'Advanced'
Also, the rom should be a zip file, not a rar. I'm sure you meant zip in your post.
To flash the rom after wiping those stuff above^, just select 'Install zip from sd' from the main menu, and select the first option to select the zip file from your sd, and then find your rom.zip file and flash.
Then you're done. You can flash kernels and other stuff through this method too, just don't erase anything unless you're installing a new rom, as there's no need to.
Also make sure you have the right baseband for the rom

Lol, how did you expect to enter recovery if you didn't flash it?
You need to flash the recovery first
work on getting the recovery flashed before installing custom ROMS. You can opt to choose Clockwork (ROM manager) through market or Amonra.. either ways would be fine.
Then go with the usual flashing after your done with the recovery.
Simplest thing is just go to market.
Search for Rom manager. after install click on it.
Then when it opens press the 1st from the top and you have ClockworkMod.
For flashing the ROM. Find the rom in file explorer or any file manager and click on it, it will prompt for rom manager. click rom manager and wipe dalvik cache and Wipe Data and cache..
No worries ,just install Rom-Manager -> flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then it will notify succesfully flashed clockwork mod recovery..
Try three buttons combo..
It will work .
hoping it will solve your problems.

Yes, IMO ROM manager is the easiest to install...a bit of a user friendly
Stuck on White HTC Loading screen. I was loading CM7 onto my phone for the first time, used Rom manager to load the rom it did the intial restart and went to the white screen. Any help would be awesome.
Pull the battery. Replace the battery. Hold volume down and power untill you see the bootloader screen. Using the volume keys to scroll highlight recovery and then tap the power button to select. Once in recovery (still using volume keys to scroll and tapping power to select) select wipe data/factory reset. Once it does its thing select wipe cache partition. After that is done go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache. Now choose go back. Once in the main menu select install .zip from sdcard. Then select choose .zip from sdcard. Find the CM7 .zip and select it. ALWAYS flash from recovery NEVER from Rom Manager. It causes issues more.often than not.

Using ROM manager to load ROMs can be problematic. Install ROMs through Clockwork Recovery Mod. If you have Clockwork Recovery Mod installed then wipe your Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache(in advanced) and format system(in mounts and storage). Then choose install zip from SD card. Find your ROM and select yes. If you don't have clockwork recovery mod I'm attaching a version you can install from hboot. Place the file PG05IMG.zip on your SD card and turn off your phone. Hold the volume down button and turn on your phone. It will ask to install the PG05IMG.zip say yes. You will now have clockwork recovery mod installed. Delete the PG05IMG.zip after you have the clockwork recovery installed or next time you boot into hboot it will try to install it again. To access the recovery turn your phone off and then hold down the volume down button and turn on the phone. It will boot into hboot again and select recovery. Once recovery has loaded follow the above instructions to install your ROM.

I had almost the same problem last night. But dont worry.
- boot into recovery (power on while pressing volume down)
- **If you dont have your rom in the SD: then go to mounts and "storage > mount" and connect your TB to your computer and place the zip.
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik (advanced > format dalvik)
- format system
- Flash your rom
Thanks! Giving it a go now. Had a strange loop that occured due to an old radio file i still had lingering on my sd got rid of it and it appears that cm should be done installing in a few!
Again Thanks x3
Hey guys. I just updated my Legend to the newest stable CM (with dalvik wipe, using ROM manager) and it freezes upon booting. I can get to recovery mode and I have ADB.
What do I do ? Is there a way to flash a ROM using ADB ?
It's been a long time since I worked with this stuff.
I don't think you can flash from ADB.
I suggest try to download the Cyanogen 7.1.0 rom again and check the MD5 after to make sure it is intact, I downloaded directly onto my phone then used ES file manager to check the MD5 # I had to download a few times because the MD5 # was not correct.

A quick question in your method, did you ONLY wipe the Davlik cache or did you wipe the system as well? I think you will have to wipe system & davlik when flashing a different rom.
How do I find out if md5 is correct or not ?
More importantly, what do I do after I donwload it ? It's not like I can do anything with the phone now, except get to recovery mode and control the phone via ADB in recovery mode.
And I only wiped dalvik cache.
I have help out someone with a similar issue here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18597552&postcount=2
If you want to check MD5 # on the computer goto google and search for a MD5 file checker, ok you might want to know what MD5 is? its a check sum, the correct check sum is on the same page you downloaded on the cyanogen website.
if you know adb commands then you could always "push" the rom zip file to the sdcard on the phone, then flash it using CWM you'll need to wipe system and davlik at the very least.
First try to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvikcache.
Reboot and it must be OK.
If it doesn't work download again cm7 stable, and flash it again with the 3 wipe.
I did a "clear storage" from HBOOT, but it didn't work.
When I get into recovery, I get a screen with a red exclamation mark. I guess that means I don't have CWM recovery. I have the files on my SD card, but htey have been copied from my previous one.
So I guess I'll need to flash CWM again...
You must have used fake flash to flash the rom correct?
Boot it into recovery and press the vol up button and the power button together ok?
It might give you an error once but press it again and again and you'll get into android recovery ok
Then go to install update.zip and cycle down to it using vol up and down buttons and the power button to select ok
Then it should load up clock work mod and you can use the trackpad now
Select mounts and storage and select mount SD card
Then connect USB and put the newly downloaded rom on your phone and once it's completed go back and go into advance settings I think... And do wipe cache and etc... Then go on install from SD and select your rom
Hope it helped
I flashed the ROM from ROM manager. I had CWM, but I don't anymore, because I changed SD cards. I have come to the point where I only need the goddamn update.zip file, but I can't find it anywhere and I think I'll go mad if I don't find it NOW
EDIT: Ok, I found it. At least I did a backup of my previous SD card....

Where to start.. In CWM after save villain on SD, just flash update.zip?
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.

1. download and copy the villian zip file to your sd card after making a back up of your data.
2. go into cwm- boot into recovery, clean cache. Stay in recovery mode.
3. go advanced and clean dalvik cache. Stay in recovery mode
4 select install zip file.
5. choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the zip file you have download.

You can scrool up down in recovery mode by using the volume keys. power button or homke button selects depending on what version of cwm you have.

Thanks.. simple and detailed, thats what a noob (like me) need
update: Instaled Villain 3.0 + Sk0pdr0id 1.6
I have been trying to install Resurruction Rom and here is my present status
Build - XXLQ6
ROM - SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta4
The phone is presently rooted and is on ICS.
My next question (I have read the OP and here is what it has)
Reboot into recovery (Turn off your phone then press and hold the keys: Volume Up + Power + Home)
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Install the Main ROM file -- Wat does this mean ?? Is it "Apply update from SD Card ??
In AROMA installer select "Custom Installation" -- Is this after the reboot ??
Choose depending of your taste
When AROMA installer finish untick the "Reboot Now" option
When you're back on the recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
When you get the step for add your Google Account, if you don't have a WiFi enabled or you can' add it, skip it
When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot the phone
When you boot again into the system, the data will be enabled and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this step before)
This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, mods, fixes, kernels, etc.
¡Enjoy!
Please help me with those 2 steps people..

1) It means that you have to install the zip-file you've downloaded. So, just the rom-file. In Recovery, just go to 'Install zip from sd-card'.
2) No. When you flash the rom, Aroma will be started automatically from CWM (you'll see it when you try it).
So, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, do a full wipe, Install zip from sd-card (the rom-file), Aroma will be started, press Custom Installation, don't reboot afterwards but follow the steps that are written in the RR-thread.
