Hello guys and girls, i am new to this whole rom flashing and i managed to flash Energys Rom with the awsome help of the Flash Rom for dummies. Energy has just released a new ROM and i want to update it to that one. What i want to know is do i only have to flash the the new rom from the instruction USPL5 in the guide or do i have to go through the whole proccess of changing the SPL version and updating the usb drivers. Any help would be very appreciated.

You have to follow the whole procedure described in the awsome help of Flashing ROMs for Dummies.

if you used USPL to flash your device, then you'll have to use USPL again to flash to a different ROM. if you used HardSPL to flash your device, then you can just flash away!
Ok that is all i needed to know. Thank you, Im glad i checked first.
Glad you found your answer, but there was no need to create a new thread for your query. All you need to do was ask your query within Dummies guide thread.

1. I saw some post where they said about stock radios, what r they and is it a must to flash into my X1 after flashing Hardspl or sth?
2. If after i had successfully flashed a ROM into the device,and maybe after some time i want to flash a new ROM into the device which already had a ROM previously flashed, do i need to do some procedures or juz flash the ROM over the older ROM previously installed?
Thx for any replies and sorry for any time taken for reading my qns
After almost 8 months of using the stock ROM (romanian localized), I want to start using a cooked ROM. But I want to save the original ROM (if possible with radio as well) to my computer so I could flash it back when needed.
I searched the forum and I couldn't find (or I am too dumb) a clear tutorial with what I should do to save the stock ROM. Can anyone help me with a tutorial please?

U cannot save ur original rom but can download the original from either HTC or from XDA and later flash it to go back to ur default rom..
the first step would be to flash the HD with the official ROM update, but I am concerned in keeping the stock ROM for warranty purposes. besides... it's localized... isn't it any way in which i could do that?

Official updates go by as original ROM, they install without HardSPL if there is an update for your version of the device, so if you have an Official ROM which you have flashed, there's no need to worry for warranty.
As for localization, most of them come as cabs in the ExtROM or the Windows folder. Try to look for large files on your device, most probably you can find and save everything which installs on first start as localization.
Don't worry, you can revert back anytime to stockSPL and stockROM within a minute and send it back to warranty if will be the case, I've been to this kind of situation and had to downgrade to stock firmware.
succes

Just go to HTC's website and download the last ROM for your serial number. Then, you'll have the original lastest version saved which will be for your provider.
Query ansered. Most available stock roms can be found in the wiki here as well as upgrade roms on HTC website.
For warranty purposes as already stated by tnyynt and official HTC updates go by as original ROM, they install without HardSPL. So if you have an Official ROM on your device which you have flashed, there's no need to worry for warranty.
I have asked a lot but no one will help me
I want to go back to 2.1 roms so do i have to re flash the old radio i was on and then flash the rom
our do i keep the 2.2 radio and just flash the new rom

..flash old radio & flash 2.1..and read some threads it´s all said.
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.
I want to know how to make a back up of my factory rom before flashing my galaxy mini.
thanks in advance.
flash a custom recovery with odin and then go into recovery mode and do a backup of your current rom (stock or custom no matters )
First of all, you should start reading before posting.. Development thread is not a place for this kind of question. Post in general section. Second, factory rom cannot be backed up by CWM unlike the higher end phones.. You will always have to flash a stock rom via PC Odin to return to your factory rom.. Please do not reply to my post..

If you're not yet on gingerbread, better update first your device by following this LINK.
After updating, flash CWM by following this LINK.
Now that you're all set, you can now flash a custom firmware. Pick whatever you want that suits your interest well.
As for me I suggest EMANON or MIUI GB.
enjoy
Hi, this might be asked a hunded times before, but i'm new to ROMs and looking for some feedback.
What are the steps for using a Custom ROM? Is it at all recommended for someone that haven't rooted his phone to go down that path already or should i stick with more basic stuff for now?
Is there any step by step good guide to start? I've been trying to root my phone using odin, but it's failing, will need to research a bit more.
Thank you
you need rooted device to install custom rom, because they use CWM recovery wish needs device to be rooted
rooting your phone is as easy as saying it , dont worry.
the easiest way is to flash jw4 gingerbread(2.3.6),and flash cf-root afterwards CF-ROOT , flash the version compatible with jw4 it is down there in the first page. read thoroughly before flashing.
any other question, feel free to post here i will help if i can.

I'm trying to install now following this instructions for this custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738
Basically i rooted with the jvu, then the CT-ROOT kernel, and now i'm stuck at installing the ROM, it brings a .zip which i tried to copy to the internal memory. There's a signed and an unsigned version of the zip, the signed gives "signature validation error", the unsigned gives "no space on the device error"
You need to flash CM9 first before flashing anything based on CM9/CM10 or any ICS/Jelly Bean ROM in general. First flashing will give you a bootloop, don't worry and flash again!
