Maybe someone could provide some details as to what the recovery image and cyanogen does?
From using it recovery image is a mod for the boot loader so that you can flash the cyanogen zip. If I am incorrect please explain.
I had another question about updates.
boot loader - is it necessary to update to a new boot loader if there is no cyanogen since you won't be using it yet.
cyanogen - is a update of the cyanogen basically an update of the android os? eg. if there was an android 2.2 then there would be a new cyanogen and I would have to install that to get the new os.
It is no longer possible to update through the network after you have modded your phone, so the only way to update is by installing cyanogen? if so does that mean every time you want to do an update your data will get deleted?
THANKS
maybe someone could try reading or searching...

if you are already on 4.2.1 just put the 4.2.2 on you sdcard and turn of the phone then go into recovery mode (home+power) then flash 4.2.2
I need help quick! Im stuck on rc29 and I cant update!!! Everytime i try to unzip the Update.zip folder it tells me Signature (302) failed or something like that. It feels like ive tried every single download possible. Ive tried to go rc29 to rc33. Ive also tried to go rc29 to rc30 but none of them seem to work or is it me? HELP!!!
thanks!
surely you have been here long enough to realise that you get no love when you ask in the wrong section
Did you rooted the device and installed custom recovery image???
It seems like you tried the roms without flashing the custom recovery image as the custom roms cannot be flashed with original recovery..
The best custom recovery is Amon Ra 1.6.2 for the dream and magic..
However you should be able to flash the official OTA updates like cupcake or donut.. straigt from RC29 without rooting the device too..
Thanks!
Moved as not Android Development.

Hi xghost. You dont have to update radio to flash desire roms.
You can update it if you want to but remember, flashing the radio is the "only" way to brick your phone. Not a high chance but higher then most other things you can do.

You have cyanogen recovery 1.4 you say?
First:
install 1.33.2003 (very important -- ends in a THREE) SPL. Search the forum for it, should be around.
Second:
install 2.22.19.26 or 2.22.23.02 radio (.19.26 is available at developer.htc.com/adp.html).
Third: install a newer recovery image. Check the dev forum.
Fourth: install any ROM you like. You can install the bone stock ADP1 system image (like tmobile stock, but has root), if you want to try CM6, you should look in the dev forum for firerat's MTD PARTITION HACK THREAD. Hell, it would do you good anyway.
Thanks! Time to do some reading and get this resolved.

Hi,
refer to my screenshot which I've attached.
Just wondering usually there are new updates for Kernel and Roms. What I did was to dl them, reboot into Recovery mode and the directly flash those new updates in.
Is this the right way or should I say that is my way the best way to install updates?
P.S sorry if there is the same thread somewhere.
Thanks
Yes, that is the right/correct/best way to flash the same ROM which has been updated, if you're going to flash a different ROM then it would be best to do a full-wipe.
P.S. Please learn to use the search function ASAP bcoz this question has already been answered before and learning to search will reduce multiple threads about the same issue.If you have anymore problems there is a great FAQ thread here.....
on this rom, check the software update section.. option to download the update is there. once the download is complete, just press the install button next to it and it will auto boot into recovery and install the update. easy.
