Ok - So I finally rooted my hero. yay me. Thanks to regaw's FANTASTIC walkthrough.
So now what? I tried to find some walkthroughs on flashing a custom rom, and I just get frustrated when people keep saying, just wipe your phone, perform a nandroid backup.... and more gibberish that just frustrates me. And when I search for basic walkthroughs, I just get the same threads.
All I want is a link to a thread that has a simple step by step walkthrough on how to install a nice stable rom without the crappy nascar and other apps that sprint brings along. and maybe.... an overclocking app and wireless internet tethering... anyone?
Try this Wiki has alot of links for the things you need to know

Thnx
Thanks But still didnt make much sense.
Just choose which Rom you're most interested in. I reccommend ITJE or ASERG's work.. their roms are fast and very stable.
Download the rom and follow the instructions, it's very simple and most people are very afraid of bricking their phone ... so just make sure you have the STOCK RUU http://www.mediafire.com/?2nq9iu0a2nt on hand and you'll be fine.
The thread that kidnamedAlbert linked to is a way for you to make your own ROM the simple way.

totally agree. im a wizard owner and the herald sub-forums suck. none of the information is consolidated very well if at all. and some of the info is old and then updated later in the thread instead of updating the first post. this sub-forum needs some help. ive been reading for 4hrs today, and read a bunch a couple weeks ago and am still unsure of things. there just is no definitive guide that goes over ALL the things you need to know and understand and then the things you may encounter and what to do if you do.

I've been using Open Touch roms since my first flash without a problem. Its very fast and reliable and my wing runs like it should. The T-mobile rom sucked and really frustrated me the first couple of weeks I had it. Another good thing with Open Touch is that you dont have to HardSPL your phone. See below. I'm pretty sure you'll find it easy enough if you read the first page of posts. Thats my recommendation.

I'm brand new and hoping to get some advice if possible. I was able to root the phone with no problem thanks to the One Click Root Program so thank you to the Unlockr and to the thread on here.
Now, I'm not sure what to do about a custom ROM. I honestly just want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. Other than that I have no requirements. I don't really care other than that as long as I can get rid of things that I don't want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

since you got root, to remove att junks: install root explorer from android market and uninstall each junk manually. for custom firmware search forum for clockwork recovery (rom manager from market) and read instruction on op to install. gudluck

Download titanium backup which is free. It allows you to uninstall apps. Even system apps. Read and be careful. For the most part avoid all Google apps
Captivate

Thank you! I appreciate the help so far.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. I thought I was in the right place but that was my mistake.
This thread can be deleted. I was able to root it and get Cognition on it with no trouble.
Thank you to everyone involved with the development and donations will follow soon.
Hey there. I'm relitavely new here, but i've downloaded a few things from here in the past (Mostly apps and games). Now i've come unstuck with trying to upgrade the ROM on my touch HD. All I really want is to update to the Windows Mobile 6.5 version for it. Now, I went onto the HTC website to download the update, and put in my S/N number. (HT844KD03498 - I presume i'm okay to post that?) It says it's not available for my device. This has stumped me.
If that update isn't the best for the phone, and anyone could suggest/help me out a bit with getting a custom ROM, that would be great. I have read the thread about it.. But it would be a lot easier if someone could skype with me, or something like that. I really, really don't wanna mess it up.
Thanks in advance, Remmy.
yeah, we never got an update because our blackstone doesn't have a windows button... But we've got XDA so it doesn't really matter . If you follow the instructions in this guide there really isn t much that can go wrong. And if you're looking for a rom, I recommend KWBR
Okay, thanks.
I assume you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
The only thing is I would really like someone to sort of guide me through the process on skype, or another form of chat. It's just that safety net of 'I can ask this guy while I do what i'm supposed to do'.
Any offers? :$

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.
If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.
thanks

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

Chill out guys, damn, you all sound like some grumpy old men. I've been in PPC's when they had B/W screens back in the 90's and I don't get this angry when a new guy ask me some questions. We all had to start out somewhere.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.
Now, I want to go back to a 2.3 rom but don't know how to do that... What rom would be the best/easiest option for where I'm at right now and how would I do that?
read is all you can do.... -_-

Sorry but I've never had to flash back before.. I've bricked my phone twice before and I'm quite scared doing anything like this now without some sort of guidance.
That is what stickies are for. If you don't know what those are, then you are outta luck...
Forget it then. I don't want to lose all my apps anyway and have to re-download everything.
you dont have to loose your apps. go google titanium backup. read read read read..
here read the XDA new user guide that i wrote, and LEARN what and where stickies are.
I hate to tell you this. But when you venture into the world of custom roms, re-installing apps is pretty much mandatory. especially since the roms are all alphas or betas!
If you want stable stick with stock. As a bonus you also get bloat ware and lag!
The reason you get the replies with members who tell you to read is because they have worked their butts off making these roms. Also making stickies and guides to help you with these common questions
