which rom is good for the milestone and how do we apply roms to the to milestone is it just like my droid go into recovery and apply update.zip and wipe data and cache
I'm a fan of Miui but CyanogenMod seems to be the most popular.
And yes, that how you apply the ROM.

I am doing this for a friend, I have done similar things to a lot of different phones. For the Moto Droid 1, after I root via z4root, flash recovery, and of course make a nandroid in recovery, am I good to flash cm7 nightlies? On different phones I have done this to you need a certain kind of recovery flashed (usually 3.0), so once I flash recovery from rom manager can that work for cm7? Thanks
I don't believe the 3.0 recovery mandate was for the OG Droid
Hi all, I am running rooted stock gingerbread 2.3.4 and unlocked Bootloader and wanted to change to CM7.
My recovery image is RA 2.2.1,
HBOOT-0.35.0017
MICROP-0c15,
Bandbase version 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.
My question is that are there any special methods of changing to the different ROM or do i just download the ROM and flash it directly.
Thanks
Do a Nandroid and then within Recovery, do a factory wipe, then flash CM7 and then flash GAPPS.
Just download the ROM (any ROM) boot into recovery nandroid, wipe (usually at least 2X I do 5X) and temasek system wipe (I do 3X but only one is usually plenty) then flash the ROM and gapps and you'll be good.
Hey guys, thanks for the info. Will do that. Thanks for the help

I've flashed two custom ROMs now (WajkIUI and MIUI Spanish) from ClockworkMod, they both loop on the boot animation.
I've gone into ClockworkMod and wiped data/Factory Reset, wiped /cache and Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache, but the same result.
I've tried the latest CyanogenMod nightly, and that is working fine.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
CyanogenMod is in fileformat ext.4, if your new flashed roms are ext2 or 3 you have to use "back to ext.3.zip" found in xda or modaco forums to revert your filesystem/structure back to ext.3. Then wipe - flash - enjoy. After booting you may change kernel to a kernel with ext4 if thats your choise. Some ext.3 roms have autoback to ext3 some dont. There has also been released zips for making your filesystem ext.of choise.
I hope this helps you out.

Get the link for backtoext3 and ext4 converter from here
And also if you are not on the latest version of CWM, I would strongly recommend to install it. Use ROM Manager from android market to install CWM.
Pardon me, if i have posted a problem that was posted before, but i have gone through the site and couldnt find a solution to this problem.
I have been flashing some CM7/MIUI based roms with no problems, now i have tried to flash other roms (following instructions to the letter) but i have hit a brick wall, its eithr the process aborts before it starts or i get stuck with boot loops.
im currently on a MIUI rom (MIUI 2.1.6) baseband i900XXJVT
stock MIUI kernel.
here is a list that have failed to work through CMW:
F1 Innovation HD v7.0 (WIPE)
MilkyS_Mod_v1.2_CWM_wipe
SGS ICS Doctor's Rom v1 by VibranTurk
GTI9000_JW1_deodex_zipalign_Root
Im not a fan of ODIN because im afraid of bricking my phone hence i prefer CMW flashable roms. Please Help me
thank you in advence
hello there,
you could flash teamhacksung's ICS Port from Cyanogenmod. (I assume you have made a nandroid backup)
That worked for me...
sometimes a rom requires an additional wipe of your data/cache, or a second flash to work!
also give odin a try! you wont brick if you dont do anything stupid.
You need to flash the stock rom after flashing cyanogenmod, miui or any aosp rom.
You can flash samsung based custom roms after flashing with odin.

- Upgrading from CM7?
Do a Nandroid Backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
----------------------------------------------------------------
So it is not nessecary to flash different bootloaders or a Samsung Stock Rom....
In my case i had to do the "Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery" twice to get it working.
It would be nice to hear when you've made any progress.
I have been searching around and can't find out how exactly I should go about flashing a custom ROM on the Hero. Yes, before anyone says it, I am a noob at this, and this will be my first time flashing a ROM(if i could ever figure it out). I have the latest stable version of CyanogenMod 7, which i believe is 7.1.0, and the GApps package to go along with it. Both are on the root of my SD card. I rooted with Z4root, downloaded ROM Manager, and chose the setting to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. Should I flash using ROM Manager, or should I boot into CWM Recovery and flash from there? If possible, does anyone have a video that could help me along with this? The video posted in the video thread for this device is down. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery and flash from there.
BTW, I'm running the latest release candidate for 7.2. Works perfectly for me.
I ended up finding a video on how to flash through CWM. I also later downloaded one of the CM 7.2 RCs, believe RC2. Now my next question is, do I need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache if I update to a newer version of CM, like a newer RC of 7.2 or one of the early beta versions of CM9?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA
Wipe cache etc. when flashing a later version of CM7 over an earlier version. Do a wipe data/factory reset when flashing CM7 over CM9.
It has always been a safe route whenever you flash a new rom to just wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik.
Yes.
