Not that I know of. Custom roms require a custom recovery. There is a nice wiki in these forums with all the answers to the most common of questions. For quick reference, here is a link that directly addresses your question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials#Flashing_custom_ROM
Refer to the beginning of that wiki first for other questions you may have. It really does have a lot of detailed & accurate information
Thanks for your help.

I have an unlocked, nonrooted AT&T/Rogera N1 running stock froyo (frf91). I am very interested in rooting and flashing CM6 and trying out other custom roms, but if I want to get back to stock froyo, how do I do it?
Keep in mind that I'm a newbie, and yes I've searched the forums but I haven't seen this specific question asked.
Any help is appreciated, since I'm still learning. Thanks.

Yes, once you're rooted you can switch to any ROM you want with ease, even stock should you wish.

You can even use the ROM Manager application included with CM6 to automagically download and flash stock images. You know, if you wanted to.
Thanks for the help guys!

Custom roms can be found in development. Threads are
Paragon, phoenix, cognition, andromeda, stripped, precision, continuum, serendipity, firefly, perception
There should be tutorials in the stickies in development
Each rom usually has brief instructions, installation is the same for most.
If you are really interested, I am bored and will help you out

Your OP doesnt follow your thread title.
I am pretty sure that the hot spot feature is only available in 2.2 so you will need to flash a 2.2 ROM. Most now are at least 2.2. Try to look at the posts to see what features you like the best.
There is a sticky in the DEV section that tells you how to flash new ROMs that is pretty good.
New to android world and looking for first rom. On stock Froyo 2.2, rooted, clockwork installed. Which rom can be installed without Odin? Do kernels have to be installed separate, if so, is it before or after rom install? Looking for sense-like ui.
Thanks!!

If you want sense go buy a HTC lol. Odin is going to be your bread and butter since its the easiest way to flash to stock and flash kernels. Most roms can be installed without odin though. Go to the dev page and look around at the roms and make your choice. Remember Gingerbread needs new bootloaders (except Cyanogenmod and Miui) and as always read read read.

my apologies if this question has been asked before but since i couldnt find it anywhere so i am posting now:
this is my first time rooting an android device and that too coz recently my htc desire c had become super slow so i unlocked bootloader and downloaded the hasoon2000 tool but after the recovery step i was totally lost on how to flash kernel and all so i switched to superboot and i successfully rooted my phone.
now i wanted to install a rom so i chose nameless rom but the instructions were so confusing and i messed up. i couldn't install it and then my phn wnt start so i went back to hasoon2000 and flashed kernel using the boot.img from the nameless rom and my phn was back up but my wifi is not on anymore. its says error and i saw that my mac address was gone. then i tried again installing the rom and this time i did successfully install it but my wifi is gone
i have two questions:
1. how can i get my wifi back in this rom?
2. can i install any other rom and if i do then will i get my wifi back?

Click on the second link in my signature.. Look for Prometheus Sense Kernel there. Flash that using fastboot, (or the toolkit) and your wifi should be back.

The 'method' to install any ROM is the same and its not difficult. And there is no such thing as a best rom. It's just personal preferences. So if you like HTC Sense, then go for Revolution or Sensational Rom. And if you like a more 'Nexus-like' feel then we've got a lot of JB Roms for you. JB ROMs are believed to be faster than Sense ROMs in general.
So just look at threads of the different ROMs and once you decide to install, download it. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 right now. I've been using it for a long while now. It was the first JB rom made for this phone and all the other ROMs are made using this as a base..
We even have Samsung-like and Xperia-like Roms. So if you're interested in that, have a look.
And for Sense, Sensational ROM V4 is the most up to date ROM we have. It has a Sense 5 feel to it..
Hope that helps a bit. One more thing - never ask for best rom or best kernel. It's bad manners. But we can understand as you're new..
I've got my Verizon SCH-1800 that I wanted to start using again.
Looking at it now, I'm on CM 9-20120511-NIGHTLY-p1c, which is 4.0.4
The kernel is 2.6.35.7-g8f42093, [email protected]#1
I've been reading around about new ROMs, etc but if I'm not mistaken, back when I rooted this processes were very particular about how to root this tablet and all I'm seeing is a lot of older threads. I guess I'm hoping someone can answer two simple questions for me:
- Is there a method of rooting that is the definitive way for this tablet?
- After so much time, is there a version of Android that is most stable for this aging tablet? ICS, JB?
Thank you if anyone can help, I appreciate it.
If you have CM9, then you have root access. As to stable or good rom's, you just have to read up on the different ones to see what sounds good to you. Then flash it. Don't like it? Try another.

Ok, so from now on it's just a question of installing zips via recovery? I never have to go back to stock again like you once used to?
Something more must be needed because I can't even flash this CM ROM without problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032726
Recovery says it's a bad ZIP. But I got it from that link.
