Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.
I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.
I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?
That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

I'm a nube. Which one do you suggest? I figured out how to do it right. I just want something stable.

Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

Sounds like you may have not done a wipe before you installed the ROM?
I follow the procedure from the CM wiki (because that's the first ROM I flashed)...

I followed these instructions and when I reboot it hangs at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery, waited 1 min. still hangs. I wiped and reinstalled and same results.. any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Ted O
I wiped it, just not good enough apparently. I eventually. Got it working it just wasn't working as well as it looked. I'm gonna try the 2.2 that was suggested.

Just to clarify, I haven't flashed your 2.2 yet. I was still referring to the red dawn rom. If I flash your rom I will I be able to run adw? Probally not right?

What recovery are you using? If it isn't RA, then I can't tell you. I would assume the dalvik wipe would be somewhere around the other wipe options.

Apparently other people have commented in the market as well. Reflashed. Reinstalled. Please help!
I know im not the only one having this problem. People check!
I too am having this very same problem. What makes it worse is I'm on the stock 2.2 rom straight from HTC after a repair (just got it back today, it came preloaded with 2.2). I installed flash from the market, and bam. Nothing.
Very fishy.
I just switched roms and walls. This is about to be a mojor problem. I'm running cm6rc3. Wtf is going on?!
Make sure in the browser, the 'Enable plug-in' option is not set to off.
We are not stupid buddy. This is a real problem..
Checked, no problems, watched a couple of Flash videos. Running Enomther.

I just got my magic to nexus one upgrade and I too am having problems with flash.
Downloaded and installed through market
Plugins is enabled in the browser settings.
Tried reinstalling several times
Running stock android 2.2 vodafone rom
I've flashed several roms and its the same across the board. Its either flash or the browser. This sucks! Anyone help? You can't clear cache or settings on flash.
the one from the market doesn't work.
manually downloaded the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756531 and its working again
Possibly the apk in the Market got corrupted??
Someone should report it to Adobe/Google.
why not try an alternative browser. I doubt it'll work but its one simple troubleshooting step.

I Recently Went To Remove A App From My Home Screen & When I Did I Noticed The Same App Was Still There In The Same Spot! So For The Hell Of It I Went Ahead & Moved Another App Just To Find Out That Every App & Widget On My Phone Had A Duplicate Under It! I Then Went Ahead And Took Both Off, & Replaced Them With A New Icon (Same-App) & It Seemed That My Phone Got Faster! One Issue Is That The Sense Clock Widget Would Not Recognize Being Long Pressed, So I Had To Reinstall The Clock Widget, Which Automatically Rebooted My Phone For Some Reason! After Reboot All Was Fine, Until Today When It Happened Again.... My Question Is WHAT THE HELL IS CAUSING THIS??

No, there isn't. Maybe the Rom file you downloaded was corrupt. Try re-downloading it and flashing, and if you still have problems do a logcat and send it to the dev who made it.

No, I haven't and won't. I don't like sense at all. Plus, it's a sense THEME, not a sense ROM. Sense is tied in with the framework so much you can't just pick and choose what you want from it.

There is a Radio thread in the dev section, where you can flash the newest radio versions. As to what it does.. im not entirely sure myself its supposed to improve phone reception i think.
But make sure you flash the correct type of radio... There is GSM or CMDA. Make sure u know which is the correct one for you!
Now that we have root...how long till we can get a new rom on there?
Never happy...
We need clockworkmod recovery first to even flash a rom. Probably looking at another week or two for the first rom.

As soon as we get a custom recovery, I'm going to try at ROM developing. I wanted to on my Eris for a while, but I never got around to it (I actually did develop one, but never released it and it wasn't incredibly good, so I stopped using it myself after about a day >_>), and this phone seems like a good one to start on.

It's not necesary. You can make and install ROMs without CWM, you just cant make it idiot proof like CWM .zips are
I want Webtop to run on the device.
I recently tried to bring my G1 back from the grave but, unfortunately it seems to not resurrect. I upgraded to the GB and since then I have not been able to use my Touch Interface! It will boot, it will get to the "Touch Android", but i only can use my trackpad to select options.
i know i hate this, ive had a few g1s like this and it is so annoying that you cant just highlight with trackball! when this happens i replace the digitizer and its fixed.
if anyone else has a good idea how to skip this, other then deleting the start up wizard from the rom of choice id love to know
So you think its the digitizer?. I think its the kernal that I have flashed I had two G1s' flashed the sameRom on both and the same incident! Any takers on this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
so you are saying everyone who flashed the same rom as you now has a useless touchscreen? i kinda doubt it, maybe im wrong here but i cant imagine a kernel causing the digitizer to stop working when the rest of the rom is fine. there are easy ways of testing your theory you know...
Like? Let me guess install a different Rom and kernal?
