[Q] How to flash a theme into the phone?

Sorry, I am new with Andorid phone. I rooted my phone and my phone is using stock rom FRF-91
I downloaded version B Battery-Black Numbers for stock FRF-91 non-themed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754873.
After downloaded, I don't know what to do with the zip file. Someone told me that I can use A4D Utility to flash into the phone. I keep trying and no luck.
I want to have step-by-step guide to teach me how to flash a theme into a phone.
If I am using ROM Manager to flash CM6-RC3. Do I need to unlock bootloader? Do I need to have Superboot installed?
Also, how to tell if my phone is bootloader unlocked?

just use ROM Manager to flash the theme...just as you did with CM6.
Just make sure you backup the ROM when the Manager asks you. Just in case something goes wrong...you can restore back to your previous state.

[Q] question about flashing custom roms for milestone

hello
i have few questions that i couldn't find answers for , i hope you can help me
i have a little experience with rooting and flashing custom roms on the HTC G1, and i have been reading about milestone since i bought 1 and i wanna root it and install a custom rom on it ..
first of all , from my experience with the G1 , if there is a mismatch between the SPL and Radio , the cellphone will get bricked . here (for the milestone) i didn't see anyone mentioning those things .. all they say is install openRecovery and then flash etc .. so (just to make sure) isn't there any such threat as the G1's ?
another question is , as i saw in the guides , i need RSD Lite to root the milestone and then install open recovery .. when i rooted my G1 and installed a recovery i used "universal androot" and "ROM manager" from market to root and install recovery (and then continued from the recovery to flash custom rom) , is it possible to do the same for the milestone ?
last question, i live in israel , do i have to do anything special (do something with the radio or anything else) to get my milestone working properly here ?
thanks

1- There is no chance of bricking the Milestone by flashing the wrong radio.
2- You can use Universal And Root to root the Milestone, but ROM Manager WILL brick your phone.
3- What you can do is flash the 2.2 vulnerable recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and then put OpenRecovery on your SD Card, and root the phone via OR. After that you flash your custom ROM. I believe there is already an Israel baseband in OR, that you can use to flash in Change Baseband in OR.

Unrooted 2.2.2

My USB port is loose inside and i cant root so i was wondering is there any apps or anything i can download from my phone online to make it a bit quicker? Is there any unrooted roms for our Droid?

You can root or unroot your phone using Unversal Androot aplication.
Probably stock roms are not rooted, but I am not sure, because I've got Milestone.
To download rom (from internet, no usb needed) and install it on your phone you can use ROM Manager.

Well i have rom mgr but cant do anything since im not rooted and cant get rooted or recovery cause when i do update.zip and reboot to do rsd lite the phone always goes back to dec 31 1969 even when i click automatic set in date and time setting. Not sure whats up. Its keeping me from the rsd lite process. Ive tried it i always pass can i do the rsd lite first then update.zip? Or the other way around? Is there a stock rom without root and recovery?

I have recovery MC1 A855 do i need VZW FRG 83G? Im running 2.2.2 now. Will this get me into CWR?

UPDATE!!! Got phone working without USB port and did everything online with phone and did GingrBrk apk and got root and SS 5.4 ROM and v6 update ver 8= Flat flying

Could have also tried z4root, think that works for Milestone too...

noob question

right now i'm running cm7.1 on my captivate and I was wondering if i tried to flash MIUI.us via rom manager if it would work..

Don't use rom manager. Just use cwm. Always a good idea to follow MIUI's instructions.

thanks a lot

[Q] installing custom rom from stock 2.1?

OK, this will be the last question(s) from a noob.
Here's the thing. I recently rooted my X8, installed xRecovery, and also installed Busybox.
I want to install a new custom rom onto my phone and I have searched everywhere for an answer (of which there are many. But very contradictive of each other).
Here are my questions:
Do I have to go back to 1.6 to get the new rom, or can I stay on my current 2.1?
Do I have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery to install the custom rom (which is CM6)?
If the above is true, then how do I put it on my phone after I have already have xRecovery?
How do I get the rom installed on my phone using xRecovery?
And finally. The intended roms zip file says something along the line of update-froyobread.zip. Do I have to install the original CM6 rom on first and then put the intended rom on after? Or can I just install the rom by itself?
I know this question is very noobish but I hope you can be patient and help me...
Thanks in advance.

first you din´t need to go back to 1.6
second you not need cwm recovery
and about the rom you need to follow the instructions in the post of the rom
and you need baseband finished in 15

Thank you I'll give it a go!
