the first step is to learn how to read the dozens of threads already open about this exact subject

here's install instructions for Cezar's Continuum rom:
http://www.team-continuum.net/home/index.php?topic=17.0
you may need to create a profile on that forum in order to view that thread (not sure)
however - generally speaking, most devs post up a how-to in their own ROM thread so you should be able to follow their's specifically

Search and research

While you're reading, make 10000000000% sure that you read this sentence:
WHEN FLASHING 2.3 YOU ARE FLASHING BOOTLOADERS. THERE IS A VERY REAL RISK OF HARD BRICKING YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER.
Happy upgrading.

Please search before opening a new thread.

just a quick question on rooting, if you have already upgraded the firmware of the dream to 1.5 before rooting is it still the same process or would it be the same process as the magic, i ask because the tut in the wiki is displaying for firmware 1.
i have the magic atm but my dad has the dream so about to root his phone

This is the developer's forum, you should ask all questions in the Q&A section...
The rooting process is the same, you have to downgrade to RC29 using the DREAIMG.nbh as stated in the tutorials.
Follow this tutorial if you have anymore questions

Please post in the correction section or the mods are going to ban you...
cheers for the help and excuse my ignorance i was just passing by didnt really have time to read the whole read before you post jargon but tanks a million

The first time I installed the ROM

I am the first time I install ROM on the device ((htc hd)) Is there a particular method or program to download it If im install the new rom can re-Roman origin of the device and in what way, And what is the way Roman install i must unpack the protection of the device I hope that the method is complete and well illustrated, thank you
Sticky, Wiki, read and search! There's no need for such demanding post! direct your questions in the right sections politely and someone might help you, but like this is terribly rude!
I'm not sure if you intended it this way, but having large text comes across as rude as it looks like your shouting.
However, your query has been asked many times before. All you needed to do was follow the forum rules, read the wiki & use the search function.
Guide to flashing/upgrading roms can be found here.
Any further queries on flashing should be posted in dummies guide thread.

Flashing a new ROM ... for dummies

I know there's a bunch of threads out there on the different cooked ROMs that are available. Being a noobie to this, I was looking for any insight how to go about flashing my very first cooked ROM. I have a Tilt2 that I purchased a little over a month ago with a couple tweeks I mustered up enough confidence to do: crud scraper and some registry edits via rescoe editor. Flashing a ROM seems like there's a whole lot more involved and with my limited knowledge may wind up rendering my phone inoperable for life with one or three missed steps.
Any insights as to the necessary steps .... in a step by step manner preferably .... would be very much appreciated!
There's a whole step-by-step guide in the sticky thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
If you're not clear anything, then post up your questions over there, and I'm sure someone will help.
As already stated read the stickys and post in pre existing threads.
On that note thread closed.

How to root my phone

This is my first time doing this. I want to know how to root my phone so I can get android 2.2. I would also like to know which one is the best rom that will make my phone better overall. Any help will be gladly appreciated. If you want also send me links on how to do
the first thing you wanna do it learn to search, then read the stickies that are posted at the top. then try asking in the correct forums like the Q&A for example, try there first, this is a thread for DEVELOPING not asking questions that have been answered 12567357/9718497749189 times
http://romrepo.info/wiki has a writeup on rooting and flashing AOSPGB 0.2.0 Gingerbread

There are instructions everywhere on how to flash it. Also, thats an old version, the new KJ3 released today
step 1. dont post questions in dev forum
step 2. ???
step 3. profit
I'll get straight to the point....
Despite stickys and forum announcements most of us are still finding ourselves becoming terribly, terribly vexed at the amount of [Q]'s cluttering the dev section...
Therefore, from now on, if you do not follow the rules outlined below, you will be infracted. Break them again and you may find yourself unable to post anything at all on any forum!!
[Q]Surely thats a bit harsh aint it??
[A]Not really....
We've tried to be nice about it but that clearly doesnt work.
If you cannot read and abide by the simple rules in this sticky then I dont know how you're going to manage to hack your device without running into trouble.
The Dev section is NOT for asking questions.....
The Dev section is NOT for general topics..........
All threads posted MUST be prefixed with a description of the thread, [ROM] / [Kernel] etc etc.....*
*(Not planning on being particuarly strict on this. You guys (the devs), know how to title a thread.... just a pointer for new devs.)
Basically, unless your thread is to actually release something or discuss something of a very technical and n00b unfriendly nature, it doesnt belong here!
Pretty simple really.....
If you see something that shouldnt be here then PM me....
I will try to check in as reguarly as I can but I have a few sections to keep an eye on and believe it or not, a life outside XDA
Yes thats right, there is life outside XDA

This is a direct quote from the sticky at the top of this forum. Read around before you post. This would have been received much better in the Q&A Forum. Because its a question. And nowhere close to a development.
Thread locked. xCRZYx, post your question in the Question and Answer forum. This is development only.
