if not then PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!!!!!
at the moment i am running drizzy hero rom. to do the update i did use the one touch root. on a second phone i did it manually. on both i added the hard spl and am running the RA v 1.2.1 recovery. I liked this ROM and wanted to see what bugs it had. after a few days i wanted to switch and try a different ROM I have dl most of the ROMs available and already have them on my sdcard once i did this no ROM would load except for Drizzy(new Vision v2.8). after trying a few things and accomplishing nothing i decided to redo EVERYTHING. unrooted my phone rooted again applied recovery made sure radio was to date and spl. and still nothing i cant even run the original jf1.5 that i was using before deciding to port. this issue is occuring on both phones. 1st phone was again done with one step root and the 2nd phone was done completly manually. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to try these other roms SO PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. if you need more information on what i did with these phones ill gladly tell you step by step on what i did.
sorry for that.
I was using my G1 and also had a friends. On my g1 i used the one step root. I used the Instructions from The Unlocker.com. It uses flashrec.apk and also Amon Ra's recovery image. After that i went over to the How to Load a Custom ROM. same site. It asks you to check the Radio and the Spl. The radio is 2.22.19.26I and the spl used was the HARDSPL 1.33.2005.
Once i finished that i went and formated the sdcard to Fat32+Ext2+LinuxSwap also converted Ext2 to Ext3.Then I did-Move Dalvik Cache to SD. last 3 steps to speed up hero. after all of that I loaded 4 ROMS CyanogenMod ROM, jACXHeroSkiv Hero ROM v1.8, Drizzy’s NewVision TouchFlo ROM, and JF v1.5 Cupcake ROM. I have only flashed Drizzy's until last night.
I was unable to flash any other one and when i flashed back to drizzy I had problems loading it back but eventually loaded fully the issue was running the startup wizard it kept crashing. after a reboot it was ok.
Give us step by step on what you did and USE PARAGRAPHS
that whole thing looked like mumbo jumbo to me
put new lines where they belong to help separate out the steps you took
FIXED! thanks!

did you do a data wipe? you need to wipe going from hero to cupcake/donut
When I first did all of that I did. Am I supposed to data wipe everytime I switch the Rom?

when your using hero rom's, yes.
if your upgrading cupcake roms (ie cyan 4.0.4 to 4.1.9.2 ), no
If its not working, WIPE
you cant go from hero to cupcake without wiping and not expect a lot of problems. they cause too many issues.
hero roms use the data partition differently
also remember to wipe /system/sd/ to clear all of that out. pull your /system/sd/ to your computer first though
thanks you guys it helped alot
I've had my G1 over 8 months and always had root. I had CM 4.3.2.1 but it was really slow and I wasn't getting any notifications, other people were so I thought I might be getting the problem because I upgraded from 4.3.2 and 4.3 etc etc instead of wipe and reflash.
So I decided to reformat wipe and reflash.
I flashed the devphone first. Rebooted and when I tried to get into recovery again all I see is a ! in a triangle with a phone next to it. I can boot into my phone fine without root.
I can't access the recovery mode at all.
Any suggestions?
fastboot flash your recovery image again. tada. problem solved. Same thing happened to me. I freaked out until I figured that I didn't lose the ability to flash my recovery back.
Is there a complete clone of the stock 1.6 with just root and Apps2SD added?
After using it for a day this is MUCH MORE faster than Cyan and has better battery life but I need to be able to use some sort of tethering and the app space isn't enough for my liking.

i am currently on 2.42.00.03.10 and I can't flash the newest radio over this.
I tried only the newest one but it won't stick.
I tried with clockwork recovery, RA 1.62, and RA Darchstar 1.7.
it goes through the process fine but when i boot the rom it still shows no change.
my signal is good so this is really not a important issue but just a curiosity for me.
i head the same problem but somehow i was able to upfldate my radio, just dont know why after several attempts it finally went thru with the update. are u using any stock base rom? i think after going with stock rom i was finally able to update my radio though i dont think there is a relation between rom and radio. but try if you want to just nandroid ur rom so u can get back to it after u flash the radio. good luck

I'm waiting for a replacement on my bricked Vibrant and I am running my G1 right now. I figured I would update the rom since I'm going to be using it for a little while. Now I am running CM 4.2 and the last time I flashed this on here I had like 20 steps to do and needed a pc. Now with the use of clockwork recovery and everything else available I'm assuming I can get away with flashing away from home and the use of a pc. I notice some newer roms with custom kernals available which is what I'm aiming for but I am not sure if I should grab the latest available CM or if other devs roms are more updated. Will I need anything else other than CWR since I'm already rooted? What are the steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance

you should be able to just get cm 6.1 and its gapps then do a full wipe of your phone and then flash cm6.1 then the gapps and you should be set from there
What's gapps? Do I use cwr for wipe and flash?

I see some roms have "requirements" as that frozo rom has requirements for SPL, radio and ext4 partion. I'm pretty sure all this is out dated on this unit and I don't think I'm on ext4 partion I don't remember converting any data when I flashed cm 4.2

What are the instructions on how to install this Rom? Wipe everything just like wildstang83s Rom.

Correct, i think. It is probably safest to wipe everything, but might be able to be flashed over wildstangs rom.
cool
I'm gonna wipe everything. I've experienced 1 too many bootloops and hicupps specially with cyanogenmod. My Dinc just never seems to like those Roms
Thank you for this. Been thinking of going to a more stockish rom. The latest roms just have too many bugs and quirks for me.

I literally flashed over wildstang83 Rom . I'm gonna attempt another try but wipe the cache and delvik 1st. Wiping everything didn't do anything. I'll report back soon
Not booting..
Not getting to boot animation... I have tried 3 times now.. Wiped everything..Format boot/storage etc... Anyone get it to work?
I was actually surprised and excited to see this update this morning but thought it would be ICS.
Long ago I rooted my phone just for gaining control and removing bloatware but ended up flashing my first rom with WildStang's Gingerbread OTA. After that I applied the "Warm" theme and been happy with that thinking there would be no more updates to this phone.
To the point - my question for you all is what do you mean by flash over? When the OTA is pushed is it just a patch or do they somehow send and entire install which removes the previous version, saves your data, installs the new version, and puts back your data? I don't have a problem with wiping and starting fresh, and it sounds like that is what everyone is recommending, I'm just trying to understand how it would even work flashing "over" my current version.
Nobody has replied to my post and I have not seen anyone report a trouble free install here so I'm gonna sit on the fence for a while
Did a full wipe and all seems to be working well
?
Just downloaded VR superwipe. I'm gonna redownload this Rom and give it another shot.

Flash over is just how it sounds. Literally flash on top of your current rom without wiping your data out.

I have a question.
I am running an ICS ROM how does this affect me....
Well my QUESTION is this:
What are the procedures to installing this and can I just reflash the ICS ROM I was on before.
The only updates with this push seem to be SMS and Bluetooth, is it even worth it?
Thanks for your time guys....
I performed a data/factory reset, cleared the cache partition as well as did a dalvik wipe but after installing it gets stuck on the white Incredible screen. Any ideas? Perhaps my kernal/radio? I honestly lost track of what kernal and radio I have so I am not sure.
So what's up with this ROM, I flashed like 3 times And it boots up.....then it starts a random reboot and just bootloops continuously. Is there any fix?
EDIT: seems the OTA update was a bust check this out........

So guy - you put this out here and it seems like everyone is having problems. How about some feedback. I'm getting ready to sell this phone in two weeks and want it to be on the current version but I'm not touching this ROM until I hear it freakin works. There are always a few people with issues but I'm not hearing anyone saying "flashed it and running with no problems". Appreciate the effort to get this out there but if your gonna take the time follow through on your commitment.
