Technically speaking those are the only steps involved.
however each of those steps may require additional effort on ur part to do some research on these forums.

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

Nice to see some other fin's
You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

Alright, thanks guys. I'm going to try not to brick my phone
I recently got a Incredible S and was considering rooting it. So I went through the topics here and people kept mentioning the option you see on the main menu to "install zip from SD Card".
Just to ensure that I knew everything before I went ahead and rooted, I went to the HBoot screen(volume down and power). My phone was locked(S-ON) and on the screen I could not see any option to "install zip from SD Card". Am I missing something? I am posting a picture of my Hboot screen.
Also something I noticed was that the screen would refresh and automatically run a check to see if any images were present on the sd card. Is this normal?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I am confused and just wanted to be sure.
To be able to see that option you require to root, then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then you will have the modified recovery with that option to flash roms.
1. Root with Revolutionary
2. Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (To find out how to do this go HERE)
Thanks neo, that helps a lot.

Hi Markj338,
You installed the ICS-4.0.3 (incredible S)?
What team?
This version you have installed, has any bug?
thanks.
No? What are you talking about?
I downgraded, s-offed, rooted, and installed recovery, then I flashed a few different roms, before flashing trinity sensation XL as my daily rom
Hey once again its me!
Just a few questions away from flashing Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0!
1. I have made a backup using 4Ext, does that mean i still have to make one with Nandroid?
2. Whats with all these radios? Can I use the radio
--------------------------------------
3805.06.03.03_M
--------------------------------------
for Virtuous Affinity?
3. Would this guide to flash something by Vampire36 be ok?
---------------------------------------------------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
----------------------------------------------------------
4. Anything Else?
1. No
2. Try not to change your radio if it works fine, but if you decide to it anyway avoid to downgrade, it will brick your phone
3. I do the following steps : -reboot to recovery
->backup(you already done this step)
-format all partitions(except SDcard)
-install zip from SDcard
-reboot system
4. No
and wat are kernels and would i need to update mine?

I am using Virtuous Affinity, and i never flashed an alternative kernel.
Thanks, But ...
Thanks,
and which recovery did you use.
I had CWM but changed to ext4 recovery because heard it's easier and user friendly. So if i used ext4 recovery what would be the steps?
and for future reference how would i remove ext4 recovery and go back to CWM if I wanted to?
I use 4ext, i like it to more then CWM. The steps are from my first post in this thread.
If you want to return to CWM the easiest way is to install Rom Manager from Play Store and install it from there.
ok so your method is 100% safe and guaranteed success?
EDIT: What happens if i get into a bootloop (where i get stuck at the HTC screen), do i just boot into recovery and flash my backup?
nothing is 100% safe, but that's the way i would do a change of rom/recovery

so you would prefer your method instead of

because it says thats the perfect way to flash...
No offense, this is my last response, you have to try to read/search the forum for the answers you need. And you don't need to thank me on every post(appreciated but not needed).
I don't say that vampire36's method is wrong, i never tried it. I think my method does the job. I flash a minimum of five rom's per week(still no problems).
Hi there, can anyone share me a link to a thread that can show me to flash a custom rom on Incredible S.

really easy you just have to do the following:
1) search and download the desired and appropriate rom for your phone
2) put in the SD card
3) boots in recovery mode
4) always recommended "Wipe Cache / Dalvik cache" + "Wipe data / factory reset" + "format system (except SD CARD)". If the SELECTED rom does not recommend you do not
5) flashing the rom with clockmodword or 4ext
6) follow the installation instructions 7) Restart your phone and completes the configuration (many roms booting takes several minutes, be patient)
To do this you have at least comply with the following:
a) s-off
b) have installed some program like rommanager, clockmodword or 4ext to install roms
Hello dear friends!
I have following issue with the phone>
1. Phone had froyo installed on it.

so>
4. i got stuck into the samsung boot logo...
so>
5. i tried to flash cwm recovery through this steps provided by this tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190

ok, now device is in following state>
flashed GB rom on it - working
by downloading official gb rom from
here
flashed cwm recovery - works with the steps from my first post now
flashing a custom rom from a zip on the sd card does not work afterwards!!!!!!! - it soft bricks phone again and i have to redo the 2 steps above.... why???
what am i doing wrong???
you didn't wipe data and cache before and after flashing process, right
now u have cwm recovery just boot into recovery and flash another rom... but before u flash rom make sure u clear cache and data from recovery menu then flash rom.
Guilty as charged!!
Trying it now and updating afterwards!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
if your flashing gingerbread over froyo without wiping cache and data then that's why your getting soft brick.
I flashed jb from odin, so no cache deletion needed...
But yes, for custom rom install delete cache data all except sd before!!
So now cyanogenmod is up and running!!
