Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?

There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21

BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

I'd start with posting in the correct forum: development instead of themes and apps.
That said, I'm very happy with Froyo 2.2.1 (released dec 13).

Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

Did you wipe everything in recovery mode before installing the rom?
If you're not familiar with rom install steps, follow the steps in the guide posted in the development forum.

It depends on which you binds good. For me I use floyo 1.2 rom. But you may give a try for froyodvillain 1.7(I think).
and here is somewhere a chinese rom, which is also good too but it may be abit difficult for you to understand that things as you are new to this things..
hope this helps you

Thanks guys going to try froyo 2.2.1 think I need to to look into this abit more though lolz.. what's the radio updates I keep hearing about?

I'd start with telling him to post in the real correct section, which we all know is general, or even Q&A
I use FroydVillain 1.7.2, but if you want speed, just flash flykernel 12 on your current ROM and it should be rapid.

I put froyo 2.1.1 on my phone and wiped everything including my nandroid back up is there any way I can get it back? Froyo is amazing may I add lol.. can I create a backup image of this rom instead?

Yep, just reboot into recovery, and select 'Backup/Restore' and then 'Nand Backup'

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!

[Q] trouble installing red dawn ROM for cdma hero

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.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

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.

I used rom manager and wiped Everything three Times. It still didn't run like I thought it would. Pretty sure it wasn't my fault after that.

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.

G1 not booting

have a g1 and for some reason roms wont flash to it. it came runnign gingerbread of some sorts. i wiped the data via recovery, and it wouldnt reboot, it boot looped. so i have then tried wiping everything and tried flashing lots of roms, but none flash. the phone seems to hang on the g1 screen. i have no idea why they arent booting. i can get into recovery if that helps. any ideas?
EDIT - its only on certain roms now, like cm7, and sense roms

They could require different SD card partitions, or radio/spl combinations.

What radio and spl does it have? Using custom mtd?

I have no idea, the Tom's did mention things about that but since it came tuning cm7, I assumed it had the updated ones. Is there a threadvon how to upgrade them?

Pretty sure it supports cm7 / sense roms as ive tested before shipping. To find out radio/spl, its power+camera.
I believe it to be
.0013d/2.22.27.08
i didnt update the .27.08 (forgot what thats called.) as i heard it has less problems than the one after it. (2.22.27.08 is i believe the second most recent one)

[Q] HtC Vivid poor service with custom ROM

Hello all here is the issue. My girlfriend has the HtC vivid and I have rooted it and obtained s-off with the wire trick. After I was done with this I attempted to find a good ROM for flashing there are very few. I decided on Virtuous Inquisition after installing VI I was fairly happy with the outcome no sense is the goal here. After the flash I noticed the signal bars not working like descired in almost all the non-sense HtC vivid ROMs. This seemed like no problem because the phone still technically had service right?
-well after using it for a few days my girlfriend disconvered that her text messages would fail to send sometimes actually sending them sometimes not. It would take serveral attempts to send the message and once it finally sent the recipent would sometime recieve for than one messages even though the vivid says it only sent 1. The same thing occured with phone calls she would have to try to call someone four or five times before it would go through. It also works the other way and sometime she will not get messages or calls for long periods of time.
This all occurs in VI and in [TEAM CODEFIRE][ICS]De-Sensed Rom by Wajee 1.6. I have tried using the stock kernel and the provided kernel with both of these as well. I have also used several different APNs and they all do the same thing.
I just flashed the stock kernel and ROM back on to the device and I am seeing if she has any problems. Could the wire trick have damaged the phone? I have not heard of anyone else having this problem.
What else can I try

Both of the desensed ROMs have plenty of issues. Wajeeh's is probably the better bet if you wanna stick with no sense. Otherwise Google wcx illuminati and go with that. It's the best ROM for the vivid by a LONG shot.

I always flash the faux007 kernel because i get better battery life with it. you can always try different ones to see how they run

Well I think I found my problem. I unlocked the boot loader on the phone the first time I flashed a ROM but re locked it. I just noticed it was lock so I unlocked it and installed wajee 1.6 and so far so good.
