Hi, I am using IS 4 half year, and I decided to flash this Rom recently. However, I have a few stupid questions and I hope u guys can answer me.
1. What is the tool to wipe my device?
2. Is it ok 4 me to flash the Rom by using '4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL'
3. When I flash this Rom, am I going to do this through recovery mode or others tool?
Hope u guys understand my English since English isnt my native language.

1. I use arhd's super wipe tool, available from his thread in development section, even for other ROMs and it works fine, or u can do it all manually in recovery.
2. Yes
3. Flash through recovery. Download zip to root of sd card using pc, boot into recovery and follow instructions...simples

I think u need to be s-off before u can root, but I may be wrong. U might aswell s-off as u need this to flash custom ROMs and therefore use ROM manager, as this needs superuser rights which u get with s-off and root.

On the topic of both starter questions and installations, why won't ROMs flash with s-off? What's the big difference between that and s-on and why does one void our warranty with HTC?
(Apologies in advance, if this derails this thread at all.)

You mean why can't we flash ROMs with S-ON! Because this means security on. Basically HTC went and locked their bootloader on most earlier devices and therefore they cannot be hacked. The AlphaRev team have successfully managed to develop a tool to achieve this and enable users to gain root access, install ClockWorkMod recovery (a way of installing custom ROMs and also taking a snap shot of ur current ROM is you mess up and need something to go back to) custom themes etc, etc.
HTC have apparently learnt the error of their ways and promised not to lock the bootloaders in their newer shipped models, however they don't particularly like us messing around with it hence voiding the warranty if you do this...but it is possible to go back to S-ON like nothing ever happened using AlphaRev.
Hope this answers your question, now stick to the topic....
Ha, only joking

Of course I know I need to e-off my device be4 roo/flash rom. What I want to know is : do I need to s-off before using rom manager.

ROM Manger needs root access, so yes you need S-OFF so you can root and install ROM Manager

Just unlocked bootloader through htcdev (Raider from Rogers)
This is my first android device so there was some hard time trying to figure stuff out. Somehow in the Hboot screen it still shows "s-on" even the highlighted pink area indeed says UNLOCKED.
oops sidetracked, good job, but I'm still holding on flash and rooting for a while until there is a decent level of development.

Can some please test the rom out? I don't have phone to do it with

thanks, i tried flashing the new file and i got this error in recovery (see attached photo)
tried downloading and installing again and got the same result

Hmmm... my update binary is wrong most likely. Are you using a HTC vivid or raider?
This rom will only work on a vivid and not raider.
If you have a raider please dump your system and boot.
