Question here, need advice

I have a question that bothering me front and back.
Ok i have an himalaya and I flash the latest 6.5 rom, and it was exactly what it's after it flashed completely.
When i want to draw back to the 6.1 rom, which with a mode sms (i used before) and the mode sms is not working after all. After that i found that flash rom in the bootloader mode, only overwriting the rom and it's not remove all roms and install in a clean and clear new version of the rom.
Can it be "format" completely before i want to flash the new roms?

do you choose the format storage and reg hive after the rom install
as all flashing guides describe ?

yeah it's truely what i want. Thanks man!!!

Flash radio or rom first ?

Hi there, ive just rooted my phone on rc29 with radio 1.22.12.29.
now i wish to install the jf1.51adp rom but i was wondering if i should update the radio before or after flashing the rom.
Ive searched around and googled, but some said Rom first while some said Radio first. Im confused
pls help

You can just flash the ROM. You don't need the radio for jfadp1.5

I also had this same question, and would like to ask if the answer is the same in every situation?
I.e. one does not need to think about the order of flashing radio or ROM first. Am I correct?
(I was wondering this while trying to instal this Android Revolution HD ROM)

Usually you should flash radio&spl before the rom,but it depends on the roms you wanna flash.
If the roms need new radio&spl,flash them first.If not,just flash the roms.
It's just my opinion.

Thanks for your answer. I flashed the radio first and then the ROM, and in my case everything worked fine.

glad to help.
I am a rookie too

can this brick my phone?

If i decide to flash a new kernel or a new ROM or something like that..
can that brick my phone, or will I still be able to get back to the recovery menu if it fails really bad.
(Im not talking about wildpuzzlerom now..)

If another custom rom came you on the market, yes you can still go in to recovery and reflash another rom if it fails.
(if that custom rom maker dident include anything stupid as faulty radio or a new unlocked recovery)

It should be ok and you can always restore from a nandroid backup

[Q] Flashing HTC ROM

I dunno if this question has been posted before. But I'll go ahead anyway.
I'm using sp-froyo 2.2 ROM on my Tattoo. I want to flash back to the HTC ROM because it had better USB Tethering. Problem is the ROM Updating utility does not recognise my phone.
Can someone help me with this?
Thx in advance

Guess u have accidentally killed the pc sync app. Try restarting ur phone n then connect via HTC sync n flash. Let me know if this works, else I will suggest u another option

I suggest using HCDR.ROM. It's like stock, but with a few extras (like A2SD etc.)

Assuming you want the stock ROM

This should help you out. Check the section on downgrade without a PC. This procedure will unroot the phone.

I haven't tried any of your methods as of yet. I will do so in sometime. In the meanwhile, I moved the ROM update utility into my home computer which runs XP.
In this case, it detects my phone, says its erasing the data and tries to boot into bootloader. After that, it says that it cannot update. Any chance I can correct this instead of having to unroot the phone?

Flashing a stock ROM is going to unroot your phone

Better use this method if you want 100% original factory ROM:

Thanks everyone!
One other question, if I do that, the phone will be unrooted? And if I flash the phone with a custom rom, this will make my LG like out of the box and I wont have any problem with the warranty?
Thanks

not with a "custom rom" but a "Official rom" !!
If you reflsah an official rom, you won't have any problems with warranty.

Hi,
I think I didn't explain myselft.
My question is this:
I want to flash a custom rom. I use Rom Manager, install a recovery image and install a custom rom. so far so good.
But if I have a problem with my phone and I have to use the warranty. This way I loose the warranty.
But if I flash the official ROM, when I send the phone to the warranty, they can tell if I flashed a phone with a differente rom, if I rooted it? If I flash it will erase the recovery image, the root,everything? And I will not have any problem?
Thanks

As i wrote before, use THIS method. After this you'll have ORIGINAL STOCK ROM which was in your phone after unboxing. There will be no sign of rooting, custom ROM, etc.

as I already said, if you flash Official rom of you region (or operator) (with method 1 or method 2, no matter) you'll have no problem with warrenty

whew! this actually worked for me. after deleting some of default apps, i tried this method to recover them and now all stock apps are back. and the good thing is it did not erase the other apps and files that i personally installed. thanks mgregor!
