Re: Android 2.3 Gingerbread EH05 latest build
okay so what is flashing roms? I so need the big tutorial.
Ted, it first starts with rooting your device.
[INFO]
[MOD][One Click Root]ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1[RFS & EXT4]
[NOTE]Take the time to read it, download the rooting application for your computer and get rooted with CWM (ClockWorkMod) installed. ClockworkMod is what we use to flash ROMs/themes/kernels/misc apps,etc..
Ted, here is a very nice video done by qbking77 that has done so many other helpful videos, which will show you exactly how this whole rooting process is performed.

Once you complete that step you can pick out your ROM of choice and follow the ROMs instructions to flash.

[NOTE]Quick notes:
[WARN]When attempting to root, make sure your anti virus apps on your computer are disabled during the process of downloading the app all the way through to finishing rooting (takes a few minutes to actually run the root pgm). Otherwise it will recognize a file called "rageagainstthecage" which will be removed as an exploit/trojan horse/virus which IT IS NOT. Its being treated this way by anti virus because it is an exploit, but it is needed to root your device. Trust me it will not infect your computer and do any harmful damage. [/WARN]
Once you complete the rooting process, booting into CWM is performed by doing the following.
Power down completely. Then once off, press and hold "Volume Down + Camera + Power " for until your device boots into a black screen with purple print. Congrats your now in CWM. This is where the fun begins...
Much of this is explained in the ROM threads and the rooting thread. Any other question you need answered please Ted, just ask.
If you check the thread below qbking77 that provided the excellent video above also has a whole series on flashing ROMs, and themes, etc. so you can follow step by step of how it is exactly done.
