Question about installing more ROMS...

[Th3Ju99anaut]

So I installed CM7 this week....my question is what do I do now?

But also when I decide to flash another ROM do I run ODIN and revert everything back to stock and then re-root and reflash everything like I did before?

Or can I just download the unzipped ROM and just flash it?

Its a good idea to odin whenever you change ROMs. Just makes for a much cleaner install.

If you use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick ODIN, then yes, because you'll be reverted completely back to stock state (as it came out of the box in May).

However, there are other versions of ODIN on XDA - Heimdall being one. For that one, the reverting process already has root on it (I believe), just check the descriptions.

Do these other versions of Odin flash roms for you? Or do you still have to reboot in recovery and go through all the mumbo jumbo?

I've never installed a rom through oden. I've always flashed from recovery and honestly, that seems like it would be the easiest method. I've used 5 different roms and I've never seen any instructions for I stalling any of them through oden.
