do i need to downgrade my phone?
no...you don't have to...
if manage to put custom rom on my phone, can i still buy apps from market?
no ur version is 2.2.1 u cant root it using z4root
use gingerbreak instead it'll root ur cell phone and flash a custom recovery and choose a rom which ever u like and u r good to go..
and when ever u need to un root ur device just flash another froyo rom and use z4root to unroot it
simple.!!!
to make it more easy make a nand backup of an unrooted froyo app if u need it so hard....
but again to change ur rom from unrooted froyo rom u need to root again ur phone

Yes you can. The market is linked with your google account and it is not dependant on the ROM or phone.
z4root always force close

The error message is perfectly fine and I get it all the time. To scroll the options in the recovery menu, use the volume up and down button. To select an option, press the 'Menu' button and the 'back' button is to go to previous screen/cancel a task.
Hope this helps.
thank you everyone. just rooted and install custom recovery
is there rom that will only need 2gb SDcard?
i just want a rom that will fix my laggy screen when playing games, texting and while browsing. i saw Megatron v1 but it needs class 4 SD.

Use any rom that doesn't have darktremor's a2sd, for example, openOptimus, devoid, void #forever, CM7 etc.

I have a rooted hero but when i turn it off and go to turn it on holding power and home i get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a "!" in it does this mean im not rooted even though i can use wireless tether and other root apps. Am aldo wondering if someone could point me to a fast android 2.3 custom rom that would look nice thanks

You need a custom recovery image download rom manager and flash the clockworkmod that way
I have done that, pressed the power and home button did a back up and rebooted the phone. Just to nake sure its working i pressed the home and power buttons again and got the red triangle screen again

Have another go at pushing the recovery image to your phone and try again.
Elelinux 7.0.0 is a nice GB rom... tweak the cpu speed n it will run fine.

If thats the only option on the screen, maybe your recovery image is corrupt, your using clockwork right?
I use AmonRA recovery, follow the 'root and recovery' section of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Its easier than it sounds, You cant use Rom manager with this recovery image tho, you will have to download your roms manually and put them in the root folder of your SD card. (roms and updates come as a zip file)
Follow the instructions for the roms you want to flash, each has slightly different prerequisites i.e wiping different parts of your phones memory.
take care, have fun...
yep, i had the same issue 2 days ago, your customer recovery isn't working, and the home+power is taking you to the base one.
FINALLY WORKED FOR ME!!!!!
Used ROM manager to flash amonra recovery and did a custom rom flash straight away, then it has worked happily since
Running Elelinux 7.0.0 atm looks really cool

1) If you are rooted, boot into CWM and fix permissions.
2) If this doesnt work, flash a new ROM.

You really installed an application with this as description Find all the great bars, clubs of Tel Aviv. Use our restaurant guide and enjoy our Tel Aviv event guide, and this permission Services that cost you money, directly call phone numbers, Allows the application to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious applications may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill..
Judging by the "developer's" other applications, and the reviews they got, I'd recommend getting rid of that ASAP.
I did got rid of it... now causing me troubles.. i need to flash new rom to fix tis ??

I did...tried to download the latest CWM from there...and flash it using ROM manager, but it seems to give some sort of error .....
opening package....
then...file not found or something....
BTW just having ROM manager setup to use recovery enough? I do have the normal reboot into recovery options etc (long press of power button)...
Also when I open the ROM manager, i get a message saying there is an update available for clockworkmod recovery...i press ok and nothing happens...dont know how to update it....
Maybe a bad download. Did you try downloading it a second time and trying?
As far as possible, stick to using the long-press power method to get into recovery. And do you have a custom kernel? Even most ROMs now give you the option to install a kernel which comes with an inbuilt version of CWM recovery. So unless you're using a really outdated version of CWM, don't worry about upgrading it.

:good:
Am using the the supernexus JB build 4 along with its custom kernel which doesnt have CWM recovery...
Was earlier on AOKP JB with Siyah kernel which had the CWM built in like you said....
But i guess i am losing no functionality by not upgrading so its fine I guess like you said....as long as I can make back-ups and restore them and flash new stuff....
BTW I did download more than once (tried both touch version and non touch versions...so guess not an issue with the download)....
Why does the Nexus 10 not have a Reboot option when I long press the power button?
My N10 is rooted but stock. Other than flashing a custom ROM is there a way to add a reboot option?

Unless somone makes a flashable zip, currently no. Until I flashed a custom rom I used terminal emulator for 'su' then 'reboot'.
A lot more work but it gets the job done.

+1 for this. I use it and it works great. You can add an application shortcut on one of your homescreens to reboot, reboot to bootloader or reboot to recovery.
Have u tried to hold the power button when u are on lockscreen until the display is off ?

This ROM can be flashed over the top of your current, and has the options you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043633

Appreciate all the suggestions. Thanks guys.

Stock Nexus ROMs never had a reboot option. You can only get it via a ROM or some mod.
There is a reboot option on stock. You need to press and hold power button for about 6 seconds.

I meant in the power menu. Is that method a safe method? I feel like it's the same as holding the power button for 10 seconds on a PC. It turns off but it doesn't save anything.
It is the same only without a widget or something else xd

Clockworkmod recovery is pretty typical. All you have to do with those are put the .zip on your device, enter recovery, and browser to it.

hmm do you mean like starting the device by pressing Home+Volume up+Power button? I had done that, but it didn't work. The device did not find the zip file on the sd-card although I had put it in main folder, also tried it by putting it in a new folder as well. Any idea?

You have stock recovery, you need to Flash a custom one like clockworkmod to be able to take nandroid backups and flash roms.
If you are on cwm, then just choose the install zip from sd card option and browse for your zip..

if you boot your device into recovery mode (power + volume up), does it say CWM recovery 5.x.x.x?
if it does, then you have a custom kernel.
if not, flash a custom kernel. use rj's kernel if you have a physical home button or entropy's kernel if you have a capacitative home button.
If you really want to see a drastic difference difference, try cm 10 or ParanoidAndroid.

To flash any of these roms, just copy the appropriate zip to your internal storage and reboot into recovery.
Then:
1. Wipe Data/Factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Install zip > from internal sd card
5. wait and enjoy.
