Put the ROM file on your sd card
Boot into recovery and chose flash zip from sd card or something like that.

Can you post a link to a rom?
As a hypothetical, (i'll let you know if this actually happens), if i cant install the rom then am i totally screwed?

Oh, you mean Stock Recovery. Stock Recovery won't allow flashing of a custom rom. If you have an update.zip of the stock rom, then you could flash it. You have to use a custom recovery e.g ClockworkMod Recovery to flash a custom rom.

I think your downloaded ROM is corrupted. What ROM you are trying to install?
There are only 2 ways I think.
- Install stock .ftf with flashtool
- Redownload the rom, and put it again to your sdcard (of course you need a card reader for it)
Just an advice, it is better if you create a CWM backup before flash a new ROM.

Provided you've got the cable for the phone you can also do it with adb:
Adb push "C:\temp\MyRom.zip" /sdcard/
But you'll need to go have a google for how to set up ADB - the drivers should be in the "PC Companion" software for SE phones.

Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked and that your flashing gsm ROMS meant for the dream not the cdma version of the g1.

In order to flash custom ROMS your devices bootloader must be unlocked. By default the g1 ships with a locked bootloader that prevents you from installing custom ROMS. You can go to htcdev.com/bootloader select HTC dream from the device list and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any more questions.

But I dont think that thats the problem, becouse I already have instaled ROM for two times
O and how can I unlock the bootloader when in instuction says to do few steps on phone, but i cant turn on my phone! ;(

I would also suggest try reformatting your SD card, then putting a ROM on the SD card that you know is compatible with your phone and has worked for you in the past and flash that.
Didnt work
So, will anybody help me?
At this stage I would recommend that you try and re flash your device back to stock, by installing the stock ROM that it shipped with from the factory. By doing this you will have a clean slate to start from and can then try to root the device and flash a custom ROM after that.

Follow this guide found here, start with the section: Downgrading the Firmware. After you have done that move onto the section Rooting the HTC Dream, then once you have completed that section move onto Installing a Custom Recovery Image and Amon_Ra's Recovery: Recommended. After you complete these steps you will be ready to flash a custom ROM, here is how to flash Cyanogenmod 6 for the HTC Deam. Let me know if you still have questions .

Hi guys, help please!!
Im using a samsung galaxy s2
I am a complete novice.
I was trying to gain root access. but before that i had to install an insecure kernel, I think i chose a bad 1 as i don't know what im doing Kernel_I9100XWLP4_INSECURE.tar is the kernel and when it wont reboot, just shows the start up screen then goes blank, i then tried to install secure kernel Kernel_I9100XWLP4.tar to see if it would fix it but same problem.
Does any 1 fancy holding my hand through the stages to fix my phone please?

Okay first read what I wrote there earlier:

And then tell me if u can get to recovery? Maybe your bad kernel still brought cwm on your phone, if so you can flash a new rom with good kernel via recovery.
It's also important which model of phone u have, international or something like that

If so maybe you can use it to pull the build.prop. Then you would know.
You where on official software? Updated by kies?

Volume down is download mode.
Hold menu, power and volume up at the same time.
If you have a custom recovery (likw cwm ClockWorkMod) then you would be able to flash a dorimanx kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219) I would download a 7.x version (newest) and flash it through cwm. Or, of course, if you want a different rom then flash the rom like Muthzer the One said.

superuser is something else then CWM. Superuser is often needed to give root access to apps.
When your in recovery, what does it say on the first line? Maybe Android recovery system or ClockWorkMod, something like that.

You must not unzip it. Just download it and leave it as it is. Odin needs the tar file.
