Root Help please with rooting and roms

[steveean]

Please help I have a hero on orange. I have managed to root the phone and can download root apps etc.

I am struggling to get a new rom ( can anyone recommend) downloaded. i have installed an app called "rom manager" which gives me the option to install rom from SD card. I have or think i have a villian 10 rom in zip format which i have on the root of my SD card.

It is recognised when I search on rom manager gives me 2 options to backup and wip/clear cache and says press ok to complete install.

I press ok and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? should the rom file be zipped and if not can anyone give me a few short steps from here??

The best way is to bin of rom manager, and use flashrec to install the Amron recovery image, and then use the new recovery image ti install your ROM

ROM here VillainROM Forums • View topic - [ROM] VillainROM 10.0 - Official 2.1 GSM Hero Base

Read the tutorial at the top for install ing the recovery image
