Need lots of help with installing rom wrong

[AsianHTCHero]

After rooting my phone and back up my files I downloaded the files from http://androidforums.com/sprint-her...d-v0-9-9-2-aosp-2-2-1-froyo-12-10-2010-a.html. Went to rom manager, install from sd card, chosed aospMod-v0.9.9.2-signed, wipe date and cache, reboot. I'm pretty sure I did it all wrong. I now only have basic apps on my phone. I don't have rom manager anymore and android market. Can anyone tell me how to make my phone right?

did you install the gapps?(rom manager u have to redownload) *gapps for aosp 2.2.1 will only have market* nothing went wrong from flashing, but recovery is more reliable. you probobly didnt flash the gapps

Yeah I did not do that, I thought I was supposed to do itafter. How do I install rom manager now? I have no android market.

 

[boblo]

did you do a nandroid backup?(this is where recovery comes in handy as 2 things can be flashed at a time before rebooting, not one)

 

[boblo]

if you did, go back, at the top of rom manager, flash clockworkmod recov, reboot into recovery, install 2.2.1(aosp) and gapps then reboot

I did do a backup. but I dont have rom manager or android market anymore. how do i get those back?

 

[boblo]

well, normally there would be two options, but since you didnt flash recovery, do THIS
1.) go to the internet for rom manager
2.) download it
3.) flash recovery at the top of rom manager
4.) reboot into recov (turn off phone and hold home+power)
5.) flash aosp and market
6.) download rom manager from market

 

[AsianHTCHero]

how do i go about downloading it and installing it onto my phone? sorry all newbie/stupid questions.

 

[boblo]

1.)google
2.) download
3.) click the download
4.) its gonna block you so click settings then unkown sources then ok(one time thing)
5.) sry! click the download again and click install (if you lost the download, in the browser press menu(button), more, then downloads

 

[AsianHTCHero]

found it! but it says I cant download it because I dont have the andoid market installed -_-. Okay how do i go about installing the android market into my phone?

 

[boblo]

go to ROM Manager 2.5.0.4.apk - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
this SHOULD work, once again, this SHOULD i do not hold accountable if you brick your phone for it MIGHT be risky idk?

Download this straight to your phone from your browser

Turn off phone, hold volume down and hit power

Press home for recovery

Go to 'install zip from sd card'

Go to your downloads folder and find the 12/13 gapps zip

Press to flash to install

Then reboot

Do you still need assistance at all? I can take a few minutes and help you out interactively on the IRC channel and then report back here what was accomplished.

Just go here and look for my user name: Android Forums .

I Private Messaged you another link to the IRC channel. Give that one a try.

Just be sure to put #androidforums for the channel name. I will see you there.

 

[DonB]

You don't need that , simply flash the GB Rom and the new Gapps, but before you do anything make sure you create a Nandroid backup of your current Rom for safe keeping incase you mess anything up.

I got it covered. I just walked him through making a Nandroid backup, wiping everything, flashing AOSP Android 2.3, and the GApps.

He should be all set now. Good stuff.

K, about time you took over, LOL

Hey! I pull my weight around here.

Unfortunately, right now, I am having issues connecting to the IRC channel, so I cannot help him with the GApps issue he is having. I will post in the other thread!
