Root Virgin Rooter

Hello guys, Ive rooted my phone with revelutionary and its on gingerbread 2.3.3 which I find is very unstable with a few crashes every now and then.

Can anybody recommend any roms for me to try?

I like the sense and maybe was wondering if any are out with the 3.0 or 3.5 for this phone or any good alternatives to get the best out of it.

Thanks

Simon
 
i think generally for sense ROMS, people rate Teppics and LeeDroid ROMS as the best, Just make sure that you Wipe/factory reset from your recovery before you install the new ROM, Also, Nandroid backup, don't forget that.
 
Ok guys having spent a few days trying this, I have learnt my lesson and i forgot to back up before trying a new rom and its now stuck at the htc white start up screen. I have 4ext installed but obvoisly no back ups. Is there anyway to get the phone working again?

Ok Ive formatted and wiped, created ext4 partition and put in runnymede and blissymede and installed and with all the roms i have tried they either get stuck at the htc white screen or they get stuck in reboot loop.
 
Are you doing a full factory reset before installing the roms? Are you downloading the stock hboot versions if you are still on the stock hboot? did you validate your ext partitionw as working before flashign anything?

Also, have you read our FAQ's in the root forum? If not, please do.
 
My HBoot says HBOOT-6.93.1002
I believe I am doing a factory reset.
And partition was validated and aligned.
 
I just looked at these roms, Are you doing a full wipe first from recovery? Also are you downloading the correct version? Ie the stock hboot version? (i take it you have stock hboot?) When flashing a rom the first boot can take up to 10 mins.
 
Ok so my screen says
bravo pvt3 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
microp-051d
touch panel-synw0101
radio-5.17.05.23

Is this stock or not?
 
Yes, you are stock. You would have yo be s-off your change hboot.

Edit, scrap that, just seen your s-off.

Get quick system info from market and see if it says system storage 250mb, if it does, you are stock, or look in about phone settings, storage, if phone memory is 147mb you have stock
 
So for example is I want to install cool3d sense 3.5 it says
Stock Hboot users flash Stock_Hboot.zip after installing the Rom.zip

So this means after installing the rom i go into 4ext again and then install the stock hboot.zip?

Am I correct in saying this?

Thanks guys.
