[Q] root and android 2.3 roms

---

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.

I have tried that, same problem one back up then doesnt work
Is there annother way to put recovery one it ?

Thanks for that rom tho looks nice when it works gonna give it a bash

Try pressing up volume and power or down volume and power because I don't remember which on because I think that how to get off the screen with the triangle

Got a menu that says apply sd card update.zip

What does that mean ??

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
