After flashing the new firmware, what you need to do is take your battery out, connect your sd card to your laptop and delete the firmware file on your sd card. then you can put in the sd card, and proceed with flashing ARHD.

No. Try this:

"Remove the sd card from the phone
Hold volume-down + power to boot into bootloader.
Wait 10 seconds until the bootloader is fully loaded
Now your bootloader screen should read:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-xx.xx.xxxx.xxx
Insert the sd card now
Navigate with the volume button and select recovery with the power button
Wait for the recovery to boot
You are good to go, now you can flash the ROM.
Delete the PM58IMG.zip file from your sd card using your preferred file manager as soon as your phone has booted succesfully. You won't be able to boot into recovery normally until you delete this file. As a workaround use this method to enter into recovery mode."

so i really can't access my phone until i have flashed the ARHD. am i correct on this?

Click on the guide in my signature, Of course since you have already rooted you can skip the first few parts.
You should be able to use it, but you have to remember the first boatload usually takes 5-10 minutes.. have you tried waiting that long? and for me it is recommended that you flash ARHD before trying to use the phone. Since it is your first time, a Full wipe is recommended.

i did not take it out of the sd card. however, i downloaded one app, temple run, and my stats were still there, the top score, the multiplier and others.

also, are you experiencing slow internet browsing. mine seems to be crappy

Where do you find the "manage application" in arhd 6.6.3?

is it okay to add the sony bravia engine support?

You could but I'm not sure what the difference is so I just said no to that, as for the file explore, its called esfile.. and the browser, use maxthon browser which comes with arhd.:) hope you enjoy your new ROM.. and trust me when I say this..the battery is just superb on this Rom! Cheers~

I just decided not to dwell on fact that i lost the backup of all my user apps and all apk in my sd card. I must agree with you on this, rom is solid. Like it. Very fast.

Just one problem. The phone just heats up. Lower left portion of thd phone mostly. This happens even when i'm not playing anygames. Have read some thread here but would like to ask you if you've seem a more helpful thread or if you might have idea on have to address this.
Thank you in advance.

If i were you, i would just go straight to the source.. Go to the ARHD thread.. There are many helpful members there that are have a lot more knowledge about these things than i do:) glad you enjoy the ROM btw.

    Okay. Been reading most of the thread here and thinking of just flashing the latest ARHD Rom. Almost all are comments are positive. I'm still noob in flashing. Given my current rom details above, how would i flash ARHD?

    Those details won't suffice to determine what you need for flashing ARHD ...
    As you are running custom Rom I can say that you are soff...but to be sure can you post a screen shot of your bootloader that would be pretty helpful.

    Also post your cid ...this you can get it by fastboot command
    "fastboot getvar cid"
    (Assuming you have fastboot/adb setup)

    Also there is the best noob proof guide for flashing ARHD...chk that then you can flash any custom Rom easily

    Here is the link to guide
