Looking to root and flash a rom

[krazzyjman]

Ok, and I think this is the last question. Do I reboot recovery or bootstrap recovery?

Bootstrap first the it will say success then recovery. Then go down to backup/restore and that's how u make the back up.

Let it finish. Then wipe cache and data and you're ready to flash your first rom.

Ok, and it says to make sure I have clockworks recovery installed, am I fine with just bootstrapper installed?

 

[ultrastigi]

That is clockwork recovery.

oh ok lol thanks. Where do I go to clear cache and data?

 

[krazzyjman]

Is it the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in clockwork recovery?

 

[ultrastigi]

Ok, I wiped all the data before downloading that rom..... Can I just reroot redownload bootstrapper, download the rom then redo from there?

 

[krazzyjman]

Do I have to backup again too?

You have to have the rom on your SD card before you do all that. Sorry I thought toy knew that.

Have the rom on your card and then you backup and then wipe everything. Then flash the rom.

After you install the rom you don't backup again you just reboot the device through bootstrap. It will take a while for it to boot. If its more than 1p mins then there was a problem.

No don't back up after wiping. You backup then wipe then flash. That order.
