Root [CDMA] newb here, need help...

[jg21jon]

So I just rooted my phone which had hboot 1.58 and have s-off now ...... I have been reading on how to flash new roms and am a little confused. Do I need to flash via hboot and flash from zip through the phone or does this need to be done via mini-adb which was used to root ??? Also what is a recommended stable ROM for hboot 1.58 ???
Thanks in advance and im sorry if i over looked something in previous threads.

if you are s-off you dont need any special procedures,just boot to your permanent recovery and flash

at this point,you dont really need to change your hboot,id leave it alone for now.

my 3d is gsm,so ill let one of the others reccomend a rom for you.

just holler if youve other questions

Ok I figured it out thanks so much. I installed 4ext recovery and that helped. For some reason when I would try and go into recovery and flash the ROM I was bootlooping. Might have been the ROM I guess.... Working now, thanks again.

awsome,glad you got it working :smokingsomb:

you may have had a simple firmware incompatibility issue. alot of roms for this device require certain hboots.

I recommend Jounutpunt 1.50.5050 h.boot.
It's perfect for AOSP/AOKP/CM Rom Builds.
Just remember after you finish flashing this bootloader remove it off SD card.
S-off Required!!!!
Dev-Host - 1.50.5050 h.boot.zip - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service

I appreciated devs hard work.
Thanks, guys for y'all hard work.
