i have downloaded the flash_image.zip and extracted it to my sd card twice so i KNOW its there. i have done toast root and currently running Bugless 0.3 with latest ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager.
i have tried connecting as USB and HTC Sync and made sure SD card was mounted so what am i missing? i feel so dumb =(

Make sure the flash_image file is on your card, not the zipped folder.
EDIT:ALSO make sure the file is named correctly.Make sure your typing the adb commands EXACTLY as outlined, don't copy/paste, sometimes you pick up an errant letter or symbol. Adb codes need to be entered one at a time.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled. Menu,settings,applications,development.
Watch the video, it helps. A lot.

1. What are the differences between the recovery modes (Ive seen Amon RA, clockwork mod)- are some built to be used on the phone by itself vs hooking it up to a pc and using adb?
2. When you flash a recovery mode I assume you are replacing the built in recovery mode (which is limited in functionality?) with the modded one?
3. What is the Dalvic cache? Is it important to clear this?
4. If things go wrong or you need to return your phone to sprint can you just hook your phone up to your computer and run the stock rom installer
5. Finally rom manager looks like it can do alot from within android itself- I assuming in order to use it you have to nand unlocked?
thanks in advance

1. Amon ra recovery is the recovery used in the full root process. Once completed we can boot into that recovery without a PC. Clockwork is similar but has slightly different functionality.
2. Yes
3. Best I can describe is its an area of data storage, exactly what, not positive. Yes, clear it.
EDIT: AS PER CYANOGEN :
"When Android starts up, the DalvikVM looks thru all of your applications (.apk files) and frameworks, and builds a tree of dependencies. It uses this dependency tree to optimize the bytecode for every application and stores it in the Dalvik cache. The applications are then run using the optimized bytecode. This is why when you install a new ROM, sometimes it takes a very long time to boot for the first time. Any time an application (or framework library) changes, it's reoptimized and the cache is updated."
4. Yes, there is a unroot, return to stock thread, look for my Sig its linked there.
5. No, ROM Manager can be used without full root.
