Edit - Or did I miss the obvious and should I launch the install from the SD via browsing to it with a file manager?

Download the Kitchen, and do the Auto-Root feature (if you haven't rooted already, which it sounds like you haven't).
After the auto root, the phone should reboot you into the RA recovery menu. You can do a backup here.
You can then grab the Fresh rom you want, and put it on your SD card.
You will perform a wipe from the RA menu, and after the wipe, select the rom you want to load.
Then, just wait.

Thanks! I did root (or so I thought) but I will give this another shot.

Will it hurt to run the rooter on a non-stock ROM? I am running the 2.1 recently leaked ROM: Build 2.20.651.1 CL157175 test-keys

[tokuzumi]

It shouldn't hurt, although, if you are running a leaked rom, you have already rooted.

[Mr.Gadget]

So, ran this with my sd card containing the zip file installed.
After running the root step (none of the RA options chosen), the phone boots to a red exclamation point... Doht!

[Mr.Gadget]

Rebooted by popping battery and I am back to the leaked ROM.
Maybe I will try flashing back to stock and going from there?
To get to the leaked ROM, I just ran an RUU but Fresh doesn't appear to have that easy option. So, what am I missing? It must be something simple. Thanks again.

You need to make sure you have super user (SU) access on your phone. When I ran the auto-rooter in the Flipz Kitchen, when the phone rebooted, I was put into the RA menu, with the options to wipe my phone, create partitions on the SD card, make/restore from nandroid backup, load rom from SD card, etc.

Make sure before you wipe before flashing a new ROM (sounds like you didn't do that, and that's why you saw the red "!")!!! I didn't do this, and my phone was stuck at the first HTC screen for a half hour. That was my only issue. But once I resolved that issue, I was good to go.

[Mr.Gadget]

Maybe I am having a different issue then. When I choose to wipe, I never get an option asking to install a ROM. Maybe I have my sd card setup incorrectly? Its as if it doesn't look or doesn't see the zipped Fresh ROM. Also, I was unable to complete the stock ROM RUU. I'm virtually stuck on the leaked ROM.
What should I consider step 1 so I can go back?

When I go into RA Recovery (when the phone is off, hold down Home, and press power), I have a list of options

- Reboot System Now
- USB-MS toggle
- Backup/Restore
- Flash Zip from sdcard
- Wipe
- Partition sdcard
- Other
- Power Off

Obviously, I went into the Wipe menu, and selected the first option, Wipe data/factory reset. I selected the back button to return to the main menu.

Next, I went into the Flash zip from sdcard option, where it showed me all my available zip files. I just selected the one I wanted, and pressed the trackball in. I think it says to press home to confirm.

What options do you get when the phone is off, and you hold down home, and press power?

[Mr.Gadget]
