Ultimately you'll have 2 different PC36IMG files.
The first one is for Rooting the phone in step 1.
The second one is for Unlocking the Nand Protection and getting Full Root access.

Download both and name the 1st one root-PC36IMG.zip then name the 2nd one eng-PC36IMG.zip that way you know what each one is for.

When you need to go into bootloader and actually load a particular file, rename it just say PC36IMG.zip, once you're done using it, name it back to the other name. The only time you actually drop the "root-" or "eng-" is when you need to use the file in bootloader.

yeah thats what I did but just to let you know that you did not mention that in your video, but its not thats big of a deal if you flash with the ROM manager that way you don't go back to the recovery loader, Imight be wrong but I was just checking

cant you just load the stock rom instead of doing a nada back up?
the nada backup is to only to keep from having to re-root right ??

Even if you dont rename it and DO go into hboot/bootloader/recovery loader and the file gets read we have a failsafe since it asks us if we want to continue the update. Just hit No if you have accidentally left the file on your card without renaming it.
I know since I did it.
I knew better but when I saw the zip being read I freaked.
Of course I just hit No to the 'continue update' question once it got there.
No harm, no foul.
Ultimately you're right, best to rename it or move it into a folder to prevent heart attacks.

The Nand backup is a COPY of whatever ROM you run it on, settings and all.
So once you finish the process all you do is restore it and you're back to where you left off without having to set up the ROM from fresh flash.

You COULD reflash a ROM but that'd be a pita imo. Nand backup/restore is the way to go.

If you are using Stock ROM, make sure you are using the rooted Stock ROM. Dont root and stay on the original ROM, very good chance of headaches.
If you are on non-rooted stock, I'd flash rooted stock, set THAT up, THEN run the Nand backup.

Hmm so if there is a stock rooted rom to get rooted why are people doing it the hard way with cmd codes?

and who makes a good rooted stock? and after rooted stock is used you can nada backup and load hacked rom?

You misunderstood me. The rooted Stock ROM is to use AFTER you obtain root. It does NOT give you root just simply by flashing it.

When you obtain root you want to run ROMs-Stock or Custom that were written to utilize root access. Everything just flows better that way.

Yes if you load the rooted Stock you can still back that up and flash yer brains out trying all the different custom ROMs that are cropping up almost daily at this point.

CHOICE IS GOOD

Grab the rooted stock ROM here:

This is the rooted Stock with the OTA already applied

Gotta ask-are you having issues? I tend to follow "if it ain't broke dont fix it."

Could you post where you saw discussion of the issue? Cant seem to find it.

Amon-ra gets a little upset after post #108 when someone asks him to fix his recovery.

im stuck at "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image"

it gives me an error saying "cat: can't open '/sdcard/flash_image'": no such file or directory

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 =(
