i really thought i had my form down for a basic roll (R shoulder to L hip) but when i tried to do it on a hard surface i smashed my left hip bone against pavement and bruised my hip...i then tried it again much more softly and slowly and i still found i was hitting my hip...what do you think is the problem?

well that all depends are you hitting it hard on the ground causing loss of momentum or are you getting hurt without loosing momentum?
With: tuck harder
without: u could be rolling a little to far on your side, on the edge of the hip bone.
there is no magic tip I can give, just adjust, play around with it untill it feels smooth and don't hurt.

Everyone does rolls slightly different so just mess with it until it feels right. Rolls should NEVER hurt, they are meant to be smooth transitions and prevent you from getting hurt after a landing.

Try lying on your back and tuck your arms and legs as if you're in transition state of roll. Think of how you come out of the roll while rocking forward to get up. How does your back touch the ground and which specific part of your body touches the ground before you come out of the roll (is it your hip bone, hip, butt, side or any specific part)? Try to figure out which angle you come out of the roll is optimal for you that won't hurt your hip bone. Then practice the one angle that does not give you any pain.

yeah the same thing would happen to me until i was able to do my rolls exactly the same way about 200 times
the thing i found that was causing this to happen was that i was not tucking hard enough. by this i mean i wasn't tucking my right shoulder hard enough (if your going left to right it would be your left shoulder). you really have to emphasize it and try to almost reach your opposite foot with your shoulder. it makes it much smoother i have found

There are no shortcuts. You're just going to have to drill your rolls on softer surfaces many many times until you get it.
It took me almost a year and a half to get comfortable with rolls on concrete. So just keep working on it.
