Instructions:
Ready? Here we go! Veteran users probably won't need to read all of the steps.

Step 1: Power off your phone.
Step 2: Press and hold volume down while powering on the phone to get to Recovery..
Step 3: Please please please nandroid!
Step 4: Mount USB Storage (while in recovery)
Step 5: Download and put the ROM on your memory card: ROM
Step 6: Download put the following kernel on your memory card: Deca's #43 Kernel Note: This is the CFS version, the Brainfuct version has too much instability with the GPS for my liking.
Step 6: Wipe/Factory Reset (I strongly suggest this)
Step 7: Flash the ROM you downloaded.
Step 8: Without leaving the recovery menu, proceed to flash the kernel as well.
Step 9: Reboot, setup, and enjoy.


Step 4: how do i mount storage while in recovery... i tried plugging usb in and it did not show up under computer where i see harddrives ????

Download the rom directly to your phone, then it will be in your downloads folder on your sd card. Same for the kernel but I would recommend Deca's latest kernel http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/DecaFuct-12222010.zip
