you need to download droid x/2 bootstrapper from the market
$2.99 <-- you need it or you cannot install custom roms

open droid x/2 bootstrapper hit bootstrap recovery
allow super user access
hit ok for success
hit reboot recovery
scroll with volume rockers to wipe data/factory reset
select it with the camera button, then confirm it
scroll with volume rockers to wipe cache partition
select it with the camera button, then confirm it
scroll with volume rockers to install zip from sd card, or something like that
scroll to choose zip from sd card
find the rom you downloaded
install the rom
once install is finished, hit your back button
then reboot the phone.


your done.


any other questions let us know

Put the ROM.zip file that you want to install on the root of your SD Card (main SD CARD directory, not in a folder)

I can make you one up... but you have to be premium to add a graphic to your signature, even if you are a guide.

I actually put mine in a folder I called "AA ROMs". The "AA" puts it at the top of the list when navigating in recovery.

for the most part yes. Just always be sure to read the Instructions for each Rom.
