HOW-TO * Flash the Eng-Release to the Slide

This is not meant to be an everyday Rom!! It's only Vital for the testkey in recovery that gets flashed!!

Flash this, update the Radio & flash to a new Rom like Slidemeroot2.zip

The only thing we need is the Recovery from it.

Also this should be Sticky atm, as this is the only way as of now to flash a recovery!

The Recovery gives use the abilty to flash any update.zip after it is signed with testkeys... But we are using ClockworkMod Recovery due to options it has..

Hey Eugene, I have gotten all the way up to step 10 here. When I power the phone on into the bootloader do I need to pick recovery? I have tried that and there's no way to flash this new zip. Is clockworkmod supposed to still be on here? Thanks.


Nevermind. I stupidly forgot to put the .zip on the sdcard. ~facepalm~
