I've watched a couple videos on flashing roms and seen a few different ways and now I'm kind of confused. I have downloaded the sample deodexed rom from the top of the first page here The first video I watched, showed him unzipping it on the computer, before transferring to the nandroid folder of the sd card. So that's what I did. The next 2 vids I watched, they put the zip file right on the sd card and did some sort of wipe and partition, then unzipped it in recovery mode. Now I'm not feeling too confident and afraid of making a brick.
I was ready to go for it and chickened out. I went into recovery mode and selected nandroid restore and it gave me the 2 folders as options, the nandroid backup i made, and the folder with the deodexed rom, i selected it and then it wanted me to select one of the files inside, 3 of which were folders, the first was the .img file. I was going to select that one.
Edit: I tried loading the uncompressed zip folder right onto the root of the SD card, I can see it along with the other zip files that I had to unzip for the recovery image, but when I go into recovery mood and try to unzip those files, I can only see all the folders on the sdcard, when I get to the bottom the last folder, it doesn't show all the zip files below that. I have no idea where to go from here.
If you guys can give me some guidance at this point, I will go for it. Thanks.
Mike
