Root [CDMA] HBOOT 1.5 FLASH KERNELS IN RECOVERY (yes i said it right)

Oh no, I specifically flashed the ENG HBOOT just to make sure I couldn't upgrade by accident :p

Once this gets vetted for a week or two, I'll probably include it in my guide. But, personally, I kinda like flashing through fastboot. You can switch recoveries on a fly. Just type 'fastboot boot' and then whatever the recovery image is on your computer's HDD and your phone will boot any recovery you want without flashing it. It's really nice.

I cant remember where i read it. And dont get me wrong cause i have done the same thing. Theres have been times that the op would say use clockwork so i would do that since i run twrp. Anyway i read that doing that was hard on the recovery partition for some reason. Im gonna try to find the material ill post it if i can find it. You just reminded me though the eng hboot was on my to do list for this phone. :)
