Looks good. Now that you have that rom installed, make a backup. Just to make sure you dont loose all your hard work. You can never have too many backups.

Thanks Droid Does...I installed it, but I'm not sure what it did? Should I use Rom Manager for "backup current rom"?

Its a Wireless Tether app that I themed :)
No, you can actually uninstall RM now. Make your backup in CW like you did before flashing the ROM. They're saved to your sd card in /sd/clockworkmod as dates.

Hey Droid Does...I have everything running good, except I noticed my wi-fi is not working. It will not scan for networks, just says connecting and never connects. It was working before. I just noticed it today. Any advise?

I just called verizon and they walked me through and got it working again. I can go over what they did if you can't get it fixed. However, I'm leaving right now and won't be back for about 2 hours. Let me know if you still need help.

I had the same problem. Try going to ROM Manager and click on either Install ROM from SD Card or Download ROM -- I forget which one. I don't think you even need to go a step further than pressing one of those -- it triggered something in my phone that fully installed the recovery utility to the phone. Next time I rebooted, I was able to get into recovery.

Wish I could remember which one it was, but try it and see if it prompts you to correct anything or download any updates that will flash the recovery to your phone. You shouldn't have to do anything dangerous (don't worry).

Tried clicking both of those. Still no luck. I also tried flashing older versions of rom manager and it came up with the same error message cleave got when he tried it.

Forgot, I also did "Fix Permissions" and let it run, then rebooted, reinstalled ROM Manager, then did the update...

(sorry -- forgot about the fix permissions part)
