I have completed everything down to the hard reset. I never get an option for flashing the new ROM though.
I reformatted my SD card (original 2GB) and retried, but no luck. On RA, I get the Clear Storage option only. I also retried reformatting in FAT32 which makes the card faster, but does not change my options on RA. I do have the zip file on the root of the sd card as well. Think it is the way my card is formatted?
I am running the "leaked" 2.x ROM
Here is my RA screen if it helps:
