Correct. Use the unlocker, after you establish an USB active sync to your computer.

the reset button is the little 'dot' next to your SD card that you press in with your stylus. it's how you do a soft reset.. the 2 softkeys are the keys that coorespond to your 'Contacts' and the other menu option on the right bottom of the screen (forget what the stock menu option is)

the directions really seem to be clear on this but still dont understand what this step is for.....
that is basically in there for good measure, if you'd like to VIEW your current MSL ID #'s and other junk like that. i skipped it.. when you do the over the air programming once the new rom is installed, these settings should be automatically restored for you.

Once the Rom has been installed and the RUU program is finished, the phone will automatically reboot itself.. don't decide to run for coffee at this point. you must stay there with your phone.. it will boot to the 'Welcome' screen.. where you will enter in the current time and date, as well as align the screen with stylus taps.
then it will in pretty short order say 'Begin customization in 3 seconds' or something like that. SOFT RESET THE PHONE when you see that message box. do NOT let the customizations run..
once you soft reset, and the phone boots back up, you are done.

Well, you are going to need the DCD kitchen, to load his rom.
You should be able to pick it up directly, here.


good luck.. click my profile to find other posts from me, i've uploaded a pdf doc with screen prints of a kitchen and bootloader process, so you can get an idea of what it's supposed to look like.
