Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!

[neodorian]

Somehow I've managed to go all this time without ever cooking my own ROM. Today was slow at work so I had a go but when the RUU started, it said it couldn't find the cooked ROM and exited.

edit: I'm pretty sure it's my fault. My work sets the computers up so that "Documents and Settings" is on a remote drive and the kitchen saves there but I guess the RUU can't access it. Any way to change the directory where all of this takes place?

edit 2: Well, I just moved the whole output folder to the desktop and the cooked ROM was (theoretically) still in it. I'm running the RUU now and if it doesn't work I will just mess with it at home later.
