anyways..I believe theres a different set of drivers for the SDK for windows7..not sure..since i did my root in either winXP or a mac

follow this guide. It goes thru the ADB method with visual, i followed this guide...but since this was wayy back then..theres some updated files in there.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795

could be me..(most likely..from my half sober state) that the filename was incorrect when u tried to push recovery onto the phone..but it should be given that the file name replaces those Xs..

the RA ur running is hte latest one as well..shouldn't be a problem, im still on 1.8 or wutever the previous version of RAANOM is...

I find clockwork too dangerous to use.

once u push the recovery onto phone, boot it INTO recovery(there shoul dbe an option there to load into recover thru the bootloader screen) and DO A NANDBACKUP on r already customized rom.

you can go ahead to make an EXT3 or 4, but backup the memory card on a computer b4 atempting this..again..READ on ext3/4 and how it works iwth CM6.1.. ext3/4 is very sensitive to the rom itself and some might not support it

then flash CM6.1

He is recomending the 4.06 radio, but im on 5.06or whichever one was after and its fine.

as for kernals...
i can't stress this enough to all the people i've dealth with on the nexus..

READ THE GODDAMN THREAD FOR THE ROM AND KERNAL BEFORE FLASHING

a bad or incompatible kernal can do ALOT OF HARM to the phone..especially if ur planning on using apps like setCPU.

hopefully this helps..hard to focus on typing atm.

in clsing..learn how to push/pull ADBshell, that way, you can easily apply your own look/feel of the phone n a lot of the apps out tehre thru adp.

happy and safe rooting!

as for paolo..perma root for desireZ shoudl be coming soon..but i find it scary how theres not a lot of support for it

I'm using all the files from here, including the ROM, radio, Gapps

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2...-rc1-10272010/

But it doesn't have a kernel file? I'm assuming the kernel file is already included in the ROM?

Now to update radio, I have to double check because this will brick my phone from what I've read if done improperly. I've gone through the procedure that you posted darthchili, and I'm up to finished the nandbackup, now to flash the ROM.

But I have to flash the radio first, slow progressing.
Going through your instructions, i should follow everything under "FASTBOOT" steps right?
As in, which of these two options should i flash my radio under?
