IM POSTING THIS THREAD AS A FOLLOW UP FOR THOSE WHO USED MY ROOT PROCEDURE AND DOWNLOAD FOR THE BACKFLIP AND THIS WILL BE TELLING YOU WHICH FILE IS THE ROM MANAGER IN THE TOOLS DIRECTORY OF THE SDK I PROVIDED AND HOW TO INSTALL IT! and also a tethering app!

IF YOU JUST WANT TO TETHER WIFI SKIP THIS AND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THREAD. THIS ROM IS NOT NEEDED TO DO SO!

I AM ASSUMING YOU ALREADY KNOW AS I TOLD YOU IN THE 1ST THREAD YOU NEED TO BE IN USB DEBUGGING AND CHARGE ONLY WHILE USING SDK TOOLS CMD OR THE PUSHES OR INSTALLS WILL FAIL!

1st and foremost i HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU MAKE A BACKUP! go to androidpolice . com and see the how to backup backflip by Artem Russakovskii

NOW IF YOU DID THAT IM ASSUMING YOU NOW HAVE THE ROM MANGER APP! if not you must be awfully confident! (and you still need ROM manager from the market...) i dont think u need the paid version to do this but just in case download the free version and in the tools directory of the sdk i provided, the pay version is there just open the command MAKE SURE YOUR CONNECTED (TYPE "ADB DEVICES" AGAIN NO QUOTES DUH!! AND MAKE SURE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER COMES UP ON DEVICE LIST)and simply copy and paste

adb install com.koushikdutta.rommanager.license.apk (YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE THE FREE VERSION!) NOW THIS APP IS INSTALLED ALREADY WITH NO PROMPTS!

NOW FOR THE ROM!

GET IT HERE ~~> http://www.uploading.com/files/9d5m32fc/signed-j_r0dd.preclair.v1.0.2.zip/ <~

(i take no credit for this ROM all thanks and credit go to J_r0dd @ modmymobile!)

(DO NOT UNZIP)(there are other places to get this ROM but i forgot where exactly i got it so i just uploaded it myself! if you can find it elsewhere i suggest doing that, being that the free site i use to host SUCKS and downloads very slow unless you are a premium member!)

I tried to push the ROM to my sd thru adb and for some reason couldnt ?!?!?! WHO KNOWS! maybe u know the codes better than me! BUT IF NOT NO WORRIES! just open your notification bar and assuming you havent unplgged your usb yet, select usb connected then select usb drive(or use a sd reader and transfer that way!)

now right click and copy the zip file and paste (DO NOT DRAG AND DROP WEATHER USING YOUR PHONE OR A READER) it onto your SD cards ROOT (not in any folder JUST DIRECTLY ON THE SD CARD!) it will take a few being that its 80+ Mb in size

With that done we will go back to the ROM manager and select Flash ROM from SD card. You will be prompted to "wipe data and cache" and "backup the system" Being that you have already backed up the system using the search info provided above (I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE) just click wipe data and cache follow the prompts and the manager will do the rest! Your phone will shut down reboot and you will get the motorola screen twice like usual and then an android icon will draw its self out and flash green! (WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?) and this will stay for 1 to several minutes DONT BE ALARMED THIS IS OK! then your phone will load. Now you can put in your blur account info and whatever else you choose! any apps that you paid for prior to this will still be saved in the google cloud and will be available to reinstall from the market! YOU CAN NOW USE LIVE WALLPAPERS AND MANY MANY OTHER THINGS YOU COULDNT BEFORE ALL LISTED AT MODMYMOBILE Just look up J_r0dd's PRECLAIR and he has a list of the ups, downs, and all arounds! AND AGAIN ALL THANKS TO J_r0dd for the ROM and to Artem Russakovskii for the BACKUPS

NOW after this (not imporntant just really cool to have!) hook up your Phone through SDK (If you disconnected that is!)... type "adb install barnacle-24.apk" and for the last time NO QUOTES DUH! this app is in the SDK tools you downloaded from me already and AT&T has it blocked from the market! (your welcome again ) now in your app drawer you will find barnacle wifi tether open it click the button left of your home button (three hollow squares and a solid square also know as the settings button lol) check "skip wpa_supplicant" and hit the back button and you are ready to tether wifi to and thing that accepts AD-HOC wifi EX. laptops PCs XBOX360 ect ect BUT unfortunately PS3 Wii DS... only run AOSS wifi
