I just rooted my DX today, and have been looking into flashing a ROM onto it, specifically Liberty 1.5. I have a few questions that were not covered to heavily in any guide I read, one being what is Deodex? Some guided tell me I have to do this before flashing a ROM and others don't include it as a step at all, or even mention it. So what is it and is it necessary to do?
My second question is I know you need Kousche's DX recovery bootstrap to flash a ROM and create Nandroid backups, but it seems the only place you can get it now is from the marketplace for $2.00. I have zero problems donating money to a great dev (so I've heard) but I would really like to try it out myself first before I gave any money. I noticed that he used to give it out for free but it seems the links are down? Does anyone have a source to download it for free? Also, I was able to acquire the recovery bootstrap v. 1.0.0.3, whereas the current version is 1.0.0.5. The source I got it from was a little shady as well as not current so I was a little hesitant to try it, not knowing if it would make a difference. I appreciate any help, thanks.
