5. Now you can go ahead and install the Stock Froyo rom.

I did the radio update
I have rooted my phone
synced apps in app world and plan to get my contacts back from Vzw backup asst.
I have "20100727 stock froyo signed" file.

Can someone tell me "in noob speak" how I now install froyo?

1. Just put the file on your sdcard by dragging and dropping it from your computer
2. Reboot in to recovery and wipe data and cache (before wiping go to nandroid and make a back up)
3. Still in recovery choose install zip from sdcard then select the froyo file.
4. You have froyo so grab a beer

When i boot into recovery "Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.0.1" I volume down to wipe data/factory reset and hit the power button and the screen goes black and nothing happens, same if I choose reboot system now...beer is waiting, what am I doing wrong???

I'll spell it out a bit more

1. Power down phone
2. hold down volume button
3. Hit power button (i keep both held until i get into stock Hboot)
4. Wait a few seconds while Hboot does it's initialization/checking thing
5. use the volume down button to select recovery
6. Press power button to boot into recovery
7. select install zip (not update zip) from SD card (using the volume keys or optical joystick for directional navigation. Press the optical joystick button for select)
8. Choose the Froyo file from the list
9. confirm
10. let the flash do it's thing.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PULL THE BATTERY BEFORE THIS FINISHES!!!!

"Select" works a bit differently in CM recovery.

The trackball does the selecting in CM. The power button works you back in the menus until you hit the root menu where it will turn off the screen.

Phone is booting back up now...based on what I now know..I didn't do the wipe, this will cause issues?
I am now running 2.2

Unknown. There's no guarantee that you'll have issues or not.

If you do, go back into recovery, wipe the data and cache, and flash the ROM again.

So far, all is well...new apps...720p video, I'll see how it goes and decide.

Again...thank you all for your help

Can I download froyo directly to my phone and into the sdcard and boot from there? I can't fnd how to copy to my sdcard through my pc. That's the way I flashed my radio by downloading pb1img and dinc directly to my phone. Also, if I do it that way, do I leave the file in my phone? Thanks in advance!
