THIS MAY ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR TABLET!!!!

Do this at your own risk!! I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your tablet.

Start by installing your favorite ROM and kernel.

Make sure you have adb working and CWM installed

turn off the device then boot into recovery. (vol+ and power).

once in recovery you must format the EXTERNAL sdcard into ext3.

adb shell

parted /dev/block/mmcblk2

mkfs 1 ext2

confirm
exit

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 to format the external SDcard to ext3

mkdir /tmp/ext-sd

mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /tmp/ext-sd/

exit adb and run

* this will take a long time *

on a linux box unxz bt5.tar.xz

adb push c:\path\to\bt5.tar /tmp/ext-sd/bt5.tar

adb shell
# cd /tmp/ext-sd/
tar xvf bt5.tar

rm bt5.tar
cd /
umount /tmp/ext-sd/

reboot the device into android and connect the INTERNAL sdcard to the computer to place files on to the sdcard.

make a directory called kernels on the sdcard and put the 3 zips from above in that folder.

bt5kern-01-20110525.zip

droid-kern_backup.zip

restore_droid-kern.zip

reboot into recovery and flash the

droid-kern_backup.zip this will create a backup of the android kernel. This will ONLY need to be done any time that you UPGRADE or CHANGE your android kernel.

once this is done you switch back and forth between android and backtrack with:

bt5kern-{date}.zip to boot into backtrack

restore_droid-kern.zip to boot into android

******* You do NOT have to wipe cache or anything when switching back and forth. Just flash whichever you want to boot into and you are done************
