7zip is a free file compression utility. This program zips and unzips many file compression formats including .zip .rar and of course it's own .7z format. You may need this program while flashing. http://www.7-zip.org/

BEFORE YOU FLASH...

Before flashing a ROM, you must install a Hard Secondary Program Loader (HSPL) onto your device. The first link is to an overview thread. The second link to HSPL3 is the newest version that is for use with ALL HD2's. Everyone should use this HSPL.

HSPL3 available - Everybody Should Use this Version of HSPL

(Thanks to bepe and cotulla for their excellent HSPL utility!)

After installing HSPL, you may want to flash a different ROM. Most cooked roms use T-Mobile US compatible radio's. These will have a .50 in the name, i.e. 2.12.50.02. DO NOT USE a X.XX.51 RADIO OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

PRIOR TO FLASHING ANY ROM- Run TASK 29

333 - I'm only half evil ;)

Task 29 will completely remove the prior rom from the phone. It will not touch your radio. It is always recommended to run task 29 prior to flashing a new rom.

Task 29 in a single file, provided by DoLoop (Thanks DoLoop!)

Download the file Task29 provided by doloop.

Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable. You will get a box that looks like this on your phone. Select ActiveSync mode as shown.

Open the folder containing the Task29 provided by doloop file, right click on it and select 'Run as administrator'

Click through the next several boxes, making sure to check the appropriate boxes

You will see this progress bar on your computer, and also a progress bar on your phone. When the bar reaches 96%, press the volume down button on the left side of your phone. This will ensure that once the phone reboots, it goes directly into boot loader mode. If you miss it, don't be alarmed. Simply remove the battery, replace it, press the power on and down volume key at the same time and go into boot loader mode. You are in boot loader mode if you see the Red/Green/Blue/White screen on your phone.

Once you're here, you're ready to flash your OMEGA ROM!!!

Download your favorite version. Use the 7zip program from above to unzip the ROM into a folder. Connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable and put it in ActiveSync mode as described above.

In windows explorer, go into the folder that you unzipped the Omega ROM to, look for the file ROMUpdateUtility.exe, right click it and select Run as administrator

Follow all the steps from above. You will see the progress bar while Omega ROM is being installed to your phone.

Once you reach 100%... You're almost there!

The last step - Perform a 'Factory Reset'

Here is a link to a YouTube video on performing a factory reset created by inmatrixout

From the home screen, scroll the slider all the way to the right to get to the Settings tab. From there, select the option for Security

Select the option for Factory reset

Type 1234 in the box and click the YES button.

Hint: This will work by checking the green check mark. I found that out accidentally :p. If you really don't want to do this, press NO.

ENJOY YOUR OMEGA ROM!!!! :D
