First attempt at ROM Flashing

[whiting002]

Please don't flame me but I've got a n00b question for you.

This is my first GSM phone as I've just come off of a CDMA network so I've never flashed a ROM before. I've gone through a lot of the posts that I've seen on the forum and on the wiki and I just want to clarify steps before I brick my phone.

I just picked up a new AT&T Tilt w/out the camera yesterday and I'd love to experiment with the new ROM that Dutty just released. Here are the steps as I understand them:

1) Download HardSPL for Kaisers onto my Vista computer
2) Attach the data cable from my computer to my Tilt and verify that the ActiveSync icon is green
3) Run kaiser-hardSPL.exe from the computer
4) After this has completed execute a HardReset
5) Download the Dutty's DualTouch v1.1 Rom to my Vista computer
6) Keeping the data cable attached verify that the ActiveSync icon is still green
7) Run the Kaiser_RUU.exe from my computer
8) Perform a HardReset again
9) Keeping the data cable attached verify that the ActiveSync icon is still green
10) Download the 1.27.12.17 version of the radio since I'm currently on .11.
11) Decompress the package
12) Run the CustomRUU.exe
13) Perform a HardReset
14) Go to Dutty's site, click on the paypal link, and show the love!

After this everything should work. Will I need to perform the keyboard fix at this time or is that already incoporated? Have I left any steps out? Anything in here completely wrong? Any suggestions what so ever?

Thanks in advance!!!
