MR1 to DCD: Noob edition request

[drewzee]

So I've had my xv6800 for a couple of days now, Verizon sent it to me when my samsung i760 shit the bed. I immediately flashed the 6.1 update, mainly because I love threaded sms. After browsing the forums though, I would lke to take the plunge to a custom rom. I would like to make sure this goes smoothly, and this is the information that I have gathered so far:

I need to do 4 things:
*Flash neuSPL 2.47 - This seems simple enough. Throw it on the SD card, and run it.
*Flash the Rom - I'm doing DCD 3.2.6 Since it's an exe file, I'm guessing I will run it while connected to the PC.
*Install the found in the rom thread
*Flash the radio - This is a weird file extension. Do I run it from the phone or while connected to the PC?

I've been trying to search but it seems like I'm going in circles constantly being directed to threads I've already read, but not finding the information I'm looking for. Am I going in the right order? Is the a "Rom flashing for noobs" thread that I can't find?

Verizon LOCKS down the gps on MR1. If you want to be able to use it on custom ROMs, you have to flash a Verzion ROM from before the MR1 update and then flash to the dcd ROM. Other than that, the steps you listed were pretty much correct. Good luck and welcome to the dark side :-).
