Thanks for fast responses everyone. Question. Since we are completely unlocked now why can't we just flash from Rom manager

Well you can but rom manager can be flaky. Plus I don't believe that version supports kexec so you could end up in an unbootable state if you accidentally flash a rom that still uses the older method.

If it helps at all and if you're still trying to decide whether to use EZ-Recovery or not, I'm using Rom Manager and boots into CWM no problem. I used it to install the alpha 2 CM10 that was posted yesterday.

Yeah you'll run into serious problems if you use Rom Manager and accidently flash a kexec based rom, but if you're smart about it you should be fine.

Rom Manager kept crashing on me every time I tried to install CWM through it
