First of all this belongs in General discussion.

What color is the recovery you're seeing? If it's red, then apply update.zip and it should reboot into orange which is 3.0. If it's green try flashing through Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021

That orange one is crap. Stick with red for the time being IMO.

This is the one you want. The voodoo red version is the one that works. The orange version doesn't actually work. Sure the edify scripts are pretty cool, but after trying to use it to flash anything, orange cwm is buggy. Wait for jt and co. to tweak it for us. No offense against koush, but he just makes generic cwm that doesn't do all the necessary functions that we need such as battery stat wipe and others.

Here is a good way to determine if cwm orange is useful. Wait for adrynalyne to recommend it. He's been extremely faithful to help fix phones and with development.

Also, orange is not needed until gingerbread which we are waiting on sammy to do a code drop on us.

Doesn't it still have the wrong mounting points for one of our partitions? That can lead to all kinds of weird problems.
I have an extra fascinate with a shattered screen. If you have a dead phone I can Frankenstein the screen from, let me know. Thanks!

mount points arent wrong but edify doesnt mount stuff correctly. Its weird and a lot of issues are edify related

Koush and I fixed the mounts. Never tested much more than nandroid though.
