In front of the PC
Go to Modaco's forum and download the latest radio and 2.9 rom.
Go to 'the unlockr' for a nice video to follow about flashing the rom (easy)
Simples.

Basically, download rom to desktop,
plug in phone to use and mount,
drag rom renamed 'update' to phone.
Start phone in recovery image, (hold home button when turning on)
go to sd card update zip in the recovery image and bosh, rom is loaded.
Same for radio.

Just try restarting the phone or re flashing .( via recovery image)
They do get stuck in a startup loop sometimes, nothing unusual.

On Modaco, the sticky section there is a thread for radios, it tells you latest one. Modaco is UK based so you'll be fine with all that Paul uploads there.
