I'll upload to my dropbox and post a link soon. Noticed you've been getting a bunch of help on Th3bill's thread (here too) and haven't clicked thanks once. Doesn't cost you anything. :)
Sorry, I've been so caught up just trying to get something working that I haven't thought about it. I will get around to it.

No, I have DSL. It is normally no where near this slow.

ANd what do you mean by recovery issue? I've always been able to bot into recovery.
Joking about the internet service.

I thought I saw on the other thread that someone suggested your recovery was out of date and you were installing a new one.

While I am waiting for your ROM to download, all I have to do is wipe data ten flash the rom? What if that doesn't work?
If recovery is functioning properly, and some other aspect of your device isn't borked, this will work. And nothing to wipe, the installer does that for you. If this doesn't work, then you will have to fastboot flash the files

For future reference:
1) Always create a backup before making any changes to your system - no matter how trivial the changes may seem. You can never be too careful.
2) Keep a copy of a flashable recovery, a fruit cake, and another ROM on your internal and external sd cards.

Those two things can get you out of a lot of trouble.

Are there directions how to flashboot flash the files? I know I am going to need help with that.
