Hello, I just followed the steps at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 to root the phone and install a customized kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery (Entropy512's Daily Driver). My phone was UCKK6, Gingerbread 2.3.4, so I followed the instructions using the steps: 1, 2c, 3a. Everything seemed to work fine (except that my Wifi doesn't work now, but I'm going to hold off on dealing with that), but now what do I do? I want to install the latest version of CyanogenMod, but step 4 in the instructions just says I can do it, not how.

I see tons of tutorials on installing CM on an S2 but I don't know if they are applicable to my Android version, or the custom kernel from that thread. Basically, I don't want to **** anything up so any advice on the best method to install the latest CM on my phone would be appreciated. Thanks!

For reference, after following the steps in that thread, my current phone specs are:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I777UCKH7
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7

The Entropy Daily Driver kernel has Clockwork Mod Recovery which you use to flash the Cyanogen Mod zip file, which is a Clockwork Mod Recovery flashable zip file (CWM flashable zip.) To enter recovery, hold down all three buttons, vol- vol+ and pwr for about 5 or 10 seconds.

Download the install file for the Cyanogen Mod version you want and transfer it to the sd card of your phone, then boot into recovery and follow the flashing instructions in the CM thread.
