I. Before You Begin
1. You must have done our How To Root the MyTouch Slide procedure before doing this one.
II. Flash a Custom ROM
1. Now, choose a ROM from our MyTouch Slide ROMs section and save it to your computer.
2. Plug in the phone via USB cable and choose Disk Drive in the notification drop down so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM file (as a .zip) to the root of your sd card (not in any folders, just on the root of the sd card) (do NOT extract the .zip file, leave it as a .zip).
4. Delete the ESPRIMG.zip file from the sd card now (if it is still on your sd card from the root procedure).
5. Now, unplug the phone and turn it off.
6. Turn the phone on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the HBoot screen comes up.
7. Push volume down and use power to select the Recovery mode.
8. When the ! screen comes up, press Volume Up and Power at the same time to get the menu to come up.
9. Select Apply SDCard:Update.zip and wait for it to load the custom recovery.
10. When the custom recovery mode comes up, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
11. Then select Select .zip from sd card and choose the ROM you saved to the sd card.
12. Let it flash and then hit reboot system now.
13. (Optional) To flash a different ROM, just redo Section II. Enjoy!
