You need to be rooted, install rom manager, flash clockwork recover in rom manager copy downloaded zip file to internal sd card. Boot into recovery mode (vol up vol down and power held until white splash screen comes up). Select reinstall packages, might gave to do this twice, now you should new booted into clockwork recovery with green text. Select install xip from sd card, select chose zip, scroll to file you copied to sd card, scroll to yes, watch the magic happen. This is from memory so not guaranteed 100% exact description but enough that you will see what I am talking about.

As for the kernel, you might want to become more adept at flashing and using odin because you will need it when something does not go right

Im using cognition. Can I use rom manager to flash to firefly or can I flash back to 2.1 using the update file and rom manager. Do I need to do something different?

Trench coat, couple of drinks, make sure it's not too cold out to reduce shrinkage
Seriously I think both rims use same base and ext 4. Put fire fly on your internal sd, long press power, select recovery, install zip from sd, choose zip, fire fly, confirm
Thanks
Thats a big help.

Have NC rooted (thecube Monster Root) w/eclair. Want to install new CWM to eMMC but have yet to find thread on this. Anyone seen such a thread?
Well the way I did it was I got Rom Manager from the market, then hit the flash clockwork option. My B&N software version before I rooted was 1.1 so I had to update CWM to 3.0.1 so that it would actually work right, there's a thread in the development section if you need to do that too. I don't know if this is the quickest or best way to get it done, but it worked for me.
Read the threads on CWM 3.x...
It doesn't install correctly from ROM Manager, and if you do it that way it won't work correctly when making and restoring ext4 backups (big blue text in the link below).

Yes, specifically, you need a microSD card, but it is easy after that. From the thread referenced above:
Yes it can and it just took the right man to create the update.zip that updates CWM. Thanks to MrMuffin there is one now.
cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip - md5: d7a550d683e54732bcb55eff24ada704
Place onto your sdcard and flash like you would a rom and reboot back into recovery! Please give MrMuffin thanks if you find this useful!
Worked for me first time.

Before my phone crashed severely and i had to flash teh firmware and rom... I had a really awesome bios running that allowed me to do more than the default one allows (eg, backup/restore, install update.zip, install zip from sdcard, reboot system, and i cant remember the rest)
I had run into this while looking for a fix for hte 3 button mode...
Does anyone possibly know what it is i am talking about and can point me in the direction where to find it please?
It called CWM-clockworkmod recovery. Search xda for link

Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.
So, im asking for the old default androind keyboard in the new 2.3.X
Thank you
I'm not understanding. Stock is there for me. Imputed method>gingerbread. Keyboard=stock

I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).
Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!

I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.
Should be in system/app (I think).
You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.
Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.
I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".
Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.

It should install in system/app
I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.
It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.

Que?
what is trying to put files where?
meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.
I'm confused
Lets start over shall we,
What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.
Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...
The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?

What, kernel are you using?
talon, has cwm3 and needs an edify script not amend like cwm 2.5
