Using JAF to install cooked ROMS (N97/N97 mini)

[fataqui]

I am posted this new thread because all the previous HOW TO USE JAF posts give instructions that are not the proper way to FLASH n97/n97 mini. You should never use DEAD USB unless your phone is actually DEAD, which would only happen if you use PHOENIX. And that happens because the ADL server checks the CRC after the firmware upgrade, which won't match because you cooked your firmware files and will cause the boot-loader not to change back to normal operating mode. So DO NOT USE PHOENIX when upgrading CORE, ROFS2, ROFS3 cooked files, use JAF only...
