- Reboot into TPT
- Power off, wait a few seconds, then power on with menu & vol+ held. "It should take a few seconds to flash the new Gen2 firmware (you should see some green text), then it should reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, use that to wipe data & then install your Gen2 rom."

Once installed, vol+ & power boots into TPT if there is an image directory.
