-You will have to install a custom kernel that disables the kernel protection for the radio partition and a wp-this module for this kernel that drops the write protection of the emmc-memory chip.
+
+To update the radio image you will have to get around two forms of protection-- first is the kernel restrictions on writing to the radio partition.  Then, there is the emmc firmware chip's read-only protection.

+So, you will have to first install a special cyanogenmod-based kernel that disables the kernel protection for the radio partition.  Then you'll also need a "wp-this" kernel module for this kernel that drops the emmc write protection.
 
 The boot.img that contains the kernel can be found here: [http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/boot-new.img]

-Install the custom kernel using fastboot.

-Get fastboot from <the internet>
+Make sure you've downloaded fastboot onto your computer.  It comes along with "adb" with the [http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html Android SDK]
