I simply browsed the website on my Nexus One and downloaded the file that way… This way you don’t need to have a data cable OR a SD Card reader handy. If you go this route, then you will need a File Manager (I recommend ASTRO) so that you can move it to the correct directory and to rename it.

  1. Download the file from the link
  2. Open up ASTRO and browse to the SDCard/Download directory.
  3. Hold your finger over the downloaded file, and choose Edit, then Move
  4. Now browse to the root of the SDCard and click on the Edit button at the top of the application. Now you should have a Paste option.
  5. Now you will need to Edit the file again, this type to rename it as described in the link provided.
  6. Now simply follow the rest of the steps on the website, and you should be GOLDEN.
