Ive tried to install this ROM many times but it gives me a write error after it finishes and reboots. Downloaded it different times also. I've flashed 2 stock ROMs and DFT's 7714 and 7720 all worked any ideas?

Thanks for your hard work!!!
I am a little confused with the steps below and believe that is the reason I am unable to remain unlocked after Mango RTM installation....
//// update to Mango 7720 RTM ////

>> click on CLOSE in ZuneSetup
>> install zune with StartZuneLocal.exe //// wait for ZuneSetup to complete ////
>> click on CLOSE in ZuneSetup
>> connect phone to usb //// wait for Installing device driver software to complete ////
>> copy RCToRTM to C:\
>> double click on ISVTo7720.bat //// wait for 7720 update to complete ////
>> run Connection Setup //// unlocks phone ////
Where do I find the files you are referring to which I have highlighted?
