#first, make a backup:
adb backup -f backup_2014-09-26.ab -apk -shared -all #-apk and -all is probably redundant

#now for the recovery
md5sum openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-mako.img #make sure the image is intact
#now, reboot phone to bootloader and run:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-mako.img

#from the bootloader you should be able to boot to recovery
#from recovery perform a factory reset,
#then choose sideload, then send over the new ROM
adb sideload slim-L-Mako-b7-HnP.zip
