Re: clarification on rooting
Question 2: If you plan on using a custom ROM you DEFINITELY need to block OTA updates. If verizon sends out an OTA update (2.1) and you end up applying it to something other than the stock recovery or stock rom it could brick your phone.

tvandyck7 is right though. Just skip all the manual stuff and download the dmupdater. It will do everything for you, root, rename stock recovery, install recovery image (same as nandroid), perform a backup, and install the formerly know as sholes rom.
