I assume you mean you DL'd Simple root? If so go back and read the instructions in that thread. They tell you how to run that program.

The main hangup I am getting via toasts now is when i reboot recovery in one of the last steps, the phone reboots and i get the black screen with the disk drive and the red triangle with the ! in it. No matter what I, I can't get into recovery. I'm trying to flash to OMJ. What does that symbol mean, and what do I need to do differently?

Thanks so much,

If you are running the latest OTA software then you CANT use Toast's method or the original Simple root.
You need to follow this tutorial from the steps labled "Rooting after OTA 1.47"
(steps start with #5) or the 1.47 Simple root found here

You dont see the options I listed?
