I spent one night in your situation. To answer your question about the tri-color screen. YES. You do have to be in the tri-color screen to flash your ROM. The exit booloader is to be used only if your are stuck in the tri-color screen. After several hours of a flashing nightmare, I went to xda and installed olipro's hard spl. Then I went ahead and flashed DCD's(XDA) ROM and Radio. So far its working pretty well. For some reason I still cannot flash any of no2chem's ROM.
