How do I know it's doing anything? I don't remember it being this much trouble the last time I flashed.
The way to flash roms hasn't changed b4u2. You should read up on how to do it. Wouldn't want you to brick your phone.

Use amon ra recovery. You can get it in the ROM Manager app. Just flash alternate recovery. To flash the rom, you power down your phone. Press vol down and power at the same time. select recovery. wipe, data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. return and select zip file. select the zip file on your sd card and go.
