Re: Got phone rooted, now how to install a custom rom? Please help.

How did you root it?
Try using "This Guide"

Then just put the .zip file on your SD Card.
Turn off the phone.
Hold Vol Down and Power until you reach a white screen that says:
"HBOOT
<VOL UP> FastBoot Mode
<BACK> Simlock
<HOME> Recovery"
Select "Home"
Your phone will launch "Android System Recovery"
Select "Wipe"
Then "Wipe data/factory reset"
Press "Home" to confirm
Press "Back"
Select "Flash zip from sdcard"
Then select the zip file
Press "Home" to confirm
Once finished select "Reboot system now"

Hope this helps!!

I rooted it using the instructions found in the xda thread linked by xizzmatt. I even went ahead and installed the one step rooting app - UniversalAndroot which says the phone is already rooted when I try to run it.

My problem is that I can't seem to get it to the recovery screen I think is what it's called where you wipe the phone and install the new rom from the sdcard.

Will report back after trying xizzmatt's advice.
