Go to Image > Image Size, make sure the constrain proportions box is checked, and change the pixel height to 182.

Then go to Image > Canvas Size and make the overall canvas 480 x 182. Use the paint bucket tool to fill in the new white areas with black. Now you should be ready to save and move on to the next step.

It might take some tweaking to get an image that looks good. This will not take up the whole screen but just a small area in the middle of the screen so you want your image to be as close to the edges of the canvas as possible so it doesn't end up looking too tiny when you boot your phone.
