I've been rooted for several weeks now and am finally interested in installing some ROMs/themes. I saw this thread and the great feedback it got and thought I'd give it a go. Unfortunately the 928 BG install didn't go as scripted:

I transferred the zip file to my SD card via Bluetooth, but I don't see how this matters.

I didn't get the SuperUser prompt, but no big deal.

My phone just did a regular old reboot. Nothing special. No recovery mode.

See my reply to # 6 above.
So I figured the problem was some app I had on the phone. The most broad-reaching app I have is LauncherPro (or maybe Titanium Backup). I uninstalled LP and rebooted, then I attempted steps 5 & 6 again. Nothing. Regular old reboot. I attempted this a few more times with the same results.
Does anyone have a reasonable idea why it isn't working? I'm baffled. Any help is appreciated.
