Ok, I rooted. It appeared to be successful. I did everything but Flash recovery image. I want to do that but I am unsure of how to do the backup before doing so, please assist.

Additionally, how do I delete stock apps?
You'll want to install the recovery image, you'll be able to do a Nandroid backup after that. The recovery image will not remove any data on your phone. Note that I'm *not* talking about the MoDaCo ROM, but specifically the recovery image that QuiQNeZZ linked a couple of posts up.

Deleting stock apps basically consists of removing the .apk and .odex files for those applications. There are several guides on xda-developers that outline how to do this. You definitely want to make a backup *before* doing so, as it's easy to freak out your phone (or possibly brick it) by removing the wrong apps or files.

Once you've got the recovery image flashed and you've made a backup, see this XDA thread for how to remove stock apps:
