Flashing usually requires that your device be ROOTED. one would go into the custom recovery and "Flash" a ROM. May I suggest you read about flashing and rooting here in the FAQ to learn more.

Once rooted read

You've went and rooted the phone. Now What???

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am in the process of rooting using Odin3 and part of the instructions are:
"Using the original cable, or a known working one, flash the recovery image to the device. (NOTE: Recovery image goes in PDA slot and MAKE SURE repartition is unchecked)"

I'm not really clear on what the procedure would be to "flash the recovery image to the device."

I'm not familiar with the process your using but to flash is either to do so with the fastboot command or to do so using the boot loader and a valid image file.
