As a fairly tech-savvy guy, I finally decided to give rooting a shot. I followed the first 10 steps in svt_gEEk's reply to the "The All-new Guide to All Things Root-related" thread and everything seems to have worked as explained EXCEPT that when the phone reboots, it returns to the Bootloader screen:
Bootloader
2C.6C
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Technically, I am ready to move on to flashing a ROM with his 2nd 8 steps (I was planing on loading NexBeast 1.1), but I don't know how to get past the Bootloader screen in order to mount my SD card. I did not do any sort of backup because I was under the impression that I had to be rooted first in order to install a backup/recovery tool and/or run it.
Please (PLEASE) tell me I'm overlooking some dumb step and that I'm not screwed so soon!
