Disconnect the phone from the computer.
Setup your Gmail account and proceed to the "Play Store"(Market) and download ROM Manager(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager)
Open app and "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Then "Backup Current ROM"
One thing to keep in mind-if you flash any ROM,Kernel, it will overwrite the fix for the power cycling(random re-boot) problem in previous SW versions.
Until all ROM & Kernels are built from ZVD source there will be problems
