I had luck with this but things were a little different. I got no black screen and simply powered the phone down. I also did mine without the sd card in the slot.

When I got done that root checker app lied and said I had no proper root access yet everything works fine and it is for sure rooted.

Anyhow with a bit of messing around it works and it isn't all that hard to do.
