I've finally managed to unlock the bootloader on this thing (what a relief), and now I want to flash a ROM. I've been hearing mention of some file called Superuser, how would I acquire such a thing?

What about TWRP or other custom recoveries? Do I need one of those, or can I just go ahead with CM10?

TWRP / CWM needs to be on your device to flash a custom ROM unless your using ROM Manager or Goo to aid in downloading and installing/flashing.

You can't use the stock recovery to flash custom ROMS or kernels.

I tried to flash TWRP, but after I followed the instructions and about three seconds of waiting, it said it was done. Absolutely nothing happened on my phone. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure it is TWRP 2.3.1.0 .... Don't freak out if it doesn't work the first time, double check how you are spelling the file name out, I know the first time I did it I left the (-) hyphens out and it did the same thing. If that still doesn't work, reboot into your bootloader again and make sure it says "unlocked"

Edit: check the forums ( xda) to see if anyone else had the same exact issue and if they resolved it. You will run into roadblocks here and there with different stuff-- installing the rom correctly and what not (before you run ANY rom, make a back up of stock htc rom in TWRP).. Don't sweat it, just keep reading the workarounds and you'll get everything running right.
