Flashing a ROM??

So I just rooted my android and downloaded some apps now I am wondering how to flash a ROM on my Blaze 4G. As I understand ROM Manager wouldn't work since it doesn't have ClockWorkRecovery for the Blaze. So can anyone explain to me how to flash a ROM in details and please don't use a lot of technical terms as I am new to the Android operating system. Thanks!

@SHELDON COOPR This might work.
1. Install latest Android-Andi TWRP recovery.
2. Check the md5 of the ROM and Gapps and copy them to your tablet (if you have a microSD card put them on that instead and insert it into your tablet.
3. Boot into TWRP and make a backup.
4. Click Wipe > Advanced wipe. Select system, data, cache, dalvik. If the ROM and backup are on your external SD card then wipe internal SD also.)
5. Flash ROM.zip and gapps.zip and any other addons.
6. Click "Wipe Cache/Dalvik."
7. After the wipe is completed, click "Back" then "Reboot."
8. Once the ROM reboots to the setup screen, let it sit for 5 minutes and then reboot back into recovery.
9. Click Wipe > Advanced Wipe
10. Select Dalvik Cache and Cache.
11. Click "Home" at the top of the screen and then click Reboot > System.
12. The ROM will go into "Android is Upgrading. Optimizing Apps"
13. Go through setup like normal and enjoy the ROM.

Wow, that could be a problem. I found this article that might work. http://www.digitalreborn.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-unable-mount-efs/
One other thing that I thought of was to Odin back to stock, but that might not work if what I said above didn't. So I would recommend looking at the link above.

Ignore what I just said about re-flashing stock with Odin.
efs is a partition on the phone's internal memory that is used to store important information (like the IMEI - the unique serial number of the phone). It's not accessible to a normal user and shouldn't get corrupted under regular use.*
With all of that said, you're apparently having such a problem, but I'm pretty sure that simply rewriting the firmware isn't going to fix this - that partition isn't included in the stock firmware files.

Quoted from http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/377195-what-does-failed-mount-efs-mean.
One thing I make sure I always do is make a backup of EFS before I flash anything. (The latest @Android-Andi TWRP will do this)

HI everyone
is there any chance to restore efs to my tablet, which i accidentally deleted while installing new os.....
thanks

You may have installed the wrong rom like P3100 instead of P3110?
Happened to me with my P5113, instead of P5110 , I did P5100.
Was able to go into D/L mode and odin flash correct rom.
