Whats the next step?

Looks as though you can simply use arduino to upload the firmware using the upload button in Arduino.  If that's the case I will be more than happy to update the WIKI with a much simpler process.  Having not used that process I can't verify if that's how it works.  I will assume it does and give the quick and dirty way to flash a board. 
Once that is downloaded simply open the Marlin.ino and click on the configuration.h tab then make your thermistor and MAX TEMP  changes along with entering the proper board number.  You then select the proper board and Com port along with Tools->Board->[BootloaderCDC]Printrboard. 
Then click verify
Then Save
Then Upload
You may need to jump the boot pins just before clicking upload but there is no reason to keep the jumper in place. 
Again I don't know if this actually works.
If you can't get it, reach out on chat and I can step you through the process.

Do you know what version bootloader is in your board? It should be listed on the label on the chip as well as the original firmware version. There are if I recall three different bootloaders for that board and the flash process is different for each.

Is it somewhere on here? Or the back?

28. Within the CMD window, navigate to the folder you unzipped the BootleaderHID to in step 23
29. Type “hid_bootloader_cli -mmcu=at90usb1286 -w -v Marlin.cpp.hex” (no quotations)

I dont even have a BootloaderHID zip because that URL doesnt work (http://blog.lincomatic.com/wp-content/) and the ones the other users gave me dont have a BootloaderHID zip anywhere.

The ino file needs to stay where it is when unpacked, that is what tells Arduino what to load for the sketch. You need to run the command line but alter it to point to the ino file.

huh...so then why are the instructions telling me to place the ino file into BootloaderHID folder...im so confused

Follow the instructions then, maybe your flash softwate is different. There are a few vesrsions depending on the original bootloader installed on the boatd.

Now where do i place the .ino file? Do i put it in C:\Users\JC\Desktop\arduino-1.0.5-r2-at90usb1286-master and then run the command?
