Thanks for your reply. I have been having problems with my SD. Do you think there's something wrong with my SD 1GB card? I partitioned it early and then it said I have only 468 mb so, I formatted it (using Panasonic SD Formatter) and now it sometimes reads and sometimes doesn't? It was working perfectly before the Partition.
Maybe, I don't know. you can remove both partitions and try it again (use EASEUS PARTITION MANAGER) . After you remove them, create an ext3 partition with a size of your choice (preferably 512 MB) using the same program and try again.
What you said worked perfectly, thank you (I would use the thank button but I am limited to 5 a day)
Do you recommend any roms? I use wifi, data, music and something that looks good and for a novice like me, easy to install.
It depends on what system/cache size you picked when you used "MAGLDR Repartition" ?
I am using this rom:

150MB partition layout with 45MB Cache. But this can be changed I think.
I also have a 1GB SD Card.
Yes do what I said earlier with "150mb system" and "45 mb" cache.
After that put the_rom.zip on your sdcard and install it from recovery.

I recommend the following roms:
-HyperDroid 3
-NDT MIUI Development
Both require 150mb system and both are non-sense.

For Roms it depends on what you prefer.
For Sense 3.0 Roms I am personally using EnergyRom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733649
For Regular Sense Coredroid is the best in my opinion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926507
For Regular AOSP stock Android Typhoon is an awesome choice here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933951
Or if MIUI is your taste with a lot of available themes and customizations try here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028693 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271254
Thanks I will see about them and hopefully change the rom.

Thanks. I will see what looks good and has good stability.
chrisrj28 - you have given me the best of the roms available, thank you. I look for style and something which is good to look at.
I choose the Core Droid HD2 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926507
Before I do anything, can I ask when I use DAF.exe it says -
1) "An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: USB init failed
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736)
Error Description: EnterBootloader missing
Info: .\RSPL\BootLoader.cpp (176) "
2) And in the instructions I downloaded it says " 15. Select minimum (512m) maximum (1024m). Your choice which one to use. Recommended is the 1024m, then press call button (left)."
Doe it matter what Size SD card I have?
Yes Coredroid is an awesome build and I would have stuck with it but I prefer Sense 3.0. Now as for your questions, the error with running the Daf.exe for your recovery sounds like it may not be connecting to your USB. In MAGLDR you selected the USB Flasher option right? Then when you connect to your computer it should have installed the drivers to recognize your phone.
And as for your sdcard, it does not really matter what size it is as long as you have room for whatever size Ext partition you choose. It also depends on what you plan on putting in the FAT32 option.
Why do you prefer Sense 3.0 as opposed to Coredroid? I am just curious and would help me to choose best suited to me.
Well Sense 3.0 is more appealing visually as it adds some nice 3D effects and such to Sense. But it is still not fully stable as it's Gingerbread based and there are some driver issues, but I like to have the newest on my phone, even if it's not the most Stable.
EnergyRom is good for me as I have been using EnergyRoms since my TP2 with WinMo. There are very few bugs and the ones that are there I don't really care about.
As for Coredroid, it's Froyo based and has Sense 2.1 which is fully stable, everything works like ti should but once again it's Froyo
That's just my personal preference, prior to Sense 3.0 Coredroid was my daily driver

Hi,
I'm trying to flash and I downloaded from the roms thread and I have 2 messages:
1) Readme.txt for this release is missing. On Daf.exe
2) An error has occurred
Read below for more information
Error Description: Config load failed.
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)
Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file
Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (304)
As you can see I am no pro. I am using this Video as a Tutorial :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71WDYfDg4sA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just a quick tip, I recommend using cLK bootloader. it is a less of a hassle especially if you do everything using the toolkit.
(Hopefully) Chris will help you with that (you will, right?)
And if he didn't, I'll post a tut for you tomorrow isa
now back to bed.

CLK is beyond me friend, have not tried it yet. MAGLDR does what I need it to do1Hi, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all of this stuff.
I think I may have fooked my phone - I downgraded my SPL from 3.14 to 2.08 and followed the steps of MAGLDR through to CRMod.
Stupidly though I missed the HSPL3 download and also don't have a NAND Android ready - not sure if you need that first or not but it's a bit late for me now!
I got through the ClockWork Mod 150MB and once it was finished, I don't have the option of 8 - AD Recovery so can't go any further.
I was running Android Gingerbread 2.3.1 before off my SD Card and now I can't even get into that so for now, my phone is pretty much a brick
Can somebody please help as I have no idea what to do apart from sit in the corner and cry as I really don't want to go back to my old BlackBerry!!
Many thanks in advance.
in magldr, if there is no option 8 - ad recovery, then you have an old version of magldr.
Get magldr 1.13 and flash it from bootloader (whilst in bootloader, confirm that your spl line says 2.08.hspl NOT 2.08.0000, if it ends 0000 run hspl4 again and choose 2.08.hspl)
then, boot into magldr, usb flasher, flash cwm again
reboot into magldr, 8 - ad recovery --> enters cwm, then flash zip from sd card - choose zip - and select the rom you already copied onto your sd card.
Also, if you dont have one yet, nows the time to create an EXT partition on your sd card. You can do that in cwm in 'advanced - partition sd card' tho it will format the whole card, so back up anyting you wanna save first. (Do teh EXT before you flash teh rom)
