Hi, below is the process where I done my rooting...

5. Right click on Android 1.0 and click 'Update Driver Software' and choose 'Browse my computer' then select the folder where you extracted 'android-usb-driver.zip'. Once done, reboot and disconnect the phone.
in my selection i have
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
press FASTBOOT > REBOOT

going to do nandroid then copy all the content of my sdcard to my pc > nandroid pls refer to first post
after nandroid, please don't forget to copy all the content of the micro SD card into ur pc...
u need the file for nandroid recovery + titanium backup thingy

after that
1. flash the rom, reboot.
2. flash radio, reboot.
3. install rom manager and do partition.

do i have to select both ??
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition ??
or just select wiping (1) enough?
wipe data and cache. u need to do this everytime u want to flash new custom rom to prevent bootloop.
you can press "back" button on your phone "back arrow" button to go back > after finish flashing rom, press the button and then press reboot system now
cannot straight away flash ROM then press back flash radio > to prevent bootloop
so have to press reboot system after finish flashing the ROM
--
install ROM manager > need to install clockworkMod > the rom manager will ask u to install, so just press install
press > Partition SD Card > The size of partition: 0MB of swap and at least 512MB of ext2/ext3 (maliqu post)
put back all the sdcard content into the phone microSD card
install titanium
choose INSTALLED apps and data you want to restored > From Backup/Restore tab
sorry for my superb english.. hope u all dun get too frustrated reading it
