Must be a night of firsts, I am rooting for the first time too. What app is recommended for backing up after rooting?

Titanium Backup is a good choice. It's worth the six bucks to get the paid version, but there's a free version and that will backup everything to your SD card. After you do that you can then backup the Titanium Backup folder to your computer.

I meant make a nandroid backup using Rom manager/Clockworkmod recovery. This is very important. Titanium backup is good but it's not the same sort of backup and it's not nearly as important.

 

[SF DINC]

Yeah buddy, I am rooted, bought Kernal Pro, Rom Pro, Titanium pro now I want to flash some kernals, and BAMF 1.5 REMIX!!!!!

[SUB-dawg]

[SUB-dawg]

so i am not getting the "do you want to install?" message when i am installing pgo5me or whatever it is. i am in the bootloader.

EDIT: ok i just realized that the PG05IMG is not all the way downloaded and that is the one I put on my sd card... am I screwed?
