You can start by telling us which lagfix you have.
Lets say voodoo, i wanted to flash a rom that has it

Disable lagfix
1. Mount phone on computer (connect it so that you see its two card, one internal, one external if you have one).
2. Navigate to the Voodo folder on the internal SDCARD (there should be only one of the two cards that has this folder)
3. Create a file (or folder) named "disable-lagfix", no extensions. (right click -> new-> new file or folder)
4. Unmount your cards from the computer.
5. Shut phone OFF.
6. Turn back on.

Explain to me why I found something in 1 minute that you couldn't find all day?
I would add this... give the phone and os time to do it's business. Converting data too/from ext4 takes a few min. Have heard a lot of folks soft bricking by not allowing time for the data conversion process, thinking their phone was locked up and pulling the battery. It's not. Wait it out.
I guess you know ur way around the forum lol well thanx anyway i will write it down somewhere

You need to be rooted, install rom manager, flash clockwork recover in rom manager copy downloaded zip file to internal sd card. Boot into recovery mode (vol up vol down and power held until white splash screen comes up). Select reinstall packages, might gave to do this twice, now you should new booted into clockwork recovery with green text. Select install xip from sd card, select chose zip, scroll to file you copied to sd card, scroll to yes, watch the magic happen. This is from memory so not guaranteed 100% exact description but enough that you will see what I am talking about.

As for the kernel, you might want to become more adept at flashing and using odin because you will need it when something does not go right

So I've just downloaded Paragon RC6.0 and it's pretty mcuh running smooth.. I am getting a bunch of force closes.. Like everytime I open an application.. Aside from that it's smooth as butter. One question...How the heck do I load the themes that were made available with the ROM... I got it onto my sd.. but how do i load it? Thanks
If you are talking about the themes via Paragon's thread, they can be installed via recovery.
Thanks. And I would need to just rename to update.zip and load correct?

If you are using the standard recovery yes, but if you use CWM recovery, you just choose the zip as is!
Before my phone crashed severely and i had to flash teh firmware and rom... I had a really awesome bios running that allowed me to do more than the default one allows (eg, backup/restore, install update.zip, install zip from sdcard, reboot system, and i cant remember the rest)
I had run into this while looking for a fix for hte 3 button mode...
Does anyone possibly know what it is i am talking about and can point me in the direction where to find it please?
It called CWM-clockworkmod recovery. Search xda for link

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful. Can I fix this?

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Yea, the phone has never stopped working in that reguard, just wont download. But now that you mention it, I did make a titanium back up of all apps and data before I did all of this.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

Settings>applications> manage applications>all> browser> clear data.
if that doesn't work try a 3rd party browser from the market. I use and prefer dolphin hd.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

Hmm It should be in the download directory...
You could always dl the recovery file to your pc and copy it over to the phone.

I know, I'm at a loss. If I can't figure this out or have it fixed than I may not be able to flash. I'm just glad it's my back up phone.

Would I have to take sdcard and place it in one of those adaptors, download recovery and drag/drop in sdcard?

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Ok, I was able to install the recovery to phone from pc, I unzipped it than extracted it, but after I copied the recovery I tried to paste over the old recovery in system/bin but I got a message saying I can't do that read only.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.
