Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks
mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...
If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.
Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)

I don't mind helping you, let me know what you need!
Im having problems rooting my phone, already have thread open :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478665
? is, can wm be installed on my g1. don't necessarily want to do it, but I need more access to my phone than I have, and I can't seem to downgrade to RC29.....
No WM cannot be installed on it, and why did you open a new thread to ask this question when you could have asked it in the original thread?
I'll say it before a moderator can
thread closed
Nevermind. No you can't do that.... yet
Hello All,
I confess i am a noob and proud too. lol
I am looking to flash my first device (Touch HD) aka Blackstone.
I have been looking around the formum and researching bits and bats but not found the answer to one question.
If i flash a new rom on to my device, am i correct in assuming the old Rom will be overwritten? therefore preventing a hard reset should i stuff things up?
If so, is there an app for creating/backing up my original Rom/Device Image?
Please no sarcastic, ****ty comments. If i have missed a thread with this information on then i apologies and could you just pass the link to the thread as my search criteria, didn't bring anything up.
Thanks in advance.

1) yes hardreset will just bring you back to the default state of the rom you flashed
2) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone how you flash how you backup and more
Hi I have posted this question previously with no luck so I am trying once again.
Please can anyone give a link for steps to cook my xda serra which is the same as a fuse or raphael or maybe a simple rom upgrade so as I am able to use my phone on windows seven aswell as vista???
And again you posted in the wrong forum. Your last post was moved to General for a reason. This forum is for ROM development only.
To answer your question, any rom (even stock) will make your phone work with Vista and 7. Im not sure what you are asking. What isn't working in Vista/7? Just hook up the phone via usb and use Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows Vista/7.
If you want to put a new rom on your phone read this:

Moved to the correct forum.

Hey everyone, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here. Mods, I searched for this to the best of my limited ability, and I don't think this exact thing is covered elsewhere (and I can't post in the Developers forums with a new account). If I'm mistaken and this is addressed, or if this is not the right place for this question, I apologize--please move it accordingly.
I have an ASUS ME127V which I rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery following the guides here in the Dev forums (this was about a year ago, so things may have changed in the interim).
Recently I've become aware of the SSL issues with Android 4.1.1, so I'd like to restore my tablet to stock and upgrade my Android version, but unfortunately I'm just coming up short every time I try to do this. I've tried the AMPC beta app that's linked to in the dev forum, but haven't managed to get it to work, partly because I'm not certain what other files I need.
Can anybody point me toward a simple step-by-step for unrooting/removing CWM/returning to stock?
Thanks for your help and patience.
