Hi, I've downloaded [I can't seem to link, but st0kes 2.1] and I'm a complete newb at hacking, and these forums. I want to install 2.1 but I also want to back-up my current OS (1.6) incase anything goes wrong.
Please give me a step by step guide for a newb to back up my OS, install 2.1 and restore if anything goes wrong.
- Thanks!

i installed cyanogen but I want original android back. can some one give me a detailed step by step on how to do it? Please help
thank you and I'm sorry, I just broke down and posted. is there any way to delete the thread?
try the "unroot. get back to original firmware" thread..
I know i have been guilty of posting questions without searching sometimes but a question like this is not only in stickies but also common sense, just flash the official donut build the same way you flashed cyanogen minus the whole double flash crap you gota do now with cyanogen builds because of google but thats besides the point. You may have to do a wipe too but i'm not sure.
another n00b thats being stupid and posting Q&A in the dev forum

You asked for these replies by putting your first post in the developers forum. Nice job noob.
WAIT WHAT?? you want original donut? cyanogen is original, but amili times better then stock. i dont know why new flashers want to go back to stock. is it because they dont have my fave?
If you really want to go back to stock I hear winmo has a phone for u....lol

To quote Cyan: "Go eat a bowl of dicks"
Search first
Wrong forum
Coulda Google'd it
Wow... Did you miss the other thread entitled "Complete Eclair (v2.2.1)"? I have a hunch you could get some help there.
why is it so hard for someone to post a link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690709
..it's probably within 5 posts for you on the main developer forum
also that whole searching thing
thanks so this will give me steps right
Is it still possible to root the captivate if i flash to the new build? I just got this phone and I really want to do both of these..lol. Please someone let me know. I already downloaded the guide from this site. So I just want to know if I get the new build, is it possible to follow the same root instructions that are for 2.1? Thanks in advanced.

Yes it's still possible to root, but with a different ( more complicated ) method as of now. It's not the same as rooting on 2.1. You can find couple of threads regarding rooting froyo in development section.
1st i want to say sorry co'z i made a new thread i cant help it ^^ ...
good day to all this is my 1st time to use this phone i bought this from a friend the unit is already cynogen mod 2.2 but i want to try the froyo version which is 2.2.1 because i encountered a lot of fc in my version
any sugestion ow to make start what file i need what thing 1st to do...
things to xda and to the person will guide me here
If you want to learn about installing roms read "Beginners GUIDE:Rooting a HTC Dream(T-Mobile G1) and Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (FROYO)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688
As you already have an old Cyanogen rom, your phone is already rooted, so you can skip the 1st part of the guide (you may want to read it anyway for a better understanding of what was already done on your device).
Once you select the rom you want to flash, you can post your questions on installing that rom in that rom's thread.
Happy flashing!

Usually NOT (changing your rom doesn't unroot your phone).... and this is the development section! Next time post in the question and answer section and we're all happy.

Hey.
Just bought a HTC Evo 3D for £220.00 and I have no idea what roms are ect, infact this is my first android phone, and like the idea of being able to have a better camera on my phone and using beats audio.
I read your how to guide on how to instal this, but it went way over my head. I dont even know what a ROM is or kernal ect..
Is there a step by step dummy guide for someone who has never used a android phone before eg:
First install this program on your PC then do this, then you need to get this file and install it here ect and then do this.
I am seriously android dumb, my last phone was a sony Elm which would not even get the internet. and now hooked on the android phones.
Thanks so much.

Also that site isnt even in english
So I take it there is no dumb dumb guides on how to root the phone and install custom roms ?

Thanks again.

Hi I know what you mean but really you just need to search around google is your best friend and also his other friend called you tube you will find all your answers but just make sure to read before you try but you will be fine we all started just like you so I know how you feel good luck
Welcome! No questions are dumb. We all have to start somewhere! I started Android with the Droid X. Android rules.
Youtube will also probably help you since you can actually see and pause the video at your own time following instructions step by step.
Good luck man!!!
