[Q] HELP/GUIDANCE: Rooting, BackUp, Installing ROM etc - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
Just got my HTC Desire a couple of weeks ago, so I am a newbie in the Android world.
I understand there is a massive collection of threads regarding this, which is the reason I am posting a new one here as I am totally confused - I've read so many threads and articles on what and how to do it and got myself confused.
What I want to do is, back up the whole device as it is right now (factory state) so in case something goes wrong I will be able to restore everything back to normal in order to continue fearlessly trying out some custom ROMs.
If you guys could reply with some up to date links on what is the best way to do this and how to would be great.
Sorry for my question being similar to others but I need some clear steps I don't want to mess with the device blindfolded.
Thank you in advance.

Information Please

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

New to android and rooting would like advice/info

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.
I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

Thanks for the reply I wasn't totally sure where to post this thread so I posted just tried the general forum I will look there and maybe post there if I don't find what I'm looking for

[Q] Unroot Asus ME127V?

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.

Removing Google completly

Hello there guys and sorry if this has been asked before.
1. I'm a complete beginner at rooting (have never rooted any device before but read a few threads) and wanted to ask you guys on how to purge google completly after rooting.
2. Could you please also tell me, since we are flashing the stock firmware, which software is included there? Is everything the same after rooting with the difference of beeing admin and having more oportunities to work on the device?
Thank you in advance.
If your a newb start on a popular older phone. There is little to no community around the tab s7
