Root question...... - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

If I root my MT4GS will that erase all my phones data? Meaning do I have to back up my phone before rooting?

You might want to back up your sdcard contents to your computer, but no it won't erase your phone, and really you can only do a NANdroid backup/restore after rooting anyway. Just go to revolutionary's site and you'll be good to go. Also, make sure to upgrade your recovery to 4.0.0.9 after.

Oh okay, great. Thank you so much, that was very helpful.

Don't know if it will help but theres a post that has nandroid unrooted backups of froyo and the Gv update... you could download them with your phone then do the usual wipe data process and restore one of the backups.... hope this helps..

Accidentally hit thanks, so you're welcome for that. But other than that, it's a common file, accessible by other applications. Why, what is it you're doing that involves it?
Thanks.
I see in the running apps in the settings tab.

If your phone is rooted, use Titanium Backup and "Freeze" it, then wait and see what happens.
If your phone isn't rooted...
Root it.

[SOLVED] stock nandroid backup bad

just tried to restore my nandroid that i made of my phone before i flashed it but i got a bad md5sum on it. i have used it before and it has worked fine but now for some reason i get that error. not sure if it was because i flashed the stock recovery and then put back CWM or not, but i have four backups and 2 work, the other 2 dont
anyway to get these back? or are they done
Did u rename the backup? U can't have any spaces in the backup which could be a problem

yes i did and it does have spaces, that would explain why the one backup i have that i did not rename worked and the other three did not
i flashed stock recovery earlier today so i can't test it now, but i renamed the folder and will nvflash cwm tonight and test, i'm sure that's what it is. i'll let you know
Omg, I actually helped someone. I'm proud of my self . Pelee know if it worked

[Q] Soft Brick

Hi. I recently tried to do an adb nvrestore of my phone because i was experiencing some trouble with touchwiz crashing. I had previously done a backup after rooting my device but after the restore my phone tries to boot repeatedly and will not enter recovery mode. I can however access download mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Section 5, but why would you do the nvrestore for that? That's only if you lose your imei.

No buddy that's a backup for the losing imei issue we were having. Now did you happen to make s backup in clock work mod recovery, that's how you backup your system.
Either way we can get you back up again. You'll be fine, but for now on read a lot unless you're rich because you can brick this phone beyond repair.

Okay at least you have a titanium backup. Fastest way to get your phone back is follow that guide I linked. There are prerooted stock ROMs linked in it. Use one of them, follow the instructions exactly. When done download titanium and reinstall your apps. You'll be on stock rooted jb.

First off, did you NVFlash CWM or install it via ROM Manager application?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Pretty sure he initially installed via rom manager but then flashed with nvflash. If I'm recalling correctly from an earlier thread the op made

Yeah, there's no way. Unless he did use a compy to at least nvflash, then just download a rom using mobile browser onto SD card, grab a kernel, gapps if needed, and flash as usual. Done this several times using only phone, but of course the computer MUST be used for nvflash, otherwise, OP, you'll have nothing but problems.

You would know if you've used nvflash because you would have downloaded a small application to your PC, taken out the battery, pressed volume up/down simultaneously, installed APX drivers, etc etc...it's a pretty unforgettable experience. There is no way of checking except remembering whether you went through such a process.

Without a PC you don't have and can't use NVFlash.

lol butthurt much? I ask a simple question and Adam trolls me so you block me? I wasn't even talking about you lmfaoooo. and I have a PC therefore I do have nvflash. I'm asking if this can be done without it
Sent from my LG-P999
Adam wasn't trolling you at all. From what i can see everything he said was in order to help you. You can't do anything until you nvflash cwm onto your phone. End of story. And you still haven't made it clear if you used nvflash to install cwm onto your phone from your PC

pretty unforgettable experience etc? I said I'm a noob that doesn't mean talk to me like I'm a dumbass. but yes, I used nvflash to flash CWM thanks to your help good sir.

I followed the steps for the KDZ updater and that failed is why I'm asking. My PC runs through all the steps flawlessly until the last one where it opens LG driver updater then says version is up to date.

Adam did not mean anything derogatory by his comments, don't misinterpret an experienced user's comment as negative feedback.
Now on to your topic, i do not believe you can upgrade your baseband without a computer. I would use lg's upgrader tool to do that. I don't know much about it as i was originally on 2.3.4 however i know theres a sticky on it somewhere. Check all the g2x forums and their sticky sections. You will definitely need a PC to do it
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I've checked all the methods posted such as the offline KDZ updater and they failed. most are XP specific and I'm running vista
Sent from my LG-P999
Yeah sorry not trolling, just trying to get an idea where you are with the phone. What exactly are you trying to do? Upgrade to 2.3.4 stock using the LG update tool? I'm thinking you should just download v10f from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
The v10f should be the 2.3.4 if I'm not mistaken, and should be flashable from cwm. Make sure to use the instructions provided on that thread. It's a stock nandroid backup, so you have to use the backup/restore menu in cwm. Not sure you have to use a PC (you might be able to do the extraction it talks about in the instructions using androzip, not sure though)...
But what is your ultimate goal by doing this? Cm7 with the right kernel works so much better.
Sent from my LG-P999
Thanks Adam I'm going to save nandroid back up on my PC since i lost mine. Probably a good idea to have a stock 2.3.4 hanging around anyway
