For the last couple of months my Charge has been asking for the gb ota update. if i choose to install now it fails due to my phone being rooted. Im still on froyo and have been wanting to take the update. I would like to keep root, voodoo, all of my apps, phones settings, and theme. Is there a way to get the update without having to have the phone go into a hard reset? Its just very time conusming for me to try and put my phone back into the condition that it is in now with all my settings/apps. I just want to keep everything the way it is but including GB. Any way to do this?
Titanium Backup. Back up, and install a custom GB ROM. Then restore.

I used to be very cautious with flashing/upgrading. Then I decided to bite the bullet and just learn the ropes of backing up and keeping all the files I need to reflash and get back up and running quickly.
I suggest using CWM 4.0.1.4 for making and restoring backups in recovery, which can really be great- it saved me a lot of time.
How do your restore when the phone has been hard reset, with no root and no titanium?
The custom gb roms comes pre rooted rven with CWM(infinity..tweakstock...humble....eclipse))Get TiBa from market and restore

Will I have to redo everything?
sent from planet snarf
redo everything.............. Like buy the phone again? <- is a joke
It depends on if you have anything backed up or not.
i meant redo all my config settings for phone and apps etc
I got mybackup pro but without root i cant backup data
rewording would the newest root method leave me with bare stock rom or will my apps and data be safe?
Bare stock it will be just like powering on the phone for the first time. Though market sometimes (not always) will sync your apps back to your phone. You can also back up your contacts to Google, and sometimes not always Google will save your background. Everything else you will have to redo.

dang i shouldve rooted right away
After you root the first ROM will make you start from scratch, afterwards you can use Titanium Backup to restore everything.
Hi everyone, last night I rooted my Charge with Odin. Flashed EE4 debloated, CWM, voodoo lag fix, SD card patch. Took 5 minutes, not a problem in the world. I just forgot to make a back up of the stock rom before flashing. How do I go about getting back to stock and making a back up, then reflashing it all?

How do I read a sticky forum post?

There is no point in backing up if you are talking about using CWM. The backup and restore function do not work correctly yet which is why Imnuts removed it from his most current build of CWM.
FYI it is not that backup won't work but when you restore it will brick the device.
Ok. Can i use another method besides CWM?

there are stock roms posted in the developement section....also,,if you are talking about backing up your programs....get titanium backup from the market
Just flashing a stock Rom sounds like easiest. Will i lose root?

I want to update my Xoom from Moray 2.2 to Moray 2.2.2 and would like to know how to go about doing this, do I need to do a wipe and then flash 2.2.2 or what?
Thanks.
Doesn't it pay to start fresh? I always do. Less chance of mixing anything up.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using xda premium
took the chance and did it without wipe after i did a nandroid backup and everything went fine, just do nandroid backup to be safe
Everything should be fine with Nandroid backup. Hope I don't reply too late.
For those that are testing roms,how do you back up your installed apps/data to load to the new rom and get up and running quickly? I have 80+ apps that I really hate to have to reinstall or have progress reset every time I try a new rom. I have TB but have seen mixed reviews here on its results. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I have already read the threads how to backup existing setup in case something goes wrong.

Make a CWM backup. Install new ROM, then go to Backup and Restore, go to advanced restore, then select the backup you made, and select restore data. That will bring back all of your apps/setting and such.

Thank you. I thought cwm was only to put back to the way I started like a windows image file.

I apologize, I misunderstood your question......
I used CWM when I went from stock rooted 2.3.5 to stock rooted 2.3.6 to restore all my apps. I'd imagine there could be some issues if you used CWM in the same manner when going from stock rom to say RebelROM so for that I'd use MyBackup. I prefer it over TB any day. So use MB to make your backup of your apps (apk's and data) before flashing the new rom, flash the new rom and then once you get MB on your phone again use it to restore the apps, apk's first then data after all the apk's have been restored.
Sorry for the confusion
I use Rom Toolbox...it works quite well

I just tested a theory i had and it worked flawlessly. I just flash supercharged v5 and before i did i just wiped cache and dalvix and formatted system, i did not do a factory data reset. I then flashed the rom and everything went flawlessly. I still have all my apps and data from before the flash.

I do not want to restore if possible. I did OTA update to my wife's stock rooted phone last night and now the home key does not work. Back key is only way to home screen. It vibrates when pressed but no action. She is already pissed about her tethering being disabled again. Any suggestions appreciated. I really don't want to have to tell her I have to restore. She didn't want the update in the first place.
Sounds to me like a fxz flash is the best option.
Flash back to 2.3.5 and root.
Flash one of our handy ROM'S that are currently available.
Get your teathering via sqlite.
Then your set!

Thanks. I already had her talked into it. Think I figured out possible problem. I remember she uninstalled ONE of the original at&t apps. Update said completed but I think may have corrupted something. She had a lot of FC today, definitely major issue. Back to stock we go!
Hmm. I don't think it should have ever updated over the air with some of the att bloatware missing.
Atleast it didn't for me.
Well, it sounds like your on your way!

If you haven't flashed yet, you can boot into Recovery from the Atrix 2 Bootstrap and make a Nandroid backup, then after you flash to stock and update to 2.3.6 and root you can "Advanced Restore" the "data" part of the backup to keep your apps and settings.
