Hello,
I was just curious, if I do a nandroid backup of my phone before I load a rom, could I then restore from that backup later if I was unhappy with the rom? These roms look so tempting, but I need my phone for business stuff as well, so im tentative to not be able to go back to the (mostly) functioning stock image.
Thanks,
Andy

woohoo!
Thanks for the clarification, I figured that it would, I just wasn't positive on it.
I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day
How do i do it? Sorry I'm a big time newbie with this
You do not have to do anything.
While switching roms, you only wipe your data/cache/davik
Your music/photos will be in your SD
So it will still be available after changing roms.
okay thanks. im guessing it saves my apps and stuff too?
No you have to back them up using a backup program unless you are just updating a rom like the nightlies...then everything should stay...if a brand new rom only photos/downloads/videos etc stay

something like titanium backup?

Being that the Skyrocket is my first android-based phone, i'm still fairly new to this. Currently, I have NexusMod4 running on my phone. Say I wanted to flash a different rom or even the ICS leak etc.. what would be the best way to do this? Do I just go ahead and flash it or do I have to uninstall the current or anything like that? Also, what should be backed up? Everything? Lol. Apps can be backed up and restored via Titanium Backup, correct? Help a noob out.
hi there, can you just advise on this: when you flash a ROM do you lose all of your phones UI ( TW on Samsung phones for example).
thanks in advance

ok guys
One. Search is your friend it would have answered your questions so please in the future try to do so
Two. When installing a new rom its like installing a different version of windows so when you do your wipes its like formatting a hard drive so yes you loose all of the old data including whatever ui was on the old rom.
Three. Backups are important many make a full one of the stock setup and archive it somewhere safe for those oh **** moments lol and many like to flip between roms by backing up their favs and restoring them as their fancy is stricken.
Four. Yes tibu is good for backing up apps me personally I use system tuner pro for this purpose among many others. Hope this helps out

Ok people, Here is a couple of Questions for you. My AT&T One X is rooted with an unlocked bootloader however, I am running a stock Rom. I just started getting this AT&T message that is giving me the option to update my software. But! It gives me a choice of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours to remind me if I do not do it now. If I let the update happen, will it crash my phone? Will it take out my root? Permanently ?? I am afraid to update because I have been reading that AT&T has been trying to fix their back door.
Also, How can I stop the reminder from coming back???
Flash a custom rom cleanrom 2.5 se is nice. Its really the best way. It blocks ota.

Thanks however, can you direct me to a thread that includes the ROM, Kernal, Exc.? I have Fastboot and all. Is this Rom compatable with my stock IMG?
Thanks again, Gary

If you haven't installed an custom recovery you would need to with this tool.

Getting links.
Then CleanROM 2.5 SE (stock debloat performance and battery mods)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26119274
Or CleanROM Lite (very slim speedy rom mostly everything stripped out install own apps from market)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27048708
And then kernal from (general consensus is 1.82 is the best for performance and battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26933428
And finally a radio from (will have to try them and find out which works best for you with data speed and signal)

I will do that. I have to get up early for work so I will be back on tomorrow night. One last thing though, you said to flash the Rom then the Kernal? I thought the Kernal came first.
Oh and what if I flash the Kernal without updating to the new Rom? The reason I'm asking is that My wife has the same phone However hers is Rooted but not BL un-locked. so if I flash just the Kernal would it work? Then, would it solve the AT&T reminders to upload their Rom?
Sorry for all the Questions, Gary
These kernals are recovery flashable. Meaning from CWM so ordet doesn't matter, technically the Rom will flash a kernel, but some users say one is better than another so just throwing out options. I don think there is a way to get rid.of.the notification unless you could.freeze the updater app with something like titanium backup, or go custom Rom route.

I want to thank you for the recomending this Rom it all went in beutifully! I ended up flashing my wifes phone also.
Today AT&T sent us messages that stated that there would be no more reminders and that if we did not choose to update they would update anyway. So I shut down the phones until I got off work and took out our access cards then turned off Wi-Fi. Finnally when I could this afternoon I started flashing.
Nice, I'm glad it worked out for you. CleanROM lite is nice too, if you want a leaner Rom.

I have flashed two custom ROMs now and both have been glitchy and slow. (stuttering, freezes, FCs, etc)
I found my original nandroid from just barely post unlock/root, and restored it. I'm on 1.7x and would like to stay that way if at all possible.
Does anyone know what to freeze in TiBa in order to get this to stop? I just want to stay on stock/rooted for right now.

Try cleanrom now, you need to give it a day to build up caches, but it was rebuilt on a more stable Rom.

Or use Rootkeeper from the market and update to 1.85 and keep root.

Is there any reason I'd want to keep my 1.7x and NOT update (if I can help it)?
Every time I flash something on this phone, it seems to slow way way down. I just want it to stay where it is.
Trust me, It's worth the trouble of doing it.

Been running CleanRom 1.1 lite for about 12 hours and its WAY better than stock by far! Flashed the battery percentage and dim 3 led's and dual core mod. Couldnt ask for anything more
thanks!
So if I have 1.73 rooted with bootloader unlocked. Can i just install clean rom to update to 1.85? or do i first have to update? If i have to update first is it better to use the Peter's guide post or can i just use bootkeeper and to the ota update?
Thanks!
Hello,
I tried rooting my HTC One S but that didn't go as expected. I used this but it failed and now a lot of apps are force closing on me. I have no idea what happened. Anyways how do I restore the stock ROM? I am really new to this device so I have no idea where to start.
I am in Belgium (Europe) so I'd like to keep that firmware. I had created a backup using the backup thing from adb? (idk it asked me for a backup and I could add a password if I wanted).
I really hope I can fix this :/
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: I noticed the device is going really slow (animations and such). Buh
I used an RUU to fix everything. Much easier than using Odin on my old Galaxies. Sweet!

The link you posted is blank. What ROM did you install?
I had the issue with the PAC-man ROM using 4.3.
I didn't flash any ROM, that's why I find it so weird.
I used some one click root method because I knew these worked on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700 as well. I guess I was wrong.
