Hi all !

i managed to root the phone and installed supercid using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 worked perfect !
i would like to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
now this is where i get confused ??? on the rooting guide he says i can install roms without losing data apps etc but on the rom guide he says i must use super wipe script before installing ? which do i do ? if i have to wipe i dont want to lose apps or contacts especially contacts what would be the best way to backup these and restore?
sorry if this is a silly question but as stated im an android virgin and this is all a lot to take in my head hurts off all the reading !
thanks

Most ROM's will only work there best if you do a full wipe first, the best option is to use Titanium backup then restore everything afterwards is the best option. Or what other tool(s) you want to use to backup the information and settings, contact export to SD then import after
If you just install the ROM without doing a full wipe, 9 times out of 10 all your settings remain, even though it says it is wiping things.

[Q] No Service Reconnect/ Auto-HangUp

Hello Community.
I've installed the CM7 on my ChaCha.
I'm having 2 big problems:
When I turn off my display the mobile data service doesn't come back online. I have to restart the complete phone to make it work again.
Its not a problem of my carrier. It worked all well with the stock rom.
The orther problem is that my phone hangs up all my calls after a single second on its own.
I really need you help...

Any other info you might share?
S-OFF/S-ON, Radio version, complete wipe of data, cache and dalvik-cache before flashing the CM ROM?

Hi Alex.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry that I didn't mention it.
My Chacha is S-ON (unlocked via HTCdev), my baseband version is 47.23.35.3033H_7.51.35.19, I wiped all user data and the cache before installing the Rom. As I found out: the problems are exactly the same with SuperOSR.

Could you try installing one of the radios here:

Can I really try those? I mean the headline says its only for s-off devices

Use a goldcard to flash. Google goldcard android if needed

How to prepare a phone for sale ?

I am wanting to sell my SGS2. It is rooted and running Darkside UCLE2 Rom . what do i do to clear my personal info out of the phone before I sell it ?
I know if it was a stock phone I would just do a factory reset but have no clue what to do with the custom Rom installed.
Thanks for the help !

Well (that instructions may apply to any phone, not just SGS2):
- flash Stock ROM / un-root if you are already on stock rom
- wipe data / factory reset
- format internal storage (remember, it's not affected by factory reset and may contain private data)
same applies to your SD card if you are selling phone with it

You might want to flash a custom ROM and keep it rooted since that brings the value of the phone up, people are willing to buy it for more.

[Q] New guy here, I could use some help with ROM

Hello, I got HTC Sensation XE, and I was thinking of upgrading my ROM to ViperS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547
I got a few questions about upgrading my ROM..
1. If I upgrade to ViperS, and I am not happy with my new ROM, am I able to move back to the normal Android (I guess this is called ''flashing''..?)
2. Am I able to use every app from the Google play store?
3. I suppose this ViperS ROM will work with my Sensation XE as well..?
4. Does upgrading ROM harm/damage files, phone, or anything?
5. Am I going to have problems with Wi-fi after upgrading? (I've heard some guys have had problems with wifi)
EDIT: More questions:
1. What ''unlocks/mods'' do I need to do to upgrade ROM? By ''mods'' I mean things such as rooting and S-Off etc.
2. Which should I do first? Flash? Root? HTC Dev unlock?
3. Is Super Utility easiest way to root? It seems like it is the best one for it, since 90% happens with PC.
4. Last one, is flashing boot.img = ROM flashing..? Or is Installing .zip from recovery = ROM flashing? The Super Utility has ability to flash boot.img and installing .zip once I have HTC Dev unlocked.
Once again, thanks already.
(Yes I have googled and checked all over the forums, but I want to be 100% sure of everything, I don't want to destroy my quite new phone)
Thanks for help!

Hi,
Follow THIS GUIDE to the letter
1.Make a nandroid backup (in backup and restore in 4 EXT)
2.Should be able to,once you have rooted
3.yes
4.Should be OK
5.Follow the guide above.

I've ran viper for a long time before flashing to jelly bean and I never had any problems with Wi-Fi or tethering. I upgrade or flash a lot and never had any trouble luckily. Yes the play store will work perfectly with viper. I think everything will go fine. Are you s off? If not don't forget to flash boot image. If your s off all you need to do is wipe cash and wipe dalvik and wipe data factory reset. Do this in 4ext recovery then choose zip and install then reboot. You will be good to go.
Hope this answers your questions. Also for any applications you want to keep use titanium backup for that. Remember to do you're nandroid backup before you flash anything this way if you get into a pinch you can always restore your previous rom. This is very important and a good practice to have as a safe guard. Happy flashing. Best wishes

#1 rule make a backup in recovery before tinkering
Aside from restoring a backup, the easiest way to get your phone working again would be to flash a fresh ROM. For example, Albertos AOSP is quite stable and up to date. You will need that ROM.zip and a compatible gapps.zip. wipe everything clean and flash those in recovery.
You will lose all your data.
I do not know what TextNow is, but if you need the "stock ROM" you may need to restore factory firmware via PC- you will lose all your data
What exactly are you trying to do?
