What do i need to backup before flashing HD with new rom, as to not void the warranty? As in, i need to be able to be able to get the device in the same state as it was when i opened the box in case i need to use the warranty, but i'm guessing there's a little more to it then just backing up the rom. I know i need to backup the original ROM, and i got that covered with this guide. What else? I think i need to backup the radio also, but i don't know how. Could anyone explain and link me the tutorials? Thanx
EDIT: Do i actually need to install a new radio so i can flash a new rom, or can i just backup the original ROM and then just flash a new one, without messing with anything else?
If i use USPL, do i need to backup anything besides the original ROM?

All,
Is it possible to restore a Nandroid backup to another G1?
My G1 went bad and I will be getting a replcement soon. I want to know if I do a full backup on the bad G1 can I restore it to the new one or not?
Thanks in advance,
Moe
I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.
Yes
Yes,
You can do that. Just make sure you have a fastboot enabled SPL installed on the new phone as well as the proper radio version that matches your backups (to avoid any potential bricking problems).
Yeah, I've done it. You might want to search the stickied nandroid thread though for accelerometer. There is a file you may need to delete if your accelerometer isn't working properly akmfs or something like that. As the above post mentioned you probably want to make sure that your radio and spl match what you have right now as well.
Hello,
I've got a new Xperia including a two year guarantee. So I'am able to exchange my mobile phone in case of some unexpected problems [Windows-Updates are as well possible] But I want to give new roms a try because they partly seem to be really beautiful. Is there the possibility to backup my original rom [I already read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462926] and restoring it without any changes? When flashing a new rom I have to "install" HardSPL - Is it as well possible to restore the original bootloader?
I would be pleased about useful answers - Thanks a lot
Kind Regards

Yes, it's possible to restore the stock ROM and stock_spl in case of guarantee. It's not necessarily required to backup your original ROM. You can download and flash an original ROM.
yes totally possible!
look at the Roms sub Forum @ the stickys. Probably you will find your providers stock rom there, so you dont need to back up your rom manually. (if you do it manually, make sure you do it after a hard reset with no programs and infos from you on it).
But note: If you USB Jack gets faulty or you destroy your phone in any other way you'll not be able to restore or flash anything.
Thanks
Yesterday I flashes some Roms and there's nothin else for it to hope for no problems/crashes In a pinch I'll try to restore everything

In case i need to revert to an original rom, do i need to have the original bootloader, or will hard spl be enough?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to go back to stock, the easiest thing you can do is first flash the original ROM and then flash back the original SPL.
You could also use sony ericsson update service to get the original ROM back, to then flash SPL back to normal.
Hey guess...if i need to send my phone in...what should I do to clean it up to make sure theres no sign of ROM tampering etc? So as to avoid..voiding...the warranty?
Do a Task29 and then flash back to a stock ROM. This wil normaly remove the HSPL aswell.
exactly what ive done...thanks !
just wanted to make sure there wasnt anything else.
I just wanted to know if installing any of these roms on my htc hd2 would override the windows mobile os completely?
or will i be able to choose between the two?
or will i be able to boot up both at the same time?
thx in advance.
It will overwrite everything. Your settings, contacts. You must backup it all and after flash restore it!
Remember to read FAQ in this section before doing anything or you might end up with brick...
