Do you wipe? - Vibrant General

Do you wipe before you do a Nandroid Restore? I know it was always recommended with my G1, but I thought I read somewhere that the Wipe option doesn't work on the Vibrant.

Do you wipe?

Seriously though I wipe before each flash just for safety sake.

Lol.. that's more than I had when I flashed the Desire ROM, I had to do Apps2Sd and everything. Desire is worth it though I guess..

lol dude dont flash the add on..youre not supposed too the add on is only for the cyanogen roms because he chooses not to put the google stuff in his rom for legal reasons..the desire rom has everything you need in there
and the memory doesnt matter..android manages everything just fine

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.
Example
WRONG
Hey I saw this thing that told me how to delete System32, and I did it, how do I make my computer turn on!

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:

It does or can get kinda repetitive when you do it over and over. Its a lot better if you have something like Titanium Backup makes restores bearable.

Astro File Manager (may require Pro version?) has an app backup function. Not as nice as Titanium Backup, but it doesn't require root.
Also, don't forget to update your radio and WiMAX as per the OP on that thread.
i find it amusing that the same people who were afraid or for whatever reason didnt root, are now flashing this fake unreleased 2.2 and complaining about the issues with it... if you want an official release, wait for it to be officially released
I dont really care what you think. If you dont have an answer to the question dont reply and dont waist my and others time. got it ? get it ? good

Astro file manager is an App, search for it on the market.
this is why i did not go after the leaked froyo not only will it mess with your phone but you cant even get the official yet.

Your phone has this already (out of the box) and yes it will wipe everything from your phone.
Thanks! this let me restore everything back to stock and put s-on back. I had to exchange the thunder due to the backlight bleeding through the black paint around the bottons.
My Tbolt has this same issue and I'd like to exchange. Did Verizon give you any hassle when exchanging it? I'm rooted and will need to flash back to stock as soon as I can DL this file...

Yes they did. Said it existed on all of the new TB's they've sold and would not exchange the phone for that reason. It's not really that bad but in the dark, it's annoying.
Grabbing with a downloader and then editing this post with a mediafire link. The only good site for uploads other than my server IMHO

Too big for mediafire, but that should work. Please post an MD5 OP so I can check it all.

it'll restore your phone to an out of the box state.
what for?
my phone is already at the original state...
or is it like if you brick it or jailbreak it or something?
If the rooting process gets messed up, you'll be glad you have this file.
So this removes Root ???? I am looking just to update my radio ?? Is there something for that ?

[Q] lg g2 wiping

Hello community I have a question and i'm hoping someone can clear it out for me ! when your about to flash a rom in recovery and you wipe everything (data,system,dalvik,etc) most importantly system , do you delete everything !? as in ,if you flash the rom it wont be stacked on top of another rom ? I want to flash this rom but I've always had that doubt that when i wipe it doesn't delete everything and it leaves something.
