Hello everyone!
I've had my mytouch 3g since preorders were available and I rooted my phone the day the first root was released. Since that day, I have been though many of moded roms and other system modifications that I would like to "reset" my phone the way I first bought it. Is this possible? To completely clear the memory, unroot it, revert the radio, and get the stock tmobile rom?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I just bought a new myTouch 3G (T-Mobile USA) which has the perfect SPL. I want to root my phone and I am new to Linux. I have collected a lot of information about rooting the perfect SPL phone.
One thing is not yet clear to me is how to back up the stock ROM that came with the phone so that I can unroot it later, if need be. There are a lot warnings of doing backups before rooting. But no descriptions about how to go about doing it.
What I want to do is backup my stock ROM as the first step before I do anything. I understand that I need to downgrade my ROM to Cupcake before I can root my phone. But, before I replace my stock ROM (Donut?) with Cupcake, I want to backup my stock ROM. How can I do it?
There is a step of doing a backup using the Flashrecovery after I have downgraded to Cupcake. But, at that point, am I not backing up the older version of the ROM?
Thanks for your help in this regard.
Hey guys,
my dad bought his SGS on eBay and he got it with Froyo/JPN.
He never updated the rom since he got the phone, last year.
But now he wants to install the official Kies-Version but Kies says, that he can't update from his JPN-Rom.
Normally, I'd just backup everything and flash an official ROM via Odin, but that is not what my dad wants.
The situation is a bit complicated and I don't wanna go to much into detail.
The fact is, I need a way to get the official Gingerbread without loosing all data of the phone.
Any ideas?
Hi everyone! This should be a pretty simple question...but it is a bit beyond my current understanding level...
I have a droid 2 with 2.3.4 and the 621... I just got it flashed from VZW to Mobi PCS (i wanted to do it myself, but i could not find the PRL SID/NID, MDN/MIN etc on the internet anywhere), anyways they offer unlimited data..which is SWEET! Currently everything works as it should..SMS, Data/Web, Voicemail, Calls, and text messaging.
However, I want to tether via wifi without paying the $15/month extra fee. I understand from my research on this forum that rooting and getting a custom rom would solve this, BUT..the guys at the "unlocking"-store told me that I will have issues if i upgrade to 629, put a custom rom, OR if i root the phone...?? I'm certainly not an expert with androids YET...but it seems as long as I back up the APN's (and put them back after rooting/flashing new rom) nothing else should get modified during rooting or installing a custom rom...is that correct???
Or am i missing something? If so, can someone tell me what other settings or files i need to make backups of before i root?
THANKS!
Also, I hate to ask NOOB questions when i could go searching for the answer...but if someone could also tell me the best rom, kernel, and easiest root method...haha!
Well...thanks to sd_shadow and his expert knowledge...i am rooted! -now its time to bootstrap and see if custom roms will work for Mobi..or if i will lose any functionality.
edit-->NICE, installing CM7.2 did not alter any of my settings for Mobi..everything works! AND, 3G has less lag! SWEEEET!!
Hi there, I just got my new I9505. If I plan on rooting it over the next few days, should I install/not install the OTA update that was downloaded when I first switched my phone on.
I'm wondering if the new OTA will make gaining root access more complicated. I'd like to stay using TouchWiz for a few more weeks before I get CM or other ROMs, so is the update worth it?
Currently on XXUAMDF
Thanks
Hello XDA! I'm wanting to get back into using a rootted phone. In fact, I already have rooted my note 3.
I really want to get into a custom ROM, to remove some bloatware, and to be able to theme the system fully.
I previously had a samsung galaxy fascinate (telus) that I had rooted, and I had tried to get a custom ROM on it. Turns out though that I may had messed up! My phone was soft bricked. So I got a dongle made up for me, re-flashed froyo and got rollin again, However I was afraid to try to flash a custom rom. I used it for a year and a half on stock after that, and then decided to try to flash it again. I again had messed up the process, (I think Odin hates my PC). I ended up with a boot looped phone.
Now that I have my note 3, I'm loving it. However I don't want to have to deal with TouchWiz.
My question to you, xda. Is, what is currently involved in getting into a custom ROM on the note 3?
Is there a guide to getting started with this kind of stuff. My phone is rooted, but I have no custom recovery (I'm not sure how to do that).
I'm tempted to just wait for cyanogenmod for the note 3 as it seems to be very popular (and probably would have better support documentations). However If there is a reasonably simple alternative I can get a new rom soon.
Thanks a lot for reading this wall of text, and apologies if this gets asked frequently. I'm just terrified of losing my precious new phone

here is a list of custom recoverys download your one for your phone and flash with odin http://galaxynote3root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
It's all quite a simple process really , just make sure you follow any guide precisely.
Is there another PC you are able to use if you think the culprit is your own PC ?
I'd also recommend the Note - X- Rom very nice Themes, Battery, Performance boost.
all the best with your flashing Remember to always Backup your EFS and do a Nandriod backup before anything ! :good:
