Hi there might be another thread with the same question as me but I couldn't find it so I'm just posting a new one. Feel free to send me a link to that one, if there is one!
I am running 2.2 froyo on my HTC HD2 and i want to replace the build , is there a way to do this without losing your contacts and apps and such? Or will all the data be replaced/erased on your phone?
This will be the third time in 3 months my contacts will get erased if it happens and not only me but my friends are starting to get really annoyed!
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Hi, make back up with Titanium backup, or My backup. Flash the new rom and restore your backup.
You may also consider setting up google account. I'm trying to find best ROM for my needs, so I also reflash. Synchronising my HD2 with gmail let me keep all my contacts and appointments. Of course without backup I still have to reinstall all apps.

It appears 4rom the way ur question's asked dat u r not familiar with CWM's or any backup & restore possibilities....well there are several ways but d easiest way 2 get things lyk ur contacts,calendar n market-related apps...is to have a google account...dat should be easy for u, since launching d android market asks for a google acct (if one hasn't been setup b4)..
Alternatively, u can use backup apps lyk Titanium backup root or MyBackup...backing up's easy..restoring across different build's d tricky part so choose wisely...
"NANA" hahahahah ! nice typo error

Huh? Just name your contacts properly then! There's no way anyone could help you, without you providing even the slightest amount of info. We don't know what ROM your running, if you synced your contacts, if you installed anything....etc.
Is there a way to do so? I would like to flash a new ROM, however I have alot of apps on my phone i would like to keep. It would take way too long to reinstall all of them. Thanks in advance

Just be aware that you can get problems if you backup and restore to different ROMs. It isn't always successful!
i just put a rom onto my phone and everything got deleted. Is there anyway i can get those back and still have the rom??
All my contacts and all my apps got deleted. Is there anyway i can get those back??

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.

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:

You have plenty of options. If you are already on Android then you simply use your gmail account and it will sync your contacts/calender etc.
If youa re on windows I think you can do same thing or use sim as suggested or you can also use a program like SPB’s migration tool.
please help

When u say market, i believe u mean on android...Well there r several ways u can have ur apps backed up..
1. Google does it 4 u automatically...
2. Using softwares like "MyBackup Root/Pro" or "TitaniumBackup"...etc
3. If u've got CWM installed (my favorite)...use it 2 do a full n free backup.
Or are u talking abt d exact location on ur device where the "market" stores downloaded apks?...i'm not sure @ d moment but will browse my fone ltr n see if i can find it.
would someone be so kind and tell me if it's possible to take calls in "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0"? And what does it mean with "sense" & "sense-free"? Would really appreciate your answers!

I'm not familiar with "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0's ROM, posting a link to the thread should help us answer ur question better...
"Sense/Sense-free" tags simply tells if the particular build has HTC Sense screen layout & widgets bundled in or not.

With the WinMo installed on HD2 I used Active Sync to sync my contacts with Outlook.
Now using an Android-SD-Build i use the HTC-Software "HTC Sync":

Well when u first install & run android on ur device, while setting up ur accounts...especially ur gmail acct...well, it asks u if u want ur settings n data backed up to google...accepting it means some of ur phone settings (like remembered wireless networks....etc) and links to apps u've downloaded & installed thru the stock android market all get saved & uploaded 2 google's servers...So d next time u flash say another/d same ROM n while setting up accounts...and u set up d same google acct, ur phone ltr automatically performs a sync (wit internet connection ofcuz)...And things like ur contacts, settings, favorites, and previously installed apps all "magically" (as steve jobs would say) appear in ur programs list...
Summary....wit d option on..wheneva u install an app 4rom d market, android simply remembers the app link, saves it & connects it wit ur email..then when next u flash, it simply re-connects 2 those apps, downloads em and installs...all r done automatically (while sync is on)...Sync takes awhile so u'll have 2 let ur fone settle.

Simple, either on android or WinMo....Just use the built in format option or download n use this sd formatter...Use an external sd card reader or connect ur device as mass storage to format.
I have the hd2 leo and was using the original windows rom that comes with the phone 2 days ago it froze and I had to take the battery off to restart it . but it opened as a new phone with the setup wizard and deleted all the info stored I sync with outlook to get the contacts back. yesterday it froze again but this time it only opens on the welcome pic for t mobile and then the red numbers that shows on the left lower corner of the screen and does not move I think I can install android I did it before on another hd2 but I dont have the links to download the files i need and which version do you recommend for me to install on it .
