Hi, I was on hboot 1.01.0001 so I finally got S-OFFed today. I flashed Ruu 1.37 and now I am on hboot 0.80.0007 and S-OFF.
However, I can't root with Unrevoked (tried 3.21, 3.22 and 3.32 Windows and Ubuntu versions, where I could root the same ROM time ago).
I also can't flash a Clockworkmod recovery from the recovery I have now (stock one) for failed signature verification and I don't know what to do... Now i get Bakcup CID missing in Unrevoked too...
Please any help. It must be a little thing, but I don't know.
EDIT: I finally got it with a test version of Unrevoked. Posted in the 4th post of this thread.
Thanks

Same here. Got S-OFF and superuser is working now. Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new.
Rom Manager says it installs Clockwork recovery but recovery is not working??
Anyone?

But are you still on hboot 1.01.0001? Because if Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new that may be. Or have you flashed an older RUU?
How have you got superuser???

Hey! If you are in hboot 0.80 (Flash 1.37 RUU), I finally found a test version of Unrevoked here that installed Clockworkmod recovery!!!
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/howto-fix-the-backup-cid-missing-error-on-unrevoked/
Option 1--> downlod the file, is the Unrevoked test version. Run it, it works!!
I hope if it useful to somebody.
Do you guys even know what's the purpose of having S-OFF?!
If you phone's NAND is unlocked, just get temp root and flash the recovery

Hey I am sorry! I did what I could. I tried Unrevoked and didn't work so I eventually got an Unrevoked version that did the trick.
Excuse me if I can't do another way without having the steps to follow.
I had the same problem first i set s-off, then flashed and older RUU, then unrevoked 3.14 and that worked for me......so good and easy and fast!

If you get the error-message concerning the cid in Unrevoked - just adb into the phone, run the __unrevoked__ script in /system and flash the clockwork-mod after that. From there you can install rooted images like you want ..

Rooting after S-OFF
Hi guys,
I`ll share here my experience.
There are mainly two different methods (with some variations) of obtaining ROOT after S-OFF (with XTC Clip).
1-st (and likely undesirable to me) is exactly: downgrading > Unrevoked > upgrading.
- And why so?
There have some disadvantages:
- downgrading is additional flashing of the device and is unnecessary at all (you`ll see later).
- need of connection to computer.
2-nd (very desirable metnod) is to install CWM Recovery right away S-OFF. Even this procedure is not a must, but makes your life easier. Then You can flash right from SD card whichever ROM you like.
- And what advantage gives this to me?
- Only 1 flash procedure, no need of downgrades. Flashing with already rooted ROM (any custom or rooted stock) gives you ROOT access with only 1 step.
- There is no Unrevoked procedure, thats mean no need of computer connection at all.
The most painless and secure algorithm is:
1. S-OFF (by XTC Clip)
2. Install ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery - Here you`ll find recovery .img and .zip for all supported models.
How to install CWM Recovery?
As example I`ll give Wildfire aka Buzz:
- You`ll need to upload PC49IMG.zip (last CWM 3.0.0.6) on top of your sdcard ( NOT in any folder).
- Boot the smart in bootloader (holding VOLUME DOWN then POWER). You will be asked to install the ZIP file (Yes is right answer). Recovery will then install automatic, DO NOT press any buttons before finishing of process.
3. Backup/Restore Your current ROM:
- Starting Recovery: in bootloader navigate (with VOLUM DOWN) to "recovery", then POWER to enter in CWM Recovery menu.
- Navigation: TRACKPAD or VOLUME button to navigate trough menus, to select them press TRACKPAD button. Use BACK touch button to back in menus.
- Backup: you`ll find "Backup" menu under "backup and restore" main menu - When pressing "Backup" then CWM will perform backup of current state of the device. If succeed you'll see "Backup complete" message.
- Restore: you`ll see this menu as "Restore" right under "Backup". The menu gives you a list of available backups to restore. There have to be at least 1 backup to perform restore operation.
4. Wipe ONLY cache/dalvik when performing next step (5.) (if you want to save all data and settings, else do data/factory reset also which is recommended before flashing any custom ROM):
- just "wipe cache partition" in main menu and under "advanced" perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
- "wipe data/factory reset" - perform this action, ONLY if want to flash custom ROMs. This action will RESET smart to its factory settings (you`ll lose all data and settings except those saved on sdcard).
5.(optional) Install su binary with Superuser rootpack:
- download Eclair-Froyo-Gingerbread rootpack
- place the file as is on sdcard or in some folder on sdcard (there is no need to be on top of sdcard)
- boot in recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" menu, then "choose zip from sdcard" submenu - here you can browse through sdcard folders and install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip (or your ROM or any update, e.g. radio, kernel etc.).
6.(optional) Make backup of Rooted ROM - see (3. : Backup)
7.(optional) Install some backup application like Titanium Backup (or PRO) or MyBackupRoot (or PRO) - this is optional but recommended. When backing up your Applications+Data you can restore them even after flashing custom ROM (which is performed after data/factory reset, and all applications and data will be wiped).
8. Install any custom or stock ROM:
- for stock ROM see 5.
- for custom ROM perform 4. (including "wipe data/factory reset"), then 5.
9.(optional) Restore Your applications and data - when Custom ROM is installed there is need to perform data/factory reset. Any backup of applications and data performed in step (7.) could be restored in freshly flashed Custom ROM.
NOTE: Later on I`ll add some additional stuff here - useful links and more deep explanation of mentioned algorithm if needed.
Happy Rooting!

First, thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate that these forums get a lot of frustrating posts with people asking questions that have already been answered, and it is not my intention to do that. I have been lurking on these forums for a while, and have read around quite a bit of information. However, I cannot find the exact answers I am after.
To start, I am now on my 2nd HTC Magic 32B (Voda UK), after I sent my initial phone off for repair. I was running Cyanogen Mod on this phone, and flashed this rom by fastbooting in to Cyanogen's Recovery and going from there.
I was careful to take a nandroid backup before I flashed, and as such, when the time came to said the phone off for repair, I was able to restore the backup and send it off with the stock firmware running.
Unfortunately, the phone I have now received has a 'perfect' SPL, HBOOT-1.33.0007, so I cannot flash a rom using the same method.
My primary concern through all of this, is finding a way to flash roms such that I can revert everything back to normal if the need arises.
I have read around 1-click rooting, so, my proposed method at the moment would be:
1) use Flashrec to boot into Cyanogen Recovery
2) Backup using nandroid
3) using adb shell to flash Cyanogen Recovery
4) use Cyanogen Recovery to flash rom
I should now be in a position where I can a) flash back to the original recovery if needed, using the backup from nandroid, and b) flash back to the original rom if needed, using the backup from nandroid.
Would this work as I hope?
I have read about having to 'downgrade' the SPL when wishing to restore a nandroid backup, but I did not need to previously. What are the circumstances where you do need to? - I would not want to do this, since I have no way of flashing the original SPL back. I presume there is no way to backup my SPL? so I could return to it if need be?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me.
Cheers.
I have a Rogers 32A that had a Perfect SPL (1.33.0010) on it and I got a rooted recovery ROM by using One Click Root. The Perfect SPL wasn't allowing me to fastboot at all (giving me a "no access" error or something). So instead I booted running the stock software, and used the one click root program to backup my ROM and then flash a recovery ROM (used the default Cyanogen Recovery 1.4). Then when I rebooted while holding down Power + Home, I came right into my rooted recovery ROM where I could install whatever .zip ROM I wanted (AFTER I BACKED UP WITH NANDROID, of course).
I didn't need to use ADB for anything, and I still ended up with root. So I guess I'm confused when you say you're going to use flashrec to boot into cyanogen recovery and then use adb shell to flash cyanogen recovery. I was under the impresion that flashrec FLASHES cyanogen recovery for you, eliminating the need to use ADB/Fastboot. Assumed "flashrec" stood for "Flash Recovery ROM".
My steps were:
1) Install/run flashrec
2) In FlashRec: Backup your current ROM
3) In FlashRec: Select a new recovery ROM to Flash (has Cyanogen's by default, can change to something on your SD Card)
4) In FlashRec: Flash the Recovery ROM
5) Exit FlashRec and reboot into Recovery Mode (Hold Home and Power)
6) You're done, you have a rooted phone. Go ahead and Nandroid a backup, wipe your data, and install a new ROM.
Thanks for your reply.
It is my understanding that flashrec does not flash the recovery rom, but just allows you to boot to it. (Similar to the fastboot boot filename.img command). I would guess that if you reboot your phone using home + power now, that it would boot to the standard recovery.
If it is the case that flashrec does flash the recovery image, then that would be handy, and presumably the backup could be restored using either nandroid or adb.
Thanks, this clarifies that my rooting procedure is along the right lines, however I am still concerned whether flashing everything back to normal will go as I expect.
Just booted into recovery, and its still CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF.
I'm trying to think if I did anything special during my rooting efforts. I don't think I did. I know that I flashrec'd twice. the First was with Amon_Ra's recovery console, and then I did it again a bit later with Cyanogen's. But I'm positive I was never able to successfully use adb's fastboot command due to my perfected SPL.
And you're right, I didn't address your concerns about unrooting at a later date. I assume that is what you're doing when you use flashrec to create a backup of the stock Recovery ROM, but i'm not positive.
Taken from:
http://www.ryebrye.com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/
EVERY TIME YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE INTO NORMAL ANDROID IT UNDOES WHAT YOU JUST DID. Every time android boots, it reflashes the recovery partition with the default one from a file stored in your phone. For safety reasons, we are not replacing this file – just flashing the partition directly. So if you boot to recovery mode, then boot back into your normal mode, and then boot back into recovery mode – you will see a triangle with an exclamation point and only 3 options.

So I'm not sure what's going on.
Thanks for your input. I think I'm nearing enough confidence to go ahead and give this a try. Probably tomorrow.
Hi ParanoiaPersonified - can you post an update when you flash? I also have a new Voda Magic with the same SPL as yourself.....I got the OTA upgrade to Donut yesterday which I may have been silly about accepting.
I wasn't too impressed with the speed improvements in Donut and now want to flash something built by one of the XDA chefs, but am having problems rooting with the traditional methods - even 1 click doesn't seem to work....
Cheers.
It is my understanding that one-click-root only works on 1.5, and the exploit that it uses is patched in 1.6. I think you may need to use the 'gold card' method, radita.
I've realised that my handset has a fault (the scrollwheel does not work when scrolling to the right), so I will be unfortunately waiting for a replacement handset before taking any of the steps mentioned above.
Hopefully the replacement does come with 1.6 pre-installed!
"Gold card" method looks a little more involved....guess I don't have a choice though.
Thanks.
Hello all,
I was one of those people who used the unrEVOked root to simply obtain wireless tether. Now that I have it, I cant update to Froyo. Would anyone be able to suggest a method to obtain full root so I can just flash a Froyo ROM?
FYI, I dont have adb shell or android sdk installed. I was looking at toast's method however I am unsure, if that is the correct path to march in. I have no problem learning adb shell if necessary.
Thanks in advance and look forward to buying someone a beer.
you can try SimpleRoot 1 click (check your software version as there are two separate SimpleRoot threads, one for 1.47.651.1 and the other for the older version)
I had unrevoked as well. This is what you need to do:
Download simple root.
Click button 1 root, follow prompts. reboot.
click button 2 recovery, select ra recovery. reboot.
Download rom, radio, and wimax. Put all into SD card.
Boot into recovery. (power & vol down)
wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Select update from sd. choose select zip file (not update.zip)
select rom zip, install. reboot
Boot into recovery. (power & vol down)
install radio, then wimax(same way as rom). Pretty sure you should reboot each time. That's what I did atleast.
That's it. I updated my profile afterwards in system updates to make sure no problems w/ data occurred.
hhhmmm ill have to try that! thanks!
Can anyone else confirm this?
dlbevo
You can flash some ROMs, including netarchy's rooted stock ROMs, without a "full root". Even though Unrevoked is not a full root, the NAND is unlocked when you are in the ClockworkMod recovery.
Hi Forumers,
I'm newly join the Android group previously from WM & iOS4
I read through all the threads regarding on the flashing....
But can't get it into my brain..
Too many combination need to apply in-order to flash the rom.
I really need a clear instruction before proceed the rom flash.
Referring to 1 of the most popular rom LeeDrOiD HD v1.2
In my mind now:..
1. Download the LeeDrOiD HD v1.2 rom
2. Download 2.5.1.2 r1 ClockworkMod Recovery for Desire HD. (what's the use of this software and when to use it)
3. Download fastboot (This software is the combination of the ClockworkMod Recovery)
Should i include this 2 software into the flash stage?
What is the purpose of proceeding this 2 software or is just a recovery system software?
4. Drop the ROM zip on your SD
5. Boot into recovery (volume down + Power)
6. Run a NANDROID backup.....(Is this a backup software on the stock rom?)
7. A full wipe/factory reset is optional at this point.
8. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
9. Select "choose zip fom sdcard"
10. Select "LeeDrOiD_HD_VX.X.zip
11. Wait for flashing to complete
12. Reboot........
Hello. There is many steps the 1st time so it can be confusing.
Have you rooted your phone yet?
Clockwork mod is the software you need to be able to flash your roms. If you get rom manager from the market it can now install clockwork for you.
Fastboot allows you to gain access to your phone from the pc. It lets you run commands and push/pull packages to and from your phone.
The nandroid backup allows you to take an image of your phone so you can recover it if something goes wrong.
Your best bet is to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444 then install rom manager flash clockworkmod from there. Run the backup and then install your rom.
Hello jonkers71,
Just to find out with you....
Should i refer to this thread on the rooting?

unrevoked doesen`t work with Desire HD
HEY! I finally see Another Malaysian in this thread. I'm so glad =)
As for flashing, i followed this:
How to flash?
1. Make a backup of your data like contacts, calendar events, sms, bookmarks, etc..
2. Download ROM and WIPING TOOL and put both to your SD card
3. Start your device in recovery mode
4. In recovery mode, go to "mounts and storage" and select: format boot, format system, format data (optionally), format cache.
At the end you can also select wipe data/factory reset (optionally) and wipe cache partition (just to make sure everything is wiped)
I also recommend doing "wipe battery stats" under "advanced" section.
5. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
6. Select "choose zip fom sdcard" & select FULL-WIPE-1.2.zip and when it's finished, do the same with ROM.

Yes the process is quite compoicated, by then you are about to strip HTC's security from your device
You really need to read one of the rooting threads from the beginning before you proceed, but in essence what you need to do is
Root with visionary
apply h-boot s-off ( possibly radio s-off)
install rom manager and throught this clockwork recovery
choose and download your chosen ROM
choose to install rom from within rom manager
make sure to select wipe and backup options when offered
enjoy
It is beyond a single post to go into the detail required so please read and understand the required threads for all the stages before proceeding, it will save a lit of heartbreak in the long run
it was clear for me, even if i had no real android experience
like you i came from iOS...
ok my girlfriend had an SGS since 4 months, but SGS flashing was with odin (at least the first flashs)
but for the desire hd you need to
1: turn the HBOOT to S-OFF (not necessary, but better)
2: change the superCID value (not necessary, but better)
3: root your phone with visionary+
4: install rommanager from market (so you can install clockworkmod easyly)
5: reboot into clockworkmod and install the rom zip
What part is complicated? I will see if I can help you out.
I think currently the thread I posted is the best way to do it but I think I have seen a one click solution on here as well.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Today.....I learn a lesson on how to flash Android rom..
Finally i manage to flash the android rom.
Thank pal...by guiding me..
I've got me a xtc clip and found out the hard way to use it.
so far so good, S-off and I decided to get CWR to install a rooted rom
I installed CWR 3006 and so no Amend scripting and no Sense based roms
So I treid to downgrade CWR 3 to a 2version and failed.
Then I decide to downgrade 2.2.1 to use unrevoked to get root and hopfully downgrade CWR the sametime.
Yeah great the downgrade went fine but I got a touchpanel fail with several RUU i treid
what to do next I've manged to get CWR 3006 back on cause I made a nandroid backup and could reverse it
With that backup version running the touchscreen responded again alltouh in fast boot menu it still said touchpanel fail.
I've got me a full day of involving with my buzz and I'm back to were I started
very frustating.
I'm to stupid to downgrade CRW can't get root with unrevoked cause its telling me it can't flash recovery image
yeah you my laugh about me but I'm not giving up
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to downgrade CWR from 3 to a 2 version, I still don't have root and it needs to be noob proof please
i've tried so many times but always failed :-(
( if this post is offtopic pleace remove by a mod sorry I had to tell someone)
Install ROM Manager, and, install a Recovery through it. It will install CWM 2.5.0.7, and, entering Recovery Mode through ROM Manager will load up 2.5.0.7
This way, you will have both CWMs, 2.x and 3.x, which is exactly what I am following at the moment.
(Didn't read your entire thread, just went through the gist of it, sorry)
thanks for your answer
my problem is I still can't get root so I can not use Rom manager.
I've succeed in getting a lower Hboot to use Unrevoked
but it's given me "cant install recovery image", so I think it's conflicting with 3006
I do not know how to get rid of CRW and put the original one back in place.
By downgrading from a official RUU I get touchpanel-fail so I cant activate usb debugging and install from other then market this means so unrevoked can't do his job.
life is so frustrating sometime.......
me again I've been thinking about CWR.
to make a PC49IMG.zip of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with andriod-info.txt and the recovery.img. and give it a go.
will this function or am I just bricking the phone?
Since you have s-off:
Find fastboot binary (google)
save it somewhere
open terminal/command prompt. cd to the directory where you saved it ("cd /path/to/fastboot/")
reboot phone into bootloader. choose fastboot.
in command prompt/terminal type
$fastboot flash recovery <recoveryfile.img>
where recoveryfile.img is your recovery image (including the path to it, or just save the image wherever fastboot is)
edit: wait a minute, you downgraded your bootloader after getting s-off? WHY ON EARTH??? you crazy?
Id say some semi skimmed milk
thanks nhnt11 for your answer
to your question of downgrading bootloader got it up again
installed a oficial RUU froyo and started all over again, it solved the touchpanel fail and I installed a CRW 2.5 and I'm back in bisness
this is how I succeeded:
"Dont try to downgrade and get root with unrevoked this will end up in a touchpanel-fail ( and you have to upgrade a Ruu froyo to get rid of it)"
Get S-off with xtc clip
2.2.1 Stock Rom Rooted : http://www.multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
Recovery, Radio Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/451971561/PC49IMG.zip
1) Download Above Files
2) Copy PC49IMG.zip to the Root of your SD Card
3) Copy the Rooted Stock Rom to the SD Card and rename it to update.zip
4) Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power
5) It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
6) Remove the SD Card and Reboot Back to Hboot Mode and select recovery using Volume Down then Power to select.
7) You should see a nice ClockWork Recovery system.
8) Reinsert the Gold Card and select apply update.zip from SDcard.
9) Let that finish then do a Wipe data/factory (Will Loose All Data and Settings only perform if your going to use another Rom!)
10) Do a wipe cache partition and in advance do wipe dalvik cache.
11) Reboot phone and Enjoy your Rooted Wildfire with Hboot 1.01.001.

is this going to work on the Aria?
Can somebody update this list with the actual links to what you saying to download? I would like to give this a try, but not sure where all these links are.
Assuming you are comfortable with the issues and concepts associated with rooting (terms like bootloader, recovery and ROM's), I suggest you do the following:
1. Go to unrevoked.com and root the Incredible; also run unrevoked-forever to secure S-OFF status.
2. Go to dougpiston.com and get the latest CWM for the phone; 3.0.0.7 if it's Amoled display (Hardware version 2) or SLCD (Hardware version 3). (BTW, note that this ROM erroneously reports Amoled Incredibles as the wrong hardware version). Flash that from hboot. Remove the file from the root directory of the SD card afterwards.
3. Download the 7.07 leaked radio; download the ROM; download the updated OTA kernel from a few days ago.
4. Flash away (I would do ROM, kernel, then radio. Remember to flash dalvik/cache before flashing a kernel; and remember that the radio is flashed in hboot.)

Is that what you're looking for?
EDIT: In your Step 4, when you go to Doug Piston's site for the ROM flashing tutorial, after the screen shot to "Wipe Cache Partition", I also do the following:
Mounts and Storage - format /system; format /boot; format /data
Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
Then continue on to the following screen shot on the page, with "Installing zip from SD Card".

Let me look through your links.. I have already done unrevoked and am S-OFF. I had flashed CM7 but when back to stock looking to flash that OTA that was "suppose" to come out. I'm tired of waiting and Nils ROM looks more of what I am looking for then CM7. But there just seems to be a lot more steps. I am not sure what the latest CWM means? Also not positive on which LCD screen I have.

CWM is ClockworkMod Recovery, which is where you go to flash/backup ROMs. You can update it by downloading the zip and putting it onto the root of your SD card, renaming it PB31IMG.zip, booting into the bootloader (phone off, hold volume down and power buttons), and installing it that way.
You can also open ROM Manager to flash a recovery too. Easier that the PB31IMG.zip way, but they both get the same thing done. If you have an SLCD screen and you have the wrong recovery, when you go into recovery the screen will be black with two white lines down the sides, from what I remember.

AH.... .. OK... Don't know why I didn't catch that CWM... I think I have what I need, hopefully tonight after work I can try this out. If I recall I can see what LCD I have by the model number of the phone... I'll google that quick.
Ok so from what I am reading CWM 3x is not required for flashing ROMs on the Inc... I have it installed but it is version 2.x.. Do I have to have version 3x to flash Nil's 3.0 ROM?
It's not, well not necessarily...but for the 2.1/3.0 Sense ROMs ClockworkMod Recovery does need to be at 3.x.
You can go here to download 3.0.0.8, rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, and with phone powered off hold down volume down + power buttons to get to HBOOT and flash it that way.
There may be a flashable zip for this somewhere to update, but doing this through HBOOT is pretty simple too.

thx.. but can you tell me how I know which screen I have so I do not install the wrong version? From what I am reading there is a version for AMOLED and SLCD??
Forget it.. I see it is for both 3.0.0.8.. thx...!!

The green text of version 2.5.1.2 will change to orange for 3.0.0.8.
Got it.. thx...!! Ok just one more question I think.. In step 3
3. Download the 7.07 leaked radio; download the ROM; download the updated OTA kernel from a few days ago. Link is here.
If I go to your link that is the link for the OTA 7.07 Radio. The ROM I know where to get, but what about the kernel? Does that link install both the radio and the kernel? and then I just need the ROM?

If you're running a GingerSense ROM (NilsP's Ginger Business Sense is), then go here. The thread for this is here. It's a zip file, you flash in CWM like you did the ROM. Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik before flashing a kernel.
If you're running a Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM, you'll need a Sense kernel. An AOSP ROM needs an AOSP kernel. Kernel threads will tell you what version of Android it is compatible with. Flashing an AOSP to Sense won't work, and vice versa. I ran Tiny's Beta5 kernel with NilsP's ROM (here), and it worked great.
The radio link is only for the radio, so it only installs the radio. The kernel link/thread I am linking you to here is for only the GingerSense kernel, compatible with 2.3 GingerSense ROMs.
OK, I think I have it then. I was going to flash Nils •Nils Business GingerSense 3.0 so the link you provided for the kernel should be the one I need right? I have CWM 3.0.0.8 flashed now. I have the correct HBOOT, I also downloaded the OTA Radio, so I think I have everything I need.
One last question if you don't mind... If I use CWM to backup my current system, does it backup, (ROM, radio, and kernel) or if I wanted to go back at anytime would I have to flash the radio and kernel seperate? Have not used CWM to do backup and restore yet.

Yes, that link is the download for the kernel zip file. It'll prompt you to save it somewhere.
A ROM backup backs up the entire ROM and kernel, radio doesn't get backed up as it is completely separate from the ROM/kernel. Don't need to back up the radio. So if you needed to restore a backup, you'd do the wiping of user data and everything like you do before flashing a new ROM. Then when you go to Backup and Restore - Restore, you select your backup, and it brings it back to the point you made the backup (ROM and kernel).
So keep up to date backups, as if you have say a two month old backup that you'd restore, any texts/app info would restore to the point the two month old backup was made. Does that make sense?
Yep... thx for all the info and taking the time...
No problem! Glad to help!
just curious... do you know if the Clock App that is in the stock Android 2.2... Is that still in Nil's ROM? I had tried CM7 and it was not in there. I use that app all the time, so was just curious if it is in there. I like the Time, Alarm, Timer, Stopwatch all in the same App...
I believe it is, since the ROM uses HTC Sense. It also has the HTC Clock widget.
