Is there any reason that I couldn't use a copy of my 1st Nandroid Backup, (412 MB) stock FRF91, as opposed to using the Original Shipping Rom Tutorial, if say I had to send my phone in for warranty work? Seems like it would be a little easier and put my device right where i want it to be.

is there just a stock rom i need to flash? i sold my hero on the big auction site for anticpation of the evo and idk if i should put stock back on and if so where to get it.
search the threads or go to sprints website and download the 2.1 ruu
dont flash the ruu, maybe the new owner wants to root it. just wipe it, did you specify anything about rom or root?
Ask the buyer if he still wants it unlocked. If you were smart when you first got your hero you made a stock rom image backup in case. You can still preserve root by restoring this.
Depends on how you rooted. If you used flashrec it made a backup of the 1.5 recovery image. You can use the shell to reflash this recovery image, the instructions can be found on the RA release thread. That way the user could still root if they wanted.
Hello guys, im planning to root and flash my wildfire device for the first time, i already studied and review all related things on hot thing done in wildfire..
now, the only question and seems not posted here..
As i bought my wildfire the stock ROM version is "1.25.707.1 cl227575 release-keys", where can i download this ROM so that incase i got a problems with different custom roms i can revert it back to my original rom version, i cant seems to find it in SHIPPED-ROMs website..
and if there no such thing as that version in the net, is it possible to backup my original ROM?.. (i guess not because i need first the custom loader to have the backup features which will wipe first my original rom before i can backup)..
Thanks!..
as far as i am aware you can use unrevoked to root your phone. this will also install clockworkmod which replaces stock HTC recovery tool. within clockword mod you can make a backup of your current ROM and all apps and settings etc. you dont need a custom ROM to backup your existing ROM. just need your phone to be rooted. which is pretty much a one click process once you have got the windows drivers installed.
not sure about posting external links on forum but google unrevoked and see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7895908&postcount=127
good luck
I'm doing a device swap. I'm running CM6.1 RC1 on my AMOLED N1, and I know it's also compatible with SLCD. Currently the AMOLED phone still has the old HBOOT (0.33.0012 I think). I'm assuming the replacement device could end up being SLCD (which is fine by me).
Now that ClockwordMod 2.5.11 is compatible with SLCD, I was thinking I'd do a full nandroid backup from the AMOLED phone and restore it to the SLCD phone.
However I noticed that Clockwork takes a backup of boot.img as part of the process. If I restore this nandroid to the SLCD phone, will it downgrade the HBOOT to 0.33.0012? And more importantly, is this going to mess up the phone? I seem to remember reading something along the lines that if you downgrade HBOOT on an SLCD N1, not only will the screen fail to work in the bootloader, but it may fail to work in the recovery and OS as well.
Would I be safer to do an "advanced restore", and restore every partition *except* boot?
boot.img isn't HBOOT, it's part of the system. HBOOT is a whole different thing, and you can't back it up, only take one from stock distribution ZIP.

Right okay, my mistake. The "revert HBOOT" instructions seem to indicate that the only way to revert it is by PASSIMG, and I presume the use of flash_image to misc is just so that it doesn't fail the version check.
Thanks =)
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm about to do the device swap as well.
So is this to say that a backup from an AMOLED device will, indeed, work on the SLCD variant?
Depends on the ROM you're using. Once you root, and flash Clockwork 2.5.11, take a nandroid backup of the original configuration - that's your way out if you flash an incompatible ROM.

Well, in the end my swap device was AMOLED, so moot point. It was running FRF91, I rooted it with VISIONary, and my nandroid backup restored just fine. The only unhappy apps are Swype (will reinstall) and Shazam (have to email them to transfer unlimited tagging).

I have a hero with cm6 flashed, and I upgraded that line to an evo and that's all fine. But I want to give my hero to my daughter but when they tried to enter the ##code## it wouldn't work. Do I need to restore to my backup before I flashed CM6 or is there an easier way?
You need to flash a sense based ROM for ##codes#
If that backup file you're referring to is a nandroid from the stock hero, then yes restore that AFTER making a nandroid backup of CM6
Thanks, that did it. I was able to enter the ##codes and get the number reprogrammed.
I just bought a Motorola Milestone from a friend with android 2.2.2 fryo already installed and running at 800mhz.
i was just wondering since this isnt exactly the latest rom, how easy is it to install a new rom (are they all ready to go, no weird stuff to install after?) and to go back to the current rom just in case.
it also already has been rooted.
it is very easy. does the phone already have an open recovery installed on it?
dont know really.. i have ROM Manager installed, believe this also contains backup thingy like NANdroid?
Well if you have clockwork recovery already installed just put the custom rom file in your sd card and boot in to recovery then wipe, install zip from sd, pick the rom, wait for it to finish then reboot.
since you're asking for a good rom, and for the relative howto, these are my 2c:
1) you should really put in your sdcard a good recovery, if you don't know what version you have at the moment. Download the zip and put it in your sdcard.

MAKE A FULL NANDROID BACKUP before flashing roms, to get back easily
2) to me, CyanogenMod 7 is the best rom for daily use, since you have a sort of equilibrium between features and performance. I prefere original kabaldan rom, but you could also try OH NO! version. In general, all you have to do is put the zip file you want to flash in sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates, and reboot by holding camera button. You'll get either OpenRecovery menu (wher you'll find "apply update" functions) or standard recovery screen (a warning triangle).
If you get the triangle you have to press volume up and camera button together, and "apply update"; you'll get the aformentioned OpenRecovery menu.
If you want to try CyanogenMod 7, look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 (first post)
KEEP IN MIND that you'll have to put both the rom zip and the gapps zip in the updates fode of your sdcard (that is, these links: https://github.com/downloads/nadlabak/android/update-cm-7.1.2-Milestone-KANG-signed.zip and http://www.multiupload.com/NQAPSYPKIW)
2bis) you should give a look at the milestone development forum; you'll find info about almost every good rom you can use
Scoutme thnx for your reply! yes i was looking at cm7 so i am going to try that. So if i backup and the new rom sucks, i can just go back to the previous one using the backup. Just wanted to know, current rom is actualy really nice and fast, so dont know if cm7 is going to make it slower. Just gonna give it a try then^^

just updated with your link, works perfectly! phone seems fast enough, but does anyone know if its still clocked at 800mhz or is it al back to stock? anyone using this also clocked their phone becouse of getting slower? fyi it was already clocked when i got it
