[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Anyone know how to backup:

1) Email settings (such as an IMAP or POP3) and password

2) Bluetooth pairings

3) Wifi settings/passwords

4) Google login

Each time I flash a new ROM, etc, these items have to be set up by hand; some of which need to be done before you can do anything else.

I have Titanium Backup (doesn't do it), and MyBackupPro (will restore system settings). I don't know if the 'system settings' includes these items OR if one can/should even restore system settings between ROMs.

Anyone know a good way to backup/restore these essential setups?

I thought you CANNOT restore system data from one rom to another.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
It depends on from which ROM you're going to and from. It is definitely not universal. From stock to CM it tends to crash, but from stock to Virtuous (which is about as close to stock as you can get) it works. I haven't sat down and experimented to get a by-ROM list.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Hmmm

So from what I can tell, there is no batch file to easy handle this. I suspect that one needs to do:

1) Backup all user apps -> select all -> backup

2) Backup all system data -> de-select all -> select the green items -> backup

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellyculligan:
Hello folks,

Generally loving my Vibrant, of course hungry for Froyo. I have two Vibrants, the first I've been using and have modded it with root and other enhancements. I gave the other phone to a friend as a gift, but when I wanted to root theirs using the same method I've used on multiple occasions, it would NOT boot into the recovery mode. I use the UP + DOWN push, plus the power button. No dice, just get the cheesy "come together" Tmobile screen, I tried up, down, waited for the Samsung to flash twice, no dice. It was not that complicated on my phone and I can continue to do so. I have looked up threads and there is suspicion that T Mobile disabled this on later vesrions? This version was shipped to me slightly after my own, within a week or so.

It would be disheartening if I couldn't root and make his phone more efficient to deal with the battery hog issues as well as other enhancments. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I've treid multiple combinations and never get into the utility/recovery screen.

Any thoughts on this? I tried rooting before that with the Ryan one click lag fix, and it seemed to indicate it was done,b ut then Iwhen I opened ROM manager, it said it was not rooted yet. Then when I tried the one click app fix again, it mentioned it couldn't because soemthing about the SD card mounting,etc. I could put the stock PIT file on it via ODIN could I not? But I dont' want to go to all that hassle if it's something else. Is there a another app solution that can root for you? I can mount and drag the update zip there, but can't get tot he screen to reinstall packages.

Hopefully TMobile isn't stripping this down so we can't customize and it's something else but I'm trying all combinations short of doing the hokey pokey.

Thanks in advance!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellyculligan:
thank you guys, I was afraid of that. one of the phones greatest assets was it's hackability. Froyo had better do something with battery consumption, speed, etc, or this phone will be a great screen and not much more. boo to hardware lockdowns! let the hackers hack and if you want to void the warranty, do it. I'll see about this ADB mode, I'm wondering if someone can create an app that would successfully root so ROM manager will work. I wonder why the one click fix lag app, which supposedly roots, did not. It seems like an overall lock down on this access?

At any rate, I'll try the other options but it's looking like more and more, my buddy will be a slave to Samsung release timeframe, and thats assuming froyo and updates will fix significant bugs and improve battery life.

thanks again guys! I'll keep trying.

You can rename your current android folder and then install a new one. I don't know about maintaining all your pages and settings. But the problem that you run into while installing multiple versions of android is that they may become corrupt and then you start getting SOD's and other errors.

(On a side note: Its been speculated that you can run scan disks on your sd card when it becomes corrupt. But this didn't fix my problem. SOOO, frustrated, I reformatted the SD card and started over. I've settled on Mattc's 1.7.)

First of all, i am very sorry if i made a stupid Question because of my noobs. But i am preparing to flash DangerSPL onto my G1, and still dont know which radio should be chosen. I've been spending hours reading info from several posts on xda but cant find answer yet

There are two radios compatible with DangerSPL

2.22.23.02 for T-mobile/US

2.22.19.26i for Non-US

My current radio is 2.22.20.23

That's what I can't get through. My G1 is a QWERTZ one, which I guess it's a Non-US and 2.22.19.26i is better for me? But the first one is mentioned much more frequently in posts, means it's famous/or better than the other?

Please help me figure out

Thanks very much, and sorry again for my stupid Q :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantumtransfer:
Ok, to be successful. You will need to FLASH the radio before the SPL.

You can find both the radio and SPL here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

DO NOT attempt to downgrade your radio at anytime after installing this SPL as it WILL brick your phone.

ok thanks much for your help :D

But those stuffs have been reading over and over by me, and i still can't find out which radio should i flash. The 2.22.23.02 (which refers to smth more common and used by more people) or the 2.22.19.26i ? The sapphire-port-dream website says that the 26i is the latest version

This my first time flashing radio and upgrading to DangerSPL, so i'm very scared of bricking =.= Can you figure out for me which one is for my phone ? Thanks ^^

BTW, my board is a PVT one, rooted, but the very first bootscreen contains a grey and blur G1 in the center and a "T-mobile" (with the red T and four white dots like in the logo of T-mobile) at the bottom of the screen. It's not the all-white-big-centered "T-mobile G1" like most of those i see on the google or youtube. Is there anything important ?

(I can't post images along with this bcause of the new member's restricted right, so i will attact them instead. The worse quality one is mine)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
Splash screen can be changed. To check go to bootloader, power on the phone holding camera button and see what do you have..it will show if you have 32A or 32B board.

1.33.2003 is compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios

1.33.2005 is compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios

So 2.x radio is safest. The combination has to be maintained otherwise you can brick the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
DO NOT INSTALL DEATHSPL!!!!

There is NO REASON for it!

What people use it for is obtaining a different flash partition layout on the internal memory. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS!!!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874

The DEFAULT setup of this yields you a SYSTEM partition that is the SAME SIZE as deathspl, and a USERDATA partition that is ***FIFTEEN MEGABYTES LARGER*** than deathspl.

Install SPL 1.33.2003 (ending with a THREE) and any 2.X radio ***IN ANY ORDER IT DOESN'T MATTER***. ZERO brick risk, and SUPERIOR to deathspl.

Further information;

1) PVT/DVT, DESPITE what some of the feeble minded morons who don't know what they're talking about claim, ****IS IRRELEVANT****. There is *NO DIFFERENCE* between a PVT and a DVT.

2) ALL DREAMS (100% there is not a SINGLE exception) are 32B. The ONLY device where there is any question of whether it is a 32A or B is MAGIC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Thanks so much lbcoder :)

It's because i think that deathspl is the only hope in order to get to Cyanogen or CaNNoN roms. And flashing radio and spl somehow is the most risky step :|

Did you mean that, by following that Firerat's guide, i am enabled to flash SPL 1.33.2003 and radio 2.xx in any order? Is 1.33.2003 deathspl or not ? And i want to flash CaNNoN CE 2.2.1, so is this good for me

^^ Thanks again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
It doesn't appear that you bothered to read either what I said or the thread I linked you to. READ AGAIN!

There is NO BENEFIT TO DEATHSPL. It does NOTHING USEFUL. There are BETTER WAYS to accomplish the same thing that do NOT involve ANY kind of RISK!

Anyone who things that is WRONG.

No. That is not a guide! It is a PROCESS, which has NOTHING to do with flashing radios or SPLs! It has to do with PARTITION TABLES.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

The SPL has NOTHING to do with what you can flash to the phone. You do NOT need deathSPL. It is POINTLESS. The ONLY thing you accomplish with the deathSPL is that you RISK BRICKING YOUR PHONE!

I suggest the 1.33.2003 SPL because it is a FULL ENGINEERING SPL that is 100% compatible with 0.95.x000 (the SPL that your phone SHIPPED WITH). **IT WILL NOT BRICK**.

Using the recovery-installable patches supplied by Firerat will enable you to flash ANY system image to your phone. NO EXCEPTION.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Ok ok. I am a stupid man, so please don't blame on me ^^

Let me ask a very last question. As i can see from your advise, after flashing those CustomMTD, i can flash ANY system image(ROMs) to my phone without upgrading to 2.xx or the pointless dealthy spl. Is it right? In other words, i still can use CM or CE roms with 0.95.x000 radio?

And is it harmful or not if i want to upgrade to 2.xx radio? (still want smth new :"> )
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
well, no one ? :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
0.95.x000 is default SPL, not radio.

You have to flash new SPL (if you're still on default), but not Haykuro/Death/Danger/Apocalipse (1.33.2005) which is not compatible with 1.x radios (and this is common reason of brick), but so called SafeSPL (1.33.2003) which has same low-level access to phone (fastboot, so it's giving you as much as 2005), but it is compatible either with 1.x radios and 2.x radios, so there is no chance to brick.

After you have engineering SPL (2003 or 2005, but in this case we're talking about 2003) you can use MTD Partition Hack to change partition layout on your phone (same thing that is Haykuro doing, but now you can manually resize them in order to get more place for apps in internal memory). This is needed for 2.1+ and Sense ROMs, because they do not fit in standard 70 mb /system partition (they need 90).

When you have both new SPL and /system big enough, you can flash EVERY ROM you want. If there is requirement for HaykuroSPL in OP of ROM thread, IGNORE IT. This is requirement for 90mb /system partition, which now can be achieved also by MTD PH.

Upgrading to 2.x radio is recommended, new radio means better signal reception and less battery drain.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jilee:
Thank you very much raven. Your answer is very clear and kindly. So, now I have to flash SafeSPL, then MTD PH, and after that I can use any ROMs, and 2.x radio are optional (can flash or not, can flash after the safespl, it doesnt matter) right? I am so excited. Thanks again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
I think this order is correct:

Custom recovery (Amon RA or Clockworkmod, ignore this step if you already have custom recovery)

SafeSPL

MTD PH (recovery patch)

ROM flash

MTD PH (ROM/boot patch)

Optional: 2.x radio.

I am glad to help and your thanks made my day :). Just remember to put

90 2

in mtdpartmap.txt on root of sd card to prepare enough space for 2.x ROMs. You may also have to fake Haykuro SPL, which is simply done by editing mtdpartmap.txt in this way

90 2
spl 1.33.2005

Remember to patch recovery, wipe data&cache&system, reflash/nandbackup ROM and flash boot patch after every change in mtdpartmap.txt.
