flashing without sim card

[Megaman12]

Can i flash without my sim card in the phone and then put it back in and have my contacts on a new ROM? because im sick of redoing my contacts :mad:

it shouldnt erase your contacts thats on your sim....i think you have your contacts saved on the phone...not the same.

use sim manager to copy all contacts to sim and you can flash while having the sim card in as well.

but to be on the safe side try to pull it out before flashing and just use sim manager again to transfer contacts from sim back to the phone.

Sure dude :) sim card has nothing to do with flashing. Save all your contacts to sim first and keep it in the phone or take it out; doesn't matter

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705 Works really well. You can do a backup and save it to your SD card or desktop, flash, and restore.
