upgrading to wm 6.5

[gooberguy]

Hey there,

I primarally use this forum for my g1, but I noticed this section, as my girlfriend has this phone. I was wondering how I could upgrade her phone to wm 6.5 via the computer because she does not have internet on her phone. I did some really quick researching once, aand I think I saw something that said all her contacts would be erased. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance :)

If you flash the phone EVERYTHING gets erased ... but if she syncs with her outlook or even via google sync she can save her contacts there and then have her phone flashed and then synch them back to her phone

You can also use an app called PIM Backup that will backup to a file her contacts, text, emails, etc and then when you flash the phone run PIM Backup again and point to the file it created ON THE STORAGE CARD (hint hint LOL) and then run the restore feature and they will be back

If you are interested in running a 6.5ROM on the phone, use this ONE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3526944&postcount=2378) but read THIS THREAD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508544) first especially the how-to on the 2nd post first though
