Im scared to flash a new rom

---

i have the google ion and im quite happy with its stock rom but all the roms you guys have out here look oh so tempting. So here are my questions

1. Can i back up my google ion rom?
2. Does the ion already have root?
3. If i cant back it up, is there an official stock rom that i can use?

thanks guys

oh man

---

i should leave it as it is ... i mean... don´t do anything

why ????????????

why ???????????? are you telling him to leave it ?

Look if your going to do it you will do it dont worry about messing your deviice up it makes you learn how to fix it , i came from htc elf to magic and know nothing about the magics spl roms etc and i knew i would make a mistake somewere along the line which is fine and good as im forced to learn on how to fix it .
Sure enough i flashed it and it got stuck on 2nd boot but after playing and playing i fixed it and understand a lot more about my device so dont be scared mate learn . !!! you have support here just ask and you will be helped asap . enjoy learning happy flashing !

I also have a Google Ion and I have tried at least 3 different ROM's. I currently use the custom Ion ROM.

1. Yes you can backup your current ROM/images using Nandroid.
2. No it does not have root
3. I don't know for sure.

I almost did the same thing as you

Got my Magic last week,.. couldn't stand the vodafone splash, wanted to change it (but was a bit scared..)

After 2,3 days on a weekend, I rooted my Magic and started to experiment with ROMs. I tested Hero (also found it too laggy even after "tweak"), Rogers G2 and now nk02's ION. I also changed the splash screen so now I am kind of happy with my Magic..

But i must addmit (after seeing those cool Hero shots) I wish there would be a fast, nice and clean Hero rom (i dont need Rosie, i would just like calendar, contacts, dialer, camera,..) I have a feeling it might come soon ,,

try this rom;

It has the new camera & dialer... not calendar or contacts though. Also has a few other things too.

I've tried most now, and for me this is the best so far, for me anyway.
