Where I'm wrong?

---

Hello!

When I want to migrate from one rom to another I'm doing those steps.

1. Downloading new Rom and copy it on the root of my SD Card
2. Backup trough the CWM
3. Wipe Data/reset factory
4. Wipe Cashe
5. Wipe Dalvik
6. Flash new Rom
7. Restore from Backup I did in step 2

Is it everything?

I just wanted to make sure what I'm not doing right because I have some issues. Especially if I'm flashing the new Rom but after looking in the "About phone" section I'm still having the info from previous Rom.

Please, can somebody help me what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry for that stupid question, just wanted to make sure.

Thank you and God bless you!

Its because you are restoring in step 7 you are actually bringing back the old rom (the restore point). You can get titanium backup and backup everything in there from your old rom. Flash the new one then run titanium on the fresh new rom and you will have all your apps.

So, what is the best practice if I want to restore data and apps I have? I don't want to restore the apps one by one because I have many of them installed.

And what about the data? Accounts, Contacts, etc...

Thank you!

Yea, you are restoring the entire previous rom. You need to do everything up until the point where you used to restore, and then go down to Advanced restore instead. Select the backup that you made the backup of. Select data. Let it do its thing. It will restore all of your apps and settings and app data to the NEW rom that you flashed.

Wow, thanks for that. I had been using Titanium and was never exactly sure what settings to use to restore. So just choosing the restore data option will restore apps AND data?

Choosing the Advanced Restore and then selecting Data will restore the entire Data folder from whatever clockworkmod backup you select. The data folder contains all of the apps that YOU installed and didn't come with the previous rom as well as any data corresponding with those apps such as settings and save states, as well as wireless network passwords, as well as text messages and MMS messages. It pretty much restores your phone to exactly where it was when you backed up.

Now one of the drawbacks is that it does not always work perfectly. When you are flashing from drastically different roms, like Froyo to Eclair, I would recommend against it. It may work or it may not. I have had it work a vast majority of the time. Its a lifesaver.

No. I'm talking about Froyo to Froyo. I understand about the Eclair and Froyo thing.

Thank you very much for your help.

God bless you!

I want to say thank you once more. I've reflashed everything like you said and right now it works like a charm.

God bless you!
