help needed !!!!

[JeromeSama]

Alright guys i did my homework and i just want to know whether is it safe to perform it ..

1st i back up my data on my andriod via gmail (contacts) ,apps /data ....SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore. Each one backs up its respective data to your microSD card (in /sdcard/*appname*BackupRestore/) for easy restoration...before whipping out everything on my sd card and htc sense rom ...

Rooting the phone ......after that i'll flash a custom rom in it
backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore.

that should be all

is it correct or there is any alternative ?

I need suggestion from the android users

Cheers

[JeromeSama]

After you have flashed a custom ROM, you have to reflash all apps you have used with your prevoius ROM, and then restore app data.
Or wasn't it you wanted to know?

Read that statement again... you save your backup files to the sd card then wipe the sd card. So where's your backup now? To tell you honestly, you are doing it wrong.

Tell us what exactly are you going to do and in what state is your phone right now? Is it rooted, s-off, etc.

 

[JeromeSama]

but why is reflash all apps with previous rom and restore app data ?

i don't quite get it
and im quite confused with the flashing rom and reflashing all apps with previous rom and restore app data ...

 

[JeromeSama]

okay i'll take your advice

but this statement
"backup all data from gmail/SMS Backup and Restore, Call Logs Backup & Restore, and APN Backup & Restore."

doesn't it say im going to backup data from the previous data i had ?


okay im going to root my phone next month so im going to backup my data from my sd card and reformat it ..after doing that im going to root my phone 1st ...its not rooted ..is it a wise decision ?

status of phone ...
Andriod version (2.3.3)
htc sense version ( 2.1)
kernel version( 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb ..htc kernel@amd 18-2 #1)

 

[stankyou]

Okay since you still have a month to prepare... check this thread. It's a bit out dated but this will get you up to speed on what you'll eventually do. At least better understand what rooting requires you to do.

This is the HTC desire forum. It is not 4g. Are you in the right forum? If not, we can guarantee nothing.....

[stankyou]

No it's not. There's a separate section for HTC Desire HD on XDA.

NO, it's NOT the same. Desire is different from Desire HD and both are totally different from Insipre4G. Would you please use the search button before posting?

Make sure you know if its Inspire or Desire HD. Because they may have different methods for rooting the device. Good luck.

If first you decide what you want to do with your phone, understand what you need to do to get that, then read a lot to get all necessary info, you will be good to go. Just think first.
