you dont go into how to do this properly making sure all drivers are installed before hand and linking to the hboot drivers for unrevoked as its not actually obvious from their site.1. Root with unrevoked3
what data? you want to avoid system data/settings etc3. Backup app data to sd using titanium backup and my backup pro
you dont explain how - like you said yourself other guides makes assumptions you know enough to do certain things but many dont7. Once that is completed, Turn off the phone, and boot into custom recovery (clockworks mod)
again how? its not documented as nandroid in recovery, people who know the environment well enough knows what this is but its actually "backup and restore"8. Do a nandroid backup - I cannot stress the importance of this enough. (Also, a well documented issue with unrevoked is that this ^^ can cause a boot loop). This happened to me, and boy did I freak.... but really its simple....To fix, simply restore your nandroid backup from a minute ago.
a2sd+ is automatic. dont manually move anything. anything you have moved, move back.
backup is nandroid. In recovery power turns off the screen like in android.
download quick system info. it will tell you what a2sd storage is being used (or if its working)
That signature formatting looks strangley familiar...
In my opinion this Guide is ok but in retrospect i actually find it more vague than other guides out there which is kind of ironic considering your purpose was to give a more indepth and noob friendly view of rooting and flashing.

You should also mention that people should scroll and select with the trackpad once in recovery as if they use power it will just switch off the screen (as someone has done earlier on and the other day)
Okee dokee. To be honest after looking at the options I think I'll be going for Teppic's rooted Sense ROM with A2SD+ and powermanager so I guess I can try and flash the ROM without wiping...
rooted my desire with unrevoked 3, then after backing wiping phone, flashing rom that WilliamJ1 has posted when tried to reboot it went to my carriers logo and just stayed there let it sit for 15 min still nothing. Any suggestions ?
Had a bit of an evening of it so far. Never mind. Out of interest, how long should it take to partitian a 32Gb card? 15 mins and counting...
EDIT:
It's been 23 minutes so far and I'm still staring at a warning triangle with a little droid. Don't knwo if it makes any difference but I quick-formatted the SD card before starting, and my phone is NOT attached to the USB cable...
