Hey, if you have received an SLCD phone either newly purchased or as a replacement, please be aware that although rooting and flashing a new ROM may work well for you there is a severe threat that should you then attempt a nandroid backup or restore you may find your phone unusable.
There are fixes for this out there which I've read about but haven't tested. I've rooted again, but haven't applied Clockwork yet. At this point I'm holding off on burning new ROMs into the phone because I'm out of my 2 replacements from insurance. I spent 3-5 hours today reading various forum and finding a LOT of reports of this which were often replied to with replies atypical of the Android rooting community ranging from 'you should have researched because it is well known' to 'there are fixes' to an even less helpful, 'thats what you get for not knowing and why are you whining.'
Not one of these posts cited a link to a post describing the issue or providing a fix. At least none I could find on this forum or xda. I was really shocked. At almost every turn when I have run into a problem I could not resolve either on my own or by searching the interwebs I've been able to ask whats up in here... androidforums, and I've been met with compassionate and helpful advice.
After reading the consistent berating I finally found a link to this. I've rooted and applied this patch but won't go further till I see some results so I'm stuck with a stock, but rooted phone. I miss my ROMs! I miss being able to swap them out a few times a week and sometimes a few times a day! I miss my nandroid! I've sent an email to rommanager to see if they have any ifo and will post here when I get a reply.
If anyone has experience with this please post it and if you can find good refs please link them! Not only in this thread but from now on!
Thanks!
