they may have backed up to your google account
Yep you can change it back to the original SD card and it'll be fine
If you want a custom recovery then you need S-Off otherwise you're ok as you are and yes... you can remove visionary from your phone
yea, you'll need Clockworkmod Recovery then (download ROM Manager from the market) you'll need to s-off before you can use it, but it'll back up your phone exactly as it sits so if you were to cock up the flash of a new ROM then you can just restore that previous one (I back up every week so I can try new bits)
it took a few seconds to s-off mine... downloaded a program to the pc, connected the phone with usb de-bugging enabled, clicked the s-off button and it was done
Why to go D-U-R-X. Have fun rooting.
Lol - I know... thing is - I tried using the goldcard tool, but it would only allow me to use MMC0 (not MMC1 or MMC2)... I'd been using MMC2 from the offset when creating the goldcard image in the first place.
Just had a bit of a mare... Thought that the phone had stopped working, as I was not getting any signal, but then remembered that I'm on Orange and there's only sh!t reception where I live!
Now to move on to rooting the phone!!!
poopookakada - did you use visionary? Did you have any problems?? I've looked at several videos... it looks straight forward enough to me - temp root, then attempt perm root?
I just finished reading the ENTIRE THREAD and I said to myself "wow its like the exact same thing that was happening to me, gonna suggest the method I use and link to the other thread"
Turns out you found it and it worked also
I had the exact same problem and I figured it was the hex editing part so I went to copy the mcc2 do the goldcard tool on pc.
Glad you got it working
Just like to say massive thanks Poopookakada and Bentree - finally got everything sorted!! Just about to start flashing to my hearts content!!!

Your welcome D-U-R-X.
Have fun.
P.S. what rom are you gona try first?
at the moment I'm torn between android revolution hd and cyanogen7.
ur were close what I read was that he recomends using the latest radio. which is y I origanaly rooted so I could update it. I soo wish I could duel boot both at the same time.
Might have to give AR HD a go then... gonna give CM7 a couple of weeks first though... think it's pretty good so far. Think I need to give each ROM a coupld of weeks to really see how good they are!!
