Root How to Check Ap2Sd storage?

[Pedro7]

if you actually manage to get into four digits for flashing different roms, i think i may need to confiscate your desire away from you for your own personal health


im so close to taking the plunge to rooting.. i just need a little extra push

how do i back up sms, and how do i do a factory reset? i've backed up SD card, contacts to google mail, what else do i need before i root using the one click tool?

i think there is an app called my back up install that & use that to back up everything you need to sd card.
Once you are rooted you can do a nandroid backup

im tempted to just not bother with the sms and apps.. sms aren't very important, and apps can be re downloaded.. backed up the important stuff.. may just jump into the root now when i next have a free hour to do it where on the phone's settings is factory restore?

and can i just confirm, if i decide to go to the 2.2 OTA update, bearing in mind that root won't be available, i will need a goldcard to flash on the generic htc RUU?

factory reset is in settings/sd & phone storage.
Yes you will need a goldcard to flash the generic rom.
Once you have rooted i will be very surprised if you go for the OTA

cheers a bunch mate. well, its not so much the OTA update more of if i manage to mess things up then i can flash the original back on and play innocent

im sure that won't happen though..

Well you seem fairly knowledgeable on computer tech, i think you will breeze it m8.

hopefully, as soon as i muster up the courage to actually do it

SD card is fully backed up, contacts to google and on sd card, photos/videos on pc, will rooting on a freshly factory restored phone be easier?

Shouldn't make any difference m8, when you root a rooted rom is flashed to your phone.
once you run nandroid back up from the root screen & you have your selected rom & radio zips on your sd card, run the wipe etc from there & install your new radio & rom in that order.

fair enough. leave the files in the .zip format though and allow the phone to unzip the files?

That's it m8, once you are rooted and set up you will see how easy it is to change roms with the rom manager

 

[Pedro7]

ah rom manager. life seems a lot easier once rooted. until my phone turns into an expensive paper weight. hopefully by then i'll have enough money to shell out for a new one

Lol That's what i was thinking when i first rooted.

 

[Pedro7]

if you don't mind me asking, roughly how many times have you flashed a new rom, and how long ago have you rooted? just trying to get a feel for how things can go without going wrong..

I been rooted 2 weeks today, i have also flashed 5 times including updated roms of the same type

oh alright, have you run in to any mind numbing problems that make you look like this? ->

nope not yet!!! still there's plenty of time, mind you i will probably look like a cross between these 3

 

[Pedro7]

lol... i think i may just cry if my desire turns into a paper weight... i'd do everything to try and say it was sold to me like this though

Blame it on an OTA update

 

[Pedro7]
