Okay, so after seeing how most people have flashed their phones, I'm tempted to do this sooner rather than later.
So my phone being rooted/unlocked now.
The next step is to back up, I have Titanium Pro, am to only backup apps with it?
Is that considered a sufficient back up of the phone?
I'm running Eclair 2.1update1 - T959UVJI6
I keep reading about Odin, etc so this is throwing me for a loop as to how to do this.
Then I just download a ROM that I like, load it on my microSD and flash through there, (volume button, power button, pressing, etc)?
Thanks, appreciate any help.
You can back up everything with titanium pro. But most people use it to.restore 3rd party apps or to uninstall or freeze apps. Also make sure you have rom manager installed and flash clockwork recovery. Put your rom of choice on your internal sd card not your external micro sd card.

Odin is mostly used when you mess up your phone and it wont work. Search around and read up and download odin and the correct files and have it on hand for.when you bork up your phone.

In titanium backup just click backup all app+data
Do NOT backup red text apps their system apps and will give you a headache later.
Download rom manager and click first option and flash clockwork.
Then press install rom from SD card
It will boot into recovery if its green text recovery press reinstall packages then it'll reboot and go there again click reinstall packages again.
Now its set.
Go to install zip from SD card.
Then again
And find ur rom.
Press install.
Wait till its done.

Is the free version of ROM manager sufficient or are they identical, except one has ads?
ROM manager meaning this one correct? Made by clockworld?

Don't backup the red ones? But if they're part of the system....?
I already did, so maybe I'll check my microSD card and delete it and do it over by unchecking the red? lol

Its fine to back the red ones up. Just make sure after you flash a new rom that you don't restore any of the red ones. That's when you run into issues.

Gotcha, because the ROMS already have the system files (red), overwrite issues, etc. Understood.

You have to download some files on your PC for Odin so u can go to a safe rom that wont brick on ya
Yea after you download odin you will need 2 different files. Ones a tar file and the other is a pit file. You only use these via odin. Just be patient when your waiting for it to boot up after flashing. Especially if you flashed a rom that has a voodoo kernel. It will take a good 10-15 minutes to convert. Just let it be.

I was thinking Team Whiskey or Axura, still on the fence with either of these two.
But 10-15 minutes??
I took my SC card out and popped it into my PC, no files other than my music and pictures.
I then renamed the location from TitaniumBackup to external_sd/titaniumbackup, restarted the phone, opened TB to do a batch backup and there were no files listed. I renamed the default save location back to TitaniumBackup and the files were there.
Confusing.
How do I set the batch backups to save to my external SD card?
Or what am I doing wrong?
Im kind of confused as to what you are trying to do. Why would you want to save your titanium backups to your external sd card? There is really no reason to.

Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.
I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.
I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.
Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?
Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.
I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.
Thanks
EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.

The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.

Im telling you!, its less the hassle and way easier to do it through Clockwork Mod

Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.
Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.
Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.
thanks guys. just flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM without any hiccups for the first time
Now need to restore apps and settings
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?

Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.
Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)
Yes i was on 2.1. I read your post after i had started restoring all apps and data. i turned off my phone when i read this post. how can i get my data stored if not settings?

You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.
But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
Two things from my experience.
1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.
Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.
2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.
Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.
You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.
Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).
Hello,
My camera was not working so I backup my Bionix rom, my apps with titanium, etc. I did a new install of Bionix and then updated the OverStock v1.3 kernel using recovery screen. My phone will not boot up. I think I should have updated the kernel through an app that does that, so I messed up.
I am unable to go into recovery. I am able to get to download mode. I am downloading the tool box for vibrant along with the bionix rom. I have never used the vibrant tool box, but my questions:
1. Can use vibrant tool box under download mode and install a new copy of bionix without loosing info of the internal memory card?
2. If I use Oding3_V1.0 and install Eugene_2e_jk2 (like I originally did a long time ago), would I loose the info in the internal memory card?
3. Is there another, easier way to get bionix install and not loose my internal memory card?
I would appreciate any help. I am downloading both programs and it is tacking a while, so any help would help a lot while I wait.
whatever you do it shouldnt wipe your internal sdcard....but i do suggest to just odin back to stock

To put it simply when I boot up my vibrant, it switches to the galaxy s GT-19000 screen then fully boots into what seems like a completely different phone. My contacts were still there until I factory reset, but none of my apps or anything. I also believe that my calls and messaging do not work. I just recently rooted my phone but where things went bad is when I tried installing voodoo lagfix. I tried adding the link where I got the dl for voodoo lagfix but because I am a new user I can not add links, but i got it from the project voodoo website and it was the second link in their dl section, the one for froyo installable with clockworkmod recovery and rom manager. When I try and go into recovery mode ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix is what comes up and is completely different from what the recovery was before. I just want to get rid of voodoo and get my phone back to how it was before. Im sorry for the terrible description, if there is anything else I need to add just let me know, but please, what can I do to fix my phone? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you get into download mode?
If so, ODIN to stock JFD.
you may need to use Vol Up + Power, unlike the normal way which is both volume buttons pressed in.
thank you! I used your guide in your sig, which was very helpful, phone is back to normal, however, all of my apps and what not are gone. I am an idiot and forgot to backup before I made changes, is there any other way that I can get back to the way my phone was before? And after going back to the stock JFD using odin, will I still have voodoo on my phone?
If you used titanium backup, your folder of backups should still be on your internal.
If you did not backup, sorry... hope you have them backed up.
No, you do not have voodoo now.
I did back up all of my app with titanium back up, so do I just have to re-dl titanium back up in the market and then just go from there?
^ Ti Backup needs root, so grab the update.zip from my guide and root (incredibly easy), move it to internal, go to stock recovery, install, reboot, you are rooted.
At this point, before you restore, you need to update to a more recent version of Android. you do NOT want to be stuck on JFD (2.1). I'd suggest a ROM like Trigger... crazy stable, faster and themed (I like it).
THEN you can restore your apps after downloading titanium backup (assuming you have them backed up on your internal already).
also, when I connect to my pc and look at my internal sd, the voodoo folder is still there
sorry Im a complete noob to this stuff
Sounds like somebodies got a lot of apps to download againlol. Now you'll remember to get TB and make a backup, heheh, but oh well its a learning experience really! If you have any apps that you paid forl at least gmail will remember that and you will see them as purchased, but unfortunately you'll still have to search for them individually.

whats in it?
- prob just a bunch of logz(lol) just ignore it
^^ the voodoo folder is there b/c you did not format your card *no reason to*
when/if you flash trigger, it will convert you to EXT4 file system (voodoo). This IS okay and not a big deal. Not sure what site you went to, but I have 190% faith in the Trigger ROM and voodoo.. both have very talented people supporting it.
^ Paid apps do not need to be searched for. Look in My Apps, they are all there. He also apparently DID make a backup at some point so lets not go bashing the guy.
I do agree to backup often.
I don't think theyre on my internal anymore, I did a clear cache, factory reset when my phone was initially messed up and I think thats where my problem lies. and as for the rom, what are your thoughts on the TW bionix rom? I initially was trying to root and install this rom

You can do whatever you want with it if ur just gonna ODIN and re-flash. I just thought this was funny my bad. I wouldn't be too concerned with it really. Just leave it alone.
- If in fact you made a backup with TB and moved it to ur PC you could replace that back into the /sdcard/ and when you re-download TB just run the restore batch. BOOM! good to go. If not then oh well.
- The "myapps" will show you all your purchased ROMs so you will not need to research for them, just need to re-download them but any "free" apps will need to be researched and redownloaded.
- My friend has a Nexus S and she says that when she does an initial setup after flashing any ROM the gmail sync automatically downloads all her purchased apps. Thats what I was refering to cuz that would be friggin titz!
- Team Whiskey ROMs are proven and stable Bionix is a great choice to flash.
Good luck!
^ GB restores automatically, while good for some.. I hate it. Takes longer to download/install than restoring AND it doesn't restore the data (boo)
I've read a few posts that say to stay away from tenfar's CWM.......why is this? Is it buggy? Outdated? Would I use Romracer's instead? What's the difference?
Edit: Also, do I need an SD card to flash ROMs or can they be done via usb?
Yes, it is Outdated.
Download and install latest Romracer's recovery, its support better our Atrix.
Personally, i flashed roms and kernel from external sd and from internal sd too but not directly from usb.
I don't think you want to try it this way, the safest flashing is from the device itself, without connecting to a pc.
Imagine what can happen when you flashing rom from PC and the PC shutdown...

Isn't flashing with fastboot the safest way?
I voided my warranty.
Via PC?
Long process like flashing with PC and Phone is never safety ...
There is always the risk that the PC can be shutdown during this process and your devices can damaged.
That's why we got Fruit Cakes for example.
Always do this things via phone only without any connect to PC during flashes and etc.
That's one of the reasons i got a good PSU (Corsair) and UPS for my PC
That makes sense. So when I plug my phone in, I can just put it in the root of the partition that shows up in windows, right? Cause that is the internal "SD" card?
Also how do you flash using flashboot? I'm trying to get Alien. From what I've read, I install romracer's CWM and use it to flash......I haven't gotten it to work though because romracer won't install (I think I know the problem though, I didn't delete the recover .sh file before installing)
Yes, this is the root of the internal SD.
I don't know if you can flash ZIP rom file with fasboot, but you can flash img files.
Try to install the new recovery with moto-fasboot, but you can also install it in this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16421425&postcount=95
I just use the CWMRecovery which installed from market "Rom Manager"
except it does not support external SD, it is working fine. I flash Alien#4 from stock 2.2.2 that way.

i don't have a pc. i have a laptop. the ups is built in. and when you flash with fastboot, if the file is no good, it will not flash. when you flash from your phone, it will flash anything and then you're more likely to get reboot.
I went ahead and installed RomRacer's CWM and flashed Alien v4, I love it so far.
Question: Is there an easy way to mass-download all the apps that I've purchased from the market? I know you can log into the market and send them to your phone, but that takes forever. Same thing for Amazon's app store. Any ideas?
Yes but this is for next time.......
Backup using titanium backup (pay for the pro version, its worth it).
Then after your next flash, open market, install titanium, then restore. bam all your apps back including their settings.
Its gold as its ROM neutral i.e. you can back up and restore apps across whatever ROMs and kernels you switch, as long as you specify only missing apps (so you don't overwrite system apps like dialer etc.)

Umm. TiBU Pro is as easy as it gets : )
You could use other back up programs as well, but it wouldn't be any easier.

and my backup root to backup retore texts/call logs etc
Well, I will use it in the future, but for now, it's a little too late for that I did however use MyBackup Root to back up all my junk. Just not programs....cause I thought I could just re-download them all with ease from the market. Apparently not though
Hi,
Just got my new note (at&t i7171) and proceeded to root it, I believe I used a root+CWM since I can hold down volume and power, let go of power at vib and it goes to a recovery screen...
Am I good to go as far as experimenting with new ROM's? Or do I need to install NANDroid or Rom Manager (*Rom manager does not even list my note as applicable)
I have DL and used Titanium Backup Pro and SMS backup, still seems like I should be able to backup my current ROM tho, any advice on an app for that? Or do I just need to DL the touch version from here and load it via Oden?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: After reading more I realize that I need my SD card to install CWM and as I am still waiting on my 64G SD card to show up from new egg, so I guess I'll have to wait to install CWM, I think what I was seeing is the stock restore. Oh well, I learned how to root it and about 20 other mods I need to perform so It was well worth researching! Awesome site btw, I look forward to learning more!
Ohh and any advice you can give as far as getting rid of bloatware etc would be very helpfull, sure seems like it could run faster....
Make sure you do a Nandroid backup From CWM before flashing any Roms and also Titanium backup.

You do not need an external sdcard to have cwm...i don't even have an external.
Just get an Odin flashable version of cwm...
Put in pda slot of Odin, out phone in download mode. Let them meet fall in love and do their thing, then you're good to go.
I'm partial to touch based cwm myself.
Just like cwm, but with touch screen navigation instead of volume and power button.

If you have cwm installed correctly you can save your backup to your internal SD or external once you get it. Go to recovery then select back up it will back up to your internal card, same with a rom if you down load a rom from your phone the rom will be found on your internal SD card in download folder, flash it from there. We do not use rom manager, rom manager doesn't support our notes yet. I hope this helps. I would suggest watching a few YouTube videos on roms for the note just make sure everything you do is for the ATT version and not the other versions as a lot of people have flashed the wrong stuff for the wrong note. Hope this helps
