if its a hotfix,update or patch then i dont think it will erase anythin ..but better backup b4 installing..
Precaution is better than cure !! Lol
Hope it works !!
thank me if it did!!
do a backup using the MIUI backup and update your software and then restore the data from MIUI. This is possible only when you are upgrading the new MIUI, incase if any other ROM then i suggest you use titanium backup!
Thanks for replys will do and +1 for both ^^

Hi there... after long i finally updated frm 2.1 to 2.2(freex10 beta4) ... i would like to knw if i can restore my sms i backedup with sebackup???? Do i hav to flash back to 2.1 to get it?? Any help would b appreciated...
Sorry if this has been discussed b4.. i did search but didnt find..

Pretty sure you can't. If i'm right then SEbackup is Sony Ericsson's? If so then it can only be used on an SE Rom. (only 2.1)
If you really need those SMS' back then you'd probably have to go back to 2.1 (someone else should verify though).
In future, i recommend something like SMS Backup +
Use MyBackup Root. It'll work between any android versions. With SE app you can only restore if you can install the app which is built for 2.1

Maybe you can use Spritebackup. I have that and I've seen that is so similar to SE original backup and restore. The only problem is that you must buy it...
ok so I used clockwork to backup my current rom then I told clockwork to flash toxic baby3 and to wipe everything. It installs and all works but when I restore my netqin security wit titanium or if I download from market it wont let me open. It just keeps closing on me. I tried reflashin but nothin. Wut can I do? Dont wanna lose netqin cuz I just bought the 6month subscription. Can some1 plzzz give me some options that mite make netqin stop force closin wit toxic baby3.(sorry for the lenth. Tryin to let no everythin I have done/tried)

As long as it's a cwm flashable file you can swap roms all you want. Just clear your data, cache, and dalvik between roms
I'd also suggest creating a backup in case you don't like your new ROM out something goes wrong. You can do that in cwm recovery as well.

should be fine as long as you backup your existing setup 1st

But i don't know how to,and i'm a real noob when it comes to this stuff,and also if there's a tutorial about this i'm sorry because searched everywhere for one but i didn't find any that i understood..

Hi . First, you must have clockworkmod(cwm5) .. Reboot the recovery . Now wipe cache,data and dalvik. Go to install from SD card . Search your ROM file. Select it example: (IcSrom.zip) Flash it n wait. After that just reboot n wait.. Congrats u have a custom rom on ur phone now.IF u don't like the rom. Flash a stock gingerbread with Odin or use other custom rom. For me All the rom best!!!

i've been using cyanoace.. a really good rom by behradgh for a few months now. suddenly my phone goes into a bootloop. is there any way of rectifying this without reflashing because i dont have a recent nandroid backup? any inputs are greatly appreciated !!
Try reflash or use adb logcat to unveil why it not boots
Like A Boss
Get a newer, more stable version of cm7

Try CM7.2 by FAT or vo 1
Or official CM7 (may have bugs)

@spacecaker : could you please elaborate on adb logcat.. am pretty much a noob !
@scoffyburito : you read my mind !
@pvrx : any reviews about the official cm7 ? read that they just started official support.
but is there any solution besides reflashing cm7 again ? forgot to take a nandroid backup.. loads of stuff in my phone that i dont want to lose..

You shouldn't lose any data when reflashing
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Make a nan-droid backup fom recovery. Wipe everything. Flash new CM7. I recommend CM7.2 by FAT. Go to recovery -> backup and restore -> advanced restore -> restore data

Yes,but remember not to use this method in the future when you are flashing stock over cm as it wont work coz cm is a different build.

It probably wont go into a bootloop if you just restore data. No harm in trying.
