Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM | Eclair | *Updated | 6/25/10*

ok for those that wiped b4 flashing & want to restore data, here is what I've done. Now, I am no Android expert, and to me, this would be the same as not wiping. I know if you get stuck in a boot loop, you have to wipe, so this method may be the answer. I have sent Toast an PM trying to get clarification, w/ no response. I have done this a few times w/ no problems:

1- Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC

2- Download & extract Android SDK, I extracted to C:\SDK

3- copy data.img from your nandroid backup to C:\SDK\tools folder

4- open a command window, type cd C:\SDK\tools (or whatever your path is)

5- check to make sure it sees your phone, type adb devices

6- type adb reboot bootloader

7- when the phone reboots, you'll be in Fastboot

8- verify it says FASTBOOT USB in red

9- on the pc, type fastboot flash userdata data.img

10- you'll see a green bar on the top right progressing

11- when done, on the phone, scroll down to reboot....all done!
