If CWM wasn't creating that .img before how did I not lose 4G? Same for Amon_Ra if it wasn't making that .img until the new release... or was it doing it all along? ... Was the Wimax partition simply left alone until the new releases started backing it up? hmmmm???

I need to get to the bottom of this b/c if Amon_Ra was making it all along (with no problems) and CWM was not but is now (but not making a "good" .img for some reason) then maybe it is time for me to switch to Amon_Ra
I think the people freaking out are the ones that have lost 4g & had to exchange w/ sprint to get it back. I believe I read that the new handsets w/ hboot 2.02 and/or 2.10 had slightly different partitions, which was causing the problem. So this whole wimax issue may only affect the new handsets....I dont know the whole story, just bits & pieces.

I saw something the other day about some ppl freaking out over being able to get their "keys" for 4G which were supposed to be specific to each handset... wonder what this is now too?
I think people losing their keys was the main issue....I have backed mine up, and I suggest everyone does the same....
