well, I flash my phone many times, and every flash I lost all my settings. there too many settings that I have to remember, and it consumes too much time to set them back. Here are a few tricks to make flashing no longer a nightmare.
Create a cab file with all register settings and run the cab file whenever you want set all your settings. Below I included an example of settings for the followings:
- yahoo email account
- tethering settings (sprint)
- Resco file explorer settings
here are the steps:
1) copy the below xml text to notepad
2) add more settings if you need and changes the setting values to your own values. if you don't know your registry setting, look them in your phone reg
3) save the file as "_Setup.xml" under C:\ (can be any where)
4) save the makecab.exe file, attached below, to c:\
4) open a DOS command (type cmd from run or search command)
5) type c:\makecab _Setup.xml mysettings.cab
6) run mysettings.cab everytime you need to set your settings
