[HOW-TO] - - Flash a Rom or Radio and re-locking on your TP2 from the SD card

[cornelious2]

please refrain from posting "this rom is the best/sucks" posts here, this is just about a generic method to achieve a goal, lets keep this to issues with the act of the flash please.

I am having an issue with the flash completing. That, or I am just being impatient. However, it gets through most of the process and then hangs with probably 1% left. It's been 5 minutes of it just hanging at the 1%

Edit:
Not sure what the issue was. But after a whole lot of trial and *massive* error (screwed up my new 18gig SD card) I was able to flash the stock ROM and then MightyMike's latest release.

Gonna see if I can't salvage my 18gig with a formating. My PC won't see it when I put it directly in, but the phone does.

How do I back up my contacts in my sd card so that they don't all erase after I try this?
And if I try this in school today, and get stuck on the multicolored screen, can i just take out the battery and it will be fixed? Or is it messed up till I get to a computer?

i would also like to know what are other alternatives to save contacts without the use of a computer. i normally flash lots of roms and i have to use the computer everytime to get my contacts. but when im at work i can get my contacts unless i bring my laptop. dont want to carry extra luggage.

Save the pim.vol file from the root of your device to your SD card. You can also get the program PimBackup which will save more than just your contacts (call history, favorites, texts, appointments, and more). It saves everything into one file that you can put onto your SD card to restore later. The program also has the ability to be automatically back up on a schedule that you set.

If you have any questions PM me, I think we have already derailed this topic enough lol.

i used to use ppcpim backup but now google sync is just way nicer and no worries about losing the contacts with the phone/sd card
