If you ROOTED via unrevoked 3.21, it is STILL exactly how you had it before rooting, except it's rooted and has the needed "root" apps installed.

Unrevoked 3.21 does not change your "rom"...

I have not flashed a custom rom. Im on the stock rom and i hust wasnt to delete everything off of it and get it to how it was the day i bought it. Like if this was windows mobile i would want to do a hard reset or clear storage on the stock rom.

If you are not on the stock rom, this "default" may not be the same as how it came originally from Sprint.)

Just had a couple questions in regards to rooting.
1) The first time I root I would lose all my mms/sms correct? After the fact when I want to load a new rom I would just nandroid backup and restore after loading.

2) Are there any benefits/drawbacks of rooting via the old command line way vs the newest one click method?

Thanks.

1 yes, you'll probably lose everything but, no that is not how a nandroid backup works.

Thanks for the quick reply Bradart...

When you say that is not how nandroid backup works, does that mean that everytime I flash a new ROM I lose all sms/mms. There is no way to store that prior to flashing?

Thanks.

A nandroid is essentially a snapshot of the entire system. It will undo a Rom flash. I use titanium backup from the market to back all my stuff up.

Ah ok, so when I do the command line method of rooting, does that basically start the phone from scratch. Then after that I use titanium backup to restore all the messages after?

I have the stock ROM that came as Froyo. I rooted w/unrevoked3. AFAIK, I have not removed any syock apps. When updating, it starts and then freezes on a screen with a red triangle with an exclamation point and a little android dude. Is there a reason besides removing stock apps that can cause this?
