Re: Create backup of my current ROM
 

np, i still keep a titanium back up for emergency use and to the op if you flash a rom with no kernel your existing kernel will stay or you can just flash any kernel. kernels are odd cause some contain boot image changes that i like but dont like there kernel, need some cooks to zip just there boot screens.

Re: Create backup of my current ROM
 

One more question.....if I am doing a full restore to a previous ROM that I backed up, do I need to wipe everything first like you do when installing a custom ROM, or can I just go right to the restore function?

More thanks for all the threaded info. This is really good stuff. I think I understand the issues now (and I'm a long way from geekdom). Also I can see why CWM is a good thing to have.

One question. Excuse in advance if it's a dumb one. Unlike flashing roms, what happens to the root and CWM when Froyo 2.2 is released. Do you have to do everything again after you install it? Or is it like any new cooked rom which would mean the root and CWM are still permanent?

Re: Create backup of my current ROM
 

Anything you flash with Clockwork should retain root. If you use Odin and return to stock in order to use the OTA Froyo update then you will have to re-root and install Clockwork again. I would just wait for the cooks to post a custom Froyo ROM here and flash it with Clockwork. That's what I am planning on doing,

Ok guys you think a thread on flashing roms/kernels/using clockwork/clock advanced(wipe delviv/battery stats) ect would be a good idea?

Actually, I was thinking this thread should be summarized and put in the wiki.
