Re: Root or wait for FROYO?
One amazing thing about clockworkmod is that you can perform a backup, install any rom, and then restore data. When you do this, it sets up your phone exactly how it was with the previous rom (official or not). When I say exactly, I mean all your apps, settings, accounts, shortcuts, texts, game levels...everything. You can try one rom and if you find you don't like it, just flash another and within minutes, you are all setup the way you had it before your last backup. Flashing roms has never been easier and more fun. The days of reinstalling all your apps and all that is a thing of the past. Without root privileges, this cannot be possible.

Re: Root or wait for FROYO?
Okay, so if I do the root with Clockwork (or any of the mentioned ROMS), once the process is over will I have re-install everything, or will all my data/settings/apps still be in place? Right now I just want to unlock it without losing anything, back up everything I have right now, then move on to installing custom ROMs.

Re: Root or wait for FROYO?
You need to download something like MyBackup or Titanium Backup after you are rooted and back up everything. You should also run the backup in Clockwork. You still lose everything when you flash a custom ROM but then you just restore everything by one of those methods. Read the wiki and it will tell you everything you need to know.

Re: Root or wait for FROYO?
Got ya.
So root WITHOUT Clockwork or anything else. Back up my stuff. Then have a go at all the custom ROMs. Thanks much to all. I'd only learned how to flash my TP2 a week before I upgraded, so it's all still a little new. And I'd rather ask stupid newbie questions than brick my phone out of ignorance. |

Grrrr...the confusion returns! I thought I could do this one-click root just to unlock it to be able to install apps that require a rooted phone, including apps that back up my data. Once I back up my data, THEN I need Clockwork to install custom ROMs (so is Clockwork itself a ROM or not?). I was all ready to plug up the phone and have at it. Now I gotta wait a little longer to make sure I get this right.... |

function there before you flash anything. Its just another means to make sure you don't lose anything. |

Will rooting WITH Clockwork erase all of my current data? I get that Clockwork has its own back up system, and Clockwork is necessary to install custom ROMs. I've got the wiki page pulled up, as well as numerous other threads with links and info. Am downloading the drivers. Got my usb cable. I'm set. I just need the final clarification of which to do, root with or without Clockwork, that will result in an unlocked phone WITHOUT loss of data. |
