sorry but i have not follow the more recent posts. what exactly are you trying to do? if it is flashing a rom then here is what you need to do:

1.make a nandroid backup
2.wipe everything but the sd card(which looks like you just did)
3.then flash the rom.

and once everything is set back up with titanium backup and you have everything set the way you like it, i would make another nandroid backup.
 
i have been using this new rom for like a hour or so an not to inpressed with it like some features but some ccould do with out . please dont take that as a sign of raggin or any thin g


well how dose the titaum back work if you wipe the rom you are on to anther one it is not going ot be on the new rom ?

When you flash a new rom, download TB from the market and also the TB pro key if you purchased TB. Then use TB to re-install user apps only...not system apps....I usually install the apps but no data....

Also after every rom flash, yes you will have to sign into google to sync your email and contacts....it will automatically do that.

Yes you will have to sign into your home wifi to access wifi.

Like ocn said in his post 253....
If you want to flash a rom.....(this is what I do.)
1. Download rom of choice and put on sd card...(not in a folder, just on sdcard)...backup apps with TB.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Make nandroid backup.
4. Wipe cache, dalvik, boot, system, data, sd-ext, sd-andoid secure and wipe everything else there EXCEPT SD CARD. I manually wipe all, except sd card, 3 times.
5. Flash rom...custom roms usually have their own kernel.
6. Let rom settle for about 10 minutes before waking up phone and signing into google, etc.

o.k....each custom rom will usually have its own kernel...dont worry about Anthrax for now.....Just read the op about the rom and it will tell you what is has and what is has working.
The superwipe is a zip file that helps with wiping before a rom flash. I personally do not use it...I do it myself manually. Superwipe will wipe things, but not all things, 3 times. Like I said, I dont use it...but that's me.:)
And yes, before each rom install, wipe, wipe, wipe, in recovery...wipe all except sd card, then flash rom....
Does that help your question?:)

Edit: The paid version of TB will do things such as install/backup apps in "batches" vs. the free version you have to do 1 at a time....(among other things)

Most Roms will have those preinstalled ..they are not permanent.. in the paid version of TB you can freeze them and then you won't see them

When you say custom your own rom , do you mean make your own?
Yes but it takes significant knowledge of Android which few people have.
Developers make custom roms and are very smart indeed. I totally lack that knowledge....however, you can customize your rom by installing different themes/fonts/icons....the list is endless. Just read read read my friend.
I will post some informative links. The best links are the links that have the rom op...it will have different mods/themes etc.

when i unlock my phone should i turn the S on or off
Click to expand...
If you follow the htc dev method you will be unlocked, s-on.
That is sufficient to flash roms/kernels etc.
Being s-off is a little more involved, just click on the Capt method and it will describe more for you.
As far as s-on or s-off, it will show what you are automatically.

I have another question it said that the superwipe was optional what if i didnt download it?
Click to expand...
Nothing, superwipe is helpful in that it will auto wipe some things 3 times.
I personally dont use it as I wipe manually. Old school, I guess.:)
And superwipe is done in recovery before a rom flash btw
 
Mikestony said:
Do you have a custom recovery installed and the superuser installed?
Nandroid backups are made in recovery.
Just want to be sure you have recovery first before I list the steps k?;)
Click to expand...
no i do not have a custom recovery installed but i do think i have superuser installed. how can i check?

o.k..let me ask you this...are you following this guide?

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html

If so, then I dont see where it says make a nandroid backup in htc dev.:confused:
After completion of the HTC dev method, step 2 would be to install custom recovery, then step 3 is to install superuser.
I guess I'm trying to figure out what step you are on and/or what steps you have completed.;)
