Guest Sky Masters Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hello all, I'm seeking some helpful hints and useful advice.... I'm switching i910 handsets and I need to make sure I back up everything on the current handset before I move stuff to the new handset. My question is what is the best way to make sure I have everything before I send the old handset back? I want to make sure I have everything before I send it back. Also, being an avid flasher (shoutout and thanks to all Cooks out there!) should I switch the ROM back to the original verizon version? Any help is most appreciated!

Guest MrCapcom Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 when I switch my phones out I usually brick it on purpose lol let the flash go half way then pull the plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sky Masters Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I did think about that, but I told them I had screen issues so I don't know if that will work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest level140 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 ive always just formatted my storage and flashed back to the stock samsung rom Lol. Formatting doesn't erase information. It just removes the label the hdd made for it. It's very possible to recover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KP Admiral Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Lol. Formatting doesn't erase information. It just removes the label the hdd made for it. It's very possible to recover it. Depends on what kind of format... But why would they bother to recover it anyways? :) anyhow... To answer the OP's questions. I usually use SPB Backup or Resco Backup, I only really care about my texts/MMS/contacts/calendar, and those two take care of those for me. I don't backup apps since I have all the cabs on a SD card as is. If you only care about texts/contacts/cal and don't want to spend the money or pirate, then you can use PIM Backup as that will perform the same function and is free. Also, I would try and flash back to an official ROM when returning a phone/exchanging, as they do at times check a phone and deem it's warranty status on what they see.

Guest DirtySanchez Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 when I switch my phones out I usually brick it on purpose lol let the flash go half way then pull the plug For sure if there is anyway u should give back a phone u have used it should be bricked, that way they cant get into the main memory, but the My Storage (i think) should stay intact even when bricked & if they can remove it like a HDD then i can be read at that time. The real truth is if u have a Verizon Omnia its the last of this model, they are no longer being made by Samsung so all the stock that Verizon has they need to used them up so they can make room (in there stock for taxes) so they can keep the new up and comers and not have to pay taxes for old phones. So long story shot if u Brick, Break, or lose your Omnia & have the ins on your acct. & cant sign a new contract to get the Omnia II, or any of the other new phones then send it back they are just giving these things away to get rid of them.

Help please????????? my 2 cents is DONT waste your time with Win6.1 there is nothing better about it (except its not in beta) & for the Omnia it makes it just that much better of a phone.
