Pulse hacking for dummies


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a degree in computer science but I have to confess that I really can't fathom some of the terminology here. I have a Pulse with the December update and here's what I want:

I want to back up my contacts as the most important thing and be able to restore them once I've upgraded the ROM. If I can back up other stuff too, great

I want to install a faster and reliable ROM as I want more battery life and a more responsive phone

I want to be able to go back to the exact current state of the phone if it all goes wrong

Now, I see that there's superboot, nandroid, recovery, titanium, vanilla, T-mobile, kitchens and various other terms knocking about and I've been reading the forums regularly for a couple of months and yet I still don't understand how to achieve the above without the risk of bricking my phone!

Please, explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old!

There are stickies at the top of the forum that explain how to install Recovery and also how to install the MCR ROM (either vanilla or T-mobile style).

As for contact backup - logon to your google mail account from any web browser. Are you contacts there? If so, job done.
