Official B936 Vodafone NZ

[Guest wso277]

Thanks Daz.

Anything worth mention about the rom?

[Guest Dazzozo]

Dunno, haven't flashed it yet. That's the fun part. :P

[Guest Dazzozo]

All good! Releasing shortly.

That new Vodafone boot animation is monster. The first frame is like, entirely red. What were they thinking?

[Guest toge64]

So what's improved?

[Guest Dazzozo]

Have fun:

Glad I could be of some assistance today. Quick question, I haven't yet done the OTA update, if I root my phone first so I can do a proper backup of my app data etc, can I still do the update? Also if I use Titanium or something like that to backup my app data will I then be able to restore to ICS after OTA update completes?

Thansk.

Yea,just get CWM on your phone after rooting,backup your current rom then flash the zip daz created from your files. :)

Remember to do a full wipe in CWM after backing up and before flashing the rom.

You`ll have to flash superuser (link in dazz`s post) to get root again when you flash the rom.

If you're not on B9xx already which sounds true, you'll need to do the OTA properly for the RIL, touchscreen firmware and other changes.

The CWM zips are for people on earlier B9xx ROMs that would rather a nicer update.

[Guest anything-but]

Bugger,forgot that!

Listen to the man that knows. :D

So ppl are still best to use the B926(Chinese ICS release) which has better HSPA then? :)

[Guest djuroue]

My wife has B926 and its way too slow! Dont use it please !

Ok, so I'll be ok to use superRecovery to get root though right. Just not install CWM.

no you need to use unlok bootloader tool look for how to root 4.0 on here

No I'm just wanting to root my gingerbread device so I can backup app data before updating OTA to ICS.

Am I in the ballpark?

[Guest anything-but]

Think so,but I'm sure someone more qualifed will post soon. :)

Just use the huawei all back up app, doesn't need root just an apk... Should be around here somewhere --

Oh, I did do a backup with that, but I was under the impression that it wouldn't backup the actual app data? I thought you needed titanium backup or similar with root access to backup app data? Am I wrong? Does it get backed up to google? I just want to make sure my app data was backed up before OTA update. Is it not neccessary? I'm having a hard time working out exactly what to backup before OTA update.

I believe it does back up app and data, but i would advise only backing up the really important apps or you do it through titanum back up... Only thing i think all back up is good at is backing up allbthe system stuff(contacts, texts, settings and notes...)

So i recommend all back up for system stuff and titanium backup for app+data

If you root your device you'll lose all your data anyway, AFAIK.

[Guest Dazzozo]

Yes, currently the best update path is to be on a B926 core with a B93x ROM.

Rooting doesn't lose any data.
