Find the rom on here and flash it yourself. Be sure to backup using Titanium or some similar tool and then with Nandroid before you do your rom install. Then after the install you can use Titanium to restore your apps and data.
As always be sure to read up on what exactly you're doing so you can minimize the risk of messing something up.

Question

So i uninstalled CM6, and installed the stock 1.47. RUU I do not have root access now because i want to install the stock 2.2 Froyo. Is it okay that i still have AR as my recovery installed for my recovery? Also, if i was to nandroid to restore CM6 would it go back to being rooted?

If you flash the 2.2 that just came out, you're in no mans land since you'll be flashing a unrooted froyo.
In other words, you will lose root which also means that you not be able to nandroid back..

Having AR as your recovery image should be "okay" although it may get overwritten by the update, or at least locked out by a new HBOOT. If that happens, you wouldn't be able to access your nandroid backup anyway.
So, broken record time: Don't update if you don't want to lose root. Wait for a rooted ROM or a proven root method to be released.
I don't mind that. I'll wait for a root. Will it get rid of AR recovery as well. I installed stock Rom as said. Just want to make sure the recovery and everything else will be gone.

If you flash the RUU then it will bring "everything" back to stock.

Note II: Restore apps from Titanium backup to non rooted phone.

Hey this is my first post on xda. So I just wanted to know if I ever was to unroot my phone on stock firmware will I be able to use titanium backup to restore my apps? Or will I have to copy all the files from the enternal memory before the unrooting process and put it on a computer then putting it back inside the internal storage when it is non rooted.
Sorry if this didn't make any sense but some help would be helpful.
Thanks.

can u run titanium backup without root?
didnt it require root when u run the app?
I just wanted to know whether you can restore apps without root like restoring levels on games or restoring apps to a non rooted device so the contents would be saved

Titanium Backup required root access. You should try using other method/apps without the need of root access.

if u cant run titanium backup without root, how can u even do the restore action.....
Titanium won't run on non rooted device, so you can't restore game or data.
there are few other SW can run on non rooted phone, if you have backup with that, but remember data (game level) can't be restore without having root.
So restore first then unroot.

Backup question

Ok I'm rooted and stock. I'm using Titanium backup to backup all my apps. But I want to restore all my apps on a new phone that is not rooted so cant use Titanium backup. What app can I use that does not need root to restore my backup?
I'm not aware of any app that can restore a backup made with titanium, other than titanium of course.
If you want to make a new backup there may be something in the play store that doesn't require root. Not sure of anything specific though.

Yeah I'm not trying to use the titanium backup. I just need an app that doesn't need root. I would use that to make a new backup and restore that backup on the new phone.

Either Rooted or Custom Recovery, are the only ways that I know of. Why not root the new phone? You could always "Unroot" it after you have restored everything.
The new phone is the HTC one. I'm reading way too many issues with it after people root and sometimes on stock. So if my phone has problems I don't want to spend time unrooting to send out back.

you could use ADB but its more of a pain than any other method, heres a link to an .exe for that will do it for you (NO-ROOT) http://lifehacker.com/5976036/simpl...droid-phone-from-the-desktop-no-root-required windows

Backing up a non-rooted device

I have the Epic 4G Touch. I'd like to proceed with rooting it and ultimately CM10. I'd like to back up all the random stuff that I've accumulated over the last few years of owning this phone before I do that. Titanium Backup is only for rooted devices, as I understand it. What is the preferred method for backing up a device before rooting?

You can root it without losing any data.

Ypu can also just use odin to flash the el26 kernel. Then go into recovery and make a nandroid. After that flash whatever rom after wiping. Then on your new rom use titanium backup pro to restore from nandroid. Choose your apps and the data and restore. Do not restore anything system.

If you haven't moved forward with yet you can also use Helium for your backup -- it is available in the Play Store for free and is one of the only suites that will let you backup apps and data without root. I think that it will require access to a PC for the non-root backup. Good luck!

[Q] CWM backup help!

Hey guys. I was wondering if there was an app or a program that could take a backup of my phone like the one from cwm. See i have a permanently locked bootloader and i want to try out the 4.3 firmware, without losing all my customisations on my current firmware. If thereis an app or a program that makes such backups, link it to me. THANKS

Well, if you have root then you can use this app. Another option would be using "adb backup" command, this one works without root but some contents may not be backed up...
Thanks for the reply, but there is one problem, that app doesn't allow me to restore the backup that i have made. Is there any app for that, or is it just impossible. By the way, i have a rooted phone, i just cannot unlock the bootloader
Sent from my C2005 using xda app-developers app
Uh, I forgot that, Online Nandroid Backup only makes the backup, a recovery is still needed to restore, so, it's useless for you. You'll have to stick with adb backup then, it'll backup most of your apps and data, but modifications you made directly to system (buil.prop changes, files flashed with Flash Gordon, etc) will be lost...
Ah ok thanks bro. I'll just wait until a root method for licked bootloaders has been discovered on 4.3.
Thanks again
