Installed Cyanogen 7 on my Desire HD tonight and am loving it, HOWEVER. When I try to import all my contacts from SIM it says I don't have any! And for some reason I don't have my contacts sync'd with Google (Probably just me being a noob and not setting it up correctly before).
Any ideas?
Are you sure you didn't backup to sd card?

Well, did you tried a full wipe bevore you flashed CM7 onto your DHD? I'd recommend you to do this and clean your cache in CWM, then install CM7 again.
Alternatly try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028927. I'm running on it and it's very very nice.
Not managed to fix it but found a workaround in case anybody else has a similar problem. I put my SIM and SD card into my brothers Desire and copied all the contacts to the SD card, and then imported onto my phone from SD.

Positive, the contacts were copied onto the phone from my SIM card when I got it a few weeks ago.

Yesterday I picked up a replacement evo. The replacement was a brand new phone, not a refurbished.
Sprint swapped out SD cards at the store from my old evo to the new one and had issue starting it. Phone froze up a several times before he could see if it made phone calls.
I fully charged it and updated prl and profile and still had constant reboots and freezes.
So I rooted my phone to see if a different rom would help and I'm still having the same issues.
My question is, do I need to maybe format my SD card? If so do I need to save any files and folders?
Also I'm currently running cm6, do I need to unroot and put the default rom back on?
Thank you.

I think the cleanest method would be to unroot and put the original ruu on the phone. Either way you should back up your sd card on your pc so you dont loose any information.

What files if any do I need to put back on the SD card?
Or do I just format it and restart the phone
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Just your personal files.....any files needed for re-rooting can always be downloaded again....additionally, you don't want to assume the method you used to root your old phone would be the same way for your new one...

So if unroot my phone and go back to the stock rom, I can then proceed to format my SD card and my evo will still boot?
I don't need to transfer over any system files or folders?

same problem
I have a similiar issue where my evo is not reading my SD now. Tried to backup and retore nandroid and it would never complete. I am assuming the SD may be damaged, however when I boot into recovery it reads everything that is on the SD when I go to flash ROM from SD. I would like to format and see if this is the problem, but will that erase the rom i am currently using?

Formatting your SD Card will do nothing to your ROM

Yes, your phone will still boot. Do not transfer over system files or folders, just transfer pictures/video/etc. from your SD card to your computer, unroot, run the RUU (DO NOT RUN THE 2.3 RUU YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT), then format your card. Oh, and do not accept the OTA Update they are pushing.
Or, you could format it in recovery and see what happens. If you are using AmonRa, go to Wipe ---> SD Card. (Remember - transfer your files to your computer)
Hi guys,
Please be gentle, I've just come across from the iPhone 4
I have a desire HD which I have rooted and have installed revolution HD ROM. I would like to try LEEDROID'S ROM, my question is how I can simply change ROMS whilst retaining my apps and data?
I am sure there is an easy way around this (only if you know how?)
I am guessing there is a backing up app which you are using?
Your help is much appreciated
Thank you
p.s. Just on this occasion I would like to perform a clean install and retain data/apps on any later rom swaps, can i just go ahead and wipe my sd card?
One of the best .. titanium backup
http://se.androlib.com/android.application.com-keramidas-titaniumbackup-xCzz.aspx
brilliant
that fits the bill perfectly.
can I wipe my sd card then? and then update the ROM? or are there essential files on the sd card?
There is no need to wipe SD card, do not wipe it, Titanium backup stores your data there.
Make backup of your rom first .... Really do it.
If something goes wrong, you can go back.
Do not delete the file "clockworkmod" it's your backup
Make a backup of the entire sd on your computer before you delete
thank you for your help guys
the reason I want to wipe the SD card is due to data stored on there from apps I have installed. As I am doing a clean install, I may not want to re-install the apps.
But I'll take your advise and not wipe the card. I'll just delete any obvious directories that are not needed.
Many thanks guys,

Buy a 2nd card, and do the new ROM on that, then you can test ;-)
lol good idea, I need a larger card
this is what I missed about XDA, iPhone forums aren't as helpful
OK I am confused now
I have flashed to LEEDROIDS rom, and all of my data and apps are still present. I have done no backup.
Any ideas how I can flash and delete everything and start over?
Many thanks

Thought he did it ........ He did not backup either
So i have an HTC desire running dj droid froyo. This morning i decided to try to get pictures off of a micro sd card and instead of transferring them to mine, i took mine out and put it in. It didn't boot, so i put my original micro sd card back in. After that it booted up but gave me a error force close message repeatedly so i shut it off. Now it won't even boot. I am guessing that i will have to flash another ROM but i was wondering if there was anything else i could do.
Thank you.
Wipe data/factory reset in clockwork, or equivalent in Amon Ra. Then restore a backup. Its worked for me in the past. Had that exact problem when swapping sd cards. Good luck

Did the wipe do the trick?
I have no issues changing mine but i before copy all the information plus the new one...

That's exactly what I did. I had no idea what my issue was but I guess its that my firmware is on my SD card? I just wiped and flashed a new Tom (for some reason froyo) and it works great. Is there any way to change to a higher class SD?

Copy all contents of sd to your desktop, format new card then recopying over - voila!
Hi, wondering if someone might be able to help me out.
Trying to do a nand back-up but it keeps failing with an error of
"Errror while making a backup image of /data!"
I've tried to upgrade to cwm 5.8.1.3 same thing. formated my SD card and same thing.
Any suggestions?

Do you have an external sd card?

How many backups do you currently have? Remove some old one to make room for new ones

Did you rename the file? If you did, it needs to not have any spaces. Soithastolooklikethis.

sd is full
My guess it's because your sd is full, make some room and try again. Backup important files to your pc and save a couple gigs for the space the backup needs. Also, I have found that backing up from the rom manager app and rebooting recovery and backing up from cwm recovery produces different md5 sums, so I generally only backup while in recovery and not from the rom manager app itself.
hi folks,
thanks for the replies but the sd card isn't full as i've formatted it so there's no way the external is full.
come on, i'm not that big of a noob

I've done tons of back ups in the past month, and restores, but I just recently started getting the error as in the op, and now it runs until it gets to image back up, and says it errors backing that up, and then quits. I have 6 GB free on my card, and I only keep the last successful back up in case of fails like this. I haven't changed anything on my own, and the same ROM I backed up last week I now can't. Somewhere something went bad I'm guessing, but I'm glad it's not me that did something wrong. I will try an internal save to see if that works. If that works then I will wipe my card's CW file, and try a fresh one. Maybe just doing a complete factory reset, and fresh new ROM will do the trick. I'll keep ya all posted since more than one is having this issue.

No go for me. Just re-flashed CWM, and it still fails trying to back up image to either internal or external. ugh
Well I flashed a new rom from scratch, and now it works again. The old one must have gotten corrupt.
