[Q] How to NAND backup my DHD, Where to get a stock ROM, Transfering Data after flash

Hi there,
I've got a rooted DHD (unbranded, on Orange in the UK) and have Radio S-Off using the one click tool. I'm thinking about custom roms (perhaps leedroid or a gingersense, but I think I'll wait and see how stock gingerbread runs on my DHD before flashing anything custom).
-How can I take a *full* backup of my phone? (NAND I think it's called?)
-What else do I need to do to my phone? Do I need ENG hboot? What does that do exactly? And what about clockwork mod?
-After I flash a ROM what do I lose? Is it like doing a factory reset? What's the best way of backing up and subsequently restoring contacts, accounts, settings, SMS and apps?
-How long does flashing a ROM take?
-Is my SD card touched in this process?
-Which Rom do you recommend and why? (My phone doesn't need any more performance I don't think btw, battery on the other hand )
-Anything else I should know?
Thanks in advanced

Install ClockworkMod recovery either directly or by ROM Manager and using th backup function in either (ROM Manager is simply a GUI for clockworkmod recovery).

Yes. It will allow you to flash radio's and other cool things.

EVERYTHING. Yes. Google syncs your contacts. TiTanium backup will backup apps but I never found it 100% successful. Better to get used to possibility of having to re-download them. There's a vast number of apps to backup SMS. I like Sprite but MyBackUp Pro is highly recommended too. As is SMS backup and restore.

About 5 minutes.

No. Other than you will be placing files on it and maybe partitioning it.

I recommend Cyanogen but only you can decide what ROM you like best and your phone will tell you what ROM / Radio / Kernel it likes best.

Yes, all your questions are answered. The development thread is your friend as is the search box.

Yup, thats all about it. Lol.
If you are not sure, do not do anything. Ask first. Else you will increase the risk of bricking your phone.
Cheers mate.

So I should get ENG h-boot, or I must get ENG H-boot if I just want to flash a ROM? Could you explain flashing radios please?
Thanks a lot for your very detailed response

Backup your apps and user data and do a full wipe before flashing. Maybe this helps.

I had the same problem, a few months ago. But it solved it self, no idea what the error was..

weird..it seem ok rite now after i flash it again....thanks all for help

Well I would not care if I didn't have root. that's kinda what I'm trying to do; unroot. But keeping root would be nice
What would the difference between a European stock rom and a Bell Canada stock rom? I look forward to the stock rom. Thanks

I don't think so. I flash it and I turn my device back on and it's the same. And I supposed to keep all the files laying out on the desktop? And I'm supposed to wipe all my data right?

In order to avoid potential Force crashes amongst other issues it's generally advised to wipe via clockworkmod.

Well for a proper link to it, we'll need to know more like is your Wildfire S GSM or CDMA?

Q
If you have lost root, there is a tutorial very easy to follow on how root your phone just look in the android development section

Flash "root.zip" located in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275 This should hopefully resolve your issue of losing root.

Actually i see no differences between EU and others other than the languages ... and why not flashing any RUU ?

try to do a complete rom refresh (return to stock, look for my signature, there will be almost anything you will need). It happened to me, when I flashed a wrong ruu os via cwm, but after the ruu it worked like it must.
After flash the bootup can last long enough, so wait for at least 5 mins.

There is the VirginMobile/sprint RUU for the PrimoC out at the stock ruu section if you mean that.
But then again, if the phone is already rooted, a custom will be more safer, and/or reasonable and not to mention faster.

NO, T-Mobile version converted to GPE, just wanted to flash original stock sense T-Mo radio. I noticed it works better, but was too trigger happy about GPE to pull it...

Here is the original TMOUS radio which is it is also flashable. Takes a while to flash in recovery though so give it a minute or two.

Ok so I'm having the same problem as this guy. Even after I downloaded the radio you posted I'm still getting pretty bad data speeds along with LTE dropping to HSPA even to Edge sometimes. To confirm I did this correctly, I just install zip and reboot, right?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Yep, well then either your area has issues with the network or you have a defective device. I would flash back to a stock rom to see if it makes any difference.

Actually I'm sure it's the radio from the rom I flashed because I had great reception running the stock rom. From what I understand the GPE rom has different radios. And just to confirm, all I do is flash new radio and reboot? Thanks.

Yes but when you flash ROM's they do not come with radio's, those are always flashed separate. The only time you will get a radio is if you use a RUU or perform a OTA which includes a radio in the update.

Check APN Settings make sure they are right.

The .ril files in build.prop are set much lower than stock.you'll have to edit the values and should see a improvement in signal hopefully.
