do a nand back up before you flash anything first. Once you do that, if you want to switch back to stock all you do is a restore and you will have the stock ROM back.
the back up is running right now....nand backup is the same as ClockworkMod Recovery right?
A couple questions about these instructions though.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
if NANDroid is the same as that ClockworkMod Recovery backup then I just did that.
How do I format the system, data & cache partitions?
Factory reset....I know how to do that
Flashy CYanogenMod....how do I do this? download the file and change it to update.zip?
and what's the poitn of Google Apps addon package?
Yes nand backup is the same thing. Be sure to back-up your wimax keys just in case. I like Amon ra recovery but they do the same thing, its just personally opinion.
These are the steps you do:
Do a back-up
After that you, go to wipe which should bring a group of items to wipe. Wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data reset.
Then after that, you go to flash a zip file and find the ROM you want to flash.
Cyanogen is a ROM that you could flash if you like.
google apps is needed for the Cyanogen ROM to get things like the marketplace, gmail and some other items that sense roms have.
