Backup, Root, Reset

[sqeet]

So, I've searched the forums. Ive searched other forums and I'm not really finding a clear answer.

I just need to know the answers to these questions:

1. Is there a root method that does not require me resetting my phone?

and if no to that:

2. How can I backup my phone data and restore after rooting? I am mainly concerned with text history. I need a backup solution that works without root, of course.

Thanks.

2. appbrain will do apps for you


you can download a app from market such a wavesecure, that will back up your texts.

Use Titanium backup or MyBackupPro to restore your applications and home screens...

Well you sort of need root for titanium, which he doesnt have if he's trying to back up before root. Yea?

Would the MyBackup Trial version work for what Im trying to do? I really only need to backup and restore once. I'm not looking to continually backup my phone.

You can root with unrevoked 3 and not lose anything even if you ran the OTA update. Then you can backup any way you like.
