I downloaded Rom Manager yesterday and first thing I did was to make a backup. The phone turned off, then went into recovery mode. No problem I think, just hit the reboot system link. The triangle with the little android guy comes on, and on, and on. Nothing happens. Oh crap, don't panic. DroidX said not to panic I was thinking. I pull battery, press power button, and phone goes into recovery, again, select reboot....nothing. I press update.zip file.....nothing.
Now I start checking the forums. Don't panic says DroidX. Two hours go by and I'm beginning to panic. I know DroidX says not to, but it's hard not to. I am a master motorcycle mechanic and expert motocrosser racer, not a "phone geek". 3 1/2 hours go by and I'm thinking I will be without my phone for awhile when I select the update button once again. Nothing again. My head is beginning to hurt from reading all the forum posts when I look down and notice the triangle and droid guy are no longer lit up, but dulled down. They are still there, but not bright like before. I then select reboot and the triangle and droid guy light up. Once again, nothing happens. I need Droid X's phone number I am thinking when at least 20 minutes later, the phone reboots and everything starts back up.
I then load Adrnalyne's test 3 through Rom Manager even though I am gun shy at this point about using it. It loads with no problem and reboots. Woops, lost all my apps and everything else. Didn't see that coming but since I had backed up everything using Titanium Backup, that was not a problem.
So, my questions are:
Do I try using Rom Backup to backup the phone again and what happened?
Why did it take so long to reboot? I think the phone would of eventually rebooted but was I just impatient and didn't give it enough time?
