I have a 770
- 1 gig MMC.
- Booting from MMC.
- OS 2006 version 3.2006.49-2. with patch for wlan memory corruption fix.
(I previously followed the great
How_To_Easily_Boot_From_MMC_card
instructions, including; becoming root, partitioning the MMC, installing dual boot menu, cloning the OS 2006 system, and the patch for wlan memory corruption fix.)
- My desktop PC is running Windows XP
I want to
- switch to the latest OS2007HE
- install seatbelt
- install fanoush's faster kernel.
I've read *many* threads on the topic and I want to check to make sure I understand what I am doing before I jump in, especially the order of doing things.
So here are my questions.
Question 1a) Before I install the OS2007HE is there a way to preserve a copy of my current system so in case the OS2007HE doesn't work out, I can easily go back to how I have things right now? (bookmarks, programs, files and all)
Question 1b) After I install the OS2007HE Is there is a way quickly "reload" my bookmarks and files into the system?
I think the answer to both of these is, "no"
From what I read, when I switch to OS2007HE, *all* info/data on my 770 will be lost.
In other words I will
1) lose all my bookmarks and therefore have to recreate them?
2) lose all other files in my 770. text documents in the folders , contacts in the default contact file, music, etc
Question 2) The order of how to go about switching to OS2007HE?
I think it's this:
Put OS2007HE onto the flash memory
Then flash the faster kernel
Then install seatbelt
Then copy all this onto the MMC (which will overwrite the previously copied OS2006)
Then boot from MMC
Question 3) If I want to do other things like the flash 9 hack, or the skype hack, at what point in the process should I do that?
Thank you in advance for your help.
