I know how to obviously backup movies and pictures and videos, since I have access to all files... but... yea, back to question 1. .
2. As for "de-branding", I'm not sure if my phone is "branded" or not, but will the option "Replace Operating System" also de-brand, or only the "Comprehensive reset"?
3. main.bin and emmc.bin. Main is the 1,1GB one, and the emmc is the 255MB one? Can I change the names of these so it makes my life easier when typing commands?

Thanks :P,

Edit: Can/Should I try out "FasterN9" before this? I really wanted to try it out, now that it's "Stable" and everyone says it works flawlessly...
1) Once you are doing a clean flash to pr1.3 it would be recommended to not restore a backup so as not to mess up things...Maybe what you can do is do a backup and copy it to your PC then delete all folders except the messaging one so that your messages are restored after a clean flash...

1.1) You can't back up those things but N9QTweak does allow you to backup Profilematic settings...Maybe check the wiki if it allows for the game(s) you want too...

2) What you need to do is open cmd.exe as administrator and do:

Code:
cd /path/to/flasher
flasher -f -F rootfs.bin emmc.bin -R
3) Yes you are correct...Editing of file names is advisable so no issues there...

4) You can use FasterN9 on pr1.3...It'll be better as IIRC the last few versions have been developed on a pr1.3 device with pr1.3 target audience...
