Hi,
I have fully flashed with both eMMC and firmware quite a few times now.

On the last attempt I restored email/bookmarks only -- no restored apps, no settings.

However each time what I've found is:
* I can initially use the phone fine, connect to network etc.
* "settings" works fine
* can do basic ops with built in apps ie browse, setup photo sharing using built in plugins

After FIRST reboot I find
* Rather than "settings being categorized" all settings are now in "Extras", and things such as network connections don't work properly.

Checking "installed applications", there is nothing extra installed

This is not good. I may have a "loose" contacts & try not restoring anything.

It's possible it could be related to changing from UK fw to generic global, but I'd be somewhat surprised.

No-one else getting similar issues?
