    Flashing without wiping?

    Can it be done? I know it's recommended to fully wipe the phone in between roms, but right now I'm getting a BSOD on boot, and I have some data I'd like to save. It only needs to be reliable enough for me to back up my data, then I can do a full wipe and fresh install. I don't even really care what rom it is, as long as I can still flash back to stock, as I have a replacement phone coming in tomorrow and this needs to be unrooted and returned.

    are you able to boot into custom recovery? sounds like no,, FXZ may be only way out of it

    I only have the stock recovery unfortunately. I've been trying to find or create an update.zip that I can use to restore the launcher, but I've been failing miserably on all fronts.

    Alright, I was able to fxz 905 without wiping data via HoB, and it left me in the same boat as before--bsod on boot. I still need to find a way to wipe the dalvik and remove/reinstall a launcher program via recovery.

    you can access ADB through recovery .. may have to go that route
