01-25-2012 10:29 PMTo do that... You need to get an app like titanium back up or my backup... That will back up apps/data/contacts/texts/call log and everything

01-26-2012 06:05 AMMake sure you hit bootstrap recovery then hit reboot recovery. I have a DX but I use Droid 2 bootstrap with no problems...I think DX bootstrap only works on android 2.2 but I could be mistaken
