Help please!!! Started to root now STUCK!

If I format it will it delete all my pictures and videos and ringtones?

Yup. Back up EVERYTHING on the card first.

on behalf of the forum, we owe you an apology - there really aren't any cookies....unless FBM makes cross-country delivery skiing should be pretty nice soon, tho...

Link one in my sig will talk you through some of it.

And COOKIES!!!!

So back it up onto my computer first then transfer it back? Will I have to re root?

What! I was totally lured here under the false pretenses of cookies!!! Ok ok..... maybe I did it because I like to feel dangerous lol... but the cookies wouldve been awesome lol

Exactly. Just create a folder on the desktop, open the SD card, then select all and drag to the new folder, wait for it to finish, and then reformat the card in the phone, if possible. There's a trick to that if you want to know it.

technically, that might be considered a "bait and switch". but look at it this way - if all goes according to rumor, hopefully in the not-to-distant-future, you'll get a taste of gingerbread spice before most others.

OOoo!!! Whats the trick??? I got it all copied... now im twiddling my thumbs and thinking about gingerbread cookies in the future But I wouldn't mind formatting while waiting for the cookie

 

[huskerkate]

i wanna hear it, too...

 

[furbearingmammal]

Settings> SD card & phone storage> Unmount SD card> wait till the Format SD card stops being grayed out> Format SD card

If you can't format the SD card you'll need to do it on your PC and that might not do as good a job, but it will work if you have to.

And there are cookies in that thread I sent you to, dammit!

:rofl3:

 

[awwpickle]
