Prepping for the razr_blade method
I just watched the video and it seems very straight forward, however I just want to get clear on a couple of things.
My phone received the OTA update a few days ago, along with everyone else. Prior to letting the update take place, I followed the advise by TisMyDroid and backed up both my internal and external SD onto my PC. I connected the Maxx in Mass storage mode and then created two separate folders on the PC for each SD. I used the old fashioned xcopy command in an administrator DOS window to copy over everything in tact with original dates, etc. (I also used the "/e" switch without the quote marks so that empty directories, if any, would also copy over).
I then let the update run and I found myself up and running on JB with all of my apps and data still in place...so far so good. But here's the question:
Should I first wipe the phone via an fdr and then run the root process? I noticed that in the video, the phone appeared as if it were right out of the box.
Assuming that you advise to take that route, what would be the next step after establishing root on the phone. The "safestrap", "fastboot", titanium backup strings have all become somewhat of a blur and I am just not clear as to what the next step (or steps) should be.
It just seems as if getting to root is similar to saying that I want a car. Now I need to know which "must have" accessories, as well as "nice to have" accessories should go with it.
As someone else on the website mentioned, this is a business phone and I want to do it once and do it right, particularly so that I can get the foxfi wireless equivalent up and running. My original concern was always to see if Webtop 3.0 survived past the JB update and I now that I know that it did, so I am finally ready to go. (Webtop even seems faster now).
Thanks as always,
'Bean.
