A little help
I was about to start a thread about a very similar issue. I am coming from a DX, so the first thing I did was copy my entire SD card over to my computer then copy select files over to the Nexus. The first thing I did after I unlocked it and rooted it was to get all my apps on there and my home screens setup, then make a backup. After messing around for a bit I wanted to run through the factory reset procedure or install a backup (to practice when the custom ROMs arrive), and then re-install of my apps via titanium. Well, as soon as the factory reset completed, all of my backups and even titanium's app backups were all gone. I didn't realize it would totally format the entire drive. Is there a way to partition the hard drive so we can keep things from going away after a factory reset?
What is the point of formatting the hard drive if everything I need to get back up and running is on there. I had already copied the factory images and everything to the internal storage. Am I going to have to backup everything to my computer every time I want to install a new ROM? What if I get stuck in a boot loop and cant reach my files, then have to factory reset, which will lose all of my backups? With the DX, even when you did a factory reset your SD card and all the files were totally safe. Someone please help me out here, I have always had a SD card to save things to.
