Did you root your phone before attempting to upgrade? <br />Since you did not back up your data(as you should do always before attempting an upgrade you) you will not be able to restore them, except of course the google specific data such as your contact list or apps.mastorakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169125895923677390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421894077088956274.post-54398758552695653132011-08-09T05:50:49.765+03:002011-08-09T05:50:49.765+03:00hey i've come up with a proble like "poor...hey i've come up with a proble like "poortp" nd lose everything cuz i didn't make any backup so plz what shd i do. my phone just sleep on saying mytouch3g so pllllllllz help me outhenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181926213934638596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421894077088956274.post-48444258792844382662011-08-04T03:51:13.880+03:002011-08-04T03:51:13.880+03:00Awesome.

I mounted USB and copied both files and flashed first the ROM (DIET-...). Unfortunately I got the same error.<br />Luckily I still had my previous SD-card with the Froyo backup.<br />Since the error is in the boot.img, I guess it has something to do with the original operator of the phone. Everytime I boot the phone, their logo keeps on appearing. This would also mean that I will have to stay with Froyo :-(.<br />Thanks anyway for your help ... or you might have the solution ?<br />Regards,<br />Philpoortphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402046145452794971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421894077088956274.post-83950745650475086302011-07-28T20:35:40.372+03:002011-07-28T20:35:40.372+03:00Hello Phil

USB mount and copy of both files went well with my rooting.
