^I've already looked up this on internet, most of all say FactoryReset worked for them, but found few who say it didn't work for them..


Well, I've bought some paid apps, how to backup them?
And backup means...copy paste or using some backup tools, like Titanium backup etc?

not copy. use tools like titanium backup that save everything. and use tools like appbrain that remember which apps you are using and install them back after reset. regarding paid apps, just install them back after reset.

You're getting that error cause froyo has 3e recovery which does not allow flashing unsigned update.zip.. You need to install a kernel that has 2e recovery (CFRoot kernel) or one which has integrated clockworkmod (Speedmod kernel).. Google for these kernels, and you will find them :)

1. Install Launcherpro
2. Download firmware from samfirmware and install via Odin.
3. Rooting is very simple and reversible.

My suggestion: Install Doc's JPO 7.2.6 ROM.. Follow the instructions here (make 100% sure you backup your /efs) [ROM] Doc Froyo BareBone_0.1 / ADJP5 v8.0.1 / XWJPA v7.6.2 / XXJPO v7.6.2 (21/11/10) - xda-developers
