Reflash without losing data?

Hi guys,

I've been having some persistent trouble with my device and have been advised to reflash to see if that fixes my problems. Someone suggested to me on a previous thread that it was possible to do this without erasing all my data and apps and such, but I had always thought that reflashing (following, for example, these instructions) would wipe my phone completely. Am I just completely wrong or is there a different method which avoids wiping the phone.

The exact advice I was given is as follows:

Quote:

Fastboot flash the images separately. Don't flash the userdata.img. Will keep your data.

My confusion is really with the statement "fastboot flash the images separately" - the only image I had thought to flash was a fresh copy of the stock 5.1 ROM I'm running, and surely this would wipe the phone?

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious - I'm still very new to the business of rooting and custom ROMs.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running stock 5.1 ROM over the latest leankernel (on an N6 of course).

Reflash NABI 2 to NABI XD?

Hello all -

My daughter has a NABI 2 that she got a couple of years ago for Christmas. She is starting to outgrow the interface. I like the idea of the NABI XD since it still gives me control over certain functions like installation of apps, but gives her a more mature tablet interface.

Is it possible to reflash the NABI 2 with a NABI XD ROM? Many of the technical specs appear similar. If so, can someone point me to the appropriate downloads and instructions.

I admit, I am fairly technical, but not a professional or any kind of developer. It has probably been at least three years or more since I have re-flashed or rooted anything. I am good at following directions though, so that is why I am asking for specific instructions.

Thanks in advance,

N910A => N910T via Reflash

Can this conversion be performed?

I.E. I buy an N910A (which is generally selling A LOT cheaper than a N910T via refurb sales), and reflash it with an N910T ROM (even Stock would do), and expect it to behave as would a N910T?

i.e. Could I get WiFI calling, and Band 12 on TMo?

Any directions pointed to would be appreciated.
