I didn't need to worry about a backup as all my phone data is stored elsewhere and I ensure regular reliable backups of my Magic anyway. My text messages get pushed up to my gmail account and labelled "SMS" with a handy utility called SMSBackup. I had no desire to restore the text messages, I can always search my gmail account if I need to find one. I also use AppManager to backup my apps to the SD card every time I install new apps, so I already had a collection of apk's sitting on my SD card ready for re-installation. I found that it was a good excuse to clean out the crap I didn't use often! I also regularly rsync my SD card (plugged into Linux machine via USB and just rsync the mounted SD to a local folder for photo backups etc). For returning to a stock image... I couldn't imagine wanting to at this point in time! But it's essentially the same process just with an update.zip containing the version of Android you want to go to. cheers, jared Thanks for your comment.

Another interesting tweep is @mmanning13 to follow on all things Android. Cheers Tony Hollingsworth Jared

It certainly makes it look simple and do-able...even without the SDK. But can you return to the factory image if you want to? I wouldn't want to fork to Cyanogen and not be able to come back.....just as on a PC I want to be able to restore the factory build it came with if I should wish to do so. You also make no mention of a backup - system, apps or data - or your existing apps or data. Those are gaps big enough to make me think your recipe is a little TOO lite. :-) Thanks for outline.
