New questions (i think) about unbranding

Is their a way to backup the AT&T firmware before attempting this? Can XS++ do that?

Making It Simple NO.

Interesting. It seems like any type of software would be "backupable" :p with the right software.

I really want to do this. I just don't want to get stuck with a brick that I just paid for and received in the mail. I don't understand AT&T's point in disabling flash themes, :30+ MP3 ringtones, etc.

I bought a W550 two years ago. Two weeks later I accidentally jumped in a pool with it in my swim trunks. I forgot it was there. I didn't have insurance. I was stuck using a very old phone for the next 2 years. I don't want a repeat.

I guess I just need to decide if this is worth it.
