Ok, I have to say I always saved those data and put them back on my phone after every installation/upgrade.

Since currently, my phone seems to not mount partition sdcard (https://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1864), I am sure that information would be useful to complete doc to avoid putting user phones into this state or to repair it when it is in this state. I will open a new thread to find a specific solution for this issue to avoid confusion between those two topics, but I can do beta tester on theses doc I would like since I am in the place of the people who want to increase there knowledge and help but who can't :) - Fil Lupin. _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
