Want to upgrade firmware - What will be reset?

I want to upgrade my firmware to the latest Curve 8900 firmware from T-Mobile.  I've installed a couple of apps which I don't mind reinstalling or reconfiguring, but I'm more concerned with losing settings such as my profiles, which are pretty complicated and tough to document well.
When I do a firmware upgrade, what settings will get reset to factory defaults, and what will be left as is?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Do a full backup of your device before doing the upgrade, then restore the backup your settings will be restored.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • If I have an unlocked iPhone 4 and want to upgrade to ios7, will it lock on me when installed?

    If I have an unlocked iPhone 4 and want to upgrade to ios7, will it lock on me when installed?

    Hi,
    No, you can upgrade and your device (not your OS version) will stay unlocked.
    Hope that helps.

  • (MacBook pro 8,1)  Firmware password will not reset. Resetting PRAM fails.

    (MacBook pro 8,1)  Firmware password will not reset. Resetting PRAM fails. Resetting NVRAM in Open Firmware fails. Resetting PMU fails. Any suggestions?

    Not trying to circumvent any feature or security of the hardware. I am the owner of the hardware, I know the current  firmware password. I am simply trying to turn off my current firmware password so that I may reset the PRAM to fix a failed OS install. The instructions to turn off the current firmware password should also include having to enter in the current firmware password as done on previous models with the boot CD. This feature was made available to all models because it is a security must have and it abides by industry-standard security procedures as stated in HIPPA and other ISO standards.

  • WRT54g V6, constant disconnect.. 2 week old unit.. upgraded firmware -- what the..?

    I upgraded firmware to the latest(november one). I reseted both router and cable modem and all 3 computer using it.
    I've tried something like 100 MTU number, and I still get the same disconnection problems.. seems the power LED is blinking while I get disconnected.
    it seems this is a pretty bad router, that gets overwhelmed when you download too much on two or more computer simultaneously.
    all my computers are using WIRED connections.
    I need help before I terminate this unit with a large wooden club.
    really need help, if linksys doesnt want to lose a customer forever.
    ps:also -- whats up with the cheap 2mb flash and 8mb ram on this version? earlier version of this unit had 4mb flash and 16mb ram.. im very sad to see you guys downgrading with higher version numbers.. nice marketing!

    I mean I tried 100 different MTU number from 1500 to 1000, with nothing happening..
    I've sent 3 emails to support, they all say they gonna answer within 24 hours and answer to all 3 of them within days.......

  • I am running 10.6.8 want to upgrade 10.8 will i loose some older operations like iweb?

    I am running 10.6.8 time to upgrade 10.8 will i loose some older operations like iweb?
    Also if i load Mavericks will I still be able to revert back if I don't like the format?

    Upgrading from 10.6 will loose Rosetta and therefore, all legacy software that relies on Rosetta.  That includes things like MS Office versions older than 2008.
    You need to make a backup of your content, on an external drive, before updating so you have a means for reverting if necessary.  To revert to an older version of Mac OS X you have to erase the hard drive and then reinstall the older Mac OS X and all content.  That is easiest if done from a complete backup of your current system.

  • My apple tv don't want to upgrade? what do i do?

    every time i star me apple tv it say i have to upgrade the sofware and i star doin that and take like 3 min and it toll me it fale, what do i do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are using ethernet, try the update with wifi.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • I had a CC 2014 student subscription and want to renew but what will it cost?

    I want to renew my Creative Cloud student subscription but in the "update payment details" all I can see is a figure of $24.95..is it a month to month subscription?  I am surprised there isn't more information.  I am an Australian customer

    You've likely been on a first year only promotional rate (14.99/month).
    After that first year, you'll be paying the standard rate for Creative Cloud Student & Teacher Edition  (24.99/month - as long as you lock in for a 12-month contract).

  • My iPod is lock and I want to erase it what will happen if I erase it?

    Hello

    If you erase it it will be erased.
    If you do not know the screen-lock pascode
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
                         If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • What will be lost when I reset my keychain?

    My computer is telling me it can't find my keychain, and I just want to know exactly what will happen if I decide to reset it? I don't want to lose anything important.

    You will have to re input your passwords for each site or app you open that you had stored in your old keychain.
    You might try opening the Keychain application and see if your old one is there. Select it and try using Keychain First Aid to repair it.
