before 'upgrading' your Touch, BACK UP FIRST!

you have been warned, but if you back it up first, you won't have to resort to all the 'restart 8 times' nonsense, and can simply do a:

dd if=my_backup.img of=/dev/touch_dev bs=1M

you can use OS X, Windoze, or Linux to back up or restore the 1,958,739,968-byte image (boot w/a noogie.img microsd, then determine the 'touch' dev by using fdisk -l or your system's filesystem table)... backing up is as simple as:

dd if=/dev/touch of=my_backup.img bs=1M
