I recently reset my phone in hopes of manually installing the Froyo update, no luck.
Used MyBackupPro to backup apps locally and online. HTC sync for contacts, calendar
as a safeguard. Not all purchased apps showed up in the market as purchased, so
do back those up.

Yes it will. It is important to copy what you want saved either to the SD Card if not already there, or to your PC prior to doing a factory reset.
Also be aware that Backup Assistant has not worked in a long time.

Back-up Assistance not working? What's with that? Thanks for the info on the factory data reset.

None of us know. It has been going on for weeks. People are waking up to no contacts at all on their phone. But if I make changes and sync, I get a notice the sync was successful and nothing has changed.
I have contacts where no matter what I do to get their BD correct, it is always changed back to another date. Tried on the phone and sync. Tried online and save, it immediately reverts to another date. I have even attempted to delete the contact and re-add her and her daughter, birthday still changes. Frustrating the heck out of me.
So just be aware you may not get the contacts back automatically or correctly.
