Restoring a backup after updating ROM.

Has anybody got the solution to restoring your backup after upgrading the ROM. I just upgraded the ROM to the i-mate (much more stable), but cant restore the backup I made before the upgrade because the device is now an i-mate device, not an 02 device.
Im sure its simple, im jusy not techie.
Thanks,

the way i did it was ...
Used a tool to open the backup file, then copy all files to the phone.
Ive attached the program below

Hi all new? here got an o2 orbit need advice?

Hi all new? here got an o2 orbit need advice?
Im just wondering what i could and should do to improve it, its currently runnin on wm5 i have the official file to update to wm6 but dont want to lock out my orange sim card ?
any advice ?

Hi can i install these special roms on this site without messing up the usual features on my phone . Pleases help?

Yes you can. Make sure you unlock the CID first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242

Cheers m8 so which rom is recommended at the moment and i wont mess up my phone will i as im unlocked o2 at the moment. Also can i backup my rom im using now simply?? thx again

I have the same phone on o2, (I didn't know Orange done this phone ?) anyway, I would reccomend this ROM, its what im using.

It is based on Windows mobile 6, and has all extra toys to play with.
Read the post, see if you like it (its best one IMO)
Download it, do step one first (This is CID unlocking), then step two (flash the device).
I think you can backup your device now but it depends on what you want to backup.
If you mean backup your contacts, SMS messages, photos ect then sure you can. Copy them with activesync or search google, there are many programs out there.
If you mean backup your device entirely (As in ROM) im pretty sure you can but its not needed. You will find on this site both the offical ROM that your phone came with WM5 so you can go back to that, or the offical ROm for WM6 so you can go back to that.
All custome ROMS are SIM unlocked so you will be able to use your orange sim card.
Hope this helped.

Dump stock rom

Hi, Prior to flashing a new rom (Can't wait) I want to dump the original one for warrantee reasons. I have found a thread regarding the Kaiser, which is apparently ok for the Diamond.
1. Is there an easier way of doing it?
2. Is there an Orange stock rom out there?
Thanks in advance

I would be intersted in this aswell for warrenty reasons.
Would idealy like to just download a stock one for orange but i guess if we had the first batch we just need the stock HTC one as there are no orange bloat on them yet. I just hope orange realise this if any of the first batch have to be returned and dont turn around and say they have been flashed when they hanvet.

Interested by that for the same reasons.
And one more question : since when you flash a new rom you'll lose all your contacts and stuff, if you dump your rom, will those contacts be saved in the dump, and so will you get all back exactly the same way it was if you flash the dumped rom back ?

Nandroid backup Orange UK Hero ROM required

Does anyone have a Nandroid backup of the shipper Orange HTC Hero? If they do can I ne sent a copy and can this be used to restore my Orange Hero to as shipped .. I have a wifi issue after rooting.
Any help would be appreciated.

With all the Root'ing going on does anyone have a Nandroid backup of the Orange shipped ROM?
Thanks

I've got one here, Ian. I did the backup right after a factory reset, skipping the Google/wi-fi/time zone set-up so it should be as pristine as possible.

Dropped you a pm ... could you email to address in PM ... many thanks

You have the wifi issue after rooting by Modaco 1.4 or 1.3? Could I use modaco 1.4 patch to root my hero without wifi's problem!?

Can I get a copy too?....I've rooted my device fine with the original method but it could come in handy in the future!
Thanks.

Thanks to Shluggity.
I know have an original Orange ROM back up (Nandriod). If there is interest I will post it for others.

Please do, i'll host it somewhere in a repository of stock ROMs.
Anyone have a T-Mo stock ROM?

Please post it scopes64, would be good to have a backup.

Copy of backup is now with Paul at Modaco. It should be available soon.

I may have one for in a few days or so. I just bought a hero from a place in Chicago...it looked unbranded to me but the auction listing said tmo, we'll see. If it is, I'll be a Factory reset and then do a nandroid backup. I've never done it before as this is my first android phone but I"m happy to learn and contribute.

Orange stock Rom
Hiya folks. I am looking for a nandroid stock backup rom for my Orange Hero. Can anyone help? cheers Andy

why not just download the htc RUU update from the website and flash that, its for the orange hero.

Orange UK .ruu /rom?

any one got a stock orange uk htc desire rom?? im returning mine tommorrow and i need it asap!

I am looking for the Orange ROM as well.

Whats the reason for returning it? There is a French-based ROM floating about, not sure if that will do the trick...

Stock Orange ROM has never seen the light of day, it's the risk you take debranding your phone

It's a shame, in a way, that no-one did a dump of the system & data partitions from an Orange-branded phone prior to flashing

Well there are 2 options, wait for the official 2.2 ruu to turn up.
or ask someone prior to rooting orange UK phones to take a dump (you will have to talk them through it.)

I am running stock OrangeUK, I made a dump of the system but I didn't know what to do from there. If anyone can help me through I would only be too happy to give it a go!

Can you also dump boot and data please??
Then, if you know how to use FTP, I can give you access to my server to upload them to if you wish and I can host/get a flashable ROM done for those wishing to re-brand

Yeah, you will have to bare with me sorry, have formatted since I got the system folder. Also yes i know how to upload to ftps, will let you know when i have the files though!

How did you dump the orange Rom?
I was under the impression it wasn't possible and
people were waiting for orange based ruu to be leaked on HTC,web
I wish I looked into this more myself now, if it's possible...>_<oh badger

You can dump the stock partitions (system, boot, data, etc etc) the only thing which is needed then is to unpack these images, and to re-package it into a flashable update.
It's not so much a full RUU then, but more of a Clone
Either way, it will still then give the ability to re-flash a stock-RUU-based ROM for Orange, and/or have a stock Orange-based ROM with Root
Soon as I get the files from saitrix, I'll get on with it, and do 2 versions, 1 rooted, 1 stock.

I did a nandroid on my uk orange just after rooting.
Don't know if its possible to re flash the nandroid then do an unroot. If it is then i can zip it up and ftp it or put it on my ftp server.

I have only been able to copy the system folder, it seems the other folders are protected for some reason.

Have you tried reinstalling older radio rom's? .20 works for me tho
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Dude, i'm running some crappy ROM on my HTC Desire, did you ever make the flashable RUU? I NEED IT

Bumping up an old thread here!
It looks like I may have a problem with my Desire's motherboard cos I have constant rebooting problems. I'm gonna need to return my phone to stock before I can send it back for repair.
Did anyone ever have any luck getting a stock orange uk rom?
