Hi freinds
i cannot install any backup software i tried it with Sprite Backup and a other app
It doesnt work.. it says, that programm is not for this device and cannot be installed
I have that problem with severel apps
my OS:
Windows Mobile 5.0 mit Feature Pack
BS 5.1.342(Build 15097.3.0.1)
Please can u help me?
My problem is not installing the backup software. Its restoring the file that the backup software created. The Backup software creates an EXE file. When you install it after a hard reset, some applications do not work and no programs are left in the Remove Programs area.
So does anyone backup their Windows Mobile smartphone? It seems like there really are no options.

try the suggested method I'd posted in the above link
that is really weird ... mine restored "EXACTLY" the point when I started the backup ... down to every tweaks ...etc
I went the "custom" method and also chose to included my SD card as well.
all keys changed in registry are exactly the same ... all programs works ... and within the "remove programs" area .. there is the whole list for me to uninstall ...etc
FYI ... I am using Sprite Backup version 5.2 for Smartphone.

Hi experts,
I used to do ROM backup/restore from my old HTC Typhoon to SD card through the r2sd command in the bootloader screen.
Is this possible for Excalibur?
PS: I have the HTC-branded S620.
you can use sprite to backup all of your settings and apps.
Thanks for your reply.
Is this the right link?
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
Does it really support ROM backup/restore (so can rollback to WM5 after WM6 flashing) or just user data/configuration/apps stuff ....
thats the link.
you can't make a back up of the rom. this has been posted many times.
the best thing to do is back up each rom's settings with sprite and keep a copy of the ruu. you can't load the ruu from the phone however.
Please help if you have an answer.
I have restored from a previous backup using version 6.2 of Sprite Backup and most programs including my beloved Spb mobile shell will not run.
I have tried to install also the two cab files that people use when upgrading to a new ROM (in my case is the same ROM): Signed_DisableSecurity as well as Unsigned_Version.sa but NONE of them will install.
MY DEVICE:
POLARIS (O2 ORBIT 2)
ROM 1.25.206.3 WWE
Thanks
Hi all, Did anyone try to restore the diamond with Spb backup 2.0 with the "rom upgrade" function? I've update my diamond from hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.34.831.1_52.24.25.08_0.93.25_Ship to hTC_Asia_WWE_1.37.707.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
But after I restore with spb, it's success but when I check the rom version in setting, everythings is upgrade but only the rom version is still 1.34.831.1, but the cht is change to wwe.
Did I just ignore it (coz I'm sure I'm successful upgrade b4 I restore the backup file)? Or my backup file restore everything??
Pls help I'm really no ideas..... Thank you so much!
any ideas?

You should not restore all the system data from your backup files as it will "overwrite" the system files in your upgraded rom and that is what it is happening and shows in your device info. You should only restore your PIM data, i.e. contacts, emails, messages, appts after an upgrade. You are lucky that the device is not corrupted and functioning OK.
To resolve this, do a hard reset to get back to your upgraded rom 1.37.7.0.1 (yes, it is still lying there in your device) and this time do a PIM restore only and everything will be fine! Cheers
Thanks and I know that..... just want to be lazy to to one step to restore all information and program, although I've choose the "rom upgrade" to restore, but still cannot make it. Only retore all the pim information and have to install all back about the program....
Anyway, thanks a lot!
so = it is not possible to restore all programs after rom upgrade at all??
I think so...... but did anyone try another backup program? like resco backup and also sprite backup? I remember those software have the rom upgrade things to choose, anyone tried?
mmm on Spb site there is
Control your data restoration!
* Can be restored after ROM upgrade (ROM upgrade mode)
* Can be restored on another device (device upgrade mode)
* Self-extracting executable backup files
* Selectable items to restore
* Separate text message (SMS) restoring
* The backup file can be explored with the desktop unpack tool

it could be very interesting restoring apps after upgrades...
Well, I've tried SPB Backup 2.0 ROM upgrade mode a few times (approx 4 times). I had no issues with that and I did not loose any information. Although I haven't checked version information like you. I've always forced ROM upgrade mode in options.
I can say that for quick testing new ROMs this method is a big help. But based on the advices of the experts you should build up your new environment from scratch if you decided which ROM to live along with. Cheers.
yes~ did run normally if restore with rom upgrade mode! but seems it's restore all back from the old file coz the rom details didn't change..... after hard reset then show back the new rom version. I guess it just restore all back from old rom I guess....
i've settled on using spb backup 2 for the PIM info (also restores photo contacts to TF3D), and Sashimi for programs/preferences... works pretty well and fast
what is "sashimi"?
SASHIMI is an app that can do automated installs of cab files, .reg files, and a whole bunch of other stuff to get your device back how you want it after a flash.
you can find the thread here
SASHIMI 6.5beta is out and I am interested in feedback from Diamond users.
I believe that the Auto Install to Storage Card will now work with Internal Storage.
I need Diamond users to test and confirm.
Post in the SASHIMI thread with any issues:

whats the best program to use to back up all my text messages and ring tones and contacts ?????
sprite backup or the backup utillity of sktools should work
PIM Backup is a free option available on XDA in the Dev and Hacking forum. Wont do ringtones but you can just copy them to comp via async, other options SKTools or for full backup SPB Backup or Sprite.
does sprite or spb do an image of your phone (i.e. all programs ,etc)? i'd really like to have that so i don't have to keep installing stuff after a rom release update.

I use SPB and yes it images the whole phone you can choose the locations etc, i will say you do not want to use a backup after a ROM update as all you are doing is reverting to the previous ROM as core files are replaced, the way backups really help is if you say install something and it screws up your setup or any other error, you can hard-reset and use your backup.
The way i make it eazy for install after a ROM update is have an install directory on your storage card then you can just blat the programs on, generally leave the programs that need to restart the system till last
