I am going to be upgrading my HD7 to a Radar, and I was wondering if there is any way I can backup all of my data (game saves, sms messages, etc) and transfer them to my new phone.
I am a WP7 Developer, so I can have my phone Dev Unlocked, if that helps at all
Thanks everyone!
Not possible. Every backup is tied with a Windows Phone ID and it cannot be transferred.
Also please ask your future, non software development, questions here --> Windows Phone 7 Q&A
Thanks

Hi all,
I've been a member on XDA developers for a long time, had an XDA exec a long time ago, haven't had anything since though.
I've just got myself a HTC Mozart so I'm new to the windows phone scene. Just wondering what is the best way to upgrade to unlocked mango. I'm on OS 7004.
I've seen the [DFT Freedom ROM] Mango 7720 Custom ROM, don't know how to flash it though. Also came across this cellbull.com/download-windows-phone-7-5-mango-rom-for-htc-hd7/
Any help on how I would get unlocked mango on my device would be much appreciated.
Thanks for Looking.
You can upgrade directly to Mango using method described here. Keep in mind that it will destroy all data stored on your device. You can easily install apps later on by using your marketplace account. Just make sure to back up your PIM data before you proceed.
Thanks but I managed in the end.
my phone is interop locked, its an htc hd7 with mango update. im trying to backup a sms thread that has gone tooo long and can't be deleted.
is there a way to backitup while keep the phone interop unlocked?
i was able to make a complete phone backup as well from a zune like backup tool. does anyone know how to extract sms from zune backup?
This is a question, and belongs in the Q&A sub-forum.
That said, I don't know of any way to back up SMS without being interop-unlocked. The full-phone backups are encrypted and not usable for this purpose. The only other way I know of to back up SMS is to copy messages one at a time and save them somewhere, and that would be a lot of work in a thread as long as you say.
is there an easy method to get interop unlock on mango for hd7? i already tried the connection setup wizard using interop unlock as country but no luck.
i know the maxunsignedapp bit has to be changed.

Thanks to the advice I gathered from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960784
I was able to easily root my Note 2 with no issues. I immediately installed Titanium backup and froze a slew of bloatware. So far no problems. The fact my warranty is up on the phone, and I wanted to remove bloat, were my two start out reasons to root. I want to stop here for a bit though until I completely understand all the options available to me with a freshly rooted Note 2.
Besides freezing bloat, I also backed up all user apps and system data using Titanium backup. So I'm trying to visualize a recovery scenario. On my windows based desktop PC, I'm a heavy user of imaging software. I enjoy this because I can take risks with my system, and do software testing with a good safety net.
So with that said, here's a noob question that I apologize in advance for. Say I do a factory data/reset on my Note 2. Afterward, would I just restore my backup from TB and be right back where I was before? I know I'd have to re install TB first.
I'd like to test some custom roms but I want to better understand the recover process in case things go south.
Thanks!
Wow, now that I've done a days worth of research, that really was a noob question....sorry. I got TWRP custom recovery installed and my phone backed up. I even saved the TWRP folder to my storage drive on my PC for extra security.
Well, I successfully installed my first custom ROM but I didn't like it. So I used my original TWRP backup and recovered flawlessly. This is going to be fun.
I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader of my HTC One M8 without losing data. I've read HTCDev's route but that wipes the phone. I've gotten upto a point. I just need to unlock it. I've done all the identifier token stuff so I just need to unlock. If anyone has a method (free method) to unlock the bootloader without data loss, please tell me.
Can't be done.
Backup your data, then restore it after the bootloader unlock.
There are a variety of methods to backup data (Gmail to backup contacts, Helium app, copy to computer or SD, lots more), so there really is no excuse to be running around without your personal data backed up (if that is the case).
Data loss can happen anytime (not just unlocking the bootloader). And waiting for a disaster then asking "how do I recover my data" is not the right way to go about things.
Um, if you are willing to shell out $25 and go S-off, you can. In fact, Sunshine leaves your bootloader unlocked as part of the process.
Of course, this isn't free (you have to use Sunshine), and for some variants of the phone King Root is required (and a pain the backside) However, there is a way to do what you are asking.
However, I can't disagree with the idea that you should be making backups anyway, and since you already have a token, it's not like you are saving much at this point by not just unlocking the traditional way and restoring your backups.

I backed up my stuff and unlocked without problem. Problem now is HTC Sync doesn't want to talk to my phone. It gives me a popup saying "This device needs a newer verison of HTC Sync". Im on the latest version but nothing works. I also made an ADB Backup and am slowly resolving the apps it gets stuck on like Fitbit and "com.google.quicksearchbox"

About what you said, I made a backup and then had to restore my HTC M8 running Android 5. Of course I had recover my apps but not my pictures, they are in Google Photos now but not on my phone.

Not sure of the point of this post. Is there a question here? Or just sharing your personal experience?

The point is that despite making a backup using the Google account I wasn't able to recover my pictures from the memory card. Clearly I misunderstood the "backup concept" here.
Saying that you have two choices here: one of them is to tell me that there is a way (if there is) to recover my pictures from the phone which will become my post a question and myself a happy man. The other one is to leave the post as it is. In that case, it will be just a personal experience.

Yes, you misunderstood. Backing up using Google isn't going to save or allow you to recovery anything from the "memory card".

What do you mean by "memory card"? Do you mean internal memory, or the removable SD?
Howdy Everyone,
I'm a huge novice when it comes to playing around with android phones so please go easy on me. :cyclops:
Ok so had this phone about a month and it had a Google play error a few times. A quick reset and all was OK, until the last time where it ended up in a boot loop. :crying:
Numerous Web searches later I decided to use Xperia Companion to repair my phone. I had my phone back but my data was gone!
I'd hoped it would be relatively easy to get the data back or at least some of it, but no as it was then I realised that I would have to root my phone to even try.
Then I find out that if I unlock the bootloader that I would need to roll back to MM so that I could backup the TA Partion to save my DRM Keys.....
Ultimately I want to recover my photos (or at least attempt) and then return my phone to an unrooted state with my DRM keys back where they should be. :fingers-crossed:
So my question to the community is, can I use Xerpia Companion to make a backup of my phone at its factory state (pretty much as it is now), root the phone, attempt the recovery and the be able to return my phone to the state its currently in.. Including the TA partition?
Cheers in advance for any and all help.... :victory:

I don't have this device and there's a limited amount of threads regarding this topic but, the following thread is probably your best bet. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it too.
