I apologise if this is in the wrong thread, but I recently converted my phone from Sense to Google Play Edition, backing up my phone via the HTC Sync Manager, and HTC Backup, and this is where my problem starts. When I tried to restore, I came to know that neither work on non-sense devices, and they are both backed up, so my question is, is there a way for me to find the backup file and somehow get it onto my GPE M8? So that I can get all of my old apps, pictures etc back onto my converted phone?
Thanks.
HTC Backup is for Sense only, it's not available for GPe

Yeah, tried this one and it doesn't have htc sense...any other thoughts?
Why don't you think it has sense? It is the basically the factory image.

It is basically a vanilla Cyan. It doesn't have the sense theme and/or any of the sense widgets. Basically I can deal without the widgets but I desperately need to be able to sync with my microsoft outlook. I used outlook religiously for all work info and need that info to be on my phone as well. The Sense operating system allowed this whenplugged through usb, you could download HTC Sync and it would sync up my outlook with my phone....Info in outlook needed: contacts, calendar, tasks....I've downloaded a calendar app which used gmail to sync and that's okay, (not great) but the main thing is my tasks and contacts now....
The one I pointed to brought my phone back to the way it was when I got the phone aside from being rooted still. It has all the original widgets that came with it.
I also sync my outlook calendar, contacts and email with it.
The only difference was that this image was still rooted and not set back to a true unrooted factory state. I'm really not sure why you are not seeing you phone back to the way it was when you walked out of the USCellular store the day you got it after restoring to this image.
Have you tried connecting con247 yet and see what he says about this?
I don't know either.....I will try and contact him and let you know...thanks for the help...
edit: I tried downloading it again and the same result. Boots up Cyan again. Does it matter if you use the free download link rather than purchasing the premium. Another thought: If I get a hold of another desire and root it and then do a back up of the Sense UI, could I just simply copy/paste the backup into my SD Card backup file and then restore that?
It sounds like you need to undo the cyan install somehow before you can run this.
I have not gone any further than a basic root to remove some apps so I am not too familiar with what all doing a cyan mod changes on the system.

I just need The Stock so the *22890 will program my phone, Im having a hard time finding it for some reason.
And why can you revert back the root? As I can see, you have stock rom, but only rooted. If it's working properly, it's no reason to unroot. Id you do it because of original HTC service, they can realize that you were rooted even if now you aren't.
Edit: But if you want to find Stock rom with no changes, try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Hi,
I am unable to restore my data from HTC backup (google drive).
I can start the restore, but it stalls at around 35% sometimes 35, 36 or 38%
I believe I have triet everything
- force close facebook apps (read it online)
- clear HTC backup data
- remove/add HTC account
- disable google recover
- Tried different ROMS, stock, ARHD 22.1, ARHD 11.2
I just chatted with HTC and they says that there's a general problem with restoring - I was kind of hoping someone here would be willing to test if they are able to restore?
Doesn't work past few weeks. It doesn't event work on my wife's HTC desire 610 and she's fully stock with locked boot loader. So yes its a general HTC problem.[emoji4]
I was having the same issue and just gave up on it. Used to work fine. I'm on lollipop now, but I think it was still stalling out when using 4.4.4 as well.
OK, Thanks for your input.
I just regret that I did not make a backup with MyBackup Pro instead of HTC Backup, it have just worked great the last few times I have used it

I just did a RUU back to stock and htc backup restored my stuff fine .. this was on Tuesday 11/18/14. It worked the same as it always has.
Interesting, do you use Google Drive or Dropbox as backup "server"?
Hi everyone,
i have a dilema with my htc one. I accidentally wiped all my photo album because i thought Titanium Backup did a backup or snapshot of everything plus i was under the impression google+ was also backing up the photos since the option was enabled but it didn't.
Now i need to enable UMS for my HTC One so that i can use a software called Active uneraser. The problem is that i need UMS for the software to see the phone. I already tried dr.fone but for some reason it couldnt find the most recent pics, only old ones and even then theres still a lot missing. I have a work colleague who used active uneraser in the past and was able to recover every files from his HDD that was formatted by mistake. The software does support android but i see that the HTC one doesnt support UMS.
Is there any way to enable it? TWRP? App? mod/hack etc? anything?
I am really desperate to get those pics back! :crying:
I have a question.
recently I was using in my m9 version 5.1 htc my account backup and restore.
after to update my m9 to version 6.0 account htc backup disappears. this is normal? or in version 6 disappear this excellent backup function htc account. and only work at the gmail account
I think htc backup was discontinued but you can only restore in marshmallow, you cannot create a backup.
Lucky for me i had setup my 115gb gdrive as my auto backup location..

Luckily for you, but I want to keep doing backup in my version 6 masmellow. since I format my htc frequently. and restoration of htc me worked wonders. if you upgrade to 6.0 is no longer the backup. what one could do an old restoration. gmail account and does not allow saving call history, accounts wifi. much less the sense settings 7 anyone knows if any rom cooked as revolution or viper. even follows the backup htc?
It is 6.0 across the board. No roms, no matter what they are, will fix it.
Backups will have to be done by a separate app.

Hello guys,
Prior OP3 I owned an HTC ONE E9 +. I made backup of contacts and stuff to my Htc backup account. Does anybody know how to make my OP3 to look like a HTC phone, in order to restore my stuff from my HTC account, please?
Thank you in advance!
When you first start the phone it ask you if you want to copy content from another phone.
Of cousre data, contacts, etc, NOT system.
This is not about phone to phone transfer... My Htc e9 is broken, they refunded me and now my backup is on htc servers, or Google Drive, I don't know. From htc servers, trough HTC BACKUP apk I want to restore my backup to my OP3. But, not being htc phone, I cannot connect it to my Htc account...
So, I need that my OP3 to have the signature "HTC ONE" in order to be recognized like htc and to be allowed to connect.
Hope you understand my issue.
Thanks

this isn't an HTC phone - there's no way to restore an HTC backup, and there's no way to get an HTC ROM on it so your HTC account will recognize it.
I hope your phone also was backed up with your google account.
Oh, not good news for me then... I have HTC sense installed, but no luck to get access to my account to download htc themes. I thought it is possible to change the signature of the phone, though...
But, if it's not possible, I will input manually all the contacts..
Thanks!
You may be able to edit the build prop.
But you need:
To be rooted I think
The HTC e9 info to change it to
Probably still will not work.
I need to check this idea... I have heard about editing the build... I will search this forum maybe I will find something.
?
Are the contacts not backed up to your Google account? If not can you export them from your HTC sense account in a more friendly format.
I cannot log in on my Htc sense account with this phone, this is my problem...
If your backup files are on Google drive you can directly download the files and restore the contacts unless HTC saves them in a non standard format.
Did you try the HTC Sync Manger or what is it called?

Contacts can be saved to youre Google account or to SD card. File has .vcf termination.

Try logging in to it from a desktop, or Chrome in desktop mode.
Even it is risky I think that I stick to the build prop edit... I read about it and I think it's possible... Others made it to download apk from Google Play... Not for OP3 but still...
Finally, after installing Htc Sense home 8 I was able to log in into my account and download my theme, icons, etc..
With Sense 7 I couldn't do it...
