I bought an MDA III (T-Mobile Austria version).
As I wanted to use the blackberry software, I updated it with the software, available through t-mobile.de web page.
before that; I made a full backup with the activ snyc software.
After the upgrade, I wanted to restore my old setting by using the backup, but it didn't work dutr to the following failure:
"the backup has been made for a different device type"
do you know what to do? cause I have of cause also lost my whole austrian GPRS settings
cheers JJ

Greetings,
Ive just upgraded to the latest xcelencin ROM without issue.
When I attempted to restore (using SPB) from the backup taken just before the ROM upgrade SPB complained that the restore was not responding, so I cancelled it.
Now the machine will not boot past the Windows Mobile 5 splash (afer the Tmobile splash).
Any ideas?
Thanks
if it gets to the win mobile screen, u can probably re flash it. should work then.
Did the same on mine , had to hard reset using comms manager and voice dial buttons and reset button. think it was caused by using spb backup after changing rom.
Guys and gals, NEVER restore with Spb backup (or, for that matter, ANY backup app unless it's called Sprite Backup) after an OS upgrade!!!!
Read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info on all this (you may want to search for (Ctrl-F) "device upgrade" to find the relevant info ASAP.)
had the same exact problem - upgraded from xelencin's 2.24 rom to the 2.26 rom - and tried a restore - no go - had to hard reset and start from scratch
I will probably deserve a flaming for these questions but i have searched and have read the wiki as completely as i can.(i have reading large amounts of info problems)
trying to upgrade my original BA wm2003 (upgraded to WM5 from this website months ago) to the latest helmi rom.
i have lost my original device data note i was sure i backed up.
1. cannot understand the proceedure for changing the operator info from command window with setoperator??
2. seems to be a program left out cusTSK it wont transfer the normal way and says beacause it is read only **edit now ok because i copied directly to SD card using card reader.**
3. i have tried to put the device into bootloader screen but then activesync is not active and i get a connection error.
4. when i try to flash with BAupgrade i get a error 100: model ID error but i cant find any descriptions of what to do next on google or these forums.
i have read the readme's several times and i just cant see where im going wrong.
this is about the 5th hour of trying and i think my head is going to explode.
so if you have time to explain/flame(dont hold back either) me where im going wrong, i will be very grateful.
How to set operator - revised edition (by me )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291426
ok thanks for that.
i am assuming this is a nesscessary proceedure to complete or the upgrade wont work at all?
and it doesnt make sense but i need to know,
if the device came as a MDAIII from T mobile i need to set the operator to the t-mobile code?
or
now i previously unlocked the PDA to any network but i use orange, i need to set it to the orange operator code?
ok i have flashed the rom ok please no need to post solution.
Hi All,
First of all I hope I'm at the right place as this is my first post and I'm new to PDA's worlds. I just bought a HTC Kaiser and tried to install the spb GRPS monitor which was included on the CD. The installation said:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
I had 1.82.707.0 WWE ROM and yesterday I upgraded it to 3.28.405.0 WWE. Both the original and the updated ROM cause the same error when I try to install this program. I thought the PDA come from the manufacturer with the original ROM and the shops doing maximum a language install to the current country. It seems they modified something on the ROM? Can I install somehow this legal software (without cracking it and which will not be a trial version software)?
thanks
Seems quite weird. Try going to SPB's site and downloading the latest version from there, and use the registration number you received to register the software.
There is also a program called BatteryStatus, which is freeware (use google to search you'll find it right away), which does sort of the same thing.
I use to use SPB GRPS Monitor, and never ran into this issue.
Where did you get the CD from that has the software anyway? I am pretty sure HTC wouldn't include a 3rd party software on a CD if you got the phone from them, or if it was new in box. The version you have might be really old and you may need to purchase the latest version anway.
Hope that helps.
go to spb software house website and download the update exe/cab file
try it and let us know if it works or no?

apologies i did not read zakhir suggestion we both propose same solution

I got an original new HTC box which included the CD (it seems original HTC as it contains HTC logo copyrights etc... and I think the box original as I got an original HTC varranty card with the device). May be it's an old version and may but I think it will not be a trial SW. I hope as it is a good program But may be not. I can't remember if there is any S/N for the SW and I'm at work atm. I'll check it later.
jahrami:
Thank you for the advice! Actually (in a fast search) I couldn't be fount update for GPRS monitor (as I said I'm at work atm so it was a really fast search). I'll search later again when I will be home. Anyway if I remember correctly somewhere on spb's webpage I read something about upgrade a product (not the GPRS monitor) and the upgrader should it purchase again. (?) Not sure... I'll chack this option later so I just wanted to do some reaction for your post
Thank again the advices!
best regards!
Now that the official Orange rom is out, I want to upgrade.
I'm no stranger to upgrading (I flashed my old tytn quite a lot), but I always hated having to set everything up again.
I know it will only take a couple of hours, but I'm lazy!
I use sprite backup to backup everything to the internal storage, and I know sprite has a 'rom upgrade' feature. As I'm only planning on upgrading the stock 1.37 to 1.93, I'd like to know how safe restoring the sprite backup over the top will be.
I assume that the way it works is that files changed in a rom upgrade (for example the camera app) aren't writable from within the device, so sprite will just ignore these. This way all my normal apps will work fine and new versions of updated apps which are part of the rom will be ok.
Has anyone actually tried this and got any comments? Should registry tweaks stick (ie enabling gps photo, fixing the phone call screen blanking etc..)?
Sprite has three restore modes - i cant remember what they all do exactly but it is something like
1. ignore that it is a ROM update
2. Think of it as an update to a newer version of a similar ROM
3. Think of it as a totally different ROM
One of them should work but either way you will have a back up of you texts, email, diary etc. and worst case your can install all your apps/tweaks again.
btw. where did you find the official orange update?
Cheers, I've seen the options but I'm always skeptical about something like that actually working!
You can find info about the official rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426120
(plus a link to download it directly from orange).
I think I'll just make a list of my installed apps, use pimbackup (as well as sprite) to back up the pim databases, and give it a go.
Worst case scenario is that it takes a while to get everything installed again (although if this is the case I might go for an unofficial rom)
sprite works better than pimbackup
Hi guys,
first of all, thank you for this awesome forum. I've been a frequent visitor in this forum and I've already found a lot of useful tips but now I need your help because I don't know what to do anymore.
First of all a brief explanation: I'm using a Kaiser (German Vodafone branding). My old device has been replaced by Vodafone due to a hardware defect. Vodafone gave me completely new device with the following data:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof
CE OS 5.2.19122 (Build 19122.1.0.3)
ROM-Version: 3.28.162.2 GER (this is the latest version)
I used exactly the same version on my old device and the program mentioned above Go Suite v. 0.91 does not work with my new Kaiser anymore, however it worked great with my old device. Go Suite requires two further programmes in order to run:
Go Suite v.0.91 (GoSuite.ARMV4.cab - can be downloaded here
netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab
PocketGnuGo.ARMV4.cab (also downloadable on the same website)
I followed the installation manual step by step but it still doesn't work. I've tried everything possible to get the software started. However, this was the first program I installed on my Kaiser (well, I tried).
If you need further information feel free to ask me. Neither Go Suite nor Windows show any error reports, only the launching symbol shows up for a couple of seconds after clicking on the icon.
I'm sorry that I can't give you more detailled information about the error. Is there any tool or a possibility to get to read the Windows error report? If you know one, just let me know where to get it and I'll deliver further details.
I hope you can help me - I'm sort of desperate since I really need this programme and I don't know what to do.
Thank you!
Harald
