8125: Complete upgrade and customization, or just upgrade??

Hello there,
Cingular 8125 owner,
Some one posted that we should reset the device right before the manufacturer customization settings start running.
What is the difference if at the end of a succesful installation, we copy the cab from the original extrom?
Aside from the bootup logo, and some small specific apps, some users are reporting that with the Qtek upgrade, Syype is being installed.
Thanks in advance for your reply to this matter.

your sig says you are running 2.17.7.2 so you already have the new rom. With this rom Skype does not get installed as it is not in the EXTRom. Imate's 2.16.9.1 has skype and someone could probably give it to you from there if you want it. The Qtek rom that you are using doesn't really have any cabs that are not useful. no bloat. But don't use Cingular's cabs after the upgrade.

Sprite Backup in ROM Upgrade Mode for Radio Upgrade

I've used Sprite Backup in ROM Upgrade mode for bumping from ROM 1.06 to 1.42 on my T-Mobile UK MDA -- just peachy. But I didn't do it for Radio upgrade from 1.13 to 1.15, and upon restore, had Restore with Errors -- some sharing violations, for things like CallID.dll and such.
I wonder, does it make sense to do a restore from my initial backup in ROM Upgrade mode, with the UpgradeData.sbu I created then, or it should be OK -- basically, do these sharing violations mean restore tried to overwrite the new stuff, but couldn't and left it alone?

I need an old rom

Hi guys I haven't time to install all my software again and I have a Sprite backup, but I need a copy of the 1.11.00 ROM to install ..... otherwise the restore from Sprite won't work (or so I understand).
The Rom I need is
1.11.00 WWE
01/27/05
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM v 1.11.162 WWE
The reaosn I'm going to have to re-install is that the camera has disappeared and some other odd things are happening.
If somone can point me to the right download I'd be very grateful
Mike

Hi, be sure to read the correct Sprite FAQ BEFORE you change your ROM as you will need to run the upgradedata util on the old ROM in order for a smooth restore to the different ROM

Backup existing ROM-Help needed

Hello,
Is there any proven method to backup the existing rom to a form of files like the Updated ROM (nk.nbf,RUU,etc.)?
I would like to preserve my original wm5 ROM since it contains Payed application i can't re-register.
After backing up-it will be WM6
Thanks
Roy

im looking for the same thing too
because i want to try out other roms but i have alot of stuff on my current phone
i know theres a utility that will backup to the minisd card and your able to back it up later
no luck yet
im still searching the forum and google though

No, for most backup applications, you can't restore a WM5 software backup to WM6 device, otherwise weird incompatibility will be happened (such as crashing Contacts)

Yes ! very true,there wud be a incompatibility issue,however if you backup your wm5 rom on a Sdcard,that is also only possible if you have a CID unlocked device,then in time of any emergency,you can reflash it back to your phone,through Sdcard method to restore it back in working condition,but all you applications or programs in wm5 cannot be restored back to wm6 OS.
Cheers

Thanks for you help,
my thoughts were to keep the original ROM for selling this device..

This is the way to make a copy of your current ROM of the Wizard to a SD card.
As stated above this does NOT include any application or data you add yourself to your Wizard but only those apps that comes along with the ROM in the first place.
This should be just fine to have a backup of your current WM5 but does not help to "preserve" any paid applications you installed yourself neither your contacts etc.
Good luck!

Sprite backup

i just flashed my Tilt from ATT wm6 to HTC wm6.1
I created a backup file on Sprite Backup. Now i want to restore it and it says that it can cause significant problems if i restore from a different ROM. And wants me to select a Device Upgrade File. Where do i find a Device Upgrade File?

You shouldn't do upgrades from ROM to ROM (especially if it's from 5 to 6 or 6 to 6.1). There's a whole new registry usually and a lot of different things. Just add the program files back and stuff like that, but not the registry. Better yet, reinstall everything manually.

Okay, darn. lol
Now Im learning.
Thanks

Just thought i'd share, the latest version of SPB backup does let you
restore after ROM upgrade (ROM upgrade mode) & also restore a backup on another device (device upgrade mode)

Warning: spb does not yet fully support WM6.1 for his Backup. With Kaiser (WM6.1) it does not work properly (lot of device hangs).

I Think its bricked
I when ahead and downloaded the new rom with WM6.1 for the ATT TILTfrom the HTC website and did everything to the bone and used sprite backup to backup my files but upon restoring them, my screen just boots through att logo and then shows the flying 3G symbols and then blank screen. I can get to the boot loader and but when I try to reflash my phone, using hard spl it says it cannot find my phone. I have spl 3.56 on my phone. Can anyone help me?

When you're in bootloader mode, just flash to the stock ROM and you should be fine.

Thanx all!
I just want to say thanx to everyone who responded and great thanx or asfoor for the wonderful solution for this problem which can be found here.....
