UPGRADING PDA2K..CAN BACKUP DATA BE RESTORED?

HI,
I HAVE A PRESENT ROM VERSION: 1.22.00WWE FOR MY PDA2K..
AND AM GOING TO UPGRADE THE WHOLE PHONE WITH 1.40WWE...
I HAVE TAKEN A COMPLETE BACK UP ON MY SD CARD(XBACKUP). MY ONLY DOUBT IS ONCE I DO THE UPGRADE..CAN I RESTORE MY BACKED DATA FROM XBACKUP OR NOT? PLS HELP..IF NOT I HAVE A LONG PROCESS TO GO BY BACKING UP EVERYSINGLE BIT SEPERATELY.
REGARDS

FYI, based on what I have experience with the 1.40.00WWE ROM, if using xBackup, the data can be restored completely, HOWEVER, for some strange reason, the camera will not work. I did this upgrade sometime back and and had to re-install every application I had once the flash was complete just to get the camera to work.

Same experience
I had the exact same experience with my PDA2K. Everything restores and works great, except the camera. It gives an error when you start it. Since I never use the camera, I just left it as-is so I have no camera.

Restoring from a backup after a ROM upgrade is possible, however it is highly NOT recommended.

I have recently been successful in using Sprite Backup to perform a complete backup of all applications without any camera issues. This seems like the safest method to go following a hard reset.
Hope this helps.

after i use sprite back up. i cant receive text message.

HELP . I was updating the ROM of my QTEK 9090 and during the procedure the SYSTEM of CLIENT froze and I had to interrupt the updating.
Now I have on the screen of the QTEK a "USB - V2. 07" line and the QTEK doesn't react to any imput.
I tried also the soft reset and the hard reset (soft reset + ON/OFF button ?)
What can I do?

i actually just recently tried to restore my device after doing an EXT ROM upgrade and in brought my EXT ROM back to the original one that i had before.....which if you think about it makes sense since your extended rom is within the windows file system if you restore from a back up it puts back whatever was in that file before....so, thats probably why some things won't work properly....i decided not to do the upgrade agian cuz i don't have the time to reinstall everything at the moment....cheers....

The SMS bug is caused by Sprite Backup. If you use an old version after a hard reset of the PPC, you will loose the SMS function.
Solution:
Get the latest Sprite Backup and backup using that and than hard reset the PCC, upgrade the ROM en restore all data.
But I guess it is too late now...

Is my Wizard a brick after upgrade and attempted SPB restore

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

Wish I had a better answer for you, but when upgrading a ROM, assuming that you've upgraded from WM6.0 to WM6.1, it is not recommended to restore backups or problems such as what you've encountered *WILL* occur.
You will just need to install everything from scratch. Try out Tiermann's TierAutoinstall, Bengalih's SASHIMI or Sleuth255's User Customization for semi-automated installation. Search for it and you will find it!

I was try many software for backup whit my HTC TyTN II whit WM 6.1 like Sprite backup, HTC backup, SPB Backup and another cant remenber.
The only one work fine is the Resco Backup software.

Downgrade back to your original ROM, restore your backup and then sync your PDA with your computer so that your contacts are stored there. Copy off anything else before upgrading back to WM6.1. Once WM6.1 is on, sync with your computer again and contacts, emails, etc will be synced to your PDA. Then start re-installing your apps.
Long and tedious process unfortunately...

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)
here's the link: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Cheers.

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.....

Problem with TouchFlo 3D

Hi,
i've already try to search for my problem but i didn't found any response.
After the install of the new rom and the restore of the backup (by SPB Backup) the touchflo 3d is not be able to run.
The message "touch the screen to boot touchflo 3d" will appear, if i touch the screen it try to start but after it return to the message of touch the screen.
Somebody knows what i can do?
PS: sorry for my english

did u do a hard reset after flashing the ROM?
if you did, then i would suggest re-flashing the ROM, and check it works before restoring data.

i've trying many combinations...
Re-flash and restore nothing
hard reset and restore nothing
re-flash, hard reset and restore nothing
It work fine only if i don't restore the system data... but when i flash this rom i've used the same backup file and it works fine!
However i've trying to restore (after re-flash or hardreset or both) a old backup file... nothing!
i think that If i found the way to reinstall only the touchflo 3d, i can resolve my problem... but i don't found anything about!

iv had a similar problem i applied my backup disabled tf3d and applied a tf3d.cab found somwhere in this forum cant remember which version might not been on here at all. it was nearly 3 months ago. good luck
