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!

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

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.....

Dont restore the databases.
i used SPB Backup 1.6.1 and HTC WM 6.1..all fine, nothing happen, and still using it til now..
I tried to backup running from my TyTN II with Leo and Hyperdragon IIm latest rom but it will freeze. When I tried running from desktop, I managed to backup for Hyperdragon IIm but have not tried on Leo's latest Diamond V6 rom.
When I had the latest WWE shipping rom, it runs without any problem. Could even do a restore.
I havne't had any issue with SPB's latest backup software. ROM in sig but I guess it's a 6.1 hybrid
no problems here with the new 2.0 version.
i'm using the official 6.1 htc rom and everything works like it should be
Use Sprite Backup instead.
Hello,
I also had problems with my official HTC WM6.1 ROM, someone has reported the problem in the SPB Forum, so it's seems to be an issue with WM6.1..
I found the Sprite Backup 6.2 Program in e-Club HTC, installed and It works quite well...
See this post:

I had a problem restoring a backup I created on UDK WM6.1 to L26 WM6.1. It would crash when I tried to do the restore.
I've found that if I use the latest SPB Backup 2.0 I can now do the restore.
I load it up
choose 'restore backup'
choose your backup .exe file
customise the restore
go to 'options'
untick 'stop processes' and 'create log files'
This may help when creating backups. I think the 'stop processes' bit is the key. I think SPB backup is trying to stop some system processes and can't so hangs.
Hope this helps.

I was haved the same problem. After try many, many software backup the only one work fine was Resco backup v 1.20 (but isn't best than SPB Backup).
I have the same problem.What can I do?
Same problem here: Spb freezes 90% of times during backup.
re:
For me, version 2.0 working great...
Oh, so I'm not the only one...
I already signalled this in Leo's V6 thread (I believe, the guy is spewing new ROMs faster than I can press F5...); my SPB Bkp 1.6.3 PL (don't remember the exact build #) hangs right after pressing the button. I was told that unchecking "close all processes" should do the trick as the program apparently tries to close itself... Duh. If it does that, it's dumber than a box of hammers.
However, I could not be arsed because I have tried Resco Backup 1.20 since and found that it worked great. Very fast, too. WAY faster than SPB 1.6.
Resco may not be as sexy as the new SPB 2.0, but hey, it's a backup program for crying out loud, it can have a text console for all I care Besides, it's really quite nice and easy on the eyes.
I have a tilt with the built-in spirit backup. I tried to use it but when I did the restore after updating the rom, alot of the programs wasn't restored properly or registry info was changed back to befault. I thought Spirit was supposed to restore everything after a hardrest or a rom upgrade? Did I do it wrong or something? Because of this, my computers all want to resync all the contacts and everything all over again, which is a pain as it takes hours to resync(thats another issue, but not related to this)
Hard-reset. Yes.
Rom upgrade. No.
And the built-in sprite backup was a trial. Did you buy it? If not you're screwed. Sorry man.
Sprite is retarded in a lot of ways. You should start using PIMBackup and -UC-.
Kraize
I used the one that came with the Tilt. Ok, so what I seen already, I got screwed. What program is good to do a complete backup, where I won't need to resync(where it thinks its a whole new phone) with my activesync after the restore?

The full version of Sprite is by far the best backup utility out there. SPB Back Up would come in a close second.
Sprite (full version) has an option for retoring to an "upgraded" rom. But my opinion is, if I change the rom all together (not just a hard reset) I am manually loading all my programs.
Test both extensively before purchase.
spirit backup says i don't have enough memory on my card but i have almost a gig empty. this just started. please help
by the way, this happens when i try to backup . thanks
Edit: We now have a whole Q&A Forum...
Ok theres something I've been wonderin, it might be a toddler question but what are the guidelines for full Backup/Restore from one ROM to another (with same rom/sense build)? (using SPBbackup, RescoBackup, or SKtools)
And when I know I can't do a FULL restore what can I restore? (ex: Dutty r15 23569 --> Nhathoa 23123) prob not registry, but what about sys files?
Or if its just a different version of the same rom.. for example --
-- Full backup Energy Cookie Dinik 23569 (july2) -> Full restore after flashing Energy Sense2.5 standard. (and lets say I skinned a few things and installed apps like cleanRAM, IconChanger, Opera 10.. before the backup) -- Would it work?
Thanks.

Basically,the only clean restore would be the same ROM to the same ROM, minus PIM data.
Let's say you're running Dutty HG15 23569 and he releases HG 16 23569 with fixes, whether registry, programs whatever, you would end up restoring over the changes.
With Manila, even if you back up your own ROM and restore, its not a good idea to restore your PIM data back to Manila as its been known to cause it to crash. However PIM backup works well for this.
I'm not saying it 'won't' work, but it 'can' cause issues.
I see.. Thanks!
So when restoring a backup from HG r15 to r16 like u said, besides PIMbackup, would any of these options be safe to restore
-databases
-registry
-system files
-device
-force rom upgrade (im not even exactly sure what this action does, just an option in SPB)
-Also Settings exporter from the same CHT ver.
Thanks for the help!
Use pim backup!!!
you better off using PIM backup and you wont screw it up...Use mortscript to create a script to install the files you need on first boot...(XDA-UC is written in Mortscript.). Just make .reg files, .cabs and what ever else you need , edit XDA-UC to your needs and you are ready to go!

Force upgrade is for different ROM builds. I wouldn't use it.
I use a combination depending on what I am restoring.
For same ROM restoring, I use SPB Backup with PIM disabled, and Google sync (gmail as exchange server) for contacts, e-mail and calendar.
For different ROMs, I only restore Gmail, my exported registries such as my sound settings, owner info, and various other tweaks I apply and databases.
Naturally any program specific settings would be fine.
As far as registries and system files, you could be restoring something that's incompatible or an older version.
Sashimi and User Config are 2 alternatives for auto installing your stuff.
Hope this helps.
Yeah I use XDA_UC with very few configs cuz I'm never sure if certain stuff will restore correctly. I seem to have trouble with settings exporter.
How do I restore specific program configs (bsbtweaks, advanced config, Tabs) without using the UC exporter or a full restore? Can I do it with SPB?
Because I like UC but just for CABs and PIMrestore (sometimes CHTedits)..
Sorry for all the Q's, I've been flashin a lot lately and always end up doin manual config labor and soft reseting a million times. But thanks a lot for the help!
I should note that the reason I don't use the Exporter is because I used it a bit before and when I would import the settings the bottom row of quicklinks would be all mangled and everything seemed glitchy. does this mean I was doing something wrong? I'm not sure but I think I remember NRGZ28 mentioning something in the changelog about an update/fix for UC so maybe I just need to try again.
How can I tell which Hard SPL / Factory SPL I have?
Hi All,
I have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks and I really want to flash my AT&T Pure with a new TOPAZ ROM. However, I got a second hand PURE and I don't know if they have done any modifications yet.
How can I tell which version or if they did change the stock SPL? Also, if there was a fail during the upgrade of the SPL would it still show the version and the phone still be functional?
This is what the bootloader screen says:
TOPAZ210 32M
SPL-1.83.0000
MicroP-Topaz (LED) v11
Turbo HW/Turbo SW
Thanks in advance!

It should say
SPL-2.51.OliNex or 1.83.OliNex
And it depends on the error you encountered. Did you try the upgrade already?
Thanks for looking into this. Well, I tried once to do upgrade (before checking what SPL version I had) and I got everything, but then the screen just showed 0%. I waited for a little bit, but then I just soft reset because it wasn't progressing. It shouldn't take that long, right? From the thread on the Olinex post, it seems like it should be over in a minute or so.
So does this mean I still have the stock spl?

Possibly, I just upgraded the latest version right when I got the device. I did have a bit of trouble with my upgrade though. Did you follow the steps exactly?
I ended up having to install a cab file (enablerapinew). Then it worked fine.
You can always try removing the battery/SD/SIM for a min or 2, put em back in, establish connection, then follow the steps.
Otherwise you should read the troubleshooting and Q&A.
SPL-1.83.0000 is the stock SPL I'm pretty sure by the way

I tried again following their "automatic flash" but then I got the error of the server being down or something. I will try again. I have flashed ROMs on other phones, but this one is giving me a bit of a problem. I also tried the Manual version, but it didn't put the phone in the bootloader mode, it kinda just stood there.
So you followed the directions like they posted? Any other hints or tips? I installed the enablerapinew too.
EDIT:
I figured it out, I am such an idiot. Thanks for your help. After installing the enable I did a soft reset. That was what I did not do. Thanks. Any recommendation on a stable ROM? I am looking at Nhathoa's
Nice, yeah NhatHoa is good. I've been using the Energy ROMs.. close-to-stock and fully loaded versions available.

I'm not finding link for how to take an htc pure with AT&T rom and install Tom Topaz Rom. Looking for link for instructions. Right now it has the AT&T rom and I don't know how to take the file and apply it to the phone. The AT&T provided rom is an .exe file.

Can't get sms dialog to automatically rotate to landscape mode
Hmm, I'm still not sure if this is the right thread to ask a general, non-rom-development topaz question... It says so in the first post, but the thread is located in the rom development section - strange...
Anyway, I'll try: I'm using the latest cookie sense 2.5 energy rom for my diamond2, but the problem existed on all previous (energy) rom versions - whatever I try to add to the touch tools' rotation manager (or g-config), I can't get the sms writing dialog (htc "threaded" or "normal" version) to automatically rotate to landscape mode when I turn my phone. Nothing happens... I have a default hard button assigned for doing that and that works flawlessly. Other apps added to g-config rotate automatically...
I'm desperate, anyone willing to help? Is there some setting I have to enable or some registry tweak to apply or something? I searched the forum but users don't seem to have any problems with that, so I must be doing something wrong...
Thanks!
