I am attempting to upgrade from a 2.x AKU to 3.x. I have read that backing up pim.vol will not work between versions. Is there another way to do this?
Got it using PIM Backup. Sorry for the dumb question

here it's pasted from the link...
///Should I do a restore from backup after I have upgraded my rom to a new version?
Short version N0
Long Version; If you restore a backup after a rom upgrade you are going to downgrade your software to what you had before the upgrade. Thus do a rom upgrade, sync your outlook, re-install your applications, re set your local settings.
Yes you can do it another way but at the momment you are reading BlueAngel For Beginners.///
Thank you, I did look there honest, but not well enough obviously
Hello All,
Got a question about using a restore options after upgrade to a new ROM im on the 2.17 T-Mobile custom rom now and was thinking about going to the 2.2 T-mobile custom rom. I haave both the sprite and spb backup, both work pretty well, my question is can I upgrade the rom and then restore from lets say sprite back up everything including registry and exluding windows directory, otherways its such a pain to go thru all the tweaks and reinstalls. Has anyone tried this ?
I tried Sprite 5.0 and it did not work. When the restore was completed the system went into a hard reset. So I reinstalled my apps using the method I described on my blog here.
Yeah I was reading your blog before, but I tought you were using a older version. I got so much stuff already on and so many tweaks, bookmarks etc... I dont know if its worth it with such a small upgrade no major bug fix no major features.....
I agree, if memory is not an issue then it probably makes sense to wait until an AKU 2.2 or better ROM is available.
Xelencin, how long until you can cook up a T-Mobile AKU 2.2 based ROM?
I created my own ROM using alex's kitchen tutorial and now no cab will install. When I try it says that it is unsuccessful every time.
Please help!!
Thanks!

recooked and now it works. I think the problem was that I tried to restore my personal files using sprite backup which claims it can restore to new roms. I just had to manually restore the ppc and now all works.
Running a 6.0 ROM, I can't create a new email account after I restore my Sprite backup file. When I click the two ways to do it, it doesn't work, just takes me to the default Outlook account.
My question is, is there some setting somewhere in the registry that enables or disables adding new accounts? The stock ROM works fine, but after I restore my backup, that is when I run into the problem so this tells me it is a setting or something that is preventing it.
I compared a 6.1 ROM to the 6.0 ROM and there seems to be several differences but nothing stands out as far as permissions (0 / 1) to add a new email account.
I uninstalled every application that might possibly have an effect on it and nothing worked.
tsk, tsk tsk... You tried restoring the Emails with sprite using update mode didn't you???
This will cause problems ALWAYS! I believe even their ducumentation says NOT to attempt restoring emails & accounts when updating roms or devices.
The email restoration is only for restoring on the same device with the same rom.

No. This restore is from a 6.0 stock ROM. Same ROM - Same restore.
I am NOT trying to restore a 6.0 backup to a 6.1 ROM or a 6.1 backup to a 6.0 ROM.
It is a stock ATT 6.0 ROM and a stock ATT 6.0 backup file.
I usually run Duttys 6.1 Hybrid V2 w/Cube ROM, but ofcourse like to try other cooked ROMs just to see what the other cooks are working on. My question is restoring after flashing back to my regular ROM and restoring via SPB Backup vs restoring by Sashimi (which I have not used yet) or just reinstall everything by hand (we all know that SUSKS). Which is the better way to restore? Is there anything bad about restoring via SPB backup after flash? Thanks, Kevin
Depending out you are trying to back up you shouldn't use a back up program to back up from one ROM to another ROM. The back up should only be with the same ROM some people do it but IMO it is a bad idea.
Look at using UC complaint ROMS and you pretty much make your ROM flash exactly the way you want it to. Here is a link that explains it.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I am NOT restoring to different ROM, only restoring to the same ROM that the BU is built from. I should probably study up on Sashimi a that way I can rebuild all my apps regardless of flashed ROM. Thanks for the reply and Link. Kevin
