Wizard backup utility

Can someone point me to a decent utility to backup my Cinguarl 8125 (i.e. Wiza100)? I read on one of the forums that the wizBackup.exe is a good file but I am not sure where to find it?
Thanks

wizbackup is a ROM backup/restore utility. Are you sure this is what you're looking for?
If you just want a regular backup utility (i.e. all your data, settings, etc.), look into one of these instead:
SPB Backup - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Sprite Backup - http://www.spritesoftware.com/pocketpc.php
Sunnysoft Backup Manager - http://www.sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=51

I do want wizBackup
Hi Guys,
I understand that wizBackup.exe only backs up the ROM, which is what I want to do. Can you post it here because I cannot find it on the site either?
Many thanks,

That is exactly what I want too
Someone please post it for us.
Thanks.

Can't find it on the site now but...
...I did download it from here a couple of weeks ago.
Enjoy :wink:

Thanks for the post
Thanks for finding the download for us.

so that will back up all my tweaks and everything also?

No you have to use SPB or one of the others

i dont know if it was just me but when i tried to use this wizbackup..
my mmc became corrupt and i think i had to flash my phone again...
had to reformat my sd

I was recently VERY disappointed with SPB backup. It backs up fine, but the restore doesn't work. It corrupts the e-mail database during the restore and requires me to basically hard-reset it again and reinstall my apps.
I'll try Sprite next.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don't use Wiz-backup, I used it to back up just a few minutes ago.
It wrote a backup file to my card, and then the software followed through some steps to use terminal software to copy the file off the card to my computer.
As soon as it begun copying to the card, I noticed I could not see the card under file explorer anymore. Either from my pc or the 8125.
My 2 gb mini-sd card is now un-readable.
I have downloaded a software called SPtaskmanager which would normally be able to reformat the card, right from the 8125. This software does not even recognize a card is in the slot, and the card does not show up in the 8125 file explorer or anywhere else I can see.
I don't have a card reader, that is the only thing left I know I can try, unless somebody knows some steps from a terminal software to take?!
NOT HAPPY!

I believe i had to reformat the card through a card reader on windows.. i had the same problem

OK so there IS HOPE.
Thank you!
/eagerly awaiting arrival of card reader

Why?
Why does this ROM backup prog. corrupt the Mini SD Card? I have a similar card. And also is it worth backing up the ROM? Because from what I have read one can't really downgrade the ROM once upgraded, so what's the use of backing it up anyways...

I don't think that ROM backup programs actually store the data in a directory & file layout, they just dump the whole ROM data block onto the card sequentially, which would indeed wipe out any existing directory structure. I'd have thought a ROM backup/restore utility would have to run at a very low OS level, without any file handling routines installed.

Flash disk now useless.....or is it? Help
I also used WizBackup and I am now left with a corrupt flash MiniSD card that no computer seems to be able to read or format. Does anyone know a way to reformat the card now that i have given it total amnesia??? Any help would be greatfully accepted. Sandisk was useless.
Thanks.

Can one backup Rom to PC and restore from PC if one doesnt have SD Card??
Thanks

As Andrew posted, it writes the data onto the card directly.. Like an image of the ROM. To properly recover your card your gonna need a card reader and a tool to format it. Try this software to recover and reformat the card... http://www.datadoctor.in/
Good Luck

Don't get it..?
First you back up your ROM on a your card, then if it gets corrupt (but it does mostly) you reformat it! What was the point of backing up? Isnt't the data lost..? :roll:

I think people are getting confused with the backup util. That util should be used with a 128meg SD which the systems backup the rom image to. Then you can use that card for later restores. But using a 2gig SD with your personal data on it is a no no, since the backup tool will write to the card without regard for format.

MiniSD will not run programs..or anything else!

Hey all, i know there are many miniSD problem threads, but i wasnt able to find this particular one...
I just got a PQI 2GB miniSD, i formated it with SKTools, and started installing some programs...installs go fine, but when i try to run the programs, it says that its not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. i get that msg with all the programs i install...and nothing works on it!!!

Use file explorer to see if you can browse the card. The error you have seen usually mean that the device is unable to read the card. You will need to reformat the card again. I usually do it in my laptop using a card reader.

i can browse it...it gets detected with the right amount of size and everything...my preveious card was a 256 MB and it was always good...

Copy everything in the card to your computer. Reformat the card but using your computer this time. Copy everything back to the card.

ive tried that too!! still nothing...

In that case I am running out of idea I am using the same PQI and have no problem with my Wizard. You probably get a defective card. Maybe it's time to page the vendor for a replacement card.

Usually if you just format it in via the computer, it should work. Try formatting it twice in succession and if it still does not work, you might have a defective card like imisim said above.

Guys, stop confusing...
It has nothing to do with a memory card.
And you Malik use search next time!

It has everything to do with the memory card because the solution you have posted won't work and doesn't apply to the OP. The solution only apply to a few applications which doesn't have the "sign-code/certificate". After you have signed the code and it will work for those apps.
The OP problem is that none of the installed programs will work, not just one or two none signing certificate (BTW, most of the none signing apps are usually warez/cracked ) The OP problems are mostly due to the memory card itself.

File Corruption on MINI SD CARD

back then i have always been getting file corruption on my sd card and i have read up a lot on it but nothing really works. After i switched to Open Touch v3.0 it was fine until yesterday my sd card got corrupted again and i lost a lot of pictures.. Anyone have any solution?

sounds like you have a bad micro sd card. Corruption was common problem with the stock T-Mobile rom but not usually a problem with other roms.
Maybe you can take it out and format it. Hard Reset the phone and try it again.
You can format your card with Windows and that should work fine. Also I've had this program for awhile which is supposed to be far superior to any other program for formatting Micro SD Cards, but I've never used it. Here it is if you'd like it.

any special way to format it or should i just right click and then format?

It might be best to take the card out of the phone. Put it in a card reader and format it on your PC, then put it back in the phone. Making sure you hear it Click in.

I think there are some possible reasons causing troubles like this.
- Files where not cleanly closed at poweroff.
Alway make sure, all programms and applications are terminated before you shut down.
- Incompatible SD-Card
Always refrain from cheap and/or unbranded Cards. I use a Toshiba 2GB SDCard. Never had any problems. Even with the orginal stock ROM with WM5.
- defective SD-Card
Kinda hard to detect if you have just one card. Plug the SDCard into your PC and do a "surfacescan" on the virtual Drive.
- unstable SD-Card connectors
Try to clean the connection-pads on the card and inside your device with a small brush or paper tissue. Never use any other fluits than water to clean connection-pads on the card and just a little drop of it. Make sure everything is dry before you turn your device back on or some parts could get seriously damaged!
I think its also a good advice to see your SD-Card and Systemmemory as a very unsafe and unstable place for critical data. Always do backups as often as you can.
Sorry, for my bad english. Its late and I already had some drinks PLUS I am not very used to speak english anymore..

Thanks for your help don't worry about the english, i still understand you and thats all that matters. i am using Sandisk 2gb.
BTW, zcink
the file you gave me doesn't work, it doesn't even let me extract it

Don't install any programs that may be running at any given time on your SD card. If you have a program running (that's installed on the SD card) and you phone hibernates/shuts down after not being used ... will cause SD corruption.
Nothing with a Today plugin that you use ... nothing that you may accidently leave running.

You are right. It was not zipped right. I took it down. Zipped it correctly, tested it and reuploaded it. The one thats there now is the new one. This is supposed to be Professional software. The guy I got it from said it was the Best thing on the Market. I had never used it before, but I tested it today and it works fine.
Cheers!

Mine corrupted too
Hi, just few minutes back I was trying to copy some files from external harddisk to my wing's stock supplied Sandisk 1 gb memory card and looks like it got corrupted. All I see is some junk characters and boxes as file name. I lost all my (memorable)photos and softwares . I was trying to copy directly from my external disk to phones storage card and I am not sure whether this caused this issue. I have Open touch 2.7 biggy.
I have two questions.
a. Where does active sync stores all the files, contacts, calendar entries in computer (the directory path). I tried searching in the computer but could not find it.
b. Does active sync saves my storage cards file too? I dont believe so. Is there a way to ask active sync to backup files from SD card too?
Thanks in advance

Sorry to read of your 'possible' loss. There are freeware programs out there that attempt file recovery on flash memory drives but when a similar thing happened to me out of the blue, I couldn't find one that worked well with my Sandisk 6 GB MicroSDHC and all I got were 'bits and pieces' of the files that were once there. Perhaps someone else has had a good experience of recovery software that worked well in this situation?
After you recover what you can of your files, before using the memory card again, I suggest you wipe/zero fill it to completely remove all data from it and then partition/reformat it. Sandisk offer a utility to do this but they expect you to pay for it so having lost my files on their memory card they then add salt to the wound expecting payment for a tool used in the process to get things back to normal again, what a cheek
I complained to them, mentioning that most hard disk drive manufacturers provide such a tool for free but they don't seem keen to do that. Instead I used the free HDD Wipe Tool at hddguru.com and then Win XPs own disk management function to partition and format it back to FAT32.
This is an important lesson for anyone else reading with a TyTN II - if you have anything of importance on your TyTN IIs microSD card, ensure it is backed up because there are now quite a few cases here on xda-dev like this. Personally I use Win XPs own backup utility in conjunction with the USB card reader, once I've put all my music/maps etc on the card. It's quick, simple and most importantly, free. Since I lost some (but not many) of my files on the first occasion, I've even needed to restore from backup once so don't count on your files staying there as they should.

try file scavenger 2.1 it worked well for me
good luck

Strangest bug after reflashing 1.59 roms - please help

I am a serial flasher(!). Up until yesterday my latest ROM was dutty 3.3. All was working fine.
I flashed 3.4 (running BLAC_USPL.EXE) the storage card way, putting the storage card in once I was in bootloader mode etc. ROM loaded fine, but ever since then, manilla wont recognizre my photos, and is giving me a hard time on music.
In addition, without the storage card inserted, device runs MUCH faster than when it is inserted. i thought it was a problem with the 16Gig card, so I reformatted it and reloaded my data (which I can see on file explorer). SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow.
I tried 3 other ROMS, including going back to Dutty 3.3. SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow
I tried another storage card, this time a 6gb wich has always been flawless. formatted once on the device. formatted anpther time on a PC. SAME problem: Manilla wont load pictures and device slow.
Im going crazy. Can anyone offer some advice?

i don't know if the File System can make any differance, but try multiple types, format it once in FAT32 and test, then NTFS and Test.
maybe one of them is slow!
let us know how it goes
cheers

OK will try. thing is that the machine just gets slower and slower, as if some major process is running in the background. Ideas?

..and its a problem that never occured in the past.

I know it's a long shot but has any "crud" built up in the microsd card slot. If you've eliminated the sd card it's self and everything is fine without the card sound sounds like it's the slot it's self.

had same problem, reformating complately SD card helped me, try formating it again dont use quick format option.
hope that's gonna help you.
cheers

i figured it may possibly be a corrupt file in my DCIM (pictures) folder which stopped manilla reading the folder and kept it busy scanning the folder (hence machine slowwwwwwwwwwwdown), so renamed it, and the problem has gone. Odd, as I can read all the pictures on my PC.
thnaks for all comments

Did i miss somting, you say this is due to a 1.59 rom, only one i know of is CHT and based on your contry I don't see a match, do you have a 1.59 WWE rom

as opposed to the SD method? It may be that entering the card during the process (as outlined by Dutty et al) can cause other files to get corrupted...?

try hard reset after rom flashing.
