Thinking of doing hard reset - backing up settings - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Was firstly thinking of doing the 6.1 upgrade to my HTC branded TyTN 2 on T-Mobile. But after noticing they are still supplying 6 I am now just going to do a hard reset, I've had the device for about 15 months now.
Is it easy to backup the Favorites on TomTom6? I will export my settings from FoneAlarm but is there anything else I should do? I will re apply the patches and reload the latest Skype.
The reason for the hard reset is that I often get the "wait" symbol appear and have to reboot cos it slows right down. Also just to clear down any junk.
Cheers,
James

Use any of the reputed backup programs for WM like sprite, spb or PIM backup. It should back up all your data for restore at a later point or on another rom. Download the one that works for you.

If you're only going to back up contacts , sms, emails , calender, then PimBackup is great and easy to use , as is Sprite Back up.
As long as you are cleaning up you're phone for better performance, look at all the custom 6.1 roms available . Better performance, 6.1 and the support of the chefs. Everything T- Mobile couldn't give you.

Can't be easier: copy the MapSettings.cfg from your maps folder. This file stores all your favorites, home address, and recent destinations. I have version 7, but I think it is the same in 6. If not, it is going to be in TomTom's (the program) folder.

What files to backup before a hard reset for Personal settin

What files do I need to backup before I hard reset so I dont have the 2-3 hours to set everything backup.
I like playing withit and trying new things but anm getting tired of trying to
put everything back the way I like it, some lesser used things take a wek or so before i stumble across them and fix them.
I am wanting to keep things like
Email settings and email I had saved
Owner Info
Device ID
Speed dial
Assigned ring tones
Font size
back light
IP Addresses for Wifi
Directory structure (moved a few lightly used itemd to a misc folder to clear up the programs directory)
Start menu items
Today screen
etc. (all I can think of now)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
This is something I wanna learn too :idea:
Just use a backup soft like Sprite Backup.
BUT THAT WILL RESTORE EVERYTHING LIKE i HAVE IT NOW.
i LIKE TO CHANGE THINGS BUT KEEP MY SETTINGS AND PREFERENCES THE SAME.
Sprite and Sbp Backup both allow you to only restore the PIM data etc.
...create fullbackup to save everything now with i.e. SQB Backup. Perform hard reset and prepare it like you want. Create backup.
Do you thingies and create incremental backups and save with i.e. name of changes. You can then always go back to earlier stages. I use it all the time.
If you need something what's not installed in your new backup then it's gonna cost ya 10 min. to get back in earlier stage...
Ok I did not know they did backups like that I will try it.
Hmm... very interested in this myself as I think I want to get rid of all O2 software (as much as I like O2 I believe their software is unecassary and slows the system down is this correct?), without losing all my personalised settings.
Just two things though...
1) what are/is PIM data/settings?
2) I have read on either this forum or AV forums that I need to input certain settings manually when doing a corporate install ( to completely get rid of O2 software), it also listed what these settings were, but I can't seem to find the post now?
thanks
Matt :?
From what I can find Sprite and SPB define PIM data as tasks and appointments. I have that in outlook with my first sync.
How do I restore all my personal settings and information that is not involved with a sync ?
I to have reached that conclusion...
ah well here's goes nothing with a hard reset! I'll just have to spend hours trying to get everything back to what it was settings wise!
Here goes... I'll let you know how I get on........
Great!
I followed the instructions in the manual, they didn't work, so I followed some instructions from AV Forums, they didn't work either!! My XDA won't die! Good in some respects but how can I hard reset????
Matt :shock: :?:
Well I tried SPB and it did not get what I wanted.
Mostly I got what I would get after a sync.
Any more ideas ?
To clarify I an tired of all the fiddeling I have to do after a hard reset to get all my settings and info back.
I do not mind loading programs but an tired of setting up email accounts
Fonts, Rings, Speed dials etc.
Hooray... hard reset completed, now in corporate mode. Took me about an hour to get everything back to normal, but then I suppose I've only had the machine just over a week so not that much to reset really.

Backup Help...

Hi, i have been searching for a How-to thread on How To backup the kaiser, tilt or any pda. and had no luck.
But my problem is this.
I already setup my tilt to the way i pretty much want it with tweaks, programs and settings, but i would like to take out all that att crap aka bloatware.
Is there a way to take out all that att crap and save all my settings, programs, tweaks etc. i already set and installed or would i have to start all over again?
and if i can do that how do i go about backing up my phone and re installing the restoring it without the att crap?
Thanks in advance.
backup
the only way to get rid of the att crap is to to a hard reset. most of the programs are built into the rom and can not be uninstalled. \
in order to aviod the reinstalling of the apps after a hard reset you need to reset the device right before all the customizations start.
in order to back up your comtacts emails txt msgs and such u need to search for a program called PIM backup. it will back up all of your info.
if i am wrong someone will correct me.

I am a fan of SPB Backup. but there is also Sprite Backup. Both are good and both backup all your installations settings etc. They provide full backups that can have you back up and running in ten to fifteen minutes after a hard reset or a major fault.Unfortunately it is probably a little late to remove bloatware from ATT. Most if not all these add on applications and trials etc were built into the ROM from ATT. You cannot now remove them from the ROM. You might have been able to stop the installation of this bloatware when you first got the device. However, if you were to hard reset now and stop it runnng the customisation stuff, you could not then run your backup, else it will all be put back on again. One or two things may appear in the remove programs section.Still now you have all this experience, you can start again, maybe even try a 'clean' ROM although that brings a different set of issues. It all depends how it is working and if you are happy with it.Mike
The included Sprite back up software is pretty good. It does back up (and restore) all data including programs, tweaks (registry) and most settings. I do notice that it does not back up GPRS proxy settings, but that's easy enough to reconfigure. Can't help with the bloatware.
i guess its not a big pain to redo all my settings... its not too much work to do...
What ROM performs the fastest? i notice this one that came on the tilt is a little slow when txt messaging and when trying to use it in general.
Can someone point me into the right direction?
I downloaded the kaiser-HardSPL.exe program. to unlock it but havent tried yet i wanna make sure im heading into the right direction.
which ROM is the best for ATT? i would like to speed the phone up a little bit.
But if i do this i shouldnt even try and backup my settings because u cant restore different rom backups to other ROM versions .. am i correct?
Thanks for all the help so far!

which rom do u suggest i use for att? thanks bud

Sorry if this is a stupid question!

I am quite new to ROM flashing, but have been successful and am now able to do it with no problems.
My question is simple:-
Could some someone please define the word TILT in the following sentance.
"Tilt owners, install additional cabs"
I though that all Keizer's were Tilt devices, or am I wrong? How do I know if I am a Tilt owner?
Sorry if it's a stupid question.

Yup its a stupid question alright. Naw just playing.
The Tilt is A "Kaiser" Per se but a Kaiser is not a Tilt. you know like a rectangle is a square but a square is not a rectangle.
Functionally they are the same however, the keyboard appears different, hence the need for the Keyboard Fix cab and there is no Video call Camera in the front. Oh and there is the unbearable need to have AT&T as a carrier.
And it would appear... slower roms too...

I really don't have a problem, once the bloatware is removed that is. At least its very easy to remove AT&T bloatware completely on a Tilt. No need to flash to get rid of it.

Its really easy to remove the bloatware on an AT&T Tilt. Takes about 5 minutes total. The AT&T internet settings and such will stay. It will remain fully functional. If you want stuff back like Cingular Video or Media mall you will have to reinstall those separately.
First of all you must realize when you are done the phone will be just like it came out of the box, minus the bloatware. You will have to reinstall any applications installed to the device, and redo all previously applied hacks. Backup anything you don't want lost that is in storage memory, and move it to your storage card. Anything on your storage card is safe. Once everything you don't want lost is safely backed up or moved you can proceed.
Click Start --> Settings --> System tab --> Clear Storage
Enter "1234" and click YES.
Device will reboot.
When it comes back up have your stylus ready. It will ask you to align the screen (Tap the crosshairs), set the time zone & clock, etc.
When done you will see a green screen that says something like "You have now setup your device, tap the screen to begin using Windows Mobile..."
As soon as you tap and the today screen opens you will see a text box popup saying "Software install will begin in 3 seconds" Quickly soft reset the phone before this install begins. Do this by inserting the Stylus in the reset hole in the bottom of the device and press before the install begins.
Device will reboot.
When it comes back up you will be free of AT&T Bloatware.
You may now redo all of your hacks and reinstall your software. You will notice a lot more available storage memory and RAM available.
Enjoy!

Hey Jay thanks for the advice on getting rid of att's softwares. I notice on your icon that you have TOM TOM running as your GPS program. I have TOMTOM also however my is cracked and the version is 6.010. When I first installed it, searching for satellite was fairly fast. Now, it takes forever. Any idea on what happened? Thanks

Sounds like your quick GPS files need updating. I have mine set to auto download when necessary. Go to Start--> Programs --> Quick GPS. The icon looks like a satellite dish. Click Download. When your download is complete click Menu--> Options. Make sure "Autodownload when data expires" is checked.

No, I don't have a list of everything the bloatware install ads, hides, or otherwise changes. I know Internet connection sharing is hidden and replaced with the AT&T dialer application. Then there's all the 30 second trial versions of the games that are gone as well.
After you remove the bloatware all the cabs for the bloatware are in the windows directory. If there's anything missing like Cingular Video, or anything else like that, that you can't live without just run the appropriate *.cab file and install it. I prefer this way as you can selectively install just what you want, and leave out the rest.

LOL, I've had mine since November and I haven't flashed yet. I haven't found a need to so far. I am heavily tweaked and modded though... I've been thinking about flashing, but I generally don't flash a device until my warranty expires, but that's just me. I think the only exception was with my classic model V3. I think I flashed that phone the day I got it to remove the Cingular crap. It was not necessary to flash the Tilt to remove the AT&T crap, so I haven't flashed ... yet.

Yeah, mine still worked. Just the crap is gone. Remember you will have to reinstall everything, and setup your device again, so make sure you have all that stuff ready. Its a good idea to keep all of your cabs in a folder on your storage card so you don't have to look for that stuff when you hard reset.

The official AT&T Tilt 6.1 Rom was released

Link is: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
I'm downloading it now... pretty slow download though. I bet I'm not the only one that knows about it
Same EXACT file as posted here over the weekend ftw
Took long enough!! Did you notice that one of the added features was video share calling...
The link takes you to WM6.0
And since Voice Command is in it, no more gray area!!! (Not that I care, I paid for it...)
YEA, I guess this means 3 months of redundant posts regarding winmo 6.1. YEA I can't wait!!!!
as most of you know I am a regional tech for AT&T, and there is no way in hell i would ever install a att rom on my tilt HELL NO!!!!
Never Mind, the second time I opened the link, it took me to the correct wm6.1 ruu.
Still have 30 minutes to go but I'm presuming that if you boot without bloatware that the video calling won't install so someone will have to create a cab... I'm sure xda will do it
Whats Included:
* Windows Mobile 6.1
* HTC Home
* Video Share Calling
* Threaded SMS
* MS Voice Command
* OneNote Mobile
* Remote Desktop Monitor
* Enroll Domain
* Managed Programs
* PTT Button now available
for reassignment under
Start>Settings>Buttons.
I guess that this makes the post about reassigning your PTT button obsolete..
My take on it is that it is the same one that has been floating around for a couple of days.
I just d/l the "official" one and extracted the files and the README.doc still has the paragraph to the "help desk personnel"
ALL the files sizes in the self-extracting zip are the same size also.
anyone else having a problem disabling the bloatware? everytime it soft resets it takes me back to the customization screen... third soft reset so far and I even tried letting customization begin for a second before the soft reset.
To AVOID installing AT&T's bloatware, you must flash your phone obviously, then go through the 1st boot screen where you tap the screen, set your time zone etc, then after you click finish, AS SOON AS windows loads, soft reset BEFORE it says customizing in 3 seconds.

Try this procedure it worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2562767#post2562767
So far all seems well,
My wireless router only does WPA-PSK with TKIP and not AES or WPA2 but that works well.
The one issue I have had at other times on the old ROM was that DHCP would pick up an IP but not DNS so I would have to enter in a known good DNS IP addy. I just use the Cox primary name server in Hampton Roads VA but any will work.
"No matter what the question - the answer is DNS" so you can tell I am a network guy and not a "developer, developer, developer" (Steve Balmer) by that answer eh?
Just a bit off topic but i am so thankful and grateful for the developers and all who post here to help us out!!!!
bloatware is disabled (good call) but Sprite Backup is killing my phone. May have bricked it in fact... PIM backup is a lot better even at the expense of loading a few of my own apps back on to it... I went from a black screen to a zebra pattern after the splash screen. May have to revert to the 8525 for a few days while i try to get AT&T to replace it...
If you get a black screen (or a striped screen) after using Sprite just do nothing for about 5 minutes and it will result in a hard reset (not a brick fortunately).
Glad to hear I am not the only one having trouble with sprite backup. My Tilt is stuck on the SPRITE BACKUP screen, RESTORE PROGRESS, Resetting Device. It has been this way for 15 minutes.
Now what?
This, of course, right after I installed the HTC WM 6.1 download.
It seems Microsoft's "New Home Screen Interface" didn't make it into this version... At least I can't find it anywhere.

Please help me. I have done about everything that I can without flashing.
I am not even sure that would help, and I am very leary about doing that in case I dont do it correctly.
this happened to me about 4 months ago. Just back up your contacts and whatever messages (or ALL) using PIM Backup and do a hard reset. This was the ONLY thing that worked for me. Especially was scary because I was on vacation and nowhere near a PC. Haven't had a problem since.
Did you install anything that edited the registry in order to put your mail on your SD card? Because this happened to me a while ago, after I uninstalled that program, and did a soft reset, Pocket Outlook worked just fine again.

If I do a Hard Reset will that wipe out the current ROM that I am using and set it back to the original HTC ROM?
I have Sprite backup, if I do a restore will that just make the problem resume again?
I think you want to think about "dave the tytnII guy" reply & review any changes you might of recently made to your device.
If you have made no changes or can not resolve the issue by uninstalling a newly added software then hard setting could be your option.
Your current rom will remain after hard reset & so could your problem if you do a full backup & restore.

If you have made no changes or can not resolve the issue by uninstalling a newly added software then hard setting could be your option.
Your current rom will remain after hard reset & so could your problem if you do a full backup & restore.

I do remember rearranging some folders, thinking that it would work better, but I cannot remember what folders I moved or deleted.
The only think that I have downloaded has been ringtones, voice commander software....
Probably linked to stuff you deleted or perhaps voice commander software.
If you can't resolve it you'll have to hard reset.
Hard reseting is not a big problem unless you have a lot of software & customizations installed.
Backup your PIM data hard reset & in future make backups before deleting folders or installing software that enters a lot of registry keys.
Good luck...

Thank you very much for your assistance. What software would you recommend to back up my PIM data? Would Sprite work?
Sprite or SPB backup or for just PIM data use PIMBackup.
I have had problems with Sprite on my tytnII, after making backups my tytn has lost WIFI connection settings & other account settings have been troublesome.
I would backup with both Sprite & SPB & see what you like the most.
Hi,
This just happened to me and I found this worked. Goto your storage card in file explorer and look for the folder inbox.mst123456 (the numbers will be different) and delete it. It worked for me. I hope it works for you.

I did a Hard Reset and restored my information using PIM backup. I was able to get my email and sms back to work. Thank you very much for the assistance one and all!
It Worked!
