hello to all
i flash my rom allot such as many people here
mostly i return back to one rom that i like the most
is there a way to make a dump of my rom with all my apps installed
that if i flash back to that rom i dont have to instal everything again
hope somebody can help me
this not a option, what you can do is
1 flash a rom
2 install all you programms
3 make a backup
and when you decide to use a rom again in the future reload the backup yo made at point 3
yours sincerely
thank you for youre answer but wich backup program do you use
i have pimbackup but that only makes a backup of my contacts ans messages and that sort of thing not my apps

I personally use SPB Backup. Its not freeware but you get 5 backups for free before you need to purchase.
Sprite backup is just as good though
SPB Backup works for me too, costs but worth the hassle.

Hey guyz.
I have made a rom upgrade to the new v3 dutty, I'm really happy with it, although I forgot that I wont be able to restore the backup + my conacts gonna go missing. I do have a backup from my phone, what do you think, is there any way to actually restore or somehow get out my contacts from that backup?
I'm with tmobile uk, that was the original rom.
Thanks a lot.
Might be better to restore the original rom, restore the backup and then use a pim backup to backup just the contacts.
i c. any idea where could i get the original tmobile rom???
many thanks
You'll have to do a search on that one if you didn't do a dump or your ROM prior to flashing another ROM.
Didnt you sync your contacts with your PC (with Outlook)?
No, I dont use outlook, so i dont have a sync. I tried to backup explorer from sprite, although I couldnt find the contact file - where it is stored. I wouldnt mind to put back the original tmobile rom, although I couldnt find it anywhere. Please all tmobile uk users if you could post your rom here, it would be nice, or u guyz know a link...
THanks
try Here for the ROM
Hope it helps!
Hi all, I have a question regarding SPB backup. I have completed a full SPB backup before flashing the ROM. After flashing the ROM if I restore the backup will I go back to where I was before flashing the ROM? For example did I change some of the registry value back to the OLD setting?
Is it better to reinstall all the programs again under after flashing the ROM? Can anyone help to answer? Thanks!

it will cause some problem if you restore the old rom backup
the better thing is to reinstall all your programs again
Basically it works - EXCEPT that progs get installed on your SD/Internal card/memory, and those create remnants. Easy to sort out if you are even vaguely clued up. I do this, then re-install progs that don't run properly afterwards (usually very few).
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
Hi All,
Regardless of what backup tools you are using, I know everyone do backup your stuff. (If not, most people)
Do you restore your backup from your backup copied after you installed your latest ROM? or installed everything from scratch again???
Will there be any different result if you do one or the other way? Will your phone works better on either way or its doesn't makes any different?
I noticed (In my opinion) some of you report your phone works greats after the latest ROM and some said it make your phone worst.
Isn't the backup/restore ONLY work great if you still have the same ROM and not when you tried to restored it on the new ROM or vise-verse??? cos each ROM might have different coding???
Anyone one?
P/S: Please help move it to the correct thread, if you think I post it on the work thread, Thanks! :>
Hi radiowc,
IMHO I'll suggest to install everything from scratch after an update that includes a hard reset, including reg edits, and only restore data like Contacts, Appointments, etc.
That's my doing since '04...
Best,

Just today I had to hard reset due to that tf3d theme maker app. But anyways, I used SPB backup and it worked perfectly. It brought my phone back exactly the way I had it before the mishap with that app. All the contacts, ringtones, apps, fonts and themes etc.... I had to do absolutely nothing to get my phone back to the way it was. I am very pleased.
I updated my ROM recently and restored using SPB backup from the old ROM and everything has been going perfectly fine.
I use sprite backup and that works very well.
After a rom update I use "merge level 1" and I have every thing back without messing the new rom.
In other cases restore is almost writing back an image.
does anyone no a piece of software that will create image of the phone
whenever i flash a new rom and go back to the old one, i have to reinstall my stuff, of which there is alot
any one know of any software that makes a flashable image that contains apps and settings
Thanks

I have used SPB Backup with big success, however it works best on the ROM from which you made the initial backup.
Great
many thanks, i was only gonna use it on a single rom, so if i test a new ad don't like, i can go back to the old one and restore apps and settings
thanks

I agree with SPB Backup. It works great for me, just be sure to restore the backup right after an hard reset
