Full Backup Tool for Wizard ROM

Gents,
I would like to know which is the best ROM backup tool and where is it.
Recently I used aWizard to backup my device but it doesn't backed up everything also the restore process was a nightmare!
Do you know what is the best, easy-to-use, really effective and friendly tool to backup AND restore an entire device (IPL/SPL, OS ROM, RADIO ROM, SPLASH SCREENS, etc.)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well Depending on what you do. I don't think there is a software that will reflash your phone if you change the bootscreens or whatnot but I have found SPBbackup to be the best for me. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en

sprite backup failure

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!

Backup and Restore after New/Updated ROM question for TP2 owners

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.

Back ups

I will admit although I am a seasoned mac user and program specialist im totally lost with my fairly new Touch Diamond,Sprint, I have don many hacks and mods and i really like the phone. I would like to try different roms but i will only do so if i can totally back up the phone, I mean so i can just restore to the exact same way it is now Is this possible? Sorry for the possibly lame question. Thanks,
mike

Hey mjb94,
i'm not quite sure if I got you right... Do you want to backup your phones progs, data, steeings, etc. to male sure you can reset the phone to the last state? For this you can use "backup manager". Or do you want to backup everything including OS, Radio, SPL? For this case I don't have a solution - But maybe it's possible if theres an app that is capable of generating romimages from your Diamond?

To restore back to how you have it now you would need to do 3 things:
1. Restore original Radio - available here:

2. Restore Stock Sprint ROM - available here:

3. Restore the Stock SPL - avaiolable here:

Backup Image ROM

How do i backup my rom ?
because i want to try another rom, and my existing rom there are so many application that i had installed
and my plan is if the rom doesn't fit my needs, i want to restore my previous rom without installing the apps from 1st time
thanks

Assuming you have a backup of the ROM itself, then an application such as Sprite Backup would allow you to restore your phone to its current state. Step 1 would be to put the current ROM back onto the device, and Step 2 would be to restore the Sprite Backup that you would make before flashing your new ROM.
AFAIK, there's no way of taking a "snapshot" of your phone, ROM and applications, and being able to restore back to that at some point in the future.
Cheers,
Steve.

thanks for the response,
btw: is there any freeware to do that ?
thanks
