Dear all,
sorry to ask this question in this part of the forum , hope the question fits here.
Is it possible to do something like an "image" of the complete phone, that can be flashed again as a kind of backup or as rollback when trying new ROMS.
So, practically a methode to backup the complete phone before testing a new ROM, and in case the new one doesn't work to roll back completely to the status before.
Is this somehow possible?
Thsnks and sorry if this is a stupid question ;-)

Hi,
I´m using "Sprite Backup" to create an image of my actual rom. It worked fine for me, but it is not free. Maybe there are free solutions too?
Best regards
Lars
Hi,
looking on the sprite homepage, I'm more talking about the "cloning" than the backup...just that I do not need to have variables in my clone image...just a one to one image, that can be later on applied again....

Yes, Sprite is the best, I use it long time....Man can restore image not only for different ROMs, but differrent WM Devices too (Merge Level 2 or 3) !!!.

I think you are looking for ppc version of norton ghost.
I've never heard any program like that..

Yes, sounds like Norton Ghost of PPC.
Now, if miro666 will share in details, what's this amazing merge ROM Level 1 does which supposedly 'merge' Dutty's HG6 with TESS LEO I? Really mind boggling..how is it up till this very second? any complication? please share in details. thanks.

Maybe the sbp backup can do the same for me....testing some Roms, and if I dont like it, g back to the last working setup....
Thanks for all your feedback

MTTY
In the good ol' days (htc typhoon) you could create one bin file of the phone. If you wanted te revert back to that image you could flash de bin file back thru SD card.
Now there is still MTTY but now it creates 3 files wich have to be recooked into one nbh file (if i am not mistaken)

Hello,
is there anything like Sprite but freeware or at least less expensive?
I'm a student and can't afford a $300 program. But the features sound so awesome! Especially if you're changing ROMs very often...
Best wishes from Germany

That is one of the things I miss about having an Android phone. There is a backup and restore function built in to recovery image built by Amon_RA. It's too bad we can't have something like that for WM.
I have used Sprite in the past and it has caused me some grief, but only when switching devices.
It's not an important enough feature for me to pay more than a few dollars for anyway.
What about ...
can you not dump your rom and achieve all the setting??
Thanks

What he means is that you can restore from different ROMs and devices.
These settings don't actually merge the ROMs, they limit certain system files from being overwritten on restoral.
I find, at least with SPB backup, its less than perfect.

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the rom on my Qtek 9100 as getting a hermes seems like a waste of time(not enough new developments) Can anyone reccommend a good rom and provide a link to it? - I cant find farias rom anywhere. I have the earliest revision of radio and os rom avail as I got my 9100 last December.
Please help as I think upgrading ROM would be much preferable to upgrading phone.
P.s do the new roms fix the screen calibration and alarm wakeup problems

It is highly unlikely that you will find Farias ROM as he has removed it from the general population. You need to read for about a week or two and after that you may be ready to upgrade your phone. I don't know if the new ROMs fix the problems you are talking about because I never had those problems to begin with.
Good Luck,

Do you have the info on what was in Farias ROM?
I don't want the ROM, but I'd like to see what he was doing. It's a shame that someone had to be an arse and ruin for other people, but then again, it's as a shame that people let people get to them over the interweb.

The best way to find out what his ROM had in it is to go to the first post in his thread and find the link that will show you his first post in the very first thread about this whole thing. He talks in detail about what the ROM contains.

Dang you are right what a bummer.

I don't use them and I'm sure they take up space I could use for something better.
Also does limewire have a mobile product or something like it?
Thx

basically anything cooked into the rom is not removable.some can be cleared from a hard reset,others can't be unless you flash a lighter rom
Just flash a new rom....
Or you could build your own rom.....

Search for a rom first, there are many rom cookers on this site that feel the same way you do about unnecessary programs. Look through all the roms and you will find one that suits you.
Well I dont know about ur first problem, but as for second, there is proggie named PocketG2 Pro its like limewire, also there is torrent client for wm phones( its a paid proggie) called winmobile torrent
here is link for info on pocketG2 Pro
http://tinyurl.com/5qgwvu
winmobile torrent is ok, I thought pocketg2 was shut down? I couldnt never find a cab nor when I did recall having it at 1 point that it never connected
PocketG2 Pro
PocketG2 Pro can be found here for anyone that wants it. i could not get it to run though.

I never ever would try something coming from a guy with 18 posts, and writing everything in BIG letters , especially if the available tools work just fine.

hehe, jup, or developers that have aliasses, or switched to another account of something similar.
I dont trust it either, hardresetting after flash takes about 20 sec so, its not that i need a tool to do it.

MS My Phone causing problems
This might be slightly off topic, but I didn't want to create a new thread for it and it is pertaining to rom development. I've had serious problems recently with multiple roms. I've installed about 4 roms in 3 days and with many i've lost my entire text message database from a soft reset. I've also reset the phone to find my email accoutns have been erased and my text messages were not sending.
I'm narrowed this down to using the MS My Phone service to restore information. This time round I used an old backup using PIM manager from my storage card and things seem to be back to normal (I hope).
Just curious, has anyone experience problems using MS My Phone? I like using it, but it now seems like a virus that if I use it, can corrupt my phone and cause me to have to reflash.
Opinions appreciated,

are you flashing sense 2.5 roms? with htc messaging app? it suffers major problems when restoring alot of sms.

mmh oookay but i think you will run into trouble cooking paid software into a rom. in the end you can call it warez and warez here is prohibited
Thanks for the reply.
I have been yes. Currently running Xannys 2.5 without Htc messaging as I can't stand the sluggish speed of HTC messaging.
I know my last big problem occurred without the sms restore (just contacts and tasks) and to be honest, I'm a little scared to try and restore anything from My Phone incase it effects my phone adversely again. I've been constantly fixing and using a phone which was unreliable because of this for about a week now, so I kind of want to get back to some stability before I experiment again.
I'll keep everyone posted on my findings.

Could be anything really... a missing package, wrong settings in the registry. Pretty much impossible to say. Which kitchen are you using? Can you provide a build log (the bunch of messages the kitchen spurts out when building the ROM)?

Just copy all the messages it throws out during ROM creation, put it in a txt file and attach it to a post. Without that, it's really hard to give you any tips...

no
is about task manager
that tab was removed because i don't like it
everybody who touched your phone will go there and look what pictures you have there so i hate it
you can fast type any person pressing dialer and typing first letter from name
so is useless and resource hungry
Love your ROM for being lite. A very nice surprise (I've forgot how nice is the bounce back effect at the end of a list; sad that Microsoft didn't use it for 6.5.x builds). Thank you!
It was funny to read the introduction. It's sad that some people didn't understood your game. I was hoping to see the funniest thread.
(The Opera Mini is in Romanian, or is because of my settings; when I've installed opera mini myself it was in English, even with the same settings. Nice lock-screen)
