Hi,
yesterday I flashed a Big_Storage_ROM. Everything went fine. I did a backup with sprite backup. Even the restoring went fine.
then i wanted to move some applications to my Storage area. I deinstalled them and reinstalled them there.
everything went fine, except MS Voice Command.
I always get an error message telling me that it could be installed and that I have to run setup again ...
any ideas what i could do? could there be any registry entries that i have to delete before i can install it again?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Trin

Backed it up with a trial version of sbp. Wiped out my appointments, all contacts and no phone function. Installed Summiter's ROM. Was working great and have no idea if it is appicable to the problem. Any ideas?
Spb backup won't do a proper restore after a rom upgrade. Try restoring from activesync/outlook express. Next time backup pim.vol (in the root directory of the device) which contains the contacts/appts.
RE: Update on Backed up Cingular 8125 no phone , calendar or
I did not explain it properly. I did the ROM upgrade then installed all my programs. I then used sbp trial to back up everything. When done it did a soft reboot and that's when I lost m phone, contacts and calendar. I use Pocket informant. It was still there but empty. I had to reinstall the RO to get my phone back. Thanks for the advice.
I recently got a replacement orbit2 after dropping and smashing the screen on my last one! Before I exchanged my old phone I saved a backup using ‘sprite backup’ onto my memory card.
I then ran the backed up files and settings onto my new phone. Everything worked fine except co-pilot, so I tried to reinstall co pilot on to the new phone with no success. It just hangs when I try to run the program.
After playing around with it for some time I did a hard reset, co pilot then installs fine!
The problem is as soon as I run my backup files again the same problem happens, I guess running the back up places some old co pilots files from the old phone, that stops it installing on the new one.
I really want to use the back up as it has all my settings / messages and programs already installed.
Can anyone please suggest how to do it? After running backup I tried deleting any co pilot files but still no joy…..
I had a similar problem using European maps on CoPilot. The solution for me was to go to the memory card, and delete ALL the files starting ao in the copilot\eu\save folder. I also got rid of a test ov2 POI file as well. Once cleared out, CoPilot started up nice and quickly, and I've not had a problem since. Hope that may help you a little.
When using a backup program such as sprite, you can only restore a backup on the phone that you took the backup from... if you have copilot on your SD card just copy and past the Copilot launch file to windows/start menu and it will just work, or reinstall it from the cd that came with the phone. I have done this and it has worked fine.
OKay... perhaps someone can save me from having to reinstall from scratch - searching did not give me the answer.
Accidentally deleted all my contacts from the diamond after having had to reinstall my PC (and outlook)
I thought to myself, well, I've got SpriteBackup, right? (been running Sprite Backup regularly, excluding the Internal Storage but doing everything else.) - I'll do a restore.
It's a German O2 original ROM, I made no changes to it since the backup a few days ago. The only difference OUGHT to have been the missing contacts.
Executed the backup from Internal Storage, it ran without error, and immediately after the final soft reset I get the message that a few programs (changescreen, s2u, ...) can't be started because either a component is missing or the certificate is invalid (paraphrased German error msg)
It turns out NO Program I've installed myself will launch. Not even those I merely copied over and that normally run without an installer.
I tried factory defaults and running the restore again, with the same results -NONE of my programs work anymore and it doesn't matter if I installed them in the Programs or on Internal Storage
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix it without a complete reinstall (which I would absolutely hate to have to do)?
Thanks in advance,

Solved.
I needed to run the restore from the application rather than calling the .exe, and set the restore options to "replace" rather than "merge", which seems to be the default.
Ah! I had the same problem.
The new Sprite backup has added functionality to make upgrading of ROM easier (great news for those ROM-flashers here!) so instead of overwriting all your system files with old ones it'll do a 'merge'.
You can do a hard-reset, then run the .exe file and choose to do a "Level 1" and "Merge". This should fix your problem.
If it doesn't, then you'll have to run the Sprite Backup application (Which I presume is stored on your Internal memory), Go to "Settings" -> "Restore", and choose "Replace" instead of "Merge". Now go back to main menu, choose restore, choose the backup file and it should work this time.
Hi!
I've wiped everything from HTC hero, installed latest modaco custom rom (2.9) and all seems fast and fine.
Now I want to restore contacts, sms, and rest which I had backed up using the "Backup for Root Users" app. It does not work.
I tried both the old and the new version (=Backup). I know I have all the required sqlite .db files (I can even view them with other sqlite tools).
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Finally it did work.
just for the record: next time would be helpfull to know why or how it did not work. this was more like: " my car does not start, but the gas tank is full. why?"
did you figure out what went wrong?
I would be very interested to know how you got this to work and why it was going wrong too.
When i tried to use it, i backed it up ok, could see all the required files on my SDcard, but when i went to restore, it didnt restore anything on my phone.
Can anbody tell me how i can use back up for root users to restore the back up.
Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...
are you on 3G or wifi?
WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...
I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."

i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.
Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?
I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!
Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.
Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....
Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!
have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.
I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!
