Hello,
I briefly installed SPb Backup but had some issues with it and uninstalled it.
Before removing it I set it to auto-backup, which it still tries to do...
Where can I find its parts so I could completely wipe it?
Send an e mail to Spb support and they will tell you what files you need to delete.

Had the same problem. Remove the \Windows\SpbBackupRunner.exe from the Notification Queue with either MemMaid or SKTools. Then, suspend (so that the changes are flushed back to the flash ROM) and, then, reset the device; now, delete \Windows\SpbBackupRunner.exe by hand.

the problem i have only showed today, when i wanted to sync my device with my laptop, i had an error message saying AS encountered a problem and cannot sync the device.
also when i want to install any app it ssays (unsuccessful installation) no matter what the app was.
the last thing, when i went to the remove software list, surprise, nothing was there, absolutely empty list (i still have all my apps installed and running).
what could be the cause for this? please help me here guys.
Certainly a program that screwed up the system. I would hard reset and reinstall trusted apps only...
thats exactly what i did. i had to hard reset the device despite all the information i couldn't save, just to get it back to work properly.
is there any app that allows me to back up & restore sms msgs? i lost more than 300 important msgs in this hard reset, & was really pissed off that i had to do it.
I use Jeyo Mobile Extender to synchronise them with Outlook.
sorry for reviving a dead topic, but i am constantly getting the error where it tells me uninstal unsuccessful, do you want to remove the application from the remove programs list? and when installing i get install unsuccessful, try again? click yes and same thing.
Do i really need to hard reset?
that's what i had to do, hard reset.
i couldn't find any other way around this problem.
I have the same problem even after a hard reset.
I'm unable to instal any application without the message: ....CAB Install unsuccessful, try another location.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
I have 2 problems with my K-Jam.
1) Cant uninstall lots of programs
2) Some of the installed Cab files doesn't show up on the Remove Programs app
1) Everytime i try to uninstall an application i get this error "<application> was not completly removed from. Do you want to remove it from the list of Installed programs?"
If i said yes and then restart the application is still there and running and everything. WHAT CAN I DO??
2) I installed Skype that comes preloaded on the K-Jam, i want to uninstall it in order to install a newer version but it didn't show up on the uninstall list! I also installed the Vodafone dialer skin and it wasn't added to the installed programs list. What i can do?
I dont want to hard reset cz i have loads of SMS messages that i dont want to delete and that's another problem i can't backup my SMS messages, is there a way to do it?
Thank you very much for your patience and help, i really appreciate it...
waiting to hear soon form you

Me face the same problem
Any help would be Appreciated.
Hello Guys,
Try JEYOS software its fully functional free for 15 days, you can connect your PDA to your Outlook and download all the SMS's in to already installed JEYOs plugin, and then restore them again later on.
But be carefull as this plugin will give some hard time to the Outlook during loading and get crash, but dont worry u not gonna loose any backuped SMS's, just restart your Outlook and it will be ok.

Try to install the new version of Skype on top of the older one.

Here is a procedure
There is a lot written about this on the forum. It is a major nuisance that nothing uninstalls properly. Here is what I do:
Backup device (I use spb backup)
Turn program off. Sometimes this requires killing the running file.
Uninstall using using the uninstall function, either from the device or activesync.
Soft reset. If program still runs, kill it.
Using file explorer, remove remnants (identified by program name) from /Windows/Start Menu/Programs, /Windows, /Windows/AppMgr and /Program Files. If the program installed to the SD card you have to look there too.
Using Memmaid, kill any notifications the program created. You can use it to eliminate bad registry links, too, but that rarely works in my experience.
Soft reset
This has worked for me.
I strongly recommend being unnaturally organized about the software you install and the settings. Keep a log. After uninstalling a bunch of programs, you are probably going to want to do a hard reset and install the software you actually like, and this will be easy if you have all the information (passwords, settings) at hand. It is the only way to have a clean device with no remnants of programs that didn't properly uninstall.
I have used SPB Backup on a number of HTC devices over the last couple of years (Universal, Wizard and Hermes) with no problems. In every case the backup has taken a couple of minutes to complete.
But with the Niki, I am having all sorts of problems. When I try to carry out a backup, it is painfully slow. On the first few attempts it timed out, saying that SPB Backup was not responding. I am presently trying again, but switching off the screen during the process. I switch it back on occasionally to check progress. After about 30 minutes, I am still only about 1/4 of the way through.
I am using the latest version of SPB Backup, and it is installed to my device.
Is there anyone out there who has SPB Backup working with their Niki?
Had the same problems. Try SpriteBackup or wait for a fix!
If you want a "clean" restore, you should always hard reset the device before restoring from backup.

Thanks for that. I guess that I will go with SpriteBackup.
If you go into options you can uncheck the box that says "stop processes before backup", this has worked for me.
I now get good backups, I don't ever have any processes left running to stop anyway.
If you do then manually stopping them first may be the way to go.
I have a Neon not a Niki but had the same problem
SPB backup version 2 works fine
Just tried newly released SPB Backup v 2 & works fine wt 'stop all processes' ticked. It seems faster too.

Just got it, Installed and backed up a couple times. I also tested by doing a hard reset and using the stand-alone restorer option for the backup. Restored perfectly. Bluetooth partnerships, exchange and everything works like it never went down.
Great app. Can't wait to test the ROM upgrade feature
SPB Backup not working ADDITION 1
ADDITION 1:
I managed to create the same problem again with SPB Backup version 2 while tweaking the fonts & system cache settings upwards (see post on 'how to make our devices more responsive' by tweaking the registry or actually use excellent little programme called Nike Tweak (you will find it somewhere in the forum). When I downgraded the settings a bit the programme was again able to backup my system with the 'stop prcesses' box ticked. Though I didn't actually test, I suspect one could manage to use version 1 to perform a full backup of device system by downgrading these settings. the other possible advantage of version 2 over version 1, apart from speed, is that I stopped getting the worrying error message 'could not open file /Windows/Isoma/lic/00000...0.db' the significance of which I don't actually know.
A few days ago I have updated my phone using the SE update software. I made a backup of my personal data because the software told me that all the data would be erased.
After the update was completed I restored my backup succesfully. Unfortuantly all the icons of the programs I had installed on my external memorycard before the update were gone in my programlist, while their systemfiles were still at my external memorycard...
But the strangest thing is that the programs do come up in the list of programs in 'Removing Programs'. But when I select a program to remove (with the idea to install it again so I have got the icon back to open it), I get an error and the question to remove the program from the list. If I click yes the program stays in the list
So in short, the problem is that I have a lot of programs on my memorycard which I can't open because it has no icon in the list of programs. When I try to uninstall it I got an error with every program which was installed on my external memorycard before I did the update...
Hope someone can help me!
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,
Verrath
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.
