Hi..
I used to own a HTC Blueangel, which i upgraded to AKU 3.5 WM5 Beta 1.4b Beta. I took a full back up with the Helmi backup utility included with the ROM and got rid of the set and bought an HTC Atom. But there is no backup utility on the original ROM to restore the data.
Can anyone help me to how to install that helmi backup on to the Atom? I have downloaded helmi_backup.zip and unzipped it on the device. But when I try to run it, it says that the program is missing a file and the file needs to b replaced or restored...

hi everyone! i m a newbie here.
after installing the newest rom by pug to improve the camera quality, i couldn't restore from any backup thru activesync 3.8
can anyone help?
thanks in advance
After a hard reset the partnership is deleted and you have to navigate to the relevant backup file. It's a bit of a mute point if you installed the camera fix as it will go back to how it was before.
If you didn't backup you contacts, try a restore, backup contacts using xbackup on your phone and do the upgrade again.
rom update
i end up re-installing the whole programs again as i couldn't do a restore from the activesync.
questions:
1) should i do a backup using xbackup since i tried to backup using active sync & when i did a hard reset, the same thing happens meaning that my pc cannot restore saying that the restore is meant for another equipment. ???
2) is there any cab files that can help that i miss out
3) i m quite fond of using the O2 connect since it gives me "fonix" voicedialling for free. i also use O2 plus beta. However i can edit the icons in the use menu. miss out another critical cab file again???
thanks pug for yr prompt answer...
Well, finally I tried the (official) upgrade from WM5 (1.8.407.1) to WM6.
I found detailed instructions using SpriteBackup 3.14 or higher. And since Version 5.01 were deliverd with my Herald, I gave it a try!
But that's were this endless night began...
The instructions used "GetUpgradeData.exe" from Sprite Software.
This is what I did:
- I created a complete Backup with Sprite Backup 5.01.
- I did a hard-reset.
- I run the "GetUpgradeData.exe" and got a sbu-file I stored.
- I actually performed the ROM-upgrade
- I installed Sprite Backup.
But wenn I tried to restore the Backup I made earlier I didn't found the "Upgrade-Mode" that was mentioned in the instructions and which I created the sbu-file for.
On the Sprite-Homepage, I got the information, that this functions seems to exist only since 5.1!
So I installed the newest version as trial. But this damn software doesn't restore backup made with older versions of itself! :-O
Since I found no possibility to makes Sprite Backup 6 *do* this, I decided to give 5.01 a try nevertheless. But it didn't work. I actually can't remember anymore, what error came exactly in this situation, but I realized it would work.
Since then I look for a downgrade to restore my backup on good old WM5.0 and try the whole szenario with Sprite 5.1 (I don't like 6).
I actually *found* a WM5-ROM, but it's not 1.8.407.1, it's 5.4.407.1.
- I "updated" the ROM, WM5 runs fine.
- I installed Sprite 5.01.
- I run Sprite 5.01 and got an error mentioning to little free memory!
- I performed a hard-reset, installed Sprite and tried to restore selected parts of the backup to need less memory. It ends successful, but during the following Warm-Start I get repeatetly the error that "The last cold-start" wasn't complete. So it performs a new reset by itself.
And that *are* my possibilities:
- restore all and have to little memory
or
- restore parts an get this weird error.
Why is this? and How can I change it?
I still have the hope that a 1.8.407.1-ROM would fix all problems. But where to take from. :-((
Any ideas how I can save my Herald? Please? It's 7am now an I'm puzzeling for 5 hours now. I want everything back to normal! :-(
Thanks for every help you can give me...
I didn´t really read the howl thread - but
NEVER try to take a WM5 backup to work with a WM6 Rom!!!
You never treid to use a Windows 95 backup on a Windows Vista PC???
So why you wanne restore a backup from a complete different Rom??
Install all new. NEVER use a backup when flashing a new rom.
Just my 2 cents

Well, my two, too, until yesterdey, when I learnd about that option in Sprite Backup. I quote from the manual of "Sprite Backup 6":
http://www.spritesoftware.com/downloads/SpriteBackupHelp.pdf said:
Setting Upgrade Mode Options
Sprite Backup automatically detects if the restore process is being performed between different devices or ROM versions and automatically enables this function and you will be asked to select the type of 'Upgrade Mode' operation you wish to perform.
ROM: Use this option to perform restore operations between the same devices with different ROM revisions. For example: restoring from a KJAM ROM 2.16.9 to a KJAM AKU2 ROM version.
Device: Use this option when you wish to restore across devices and ROM versions. For example: When restoring a backup file created on a WM2005 KJAM device onto a WM 2006 JAZJAR device.
Safe: If your device does not boot after performing a ‘ROM Upgrade’ or ‘Device Upgrade’ restore use the ‘Safe Upgrade’ operation.

The problem is that my version of Sprite Backup does not have this capability unexpectetly. Which I realized when it was to late.
one comment of a nearly flashaddict:
i ALLWAYS install all new. it is much faster after a few month when you make a hardreset and flash new......
believe me. i flashed so many roms - and allways installed it completely new!!
Sure you are right. And actually that's my choice now.
I made it to restore at least my personal data in WM5, backed them up new and restorem *them* on new installed WM6.
Now I'm on the configurating, installing, reconstructing part. :-((
Hello
Is it possible to save an installed WM 6.0 with all Softawretools installed (like German Language, explorer fixed, TomTom, etc..)
I have installed one with all features I like
My collegues want to have the same rom an seetings.
Or is it possible to setup 10 cab in batch mode
Thanks
Peter
At the moment I tried to backup with ntrw.exe and romupdate
But it did not work.
Only the Original Rom was saved without the settings and inatlled software. Has anyone else an idea.
Thanks Peter
I upgraded the HTC P3400 rom to WM6.1 using the rom cooked by mUn, Orefkov. The upgrade was perfect. No issues except that I am unable to reinstall the original root certificates which came loaded on HTC.
I had taken a complete backup by sprite before the upgrade.
However when I restore the backup it restores the entire backup and slows down the HTC.
I alternatively copied the file sysroots.p7b from windows to storage card and did a fresh reinstall of wm 6.1. Is it possible to install it back to wm6.1?
Hello,
how can I backup the original Rom of my I-mate jas jar ?
I am fairly new to this and I want to upgrade from WM 5 to WM 6.5.
Thanks

Welcome to forums
Applications can be stored on your SD card with no problem, and as for your SMS and log calls search for PIM Backup.
WM6.5 is 100% working on Universal but its heavy to run unless you have a modified 128Mb RAM, if not I would recommend WM6.1 (Tomal 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 ROM´s) as they will be fast and stable.
Instructions to upgrade on my signature link.
Good luck,
Thanks orb,
But I was asking if there was a way to backup my original Wm5 from my phone , I have already backed up the apps and contacts.Now (if there is such a way) I want to backup the actual WM which came with it.
Regards,
some one
If you mean to the ROM this will be wiped out but you can check on my signature link for WM5 ROM to have it.
Believe me once you test WM6 or above you won´t want to go back, unless video call is a must for you
Good luck,
Yes I saw the wm5 in the signature on your link but isn't there a way for me to backup wm5 from my own PPC??
Oh and from where can I get the java midlet manager for wm5 (till I have not flashed my phone ) , I want the cab file of the same one which comes pre-installed?
Backing up and reconstructing the ROM is hard work. There's usually no reason to do so unless you want to cook your own rom. If you can find the version of your rom (probably somewhere in start-settings-system, can't recall exactly where off-hand), you can download the same or a newer version if you want to return to it later. As orb3000 says though, you won't want to unless you really have to make video calls.
