I've flashed my polaris.
I've installed my softwares and done my configs.
It's a beautiful setup now. (1)
I will change settings and try softwares, demos, tricks etc.
Something will go wrong and I'll want to go back to the beautiful setup.
Is there any way to freeze the (1) status?
A Rom backup or something like that?
yes, please use SPB beckup or other software
mmhhh!?!

Do you mean spb backup can store softwares other than settings?
I'd like to have a "Rom" to flash but not to cook that, simply config my polaris installing and setting up and then have a Rom Image to flash over further changes.
Well my dear friend - GOOD LUCK!
I have been myself looking for ages for what you need, and NADA.
The only thing I have found was SPB's clone, but it is too expensive.
Hope that you will find your answer, I wish I had something like that, so that I will able to test ROMs but come back to an all installed ROM which was working perfect.
The solution is only ONE !!
backup ..
Make a ROM Flash ..
Install all your software and configure PDA ..
make a full backup (use a software like SPB ..)
Restore..
Make a Hard Reset
Restore your Backup ..
BYE .. ANZI CIAO

Has anyone tried both of the above? Which is regarded as better?
Do they backup everything?
I need to send my machine back to HTC for a repair and they say it will lose everything so I will back it up. So I want to back up everything!
Before I get a program to do this can anyone shed some light on which is best and why?
Vote for SPB. Extremely fool proof. Havent used Sprite.
My Vote is for SPB
I have been using SPB for 2 years and I have to say it is the best for me , easy to customize and quick, has all the features that u need. creates a self extracting restore file u don't need to reinstall SPB to use it. Give it a try. Sprite is just as good I have used it as well but I have to recommend SPB for ease of use.
Ed...
Spb for me too.
If i remember correctly Sprite does NOT Backup the Registry.

So, from a hard reset by starting the self extracting executable my device would be returned to its original state? Is that correct?
for_me, Spb Backup
Sprite is more capable - can restore to a different device something spb cannot do?
More q's
And what if you change ROM in the meantime? Or if you upgrade to WM6 and the backup was done on the WM5?

Neither Sprite nor Spb will help you there, remember you're basically changing the OS while your installed programs relate to the installed OS at that time.

So they don't actually change the OS back to the version that was previously installed? All the programs do is put back what system settings and programs were previously installed?
Is that correct?

Yes!......... they are basically a Backup program which when in trouble they will restore your Device to the same state and configuration as when you did the backup. This saves a lot of time when you Device gets totally stuck and needs a "Hard" Reset.......then you only need to double click on the backup exe. file (which should be on your SD card) and "Walla" you get it all back without having to waste hours in reloading your original programs.
Hi there,
i have been around here since i got my X1 and got quite some info from these great forums. Now that the Hard SPL is out i wonder if it is possible to make a ROM of my current Phone state, like an Image with all working stuff that i can just reflash whenever stuff goes wrong / i dont like a custom Rom etc.
I simply dont want to reinstall everything when i do a hard reset for whatever reason.
Is there a way to do this for the X1 ?

Spb backup works really well and is easy to use. only 25usd. I think you can download a trial.
SPB Backup
does that also backup all installed applications/settings and stuff like that ?

It backs up everything.
You can even choose a custom restore if you only want to restore your contacts or calendar.
thats great, thx for the tip, will definatly try and buy it
Hiya,
Just got my HD and loving it.
I am about to flash Dutty's 1.5 rom to it and as I haven't installed much yet, not much of an issue..
Once I've got it set up as I want it, not sure if I want to go through installing everything each time.
Now SPB creates auto extracting backups, is it wise to use this to restore the apps after a new rom version?
Cheers,
Paul.

Not recommended by SPB although the application does have a ROM change option (??):
http://faq.spbsoftwarehouse.com/content/7/16/en/can-i-restore-my-data-after-the-rom-upgrade.html
Confusing: here is the manual (v 2.0):
"
Device and ROM Upgrade Modes
Now you can safely upgrade your device ROM or change your device and seamlessly restore your data. Spb Backup will automatically detect if the restore process is being performed between different devices or ROM versions and prompt you to select the upgrade mode to perform.

Hi,
I put newest montecristo coocked rom into my ipaq and there is no sound on it, after restoring my settings with spb backup. I think that there is registry issue and now I want to change registry to enable sound but I don't know what I have to do.
Everything is fine with sound, but after restore with spb backup there is no sound.
Can somebody help me, and save my time, cause I dont want to install tones of progys one more time....
Help appreciated...
Problem solved. I put new montecristo 2.1 ROM, made registry backup, restored SPB restore file. There were no sound. But after registry restore I was surprised with sounds, and problem was solved....

Restoring old backup after a rom upgrade isn't very smart...
It wasnt upgrade. It was the same version of ROM, but I screw with registry modification and then after I stood with no sound, I need to flash it again.
But actually now is problem solved, after 2 hours trying and reinstalling some titanium plug ins etc...
I made new SPB backup for any case....
Problem can be solved with flashing new ROM, backup registry from new ROM, restoring old SPB file, restoring registry from brand new flashed ROM and a lot work with reinstalling and modifying settings etc...
But you can save time, cause most programs dont need to be installed again. Only titanium launcher with skins need new settings and re installation.
Hello,
I'm sorry if I shouldn't post this here, but I think this is the right place.
Please, is there any solution how to make complete ROM image from my tweaked HD2? I've installed official ROM (1.48), changed some registry settings, installed some programs and now I want to put this tweaked ROM to another HD2 mobile.
Thank you very much!
yes, use spb backup, it makes a full backup, custom backup or scheduled backup of anything. I am using it and its verry good at what it does.
Thanks.
SPB backup can backup the full ROM and anything else (all programs, registry tweaks, localization) and recovery that to another phone, totally from scratch?: )
yes SPB backup can backup the full ROM and anything else (all programs, registry tweaks, localization) and restore that, but if that other phone is a different brand i dont know how the backup will solve compatibility issues regarding registry or 3rd party settings.
I don't think so
My (official) ROM had 180MB, then I installed some programs and SPBBackup has now only 80MB. So I think SPBBackup doesn't backup all the windows files.
I need a tool, which can create image (LEOIMG.nbh) for use with CustomRUU.exe on another HTC HD2.
i guess i misunderstood your point, in this case you'll have to use some cooking rom utilities, see Rom thread for this. sorry.
Anyway, thank you.
I take it that you want to clone the device?! As long as you are using two identical devices (i.e. two HTC HD2's) SpriteClone could be your answer. Try here: http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-clone
Hope this helps.
