So I backed up my phone after I found it wouldn't sync to save my contacts and all. Bricked my phone, got a replacement. NOW THE PROBLEM is that when I restore, my device lock comes up but the code (which I remember) doesn't work.
Is there a file I can NOT restore so I can get the contacts and rest back?
Man I miss my Treo, Palm Desktop was beautiful. Microsoft SUCKS
Oops. You're going through something which I too have been through. But,now there is a solution. Run that backup file exe. Go to 'tools'(right soft key)//advance options//tick 'dont restrore password'
Do tell me if u r successful in getting ur stuff back
PS: was going to sleep and posted this via wifi. really felt that u r in trouble

Ok, see once I run it, turn the phone on, the device lock comes up and I'm stuck. The only options it gives is to cancel. How many times can I put this thing back to factory settings before I brick it? Walk me through this like I'm stupid! LOL I thank you for responding, seriously!
After I this, I gotta do the memory increase... grrrr

You wont be bricking the phone that way at all Do a forced hardreset(both softkeys+softreset button)
Now, follow these steps
1)click on the backup exe file
2)go to tools>dont restore password
3)also uncheck stop all processes
4)dont go in for 'full backup'. Do a custom restore and select only PIM and my documents from it.
you can always install the programs after that because IMHO the PIM data is far more important
keep us updated
THANK YOU!!!!

OOps didn't even do the hard reset just did the back up options and it worked! ty I would've been upsetting myself trying different scenarios on my own so I appreciate this! Chick be dying without them numbers ya dig? Oh my calendar. I will be back this up to my storage card EVERY WEEK or day if need be, cause this was so wrong.
Now to fix the damn memory issue...I know the thread is up and they say it is good...
Glad to know that it worked for you
similiar problem i guess
hi i am also using htc herald, i just flashed my ROM and the new rom is working fine. However i tried to backup my stuffs using spb backup, and i chose full restore(which including system setting may be) and since then my phone just wont boot up, only 1 screen showing smart mobility is appearing constantly. Do this have anything to do with me flashing the phone? And what are the solutions can i try? Thanks a lot

SPB backup doesnt let you upgrade/downgrade between ROMs. To be on the safe side, just restore PIM+my documents after ROM upgrade.
Follow the steps exactly the same way I've listed in my previous post
thanks for ur reply, i hard reset my phone and luckily it is starting to boot up and this time i din restore the system back up and now my phone is working fine. Thanks again.
I do have this problem. i dont see your stop give me a solution, I can do anything when Screen PDA only show ..
ENTER YOUR PASSWORD AND TAP "UNLOCK". YOU CAN ALSO ENTER AN EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER
0 0:08:00

Thanks Guys
Cool, I just updated my PRL.
Doesn't the PRL allow you to pick up more towers? Maybe this was released to help with the new sprint radio, i know earlier today my signal was all over the place.

the same thing happened to me you'll have to flash the 60664 PRL manually.
1. Put the prl file on your SD
2. Enter ##775# then press Call
3. Enter your MSL (If you don't have it call Sprint tell them your trying to manually update your PRL and they should give it to you know problem)
4. Select the prl file
5. Press the menu button select commit and off you go.

+1 - stayed at 60664 - running the new Fresh Toast.
The new PRL seems fine to me but the newest sprint radio seems really ****ty so far. The battery life is ok but my signal is literally going nuts. Is it bad to just run the original stock radio from 1.5?
I've been messing with my Hero's data settings and in an effort to restore the data profiles and all EVDO/Data settings to default, I installed Android 2.27.651.6 because I saw that there was now a "How to get Root" thread for 2.1. What I didn't see is that you should INSTALL 2.27.651.5!!!
Now my phone is not letting me revert to 2.27.651.5 because of a Signature Error 132. I need to revert to 1.6 so I can once again get root. How do I do this? Can I just install the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release file I downloaded? I've heard if you install an RUU that doesn't match your radio, you could brick your phone...so I'm trying to avoid that.
I KNOW that you're supposed to be able to revert to 2.27.651.5....so don't tell me "why don't you just install version 2.27.651.5". It doesn't work. I get a signature error. I don't know why...all I know is I'm now stuck on 2.1. Here's my version information. I think when I originally rooted the phone when it came with 1.6, I created a nandroid backup. Can I use any of the data on my SD card to restore back to 1.6? Please help!
Firmware - 2.1-update1
Baseband - 2.42.01.04.27
Kernel - 2.6.29-bc0d2cff
Build - 2.27.651.6
Software - 2.27.651.6

Try downloading the RUU again and making sure the MD5 checksum matches. That error can be related to a corrupt file. Have you tried booting into recovery and restoring your nandroid?
I've downloaded the RUU twice...from both links, but haven't checked the MD5. Both give the same error. Is there another mirror for the RUU?
I haven't tried restoring my Nandroid. I'm very new to Android hacking and am not even sure how to do that. I'm pretty sure I have a Nandroid backup, but how can I tell for sure and how would I do that? Is that the power on/action/back button pressed menu?
I really appreciate the help!
try booting into recovery as said before. power off your phone then hold the home key and hit power to turn it back on, continue to hold home untill HOPEFULLY you get your recovery (blackscreen with green letters) if you get that then you just go to the backup/ restore option and choose restore, if you have any backups of 1.5 on your sd card then they will show in there.
When I hold down the home and power buttons, I get a cell phone picture with a red cross through it. So I don't think that's gonna work. Any other ways to restore a nandroid or to revert to earlier ROM? Please help!
I have no idea why, but I gave it a rest all day, downloaded the same .5 RUU from roms-shipped and its working. I checked the MD5s and they all match. Who knows. I'm just glad it seems to be working! Now I can root again!!
Any idea how to restore factory Sprint data/wap settings?

After tremendous searching and asking for help from members.. I got all these instructions which I am compiling for myself and others who might need it.
Disclaimer: I have tried these instructions as it is and worked fine for me. Now I have GPS lock in <5secs and with a accuracy of 5-10m. Tried it atleast 5-6 times at different times and still seem to work fine, unlike while I was on 2.1 before. Feel free to suggest any modifications or corrections.
Assumptions:
You have used OTA update.zip to go to Froyo and have no GPS at all
You are on windows machine
You have guts to flash back to older firmware and not brick your unit like other did (possibly restored too)
Atleast I am not rooted before or after update. Not sure how thats gonna affect this process.
Files needed (PC only)
DI18 .tar.md5
http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV
odin & pit from the wiki link
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip
Step1: ODIN [worked perfectly,had to install samsung drivers]
1. Open odin
2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
3. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
4. Select the victory_8G_100528.pit on the right in the pit section. Some say pit is needed..some say not needed. I am going to put it in and try first.
5. In the PDA Section you place either the full Stock tar (SPH-D700-****-8Gb-REL.tar around 300mb~) for a full wipe and full return to stock. This is what you downloaded from above multiupload.com link. Its about 255 mb.
6. Hit start. It will do its thing. Doesn't take long you can see the progress bar. If it sits on File Analysis for longer than 30 seconds its not going to happen. See the troubleshoot section below.
7. Device should reboot and should be done.
Step 2: GPS LOCK[ Got instant lock]
Fire up Google Maps app and wait for it to lock your location.
If your GPS doesnt lock after sometime.. try these steps.
In your dialer, type *#1472365#
click "Setup" tab
Then:
Operation Mode: (MSBased)
Back out
Starting Mode: (Cold Start)
Back out
Session Type: (Single Fix)
Back out and reboot your phone.
Step 3: Flash back to DK28 [ not sure why we cant use update.zip as we did before for this process]
1. Download DK28 .tar file here http://www.multiupload.com/C5YEZK3WF7 <== DONT USE THIS, YOU WILL GET MD5 HASH INVALID.
Use this instead http://www.multiupload.com/A4HRBSEB7X
2. Follow the same steps as above in STEP 1 instead use the above file in the PDA section.
Note: There doesnt seem to be a pit file for this flashing. Please let me know if thats accurate.
Note2: I didnt use any pit file for this step, and it worked fine.
NOTE1: The.md5.tar seems to wipe out everything and there is no alternative
NOTE2: Some people have suggested to remove the SD card before running ODIN. I am not 100% sure.
NOTE3: You will need to get samsung drivers if ODIN doesnt recognize the phone. Also ppl are saying samsung cables are crap, so if ODIN doesnt recognize then you may have to swap out the cables.
NOTE4: If you are stuck in the download mode (yellow digging android) and you have NOT started the flashing/odin process yet, just pull the battery out and it will be normal. IF YOU STARTED THE FLASHING/ODIN PROCESS,PULLING MIGHT HOSE YOUR PHONE.
32-bit drivers: http://firon.net/xda/Samsung_Mobile_...00_Epic_4G.zip
64-bit drivers: http://firon.net/xda/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
I ll keep adding as I find more info.. Hope this helps.
Thanks every one for their feedback.
PS: This is almost accurate.. I have followed them as it is and they worked for me.
Update: I followed every step to the T in the above guide and have been able to get back to froyo and gps lock successfully. Tho the first gps lock was only 60m inside the house. I will play around more and post updates.
Update 2: I get a accuracy of about 5-10 m now.
Thanks...this is what I've been waiting for. Problem I've been having is my compter or odin wont recognizes the epic. What should I do...I'm runing Windows 7 64bit
I guess you need to have samsung drivers installed.. its there somewhere in this forum.. I will update the guide.

Edit: Mine wasnt being recognized either.. and I installed the 64bit drivers from above link and it identified it right away.. no issues.. flashed back to DI18.. just that all data/apps are gone..but that was expected since its a full wipe. Was surprised that the contacts are gone too.. but I can live with that

Like to inform you guys the DK28 is not the official release. Sprint has not corrected the fix for the GPS. http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/52685#
I don't think the way you are going about this has anything to do with the problem. I think the tar file I dl on Friday had a problem as the GPS wasn't the only thing that was bad when flashing to 2.2.1.
So I decided to flash back to DI18 and then flashed the DK28 modem. I then booted into CWM and ran the latest Froyo Quantum rom. After boot my GPS locked on (outside) to within 10-15 feet in < 5 seconds (better than it has since launch day). Inside my apartment it won't lock at all, but the walls here are steel reinforced concrete so I wasn't expecting it to lock on indoors. I will add in the GPS fix (found on the Quantum thread) later tonight and see what happens.
So far the only problem I have noticed with any regularity is a FC of com.android.phone when hanging up on a phone call.

Well I dont know what the hell I did, but through the process of ODINing to di18, losing root, rerooting, GPS still not working, trying the *# thing still not working, then restoring from a nandroid that bootlooped to ODINing to dk28, then restoring again, I now have working GPS. lol
you got to think the information that was posted are for people that are freaking out. running around with there heads cut off like a chicken. best way to inform someone is to give all the facts, and if it does not work once or twice. maybe never. they can come to the relaztion there phone is not broke. maybe you have no clue who comes on the forums to find out information, but i understand your point. I went from many custom roms dk28. Ive had my wifi not work nor my gps was working as expected. got alittle tired of odining my phone, and clock working my phone. to realize there is no confirmed fix. being back to di18 everything working as expected. do not get me wrong dk28 runs much better, but i need all the atributes the phone provides wifi gps etc... Those where the only confirmed problems i have had. great props to the devs
ok i followed every step, but when hitting start on odim this came out.
<osm> enter cs for md5..
<osm> check md5.. Do not unplug the cable...
<osm> please wait..
<osm> md5 hash value is invalid
<osm> sph-d700-di18-8b-REL.tar.md5 is invalid.
<osm> end...
now my phone is stuck in the downloading screen. what do i do to restart my phone to see if i didnt mess it up
Make sure there are no spaces in the filepath and name. I also had issues like this with parens in the name.

in the filepath? the file names that i put on the pit and pda section? the names have no spaces or parenthesis, just underscores which i think belong there
is it safe to unplug the battery to get it out of the download screen on my phone? its been stuck there since the attempt to go back was unsuccesful
I was following a guide to flash to boost.. but I wasn't flashing to boost but from sprint to sprint so as to avoid paying for a dataplan. Anyways.. when I copied my nv files from upstage to Epic 4G in CDMA workshop, my phone restarted and BAM! My phone gets no signal - stuck in airplane mode, Can open browsers, market.. some apps works but only a few. Unkown in baseband and firmware version under settings..
can this be solved or is my phone done for? Did I just trash my 400 bucks?
I've already tried resetting.. used odin to put in stock ROM/modem.. none of that worked. I did the 1, camera, power reset..
Thanks in advance for the help.

I think what he means is the topic you are discussing is illegal. This thread will probably going o be closed by a mod and further discussion may get you banned. just saying.
oh... dang.. I didn't know its illegal if I was doing exchange between both phones owned by me. oh well.. then.. the mod can close it if it's illegal.. sorry.

If your are able to put the phone in download mode (1 key + power ), then you shouldn't be bricked.
You will need a full .tar file. With being able to get into download mode and a full .tar file, everything should be re-wriiten as to get rid of what "failed" That should bring your Epic back to being an "Epic". From there, you can re-try the Boost thing - - - or not.

use odin and re-flash.. after that, do a ##RTN# that should restore it completely to as stock as you're gonna get.

No problem. I saw your post as a question about how to get your phone back to normal - - after a "questionable" procedure. Not one of how to actually do something questionable/illegal now. Once you get your phone back to normal, what you do after that is up to you! Now, with all that being said . . . . on to other things!
I think that if you find a full STOCK .tar file - not one that has been deodexed and pre-rooted - it will overlay all ROM files with Stock sprint files. I have one on my laptop at home and can post it for you when I get home from work if you haven't found one on your own by then.
Hope this helps!
Edit: You didn't, by chance, use the Epic-to-Boost switch that has been posted on this site for some time did you? If I'm not mistaken, it's still on here somewhere, so I think the "phone police" will probably leave you alone - - this time!!
odin wont touch the NV items.. thats wasted time. if you backed them up, then rewrite them.. if not.. that sucks. hopefully you can find someone who will back them up for you. sounds like you wrote an entire nv read from another phone to your epic, which is not a great idea, considering they are different phones, with different writable memory locations and whatnot. and you wrote something to the modem area which throws an exception in rtn reset... best bet is to take the file you wrote, and give those memory addresses to someone with an epic and ask them to read those addresses and see if writing their dump will help you..

I have a friend with an EPIC.. but the problem is I can't CDMA workshop to connect to my phone now.. no com port shows up in my device manager.. ODIN detects the phone, but not CDMA workshop.
