Hi All,
I'd like to flash / upgrade my current Samsung Omnia II from Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro CE OS 5.2.21863 (Build 21863.5.0.67) into 6.5.3 so i wonder what should i do to backup the whole Windows Mobile OS ?
is there any software that can backup the mobile phone as whole ? eg. like Norton Ghost in case of the Flash-ROM failed ?
any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Best software is SPB Backup (sorry can't post link). You can make backup on device with one OS version and restore it on devise with another.
Hi,
I would recommend you to use backup just as a backup and not to use it for RomUpgrade!
If you flash a new software install everything and don´t use your backup.
You can restore SMS, Contacts and single files. But not the whole System. If you do so, your phone will be very slow and bugy.
If you want to backup the Rom you are using right now, search on Modaco for deskdump.exe
Regards
wow, thanks guys, that is so thorough and great explanation.

Hello out there!
I own a unbranded HTC P4350 currently running WM5 .
To ensure that my device will read the MicroSDHC-card (8GB would be awesome!) I want to upgrade the OS to WM 6.
I already downloaded he official ROM-Update for HTC, but:
How can I backup personal data like
- calender
- contacts
- tasks
and
- short messages(!)
quite effective? (Without Outlook perhaps?)
Like: Backup on PC, upgrade ROM, run backup => everything normal.
Although I don't synchronize my PPC with my desktop PC, I installed Outlook, to try it this way.
But only the first three items were synchonized. :-(
I don't know how to backup my SMS und MMS.
I searched the internet including this forum, but found no note about this issue.
Oh! Thank in advance for your answers, of course!
try using a program called pimbackup by some guy on this forum. think his name was dotfred. do a search and make sure you use the latest version. it's an exe, so you run it from your pocketpc. make your backup, then update, reinstall, and run the backup.
Thank you. I tried this software additionally for safety reasons.
But now I have another huge problem... :-((
But I better open a new thread for that.
i always have the problem that when i install and uninstall a software i have less storage also when i remove the files in my docs of this software
is there something like in win xp to set a restore point
or is there a install logger?
is it possible to backup all data on the device? ( reg, installed progs ...)
i use wm 6.1
thank you for ur help

Hello
Yea you can backup alldata ( or just selected options ) with something like Sprite Backup.
Works Great on Ranju's - v7.1 WM6.1 Pro - 5.2.19188 (Build 19188.1.0.0).
Tried all possible options.. No Truble so far
There are maybe other programs that do the Job just as well....SPB Backup, SKTools , Sunnysoft BackupManager and others.
Have Fun
thank you for the answer
i use ranjus rom
SK Tracker can make "snapshots" of your current system (i.e. files and registry entries) and compare them. So you can make a snapshot before and after an installation to see the differences and even restore the former state.

Hello!
You don't need to backup the installed applications, because the roms here have a lot of applications on board. If you need more apps have a look to this link.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371201
For personal things like contacts, messages .. you can usw PIM Backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705

Thanks for the reply I was in need of this kind of software due to a phone card change.

Guys, I count on your help here
I have installed Onyx micro on my Elf. Now I wnated to back it up with backup utility by dsixda, which I liked and used before with my Blue elves ROM. But on Onyx ROM I receive the following error:
Finding size of OS
size=512byte, 0x200
Error-inavlid size- You are probabaly not are using an English version of Windows XP or you have an HTC Touch clone...
My Xp is definitely English version, so I understand the problem is with clone HTC, but what does this mean? Can anybody clear this up for me, please !
Thanks in advance.
Just use PPCPimBackup for your contacts and calenders and sms.
Good enough, dont have to go and backup the whole rom.
and WHAT? You managed to install Onyx onto a fake Elf !
Wow.
I should have bought a fake ine earlier
Hahaha.
No, I have a geniune HTC Elf, so the error message is strange at least
Try another backup prog as SPB or sprite
Sprite is a full rom backup right?
You have a few choices here.
1) Google Sync
2) Myphone, which is easy and good for you.

3) PPCPIMBackup
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.
