Hi all,
i have a HD mini, now i have a good room, and the rom is personnalizing, and i would want to export this rom, for i can flash it for later...but i don't know to do that for generating the rom?
(Sorry for my english)
I think your better of making a back up of your entire device.
I did this with sprite backup, it creates a self executing file, no install of sprite needed.
I think it'll save you heaps of time and work

I am wondering if there would be a problem restoring a full backup to a different ROM with SK tools backup.. Give it that is form WM6 to another WM6. For example, I have Helmi's WM6 ROM and I want to flash to xplode's WM6 ROM.
It "may" be OK, but I wouldn't do it. Usually is a bad idea to restore a backup to a different cooked ROM (by the way, xplode one is 6.1, not 6).
The SPB Backup 2.0 is advertise as restoring backups to a different ROM version, but I didn't try it...yet... "Starting with version 2 it allows you to restore your data after ROM upgrade or on another device. With the desktop Backup Sync tool you can save your backups on desktop in automatic manner for later archive review or restoring on another device."
If you are decide to flash a new ROM, you can let as know if the backup work or not.
I will try it tonight, though I'm very wary as I don't want get stuck with hours of flashing back and forth.
spb backup
I am used the spb backup 2.0. It's really a very good backup system.
Try it, or look a demo Here!
So does the SPB Backup actually back up all your installed programs, register codes and stuff?
It's really annoying to try a ROM, install all your stuff, then decide you want to try another ROM only to have to re-re-re-reinstall everything.
Unless you belong to the type of people that think its a good Idea to put desel in a lead free petrol car or think that drink toilet cleaner will help with bad breath, I would not suggest using a back up of one device rom version to another. (even less if you want to from one device to another).
The issue here are the system files as they can be part of your back up (CAN as in its up to you to define) and the version of these files can be different,
The best praxis is always to syn your data (contacts, my docs) over your PC.
As for backup tools for things like Call logs you shuld try Dotfred pim backup

This has worked fine for me in the past (with in the same rom Version).
My thoughts, how ever it might work fine for you, again it might be also be fine for you to have a brick. Myself I would follow best praxis
Hi Guys,

This topic is a perennial. There are many definite opinions on the wisdom of doing this, with some people absolutely sure that it simply won't work ...
BUT
1) make sure you have HardSPL installed 1st, before any cooked ROM upgrade
2) backup your Registry with a Registry program (eg PHM Registry). This is purely a last line of defence if you have to revert to the original ROM
3) backup to your micro-SDHC card with either Spb Backup 2.0.1 or Sprite 6.2.2. I use both for "belt and braces" security
4) flash cooked ROM of choice
5) use backup from 3) to restore over ROM upgrade. Mostly I have found the Sprite restore with Merge Level 1 + database restore to work OK, but the Spb restore with Overwrite files unchecked will probably work just as well
If in the end, none work properly, then just revert to your original ROM and use 3) backups for a full restore ... no harm done !!
I have done this many times on both a Polaris and an X500. Sometimes it doesn't work (eg. the earlier swtos and pdaviet Polaris ROM's) but I eventually found ROM upgrades for both devices that did work. Occasionally for the Polaris I found some Registry entries repeated - eg. \HKLM\Control Panel\MyCtrl - but these are easily deleted.
Be adventurous - you can easily revert if it stuffs up.
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.

Hi all,
i've searched for thread talking about backup solutions, but no one talk about something like Nandroid for Android device, that is a complite image of the phone.
I come from an HTC Hero phone, and this function was really important explecially when i wanna try other ROM.
Now with HD2, there are more ROMs and my tentation to try all is blocked by the fact that if i don't like them, i must re-install all the device (Rom, Apps, Tweaks, PIM...).
With the HTC Hero, in case i didn't like a ROM, in boot mode i selected "Nandroid Restore" and in 5 minutes the phone return exactely as before try the new ROM.
Is there any possibility to create somethig like this for our Leo?
Thank in advance. (and sorry for my english)
complete backup solution
SPB Backup does save EVERYTHING from your phone including ROM !
I once had to restore my HTC HD (after ROM change) from my SPB complete Backup .exe file and the phone was set back to the previous setup completely including the previous ROM.
If you look here:
http://www.spb.com/pocketpc-software/clone/
they are also developing a pure CLONE tool.

Just wanted you to know in case you will need it in the future. I was looking for an easy to use and effective backup tool and I came across SPB Backup which is simply great as it creates an EXE file with the backup of all your content (contacts, programs, registry keys, messages, etc.) - if you flash your ROM or you move to a new HD2 all you have to do is copy the EXE file onto your device (or storage card) and run it and... that's all . I was playing a lot with some custom ROMs lately and this little tool saved me a lot of time. Really great soft - just make sure that if you move to a completely different firmware you might need to restore only soma data but it's so user friendly that it shouldn't be a problem, there are also restore profiles (new ROM, new device, etc.) so it's automatic. Here's a like to the producer's website: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/ - just don't think it's an advertisement or smth as I have nothing to do with them - it's just a great piece of soft imho so I thought it was worth sharing.
I also think this is thebest ROM (closest to stock) - Leo lite 2.10/1.66 base: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621070&highlight=576 - I just added Cookie's Home Tab Editor, a great tool that let's you add new tabs to your home screen etc. - you'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590. Here's a great video: http://www.youtube.com/v/aqOINVb5YNI
Hi
will it allow you to restore your original ROM
if yes how it can write on the read only memory without breaking the rom protection. How it can write on the read only memory.
Best regards
no it won't install rom..only your phone files, make sure you have a stock rom for your phone, usally the provider will have a update rom to download, download it , install it then backup your phone, if you have to resore your phone you have to install rom the run your backup restore
