[Q]Backup Rom and Registry - Windows Mobile

1---How can I completely backup the Rom of my W.M. 6 Device?
I want to try a new Rom but I'm sure I will flash again my old Rom.
I read about "SPB Backup" but it only backup Data and Programs (not the whole Rom)...
2---How can I backup the registry ?
Thanks

Maybe you didn't understand me, I'm not looking for a Task Manager

i did understood you, and if you would have checked what I've proposed you would note that the FDC task manager has many functions, including export and import the registry.
I hope it helps.

Sorry ypsmav, I didn't found that when I read the characteristics of FDC Task Manager...
thanks...
But a software or a way to Backup the whole original Rom?

Removing Applications???

Hi,
I recently installed 'Kick off slot machine' game on my XDA mini s and when i go to 'remove programs' it wont remove it. I've tried soft reseting.
How can i get rid of it?
Can i just go into file explorer and delete the files in its program folder?
yes but u would be better off removing the reg entries aswell allthough it wont cause harm.
tried removing using active sync , add remove programs , as sometimes that works for me where the one on the device does not work.
I have found that quite often uninstalls just don't work. For example, before I resorted to a recent hard reset, I had only a few megs of RAM available. Turns out it was because although it "appeared" that such things had been uninstalled, they had in fact not been uninstalled.
The way I do it now, and I reckon this is the only way to do it, is to go to Add/Remove programs in Activesync and uncheck the box of the app/game to be removed. This seems to work (even on apps installed by CAB or on other machines).

Ok thanks.
By the way, how do you find and delete reg entries? Which folder are they stored in?
Use SK Tools, it is the best soft for cleaning and everything
-www.s-k-tools.com
You'll need something like PHM Regedit, or I use Total Commander. I'm no expert but you'll be able to get help with registry keys etc here.
Alternatively, purchase MemMaid which (I think) removes redundant registry entries.
Oh ok, thanks very much.
Just one more quick question, if you install something, remove it, then decide you want it installed again does it just overwrite the previously created reg entries?

I was using this amazing application but after it's installation i was unable to uninstall any program from "Add/Remove Programs". Not even S-K Tools. The only solution was a hard reset. Do you have anything on mind for this issue?
P.S: The version i was using: 2.2.10
Yes, developer knows about this, he said, new version fixed.
I have ver.2.3.15.6 and tested, good things, Backup is working in WM5.

Hi, was wondering does it backup contacts and have you tried restoring after hard reset?
Yes, I did. The only one problem, SK Tools made funny records about
installed software, so in the list, You have only what was installed after
You installed SK Tools. I think it was already fixed, but didn't test it.
thanks fresh123breeze,
think i'll go for it. its not a lot to pay for what it claims it can do.

Several questions

Q1: What processor is used for Trinity (ARM, MIPS or SH3) ?
Q2: What causes doubled icons in Programs - when i installed ICQ two icons appeared in my programs menu: "ICQ" and "ICQ (1)". How can i fix this ?
Q3: Is there any equivalent for "regedit" for mobile phones ?
Thanks in advance.

1. ARM
2. Sounds you like you might already have it installed? Older version perhaps?
3.Yes, try this.

About the ICQ - it is the current beta version - it is not old.
BTW. I was looking for registry tool to check whether dublicated icons can be fixed this way
Thanks

I meant perhaps you had two versions of ICQ installed. But at any rate, if you just want to delete one of the duplicate icons for ICQ, you won't need to edit the registry.
tap Start -> Programs -> open File Explorer -> navigate to the Windows folder -> Start Menu -> Programs. Now, delete the duplicate.

PHM Registry Editory does definitely work. You need to choose the one for you device.
I've attached the one you need.
Awesome --- PC (exe) autoinstaller does not work i.e. does not pick the right version and i didn't know what the abbreviatures mean (mrln, jup, wyv)
I will risk to get very annoying but i will ask You just one more question.
Can You recommend me antivirus program for this device?

I can't suggest anything from personal experience. I haven't bothered with any antivirus for my device. However, I have heard some positive things about "avast!". Here's a link to theirs. It looks like you can try it out for a couple months.
i'll try it.
Thanks ... You've been very kind.
No problem. I'm glad to help.

The registry values for the blackstone dialer, for some reason, have stayed in your registry even after you uninstalled it... Its no biggie, just open the cab you installed it with WinCE CAB Manager (or equivalent software) and check the values it entered in your registry. Then use a Registry editor to restore the normal values.
Same goes for comm manager.
sigh..
still cant work this out..
any more suggestions?
thanks
try using sktools to clean the registry

wm6.1 to WWE 6.5 and SPB Backup

Hello, i have HTC Topaz and as the new official HTC ROM WWE 6.5 is available i want to upgrate my htc rom wm6.1 to WWE 6.5.
But when i will install this new rom all my data, program will delete in my phone.
So re-installing all programs, choose settings ... is very boring to do! That is why i want to know if i will be able to use SPB Backup (2.0.2) to recover programs, settings, and data after the upgrade.
Or if can't use SPB Backup, please give me if it is possible an other solution.
Thanks
Restoring an old configuration on a different ROM from which it was created will hardly work correctly, it is not recommended to do that. The best you can do is use PIM backup to at least restore contacts, appointments, sms, mail..
PIM Backup is just an example, any othe commercial Backup software will do the job but ONLY if you choose to make a partial backup of your personal information, NOT the system configuration.
You can also try MyPhone (http://myphone.microsoft.com/) for all your Contacts, SMS, Task, Emails and Data etc...
Thanks.

Doesn't solve the problem: you cannot restore a WM6.1 configuration on a WM6.5 ROM, data will be lost on the way. There could be apps or tweaks working in WM6.1 that are incompatible with WM6.5, is Myphone going to "repair" them??
Thanks for all, your solutions (PIM backup, my phone) allow me to backup contacts, appointments, sms, mail...
But for programs i should to re-install alls or there is any solutions?
If there is no issues, can i use the .cab of WM6.1 for WM6.5?
In particular, for IGO and Tomtom, are they working with WM6.5?
I suggest to reinstall the programs. For compatibility issues, just try it by yourself! Install every single app and see if it works..or read the forum..I think that there shouldn't be any problem with the navigators you mentioned.

This is basically true, but Spb Backup 2 has a quite particular feature: you can restore your system even on a different device and (!) on the same device after you upgraded your ROM. I tried it and it worked. Extremely useful!

I'm out, I'm too happy with my Topaz config at the moment to make experiments. Besides, SPB backup doesn't work with my rom/device, I use Sprite.
However, if WM 6.5 does not like me, is it possible to come back with WM6.1 (HTC Official ROM FR of 21 july 2009)? and how to do (is a hardspl is needed as I downgrade)? Does the device will still guarantee?
Thank you

The question if offtopic here, but the answer is YES. If you downgrade to an official original 6.1 ROM for your phone you won't need HSPL. For warranty reasons, you should relock your phone by removing HSPL. Read carefully the sticky threads (that's what they made for )

[Question] How to backup complete ROM FROM HD2?

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.
