Anybody know how to backup an RSU? I know XDATools can backup your ROM, but does it get your RSU too?
NO it doesn't
If you find an answer to how to reflash a radio upgrade once it has gone kaputt. Let me know

Is it safe to restore old rom after rom upgrate with sprite backup 5.0 or 5.1?Saw the sprite with rom upgrate restore funtion,anyone here can guide how to use the correct funtion..thanks..
No, isn't safe. After a new upgrade always you must set up your device from the beginning. I know, it requires time but it's the safest way.
Thanks Bill....
Hi, my brother is getting his xda 2 back and has asked me to install wm5 in it.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to simunlock his phone first, his phone is locked to smart philippines?
2. Is there anyway to backup his original rom, so i can flash it back in case he wants to downgrade back?
3. does upgrading your phone to wm5, simlock the phone again?
4 .Is it true that wm5 has problems regarding pocketie, camera button and loss of camera resolution?
Thanks in advance
1/3 roms and simlocks are never connected what so ever
changing rom will not sim lock or unlock (unless a tool to do so is autoloaded)
2 not sure what ppl mean if you have rom 1.72 and install 2005 and then install a 1.72 again you are back to your own rom not sure why one would want to backup the rom one had rather then just installing the same version again...
but if you mean your data then you can just use xbackup or spirite backup or activesync backup and restore that backup when you revert back to the rom version you had first.
4 if you read it in the 2005 forum and ppl dont have a fix you can find using search function then i guess so.
2. I wanted to restore the original rom, as in the rom itself. Just to be on the safe side.
the rom on your device is == 100% the same as the same rom version from the same operator's install files for that rom
so if you have 1.72 from tmobile and install 2005 and then get tmobiles install files for 1.72 and install that you have 100% the same device
with digital things everything is 0's and 1's
so there cant! be any difference between the rom from tmobile 1.72 you have and if you install 1.72 rom from tmobile
there is no hardcoded stuff which makes the rom of your device uniqe compared to every other device with the same rom
everything you need to know

but my friend phone is not the same rom like i have
he got
1.31
1.21
1.31
and i take his backup and put in my device
so its not good or my rom and every thing will stay the same (i tried and now ilook at my device info its says my friend info)
so its only write that i have other rom but i still got my???
is that ok
sorry for the question my english not that good
well, technically speaking, if you were to overwrite everything into your phone, it should work as well. What backup software is he using though?
Look My Friend Got The Same Jasjam Like Me
He Got Imate Rom I Got Htc New Rom
I Wanted The Original Language From His Original Rom So I Put Spb Back Up And Make Back Up
I Took The Back Up To My Phone And Run It
So I Got Every Thing He Got Like Vthe Original Language
But I See That My Device Info Also Change To His Info
I Thing Its Only The Info It Cant Change The Ro Or Stuff Like That?
I upgraded my device to a new ROM. I did full backup with SPB Backup when I had an old ROM. Will I still have the new ROM after restoring backup? Or it changes to old ROM?
One of the backup software can be used for ROM upgrading. Check the forum on the backup guide by Menneisyys (I think).
I have found only one backup software which have posibility restore after ROM ugrade, it was Sprite backup 5.1. I tried it. It works but very bugy... I was need reinstal all programs manualy...

did you follow the upgrade mode faq? most ppl dont thats why the restores buggy. If you follow the faq from start to finish (including backing up the oldROM without pop accounts) then the restore should be perfect after a ROM upgrade

Yes, that's what I do. I use spb sprite myself but there are other good backup software. After trying a new ROM, if I decide to go back I simply flash back the previous ROM, and do a restore.
mickey.lez, as eaglesteve mentions, there are other alternatives. I use SPB Backup. It has a ROM upgrade mode. That way, when I change ROMs, which I do more often here than changing underwear , I don't have to reinstall my software and email settings. And of course, if you want to revert to a prior ROM as you ask, you can do that too.
Another program for backup is Rescobackup , a simple program that you can set your data to backup and etc... but after i install un-official ROMs on my unit , it doesn't work properly and crash on every restore ...
But with official ROM working very well
I'm going to test SPB backup
thank's you all
i'll try it away and tell you what have done
flash back to WHAT previous ROM?

That's good, but how can I arrange to have the 'previous ROM' available to flash back? I don't have another copy of the ROM contents that came with the machine.
Thanks for all you do!
I know the radio does not get backed up with a nandroid, but is there any other way to back it up?
Since the radio cant be changed maybe you could just reflash that if you can find that file specific. I know with my other phone I could just reflash that file.
