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

Proper way to backup everything before flashing roms?

First time user, long time lurker...
I am new to the Android world and have had my Eris since about a month after it came out. I followed the guides and got the rooted 2.1 rom onto my phone. I figured I was fine with that and began installing all my apps again, setting my screens up, etc etc... I then read some more on these forums and decided I wanted to get the recovery partition and the 2.1 v0.3 custom rom. I lost everything (obviously).
Soo.. my question is, is there a proper way to backup all my apps before flashing custom roms in the future? Is it the NAND backup within the recovery image? Also, once the custom rom is flashed, what is the proper way to restore? Looking for a bit of guidance here. Thanks everyone!
That's a good question, I just got rooted and am about to do the rest, but don't want to lose anything
ok when u make a nandroid or BART backup it only backs up that build ur on at the time of the back up. no u cant restore the the backup after u flash a new rom and get the new rom plus ur apps. if u flash a new rom ur pretty much at a start over thing. but the market actually remembers what apps u have downloaded and will actually show them all in downloads or give u a notification that u have updates waiting.
now if u do a nandroid or BART restore it will flash ur entire backup over the new rom u installed. they way i and most others go about flashing and backing up is like this:
first: do a nandroid or BART backup of builds uve setup already and have all ur stuff setup on. sometimes ur gonna flash a builsd and run it for a few days or something and maybe decide u liked the older build better. so u got that nandroid/bart backup to always fall back on.
second: before u flash any new rom u gotta understand some builds are signed with different keys and thus will at times cause issues with apps and such. so before every new rom flash. do a wipe to both data and dalvik-cashe
third: flash the update.zip from the sdcard and enjoy. if u have issues with a build always before saying screw it and doing the nandroid. do a second wipe and see if that fixes some of the issues u may have had with that rom. if u still have issues or wanna go back to that rom u made a nandroid/bart backup of. just go into recovery and do a nandroid/Bart restore choose the one u want and restore away
Thanks for the detailed answer glad my first post was a good question lol

New ROM over OLD ????

Hi I'm a nubie,
Could anyone tell me I added my 1st rom over the weekend which was succesful apart from the fact my orientation on the screen is not working.
I have been told to try a few more roms to see if this is the phone or the ROM (My feeling is that its the ROM) as it was working fine beforehand.
Can somebody tell me if I need to delete the old ROM 1st prior to installing the new modded ROM?
Also if I went back to my original 3uk factory ROM would I need to go through the Gold Card all over again?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Ray
not directly rom dev related, therefore moved to q&a
next time pls search first for solutions and only then post possibly rom related problems (orientation issue sounds like one) in the specific rom thread
best
you didn't even tell us what rom you are using, and yet you want a solution for your problem.
and what do you mean by "delete old rom", you cannot delete it once flashed to your phone.
Excuse me but I'm only new to this so my apologies. My details are as below.
Firmware is shown as 1.5 on my phone and the ROM I downgraded to was build number HTC 2.73.405.5, as I had to download my firmware I was told before I could up upload any ROMS which has proved succesful.
With regards to deleting my old ROM I presumed when I copied that over to my SD card it would stil be on my SD card when i uploaded a new one?
Regards Ray
Sorry, I also meant to ask do I complete the wipe option every time I upload a new ROM?
So AFTER you downgraded your ROM, you then installed a custom ROM yeah??? Or no?
What was the last one you "uploaded"?
Yes it is best to do a full wipe when switching ROMs. Sometimes when updating to a newer version of the same ROM it is not necessary to do a wipe but it will say in the notes of that ROM.
.... And you will only need your goldcard again if you install a ROM using one of the official RUU .exe files.
But if you want to go back to a branded 3uk ROM I'd suggest using the pre-rooted one from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero,.. No need for your goldcard then, and keeps the custom recovery console on so you can switch and change your ROMs.
Yes, I did put aHreo onto my phone but it wasnt working properly so I done a restore when I restarted my phone pressing home and menu using the installed software which in turn put it back to my downgraded HTC ROM version Build 2.73.405.5 (Hopefully I havent gone back to an official RUU as you describe). If so how would I know this? would it be when I try to update another unofficial ROM?
As it now has me worried !!!

Yes, of course. I did the exact same thing 2 weeks ago when I got my new white X10!
Make a nandroid backup on the old phone, then power it off, take out the SD card and put in the new phone.
If you are on stock ROM, make sure you flash the same firmware version on the new one and then Root, install xRec and then restore your backup.
If you are on custom ROM, update it via PC Companion to the latest version, flash the correct baseband if needed, then Root, install xRec and then restore your backup.
You should be fine.
Thank you very "My_Immortal"
Did exactly what you explained; works like a charm!!!

[Q] Using CWM to recover a gingerbread backup from an ICS rom?

Is this possible? The full details are I had my phone stolen, and got a new one with android 4.0.4 on it. I have on my computer a copy of my latest backup of my old cognition gingerbread rom. Can I just use CWM to recover to my old rom, or do i need to first downgrade to a gingerbread rom, and then recover?
Thankyou very much for assistance
Edit: Also, I don't actually want to use the old rom, I just need the contacts it saved, afterwards I'll wipe everything and install a clean ICS mod. In case there's any way of doing this without having to revert
You'll probably need to restore the backup with a version of CWM close to the one the backup was made with, you can often have problems restoring if you're using a CWM version a lot (say 12 mths or more) newer than the one you made the backup with.
So I'd probably go GB/with a rooted GB kernel first, restore the backup & go from there. I mean, it could work first try with an ICS kernel that's running a recent CWM build, but there's a fair chance it won't.
Edit - And be really careful with stock 4.0.4, don't do a wipe while you're running that.
Wow. I just... wow.
Ok, so I did the stupid thing and just tried to restore my old backup without doing proper downgrading first and it ended up soft bricking my machine, couldn't get recovery mode up, but I got into download mode. So I downloaded my country's stock gingerbread rom from samsung's site and flashed it with odin just to see what happens, and somehow my old rom was working again, and I have all my contacts and data. saved everything up to google, upgraded to ICS, import.
Everything went better than expected.
Thanks for the help
Told you Important thing is you managed to fix it yourself without asking silly questions in Q&A. Not many people seem to be able to do that these days.
Well done. I'm glad you got it sorted
Edit -You're welcome
