I have i-mate (( XDAII ))
my rom is T-Mobile 1.60.00
i can't restore my last backup witch i was do it after upgrading
i'm suring for that, plaese try that then help meeeee
i'm waiting for you
That's right, you can't restore the backup you made with the old ROM version.
The backup software sees your machine as another device.
Just reinstall the software you had on it and resync Outlook, should be no big problem.
Best thing to do if you want to upgrade, is copying al the documents that are on you XDA and are not synced to your PC.
You could go back to the old ROM, restore your backup, copy the items you need and upgrade again.
Hello
it is possible re-install mediaplus without having to re-install the rom?
thanks! Ciao
There is no installer for this as this is built-in to the ROM. Building the cab for this would take some time though. I would suggest you backup your contacts using PPCBckpContacts to save your contacts, tasks, appointments, speed dials, call logs. And use Jeyo SMS backup for your SMS backup.
Ciao!
Maybe you could describe what's wrong first, you may possibly not need a reinstallation...

when I approach the Mediaplus, FM radio, or Wireless Manager, appear the written " skin file are corrupted, Mediaplus exits! ". I would want to avoid to make the hard reset in order re-install all the programs!
Media Center Skin
I don't know if we have the same ROM structure. In my XDA Atom, the Media Center Skin is found in the hidden Extended ROM. If by any chance, you have removed this, OR modified one of the files, it can cause this problem.
I'm not sure if we have the same Media Center Skin, BUT I have attached mine from XDA Atom.
1. Backup first your original Media Center Skin using Activesync
2. Replace your Media Center Skin with the attached files
3. Soft-reset your device
BTW, you can backup your settings, programs, and everything else USING Spb Backup OR Sprite Backup; SO, you don't have to install each program you used AFTER a HARD RESET.
Same thing happen to me.
I want to know what you installed to your system prior the crashed.
I have this problem after installing the broadband TV programs. Did you install any?
BTW Did you restore the files successfully?
I want to try out different roms and different configurations, nut for that I would like to fully backup my device because its currently very well configured and i dont want to lose it. So if i mess something up or i dont like any other configuration then i shoul revert back and EVERYTHING is exactly as i left it
Whats the best solution/program to archive that?
How would I be able to test different roms but not losing my primary conf?
Please help
Thankts in advance.
Assuming you have your existing ROM image available to reflash, I'd personally recommend spb Backup. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
Although its not free it will do a complete system dump to a self extracting file.
I have used it on several occassions to go back to WM5 from WM6 ROMs.
It can NOT be used to restore between ROM versions though.
Simply use it to backup your existing system to an SD card and try out your new ROM. If you decide to go back, reflash to your original ROM and then run the backup .exe file from the SD card. This will give you the desired effect.
Sprite backup is also a good alternative to spb Backup apparently but I haven't personally tried it. http://www.spritesoftware.com

bit confused...
i went to htc's website and downloaded alltel's RUU and ran it on my 6800. after i did this i was looking at the screen shot on the webpage (http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=63&act=sd) and my ROM version didnt change, but the radio and the ROM date did... i called htc and they couldnt help me.
now, if this is a stupid noob question just tell me- i know i just dont know a lot about my phone yet. but could someone explain this to me?
what were you running before??
****... 2.something for the radio. my ROM is stock...im just iffy about upgrading my ROM after reading about so many bugs and things with many of these custom roms out
In your Device Information screen, what does it show for ROM version and Radio version?

It looks like maybe the radio flashed properly and the ROM flash did not fully complete. Try running the RUU.exe again. You said you ran the RUU on your 6800...you don't really mean that, do you? You should run the RUU on your PC with the 6800 attached to the USB cable.
I suspect he needs to Unlock his phone with Ollipro 2.4, then he should be able to Flash any radio compatible ROM, like DCD 3.0.4....
To be honest, I think it was just a bad install of the alltel update. I'd say first try and run the update again and see if the proper rom version shows up.
He still needs to unlock with 2.40 in order to flash a custom rom, but there's no reason why it shouldn't have updated his rom version if he went from alltel stock to alltel update with the alltel updater package.
alright i ran that RUU from htc again (yes, on my comp- just bad use of words in my earlier post) and now eveything is up to date. i am using spb backup, and the first time i ran the RUU i didnt check the Device Info until after i ran the backup, so does anyone know if running the spb backup after updating the ROM would for some reason change it back to an older version (somehow)???
its either that or my install the first time was just bad, but i did everything exactly the same the second time except i havent run the spb backup yet...
thanks for the help though, i do appreciate it
You should never use sbp backup when changing roms. That's what UC is for, and now that UC is incorporated into dcd's roms, it's awesome.
If you need to backup your PIM data, use something like PIMbackup and then restore your PIM data after the flash.
this is just one reason why this website is better than any of our services' customer service centers.
but could you tell me what exactly UC stands for...google couldnt help me with that one.
obviously its like talking to a middleschooler to me when it comes to some of this stuff...but thanks again
i was too impatient- i found it....does anyone know if the route i should take in order to keep my old settings but get the updated rom would be to run SPBBackup now (putting the old settings back but moving back to the old rom), then running UC and PIM backup to save my settings, then run the RUU again, and then just run UC and PIMBackup. ---would that work?
No that will not work. Spb backup does NOT flash back to the old rom if used this way, instead it just screws everything up if you use it when going from one rom to another. For instance, if you flash to dcd 3.0.4, and use spb backup...then hard reset (keeping the same rom) using spb backup is perfectly fine for restoring stuff. If you have 3.0.4 and use spb backup and then go to 3.0.5 (no such thing), if you use spb backup, it will not flash you back to your 3.0.4 rom, but will only screw everything up and will not work. Hopefully I explained it well enough. PIMbackup, however, can be used going from rom to rom as it only backs up PIM data which is not rom sensitive data. UC is only run when you boot a new rom for the first time, and can do anything from installing all your software for you, changing registry keys, moving/copying files etc.
SPB and Sprite do not back up the ROM itself, but do back up some system files. If you run a restore from SPB or Sprite after a ROM update, you risk writing some old format system files and settings over top of the new ROM files. Not a good idea as it leaves your device in an inconsistent state. For example, with the Sprint 3.35 ROM flash, a Sprite restore from the old ROM version will remove the Rev A setting from the EPST. Not just turn it off, but actually delete the setting completely.
It is best to re-install your programs after the new ROM flash, then restore your data either from a PIM backup, or through syncing to your desktop Outlook. You can also safely do a Sprite restore if you choose ONLY the "Personal Databases". If SPB has an equivalent setting it should also be safe.
If the only copy you have of your data is in your SPB backup, and you did not sync it to Outlook on a PC, and SPB does not have a personal databases only restore, your options are
1. re-enter everything that you can remember manually; or
2. find another 6800 that is still on the old ROM and restore your backup to it, then create a PIM backup that you can load onto your 6800; or
3. use the Titan relocker, reflash the old ROM, restore your backup, do a PIM backup, install Olipro 2.40 bootloader, reflash the new ROM, restore your PIM backup.
If you are in this situation and you choose door number 3, realize that several users, including very knowledgeable ones, have bricked phones attempting to go back from the new GPS ROMs to the pre-GPS ROMs.
edit: any way you do it, you will not be able to safely restore your settings, only your data. All programs, settings, registry edits, etc. have to be re-installed or re-entered after flashing a new ROM.
I was cursed recently with a bad charge mini usb port on my phone. I had bought it from ebay but took it to Verizon and they are sending me a new one to replace it for free. It is the Titan xv6800. The problem is I would love to just make an image of my phone and place it on the new one like one would do with the computer. Is that possible and if so how do ya do it?
Not sure about making a complete image, but you can copy the pim.vol from the root folder to your memory card. You want have your settings but you will have calender, contacts, ect.
Refer to this thread:

backs up contacts, notes, messages (including email), call history. I have used it successfully many times
SPB backup is my choice. you just need to be sure that the current rom on your phone matches the rom on your replacement. if you're using a custom rom, make sure you flash the same rom. if you're using a stock rom from verizon, make sure the versions match or you flash the correct version. i used dcd 3.2.5 and make consistent backups with SPB because i know that i wont be changing my rom. it doesnt create an 'image' necessarily back it backs up all your files, settings, contacts, system folders..everything on your phone. i actually reflashed today and restored my most recent backup to have everything the same in one easy step. you can get a trial of SPB backup and solve your issue. you wont need to install SPB backup on your new phone as it creates a self extracting archive.
