Hi,
Guys, please help!!
I installed new 3.14 ROM (using HSPL) in the same way I had installed my 1.66 ROM before...
I backed up my HD2 with SPB backup and after I restored it, I keep getting "manila.exe" error message all the time and the device is crashing all the time!
What should I do? What is that manila???
Id the problem in backing up or in the installing of the new ROM?
How could I solve this manila.exe problem?
Thanx
The manila is part of the HTC Sense, and I beleive you problem is from the SPB back up. You made a pretty drastic jump from your old 1.66 ROM to the 3.14 ROM. Parts of the back up is probably not playing nice with the new ROM as it was backed up from the much older ROM. I suggest you back up all your personal informatiion you like contacts using the SPB back up bit take and move all your documents, pictures, videos, and etc to your SD card and do a hard reset. I have ne dr been a fan of SPB back up, I know it makes changing ROMs easier but it sometimes causes problems.
Thanx for the answer!
I somehow managed it to work though...
I hard reset it, then flashed ROM again, then backed it up wut without "overwrite files" option in SPB...
We'll see how it will work further...

You need to do a hard reset and reinstall all applications. SPB Backup is only useful for restoring to the same ROM version.

Following are problems I encounter:
1. This happened to me twice, my Owner PlugIn was lost in Today. Please send me the Registry for the Owner PlugIn, I'll just input it manually if possible. If I hard reset, it will come back but I don't want to reinstall again my programs.
2. Restoring from SPB backup will corrupt your O2SMSPlus. Have you experience the same?
2. I don't care what SPB says, restoring from an older ROM to a newer ROM is bad for your health! Or at least for your WM device's health. Don't do it, just restore contacts and that stuff from active sync and reinstall programs.
Thank you Mastiff for the reply. I did reinstall all the programs from scratch and not from restoring backup after the upgrade. The problem actually happens after restoring backup made from the new ROM. O2SMSPLUS is being corrupted by the restoration.

Man I also got this problem,
but dont worry take a backup of Contacks and SMS throught Jeyo mobile companion.
Its on http://www.jeyo.com If you are interested Tell me I can do registration.
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.
Reinstalling my apps (including re-entering license keys) and reconfiguring my 4 email accounts after every ROM upgrade is a bit of a PITA.
Spb Backup 2.0 says it has a ROM upgrade mode. Has anyone tried this? Does it avoid or minimize the hassle of reinstalling/reconfiguring after a ROM upgrade?
(I have no connection with Spb other than I have licenses for a few of its other software products)
I'vetried the new version of SpB BAckup, and the 'New Device' function, though not the ROM Update function.
The 'New Device' restore works well- I did a backup from my Ameo, and restored it to my Tinity; SpB correctly interrupted and asked if this was a new device, and suggested using the New Device process.
The process went well, and the Trinity came out of it with my previous Ameo programs all installed, and also the SMS messaeg store.
However, there is a problme SpB BAckup2 seems to have a problem backing up Email data with cooked WM6.1 ROMs. It seems to work OK with genuine HTC ROMs which is bizarre, but at the end of a backup of my Irun ROM Ameo (and also a colleague with a Touch Cruise with cooked WM6.1 ROM) it gives an error at the end of the process saying 'unable to read cemail.vol' which is the email folder. S, as this is not backed up, it obviously didn't restore to the Trinity
NeilM, thanks for the response.
With respect to email, my focus is on account configuration rather than the emails themselves since my accounts are either Exchange Server or IMAP.
How does SPB Backup handle the account configuration? Thanks.
With my cooked WM6.1 ROMs it doesn't handle any part of the email system.
The Email accounts are absent after a restore, calendar seems OK, but Contacts goes into a continuous loop of syncing/verifying/syncing again so looks like a lot of the Pocket Outlook sync is broken after restore.
SpB are adamant this is not a problem on all the official WM6.1 ROMs they have tried, and some users are verifying that, but I've yet to hear from any of my colleagues who have a genuine 6.1 device, and have used SpB BAckup 2.
Just for the record, SpB Backup 1.6 gives me the same errors.
I’ve being using Spb Backup 1.6.3 on all cooked rom from here and never encountered any of the issue. After upgraded to Spb Backup 2, thought that it will safe time when restoring to another rom but no luck. Even tried restoring back to same rom it stop dead at restoring registry. Well, back to 1.6.3 till they fix it.

My query about the email problems just prompted the response that it was working fine with WM6.1 so the problem is due to my cooked ROM.
Did you try Options and disabling the 'Stop Processes before backup' option? That seems to have worked for some people.
ROM upgrade mode is practically impossible afaik but not sure how SPB is going to work. It didnt work for me either. Actually the files in ROM are sometimes impossible to get copied ir backed up.
For example, I tried Ultra Lite ROM where ozVGA is there and then restored in Irus' Modded Taxist ROM which doesnt have ozVGA but RealVGA. Guess what? All icons vanished!

Carty..
Yes done that too and still hath (gold cube stop revolving) during registry restoring.
If it only works for some people, I rather stick to the previous version.
Usually I don’t keep any mail in the device, therefore unable to give any feedback.
Have done a few hard reset and restore. This is what I did.
1. Select customize restore and restore only the reg without any others. This way, the reg will be able to restore fully into the device. Then perform a soft reset once complete.
2. Select customize restore and restore the rest less the reg. This way it will be able to complete the restore. Then perform a soft reset.
That's it. Is kinda stupid in a way as you need to restore it 2 times.
Bear in mind that this works with the AP4.
I just flash the rom to AP5, and it doesn't even work. It just hang in the backup screen. Sigh!!!
I've been thinking about playing with 6.5 beta but, I got my 6800 running really well with 6.1, Just wondering if there is anything that will do a full rom backup with all settings/apps/contacts/e-mail, etc that can be just quicky restored incase of problems or just need my phone back the way it was ?
Thanks !
SPBBackup will do this, however if you make a major OS update, the restore may not work. But you can play around/test 6.5, and afterwards, flash back to the 6.1 rom you were running and then restore your backup and it should be exactly like it was before you flashed 6.5.
You can try the restore on 6.5, but because of the major changes, it will most likely fail.
There is no 'transparent' backup, SPB is as close as it gets, and it's not perfect.

Thanks, it sounds like a reasonable work-around to be safe. I also as it will back up reg keys, certs, etc, I think it would do what I need....
Hi.
A friend of mine is wondering to try a Rom, a cooked Rom from Daskalos.
But he is afraid that if he doesn't like the Rom, he will lose all the programs and application that he as installed on the current Rom.
So what i want to ask you if it's possible to restore someway the "things" that he have on the current rom, maybe using some kind of programs.
Thx to all
