New ROM XDA II - 2 little Qs! - Sprite & Re-lock danger?

[Conor]

Hi!

If I install the new o2 Rom can I then just restore a complete backup of my device made with Sprite Backup running on the old Rom?

My apologies if that question betrays terrible ignorance!

Second question - will installing the new Rom re-lock the sim to o2?

Many thanks

Conor

The phone will remain unlocked, I dont know about sprite backup because I stopped using it after it corrupted my sms on restore and locked down my sim so I couldnt receive sms.

Don't ever restore any part of the Inbox on Windows Mobile 2003. It will always become corrupt... especially the SMS account! Activesync Backup/Restore, xBackup, Sprite Backup... none will restore the Inbox accounts properly.

After a ROM upgrade , don't restore from a complete backup ... reinstall properly your softs ...

For the SIM , after upgrade, mine is always free :D
