tomtom2 favourites - how to backup before unlocking/upgrade?

[riiidaa]

Hi

I need to know how to backup tomtom2 favourites before unlocking and then upgrading to 1.60 uk official rom update please?

Any help would be great as I'd like to do this today

I've just done exactly this and didn't have any problems with loosing my favorites

This is what I did (can't guarantee it will work for you but it did for me!)

Sync your files with the PC

Copy all the files to a new folder (i.e. making a backup copy of them)

Run the unlock tool.

Run the update.

Create new partnership and sync up (don't copy the saved filed yet)

Reinstall all your applications (i.e. TTN2) (via the activesyn add/remove programs)

Soft Rest XDAII

Sync (with files option selected)

Now copy backed up files to the new sync folder on the desktop and resync the XDA II

this should now mean the old settings are now transferred to the new rom and the favorite locations will be saved

Hi mate #

thx for the reply but can you tell me where this data is kept? What file etc... As I have sync'ed but i dont see any files that overtly look like tt2 files....

Cheers in advance

I've taken the plunge, unlocked it and updating as I type... Fingers crossed, did a full backup before hand using active sync, not sure if using restore is a great idea tho?

On my XDA II the TTN2 settings appear to be saved in the My Documents folder (i.e. the one that's sync'ed with the desktop). On mine the exact folder is called "Tom Tom Navigator Settings" and contains 2 files one that appears to be used for the program as a whole whilst the other appears to be linked to the Map (Great Britain in my case)

Hope it works for you.
