restoring activesync's backup after rom upgrade

[pfmboidi]

Hello, I had everything backed up before starting the upgrade.
My idea was to restore everything like it was before the upgrade: messages, settings, programs etc.

After the upgrade, activesync won't restore the stg file since, it says, the device is not the same as the one the backup was made for.

Any suggestion on how to restore the back up? or to retrive the information from the stg file?

Thank you for your attention and help.

The way I got round this was to remove the partnership in active sync (must be done when device is NOT connected) - be sure not to delete settings on PC when it asks. Give the old name back to your device plug it in and then restore through active sync.
Its wise to take a copy of the backup file too, just in case!

There maybe a better way of doing it, but this works fine for me :)

great...I have deleted the settings on the pc.

I have tried with the guest account, but obviously nothing happens.

what now.

this thing sucks. Can't i just overwrite everything from the stg using stgviewer?

Anybody to share his expertise?

in my opinion follow the instrction of APRMIKE, after HArd rest. During hard rest U must do format storage "yes" and reg del "yes..and of course del. the partnership, keep the previous name same as before....";;;other wise it wil continue to give U headach... :cry: :cry: :cry: [/quote]

format storage "yes" and reg del "yes


after the hard reset?

Ok, solved half way.
It was the regional setting.
I didnt quite get what I wanted though, so I have re set everything from zero.
Is there a way to backup and choose what is that we want to restore?

thank you guys for your help!

Take a look at spb backup. An excellent backup utility that will allow scheduled backups and gives you the options to chose what to backup and restore if necessary. Also the software does not have to be installed to do a restore which saves a lot of messing about, just click the files and it does the rest :)
