Sprite restore problem

[sydor]

I had my Kayser (TYTN2) repaired (it lost 3g connectivity).
Before sending device to approved repairer I made a backup using Sprite 6.1.

HTC replaced mainboard. I restored image from backup and now it tells me
"Incorrect password".

1. It is the same ROM, I checked
2. I do type correct password

My guess is that for whatever reason backup-restore did not drop off "password is on" flag in the registry, like it suppose to do (based on Sprite FAQ).

Could someone help me with either how to make it recognise correct PIN, or set flag to OFF, or reset PIN to some default value.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, I was trying to restore using the .exe file but it didn't work.
I then reinstalled sprite backup and restored through it, and it worked fine.

Thanks. I will try it.
Did you reinstall it on you PC or on your device?

[sydor]

I tried to restore using PC installed Sprite - "Invalid Password" reponse
and from EXE uploaded to MicroSD card - it does restore and hangs showing HTC logo.

But EXE option allows for various options. With System Databases, System Settings, File System switched OFF - it worked, but it was not what I needed.
I will keep playing with settings for a while.

Whenever you do this, make sure you are using it in Upgrade mode. Since knowing that I haven't had to do any fixing on new device restores. You can access upgrade mode through the Sprite Advance Mode options.

There are several upgrade settings.
I've set it to "Safe restore" and "Restore Databases" and "Prompt for upgrade"
Also I choose to "Delete all files" and unchecked "Restore Security settings"
It hangs again showing HTC logo.
I keep will keep playing for a while ...

I don't know what version you're using, but if you go to Option, advanced settings, Options, Restore Options & Check "Enable Device Upgrade Mode" before you restore to a new device or ROM it has always worked for me.

Thanks!

I tried nearly every possible combination of upgrade settings and got three results:
1. Wrong Password
2. Does not boot
3. Boot without file system and registry.

I gave up - reinstalled everything. Now I am waiting for activation code for CoPilot - it refuses to activate on another mainboard :-)
