Spb Back up HELP!!!!

[lashonp]

So I backed up my phone after I found it wouldn't sync to save my contacts and all. Bricked my phone, got a replacement. NOW THE PROBLEM is that when I restore, my device lock comes up but the code (which I remember) doesn't work.

Is there a file I can NOT restore so I can get the contacts and rest back?

Man I miss my Treo, Palm Desktop was beautiful. Microsoft SUCKS :mad:

Oops. You're going through something which I too have been through. But,now there is a solution. Run that backup file exe. Go to 'tools'(right soft key)//advance options//tick 'dont restrore password'

Do tell me if u r successful in getting ur stuff back

PS: was going to sleep and posted this via wifi. really felt that u r in trouble ;)

Ok, see once I run it, turn the phone on, the device lock comes up and I'm stuck. The only options it gives is to cancel. How many times can I put this thing back to factory settings before I brick it? Walk me through this like I'm stupid! LOL I thank you for responding, seriously!

After I this, I gotta do the memory increase... grrrr

You wont be bricking the phone that way at all ;) Do a forced hardreset(both softkeys+softreset button)

Now, follow these steps

1)click on the backup exe file
2)go to tools>dont restore password
3)also uncheck stop all processes
4)dont go in for 'full backup'. Do a custom restore and select only PIM and my documents from it.

you can always install the programs after that because IMHO the PIM data is far more important

keep us updated

OOps didn't even do the hard reset just did the back up options and it worked! ty I would've been upsetting myself trying different scenarios on my own so I appreciate this! Chick be dying without them numbers ya dig? Oh my calendar. I will be back this up to my storage card EVERY WEEK or day if need be, cause this was so wrong.:D


Now to fix the damn memory issue...I know the thread is up and they say it is good...

hi i am also using htc herald, i just flashed my ROM and the new rom is working fine. However i tried to backup my stuffs using spb backup, and i chose full restore(which including system setting may be) and since then my phone just wont boot up, only 1 screen showing smart mobility is appearing constantly. Do this have anything to do with me flashing the phone? And what are the solutions can i try? Thanks a lot

SPB backup doesnt let you upgrade/downgrade between ROMs. To be on the safe side, just restore PIM+my documents after ROM upgrade.

Follow the steps exactly the same way I've listed in my previous post
