HELP: Restoring Sprite Backup after ROM upgrade

[jorgim]

Hello,

i have a great problem :eek:. First i made a backup with Sprite BAckup and my kaiser had:
ROM: 1.56.412.4
Radio: 1.27.12.11

Then I did an ROM upgrade to:
ROM: 3.29.00.00
Radio: 1.65.17.56
Protocol: 25.83.40.02H

That was ok, and then y restore the Sprite backup, but i think it changed the OS registry or another item, but when it power off and now i try to power on the kaiser it doesn't work, i view only the HTC symbol, but no the windows mobile 6.1 logo.

It' doesn't connect by Active Sync and i can't do anything with it.

Could anybody help me, please?????? :confused: :confused:

Regards
Jorge

Sprite backups can only be restored to the same ROM. The easiest thing for you to do is a HARD RESET, which will reset the current ROM to all defaults and you should be able to boot back into the device. You just have to make whatever changes you had in your old ROM on the new ROM.

Again, do no attempt to restore the backup. If you want to restore the backup, you need to re-flash the old ROM and restore.

Thanks,

i have done the HARD RESET and installed the new ROM again and it's ok.

Not entirely true. The newer Sprite backup (not the oem one that comes with the tilt) allows for 3 or 4 levels of restoration...including one level that is made specifically for cross rom upgrades (ie from L26's v9 to garmin 1.2) and another for upgrades with the same rom type (ie upgrading from garmin 1.1 to garmin 1.2). I dont think that this was present in the older version.

I goto the same problem just a week ago....
and i also tried migration facility ( offered thru Sprite 6.22 Version ) But bottom line is - you have to install everything again after reflashing the new RUU... All you can recover safely is your PIM data... thats all

Once again, not entirely true, it depends on where software makes its changes. I have plenty of apps that get restored (most with serials still intact) after using sprite 6.2.2
