How to backup WM5 in S200

[plumaguila]

Hello, sorry for my english
I ask a very simple question from Barcelona (Spain)
Someone know a program to perform a full backup of the wm5?
I'd like to install wm6, but i'd like to have a backup.

Thanks in advance for you answers

Hi,
The backup question will depend on which model is yours G3 or G4 (do a search).
If your model is a G3 in the prophet section of the wiki there is/was a way to dump the rom using teraterm in a SD card.
If your model is G4, I suggest that you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392325 as I wrote there I did the backup but I never restored the rom, but our moderator says it works.

Hi Myer, thanks for you answer.
I look you link, and after to jump two more I get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2327531&postcount=58, where "imee.h" says this steps to proced:
How did I do the dumping?
1) I put JumpSPL (the three files: exe, lnk and SPL image) to the device root.
2) Unplugged device from PC.
3) Deactivated ActiveSync USB connection.
4) Ran the lnk to JumpSPL on device.
5) Connected device to PC.
6) Ran the mtty on PC.
7) Hit enter -> got Cmd>
8) Entered the command "r2sd all"

After this hollydays I'll try to do, because i'm not very happy to run in my device JumpSPL, without any more info, also i can get conection with mtty via USB, it can not open USB port.
Then after Hollyday i'll try.
Thanks for you help

Your best way is to get a software backup program. I use Sprite Backup, it will back up contact, registery, EVERYTHING.

One thing you should know, if you dont already, is that you should not use restore a backup from previous ROMS. If you only backup contacts & Calender then that is fine, but NOT registry or system files, you will end up bricking your fone.

Software backup if much easier:D download a trial of the lite version and if u like it (i do) purchase full, approx 19$.
