Performing a COMPLETE backup now! Impressive. I'm on my THIRD Samsung Focus, and on all three, I've run the Updates, but NEVER has it EVER successfully saved a backup. Each time I try to look for a restore point, it says there is nothing. When I go to the Backup Directory, it only has a single xml file, but NO Backup.
THANK YOU so much! I only wish I had found this before my 7390 update so I could revert back to 7004 and unlock again.
Any chance this method could be used to restore a backup from someone else's phone so I can go back to 7004? I'm guessing each backup is completely device dependant, but it's a thought...
OK, I'm putting FULL faith in your work and going to do a Phone Restore now to clear Everything out, then I'm going to try your restore and see what I end up with. Will report back shortly... I'm hoping to see my photos, apps, Text Messages, etc...
DAMMIT! I screwed up! Your Software did a successful backup, but I neglected to copy that backup to a different location. mad: at myself) When I plugged in my phone, Zune saw it as a new device, and promptly deleted my backup! ZUNE Backup/Restore SUCKS!!!!! Way worse than iTunes in that respect, and I really dislike iTunes, but at least it does a COMPLETE and safe backup of an iPhone. I've lost 100's of Text Messages I really would like to have kept...
I really prefer WP7 over iPhone, but I hope Microsoft brings Complete backup to Zune soon. That was a Major Fail on their part.
In the mean time, people like you will continue to fill in the gaps that Microsoft drops the ball on. Thank you for your work. I'm going to set up my phone, backup, and restore again and see what I get. I'm sure it will work, I just need to be more careful and backup my backup so Zune does not eat it for breakfast!
