Hello guys, flashing custom ROM (or origin ROM) is great, but it's so painful to loss all 3rd application data, games, ebook, etc...So, i make this tool to help you to backup/restore 3rd apps/games' data.
I say again, it only BACKUP/RESTORE your apps/games' DATA, not backup/restore apps/games. Clearly, this tool use ISETool from WP SDK 7.1 to receive-send data to Isolated Storage folder of all apps/games.

Requirements:
- Your PC must have WP SDK 7.1 beta 2 or later
- Your phone is jailbroken

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?810gdjg7mprmmf2

Instruction:
*Backup:

  • Run the tool, connect phone to PC, make sure zune is running.
  • Choose a folder to store backup by pressing Browse button
  • Press BACKUP button and wait
  • Now you can flash your ROM, don't worry about 3rd apps's data
*Restore:
(After flashing ROM, you have to manually install all of your apps/games before restoring)

  • Run the tool, connect phone to PC, make sure zune is running.
  • Choose a folder to restore backup by pressing Browse button
  • Press RESTORE button and wait
  • Now all your data is restored!

p/s: someone tell me that we have to run each apps/games at least once before we do the restore. In my case, i don't run anything and just restoring & everything's fine :D
Sadly, some apps & games downloaded directly from Marketplace cannot be backup :( such as Amazon Kindle. But if u use 3Mktplace to download, patch it and deploy to device, everything work perfectly!

I also make a video how to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ67mIbLw6Y&feature=player_embedded

Any feedbacks will be welcomed :D

ok it backuped only one app (the most important , navigon)

would it be possible to select what to backup ?
so lets say that I can select the apps data that I want to backup ?
thanks for the idea, i made a tool call ISE GUI, u can use this tool to backup any apps/games with known product ID.
u can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7jy2ahddv0mes83

u know how to get the product ID of apps/games, don't u ?

ah ok now I understand.
but this mean that I need the .xaps first on pc.

but if I want to get the id from an app that I downloaded using the phonemarket I need a working file explorer on the phone.

would be nice if there was a tool that could scan that :D

some apps/games from marketplace are signed with digital signature. This tool cannot access IsoStore from those apps/games. May be u should use 3MktPlace to download & patch from ur PC first. Then deploy it to ur device

ah ok , I think I am understanding now way it only backuped navigon because that is the only app that I sideloaded :D

but still a real cool tool to have , because there are lots of people who sideload a lot

and I love it for navigon , it saves me 3 hours of downloading

Let me make sure I understand this correctly. I can backup my Angry Birds progress, hard reset my phone and restore my Angry Birds progress?

EDIT: Ah I guess not since it has a digital signature. That would be awesome if we could backup all signed applications. Lost too many game saves.

about signed apps, i can't find anyway to handle their IsoStore :mad: Microsoft must have been so strict to protect these folders. If u run ISETool by hand, trying to access protected IsoStore folder u'll get Group policy error.
i have a [email protected] xap file of Angry birds, u can sideload it & back it up. U can PM me to get it

Is this actually any different from the official ISETool? I mean, the one that actually comes with the dev kit? That one doesn't work for *any* Marketplace application; unless you downloaded the XAP and side-loaded it, the tool won't work.

It's cool and all, but aside from a command-line interface (which I am fine with) to a GUI, what does this enable?
