Upgrading S200 without having to reinstall everything - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

Hello Everyone,
I'm plannig to upgrade my Qtek S200 to the latest WWE rom. I've already upgraded once when I first bought the S200 to a DOPOD rom, but remember that everything had to be re-installed (which was not a problem then sice I had very few things). I have the S200 for some time now and would not like to reinstall everything, does anybody know if this is possible? I use spb backup, would it be possible to restore eveything once upgraded?
Thanks for any answer that might come

U can use sprite backup. It has a utility to upgrade. I always use it and it does work perfectly.

Not with SPB, Sprite Backup is the only backup application that can restore after a ROM upgrade. If you are using Sprite Backup make sure you read this faq first before you upgrade your ROM as you will need to capture the .sbu file on the old ROM

Thanks for your help, I bought sprite backup and I will give it a go. One last thing, the FAQ is mentioning that all the POP accounts need to be deleted, how do I migrate my mail?

POP accounts are linked to a device identifier thus they cannot be restored to a new device or ROM using upgrade mode. All other mail is fine. So make sure you delete the POP accounts before backup

Bricked

I tried Dutty's ROM, and liked it, but needed prober Danish language, so I wanted to load in my original backup. Made with SPB Backup.
After loading the backup, the phone don't boot. It shows the HTC logo animation with "Dutty's Series" on the lower right screen, and stops there. No Activesync connection.
How can I get it working again?
Thanks.

What ROM and Radio did you use?
Put your device in bootloader and reflash!

Alive again
Got it in bootloader mode, and reflashed the Dutty ROM. so far, so good.
How do I restore the original ROM, now I know the backup/restore don't work?

Correct. Once you flash your original rom back, then you can safely run the restore without bricking your phone again.
Ain't got it
I don't have the original ROM, Duttys FAQ said that I should make a backup with SPB Backup, and I would be able to restore it to original, so I didn't rip the original ROM.
Can I maybe replace the keyboard and dictionary in Duttys ROM with Danish versions? - And where would I find them?

ahh sorry you mean danish lang.. ehm.. try searching in the forum
Yes, SPB Backups can ONLY be used with the exact same setup they were made with! You will need to try and find your original rom on the forum.
First of all, you did not brick your device.
Second, Spb Backup will not backup the Rom Image, it will only backup your configuration & user data. You should never restore a beckup from one Rom to another.
If you don't have a Rom package for your original Rom then check the Wiki for the correct RUU package. Honestly though I sounds like you probably don't know exactly what Rom you originally had and it is important that you are using the EXACT Rom Image or the backup will not be reliable.
Most liekly the best you can do is find a Rom that is close to what you had, flash it then manually re-setup your device. You can do a partial restore of some items like PIM Data but never the registry.
Finally, in the future try to use a more descriptive thread title.

Broken Inbox please help

Hi!
All of a sudden my Inbox is unable to display any messages. Sure they're all listed there, but when I try to open a message, nothing happens. I've run a full restore using 2 different backups from SPB Backup, didn't really help. Also tried PIM backup, no help. I don't want to Hard Reset then restore with PIM Backup, I know that works but it'll take days to sort everything else out to the way it was. I swear it was fine last nite. Please help.

create backup INCL rom

Hi everyone,
i've been using a very nice rom for quite a while, but installed an update from it, but that update gave issues, so i wanted to use the previous one again.
Unfortunately I don't have it anymore and the chef that cooked it neither, so I'm kinda stuck here.
Luckily I've also flashed it on a friend's phone and now I'd like to extract/backup his entire phone so I can flash it back on mine again and we can both save of a copy of the backup, in case one of us loses it.
It's no problem if there is also user data in the backup, I can clean it up afterwards and make a new clean backup if someone could point me to the right application for this.
thx a lot and grtz,
dasiro

App needed to Backup People tab

Hello All,
Is there a program/procedure to backup the fav people on the manila screen without adding them back after every ROM flashing?
Thanks!
Hi.
After i flashed a new Rom i used PimBackup to restore. After restore i have all my Peoples in People Tab. Or try MyPhone from Microsoft. After restoring with it i have my Peoples back too.
