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.

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
Hi
How to make a system backup on WM6?
I'm using darkForce ROM, all is OK, but yesterdey my exec got stuck
on splash screen (operator o2 screen)... Hard reset didn't work, so
I have load ROM again...
All my settings, etc are gone... I don't want to do it again, so backup
will be very helpful...
THX
It is not possible or what?
I have been using SPB back up, but it only seems to work with one rom at a time. For example if I do a back up with one rom and load a dif rom it will restore, but Ill get errors. If you stick to just one it seems to work fine.
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
Well, I'm new to these terms but have been using vox for a few months. I hate the original ROM and have downloaded Dr. Martin's new Rom.
So please describe the instructions step by step using simple language on how to flash a new one to replace the original
P.S.-I tried to search for this, but didn't get very clear links.
Thnx
First point to start is always the Wiki!
You need to do USPL in order to flash a ROM: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_uspl
Then you can flash: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_flashing
BTW, there is no new ROM from Dr. G! They are all pretty old now!
thanks...i did the flash. But here's the problem...
I had made a backup of everthing(xcept mm card).
then i flashed the rom,it flashed smoothly and then i restored the backup...
and now, its a complete mess.
I got back my contacts but now the new rom's homescreen is gone.
No application,-not even messaging, nor quick list and even the start menu is not coming...
i want new rom to be back perfectly but also need old contacts(from d backup file)
What do i do?
edit: is there any need for something like 'upgrade device', that i should use while backing up....and to restore the new rom, should i flash it again?
How did you backup? You should only restore Messages and Contacts after you flashed a new ROM! Flash it again or do a hard reset and then only restore those items! No settings or applications, you will have to install them again yourself!
Oh god!
I'm such an idiot...!!!
Sorry for sucking your brain...
Thanx...i'll try again.
But you have been of a gr8 help.
Hi
I recently installed a custom ROM (CM9) on my htc sensation and I backed up most things. Thing is when I backed up my SMS I did it through the stock HTC sms app and Im trying to restore it but no apps read the file
Any ideas on what to do?
would be greatly appreciated!

try this. if it doesnt work make a new backup, then reflash your old backup from your other rom. then use the app. then flash forward to your new one and then restore
this app only reads xml files. the one htc did was just a file without any extensions so it cant be read by this
but if this has something to do with flashing the old one could you please elaborate lol, im still new to this stuff
Assuming you still have a backup of your original ROM that your messages are stored in, give this a try.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor&feature=nav_result#?t=W10.
It should let you extract the SMS files from your backupROM.zip file and let you restore them to your current app. If all else fails you can manually go into the backupROM.zip file and pull the SMS database file out yourself. You can copy the .zip to your computer and just root through the .zip and pull out the part you want, copy it to your phone and BOOYA!
Try the free app first though.

OK if you still have your rom that has the the sms then you can flash it back again. Using the correct firmware of course. Then back up the SMS with the app in my post above. Then reflash your current rom again (the one that needs the SMS) then run the app again and choose restore
or, use the method above
Both should work

ok i think ive messed up. basically i tried flashing the stock kernel so i can go back to the original rom. but when i reboot it just sticks on the htc boot screen (not the one where it says quietly brilliant, just htc) i tried flashing the other kernel back but still nothing. im actually stressing out here cant believe ive messed this up.
ok ive managed to get it back to the old ROM and im backing up my sms right now. damn that scared the crap outta me. but this whole flashing roms and such has been fun and ive learnt a lot. thank you all of the help

I know you've got your old ROM running fine now, but for future reference don't bother flashing the kernel for a backup. When you make a nandoid backup the kernel is included with it, so when you restore it the kernel is restored automatically.
Now in case you meant that you flashed firmware so you could go back to your old rom, then yeah...you may have to do that if you're switching between Gingerbread and ICS roms. But if you're switching between two ICS roms then odds are that your firmware is already 3.32 or 3.33 for both and you don't have to switch it.
