No you can't and there is no way doing this as of now for a G4.

The Ext. Rom provides extra software that usually gets installed by default once a hardware reset has been done. Deleting CAB's in the Ext. Rom (whether it's possible is another question) has no effect on the Prophet at all. If software from Ext. Rom got installed already then they stay installed until you uninstall it or do a hardware reset.

You don't want to do any of that unless you know what you are doing.

Spatzm, thx so far ... but:
-how can i edit my ext rom then? when not with deleting the CABs?
-and i saw some threads they said, u can unlock a G4:
• one said with the aWizard
• and some others told of variouse tools to do that
they are all wrong?
... btw. i ask this, because i wanted to backup my XDA with aWizard before i change anything, but to before backup, the aWizard Tools tell i have to unlock, and without i only can backup the ext rom.

How to load all programs after hard reset?

Hello!
I will receive my Polaris in a couple of days And I will probably load some new programs into it.
My question is: after a hard reset it will be back to factory settings right?
How do you load the new programs again?
Do you load them one by one, or is there a kind of backupprogram that will load all the programs for you?
Thank you.
And this is a excellent forum

Of course you can use a backup program. The best are SPB Backup & Sprite Backup.

There are some backup programs, but they only store the contact/mail/calendar data... I'm not sure if there is any that backups the programs... the best way is to install everything on the memory card, and backup the shortcut files on the memory card. After the HR you only have to copy those back in the StartMenu folder
Som program dont work whithout registry entries or other installed components, so these won't work whith the method above.
The Activesync, and the Device Center has a list of installed/installable apps that will install those on user request (mass install), but that will still intall them 1 by 1....

If you're getting a sim free polaris, then, it comes with a free HTC back up software and a complimentary Sprite Back up software. You can use either of them. Install either one of them on the main memory but make sure you put your back up on your storage card.
Side note: Load APPLICATION software one at a time and observed the behaviour of your device for a day or so. If it's working according to your expectations then make a back up and install another one.

Thanks guys
And my Polaris comes sim free so hopefully the software I need is included in the package.

There have been complaints about the (old) version of Sprite Backup that is included in the CD of Polaris. I would suggest to install the latest version of Sprite Backup or SPB Backup.

The HTC backup tool is Sprite Backup 5.10 (P3650_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20071102.exe)
And the included 'SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup.exe' is the same as the HTC one, but it installs a PC suite aswell.

Upgrade to WM6.1 from dferreiras WM5SE

I've been using dferreiras WM5SE but would like to try WM6.1 like J.VD.Spanks and others.
1) What is the recommendation procedure on upgrading a upgrade?
2) Since I'm already unlocked, can I just flash on top or should I start from scratch with the love button and T-mobile rom then flash?.
3) Is there a way to back-up my existing set-up just in case I want to go back?
Sorry for the noob questions and thanks up front.

1. Some say it's better to re-flash an official rom before another custom.
2. You can just flash on top, no need to repeat the procedure.
3. SPB backup

3) Is there a way to back-up my existing set-up just in case I want to go back?

what kind of data, do you mean PIM (contacts, SMS, Appointments, etc..) then use Dotfred's PIM Backup

Thanks for the replies.
I was going to sync with my laptop but I've made many changes with my contact information on the phone and I wasn't sure if it would revert to my older contact list.
I've also decided to start from scratch just so its a clean install.

question about SKtools

I've always used SKtools (only) to remove installed apps with the previous windows phones. Is it adviced to use SKtools with HD2 too?

Hello,
what experience do you have with SKTools-backup after a
HardReset or ROM-Update?
I updated my O2-ROM from 1.48 to 1.72. Then I tried a backup
with SKTools, but my HD2 stopped working.
I could not switch it off, so I had problems to do a new HardReset.
After I managed this, I tried to backup the pim data.
But no success. Now I'm unconfused about the backup tool.
I understand that a ROM-update is a complex thing
(also 1.48 is not much different from 1.72).
But I expect as a minimum that I can backup the pim data.
My final question is, can I expect from SKTools a (more or less)
full backup after a HardReset.
Thanks

You are doing backup, right? Why should there be any problem?
OK, I never do any backup after a hard reset. I have done uncountably many SKTool backups, and have done a handful of SKTools restore after hard resets (fortunately not on HD2).
Why do you need to do a backup after a hard reset? If you want to go back to that status, you just hard reset again.

Move installed software.. not all possible??
Can anybody of you tell me, how I could move progs from internal storage to storage card, that do not have this option in SKTools?
Mostly this is regarding games that do not have the option to chose where to install to. They only have the option to deeply check intallation.
Is there another way to move istalled software/games than with SKTools??
Thanks for any Hint.

No help for me..?

FWIW, eshd's scenario happens to my Imagio. I recently got a refurbished unit from Verizon to replace my old Imagio (broken send key), and I used the complete backup and restore process with SKTools. Both the backup file and SKTools were on my storage card, so I just swapped the card into the new unit.
After programming the new unit over the air, I started SKTools and pointed it to the 160MB full backup. The unit automatically soft reset itself, and SKTools appeared to begin the restore process (progress screen with countdown of files transferred).
Once all the files transferred, however, the unit soft reset again and hung on the HTC logo screen. I tried this twice, and both times got the same result (I waited 20 minutes on the second time). I plan to try Sprite Backup next, as I just do not relish the idea of manually restoring all my settings to the new phone!

No, or (perhaps) not always!
After a HardReset I had no success with a backup with SKTools.

New to installing ROM's. ( a few questions regarding apps and etc )

Hello , i have my phone for some time ( htc desire s ) , yday i installed a new rom for the first time , a friend recomendended Reaper ( 3.0 ) soo i installed it , he gave me the zips . I would like to ask what's the easiest way to install apps , for example simpliest applications , skype , realcalc etc or games ? I can only use wifi during school , dont have wifi at home ^^ soo if i would have to redownload those apps from market then it would take a lot of time ( and one more thing , i don't even have market for some odd reason ) .
Soo in a small phrase : i would like to know how to download apps from pc and put them on phone and install them there and whats the safest way to download them.

Not sure why you don't have market without more information but...
...as this is questions, it should really be in the "Questions & Answers" forum, not this one.
It would help if you supplied more info, such as how you rooted your phone, where you are, what you mean by "Don't have market" - it's called Google Play now by the way.
Yes, you can download apps 'off-line' and install later, or you can just use the school wi-fi instead.

You can also connect your phone too your PC via USB cable and share PCs internet to your phone.
The market (as mentioned before now play store) should already be on your phone since you flashed reaper ROM.
Btw. mostly every time you install a new ROM you have to do a full wipe before and you'll loose all your data on phone (including apps). But you can backup your personal data with an app ( ) called titanium backup. It's also available on play store. If you do so, you won't have to re-download them again and again and again...
Sent by my fingers to your head.

You mean that you wiped the Cache and the Dalvik Cache? As posted above, you need to do a Full wipe - all partitions - before installing Reaper.

Once you have installed the ROM, you have to sign-up with your Google account if you want access to the market and other Google apps. This means either using a mobile data connection, or using your school wi-fi connection. Without doing this it is not possible to download anything from the market.
You can still find applications if you search on-line, and there are a few alternatives to the Google market if you need them - have a look at How To Geek
Sounds like your friend has only told you half the story about installing a custom ROM

He just said , install another operating system , its faster and consumes less batery and he gavem e link , he didnt tell me about contacts or anything : /

You should read a lot of stuff here before doing anything further.
I'm sure you did not backup your stock system before flashing the ROM, right?

Unfortunately, if you don't try to learn from other peoples' mistakes then you will be bound to repeat them and possibly end up screwing your device beyond all hope.
Go to the "Dev" forum, read the stickies at the top of the page, learn how you should have done it in the first place - then you can work out what you need to do next to get it right
