Upgrading S200 without having to reinstall everything

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

Phone crashing.

Its been 3 nights in a row I've had the phone mess up after a nights charging. Specifically, I unplug the phone and begin to use it until I realize my program files are completely missing. No app will launch, and eventually the phone just freezes requiring a reset. Without actually hard resetting, the phone does this itself just by pressing the reset button.
I've restored it and had the same thing happen, and today, figuring it was just the charging over night issue, I soft reset the phone. It wasn't a soft reset, the phone hard reset itself again. What in gods name could possibly be causing this? I suspect the registry is corrupting or something, but even flashing a different ROM doesnt appear to fix it. (unless possibly a file i restore with spb backup is corrupt?)

I would try to install a new ROM (maybe ROMeOS 1.90 or the original ROM that came with the TP), hardreset the TP and run it without restorimg a backup from SPB the first days. So you can test wether the SPB Backup is corrupted. Did you take out the battery for an hour or more?

I've flashed back a ROM and restored to see if it'll do it again. I had the most problems this morning when I restored a backup onto a different ROM so I'll see if it does the same thing if I flash back to the ROM the backup was from. (note: I didnt restore system files)
My best guesses are:
Corrupt backup
Corrupt backup - PIM component
ROM issues - Faulty flashing?
Malfunctioning rilphone.dll (I noticed this morning the phone reported I had no service although edge was active)
Charging issues (swapped battery incase)
What effect would having the battery out for an hour be?

I've had the same problem recently although I don't use spb backup, I have posted about it here:

So far after flashing back to stock rom and back to a cooked one it working ok, well it lasted a night and a day which is better than before.

[Q] Restoring MMS With Titanium Backup Problem

Hi All
Hopefully someone can help me!!
Have my sms/mms messages backed up with Titanium, never had a problem restoring them before when swapping from rom to rom!
For some reason, when I try to restore them now, they never restore!
Tried about 10/15 times, reboot, soft rebooting, and they just don't appear!
Is there a way to manually restore the db, into the system?
I don't really care about dates etc, just some texts are quite important!
Thanks

Lost contacts, messages,call logs after installing Froyo 2.2[X10 Mini]

So I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and wanted to update it to Android 2.2 . I searched how to install xRecovery and succesfully installed Android Froyo 2.2 . I followed every instruction for the install but what I think destroyed me was Factory Reset on the xRecovery menu. After I selected it to back up my Android 2.1 it did succesfully so, I then pressed wiped all data BUT I had not backed up anything. Neither contacts nor messages nor calls. So after seeing on my succesfull that I didn't have those things I decided to restore my previous backup, thinking that all my data will return. Here it gets even worse! I selected Restore in the recovery menu and it restarted. But the phone was stuck at the SE logo and no matter if I restarted the phone, it would go there again. So I decided to get the Flashtool and restore my phone and now it has restored Android 2.1 and ALL the apps,notes,calendar events,contacts,messages,call logs are gone. And the worst is I did not even back up anything of these! I want them back so bad! Also xRecovery got uninstalled. Is there anything I can do or should I deal with the fact that I was an idiot and did all these crap?Please if you know a solution that can bring my data back post it now!
Thanks!

Please don't hesitate posting if you know anything about the subject.

I'm pretty sure you're screwed there mate, but for future reference, you should use Titanium Backup. It backs up all your apps, settings, contact information etc. As for messages and your call log, you can use an app called SMS backup, which will backup your call log and your SMS/MMS messages to your gmail account.

If you did a backup from xrecovery, you can restore everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) from your old 2.1 ROM incl. apps and calander and messages and whatever. You just need to reinstall xrecovery (I trust you know how as you've done it before) and go to the backup/restore menu and press restore and your previous backup should appear.
Try restoring it when you have the stock 2.1 ROM because I think sometimes going down doesn't work. Similar thing happened to me when I tried to restore my 2.1 ROM from 2.3 on my X10.

Thanks for your answer mate Well as I said I reinstalled xRecovery after flashing via PC to my old Android 2.1 which I am in now but instead of making a full restore, I selected Advanced Restore and restored the data. As a result,not only did nothing restore to my phone but it got the default settings again,you know when you open it for the first time. So should I risk a full restore or the same thing will happen?

Well, seeing that you know how to restore stock firmware w/ Flashtool, I see no harm in giving it a go. You can always go back if it goes wrong again

Okay I will try it now and I will tell you if it goes perfectly.
EDIT : Oh man it stuck again on the SE logo. Now I am reflashing it and after that xRecovery will be uninstalled. What the hell will I do now to get my data back?

Oh dear. I'm not sure what else you can do because if that was the only backup you made, I don't think much can be done. Maybe someone else might be able to tell you how to reflash your data by unzipping the backup file or something, but I can't really do much unfortunately. Sorry about that
Take this as a lesson. Always (and I do mean ALWAYS) backup data and things when you have to flash a new ROM or anything. Titanium backup is perfect for apps (and free too) and for data, I recommend MyBackup Pro. I've got the paid version, but I think the free version can backup your messages and contacts and all that data. Also, I think Android has the option to backup your contacts as well and bear in mind that MyBackup Pro isn't 100% perfect (e.g. it doesn't work properly if you have no gmail account attached, as I found out when I tried flashing a new ROM to a friend's phone) and that you can never have too many backups (although you do tend to fill the SD card with backups if you do too many ). Another user may be able to help you with retrieving data if you're lucky, but otherwise, you might have to move on as life must keep going on

Nevermind my friend. You helped me enough and thank you for this From now on, I will make sure I backup my files twice. As far as what will I do now, I will try to ask help to unzip my backup so I can get all my data again. Thank you very much,again. If anyone can help me reflash my data that would be grateful.
