[Q] Manual Backup / Combining firmware with OS update - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
is there any way to do a manual backup of my WP7 device (HTC Mozart) using Zune?
What I planned was to do a firmware update in combination with the upcoming MS update (pre NoDo) to save my settings and apps. However I'm not sure if that works (did anyone try?). So is there any way to manually initiate a backup/restore in Zune?
Thanks...

[Q] How to create a restore point in Mango?

I'm currently running Mango and I would like to restore my NoDo backup so I can unlock the HTC Trophy and then upgrade to Mango again but I don't want to loose my SMS. Is there a way to do that?
Assuming you saved a backup of your NoDo before upgrading, COPY that into the C:\users\<username>\appdata\local\microsoft\windows phone update\ folder (delete whatever is there), then launch Zune and look for update. It should give you an option to Restore.

[Q] Backup Custom ROM?

I have an HTC Arrive recently HSPL'd and flashed a custom ROM, I wanted to know if there is a way to back up my phone with the Custom ROM on it completely? All the techniques I'm finding for full backup seem to have warnings about custom ROMS. If there isn't a full backup available is there one to backup all my apps/data at least?

I couldn't get this App to work since it only works with zune 4.7. Which does an entire backup including music and pictures and such, which just wastes extra space since those files are already backed up on my computer. The newer zune software only backs up information that isn't stored on the computer (Apps, settings etc..)

you have to change the ZuneWmdu.DLL in your Zune Folder on Computer.
Make a copy of your existing ZuneWmdu.DLL and change it with this one.

Motorla MC5040 PDA Backup\Restore

Hello All !!
I am tryign to find a way of backup settings on our Motorola MC5040 PDAs. I currently have the trial version of SPB Backup Sync (V. 2.1.0 build 3536) with a Symbol MC5040 running Win Mobile 2003 SE version 4.21.1088, Intel PXA270 processor, (showing 63.31MB of memory, in Setting>About).
I am am able to backup the device but when I try to restore the backup I am no longer able to use the scanner or camera. I have tried restoring the backup using 'Force ROM upgrade mode' as well as without. I have tried using 'Normal', 'ROM upgrade and Device Upgrade' modes. Still not scanner function after the restore. (I can do a factory restore and it regains functionality)
Are there backup settings I should be using?
Am I restoring the backup correctly?
I am trying to save its basic settings (battery settings\power management, applications, wifi settings) and restore them on another MC50 device.
I also plan on doing the same Backup\restore to Motorola MC55A0 and MC5590's running Win Mobile 6 classic.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much for your time.
Jim
p.s. is there another application I could be using?

[Q] App Changes with Nougat?

Hello everyone,
today i switched from the german XEG MM Firmware to the latest BTU Nougat one, all with CSC change factory reset and re partition to get the CSC into effect. Had to factory reset anyways, since i always do it after some months, so why not update and test Nougat, while at it.
While everything except VoLTE/WifiCall (which are to be expected not working) works perfectly, i do however have a small problem with 1 App only, namely WhatsApp.
I've done a Cloud and Local Backup before the Update and neither are restoring on the Nougat OS, tested with older / same and even a newer beta from the APK itself.
The backup is recognized in size and according to the SQL extract should not be corrupted, haven't seen through every chat though (Cloud Backup size 660MB, chat file 22MB <- too big maybe?).
So my question is, does anyone have the same problem as i do? Is it a Nougat Filesystem / WhatsApp Database Key change due to the upgrade?
If you had the problem aswell, did you solve it without a downgrade or am i alone with it? The MM Key works on local backup, though i haven't yet pulled a "new" key to verify yet.
Tried:
Install various APK's, older/newer and same version
Factory Reset w/ clearing cache via recovery mode after flashing
Give the app permissions before launching
Remove Google Account to restore from local backup
Since i now have to wait 13h to verify with their servers again due to my personal troubleshoot, i figured i could ask here
I'm grateful for any tips, otherwise i might downgrade to MM again and hope the problem fixes itself, though i'd like to have the features of Nougat now and not in 2-3months, given previous release schedules of my carrier.
edit:
- I've just had an idea, while you use your phone number to verify. Mine does not display under the phone settings -> Device information -> Own Number. This might be due to the CSC change, but should not be relevant, since the actual process is done via messaging right?

HTC Sync Manager on Android Pie 9?

Hello.
After upgrading from Oreo to Pie I wasn't able to use HTC Sync Manager. So after hard reset I have no possibility to restore backup from backup which has been made by HTC Sync Manager. I've lost my photos and etc... Is there any possibility to restore HTC backup somehow? On Virtual Machine or so? It's very bad, that without any warning you can't use program for backup...
Any suggestions about taking out files from backup are really appreciated.
