welp, I tried to restore to NoDo. My first error was to upgrade the tool to match Zune. So I uninstalled Zune beta and installed the stable version assuming the problem was that I was trying to install NoDo while that was on there.
After removing Zune beta, installing Zune stable and trying to restore again, I get "No restore point found"
Update: Now I'm getting another error: Unable to restore your phone because the backup is not valid.
Update 2: I re-installed Zune beta. And I remember reading somewhere, something about removing "UpdateWP.exe" when encountering errors in Windows 7 x64, so I moved it to my desktop. I checked my backup directory and it was missing two files for some reason. Luckily I backed that folder up in two places (Dropbox folder and my home folder) so I did the manual restore and placed the folder where it belongs and tried again. So far so good. I might do a hard reset when it's done just to make sure everything is fresh.

I used restore.bat improperly and lost my premango backup. I have an HTC Arrive. I read that I need to install a custom rom to get Nodo back. Is there a tutorial for this. Also is there any roms available for Arrive?
Please use Zune to perform the rollback.
I got it to work. For some reason the restore point folder wasnt copying over to the user/appdata/local/microsoft/windowsphoneupdate. Once I got it in there the restore option showed up in zune beta.

I have a Dell Venue pro with Mango 7661.
I need to restore back so I can receive the new firmware update that was just rolled out yesterday. When I ran restore.bat, it said there wasn't a restore point found. However, I DID backup my phone before I updated to Mango. Where should my backup be located, and please can someone just attach a file with their backup?

But DO UNINSTALL and than install Zune again before you begin!
Backup my Titan via Zune (forced backup, but seemed to work 100%).
Checked backup and restored to the phone OK.
Phone sent to HTC for repair.
Connected phone to PC / Zune expecting backup to be there and available for restore but when I go to Settings / Phone / Update it checks for update, message saying I have the current version but no backup listed to restore.
HTC returned the same phone, re-flashed or whatever....
Loads of info now missing....
Any advice really appreciated :0
ps, I backed up the backup into another directory (I think)
OK, resolved .... I think.
The file that was in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update was removed when I connected the phone. Luckily I copied it.
Dropped it back into the folder above, restarted Zune and now its there.
Just restoring.
So, moral of the story is back up your backup.
Hi, I have installed 8112 and 8773 in my Omnia W via Cab Sender. But I have performed backup twice (when installing 8112 and when installing 8773), so my latest backup is from 8112.
Is it possible to restore the first (8107) backup, so that I restore it to the original state before using Cab Sender?
Not unless you backed up the prior Restore Point (the proper name for the backups that Zune and Cab Sender create). If you did back up that restore point, simply put it back where the tools expect it to be (after also relocating the newer restore point).
Otherwise, if you installed the updates a day apart, Windows may have created a Shadow Copy of the restore point. Right-click the location where the restore points go, and select Previous Versions, then grab the one from before your second update (after first saving that second restore point under a different name).
I have found a way to install 7720 if I'm correct, link below:
