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...
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 also lost my backup for my arrive due to my computer crashing.... Please Help!! what can i do??
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?

I hope it helps
But DO UNINSTALL and than install Zune again before you begin!
When I created my backup I moved it to a different location. Today I wanted to restore that. So I opened the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update% location and nothing was there, folder was empty. So I moved the folder [cryptic file name] containing the backup to that location. I opened zune and checked the folder and my backup was gone. Now there is a new cryptic folder there that is around 300 kb. What happened to my 8GB backup that i put there?
You should copy the backup file (that is copy, not move it) into the "windows phone update" folder AFTER you connect the phone and Zune syncs, then check for update to get to the backup restore option in Zune.
1. Connect phone, let Zune launch and sync
2. Copy files into the "windows phone update" folder
3. Go through the check for updates to get to the backup restore option in Zune.

I lost my premango backup... that info does not pretain to my problem lol. Did I lose that backup?
Well, if you moved the backed-up backup and don't copy it and then Zune ate it when it tried to sync the phone, yes you lost it. That's how my response did pertain to your problem.. you should have copied the backup files, not move them. If you copied them over, you'd still have it in the alternate backup location and you wouldn't be asking if your backup is lost. If you'd have copied the files after Zune synced with your phone, it wouldn't have eaten your backup files when it started up.

Are you shure you check in the correct folder ???
the correct one is C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
Yah I am in the right place. I had that folder open when I launched Zune and literally watched it disappear.
What is my next move? Are there any roms that Zune will recognize as official and give me updates trough Zune?
Well, you've never stated what your phone is, but if you check the device specific forum, you will likely be able to find a stock ROM and instructions for how to flash.

I am using an hd7 from tmobile. I know I can find a ROM but is Zune going to recognize it as official and allow me to update through Zune?
If it's a truly stock ROM, yes, hacked ROM, idk as I don't do hacked ROMs

This is the link with the rom's for my mobile hd7.
Is this a stock rom? Or is this a hacked rom?

Did you check your Recycle Bin by chance just in case a version is there? Just a thought
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:
