[Q] Restoring pre-Mango impossible? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all
I have a student-dev unlocked Phone and updated to Mango the official way. I saved my Backup in the WP7 Restore point Folder to another Folder.
I wanted to go back to pre-Mango now, but when I try to use the Backup-Tool it always says, that the Support Tool Version (4.7.x) does not match the Zune Version (4.8.x). Obviously there is no way in the moment to downgrade zune to 4.7 due to the fact, that zune 4.8 is now the official build.
Has anyone a possible solution for getting my backup to my phone?

Okay disabling the network while performing setup was a too easy solution, didnt thought of that!
Thanks!

Why do you want to return to pre-Mango?

I uninstalled and reverted back to the old zune software to in case it was the new update. I even started over with a different phone that is currently pre NoDo and still no luck. and no skype running

When you update to mango you had installed and the Windows Phone DevTools 7.1 beta
You must remove it and install the previous version with all the patches and updates as it was before mango to be able to sideload apps from your system again.
first of all, you will want to post the error code message and/or look for it to find some help.
also here we have the problem that sideloading does not work anymore, after mango update.
now, you say that another different phone is also not working?
interresting...
change usb port, or use another computer/ reinstall windows.
i maybe would try in vm too...

Uninstall Zune 4.8, and install Zune 4.7 from here:

Then the UpdateWP tool will work
whoa, i'll try it on my computer

ane, are you sure that UpdateWP on Zune 4.7 would bring my datas back to life????

[Q] Mango RTM 7720, how can we revert back to Nodo?

I have a Samsung Focus running the leaked 7720 RTM build. Looks like the RTM wont be supported by the cleanup build. So how can I revert back to Nodo so I can then receive the official update? When I go to updates from zune, I cant see any place to restore from backup
Why don't you save your backup before experimenting with Mango RTM (uninstalling Zune etc.)?

stock rom will be your option to go to NoDo. But I highly recommend you wait. There is still a chance that even those on RTM might get the update. And then there are good programmers here who can figure out ways to accomplish this without MS.
I concur with the previous poster, but worst case scenario you can probably wait a week or so, see whether your device tries to update, and if not, roll back to your Nodo backup, which you hopefully made. At that point, your device should see the update. Though, the focus has been notorious for slow updates anyway. You may just want to stay put for a while and see what happens.

yea i figured it out, the backup wasnt stored in the windows phone update folder, but once i moved it there, it showed up in zune...also i will wait and see if the official mango update comes through anyways. Thanks guys!
samsung focus
I lost my back up when I got the new version of zune . I was ready to flash the 7004 rom that I found on here but I tried zune first . I got the samsung update (firmware I am sure) and I checked with a friend who did not update to the 7720 rtm and our firmware hardware and os versions are all the same . I am pretty sure that I am up to date and dont need to do anything else . Can someone please confirm this for me . I was on rtm7720 I am hoping with the firmware I have the final mango .

[Q] Invalid Backup problem.

Hey,
I have updated my Trophy to version 7720 of Mango, and now it's releasing soon itself so I want to restore it for the official released version.
However, when I try to restore from the backup do I get an error saying that the backup is invalid. How can I fix this problem?

I suggest you wait and be patient until the rollout clarifies whether you actually need to go back to NoDo or whether you are fine. This has not been determined yet and there is still a good chance you might not have to go back to NoDo.
if your backup is bad worst case scenario is flashing with a rom to go back to 7004 or NoDo and then upgrade from there.
I have this same issue with my Samsung Focus, tried to do backup that didnt work so tried going back and reloading the factory firmware and now I am stuck at 7004. I would say to everyone to heed the advice and just stay put where you are, my guess is that Microsoft has locked down everything till 7.5 starts getting out. Id just say wait and see what happens.
Ok I will wait for now to see if I can rollback through an update coming soon, but I do doubt that since I have installed the 7720 version which got posted on forum here.
Is there also a guide for the flashing and a link to the good rom? Never done this before so I prefer some links to the correct ones working fine for me.

[Q] Unable to restore backup, wrong software number

Hello guys,
after I applied a HardSPL and custom ROMs to my HTC 7 Pro, I couldn't restore my backup made with Wp7EasyBackup.
The basic problem, if you ask me, is that the backup was made on the stock T-Mobile ROM 07.10.08773.00-00000 and i wasn't able to update the device to that software number.
I installed "RUU_Gold_TMO_DE_2.01.111.01_Radio_5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_GOLD_RELEASE" and zune automatically updated the device to:
7.0.7392.0,
7.0.7403.0,
7.10.7720.68,
7.10.7740.16,
7.10.8107.79,
7.10.8112.7 and finally to
7.10.8773.98.
For every software version I tried to restore the backup using Wp7EasyBackup, WP7-Update-Cab-Sender and Zune itself - no success. Right now I'm trying other stock ROMs.
Can somebody please help me with that issue? It's relatively important to me, having the old messages...
I also recognized that the version number of the backup is given in the "Manifest.xml"-file in the backup folder and tried to change it, but it didn't show up an effect.
What can I do?
Can nobody help?
