I have a Dell x50v and recently upgraded the system from Win2003 to WinMobile 6. I was looking through the programs today and I cant find a backup utility like the one that was in the Windows 2003 version. Is it hiding somewhere and I cannot see it? Do I have to download a proprietary backup software and install it? If so, any opinions on some trusty options
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
Is there a System restore utility for Windows mobile.. like the one we have for Windows PC.
It would be really usefull as we all keep xperimenting with our phones..
System restore would be better than Hard Reset..
Moved as not software release.
SPB Backup\Sprite Backup you will still have to hard reset but will get you back to current state.
i just buy wp7 yesterday, i was no idea how to sync it to the pc.
i heard that you need zune to sync with it like itunes. i'm installed it once, but it cannot update and say 'connection error, restart software'.
so i reinstalled again, but stuck at 100%.
a lot in the internet say that their os was XP of vista, and no windows 7 (and i'm using w7).
please, share with me how things are working here. thanks
i was able to sync and I have windows 7.
-make sure ZUNE is up to date
-you may get better results using the USB cable that came with the phone
-if you have more than one, try them all.
-you may get better results using the USB ports on the back of the PC

Have ya configured your phone already, a Live account and all that jazz ?
I have Windows 7, so that is not your problem... make sure your Zune is workling properly and if needed download a new version and reinstall it. Syncing Zune and WP7 is a pretty straight forward thing.
i'm already did that, it's just now i am trying to "reinstall" zune because it cannot update my windows phone 7 (version with no copy-cut-paste)
my zune installer is "downloading update at 100%" and stuck, no solution on the internet. some say to go back to xp (LOL)
for sync-ing my wp is no problem because it is straight forward

Like I said, I have Windows 7 x64 and the system runs great and no problems with Zune.
In you Windows try and create a new use with admin rights and try and install Zune in that user area, or use System Restore to roll back to a few days back... telling you to format and reinstall Windows 7 should be a last resort.
What "update" are you trying to install?

nothing, i'm trying to install, but the installer say updating, maybe i got old version package.
new problem here: i'm already download new package for installation, and i stuck at this point "preparing you computer, installing the zune sofware", so i think i have to contact zune for this problem
update: i just got the solution form help forum, apparently he say "just hit spacebar", and it work, feel like slap the software to wake up.
but now the software doesn't installed properly, no shortcut in the desktop

How long have you had that current installation of you Windows 7 ?
It might be a problem with your OS and not Zune... like I said, create a new user with admin right and install from there, Restore System to an older date.
If all fails, might be time for a fresh Windows 7 install.

Accessories, System Tools and you should have System Restore there. Try and restore to an older point in time, see if that helps.
When all else fails... format c:
system restore didn't have any effect at all. format is the only option left, i give up on this software.
i just don't want to waste anymore time, i'll use wp7 connector for mac instead.
thank you very much for everyone here for spending time to answer me. operator may closed this post in peace.
Hi XDA!
I'm new to Windows Mobile and would like to know how I can cook a WM 5.0. I want to preinstall an app when I cook the 5.0.
Or I'd like to know if its possible to auto install a .CAB after a reimage/flash for WM 5.0.
I have files for the 5.0 re-image but have no idea where to start.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Jess
Found a way to resolve this. Just used a program called spb clone to make image of the OS. Sprite clone is also another good app. Everything is automated.
I have problems running the Backup Tool by hx4700 Killer. Every time I try I get an error message: Input string was not in a correct format
I have tried to use the Backup Tool on different computers:
- 64- bit Windows 8
- 32- bit Windows 8
- 64- bit Windows 7
I have also tried to install Zune 4.7 without any success
I have installed Windows Phone Support Tools (version 2)
I have tried every version of the program, and get error messages every time (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011)
Tried to follow this tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vkXVkPkFR8) (http://www.wpxbox.com/how-to-restore-and-backup-windows-phone-homebrew/)
What should i do?
Please answer if you have any suggestions!
I'd also like to know this one! Would like to replace the micro-SD of my Dell Venue Pro from 32Gb to 64Gb. So if someone has been able to make it work with Win7 and the latest Zune software version, please let us know about it!!!
