In post number 1 I refer HD2 owners to post #2 in this thread that basically says an HD2 doesnt seem to work with this.

However, this post from a day or two ago someone got a backup on HD2:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15580017&postcount=325

You might want to talk to him about what he was doing because I don't have an HD2 to test this on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] radzi:
Doesn't work for me, my OS is in a different language and path is not ok for me.

Is there any way to change manually path?

this part " \Local Settings\ " I have it in other language, all the rest is OK...

- anything I can do?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I would suggest looking at post #2 and use the command line. Make a BAT or something and an icon to it.

I might add a menu with manual setting options.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
V1.6 now in the first post. It adds the ability to specify the location of Zune, updateWP.exe as well as the PKS file if you are not using the default.

Some management functions for active/archived backups added.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] radzi:
@hx4700 Killer Thank you so much for that!!

I'll try it now and give a feedback for others of what I get.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fzncloud:
Hi hx4700 Killer,

Yesterday I made a backup of my phone successfully and went down the path of downgrading my Omnia 7 (optus nodo to optus 7004). Since my unlock failed I decided to restore my phone. The restore did not complete and ends with the error:" " (no error message).

I have also tried via command prompt using the backup from zune as well as the backup I made using your tool.

not sure how to restore if I want to go down that path. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I am a little unclear as to your question. You said you had tried the command line mehod, then state that you are not sure how to restore if you go down that path... Do you mean via command line?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fzncloud:
Sorry for the confusion!

I tried the command line method however it said it failed and it had not error message. Same when I tried to restore from the tool.

going down that path (sorry I re read and this sounds confusing) really meant I stopped trying to restore my phone, but if I wanted to try again, I wont know how to proceed because it doesn't restore.

cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
It is possible the backup was bad. Performing the restore via zune is doing the same thing really that my program does so if one fails they both will most likely. Sorry to hear it didnt work. The command line usually reports more information so I am surprised it didnt supply you with an error.

Did Zune actually start the restore or just tell you that it couldnt restore it right away?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fzncloud:
im at work and unable to test it again but from what I remember, pressing restore will restart my phone into the black screen with the pc and cable (sorry vague description, its not the download mode but the other one), on screen it says restoring however after 5 seconds it will reboot my phone back to normal and say restore completed with error:

hope this helps. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
It sounds as if the backup was invalid then. The files were there but wouldnt restore for some reason. :(

... which is why I have 4 or 5 backups of pre mango :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fzncloud:
4 to 5 wow! seeing as my one backup was 4 gigs. Yeah because it wouldn't restore, I ended up going nuts with trying to unlock, mango, and jailbreak my phone. As of 12pm today I have a fully mango'd jailbroken omnia 7:D time to make another backup in case it dies about now :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Thanks for this, after all the issues, I got a new phone, did a backup as soon as I activated the phone...installed a bunch of crap, then restored as a test, worked perfect.

I took a backup of my fully setup NoDo device and have MS's backup, so both, just in case....

Now going to mango with out being worried about getting back if needed.

Thanks !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] radzi:
I'm getting this message:

An error accourred while performing backup. The error text is: Update device ...X... complete wit error code 8018004D, error message: UI installation error (update from image) from phone: no applicable package.

Tried 2 times both with this error. If I try to recover backup it does it successful, installed something, received SMSs then when recover and none of this was in phone. Is it enough even with error ? Can I move to mango?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
If you perform the manual restore steps using ZUNE in post #2 you will see it tell you if you have a valid backup. You don't actually have to perform the backup just click the restore button and it will tell you if its good. Just don't click the final restore.

Other people have gotten the "No applicable packages" message and it worked for them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ayle:
I am confused about that part. If I upgraded to Mango beta, could the partial backup be used to restore to pre-Nodo?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Are you saying that you made a backup with Zune 4.8 of your pre-mango phone?

I would imaging it would work fine but as I havent tried it I can't promise that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Just a question on the 4.8 backup....

If it only backups what has changed, how do we know what is backed up with it?

What I am getting at is, is there a way to clear out that info, so when we backup with 4.8 we will get a perfect image like we were getting with 4.7 ?

I tried, My 4.7 backup was 2.6gb, I upgraded to mango,Zune 4.8 and added 395 Songs for Zune. I did a backup with your 1.6 tool, it took it but, my backup was only 1.54gb.

So what did I get, what is it missing and can I be sure if I restore I will get all my data back (mabye compression ?)?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
My description of zune 4.8 backup was that it doesnt seem to backup what is synced with your computer. songs, pics etc...

I don't really have enough experience with 4.8 to be absolutely sure what is/isnt there. Use 4.7 if you have to be sure. You can do it with a different computer. The phone doesnt have to have a primary pairing with the computer to do the backup this way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] taz5176:
not sure if this been asked before?

can i use my friend or other ppl's phone (omnia7) backup to restore to my omnia7?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Multiple times and no, the backup is signed by the phone and will only restore to the same phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] taz5176:
thx. was hoping can be done
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] paschott:
BTW, I wanted to mention that I did get this working finally. I ended up completely reverting my phone to 7004 after an attempt to just restore my phone. I'd wanted to swap out the SD card and that didn't work quite as expected so I just started over. Once I did that, the backup routine worked as expected (except for honoring the actual My Documents location - it went to C: instead). I was also able to successfully restore. It gave me a chance to play with Mango briefly and then revert back to NoDo. While Mango's cool, I'll wait until the official release before upgrading.

Thanks for figuring out these calls and putting it into a nice wrapper for an easy backup/restore experience. I really wish MS had just done something like this to start with. If nothing else, it gives us a way to take a snapshot of the phone more frequently than just when there's a phone os update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I guess I can include an "Archive location" in the next version. I didnt think about that for the last one.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TooSlo:
I'm unsure why, but I'm getting the following two error messages when trying to run the backup app.

I've downloaded the most recent version of the app, and am running the x64 version of the application. I'm also running Zune software 04.07.1404.01.

I've tried running the app from multiple drives, as well as in administrator mode. I can't figure out why I'm having these types of problems.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
The program checks for zune by checking this registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Zune

Specifically this value: Installation Directory

If it cant find it in that path then it will throw the ZUNE error.

The second error shows up if it cant find the tools in their install path (its not changeable). You can hit cancel on the download/install option and in the latest version of the program use the menu to specify the path to updatewp.exe

So you are running an english language version of windows 7? xp ?

My Samsung Focus History:

Chevron unlocked; Then re-locked; Unable to re-unlock do to Zune connection error.

Walshed to NoDo; Then UnWalshed

Reinstalled OS with Factory ROM found here on XDA (Thanks to PavelX1 and all who were involved)

Experienced my first official update process last week. :D

I want to express a huge thanks for this. I'm by no means a programmer/developer. I've ALWAYS tinkered with my electronics since I was a kid. The command line method was an absolute breeze!!!! I did a FULL back-up, hard reset, and FULL restore in about 45 minutes. After restore my phone is

exactly

as it was before the hard reset. Apps/Photos/Email/Text messages/etc...

This is a great boost to my confidence for future tinkering with the Focus. Excellent time saving fall back for the mistakes I'm sure to make in the next days with my mango update attempts.

Warning for HD2 user:

use command line to do backup and update will locked your TF card and can't use it again:mad::confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kikill:
backup

Thanks but I did see post #2 and its what I used.

and when I used the wp7 backupv1.5 and v1.6 app. its the same problem.

so I was wondering if any one had manage to do a backup and want to share the process.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
For you and KiKill..

Post number 2 says this DOESNT WORK on an HD2 :(

Only one person in this thread with an HD2 has done a backup and he didnt really share how.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kikill:
ok

Ok thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joyqing:
yes the command line can do backup, no problem. But then it'll do update, after rebooting, the TF card has been locked or damaged.

So i think HD2 can't do updata via Zune otherwise you'll lose your TF card.

EDIT: I've unlocked my TF card by using Nokia 6120c to format.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
Performing a COMPLETE backup now! Impressive. I'm on my THIRD Samsung Focus, and on all three, I've run the Updates, but NEVER has it EVER successfully saved a backup. Each time I try to look for a restore point, it says there is nothing. When I go to the Backup Directory, it only has a single xml file, but NO Backup.

THANK YOU so much! I only wish I had found this before my 7390 update so I could revert back to 7004 and unlock again.

Any chance this method could be used to restore a backup from someone else's phone so I can go back to 7004? I'm guessing each backup is completely device dependant, but it's a thought...

OK, I'm putting FULL faith in your work and going to do a Phone Restore now to clear Everything out, then I'm going to try your restore and see what I end up with. Will report back shortly... I'm hoping to see my photos, apps, Text Messages, etc... :D

DAMMIT! I screwed up! Your Software did a successful backup, but I neglected to copy that backup to a different location. (:mad: at myself) When I plugged in my phone, Zune saw it as a new device, and promptly deleted my backup! ZUNE Backup/Restore SUCKS!!!!! Way worse than iTunes in that respect, and I really dislike iTunes, but at least it does a COMPLETE and safe backup of an iPhone. I've lost 100's of Text Messages I really would like to have kept...

I really prefer WP7 over iPhone, but I hope Microsoft brings Complete backup to Zune soon. That was a Major Fail on their part.

In the mean time, people like you will continue to fill in the gaps that Microsoft drops the ball on. Thank you for your work. I'm going to set up my phone, backup, and restore again and see what I get. I'm sure it will work, I just need to be more careful and backup my backup so Zune does not eat it for breakfast!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gremmmy:
Thanks for your reply! You answered all my questions, only i asked them in the wong way.. what I meant was, if I recovery with the backup files, do I get the same settings or do i get a hard resetted phone..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Supersport,

Sorry you lost your backup. Im not sure what happened there to you though?!

My test was to run the code and backup my phone. Then I FORMATTED my phone and plugged it in to zune. Zune asked me to set up my device and I did so then I restored without issue.

I am unsure that format is different than reset because I have done both in the past and the phone is stock out of the box after that.

As for restoring from one phone to another I couldnt answer that. I only have one phone :(

I can say that a while back when I got a 16GB memory stick and put it in my phone I tried to restore a backup from when it was the stock 8gb and it failed. No real comprehensive message just a failure but when I took the 16GB stick out it worked so I ended up resetting up the phone with the stick in.

I have to agree too, on demand backup should have been stock with the phone and for sure restoreable to a replacement phone. Secondly, mango should have been the OS they released with it :/

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
do i have to install the package for HD2 too because i have a mozart? where i put the pks folders?

i install all of softwares but the tools still tell me that windows support tool not installed
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
ma7ija ,

How ironic. That update is supposed to be for an HD2. Even if I found another update I couldnt test it for you because I don't have an HD2. It might be worth searching for a different update and using that. As I said in the first post the update is never applied so it shouldnt matter from where it comes. Perhaps next time there is an update you can copy it out of the DL folder.

I will look around and see what I can find out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
No problem with your tool, it appears to work Great! It has to do with Zune not doing the restore correctly.

I did a Format, Set the Phone back up, and did a backup again (Successful), but when I try to restore, it fails again with error code C101002E. I've got the backup in the correct directory, but Zune cannot see it or use it, one or the other. It's really strange... The backup is there, and it's from THIS phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
hd2leo_fusion,

What OS are you running? I tested this with Win7 x64. I don't have anything with a 32 bit OS anymore :(

The program looks for the updatewp.exe program in the c:\program files\zune folder. This is where it installed it for me. Look for that file and let me know where it is so I can modify the code to look there.

As far as the PKS file goes you can put it anywhere and point the app to it via the browse button. I put it in the c:\progam files\zune folder myself. I own a samsung focus and use this HD2 update file. The update isnt actually applied. Its purpose is to give the updatewp.exe program a legitimate update file to look at so that it will perform the backup. The program terminates updatewp.exe before it actually applies the patch.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
so i can't backup my phone with this tools (except HD2 owners) is that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
hd2leo_fusion,

It appears to the exact opposite. An HD2 owner can't use the tool with this HD2 patch but other phones can?! :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Supersport,

I'm curious.. is your phone perhaps unbranded or some such thing that is keeping zune from working right?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
No, it's a completely stock ATT Focus.

I've now successfully completed a COMPLETE RESTORE using the backup that your software created. ALL Text Messages Included, Live Account, Email Account, Pictures, Music, Everything!!! ;) Unfortunately none of my past messages from Zune Backups in the past :(, only some test messages I just created a few minutes ago, but that's not your software's fault.

For whatever reason, the Moment Zune sees my phone, it instantly deletes any backups found in the "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update" folder. What I have done, is copy the "RestorePoint" folder to my Desktop. Connect my phone, allow it to connect to Zune. When I go to the Update page in Zune, it does NOT find my update because Zune has deleted it. Without closing Zune, I copy "RestorePoint" back into the correct directory, navigate away from the update page, then back to it, and voilà, there's your backup.

It's really strange! Zune does not play nice with me. This is obviously the reason I could never do a restore after applying WP Updates. The backup DID work, but Zune would DELETE it immediately after reconnecting my phone.

I'm now going to Uninstall/Reinstall Zune and see if that makes any difference.

In the mean time, I will be using your Tool to do Regular Backups to save my Text Messages from now on. Thank you so much! :D

Is there anybody willing to do a complete backup your your Freshly Restored Focus and then send it to me so I can play around with it and see if I can get it to restore on MY phone? I'd like a Complete Backup of 7004 if possible right after a Phone Format. OH, also, I'm using a 16GB SD card, so I would assume whoever offers a backup would need to be using the same size SD Card. If not, then I'll take a backup from a phone with NO SD Card. I would remove mine just for testing purposes...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
I am just doing a backup now, because I changed my windows live id, and I cannot change it on the phone.

How do you restore the back up once its backed up?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
i use win x64,i had a dll missing with zune now windows suppor tool don't tell me anymore that zuneCfg.dll is missing but i still have the problem with the tool"can find windows suppor tool" & i install it three-four times,i create a folder into zune "me" & i copy/paste the PKS folder & i put the tool "windows phone 7 zune backup" into the same folder do not work,i try to move it on other folder but always the same

ps: i have a mozart not an HD2
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Supersport,

I have read posts on XDA and elsewhere that suggest restoring from a different phone backup doesnt work. Hypothisis abound such as the file is signed by the phone or encrypted to the phone but for whatever reason it doesnt work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Loomx,

Make sure your phone is hooked up to the computer first then from within the ZUNE software you should see a menu near the top right-hand side labeled "Settings". Click on that. On the settings screen look near the top left and you should see "Software" "Device" and "Account". Instead of device it may say "Phone".

Click on Device or Phone, whichever you see. The left edge has several options. Near the middle you should see "Update". Click that. You should see a progress bar for a few seconds and then most likely it will tell you that the phone is up to date. At the BOTTOM of all the text it spits out should be a button labeled "Restore" with the date of the backup.

You CAN'T change the memory size and perform a restore, I already know this doesnt work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
hd2leo_fusion ,

Can you find a file named updatewp.exe in the zune folder or anywhere on your device for that matter? That is what the program is looking for and won't work without it. If you do find it let me know where it is.
