Same old error !

Hi All

Back up tool V1.9

Win Vista X64 ultimate

Zune 4.8.2345.0

WP Support Tool 4.8.2345.0

Been trying to take a backup all day but no joy -

Rolled back to Zune 4.7 and was able to take back up but then I cant connect my phone to sync media as Zune wants to force an update to 4.8

I have also tried different versions of the back up tool (1.4 & 1.6)

I did have the tool working but then left it for a month or two without taking any back up then when I went to take a backup I get the below error.

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WM7UpdateLib, Version=4.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.

Getting this error code. I'm using Windows 7 64bit. I have an HTC HD7 with 7720

Basically got this after trying to run it after going through the first couple steps. After I installed Windows Phone Support Tool, I got this...

D:\Users\Reony\Windows Phone\WP7-Update-Cab-Sender\tools\x64\zune.exe

Is there a way to start over? It seems like I can't remove this error and start from step 1. Are there some files I need to delete somewhere on my PC to start over? Hope this makes sense.:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Can anyone answer this ? I still have a VM just sitting there waiting to figure this one out for the best way to do this.

I managed to find a FFu file via google search, and ta version of zune and the updatewp files (ver 4.7) that worked with out the errors noted here on page 2.

I will try to find a file upload service and zip up the total file package if someone needs it

An error occured...

First try, and got this right off the bat after trying to run the exe :(

D:\Users\Reony\Windows Phone\WP7-Update-Cab-Sender\tools\x64\zune.exe

What is this... Please help? When I went to that path, zune.exe is not even there. I'm also using the latest version of Zune 4.8. Is that an issue?

Windows 7 64bit

HTC HD7 OS 7720.68
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jaminroe:
Okay, so what I did to get around that was to initially put a copy of zune.exe in that path. From there things were working. Now my only question is this. Will this totally work as a backup/restore (including game states) with Zune 4.8, WP Support Tool v2 and using the v1.9 tool? I did read your bold text at the top fyi.

Now my phone is also stuck on the black screen to plug in the USB cable. Whats going on?? :(

Folks,

I have worked on or looked at this in months. Isolated storeage backup seems to be far more usefull and practical considering all the problems people have with restoring these backups to a different OS and can't to a different device or memory size changed device.

How to uninstall lWindows Phone 7 Zune Backup ?

I am running Win7x64. How do I uninstall the Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup program?

I believe I botched the original install because when I click on the application, I hear the fan begin to spin in my laptop as if it is loading the program but nothing never appears.

It is SURELY user error on my part and I would like to start over.

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
If you are talking about my app, it doesnt install. You just unzip and run...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] willdarko:
The story is this... I've updated my phone first to 8112 and I used like 4 language packs, everything was OK, so I did the 8773 update using more languages (I believe six of them) and now I can't access to the about section (no, I cannot do a hard reset) to the WIFI settings, also to the add new email, the thing is that I cant restore it also because zune keep saying to me that I have no restore point in this PC (thats wrong, i DO have one) and theres nothing that I can do...

I've tried to send the language packs in order but the phone keeps telling me "update unsuccesful" So... What can I do? How can I reinstall new software or restore it? HELP PLEASE!

Hi,

Thanks for the tool. Does it save any config file anywhere as I by mistake changed path under one of the options and now keep on getting error not a valid Win32 application.

Thanks

@up

Maybe you downloaded x64 version and you are using 32-bit Windows?

I have just tried using this tool for a very first time.

OS: Windows Vista SP2 x86

Zune: 4.8.235.0

Phone: HTC 7 Pro

Phone OS: DFT Freedom ROM 7740 (Mango)

I replaced ZuneWDM.dll with the one mentioned in the first post. Then I run Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup (v1.9 x86). Doesn't matter if I run it as an administrator or not. All I get is an error message:

Input string was not in a correct format.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryu34:
so I backed up my phone prior to sending some cabs and when the cab send failed my phone went into an endless reboot cycle.

I tried to restore using the app, but it always says no phone connected.

I tried putting the phone in download mode as well as install Samsung drivers - no luck.

Is it possible to restore these backups using the USB image downloaded or some other tool?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
My suggestion would be to get an OS on the phone that boots, upgrade it to whateve OS version you had before THEN perform the restore.

This tool ONLY does what Zune is capable of doing. A full backup/restore using tools microsoft provided.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
That is because I suck at globalization =/

There are other tools on this forum that do the same thing and might work better for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ainaruth:
But I work on English version of Vista.. what does it have to do with globalization?

Or do you mean Phone OS language?

What stuff are backed up ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BlackFire_PR:
I'm not able to run the tool. When double-clicking "Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup.exe" I always get the following error:

The specified executable is not a valid Win32 application.

I'm using:

Windows 7 64-bit

Zune 4.8

I see that other people received the same error, but I don't see any instructions to address this error. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Seems to be working now. I re-downloaded version 1.9, and extracted it to a different location (C:\LumiaBackup). It is now running the backup. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] minkamagic:
HELP!

I downgraded Zune to 4.7 and did a successful backup. Then I upgraded to 4.8 so I could also do a regular backup with Zune (pictures, etc). I factory reset my phone to hopefully resolve some issues I was having and then hooked it up to restore all my stuff (from the complete backup with your program). I received an error message saying the installed version of the tool needed to be updated to match the Zune version. I was able to update it, but then your Backup Tool said that it needed Zune 4.7 to be on the computer because it needed a certain file. So I uninstalled Zune and reinstalled 4.7

Now I'm getting the error message:

I reread through your description and moved the PKS and Application file to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update, but still no luck.

As long as the PKS file is around, I didn't lose all my stuff... right????
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Short answer, sounds like yes you have no backup in the normal zune backup path. When you upgrade Zune it wipes out backups stored there. I am unclear on what you did with your backups when you say you downgraded to 4.7 and did a backup then did a 4.8 backup?!

When my program runs and you choose to do another backup when one exists it asks if you want to archive it. If you did this then you have a backup stored elsewhere.

This is the NORMAL Zune backup path. Paste it in to a run dialog and hit enter:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update

This is where a restore is performed from.

This is where my program puts a backup IF you choose to archive a backup:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup Archive

There is a backup management menu at the top with which you can browse any archived backups and put one back for restore. At this point though if you do have an archive you might want to copy it off to a safe location.

At any rate, if neither path I gave you above contains backups then I am afraid you have none to restore.

For future reference install 4.7 then copy off the zune folder in program files and look at the registry entry for it:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Zune

The Current Version value is what you want.

Now upgrade to 4.8.

To switch zune version I just make sure all Zune processes are terminated and then rename the program files\Zune path to Zune4.8 (assuming I have 4.8 installed last). I have 4.7 under program files as Zune4.7 which I just rename to Zune. Then I change the CurrentVersion registry value to reflect either the full 4.7 value or the proper full 4.8 value depending on which zune I want to backup with. When the backup tool runs it will run as whichever zune and winphone tools copy you set to be the "live" version.

Having said all that, i am not working on this anymore. Plenty of people have copied this technique and use it in their own backup tools which they are still supporting. You might want to look in to one of those.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sentimentGX4:
I'm getting the following message.

"An error occurred while performing the backup. The error text will be in the clipboard. The error text is:

The installed version of ZuneWMDU(4.7.1401.0) doesn't match the tool version (4.8.2134.0)."

I have Zune 4.8 on 64-bit Windows 8. How do I fix this? (Or find Zune 4.7?) Isn't the ZuneWMDU(4.7.1401.0) supposed to patch the program to work with Zune 4.8???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] quannv_vp:
i can back up and resotore with v1.9 but it say that it cannot resotore from previous backup by zune 4.8 before update, could u help me to restore to files backup by zune. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I don't really work with this anymore and have pretty much thrown in the towel on WP.

Zune can perform the restore just as well as the app but I don't know that you can make a backup with one version of zune and restore it with a newer version. You might have to downgrade Zune to do that.

If you mean you upgraded the device and cant restore a backup of a former version this, that is discussed im the first post. You might have to revert the ROM before restoring the backup.

Try the Windows Mobile Device Recovery tool. I believe that’s the latest tool for phones.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] poceh:
Currently I don't own a native WP7 phone, so I can't experiment with this 4MB chunk files that the update tool is creating. Can someone of you upload his backup files somewhere (don't worry I won't restore it, I don't have a device for that, or if you want make a backup on a clean ROM) ? And send me a link to these files?

I want to try and see how these files can be patched for unlocking. In fact we can use the following procedure:

* on a locked phone, initiate a full backup with this tool;

* patch the registry in the backup files;

* use the Zune software to restore the backup back to the phone.

I'm pretty sure this is much easy than tampering with the update files, becuase the update files from Microsoft are pretty well signed, which I highly doubt for the restore files.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
I wont upload my back up because its near enough 32gb! but... if the backup does reload my live account over the new one I have set, I will have to reset the phone, so will do a back up of the blank phone and then upload that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I'm zipping mine up & will upload it tomorrow. I'll send you the link through PM. It's about a 4 GB Back-up & Developer Unlocked post NoDo (Not Chevron).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Loomx,

It is a complete restore if the device as it was when backed. Right now this is all that Zune will do. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] venelar:
Just wanted to say thanks for this. I now have a backup for my venue pro, just in case.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
No, the backup is signed (and encrypted, I think). If you change anything there it won't work. This was tried already.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
The patch has to be signed. Not sure by who exactly but I do know that is the case. I tried to use an empty file with a .PKS extension and I received that error from the updatewp executeable.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
The only thing I have seen is you can't take it from one phone to another.

Where did you read this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
In the "Let's jailbreak NoDo" thread, I think.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] StevieBallz:
Yes - the possibility of using a backup for Jailbreaking has been explored in the "Let's jailbreak NoDo thread". The problem seems to be that the Backup is signed and the phone rejects it if it has been tampered with. Although the major concern when doing so was to prevent restore of a corrupted Backup which would brick the phone.

A user on pocketpc.ch has performed 2 backups and was able to flash either of them - he just had to copy the original backup before making the second. If he started Zune and there were 2 backups present the older one got deleted automatically.

But basically you just have to copy the correct Backup in place for Zune to see it and then restore from there.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
You can get the file from a backup of my 7008 and read more about the fail of using my backup on my wife's phone in the "using another phones backup" thread in this same forum
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I can now confirm that this works on a computer that is not the "primary" one for your system. I just performed a backup on my work PC and ZUNE showed it as an option to restore.

I DID NOT perform the restore as it takes over an hour and I don't have time but the backup was done.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
i install zune not on my system disk but on another,maybe this is why it goes wrong? but it always remains "download WPST" but it already install

i do not understand why it not localise it :(

ps : zune is install on F: but i have a folder zune in program(not program files) into the C:

the path into the register from F:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Ok so Zune is NOT installed to C:\program files\zune

but the Windows Phone Support Tools ARE installed at c:\program files\zune

Is that what you are saying?

I screwed up the command line above and left something out (in bold):

updatewp.exe /IU "FullPathtoupdatefile.PKS" /enablebackup
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
yes WPST is in there c:\program\zune

ok thkx i will try
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
I'm downloading it now and will definitely report if I get ANY success on my phone.

EDIT: After trying many different scenarios, I've come up empty handed. It was worth a try though. I got it to start the restore, but then it fails at the point where the files are about to be sent to the phone.

FYI: I'm speaking here about restoring a backup from ANOTHER phone to MY phone. That's what does not work. Using this tool to backup MY phone and restore to MY phone works flawlessly!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
What is the path to Zune if I may ask then?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
zune is in F:\program files
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
ok i have that when i try your method
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
The PKS File: A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks

is also in c:\program files\Zune ?

Your not doing this on an HD2 are you?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
i put the pks file in C:\

no i have a HTC 7 mozart ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
So then your command line should look like this:

updatewp.exe /IU "C:\A0CE706D-12B7-45AC-A5FC-AD04DFCA6E86.100.pks" /enablebackup

I just checked the installer and it doesnt give you a choice on where to put the phone tools. I will just assume c:\program files\zune in my code. I assumed it went wherever zune was installed. I will update it this evening.

Editting to add:

I just opened up the MSI and sure enough its HARD CODED to program files\zune
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
thankx for the help,i can't do the backup,it do the same errors like before
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:

backup tools

Hello all i just post here i have try the backup and follow all instruction and it's works great on HTC HD7:

-Install the "Windows Phone Support tool"

-Extract "Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup" on my desktop

-Download the *.pks file and put it on my desktop too

-Run "Windows Phone 7 Zune Backup" i see the error like you said

-Reboot the phone

-Launch zune and my backup was 1 june ^^ so thanks man.

For information i use WP7 with nodo uppdate no unlock on a windows seven x64
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
New features added today:

1. Archive of old backups instead of overwriting them if you choose to do so.

2. Restore of active backup or review archive and switch one of them to the active backup and then restore it automatically.

I would suggest checking the backups occassionally. I did it once at work today and when I chose restore it told me the backup was invalid. First time that has happened. I had to hit restore and it told me it was invalid before prompting me to begin with the "Your phone will be wiped and restore to X date...." message.

If you have multiple devices the archived backups will not be filtered by device because I dont know how yet.

I have seen an error during restore once you either choose to use the active backup or pick an archived one that says the "handshaking failed" between the phone and the computer. I just replugged in the USB cable and it worked fine after that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
This is awesome stuff! I'm so glad somebody finally did this. It would be great to have a way to make incremental backups (instead of spending 30 minutes with the phone tethered and burn 16GB of space) but this is still a HUGE step forward.

One thing that might make for a simple improvement: if you refelct/decompile updatewp.exe, you may be able to find a way to call the "do a backup" function directly, without needing to spoof an update. Among other things, that would allow people to avoid the need to download the update package.

Anyhow, massive thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] slysy:
If I backup, flash a new firmware, then restore using this tool, will it retain the firmware update I flashed?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barrychon:
Question (might be obvious): Does this back up everything? Or just certain pieces of info on the phone?

ie. if I hard reset my phone and then restore, would it be the exact same before I did a hard rest?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] munkeyphyst:
yes.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barrychon:
Thank you!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
This is a complete phone backup so a restore will also be complete. In other words the phone will be EXACTLY as it was when you backed it up after a restore. Nothing you changed from the date of the backup forward will persist.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] timmymarsh:
This is a great step forwards, been lurking for w while on this one. As previously said, it would be great to have a stand alone app for doing a backup/restore or one that resides on the device itself like sprite backup for the old winmo os.

Im actually amazed that Schapps hasnt thought of this and made it part of touch experience ;)

Well done so far and keep going :)

i have this error code when i try to do the backup
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
hd2leo_fusion,

Can you check in ZUNE to see if you actually have a backup to restore?

The error code means:

801812C0

Did the backup step take place or was this the first thing you saw?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Interesting thought, I am looking at it via relector now.

the first time i launch the tools i ask me if i want to deplace or writing on the existing backup,i check to no deplace them & erase it (i have my previous backup on an external drive ;) ) & then it give my this error code

so now my backup disapear on zune
