Hi again, upgrading the SDK and all seems ok (not tried a restore yet)

But during the backup I get a few ACCESS DENIED messages and it crashed out backing up Navigon with...

ERROR:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'Brunnel.nfs' is denied.

at System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean

recursive)

at System.IO.Directory.Delete(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive)

at WP7AppBackup.Program.Main(String[] args)

You have to re-configure your permissions in order to backup or restore Marketplace apps.

Im not bothered with backing up Navigon as I can reload etc but is it possible to have a method of skipping apps or a selection list so we can just backup the apps we want?

Thanks anyway
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
Hi

Thanks for the bug report. I've been busy with other apps the past few days, so I haven't had the time to take a look at it yet. But its crashing while trying to remove temp files from your computer, so it shouldn't be to hard to solve :).

I've been working some on an UI for the app, see the attachment for a sneak peek. Although I'll probably change the color of the background and maybe remove/change the WP7 logo. I don't want to confuse/upset anyone by making it look to much like an official app :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dr_strangetrick:
Thanks Ooije, I have just remembered...

Brunnel.nfs is a file I copied manually to my device (HD2 running Mango) I emailed the file to myself then used Touch Explorer to copy and paste to the Navigon folder.

I don't know if Brunnel.nfs has some weird set of file permissions because if was copied info the system via the back door.

Just seems odd the backup ran fine until if hit this file.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
Ok, thanks for the info :).

Looks like the folder you are trying to store the backup in (p:\wp7\backup) contains other files. Specify another path such as "p:\wp7\backup\2011-09-04" and it'll probably work :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mepis:
I'm running Mango currently so I'll figure the elevated privileges part out on my own.

But will this allow me to move app data from from device to another or is is still restricted to the same device? I'm waiting for a backup solution like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dr_strangetrick:
Just to let you know I did the backup on my HD2 running Yuki Mango 7712 and I now have the Back to the future 7720 Mango and the restore worked fine.

looking at how this works I would say it does not matter which device you backup and restore to as it sends all the files directly into the isolated storage instead of a full device backup so should be fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I have to ask a few questions

I assume this backs up games and their save settings (save points in games), as this is the big one for me. I hate nuking a phone, redownloading/sideloading my games to have to start all over and go through 10-20 levels to get back to where I was.

1. Will this do this ?

2. Will this restore to a different phone ?

My screen is cracked, I am calling insurance on Tuesday/Wendsday. If this will backup all my apps/games/ etc and restore them to my new phone once I am on the same version of software (Currently on Mango 7720.68 and I will update my phone with the same).

Just want to know if this will help me move all my settings to a new phone.

3. When will the GUI version be out ? Looks cool so far...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
Yes, most apps will work. In theory there could be a few apps which reads stuff like device ID, available RAM size and store that info in the app settings. In such cases something might not work as expected :).

Do you have any apps installed from the marketplace? I haven't managed to get the elevated privileges ("root") working in Mango. So it would be great to know if anyone else succeeded :).

1. As long as you have enough permissions on the phone (see my comment above).

2. See my and dr_strangetrick comments above.

3. "When its done" :). I have other projects with higher priority :(.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] blindpet:
Can't wait to get the GUI for this app, seems incredibly useful. It just took me over an hour to input all my TV shows for prime tv and when I flash a new (hopefully) updated ROM it'd be a huge timesaver to use your app. Thanks for all your hard work :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dr_strangetrick:
Hi Ooije, in preparation for my reload I uninstalled all apps that I did not need backing up and when I ran the backup it gave me 10 zip files but 4 were empty.

I did not have any market place apps installed at the time but the backup picked up on Angry Birds, Board Express, Endomondo, Brick Breaker and Bubble Birds and they all restored fine and my scores, levels, settings and history all worked fine.

I don't know what the other 4 items were, the backup got everything I wanted and as the restore worked I deleted the log files and backup files (sorry)

So perhaps some 'built in' apps appear as third party, maybe I dont know but this works fine.

There is another backup tool on this forum but it does not work on the HD2 (it should now I am on the new Mango) but yours does :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xCTRL:
I had a SMS backup&restore app on my galaxy S. I created a .XML backup file of my messages and have the file in my gmail. Can I use this app to restore the messages to my omnia 7?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
The application creates empty zip files for apps without data. That way it knows which apps to install from the marketplace. It'll also create empty zip files for apps it doesn't have access to do a backup on (for the same reason). :)

No. This app only supports third party app data.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Does anyone know an app that backsup SMS, etc ? that works like this app (Not tied to a phone)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dr_strangetrick:
Thanks for clearing that up Ooije, makes sense now you have explained it :)

It still seems to be some kind of policy/permission set on apps installed from the marketplace. The very same problem is removed by the root access in v2 NoDo. After updating to Mango it acts like non-rooted devices, so either parts of the root access went missing or there are some new security features in Mango. :(

I've seen that error before, updating to the latest Windows Phone Developer tools seem to have solved it :). What phone/ROM are you using?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Might I make a suggestion?

Compile with framework 2.0 if you don't need 4.0.

I know the devenv defaults to 4.0 but unless you are using those features you may be forcing people to upgrade to 4.0 when they might not otherwise have to.

Secondly, as the author of the "zune" backup tool would you mind if I incorporated your command line app in to mine?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
The app uses Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.dll, which is compiled against runtime v4.0.30319. Changing that to 2.0 would probably require some work :/.

Check your private messages for the other question :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PTK8ofBH:
So, I tried running the application under an elevated command prompt, but I'm getting "Access Denied" on all of the apps. I'm running stock NoDo 7392.

Does this only allow me to copy Isolated Storage from sideloaded XAPs, or is there a way to copy data from marketplace-downloaded apps?

Thank you VERY much
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
Another update, I can access all sideloaded apps but marketplace apps are still hidden, this is true on all programs I've used. The only work around I've found is to sideload all marketplace apps, which is a royal pain in the arse but does allow for a quick turn around
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ooije:
It does allow backup/restore of marketplace apps, unfortunately it requires elevated permissions which isn't available on a stock ROM (aka "Full root access", as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17615404&postcount=1) . It's been confirmed to work on YukiXDAs NoDo ROMs, unfortunately it stops working after applying the Mango update. I don't know if its working on the DFT ROM for HTC devices, so it would be great if someone could try it out :).

- - [MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897612)

Dameon87	2nd January 2011 07:23 PM

[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13!

Just finished porting the CWM 3.0.0.5/6 recovery.

Some notable changes are the following:

Auto EXT4 conversion system. If a partition is found to be RFS, but referenced in recovery.fstab as ext4, the system will AUTOMATICALLY convert the filesystem, backing up ALL data on the partition, and restoring it after. This may still have kinks, so if you run into any problems, simply flash your rom over it.

Removal of Amend script. This is a HUGE change for everyone using the update-script method to create flashable .zip files. ALL developers should begin using Edify scripts (updater-script and update-binary). I will post a few examples of common things below.

Color contrast changed from green on black to orange on black.

New mounting system. Partition types are no longer required to be compiled into CWM, and are instead detected from /config/recovery.fstab (Modified path to work with the redirector)

Notice: DO NOT INSTALL UNLESS YOU WANT EXT4!!!

[NEW] FOR EB13:

http://efragtv.com/android/OneClickRootCWM3-EB13.zip

NOTES FOR EB13: Auto conversion/restore seems to work 100% now. I converted and did NOT have to flash a rom over it. =]

[OLD] FOR DK28:

http://efragtv.com/android/OneClickRootCWM3.zip

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Unzip to your desktop.

2. Go into your phone and Go to settings->Applications->Development and turn on USB Debugging.

3. Now double click run.bat in the folder you unzipped. (If you are on linux ./run.sh from the folder)

4. Wait for everything to happen.

5. Use the THREE BUTTON METHOD to get to CWM3.

6. Wait for the conversion operation to finish.

7. DO NOT REBOOT!!!!

8. IF YOU ARE ON AN ODEXED ROM (DEFAULT OTA) THEN YOU NEED TO REFLASH A ROM AFTER THE CONVERSION!!!!!!! ODEXED ROMS DO NOT GET RESTORED PROPERLY!

9. Flash the Default Stock Dual FS kernel For EB13: http://efragtv.com/android/EB13-DUALFS-KERNEL.zip

10. Enjoy CWM 3.0.0.5/6

See post #2 for Edify examples vs the old Amend style.

[General Questions and Answers] mk3gtivr6:
Afternoon all!

I read everything and never post anything, but I figured since I just recently purchased this phone that I'd throw my two cents in...

The Epic CWM root apparently work only for Froyo based phones (the EB13 build) and since all the Admires I've seen have been EH02, I doubt it'd work. I can't download the files right now to check, some connection error or other, but it would probably be a waste of time anyway.

As for downgrading the phone to 2.3.3, I can't find a suitable stock firmware for the Admire of 2.3.3 ANYWHERE, even though the phone was slated to be equipped with it from the factory, so best bet would be to find someone with it and have them dump a copy to someone and then Gingerbreak it, or tweak the 2.3.4 (beyond my scope of ability right now) to allow us root access.

Hopefully we'll figure this out soon, because the garbageware is starting to grind down on my sanity.

-Aaron
[General Questions and Answers] CyX BeAtZ:
true man, sick of the bloatware already v.v i need titanium backup to work! any other useful root based software?
[General Questions and Answers] mk3gtivr6:
Apparently they were all shipped with 2.3.4, so the chances of getting our hands on that stock firmware are zero apparently.

I don't do much with root other than tether wifi and tweak the sounds and alerts and other low-level junk such as that. It's mostly just to get rid of the crapware that they insist I need even though I've lived without it for, well, ever.

Such an annoying load of junk. Ha.
