As the author of this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103011 I have a great deal of experience with these backups.

I can tell you that changing roms can/will be tricky when trying to restore. The true purpose of these is "disaster recovery" not to jump from rom to rom.

For instance on my focus if I go back to the original OS on the phone I can not restore my 7720 backup without first upgradeing to 7720 THEN performing the restore. It seems that some backups will not restore to the phone without at least the base OS being there first.

Try it at your own risk. It shouldn't jack your phone up, just report that the restore fails if you are in that boat.

i want to add a memory card to my focus.can i backup my stuff with the backup tool and then add the memory card and the put everything back on their after i do the hard reset and format the card
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
@marchoover, the aboves question is a great one, I too would like to try it, I'm concerned about getting my unlocks back, though a reset will wipe them I suppose, I just don't want to have to start all over for something so simple, wish the sd could just be a "secondary" drive like on most devices, I alreadyhave 8107 ,I have used your backup and it works great, might just have to say wtf
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
Nope, doesnt work. You should use the appstore backup tools for this. This backup will fail on a restore to different memory size or different devices.

Backup fails on HD2 with XBmod-Yuki Build 7740 Sp1

I'm using XBMod-Yuki ROM on HD2. Build 7740 with Sp1. Zune version 4.8.2345.0. Windows 7 x32 laptop. Tried both Run as Administrator as well as normal launch.

I have seen the post about running Windows Phone Support Tool and update the phone. My only problem is that the description refers to a HTC HD7 where you are asked to start the phone with both camera button and power button pressed down (to get into update mode). The problem is that HD2 has no camera button...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Backups are full restore points of everything, including the ROM. Restoring one will downgrade your phone if an update was installed since it was made
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Update CABs modify the ROM without requiring a hard reset. This is how Zune updates your phone. Just like you don't have to reset after those, you don't have to reset after sending a ROM manually, either.

However, unless you have an unlocked bootloader, you can only use Microsoft-signed CABs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] htinstaller4u:
Still no luck

I have taken your advice and restarted. No dice. I also restarted the phone, still no luck. Also, I have noticed that after I try a backup, Zune does not auto-open when the phone is connected until I restart both my phone and the PC. My log is attached. Phone is currently running Deepshining 6 and Zune is 4.8.2345.0. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] returned4good:
Quick question. If someone were to make a backup with a lower spl such as 3.xx, the update their spl afterwards to 4.xx or 5.xx, would it restore the 3.xx spl if the backup were restored?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
SPL 4.x seems to revert when an update is restored, yes. I think SPL 5.x does not, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] returned4good:
What is so different about spl 5.xx that makes it such a pain in the ass to downgrade from? Is there a technical explanation?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sonus:
Ever since using the backup tool, I've been seeing Error 8000FFFF whenever I try to use Zune to check for updates. I'm not sure if its directly related to having the WP7 Easy Backup's deploying a fake update in order to prompt the backup creation or due to something else.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions? I am using an LG E900h (North American band version of the LG E900/Optimus 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] victorc2:
I want to read the backup without editing it.

Is it possible ?

It's for having access to SMS, in fact I can't deploy any application because the Windows Phone Developper Registration do not want to unlock my phone with a valid account.

I had a valid dev account before but the phone has relocked after 1 year and I revalid the account but unable to unlock.

So for this reason I would like to access to backup to backup my SMS.

EDIT : After a hard reset the phone wants to unlock but I do not have any data including SMS

EDIT 2 : After a restore unable to unlock the phone. I would add that I have interop unlock the phone and remove the application limit but all my custom application are revoked until I can reunlock the phone. Do you have a solution ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] victorc2:
I found the solution.

I unlock the phone by windowbreak solution and it works.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eric1204:
I would like to ask the backup can be restored correctly after reflash ROM?

I would ask is because, regardless of the HD2 or Mozart, regardless of reflash which version of ROM, as long as the reflash has never been restored successfully, regardless of any tools.

so maybe that is call " Easy Backup but Hard to Restore" !

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] patjsimpson:
So I was pretty excited to see this app. Unfortunately it would not work for what I wanted it to do. I have a first gen focus that I wanted to expand with a 32GB card. I backed up my device added the 32gb card and then performed the hard reset. When I went back to apply the old image it failed with the error. "Disaster Recovery Plugin Error: Mismatched partition size. So removed the card reset the phone again and it reapplied the image with no issues.

I guess I will just need to rebuild it then reimage it with the 32gb disk in it.

Would be great if this was possible in future builds.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yes, the solution is to read the first post.

WARNING #2: THE BACKUP PROCESS COULD LEAD TO A FAILURE ON CUSTOM ROMS! ZUNE AND ZUNE UPDATES NEED TO BE SUPPORTED BY YOUR CUSTOM ROM.

The OP tested on an HD2 using a Back-to-the-Future 7740 ROM, and it worked. Apparently HD2O doesn't. That's useful info, I suppose, but you probably could have figured out by checking which features your ROM supports.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Win7 (which I assume you're usin if your machine has 4.0 out of the box) should support 3.5 as well. If it doesn't, the app will fail to launch, and you can go get the older version then.

You can't restore a backup of one device to another. It's tied to the device ID.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply!

See the point, is it possible to change this to the new DEVICE ID? Would be great to push back this backup to my new phone...

Gr,

Solaris
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The backups are encrypted to a device-specific key that, as far as we can tell, is baked into the hardware (it seems to survive having the OS re-flashed, at least).

Short answer: No.

Besides, it wouldn't work (as in, the device probably wouldn't even boot) unless they were exactly the same model. The backup includes the full ROM, with all the firmware and drivers and such. Even if you could restore (for example) an HD7 backup to a new Titan, the phones are different enough that your shiny new Titan now simply wouldn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SolarisOnline:
Hi,

Actually the new phone is another Omnia 7 (Company Phone).. The other one, Bluetooh died so that is why I had to switch.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] siggystyle:
Solaris, forgive me if u have already stated, but did u not have a chance to sync your previous phone (via Zune/PC) prior to its failure?? If you did, getting your photos back should be as easy as connecting your new device and dragging and dropping them (or using drop-down options, if you prefer) to the new device... That would be the best way (and how I recover ALL of my photos, after flashing ROMs) to recover media (this works for music too) from an older device...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SolarisOnline:
Hi Siggystyle,

Thank you for your kind help!!

Normally there would be a sync left, unfortunately (my mistake / stupid) I forgot to sync before making this backup / hand over the device to IT department.…

Yes, of course. This is a PC app, not a phone app; it doesn't matter what device you're using as long as it runs any updatable version of WP7 (basically, anything except a few custom ROMs that broke updatability).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No. Note the part before "Besides" please. The backups are encrypted with device-specific keys. Nobody has yet been able to move a backup from one phone to another, even of the exact same model.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lordmago:
Hello!

I have HTC 7 Pro with Dynamics7 1.01b rom and it works. Never used it with stock rom, because I found this app when I started trying different custom roms...

I suppose that, since in post 1 or 13 there's written that zune and zune update must be supported by custom rom, I suppose it should also work for stock rom...

Or maybe I missed a post with the answer to this last point.

K.R.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
1. Not at all. Dev-unlock is only relevant for installing homebrew on the phone; this is a PC app.

2. It's actually more likely to work for a stock ROM than a custom ROM. This uses functionality built into the stock ROMs (but which is broken on some custom ROMs).

3. It'll work on any Windows phone (unless it has a custom ROM that breaks updateability). It uses no device-specific code of any kind. Anything from the Venue Pro to the Lumia 900 should work fine.

So, my question is: this tool backups/restores also the registry of my Windows Phone?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It is a complete backup of the phone's filesystem, except for your Zune library (which should be synced to the PC). All the user data (including apps and their data), all the ROM (including firmware), all the system files (including registry). It's the same kind of backup that Zune makes prior to installing an update.

Ok, so I have a Optimus 7/E900, and received the dreaded memory problem error. I made a backup and send it to LG, who have (hopefully) repaired it. But now when I try to restore the backup it fails with the error code 801812E0. I can't even find it on the internet. Says it can't restore the backup. What has happened? What's wrong, what am I doing wrong? Has the device ID changed?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Did you get exactly the same device, with the same hardware in it, returned? Most "repairs" are flat-out replacements, sometimes only of affected components but sometimes of the whole device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kadajawi:
Well, I don't know. The case looks the same, I left the sticker at the back and it is still there. They have added a sticker saying it was repaired...

So if they have replaced anything I don't have a chance?

Btw. the brightness sensor doesn't work anymore. Well done, LG. lol.

did you make the backup on a different OS version than what the phone is on right now? E.g. you made the backup on 7.10.8107.79, but the device is currently only on 7720? Another possibility is a change in the firmware version or radio version of the rom. In summary, reading other posts with this particular error code means you would have to either discard the backup or start with a fresh manufacturer rom and update to the os version at which you made the backup (this seemed to have worked for a few, but I doubt this will work under your circumstances).

and as gooddaytodie suggested, check the device id from your backup and what your device has at the moment:

should look like this: 56b5a2d7 - 5320bd2b - 21c71ed1 - 04fd077b

Hi!

I want to be able to send keystrokes to my Win7 tablet (actually slate) PC, so in fact I would use the phone keyboard as a wireless PC keyboard (preferably over bluetooth).

What are the best, most responsive apps/software (free or paid) for Windows Mobile and/or Android OS which would enable such functionality?

I'm mostly thinking about phone models with physical slide-out keyboard, like HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Tytn II, and some newer HTC Android devices. All models released from (roughly) late 2007 to late 2010.
