Re: Permanent Save

hi khashim,

actually i still have some ideas .. but i really havnt try it yet .. ill just check if that will work .. BUT .. there is another ideas that i have that ive already tried and does work on us (in himalaya but not sure in blue angel)

Maybe this is an addition to the WIKI but i need a confirmation first if it will work in BA.. the method was first use by the Legendary Sin .. in his .. materpiece .. Sins Himalaya 2.02.t1.WWE & 2.06.00WWE Merged ROM v2.0, and although the intention is different to this thread (but the same in Sins Merged ROM) we also use this method in my XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS

Heres the Procedures

1. First Perform a Hard Reset with Your Cooked Extended ROM (its Oki if you still havent created a CAB with your Preferred SEttings)

2. then Set Everything to your preffered Settings .. like the Owner Info, the GMT and the Regional Settings .. or any other settings that you want, Also restore your contacts and create your POP3 or your IMAP4 Configuration, also set your MMS and GPRS configuration , i mean set it all as if you are ready to use your device .. :)

3. Now download the Sprite BackUp 3.14 or the Pre Release Version of Sprite Backup (not sure if this is already been release)

4. Run and install the Program in your Device

5. Then RUN the Sprite Backup, GO to Advanced Mode(Options->Switch to Advanced Mode) Set everything

except

the "Encrypt Backup" in General Backup Options .. Options->Backup Options->General Backup Options

6. then Backup your Device and Wait, Now it will create an Self-Restoring Exe Backup File, test it first if will wor, run the exe file .. then you will see the Sprite Backup Advance Restore Dialog Box.. test if it will restore the backup that you have(make sure that the file is in exe)

7. Now Rename the File to ..AutoRun.Exe..

8. Then delete everything in your Extended ROM(make sure you already have a backup of your cooked Extended ROM, just in case something goes wrong) and then place the AutoRun.exe(the self-restoring Compressed backup) to your Extended ROM

9. then Perform a Hard Reset

the idea is to create a Self Restoring Compressed backup using the Sprite Backup Software .. then Restore it during the hardreset .. the CheckAutorun.exe (found in your windows directory) will call the Autorun.exe in your Extended ROM during the hard reset and because we rename the Backup to AutoRun.exe it will popup the Sprite Backup Advance Restore Procedures instead of the usual Autorun.exe cab installation..

.

but in you want to just include it to your config.txt

-> just make sure you rename it to something else like ExtROM.exe

then in config.txt

add this

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\ExtROM.exe

CPY2:\Windows\ExtROM.exe

EXEC:\Windows\ExtROM.exe

.. but i prefer the Autorun.exe trick

PS .. i only try it bro with himalaya and not sure if this will work in BA.. i forgot also if the GMT can be set .. i cant remember but i think it will reset to -8 Pacific USA during Sprite Backup but im not sure(i still dont have my device yet) .. and also sorry bro for always late reply .. i only have one to two hours to take a glimpse in my computer .. i little busy lately especially in my work eh.. sowee .. :)
