Recommended Posts

what phone? I have seen that happen from time to time, it usually means the certificate store has been foobaa'd and Sprite can't add its own certificate into the store.

PS: katan, that start menu issue has been marked as a bug, the next release will automaticlly cleanup your start menu, deleteing any entries that arn't in the backup.

have encountered the certification problem, i am not using a certified locked phone. only a Sim locked one...

pretty weird... Hard reset! hehe :lol: good thing it wasn't Sprite that can't be installed. it was SmartFilter, after my Hard Reset and restoration it won't load saying my phone is not fully unlocked... really weird! so i did Hard reset again and restoration, and whoala! its back to normal! do you guys think its a bug from Sprite program? or my phone just turned into Dumbphone that day?!? :shock:

8) :lol: :)

@g4mb17

i've been checking clean phone option whenever i am restoring, and the start menu items are restored without the others shortcuts...

If you hard reset your phone you must APP unlock your phone again (using the orange website) as your phone will once again become locked.

as of what i know, only Orange phones are APP locked. im using Smart ROM that i changed to i-Mate and soon i will be changing to Qtek, this is not APP Locked.

"Smartphone turned to Dumbphone for awhile there..." now its Smartphone again!

i Love my SAP SAP! :)

Ouch got me there mike-oh. Is it an Orange MPX or a AT&T or other?

Orange! :)

Snot fair! I wanna back up my phone!

Bingo! no wait you unlocked it. curses!

well i'm sure thats not helping, last i checked sprite was trying to get signed by orange, but nothing much was happening, as orange doesn't appear to have a well defined process, but they had expressed they would be keen to do it. So i think the ball is mostly in oranges court.

If you know your way around a smartphone well you could just grab the files out of the .CAB yourself, but it wont be able to backup everything. But i stress you need to know what your doing here.

You could try posting on the Sprite forums, but not garentees there.

Also if you have the US phone and it says locked with Sprite, trying turning the phone to Airplane Mode. That worked for me.

I installed it in sd card of my qtek 8080 but when i try to run the app,it gives me an error :

"Failed to load resources."

What's wrong?

Guest abatis

Are you trying to run Sprite Setup, find

the file Sprite Backup for Smartphone and run it..

Guest jimbou

I ran the setup,and then i try to run the shortcut in my start menu and it says

"Failed to load resources."

Guest g4mb17

in the program filessprite(*#$%# directory is there two files,

Sprite Backup for Smartphone.exe

and

Sprite Backup for Smartphone.exe.0409.mui

? are you using the version 1.0 available from their website, and NOT the verizon version? This should happen for two reason, either it didn't find the resource mui file, or it wasn't correctly signed, which i believe they did on the verizon beta version.

Just did my first Sprite Restore after buying it a week or so ago... Overall, seems very cool and easy to recover after a hard reset....

A few things to note though.....

- After the restore it said done, then said cleaning up for ages. I waited a while (like 4 min), then rebooted my phone.

- Shortcuts/Speed Dials were not restored.

- Didn't restore my XBar2 key, had to re-enter it.

- Had to re-install Richies alarm plugin.

- Didn't restore any of my homescreens. Nothing under ApplicationsHome except what's there after a hard reset.

- *Edit 1: Profile settings were not restored.

Even with these few little things I'd still recommend the app as it did make it so much easier to recover after a hard reset. It appears that with the exception of the above my phone is just as it was before the hard reset... :)

I'll post anything else I notice if anything else comes up.

Cleaning up can take 20 mins. You re-booted your phone too soon. Do it again and leave your phone until it has completely finished. It can take an hour or so for a full restore. It will work faultlessly.

Agreed. It's worked flawlessly for me a couple of times now :)

The only problem I've had is having to set up my contacts on IA Caller ID again, though that may have been caused by the ROM upgrade :)

I just realized :oops: that I have been only restoring system data and maybe that's why I didn't get my homescreens, shortcuts, profiles, and XBar2 Key back??? I purposely backup/restore system data only because I didn't want to have duplicate tasks/calendar/contacts if I restore everything, delete partnership on my pc (need to do for other reasons), re-establish partnership, sync back up....

Actually, anyone know if I will for sure get duplicates when I do this or will I have the option to say overwrite all data on the phone (I recall seeing this before)... I think I may give it a shot tomorrow restoring to see what happens since I'm getting a new work PC...

Also, it's not clear to me what Sprite backs up with just the personal data or just the system data options... Anyone know? I've looked on Sprite's website but couldn't find this info....

Hey Guys,  

 

We have just made a pre-release of version 2.0 available here:  

 

Sprite Backup for Smartphone Pre-Release 2.0  

 

It takes care of all signing issues etc. If you are in quick enough, you may receive a free license to the full version.  

 

regards,

Sprite Software

Is this quick enough? 8)

I just sent a message to your support that I need a reg code as my 1.0 reg code doesn't work. I could see that it is running in privileged mode on my 220 though.

On my 220 it gets about 1/4 way through a restore and just crashes. No error message, nothing.
