Guest Coucou Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 This was one of the reasons I switched to Treo, although Sprite sounds interesting. I was really naffed off with the fuss of a Hard reset, which had happened a few times. If I have to do a hard reset on my Treo600 (I have had to once in the last three months) I simply plug it in and press the Hotsync button :D I even had a replacement handset, plugged it in, pressed the button, and it was my old handset!

Guest Maverick Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Same routine as everyone else with one variation... I curse Orange and MS everytime I do it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Kevlar - definately the Sprite route if you ask me. I've just used the trial version and it's a piece-of-p*ss. Had to be!! Just enough options to make it interesting but not confusing / baffling. Free trial from the link posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I do about the same, but got no idea what shell config is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crispy Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Seems to me we need a tutorial on how best to do this. I mean for example ........how? and .......eh, what's this about? Ok, I've put together a small selection of batch files and cab inf scripts so you can see what I mean... Please note that this could very likely be done in a much easier way ...Crispy_stuff.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevlar Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Thanks m8, I'll take a look, although I must point out I downloaded the sprite backup trial yeasterday, and nothing could be easier. Not sure if it covers everything though so I will check out your system too. cheers Kevlar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I tend to go a bit more like mono. I have several folders on the PC of apps, games, freeware etc that I've built up, so after a hard reset I usually end up installing something different than I had before - just for a wee change. That, and when I hard reset, I don't really want my phone to go immeidately back to the old clutered up mess that it was before. I think thats why I have stayed away from the backup apps like sprite/allbackup. Usual routine is ... save all junk via activestink run clear storage on e200 open a website on ie, then OTA unlock install/register smart explorer & task manager install notepad, PHM registry edit install homescreen plugins & homescreen install whatever games, apps I feel like playing with :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Does any of these methods allow to transfer the backup to another phone (I got a new SPV E100, and would like to "copy-paste" everything from mine to this one) ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 With Sprite, as long as you have the app. loaded on both phones, it should work. Do not try to copy from (say) an E100 to an E200 or MPx to E200 because of the differences (eg IPSM Storage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobPowell Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Wow sprite is cool! BUT I didn't install the GSM image when I went to 2003, so if I hard reset and install that, then put my existing sprite image on, will it them overwrite the GSM fix?? "- Install and Activate Traffic Counter" I can't get this working, which do you use and is it free? "- Install Done in 50 Seconds " sounds good, what's that? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 No, Sprite doesn't mess with the base level OS. I use All Location GPRS Traffic Counter, not free. Done in 50 Seconds is a cool game by AIM Productions, again, not free ;-) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
