Backup & Upgrade

[Guest tronicx]

Hi guys - first post... Wicked forum btw, I signed up before getting my C500 on Thursday and have found tonnes of usefull apps and homescreen tips etc. Written my own already! ;)

Anyways - After installing and customising the phone so much I then find Orange have released an update for it. Bugger. :roll:

I'm sure there's one out there, but I haven't found it yet:

I need a 'best-practice' guide / HOWTO on backing up the phone's current state (settings, customisations, installed applications etc). So when I do the update I can simple reinstate all the wonderful stuff.

Thanks All - Jim.

Welcome to the forum ;)

Firstly, we're still waiting for the Orange UK update - I'd be inclined to wait for this rather than faffing about with the French one.

Secondly, the best backup software comes from Sprite :

Ahh - Thanks for the prompt response - I'll go checkout the backup software.

The Orange update I was referring to is this one.

Which apprently updates C500 to Operator [ROM] verison 4.1.1.1 - as mine only reports to have 4.1.1.0 I thought it might be a good idea to get it.

Cheers -Jim

My understanding is that only the first 2 digits are relevant. The last one is a location code I believe.

If you've just bought your C500 you should have the latest software.

Ahh right, ok then. I was under the impression this was a general update as it includes protocol updates (like from GPRS v8 to v10) etc etc.

I'll hold off for now then till I work out further details.

For ref - I have the Silver C500 - Version 4.21.1088
