Guest blazingwolf Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 if i use spb backup and do the entire thing and update firmware, will my phone be able to get it back? Hmm, probably not. Sprite has their backup software that is supposed to work over ROMs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JDawg183 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 i think i almost got it! trying to back it up... whats the easiest way to back up everything? or at least just the contacts? myphone.microsoft.com backs up pictures, contacts, documents, everything but the firmware basically, and does it over the cloud. Can add contacts and calender items from your computer, no need to connect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can add contacts and calender items from your computer, no need to connect it. I'm using that too, it's just a tad buggy sometimes, specially when you want to make a quick backup. Didn't realize they had added that it in. Thanks for the info. no problem. I also got hidden menu enabled, did not realize it was for the codes in the dialer. I'm also trying to get my omnia to flash, but I'm on windows 7 x64 and from what I have gathered, every time the omnia reboots with the usb inserted, it will reconnect and disconnect shortly after. I'm hoping VZW does not have some sort of different cable for programming... Any clues on that one? Edited April 8, 2009 by avluis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WoZZeR999 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 It looks like the "updatebin" is the program running with *#9910#. I'm looking into it more, but it may have a built in function to update the rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skyhawk21 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 im gonna say this one more time as clear as day.. it does not matter what you do.. the phone has to be powered up in a firmware flash mode with usb enabled so pc sees it so it can send the firmware while the phone is waiting for it before even booting up windows mobile, nothing you do in windows mobile is going to fix that you need to force the phone into flash mode after reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if setting the phone to something specific would help. So we play. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
