Very Confused .. Sprite or SPB Backup - restore Help!

Very Confused .. Sprite or SPB Backup - restore Help!

Ok .. I just dont get the sprite backup restore it says ..

---------------------------------
Merge Level 1: Use this option to perform restore operations between the same devices with
different ROM revisions. For example: restoring from a KJAM ROM 2.16.9 to a KJAM AKU2 ROM
version.
Merge Level 2: Use this option when you wish to restore across devices and ROM versions. For
example: When restoring a backup file created on a WM2005 KJAM device onto a WM 2006
JAZJAR device.
Merge Level 3: If your device does not boot after performing a ‘ROM Upgrade’ or ‘Device
Upgrade’ restore use the ‘Merge Level 3’ operation.
---------------------------------------------------

So if I install something that I dont want ( Screws Up My Phone )
Or change a reg setting .. and want to undo it ?????

What Level do I want to use ? Seems all levels "merge" Not replace?

Or Better asked .. How the hell do I restore my phone to before I scewed with it ?


Help !

Re: Very Confused .. Sprite or SPB Backup - restore Help!

SPB is much better than Sprite... I've used both extensively and canned Sprite... just doesn't live up to the promise despite having some interesting restore options...

Re: Very Confused .. Sprite or SPB Backup - restore Help!

I backup as soon as I get things customized the way I like. If I ever mess something up I hard-reset and then restore from the backup. Then you won't have to worry about your latest change messing up the restore.

Edit: I use SPB Backup for that.

+1 on SPB. Plus you can restore a backup on a fleshly hard reset phone without having to install SPB first. You just tap on the backup in file explorer and off it goes.

Note: If you are going from 1 rom to another or even the same rom but different build date, you should only restore your PIM and Documents. Restoring System could alter a different rom or the updates to a rom.

Good point. It is important that those who are new to this process take heed.

I agree 100%.

I have both apps but I don't even bother installing Sprite anymore.
