Sprite Backup Error

bigearscustoms · #1 (**permalink**) 01-29-2009, 01:44 PM

i have used sprite backup for few days now with no problems. i was messing around with some stuff today, (nothing big at all) and wanted to restore to the most recent backup. i went to the file like normal, clicked it, and this is the message i get. The file 'Backup_2009-01-29' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

here is exactly what i have done with the phone from last night till now.

last night - went to settings folder, went to "about", changed device name.

today - performed sprite backup.
- downloaded PHM reg edit prog to PC, synced phone to PC, followed install instructions, checked phone to play with editor and didnt see it anywhere, soft reset, still nothing anywhere that i could tell, got scared and decided i didnt really need to mess with reg edits anyways for what i use phone for and wanted to just restore to last backup I JUST MADE and forget it even happened. and here we are with my problem.

why why why? i have 5 backups on phone memory card and they each say the same thing. how can this be fixed? why did this happen?

i duplicated that error u spoke of. dont take this in wrong, but did u go in to start/programs/sprite backup then choose to restore?
now as far as pocket rar goes, i would dload it anyway
go here dload it to PC. if u have any troubles or whatever, just PM me. its real easy to use after u use it once.
pocket rar wouldnt fix this issue, i misunderstood what u were saying earlier, but its good to have on ur device

theres one backup that i had made a while ago that seems to work when i click it from the storage card. i would rather not go back to that one though because its so long ago. but it works by going to storage card and just tapping it. the rest dont and give me that error

try this, goto start/programs/sprite backup then choose to restore?
then tap on sprite backup file, then tap next
follow instructions from here on out, cee what ya get

Unrelated, but pocket rar is a good app to have on your phone, IMO

WHAT THE HELL?!

i restored to the only backup that worked. now it wont boot up. i freezes at the damn sprint logo animation at beginning. just hard reset it
