ROM update with backup

[dataman]

okay I did the upgrade using Sprite Backup 6.1

Backedup my PPC using Sprite Backup
Upgraded to 2.17 ROM
Allowed the Rom upgrade complete also the Sprint customization
Started the backup file from storage car of PPC
after the restore and restart Here is what happened:

Restore completed, I looked at the report.. couple files could not be restored.
-My contacts , Calendar & tasks were gone. (I have a backup of contacts and calendar on computer of course)
-My old txt msgs were gone
-My MMS configuration is gone I have to reinstall that
-SPB Mobile Shell software lost its setting of speed dial contacts
- Call history & Speed Dial are gone
- The theme was changed to sprint theme (changing it back was easy)
- Voice command and most of my programs are working properly so far
- The first time you try to connect to internet on your phone, the phone will update your vision session IOTA.
- Your first ActiveSync session after upgrade will take for ever and I only have like 350 contacts.
-WORSE THING IS: your ROM version will still say 2.09
but the Rom Date is Nov 18, 2007
Radio 1.47

So at this point I am not sure if the Rom update was messed up by the restore totally or is it just file version number...

I guess I will know when I try the BT
