Restore SPB Backup AFTER ROM Upgrade?

[jmorton10]

I have had very very good luck using the "ROM upgrade" restore mode with SPB Backup. It almost always works perfectly for me, but I'm never sure if it will work better with the overwrite existing files box checked or not.

I think it depends on the particular ROM you flash to. I have two verizon XV6800's, but I only activate one at a time so I can use the other as a test bed for various ROM's programs etc.

I have a very very complete BU made from a system I was running originally with dcd's 3.2.6 ROM. It has every program known to man installed in it including MSVC working perfectly with blue-tooth etc

I bet I have restored that same BU to 15 different ROM's & it ALWAYS works. The thing is, it sometimes takes a couple tries to get it to work right. I flashed the one 6800 to JD's latest ROM last night as I had never tried that particular ROM before. After I restored that same BU, I got a whole bunch of errors on the next boot & nothing seemed to work quite right. I hard reset the system & restored the BU a 2nd time & after that everything worked perfectly.

I activated that ESN this morning & used the phone all day & it works great. The only things that don't work perfectly are apps that only allow you to run them on one system at a time & are telling me they are "already activated on a different system". KinomaPlay is one app that does that, so does Skyfire (although I'm not sure why they would care)
