Xperia X10 :: Error With Backup And Restore After Installing 2.1 Update?
Nov 17, 2010
just updated my xperia x10 to the new 2.1 op. Followed the instalation to the letter, backed up my files using the new backup n restore etc, updated it n then began the restore, now this is the frustration part. i did everything SE said to do even did 2 backups but when i try to restore it takes ages n then says could not complete. not only have i lost all contacts but more frustrating i have lost all my apps, both paid and free. my google account seems to be wrong although i cant realy remember it, tryed to get the user name/password sent to my hotmail but seems to of created a new account n i dont have these "links to re-downloads" ur android apps.
have tried all ways to restore my phone after the disaster upgrade and subsequently losing everything - i have installed OI file and astra, and have got a zip version of backup and resstore onto SD but i cant open it any way, i always get 'file not restored' or 'parse' or parsed error???? i dont understand and am beside myself as i need to get back my info urgently..... i know my backup file exists on the sd card as when i mount on computer i can see it in the files?
Having installed the update I then went into back up and restore to restore my phone settings but it hasn't worked properly. Only about 20% of my phone book is showing and it says the SIM card is not available, none of my Apps returned and a theme I paid £1.99 for hasn't loaded properly as it's only got the wallpaper and none of the modified icons.My full contact list is still on the SIM card as I checked it in my previous phone that my Dad now has so why isn't it appearing on my phone? It's extremely inconvenient not having access to it as I don't have a back up anywhere else and most of the missing numbers are the ones I use regularly.
Ok, i have updated my phone so many times and nothing has ever gone wrong, i have always backed up my files in the "Backup and Restore" App and there has never been a problem. I have just updated my phone with latest update and it has wiped my Apps including the "Backup and Restore" app! (My files are always sent to my memory card with no problem) Now i cannot restore any of my files and its really F***ed me off, The Xperia 10 has to be the faultiest phone i have ever had, even when the phone is locked and in my pocket it manages to change my settings and forwards messages to random people!
Yesterday i uploaded the 2.3 software for my Xperia x10. did all the stuff that i was told on the Sony Ericsson PC Companion... backed up all the stuff i wanted to keep.. using backup and restore.. When i tried to restore my stuff from my SD card i found out i could not load the backup and restore software.
how i can go about getting my stuff back, contacts and text from SD card to my phone...
I know how to backup & restore, but how do I install it in to my X10?.I go to browser I in put m.sonyericsson.com/backup but it just taks me to a page that tells me how to backup in steps.Why can I just hit a link on that page that will just let me install the new backup & restore,
Yesterday I made a backup file with the sony ericsson program "backup & restore" and after the update i can't find this tool on the new version of android.I tried it with the URL behind the QR-code on the ericsson website. The download was possible, but when I want to install this tool then the phone says the application is not installed.
Before i installed the update i installed and made a backup with backup and restore and now after i updated the phone i cant seem to install it again. When i press to install it it loads for 1 sec and then sais "Program couldnt install" but in swedish ofc. ofc i have allowed the unknown sources thingy and it still doesent work..

New Sony Ericsson software is now available for your phone. Update your software to get the latest features and corrections, and to keep your phone in the best possible condition.When the new software is available, you may receive a message in the notification bar of your phone. The easiest way to get the new software is to accept this update.
Today I went to update my X10. While at work it wouldn't allow me to as it insisted I connected it to a computer. So at home I got the USB cabled hooked up to my Linux Laptop and then discovered it had to be a windows computer.Anyway, I got it hooked to a Windows computer and the update process began. I followed every instruction and set all tickboxes for backup.After unplugging this and plugging it back in and rebooting here and there, it finally reached the restore process.I left it restoring for a while. When I came back to it, it said something had crashed. I don't know what as I'd just woken from a nap.But, it seems all my applications are restored. Yet my gmail account & Facebook account have become disassociated from my phone and all my contacts no longer have any names or pictures. I opened the contacts/phone book and the list is completely empty. tried to import contacts but it says it cannot find any anywhere.
My iPhone4 is stuck in the dreaded loop after going to install the new update today. It always "restores" then displays the same "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode" message.
My 'backup and restore' app won't back up my text messages... it backs up the other things on the list for example the contacts, call logs, brower history etc. I would like to save the messages before I update my phone.Or unless there is another way of saving my messages, i.e. saving them onto a pc or something.I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
I had faced this issue when i last updated my phone when the 2.1 had come out.. I installed the latest Backup and Restore application as recomended by the SE update site.. Then backed up my files onto an already existing backup (which i think has corrupted the backup), hence overwriting the file.. After that i upgraded to 2.1 and restored my files, which failed because the contacts were not successfully imported (even though the Backup and Restore app said that the import was succesful.)
i was asked to repair the firmware using PC companion and hence want to backup succesfully without any problems. I cant risk loosing my contacts again. And i want to know from others in this forum if they have faced this issue on normal backup (not overwritten on an existing backup). [URL]
Once i click 'update now', it allows me to agree to terms and conditions, but once i select 'agree' it comes up with, "Unable to install update, An error occurred installing iOS 8.1.1". this happens every time i try to update.
I went to the Verizon place a couple of days ago to see if they could get my phone to stop freezing and running slow. Well they accidentally deleted over half my pictures and my phone is the only place I have those pictures. Well luckily, I thought, I have a backup file and my pictures will be on there. But whenever I try to run it I get the error "data not recognized by desktop!" Some of these pictures are really really important to me and I want them back. Is there anything I can do to make the backup file work? Will it even contain the pictures? I have a blackberry storm and the verizon place said I have the most updated software.
I've just updated my iPhone and trying to restore from iTunes back up. iTunes is asking me for a password...I can't remember what it is? Any way I can find out?
I recently updated to 5.02 from 4.4.4. Everything is fine except that I made my backup via "backup and restore" app on my 4.4.4 Z2. Now the problem is, 5.02 B&R app states that my file is now incompatible.
I have searched Google for any work-around and try downloading few preloaded non-xperia Z2 apks but not working. Also searched this forum but none found.
When I go to m.sonyericsson.com/backup I get 'Cannot find message associated with key http.550' message. I would like to upgrade to Android 2.1 on my X10 mini.
I've been told 2.1 is available for my U.S. AT&T xperia x10. I was given a link on the S.E. website by AT&T. As part of that i am trying to download the latest SE Backup and Restore app I go to the link provided by S.E. for the latest Backup & Restore, the file downloads to the phone but when i click on the download to install I get a message that says: "For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in the android market"
Recently i have updated my device software to 2.3 ..then i cant find icon for backup and restore on my home screen for restoring the backup file... how can do i restore the backup file ?
i want to upgrade the memory to 4 gb How to Backup the old memory and restore to new one also i cannot download anything from google plsy erro 495 what does mean
Backup & Restore not installed on the x10 I just bought. (Neither is Moxier).Since Backup & Restore is a d/l from SE, not the market, ATT is barring me from even installing it
