Backup Original Firmware Question (R564_G_12.0146P)

[ao_tenshi]

Hi All,

My E2 is currently in stock firmware, and I was hoping to make a backup of it before putting in the latest firmware.  I have read that there is a GetOS mpkg file, but my current firmware does not allow me to run mpkg files... any ideas? :'(   

So hoping to get some help with backup of current firmware, language  settings etc. Thanks in advance!

i think u cant backup your firmware in stock  firmware. stock firmware doesn't support the mpkg file and doesn't support telnet too. and for now, there are no pc's software that support for backup firmware e2. so u must backup your contact manually with notes maybe..

So if I install the latest firmware and didnt like it, I can no longer return to my current stock firmware? :S

You can backup stock FW with PC Software, but BP part only.

You must have:
1. Motorola Driver installed in your PC
2. P2KTools VS ver. 3.0.8 or later for making backup
3. Flash & Backup ver. 3.0.6 or later for making SHX file (BP part)

1st of all, make sure the phone connection is set to "Modem".

-------------------------------------------------------------

How to make a FULL backup:
1. Run P2KTools VS and set P2K mode to P2K05.
2. Phone in "BP bootloader mode".
3. Connect the phone using the USB cable.
4. Change P2KTools VS to Flash mode --> Flash-Terminal
5. Memory operations: Type "10000000" in the "Start Address" field and "12000000" in the "End address" field.
6. Press "Save memory range" (Wait the process until finish, it will take a few minutes!!)
7. After finished, make sure backup file size must be 33.554.432 bytes, not more, not less!!!

How to make a PARTIAL backup:
1. Steps 1-4 are the same as "How to make a FULL backup".
2. Memory operations:

[BP memory address]
CG:Start address-End address
RDL1 : 03FC8000 - 03FE7FF7
CG0  : 10080000 - 100800C7
CG1  : 100800C8 - 102E44BF
CG2  : 10390000 - 103FFFFF
CG3  : 10040000 - 10066E27
CG7  : 10350000 - 1035FFFF
CG18 : 10330000 - 103307FF

3. Press "Save memory range" (Wait the process until finish, it will take a few minutes!!)

How to restore your backup:
1. Steps 1-4 are the same as "How to make a FULL backup".
2. Memory operations: fill memory address in "Start address" and "End address" field.
3. Press "Send binary file" --> choose your backup file (Wait the process until finish, it will take a few minutes!!)
4. Open the battery and insert it again, then turn ON your phone.

-----------------------------------------------------------

How to make SHX backup file:
1. Run Flash & Backup --> Firmwares --> Select file, choose shx file from any Monster Packs.
2. Select code groups (CG) and press "Replace", choose your backup file.
3. Press "Save as..." (SHX type).
