Reverting back to NoDo? - Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development

Hi all!!
Basically, i got my GF a Omnia 7, as she liked the look of WM7 on my mozart, and im not up to scratch at all with hot things are done with the Omnia 7, basically.
The thing broke.... when she phones people she cant her them and they cant hear her.
i thought sticking mango on it would give it a nice fresh start and maybe fix the problem, but i shouldn't have haha as it didn't, and now i have to revert it back to get it replaced from where i got it from! lol
So, could anyone tell me if its possible to revert back to Nodo somehow, and how to do so?
Cheers
Keith
:edit:
Also, i know when updating i should have backed up the backup file... but i didnt... does this get removed once i have updated? or is it still there for me to "restore" from?

ok, so did a little bit of looking and found this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973420
Only problem its a UK Orange phone, is there any Roms of theirs available to flash?
Cheers
Keith

If you used the Mango4all tool then it should have created a backup during the install process. Check on your computer for c:\premangostate.
If you have this folder then theres a good chance you have a backup. Just check the folder size - it should be usually around 4GB but can be bigger.
If you have this then you should be able to restore it. The Mango4all tool has a restore.bat, just run that and away you go.
If you got Mango some other way then im not sure :/

So, we have two reasons we haven't gotten this out yet:
1) We're pretty burned out at the moment,
2) And three of us now have full semesters of classes to deal with too. We've been focusing on other things.
I hope to get this out this weekend at the latest. But don't quote me on that. Even though it's printed in text right here.
I will update this thread when I have more information.
See you soon.

Anyway, Take care.
And thanks for the info from Rpearl

thanks for the information its very appreciated
Why cant they just release it now
Thanx for the info!!

Because it involves work compiling, packaging and testing it so that it "just works". Behind the words "just works" lies a complex set of processes. Just hold tight, people have lives outside this place
They should take the time, better a good running root, as a ok running root with 1000 of questions afterwards.
Take you time, university is more important, and when its done, its done. I also appreciate your work and hope for a release soon.
Hurry up please
Hurry up please guys! You can not count how many folks are refreshing unrEVOked page again and again to see the new face on it!

Backup everything
Hi
I assume the unrEVOked will install a new ROM on the phone, clearing all the data stored on it. So we have to make backup from the phone before rooting it (Is it true?)
So I tried to make the full backup. The best solutions available were the:
1. The Titanium Backup. It needs the BusyBox to be installed. I tried to install BusyBox on my wildfire which was already soft-rooted using MartinEve great work, but it made errors creating a folder under /system/xbin and failed. So Titanium Backup is not a solution now (Again, Is it true?)
2. The Nandroid Backup which is also a perfect tool, but I think it will not work again with the soft-root and needs the unrEVOked root ROM to be installed. (Is it true?)
Finally I have no idea to backup all the phone except simple tools like ASTRO file manager which makes a backup of all applications, etc.
Is there any better idea?
All the best
No idea what the best backup way is.
But unrevoked will not release a ROM.. they are just releasing a.. ehm dont know how to put it... a something that makes it possible to flash other ROMs to your phone

Hi,
No, the unrEVOked root will simply flash a custom recovery to your phone -- the main partition remains in-tact. That said, you might still want to do a backup using a 3rd party market app if you feel paranoid.
Thanks Martin.
By the way, end of week is so close, and still there are only 5 faces on the site. We are really waiting
done expect to much set ur hope a month forward and be happily suprised when its out erlier.

Hello all.
Was just wondering I couldn't find anything specific to this but I have a tmo hd7 in a drawer that I was thinking of pulling out for a little and trying out the 7.8 leak thats out.
If I want to go back to 7.5 is there instructions or a way to downgrade from 7.8 to 7.5 for the TMO HD7
Anyone?
So there is no way to do this?

You just need to restore it back to the previous update point and it works.
Downgraded my HTC HD7 (TMOUS) after upgrading it to 7.8 using the seveneighter method
Huh I can't seem to find a sticky for it or anything.
Do you have a link to it or where I might find a tutorial for the process.

Is there are steps by chance I can find for the backup and restore process.
The zune program is confusing and I can't find the settings there.
My install of zune is fresh so it don' seem to have any backups that I can use.
Is there a way for me to force it maybe.
Seems like this is easier on android
Thank you for the help though.

When ever you would have upgraded through Zune there is a backup of the last configuration saved in your PC under AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Phone Update.
If you have not taken any fresh bacups of your phone the last backup should be present under this folder. If this was done using some other PC just take the Folder from there create a path as mentioned above in your PC. Put the folder there and run zune. It will automatically detect and ask you if you need to restor back to that point. Just select it and zune would do the rest

[Q]Any Tutorials for Locking, Unrooting?

I need to put the phone back to "normal" for a warranty replacement. Any tutorials I can follow?
Thanks
I already have a nandroid backup of my old carrier ROM. I want to basically flash and with a stock recovery as well.
