Probably one of the most worthless programs I have ever downloaded.
I did a full back up in DM, and then tried to connect to BBSAK. Had to reboot the pc but it finally connected.
I made a full backup using BBSAK, for all of my third party apps. I finally got the thing to wipe the phone completely to the 507 screen, and then reloaded my OS. Well, now I cannot get my third party apps back on the phone.
It no longer recognizes my phone. I rebooted the phone, the computer, and then the phone while it was plugged into the computer. Nothing. I right clicked on the icon to run as an administrator, and nothing.
BBSAK 1.9.1.1 and Windows Vista.
I will never use this product again. And to think that I was ready to donate for the better version. Not a chance in **** now.
I've been using BBSAK for over a year now to do maintenance, updates, 3rd party backups, etc. I have never had a single issue with it not working correctly.
I feel that the issue you are having is more to do with either a faulty USB cable, or corrupted USB drivers in Vista.
Try a different cable, and if that doesn't help than go to your computers device manager and try to expand your device manager by connection, and delete all references to USB, with the exception of the one your keyboard is attached to. Than refresh device list, and it will reinstall your usb controllers. Give BBSAK a try after doing that. If you've got a ps/2 keyboard, than kill ALL usb references. Windows has native drivers for usb, although some intel chipsets have enhanced drivers available.
It is more likely a driver error like the above poster said. I had driver issues in the past as well with BBSAK earlier versions but never had any issues with the program doing what it should. Give it another try it is a very good program.
I wanted to completely uninstall my OS, and load it properly. I think that on my last few loads, it isn't working correctly. Wanted to go fresh. Might have to check out JL_Cmdr next time.
BBSAK has its issues, but then, you do get what you pay for. I've found it useful many times and have learned to not use the Restore portion, but instead re-install the individual cods. Vista, on the other hand, should never have been released. It belongs in the Hall of Shame along with Windows ME.

I forgot to mention that part. When restoring select install CODS and the latest version has the ability to select and install multiple CODS at once. Thanks for providing that good piece of info.
Then I guess there is no point in keeping this thread. The admins can delete this thread.

Thanks Reed. That was my intention. Just wanted to possibly save someone the hour and a half it took me to download and configure all of my third party apps, which I am still not done with.
Fluid, look in the BBSAK folder in program files. Your cods should be in there, even if bbsak won't put them back for you.
I personally always use DM to backup my apps, but BBSAK is an invaluable tool for me.

I did. I see a .jad and a .cod in the backup, that is it. I have a feeling that they didn't back up correctly, since I had so many connection issues with it. I have now downloaded all of my apps and set them up, so I am set with it.
Just do half a device switch via DM. CX wrote the procedure. It is over in the How To section... Personally I don''t do any of this anymore. After an OS change I do a security wipe and then rebuild from there. If you take the time once to build a file of keys to copy paste from and then another with links to apps not in your account on CB or AW, it only takes a few minutes to be rebuilt from scratch...
