It will restore the data (eg added applications, messages etc) but you'll still have the newer firmware that SEUS updated you with.
There have been compatibilty issues before with restoring data from one version of Windows Mobile to another - for instance when people updated from 6.0 to 6.1 - as the newer version might store some data in different places - but I doubt a minor manufacturer's update like this would cause any such issues. The worst case scenario is simply that restoring the old backup doesn't work, and you're still left with a wiped-clean device.

It's very poor that SE didn't bundle a little app to do this - or even build something into SEUS to handle it. Most WM phones, certainly HTC ones, come with a free backup utility.
Really, it's a big weakness in the WM platform that you have to have any of this fuss - certain other fruit-based smartphone manufacturers have proved that firmware updates don't have to upset user data at all.. even though they also include an automated backup in their PC software.

I have also upgraded from R1A to R2A UK Generic, did not see any much difference too. The annoying part is that I could not install those application ported from HTC HD such as Album, Volume, Keyboards etc., which I was able to installed and used in R1A. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. |

For me the new firmware is better. The phone is faster an more stable. Previous firmware (the first one) was ok but I had some small issues with phone.Now it works like a charm, verz fast and smooth. Today I took a few outdoor pictures. I am very pleased with quality. |

How do you know the difference isn't because you hard-reset and re-installed your apps? How definite is the difference? |
