Keep /system unchanged!

If I remember correctly some restore sets will do DD on /data partition - which means that after restoring you will have to recreate file system (or do proper factory reset), otherwise you would not be able to use all of your data partition. Packages rupor-rescue, rupor-minimal, rupor-enable-adb, rupor-asec, rupor-jailbreak should all work fine - as long as you did not change /system size. You would not be able to apply Sony firmware packages (if any) and you would not be able to do any of my automated procedures which involve repartitioning...

I did repartitioned multiple units using my rescue package to map whole mmcblk2 under Windows. I successfully used various tools (whatever was available at the moment) - you could find links to translation of my original guide in this forum. I do not do it anymore - automated procedure is way easier...
