If you were using
HTC Backup on your previous HTC phone, you need to download and use the HTC Restore app on HTC Bolt to restore your backup.
Important: Depending on the amount of content, restoring a backup to
HTC Bolt through your data connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a
Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

Free apps from
Google Play will be restored in the background, and you can track the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from
Google Play.
Your apps will appear on the
Apps screen as they are installed. The
Apps and Home screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps have been installed. You can continue using
HTC Bolt while apps are being restored.
