There is a way to take back Guitar Rock Tour from the phone and save it on your PC.
Connect the phone with the USB Cable and choose "mass storage"
With the file explorer open the drive E:\ of your mobile (the letter could be another but it will be easy identify it), go to the folder private. use the search tool for find all files *.ja*, 2 of it will be the Guitar Rock Tour .jad and .jar. Now you can copy them on your PC and after install it on your phone!

That works as a preventative measure, but it doesn't help those who come to the forum having already lost the game without having made such a backup...

@mccleue,
the procedure that I wrote above it is exactly what I made after an hard reset (*#7370#) and not before. The hard reset does not erase E:.

Many Thanks for instructions and info which in my experience is entirely correct and doesn't just work as a preventative measure...
Thanks again for your post...!
Just for info, I firmware upgrade v10 to v11 & didn;t loose 'Guitar Rock', the program did disappear after a rest (*#7370#) but successfully recovered with your info...

I did a hard format for my N97 by pressing "Shift + Space + Backspace"delete" buttons while turning on the phone. Although Guitar Rock was on "e:" before formatting, I totally lost it on the mobile. I did as mentioned here using Y-browser to search for "*.ja" files on all the drives but I couldn't find it whatsoever!!!
I totally agree that firmware update & soft, or hard formating do not affect "e:" data but to me this is what happened!!!
Very strange...
So I guess radical24 & mmcbleue are right....

navio1973, thanks for the great tip!
Some of you are confused, the apps are in mass memory and unless you reformat mass memory they won't go away. If you hard reset the phone using either (*#7370#) or "Shift + Space + Backspace", they games will dissappear because the installation settings are erased, but the actual files remain in the mass memory.
They are java games (.jar .jad) and are stored inside the "private" folder. As navio1973 explained, the ONLY way to get a copy of those files is connecting with the USB cable and choosing "Mass Storage". Using the PC explorer, look for the folder named "private" and perform a search for *.jar files. You will find not only Guitar Rock Tour, Brain Challenge and Spore but any other java program you have installed.
Just make a copy of all those jar/jad files somewhere safe and reinstall as with any other java program.
Hope this helps!
