Backup/Restore - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I got the new version of sprite that fixes the SMS problem for restoring. I have restored my image and now my activesync mail is broke. No problem cause it will redownload the mail, I just have to resetup the parameters right??? WRONG.....When I try to reselect the inbox to sync, I get an error that it couldn't delete the old mail so it won't proceed. Does anyone know where those mail files are stored for activesync mail so that I can manually try to delete them?

Confirming that you had mail in your Pocket ActiveSync Inbox prior
to doing the backup? If so delete it now then do another backup and restore, that should fix it!

Do u still get this problems with the current 3.0 version of the back-up software?

Inbox mail corrupted

I restored my SMS messages and it corrupted or seems to have corrupted my other Activesync and Imap service mail. How can I delete these services mail without have to hard reset the unit? tia
Yea this happens if you upgrade your ROM and then try to use software like PocketUpdate to restore Inbox, Settings.. etc.
Im afraid all I have been able to do is hard reset, but just thinking about it, what if you restore everything, then backup again, hard reset then restore yet again?
If each ROM upgrade uses slightly different settings for the inbox then when you restore from a previous (or later) version the settings conflict. This might be overcome if you restore/backup/hardrest/restore it might just work.
Im aware that its just a theory im playing with right now but it cant hurt to try if all else fails!! As the wife says, "you never know until you try" :lol:
Hope this helps slightly

Sprite Software have a tool on their website called "CleanMail" that will totally wipe any existing email structures and after soft-reset they will be rebuilt. That should sort you out.

Does anybody have any ideias how to get my contacts back ?

Do you have SPB Diary ?
I've installed SPB Diary and my contacts appear there.
Still working on it

Problem Solved: (if you have contacts in outlook)
Re-install Outlook from Vista, sync, voilá.

Can I back up phone SMS's to my PC?

Whn I use Activsync I can back up Outlook calendar, contacts etc.
But, can I back up my text msgs in my inbox on the phone?
If so, how do I do that?
many thanks
nicojo
i did not try that yet. . .
but you can use Jeyo Mobile Companion. .
its not free but i thinks its worth the fee , PIM Backup also backup SMS via ppc itself.
awesome and free software would be PIM,
you can store the file(s) on your device and copy it to your pc afterwards!
Thx open_source
Do u have a link to a specific app?
I tried AllExport v3.1 which says:
"With this program, you can backup, restore and export all your messages (SMS, MMS, E-mail, etc.) which are stored in Messaging application."
I installed it but couldn't see how to back up SMS, only contacts list
Anyone tried this program?
thx

Duplicate Email mailbox

After i load one of the ROM and restore my backup, the hotmail & yahoo mailbox could not work. So I create a new account for both and now i have duplicate mailbox on the TF3d .. any idea how to resolve this problem ?
any one ??
Which rom did you flash? I've heard that a back up from one rom and restored on the next can create issues. Were your yahoo and hotmail accounts visible in the messaging app (programs->messaging) after the restore and before you re-created the new accounts?

Yes, it would help to know not only what rom you are using, but also what application you used to backup and restore your information. Do tell...

When switching roms you always want to restore with merge level 1. I am 90% sure if you do a hard reset and restore with that merge level you will not have this issue.

Transfer SMS from HD2 to PC

Hey there,
My SMS program is lagging a lot due to having too many messages, is there anyway i can transfer them to my pc?
Ive tried searching but i cant seem to find what im looking for!
Thanks!!
Take a look at Jeyo Mobile Extender. Integrates perfectly with Outlook 2007. When registering your name, make sure its the same as the 'ME' in the HD2 contacts list.
or use microsoft myphone and archive the messages. They will be removed from your phone on next sync, but will be kept online. not sure if you can UNARCHIVE messages though if you want them back on the phone .....
If you just want to STORE them on the pc and not READ them there, then use PIM Manager to do a complete backup on your storage card. Remove the backup from the card, and move it to your PC. Then delete all your SMSes from your phone.... If you want to reinstall ALL SMSes at a future date, do a backup, put the old, stored backup back on your storage card, restore the OLD backup, then restore the NEW backup, making sure that on the second restore you untick the boxes telling it to delete messages
EDIT:
Just checked MyPhone FAQs, and yes, the archived material CAN be restored to the phone.
gonna try it now!
thanks for the response!!
