Hi there,
Been reading these forums for a while and have found answers to most of my questions !
I have one regarding backing up the phone tho. I use Tomtom + a Fortuna BT GPS with the XDA and it all works very well, however yesterday i had to hard reset as the phone had totally locked . Now here is my little prob, as i will be using th GPS as part of my job if i had to hard reset while out in the car i would have no GPS :shock: If im home no issue as i can reinstall etc, i was wondering if there is a way to backup the main storage onto a SD card so if it happened i could restore it back to having tomtom on etc ? I have seen Xbackup on the phone and it appears to do it but im not sure !
Any help/advice would be great !
Sprite Backup can save the backup onto your SD card as an executable, so you can restore your system from the SD even if you had to hard reset it.[/url]

Hi Guys,
The strangest thing just happened. I'm on panic right now.
I left the phone unattended for a couple of hours today and when I came back I notice that the start menu was EMPTY, and when I say empty I mean completely empty.
So I soft-reset the device and is still the same. So I plug the phone with the PC and browse the device over ActiveSync and
ALL THE FILES ARE GONE FROM THE MEMORY, STORAGE AND SD CARD.
All the folders are still there, but they are empty. Only the files are gone!
I had a back-up of everything but the STORAGE (big-storage mod). Does anyone any idea on how to recover the files? Is this possible?
I tried to search on the forums, and I couldn't find anything on this.
I don't know if this might be related but a week ago I upgraded the ROM and used the BIG Storage mod.
My phone details are
Qtek S100
ROM: 1.13.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
I'm guessing this means you don't use a backup program? It sounds like you'll have to hard reset the phone to recover to a basic startup condition. As for the card you can probably recover all that is on it using an inexpensive recovery program such as Photo Rescue(yes it recovers more than just photos). I've used Photo Rescue to recover a couple of different cards to my computer and then retransfer the information to my phone. Try the trial version at http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/download.htm There are other programs that will recover your card, just Google file recovery and try a couple.
If you are using a backup program on your card, hard reset the phone and use a file explorer to start your backup program. I sometimes have to run my backup twice to get everything back as it should be.

Was there some kind of not properly licensed software installed?

I was using Sprite Backup, but turned out that by default it won't backup the contents of the Storage folder. I changed the settings and from now and go on it will do ;-)

I already recovered all my data from the SD card using OnTrack Easy Recovery Pro. Great and powerful soft.

To tell the truth the last soft I used was a new Sudoku game that I was "trying out" before purchasing. So this might have been the "killer"
Anyway, I had an old backup on some CD, so after a Hard Reset and some work, everything is back to normal now, or I hope so.
Thanks for the replies.
lol
i can tell you for sure it was that sudoku game you installed.. it waits till you play.. when you cleared one puzzle it crashes and deletes everything exept the folders.. even on your sd card..
That is the risk of downloading illegal stuff..

Funny, how can the data in storage(which is NAND ROM) gets erased by itself. I m hearing this for the first time in my life
It seemed some evil (not properly registered) software deleted all the files as "punishment". He was able to recover files with an undelete tool.
So you still have to wait for NAND ROM forget its data for the first time
Hello,
Sorry of this question was already asked, but I did not find a post on this subject.
I have an rw6828 equipped with Windows Mobile 5. I would like to backup my data on one side, my systems on another side, and both data and systems in a single backup.
Is this something feasible plse ?
Thanks a lot for yur help.
Cheers,
SPBbackup
Or Sprite Backup :twisted:
They all begin with an S :lol:
Thanks for this answer. So it means that there is no 'native ' tool that HP would have provided with the rw6828... I remember having one with my previous Asus A620BT.
Bye.
yes, it is.
Hard reset
OK. I installed SPB Backup and it works fine. It is installed on the storage card. It generated a ".exe" file stored on the storage card. I had the opportunity to perform a restore yesterday and it's OK. However, In have a question. Has anyone tested what happened when a hard reset is done ? Could I still execute the ".exe" file, knowing the soft itself is installed on the storage card ? Or do I need to install SPB Backup because some files would need to be updated on the pocket pc ?
Thx for your answer.
Cheers

You can execute the *.exe(archive of backup data) stored on the storage card. Also you can execute *.exe(of SPBBackUp) w/o installation it after H/R.
Merci ;-)
Thanks.
I just bought a Orange M3000,it's my first phone with WM5.
Today I installed on my miniSD 3 or 4 programs (Resco KeyBord pro 4.20,a dictionary "Universal Translator",WIFI Companion and Resco Picture Viewer)
I restarted the phone and I observed that the GSM network is not recognized....and after that I observed I am not able to open Programs from menu, internet explorer....File explorer....TheactivSync is not working …..
I can open settings....Resco file Browser..Resco RegEdit...and a little program that transforms my Wizard into a memory stick….so I can copy files into my miniSD
I think that are problems with the new "keyboard" installed(the one from Resco)...I am not sure
I have uninstalled all programs that I have insaled today, I have deleted their files manually have installed PocketMeChanic...and I tried every thing I know to repair my Wizard.....I have reinstalled the resco keyboard from .cab files from mobile phone…
What should I do?
Should I format My memory ?Do I lose The installed programs form mini-sd ?
How do I reinstall the original keyboard ?
Please help me…….
It could be the keyboard or wm5torage can also give this problem. Simplest way is for you to do a hard reset and then see what is what before formatting your card. Most programs work staight from the card and do not need to be reinstalled - just create shortcuts. Backup important files before hard reset - pim info is in pim.vol in root of device - make a copy of that so making restore easier.
If I restart my wizard and I work without the miniSD it has the same problem....so if I format my minisd I don not think that I will have to many chances to repair my Wizard....

You are right so you need to do a hard reset of your device.

My Xpa mini came with the tom tom 5 installed on the device, attachly on the memory card but it has links thought to the program files and today screen.
It didnt come with a back up or instillation disk, i really want to hard reset my xda. I understand i just remove the memory card to protect the programs on there but aftter the reset is there anyway of making my tom tom work again? with the disk? cheers!
Well, if I understood correctly you can look into a backup program such as Sprite Backup
or SPB backup works great
I started this new thread as the previous one on the same topic did not give any satifactory answers to this problem
I also the Windows mobile 6 upgrade to my HTC 8525. I did a restore of my previous data with sprite software. All went very well until I tried to use the camera.
I got "Unable to start camera. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
I have plenty of space in storage. The camera just refuses to work.
Searching the forums, I have only found one thread who has gotten this error message. I followed all the possible permotations to fix this. I tried to do a hard and soft reset and cleared my memory (both storage and program). Uninstalled several programs. I have a 2GB micro SD card with over 500MB of free storage on the phone. The camera still refuses to work.
What should I do next?
try removing the sd card then soft reset the device and when it has completed restarting windows insert the sd card and it should ask if you want to store images on there instead of main storage.
same deal
I did try that. It did not prompt me for anything after I reinserted my SD card. Any other suggestions.
Thanks

ive had this same problem for a while now and have resorted to using coolcamera.. my guess is that it has something to do with the backup. the problem on my end dosent come up until i restore a backup from spbbackup... so note what programs you have, hard reset, and start fresh...
the camera will be working.
This is because not enough ram is available, simply close any apps running in the backround and try again.hopefully u can end programs with X-Button. some of the "cooked" roms have way too many services running at boot and it almost impossible to make enough ram available.
fixed problem
Ifigured out this was a problem with the sprite backup software. For some reason when you back up some older programs with sprite and then do a system restore after having changed from WM5 to WM6, you loose the camera function. I fixed the problem by reseting my device to original manufacturers settings and then reinstalling the programs one by one without using sprite backup software. It was very time consuming ad I had to retrieve my saved data files and contacts before resetting the device. But my camera works fine now!
it happened to me some days ago aftyer restoring backup
a clean solution:
look for the camera oem package of pandora, look for the recistry settings in the .rgu file, translate it to a regedit4 compatible .reg file, execute it, and problem solved. it is a problem registry related. hope this helps
