Hi,
I've tried to restore full backups several times; however, my contacts, calander, tasks, etc. never seem to be transfered. I get a message after the restore saying that those files failed.
I think it's because the folder /Database is readonly. Anyway to fix this?
Try SPB backup.

I'm not sure exactly how or when this happened... but I recently did a hard reset and a restore, I cannot seem to go to my inbox or even send sms from my contacts list.
The icon is still on the start menu but it does nothing.
any ideas?
thanks
Dino
Are you using sprite backup?
Try to upgrade the backup software.
i just use the backup utility of active sync.
i'll look into sprite backup thanks.
i ended up hard resetting and just reinstalling from scratch.
too about an hour and a half to reconficgure and resetup my phone.
You can solve this issue..
Just restore your old backup, install Sprite Backup 3 (make sure its not older than version 3) and backup your device using Sprite Backup.
Now, hard reset your device & install Sprite backup, then restore ONLY the SMS messages.
It shall work like a charm 8)
It happened the same to me but after making a backup. I just lost the access to my inbox and tried to send an SMS in the contact itself but noting. Not even receive them. Anyone can help so i cant have to install averything over again. My backup was just perfect ..but then this happened after restoring
Never use Sprite Backup earlier than version 3
I used the XBackup that comes in windows...
Imagination, what backup software you've used to make the backup ?
This case happens when you restore a backup, so did you make a restore?
Yes it hapened after i made a restore. I used Xbackup (the app thats already intaled in windows). I used it for the backup and for the restore. I made restores before and this doesn't happened. But this time i lost the inbox and sms.
aha, seems your SMS reception is dead now!
It happened to me once, when I did a restore. I was forced to hard reset my device
but before the reset, I backed up the entire device using sprite backup, and then I did a hard reset, installed Sprite Backup 3, then restored ONLY the SMS databases. It worked!
But for you, you are not willing to re-install your applications!
I saw a program that fixes this problem. It clears the SMS databases.
after that, you can restore only the SMS part of the backup.
I guess its named SMS CLEAR...
If I find it, I'll send it to you, dude :wink:
Ok thanks. I will try to find it. Hope it works. I will try sprite backup too. thanks
Your most welcome, dude
here I found it, its name CleanMail !
It fixes all the database corruptions in your SMS & wipe all emails & SMS messages, so be sure you have backup of all these databases.
you can get it from here:

First of all thank ezzkht for ur help. I realy thought tha this app will working after reading the forum. But...did't ddid the tric...after udse the app the in box and sms still does't worked. The only improvment that made was appearing in inbox You have a new SMS message, but no luck trying to open. After that i reeintaled the backup and used the app again but still no luck. I have to make an hard reset in the week end and reeinstall all over again and i will use a third party software for backing up. Thanks for the help
Oh am sorry to hear that
Well, its better to do a hard reset, since it seems that SMS databases are hardly damaged!
I advice you to install Sprite Backup 3.. its the best backup software ever!
I wish it will work out smoothly with you.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerz :lol:
Solution for missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service)
Hello! I managed a solution to recover the the missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service) from a recovery by ActiveSync. The problem is that when we restore there is an active program that uses that service and therefore it cannot be restored. In my last try I unistalled Webis Mail, unchecked everything in "Today" and made a soft reset. Don't run the Outlook in the PC, if you use Jeyo Mobile Extender because this program acesses the SMS folder in the PDA. Do a restore, and when it finishes it'a all OK again. I was already preparing myself to do a Hard Reset to use SMS again! :lol: By the way what's the best ROM for Window 2003SE ? Thanks.
I recently used SPB to do a "full backup" but it only took 5minutes and the resulting backup file was only 41.7MB...my internal memory has 160MB in use so was this a complete backup and does it usually be this quick? The compression level is set to normal.
I previously used Sprite backup but when I recently wanted to restore it and clicked on the self-restoring file it said "The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file"...?
I even tried opening it and my previous 2 backups via opening up sprite -> restore, however it did not find the backup files? Anyone else had this problem.
Lastly, is it best to backup my storage card at the time of the backup? Just that if I ever need to do a hard reset and then restore, won't my system need the files on my storage card to be as they were at the time of my backup? (I have many programs installed on there)
Thanks for your thoughts
Anyone?.....
sprite backup problem
hi what you can try is reinstall the sprite backup program via your pc
and after that try to open the self extracting sprite backup file.
i remember having the same problem and this did the trick for me
gr liang
P.s.
i never backup my storagecard ! with sprite back up on the same storagecard you seldom will lose the data on your storagecard.
you can make a back up on your pc which includes your storagecard but then your backup will be on your pc.
hi can sprite backup work between rom upgrades?
as in , i back up now.
i flash a new rom.
i restore...
will everything be the same as before? including contacts favorite people photos?
will the new rom work properly?? ( as in the old data will it affect the new rom? )
I dont know about flashing a rom but i have tried hard reset then restore from backup using sprite and it restored everything. install sprite back on storage card and also save the executable backup file to storage card. when you do a hard reset just goto file explorer then tap on the backup file. it should restore your phone back to before you performed a hard reset. what version of sprite backup do you have. I have 6.5.4.14
6.2.3 htc edition
I currently use SPB Backup for backing up all my PIM information (contacts & emails)
As I constantly upgrade or fash new roms this is very useful. The size of this file is usually around 2.5MB
I have also done full backups which are generally around 20MB for me.
However I never use full restore after I have upgraded or changed rom. I only use full restore if I have done a hard reset or reverted back to original rom I backed up.
The reason for this is that if you do a full restore, you are restoring registry entries from your previous rom which may conflict with your new rom.
For this reason, I don't personally take the chance and only use custom restore i.e. PIM info
I was using version 6.5.4.8 also tried 6.5.4.14 - same result.
I've changed to SPB backup now and that seems to backup ok...the proof in the pudding will be once I need to restore!
6.5.4.14 works fine for me. my backup file is around 32mb though
I always backup before installing anything just incase
Hello all I have a HTC Touch HD. A few weeks ago the "Messenging" application became unresponsive. I tried the googled solution of deleting the inbox.something folder but I still could not access "Messenging".
So I decided to do a hard reset and restore my contents with Sprite Backup.
My Sprite Backup is 6.2.3 build 2319. My OS is Windows Mobile 6.1.
So the restore went well - everything seems to be back, right down to the call log and even the custom words in the auto-complete function.
But my SMSes all gone. As were my email settings. This is very strange to me because I used to be able to restore everything including the SMSes when I used Sprite Backup on my old Dopod 838Pro. I have tried two backup files but still the same problem. I had specified the backup file to backup everything, which is the default anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have now had the whole summer my sms-database messed up. I can read my messages only in threaded view, but I can't i any way back them up with pim-backup or smsImport. PimBackup sees only 149 messages in the inbox, and 73 in the outbox. PimBackup complains that
the messages file in \Application Data\Volatie\msg_20100902.csm can't be added to the backup file, an internal error (2) occured.

SmsImport exports only messages after 23.6.2010. I have about 1000 sms-messages in my device, and i can read all of them from the phone, but i would like to get them backed up before doing a clean install of the x2 (it's getting slow as all windowses do!!)
Does anyone know how to access these files, and how i could be able to read them/Extract the messages from them..?
Try another backup programs like SPB Backup or Sprite Backup.

Hi, backing up the files seem to work, it's just that they seem to be corrupted in some way.. I would like to get out all my sms:s, and reset the phone.
SPB Backup has a tool for PC to open archives. You can extract needed items. Or if there are errors while backing up, then it seems your databases are corrupted. Try to use MyPhone service - it backups your PIM to online storage. So later after reset you may restore your SMS.
smscontrolcenter
I use SMS Control Center and is very happy with it!

Sorry, if this seems like a newbie question. Maybe it is, though I don't feel like a newbie.
How do you restore apps+data between flashes? I have tried titanium backup, creating update.zip or just batch restoring, I tried myBackup and Superbackup. But I can't find a backup that will consistently restore apps and data for a painless flashing experience. I always have to re-enter account data for dropbox, evernote, whatsapp, etc. etc. etc.
What do you do?
Buy Titanium Backup

I did, I have.
But it doesn't help. For many apps, configuration is lost on restore. Or am I doing something wrong?
I put dropbox & evernote on a zip, flashed them, but configuration was lost. I restored them within Titanium,
and it was still lost.
Make sure you tick app + data when you restore apps.
personally i have used only few apps like whatsapp , here maps and google keep
and all my data was restored.
You do have type your google accounts information by yourself.
