restoring backup file CompactFlashBackupPim

i got a new iMate sp5m but the problem is tht i sold off my iMate jam with which i had taken my contacts backup through x backup and now since the sp5m doesnt have a restore option nor does it have x backup how do i open the file compactflashbackuppim since it doesnt have any extension and how do i open it/import its contents in outlook or is there any other procedure ?

could anyone help me with a solution or a link regarding this..??

Hello,
The only way i could think of is, take your friend' device that has xBackup and restore yours. Syncronize to outlook on pc and export it out!
If you have no personal contacts or dont mind me checking them, mail your backup file to me and i will try to do it for ya when free..
Regards
Carty..

Well thanks for the help offered..but i got it sorted out by taking a friends 02 mini and getting it to sync my file with outlook and then got the data on my new phone..

sms accounts problem

hello everyone,
i hope you can help me. when i my xdaII hard reset, i used sprite backup to restore my xda to its last condition.. the problem is i when i view the outbox, drafts, and trash folders, it showed nothing just some "0k" at the right of the screen. but when you look at the folders, at the bottom it would say "0 Items, XX unread."
how can i resolve this??
p.s.
tried posting screen shots..not sure how.

hi,
Did you do a ROM upgrade? Were all databases backed up? Alot more info would be required to find out what went wrong. I suggest you log a question with Sprite tech support here
https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/home.aspx
they have a good turn around

You had the sprite backup mess up your inbox. have to erase your mail and start it anew. it's all on sprite backup page..
use the latest version of the program

thanx freemans,
did not do a rom update, my xda hard reboot by itself... all database were backed up with no errors.. will log on to sprite thank you.
thanx perchhog..
my inbox and sent messages are all good, the problem is with my drafts, outbox and trash folders...will try that after..

How To Recover?

ALL MY CONTACT (outlook) is lost did a system restore and no luck where did they all go? anyone had this problem?
PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME if there is anyway to recover these data from my mobile !!!! Any place where these deleted items could be retrieved from ?Any recovery tool that i could use ???
PS: I have not performed any soft or hard reset of my mobile yet...
Thanks in advance for your help...

You could use a data recovering program? Or do you want to get them off your mobile, are they already on your mobile?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
Either - You did a system restore on your pc and lost your outlook contacts, in which case you should sync your mobile with the pc to get them back.
Or - You did some sort of restore on your mobile and lost your contacts from there, in which case you should sync your mobile with your pc to get them back.

I will love to get them off my mobile or my pc I sync it and all way GONE.
I updated my contact list then i sync it and "WHAM" all gone..
what software do i need to get back ALL my contacts
thanks for your help..
I hope i posted this in the right section. if not im sorry to all...

ActiveSinc

I've attached a version of the software which works fine on my TP2. So long as you have the original back-up file you should be okay. If it doesn't work with this version it is probably the back-up file which is corrupt and causing the program to fail.
As an alternative did you sync your device with your pc/laptop before you hard re-set? If so another sync should re-establish your contacts from Outlook. (Although you might want to back Outlook up first in case the sync wipes those out in error too!).
Hope this works.

thanx dude !!
i think that the back-up file is corrupted !!
i have extracted it and my contacts is still alive !!
thanx man
