Probs Restoring Backup

Hi all,
got a QTEK S110, which is great. Recently done a backup, but when I then tried after a hard reset to restore, it could not, as it said it was for a different device!?!?!
Now I know this is not the case, so does anyone have any ideas what I can do.
I have also done a bit of messing about, and done different backups of my newly reset pda. This time it allows me to restore, but then stops and says some files could not be copied, because they could be in use, and to make sure all programs are shut. The only one open is Activesync, which I then shut And it says that it is all finished, but all my contacts along with other stuff has not been restored.
Activesync seems to be a bit lame. Is there another program I can use to restore the activesync backups?

Hi Nick !
Had the same problem restoring with activesync. The backup i made was with country setting to "German - Austria" but the default after hard resetting the qtek is different so activesync quits restoring.
Solution:
After resetting your qtek set the country setting (Start/Settings/System/Country Settings) to the country you had set while you made the backup. The try the restore with activesync.
Good Luck,
Gerhard

Contacts & Calendar are somewhat problematic with backups. Next time use Sprite or another third-party product for backup/restore.
Now to solve the open programs try to boot in safemode. There are several programs to achieve this. I believe sbp pocket plus is one of them. Also you can try to empty the windows\startup folder. Just move the shortcuts somewhere else, especially poutlook.lnk is a suspicious one. I must say I never tried this myself when I had simular probs, at that time I didn't knew to much of the PPC.
Last resort try to synchronize with your desktop, this should give you the contacts & calendar data, which I think is most important at the moment. The other data will come from your AS backup.

What to do now?

I'll try to be as brief and complete as possible.
I was using ROM Mr. Clean had backuped with both SBP and SKtools to SD card. I then installed registry wizard. Ran it and decided against it. Deleted it and ran the SBP back up. Then my "phone" did not work (no signal no carrier) the PDA part was fine. So in despiration I reinstalled Mr. Clean. The phone now worked but certain things like Calendar and contacts did not work. So I turned it off and then on and now the "phone" was gone again. Next I installed the ROM Update Utility 2.5.2 with the same results as before. What do I need to do? This is on a Tmobile MDA unlocked and using suncom provider. Thanks in advance to those who reply with any helpful suggestion. This site has been a wealth of information and help with getting the most out my wizard.

To fix the calendar/ contacts issue (their not starting is pretty common, particularly when you restore a non-AKU3 Sprite Backup file on AKU3 or vice versa), try deleting its contents from SKTools to see if it helps.

Okay
1) How do I delete those two things and
2) Will that fix my problem with the "phone" not working after a soft reset. I can't istall any new programs if every time I have to hard reset in order to get it to work.

What is the best way to backup my Wizard

Dear wizard owners,
recently I had to fully reinstall my wizard since I was having trouble with the windows mobile 6 'no alarm notification' bug and couldn't solve it despite of the many solution that also can be found on this forum. Nevertheless, it was quite a job to costumize my Wizard to the state as it used to be. Therefore this question, is it possible to make some kind of image of the state of my MDA including all programs and settings and such? Thanks in advance.
Bart

I use SPB Backup which works really well and does restore my Wizard back to its state with all my programs installed.
Its quite easy to use to; just open an exe file and let the program do the rest to restore.
keep in mind, however, that you cannot use this program (nor any other one that I have heard of), to restore after a ROM upgrade. This program will only work if you are restoring on the same ROM you backed up on.

Thanks Zakhir for your quick reply. I will certainly try it.

Is there a way to backup the Calendar entries???
There's an SMS backup, but is there a Calendar backup???

'Start Menu > Settings' Folder EMPTY???

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help on this one - I've been googling for the last 3 hrs and not been able to really find any solution.
I seem to have lost my 'Settings' folder
When I click on 'Start > Settings', my system just hangs.
If I Hard reset it's there again, but when I clone back to current - gone
I REALLY don't want to have to go through the whole installing process again, I've just spent the last month Installing, Resetting, Installing, add infinitum; now, when I seem to have found and tested all the apps that I want. installed them, registered them, etc., the LAST thing I need now is to have to start from scratch!!!
So, PLEASE - give me a clue how to add this back and remove the one and only issue I have with this build!! P L E A S E ! ! !

ADDENDUM:
*******************
Have also found that the three settings tabs are also no longer recogniseable in other programs - I have SPB Shell 2.0 installed, and it usually shows all the options from the Settings folder in it's Settings tab - not any more!!
Also Pocket Mechanic comes up with the 'Cannot load file 'unload'...' message if you try to uninstall anything! - from surfing it seems that these are related!
It looks as if I WILL have to reinstall everything - going to have to do it the REALLY slow way and clone after EVERY install on the system "sigh!".
I'll give it 48 hrs of hoping that some really narly uber geek out there can come to my rescue, else I'll have to geek it myself!
CALLING ALL UBER GEEKS - help this poor lame nerdoid out!!

as i understand you have made backup of a broken WM and when you restore it it restores the broken parts too, the easyer solution for you is to use PIMBackup for all your mail, contacts SMS MMS etc. , Hard reset, install all of the software you use then restore the backup from there and after your device is properly configured then back it up with a backup software (some backup software do not work well in wm 6 use only compatible versions, also you can not restore WM2003,WM5 or difrend build backup to WM6 rom this action may cause unpredictable bugs)

Yah, looks like it's the only option!
I think that this is going to be the only option xplode, thanks for the second opinion!
I was hoping to find another solution, but it seems this will be the only one - oh well!

B.T.W. xplode, I now have 2 BA's to play with, so if you need a tester for any ROMs or anything, let me know! After all, once I get this thing sorted, I'll have a backup and can flash and reclone in minutes! This goes for Helmi and the other gods of the ROMs, too.

captures Picture, look at

[Q] Blue screen, HTC sence crashed.

Good evening.
My HTC crashed. this is the six time now..
So let me tell you what's the problem, hopefully you guy's can help me.
This happend last time:
I was typing an sms and after a while i tilt my mobile to landscape mode.
After doing this my mobile wouldn't return in normal screen mode.
so i soft rest my mobile.. not so smart move.
the text sounds: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
If i tap this it says: "HTC sence loading" but it will return to: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
I cant go into my startscreen so doing anything isn't an option.
Well i soft reset like 5 times and 3 times i yank the battery out while booting but it will ceep telling me the same thing...
My phone: HTC touch HD.
The rom i use: kwbr topix version 3.6
mmm i can't put an link in this post so the thread is: showthread.php?t=460640
So if anyone has an idea for me. that would be great!
I haven't done a hardrest before and I instald my ROM 5 times before now..
Thanks anyway.
Leek.

if just sense isn't working there's no problem, just backup your pim data and any other important files (pictures...) and hard reset the phone.

So if I take all my files from my SD-card and copy them to my PC (or take my SD-card out of my phone) and preform a hard-reset, then is there a chance that my phone will be alive again?
And a question:
A hard rest can be done by: pressing both volume button's and the powerbutton?
Thank you very much!

a hard reset does not affect the contents of the sd card, but the entire internal storage, meaning the space, where "\My Documents" and other folders are located, including all your contacts, messages...
you should sync your pim data (contacts, tasks, appointments...) either with outlook (that does not save your sms!) or with MS myphone (saves all) or pimbackup (saves all) and save your ringtones and possible photos stored internally, you can backup those files either with ms myphone as well or just copy and paste them to the storage card.
also, remember, a hard reset will delete all the programs installed and their respective settings, so keep your needed cab files present.
setting up the device after the hard reset will take some time, keep that in mind, but if you actually never performed one before, you will realise a huge improvement in speed.

Ok thank you very much.
I will preform a hard reset tonight so I can use it soon again ^^.
The data standing on my internal storage isn't usefull anymore. It's already on my pc so when I get home, I'll hard reset it right away!
Speed improvement is alway's welcome!
I'll let you know if my phone works again.
Thanks.

Wauw it worked perfectly!
The hard rest of my phone took only a minut, so that was far much better then installing the ROM over and over again!
Thanks for your advice.

yes, reflashing the rom does not really change anything, as long as you don't hard reset after flashing. to keep ypur phone clean and fast and not pollute it with old trash, always perform a hard reset after flashing. it is highly recommended when changing roms, and when staying on the same one, a hard reset can solve nearly any software related issues that appear over time

New problem...
My phone is acting weird again..
The problem is the startup now.
It takes around 5 min to get to the home screen.
but when you think its finaly started, then there appears an error:
Run FILEOP
\windows\Menu_FILEOP_Operator.txt
faild.
What can i do about this?
Hardreset again?
(this would be my 13th time that my phone crashed... i'm becomming crazy..)
can anyone help me with this?

1) Backup all PIM data.
2) Preform Task 29(that's the topic showthread.php?t=653604)
3) Flash with the ROM you like
4) Hard reset 1 or 2 times depending of ROM requirements.
5) Restore the PIM data.
6) Have fun
