Hi
does anyone know how to copy the txt messages that are stored in the phones memory.
I found a file call tmail.dll (i am using a T-mobile chip in a Orabge SPV m600 handset) however i am unable to copy this file as it is an executable file in ROM.
Cheers
Phil

Hi there!
I got a question:
id like to change the sound when i recieve a sms with a custom one on my o2 xda neo but when i copy a wav file to the my documents directory the file only appears in the ringtone menue for incoming calls. so my plan was to replace one of the default sound files in the windows dir wich is shown in the menue for incoming sms sound eg alarm1.wav. the problem is that those files are write protected. is the any way to get write acces to this directory? or is there an other way to change the sound for an incoming sms to a custom sound file?
1. You can use Total Commander to overwrite the write access. It works for most of the write protected files. Not sure about the WAV.
2. You can just copy your WAV into the \Windows directory. The \Windows is not write protected. Your WAV file should shown in your SMS noti sound after you copied it into \Windows
thank you!!! your second advice worked!

I accidentally deleted the 'canned text' file on my M5000. I think it's used in email templates but have never seemed to have needed it. Can anyone please email a copy to me, along with which directory it was in, so I can put it back?
Canned text file
Problem solved. A second copy of the canned text.txt file existed in the Windows directory. I was able to copy and paste it into the my documents/aucontent directory which is where I accidentally deleted it. A similar (but different) file exists on pther SPV models in both directories. In the M700 it is called 'cannedtext_0409.bin'.
Hi all,
I need to replace the pim.vol file on my Blackstone with an older copy. I tried a simple copy and rename procedure, but after rebooting my device, cprog.exe crashes and the device remains frozen until I change back to the original pim.vol ( via PC using Activesync).
Any ideas how I can replace my pim.vol without my phone freaking out?
Thanks in advance...
Bumping for the first and last time only... anyone?

Just simply replacing a file may not work due to which rom it came from. The replace new files with an older version may not be compatible and may also affect registry enties. Always better to use 3rd party apps for backup.
How did you originally backup your PIM data. Did you just copy a file over or did you use 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Sprite etc?
Thanks for the reply, Fallen... the PIM file is from the same ROM as the one I'm trying to replace for (1.19 that ships with handsets with Orange UK).
I understand what you're saying about using back up software; in fact I had used PIMbackup, but I had stored the backup file generated by this program on the SD card on my phone only, and unfortunately my phone got lost/stolen - a possibility I hadn't taken into account. I've got a replacement handset now.
The pim.vol file I'm trying to replace with was simply copied from my phone's main folder to my PC a long time ago. Although I can view the pim.vol file as a text file and extract contact names and phone numbers amidst the rest of the ASCII junk in there, I was hoping there might be a way to replace it.
Could I get access to the phone internal storage memory without booting up the phone into Windows somehow and then replace the pim.vol file?
Rename the \pim.vol file, to something like pim2.vol, then copy your old replacement into the root of the device.

Don't mean to be rude, but if you read my original post, you'll know that I've tried that and it didn't work for me, hence this post.
Pls help me people,
Ok I successfully upgraded my htc wizard 200's rom to a windows mobile 6.5 rom.
Unfortunately for me, i forgot to backup my phone sms messages before doing the upgrade and now they are lost.
The only messages i see are the ones saved on my sim card. which is roughly 20kb altogether.
However, i used file explorer to locate my cemail.vol file and it is almost 300kb in size.
I am assuming this cemail.vol file contains all the text messages I had before doing the rom upgrade.
and, I know the cemail.vol file holds sms hisory etc.
My question is:
How do i recover my lost sms messages from my cemail.vol file?
Pls. help and thank you in advance.
