Hi all,
Can I export, in some way, the SMS's and the contacts from WM5 to WM6? (but the sms are more important, because contacts can be rewritten in a few minutes).
I used SPB Backup for backing up data in WM5 but I don't know if it will restore it into WM6 environment.
Thank you all,
Eth
I just installed the T-Mobile test ROM for WM6 on my handset and tried to restore from smb backup and it 'kinda' worked.
Contacts in WM6 crashes unfortunately.
I'm switching back to the TM factory WM5 rom so I can get my contacts back before upgrading to WM6 again.
Contacts are much more important for me as this is my business phone!
Would be interested to hear if anyone knows a way to do this other than manually!

Thank you my friend, I'll copy those manually...
And What about sms/mms?
THank you,

Yes, ACTIVESYNC!
Isnt a good ideea to restore contact or something else from a backup when you upgrade the phone to a different version of OS.
Just sync your contacts in WM5, flash WM6 and sync again; you'll get all the contacts back.
For PIM backup-restore see this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pim-backup-v2-2.html
you can use a pc software,Jeyo Mobile Companion21.It can export all the contacts and sms to an XML file on your disk.and it can also import them to your Phone.The XML file can be import to any kinds of Windows Mobile systems.
I found PPCPIMBackup did the job very efficiently for me (didn't quite get MMS messages entirely right though)

Thank you,
I tried Jeyo companion when I flashed from 2003 to WM5 and I was unable to restore sent messages, the content of the sent messages was blank.
Activesync? maybe, but i don't have outlook or other software of the ms office suite..
I check out PIM Backup, thank you all

My thanks to buzz on his great work with WM2005, but I have a small problem regarding importing of contacts....as in i can't
I have the contacts list updated using xbackup but as we know the xbackup application doesn't work with wm2005. But i also have a full backup of my 2003SE ROM on my PC which surely must include my contacts information too. Now i have the STGViewer application and can browse all the files in it but I don't know where the file is that contains all the contact information and if it is even possible to transfer this across to WM2005. At the very least is there an application that will let me import this information into Outlook so i can sync or even present the data in a mannor so i can manually re-enter the contacts back into my phone...any ideas anyone?

Hi all, I've just upgraded my O2 Exec ROM, not being a PC user i assumed that activesync (using my flatmates PC) would back up everything, including MMS and SMS messages.
With over 300 SMS messages, a lot of them personal, others with important information in them, i would like to be able to recover them.
if theres any way to do this i would appreciate any help.
thanks,
brodie
Nope, you're f***ed. There's no recovery program at my knowledge.
did u make a backup? ...-if u made a full backup, just restore that.
no i think i just synced it. i saw no option for backup, only sync so assumed it would back it up.
I didnt really pay much attention to it, just checked all the boxes in active sync and synced it, upgraded the ROM and synced back again, but no sms.
Just looking now and my other email accounts havent appeared, am i missing something? does activesync not copy your other accounts either?
No, sorry to say but ActiveSync only copies you default outlook folders. No copy is made of SMS, MMS and other mailboxes that are set up. So sorry to say but I don't think you'll ever see the lost data again.
A little late for now but I'd recommend using a backup utility for future use. Which btw does not solve all of your problems as a backup made with a specific Rom can almost never be restored on an upgraded device with a different Rom. For SMS I use Jeyo Outlook Companion which creates a PST in outlook and keeps your SMS messages in sync. You can that also copy the SMS messages to any mail folder you'd like.
thanks for the replies all, looks like i shouldnt be so hasty and assume everything gets synced!
I'll look into backup utilities, have to wait until pocketmac or missingsync works with WM5!
I use jeyo sms outlook add on, for sms, and also look at personal vault, http://1800message.com/default.aspx to back up your phone I use Backup manager of sunnysoft, works like a treat.
Hello guys
I´m leaving on holidays next Wdnesday ealry morning and need to sync all my contacts with my computer but i can´t. I usually did it normally but it´s a long time ago since my last sync (like 7 or 8 months ago). I´m experience some problems with the alarms which don´t go off and i wanna upgrade my treo bf leaving to have a backup of my contacts and try to resolve the alarm problem.
I run the support app for activesync but it says there´s a problem with the usb port 990, i just check what the advise me and nothing happens. I downloaded usbswitch.cab and intalled it but nothing happens.....
any help????
thanks in advance
I would use PPC PIM Backup to backup all my contacts\calendar\messages etc.. Hard reset the Treo Pro and restore afterwards. Depending on what side you have the most up to date data.
If Outlook contains the latest data I would export all data to PST, sync with the Treo and after this import the PST file again.
Microsoft My Phone is also an option to backup your data first
Concerning ActiveSync. Aren't you using any firewall that might cause the connection problem?

I'm with this guy....I use Microsoft "My Phone" too....I like to mess with my phone and this program syncs everything that I need and stores it online. I can even access and make changes from my PC if I feel the need. Everytime I change my ROM I just sync it up and all my contacts, calendar etc are back on the phone!
Seem those guys never upgrade their phone, uh!
Every time you have to re-enter all config stufs (e.g. e-mails accounts & passwords, connections settings, and so on); everything can be saved by ActiveSync or My Phone EXCEPT those specific configs!!!
I just found CeRegistryEditor (link to ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/?lang=en): it allows to backup & compare registry entries with file(s) by using ActiveSync connection.
Everytime you add/change some specific settings just compare entries with previously saved one and save it with mnemonic name; once you re-initialize your phone just load all saved keys, of course without forgetting to re-install all related programs, if needed!
Your phone will be just as you want in a couple of minutes. That's it!

Definitely SPB Backup.
Give that a shot... it's a costly bit of software... but completely worthy.
Sprite Backup is a must for anyone, especially for those who wants to do some tweaking.
sprite back up
Exactly 12 hours ago my Leo 's sence stopped launching and I was in a horrible time.I had collected 79 nice opera bookmarks and doing a hard reset should clean all of them !
spb back up was not the solution ,cause it can't back up favourites.and Microsoft my phone couldn't sync cause the wi-fi was dead ! so I beamed up Sprite back up tool from my old Hd .
and it selected percisely what I wanted...I think spb phone plus or suit has the same function for backing up favourites but SPRITE is perfect.
I want to back up my hd2 too, can anyone tell me how to use Activesync for backing up plz
Hi,
i think you can't use AS for backup. You could copy all the user-data and programm folders but not the registry entries. You need special backup software for this purpose. I know Spb Backup and Sprite. Although i ve registered bith i mainlay use Spb because it works better for me. I think it is worth his money.

Re: HD2 backup
Personally I store everything on the storage card - and use Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup and restore contacts, sms, call history etc prior to flashing... works like a charm...
And in conjunction with Microsoft My Phone - never lost anything so far... even able to recover my business mobile while roaming...

As with Android you need to set up a GMail account, so you can access the app market.
Set up a new exchange e-mail account on your WinMo phone - Use the details you used in the GMail account. Once it is set up, the GMail account will pick up your contacts when you sync the phone (via the phone's Activesync).
When you go into Android sync your Gmail account.
PIM Backup.

if you use hotmail, just use activesync/exchange connection on your android
I got a question, when you install the wp7 on the HD2, do you also lose files from the internal memory? like the camera software or the album software or everything from internal memory?
so which backup file can i use to save all those folders and files?
I tried SPB.
Downloaded it ok.
Ran it ok.
Then at the end of the process it crashed the phone.
Booted but sense wouldn't load at all. Start worked but irratic and laggy, settings didn't open.
Tried numerous soft resets but nothing worked.
Did a hard reset and used Microsoft MyPhone to restore contacts, tasks, SMS and calendar all perfect apart from havingbto resync contacts with facebook.
I did have to download all my apps and mods again and confit email etc. A real pain but didn't loose anything valuable,
MyPhone very useful and free.

Hello,
I use spb backup for over a year and it works more that perfect.
Maybe you are doing something wrong (although I can not imagine what can go wrong in such an easy installation). I have used it for numerous backups and restores.No problem at all. Spb Backup is Highly Recommended.
Regards,
John
