I you have previously synced your contacts with Outlook through ActiveSync all you have to do is to Restore your contacts is to connect your device to your computer and the contacts are autmatically sent to your device. If you also want to sync all other files from your active sync folder on the PC back to your device you could to this: After you sync for the first time, ActiveSync will probably make a new ActiveSync-folder, using the new name of the device. Go to the old AS-folder and copy all files. Paste those in the New AS-folder a sync again.

i resyned and it kept the same ACtivesync name, but none of my information came back! im screwed!!!!
how do i format my miniSD card? it is corrupted and File Explorer wont let me delete the info and my laptop wont detect the card with the SD adapter.

sending files to sd card via usb cable

I see you found a way. I use the explore function within Active sync.
There's also Mobsync for WM5 that allows you to synchronise any folder on PC to Device or vice versa Freeware:

Pim Backup

Hey guys,
I'm semi noob to wiza200 flashing. have flashed my imate many a time to a better build and i commend the cooks on the work they have put in.
I have a current dead imate K-JAM (aka wiza200) which i need to retrieve the contacts off, is there a PC based application (like what i used to backup my mini-SD card) that can restore those settings so i can xfer them to a new device?
*WAS* modded to 3.08 IPL SPL
and was running jaguar version (plus my own apps).
i am hoping i can recover those settings that are stored on my mini SD card..otherwise i'm kinda *screwed*
Any input MUCH appreciated..

If it's just a PIM backup file on the MiniSD card you could get a MiniSD to USB adapter. They are inexpensive.
Is the device you want to transfer them to also Windows Mobile? If so, you can copy the backup file to it from your PC or use a Micro to Mini adapter and just use your old card in your new phone.

thanks for reply Rmcknight,
In a perfect world i would like to be able to retrieve the data from the SD card onto my PC so i can import etc as required however, current phone (at a quick buy) was a nokia 6121 classic using symbian os so i can't see anything that i can do currently.
Is there any possibility that i can uncompress the pim backup file for use on a PC? even if it's view only etc.
Or is the only way i can get the details to import to another windows mobile device?
I wouldn't have thought there should be much difference between the two other than coding.
Seems kind of odd if you can't export from your phone to PC to view/modify at a later date.
the device is technically bricked at the moment (till i figure out how to solder the mini usb to the other wizard 200 i have....that's another story )
Do you know of anyway possible that i can retrieve the data from file on a PC rather than off a WM phone??
any input appreciated.

Desperate for Help !!!!

Hello,
I've broke my Blackstone's display and the problem is that I haven't backed up my contacts, calendar etc, and things get worse. I've set up that when I plug the usb it goes automaticly to storage mode, and the result is that I can't in anyway sync my phone. I wonder can I copy let's say the rom itself and copy it to another htc get the contacts or I don't know.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
THANK YOU

I don't know if this will help, but have you tried removing the SD Card from the device to prohibit it going into Storage mode?. If this works and you can gain access to the phone via USB, try MyMobiler or something similar to operate the device as you need, and try do your backups that way.

I've tried removing the sd card and it didn't work. It's just not activating activesync.
ANY OTHER IDEAS WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED

Not sure if this would work as I haven't tried it. Delete mobile device from activesync on your pc so there is no connections setup. Remove sd card from phone and reset device. Then try connecting it to pc without sd card.
Once again I haven't tried this, may just do as before

[Q] Sync Internal Storage over ActiveSync ...

Is there a way (tool) to (automatically) synchronize the internal storage (xda touch diamond) to my hdd in activesync mode?
I don't want to switch my diamond always to hdd-mode, when I would make a backup.

Or is there a way to map the internal storage while in activesync-mode on a drive letter?

You can try this tool

Is there any solution?

Thank you for your reply.
This tool is interesting, and would be helpful if my xda diamond is in hdd-mode. But I am searching for a tool that could synchronize via activesync.
The perfect tool I imagine would synch all changed data on internal storage of the xda diamond to the hdd of my pc while activesync is active.
Is this utopistic?
