Help - recovering SMS - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Pls help
I was restoring my magician and when restoring the SMS with Dopod's SMS utility but the Sent Items corrupted while Inbox is fine. When this happen I can not send new SMSs. I also made a backup with PPCPimBackupv2.8 and still no luck. Still can not send new SMS.
Is there any tools to reset the SMS database? I have to do hard reset again to allow SMS working. How do I recover my SMS? It good to have them back in the device, but having them in readable text will be OK. As long SMS works.
Thanks

Dont backup/restore SMS messages when you update the system

I made the back of my all database incl. SMS and email accounts, with the program Pocket Backup Plus.
Then I updated the system to the 4.00.11 (also testes 4.0016) from 4.00.05.
After that I restored SMS database (the porccess was made without errors or any special message, everything seems ok) but:
I can send the SMS but I cannot receive the SMS any more!!!!!
No way.
After the hard-reset (fresh 4.00.16 ROM) all started to work OK. I can send and I see received SMS sound alerts. Of course in this version of ROM the device is not wakeing-up if SMS received, only sound alert is.
I can verify that the above info is true.
Ever since I've upgraded my T-Mo xda to WM2003, the restored SMS database affect the receipt of new SMS.
I have flashed my ROM more than 16 times with all released and many cooked variants of the WM2003, from the original Ozone beta to the latest T-Mo .16 version. In all cases, if you use Pocket Backup Plus to restore, make sure to UNCHECK the restore of the email databases, if you still want to receive SMS's.
Apparently something that the Sprite Backup restores, screws up the SMS database and all new SMS get lost or stuck somewhere in your phone, although the network operator thinks that the message is sent to your phone sucessfully.
Yes my friends, i've mentioned this in a previous post. It doesnt matter which ROM versions you change to any backup useing Pocket Backup will corrupt the XDAs mail databases. $hit happens!!
On the other hand does anybody know of backup software which will backup SMS and mail databases?

SMS reception problem

Hello,
I have just returned account to me that for some time, I do not receive any more the sms which are sent to me. On the other hand, those which I send arrive well at destination.
Impossible to find since when... nor after which installation... But SMS sends it functioned!!!
I have just made a test to validate the SIM cards, by crossing 2 SIM cards :
The SIM card of my QTEK receives the sms on a "traditional" mobil phone, and the SIM card which received the SMS does not receive them on the QTEK ===> problem with QTEK (SPV M1000).
Would somebody have an idea? Something to check? ... or better: somebody has a solution ? :wink:
ROM : 1.58.00FRA
Radio : 1.07.00
ext ROM : 1.58.06
Thank you for help.
My bet would be that you restored from a backup made by Sprite Backup just before the SMS failures bagan. Correct?
If so, it is a well-known bug in Sprite Backup. To fix it you will have to Hard-Reset your device and restore everything EXCEPT your inboxes.
The new version (3.0) of Sprite Backup has solved this problem.
HTH!
Hello BRosenow,
I think you'r right. The problem began after a retore with sprite backup.
As you it advised it I have just made a backup, then a restore without the inbox of sms... but the problem is always the same one!
Thank's
I believe I had to restore without ANY inboxes. HR again and then make sure you can still receive SMS, then restore everything except email and again verify that SMS works.
If you do a search in this forum for Sprite Backup, you may get additional suggestions.
Thank you very much BRosenow, i try all your solutions ...
Hi,
I restored my sprite backup without any inboxes ... and now it's OK ....
i can receive and send SMS without problem !
I would like really to thank you BRosenow.
It is entirely my pleasure. I'm glad I could help!
If you purchased Sprite Backup, you should be able to download ver. 3 and use your existing registration number to authorize it. Ver. 3 does backup and restore your Inboxes correctly.
Still thank you for your advice... which I will take like the precedents!!!

Saving Text Messages

Hi, can anyone tell me how to save text messages to a SD card because I want to upgrade but dont want to delete the text messages. I dont want to use Sprite Backup.
Hi,
Your text messages are saved on your device in 'cemail.vol' file, backup this file to ur sd, then recopy it to the device after hard reset.
Good Luck
Mohammad

Another way is to get Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook. This app will sync the text messages into an Outlook folder and then allow you to restore them to the PPC after a hard reset.

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
