Hey guys,
today i received my P4350, i backed up my sms from my XDA-Neo with PPCimBackup and restored them onto the P4350...
But now i´ve got an unread mail in my sms folder, without any sender, message text or anything else. the receive time is always the actual time and i cant delete or move it.
has anyone of you an idea how to fix that?
I dont want to hardreset the device.

Additonal Info: It is running WM6 (by default).
Phantom SMS? Try to connect your device to desktop thru Jeyo Mobile Companion (trial version available at www.jeyo.com) and delete that SMS. Soft Reset.
its not working, ist shows now sms in inbox...i`m not sure why....
Maybe an error in the inbox database? can i edit the file via Hex or windows (XP) editor?
Further, do you know how i can disable the terrible sound when i sent an sms and the windows pops up? i found no entry in the registry.
hey, no further ideas?
easy as pie
just delete your sms/email inbox. It's the: " cemail.vol " In the mobile root directory. It'll be protected so you'll have to use a trick to get rid of it. Credit goes to Arkhipenko over at mobilitysite.com but here's a quick cut/paste of the solution.
"Hi,
I have recently discovered that my cemail.vol file went crazy: the outlook folders became misaligned.
Without much details of WHAT happened, I needed to delete cemail.vol.
It is not a simple thing since the file is constantly locked by some process (no idea which - I tried killing most of them via MemMaid to no success).
Anyway, to cut the long story short, one way to do it is to use...
Mortscript (what else!)
Create a simple script:
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Place a shortcut to this script to a \Windows\Startup folder and reset: you will have a brand new cemail.vol file when everything boots up (at least I did).
Don't forget to delete the shortcut, or you'll have a brand new cemail.vol every time you boot. "

Hello,
I am ****ed. I did nothing in particular except installing some new programs especially in the last phm regedit (but i did not use the prog) and suddenly the following problem occured.
1. I cannot see any applications listed in the "Remove Programs" views
plus
2. I cannot delete any Files in the whole System, no matter built in, or storage card
It seem that I have lost all my permissions.
The only thing I can still do is editing the registry as it seems.
I cannot backup anything. I cannot install any new programs.
If I have to hard reset now I will loose all my contacts since I only have half of them on my simcard.
Please help me out somehow.
What do I need to change in the registry, in order te be able to do something again (at least install a backup programm in order to keep my contacts).
Or,how can I save all my contacts to sim - I could not find this option in the contacts view.
Please .. desperately help needed.

I rekon you'll need to hard reset and lose all your contacts. That'll learn you for not having them all backed up, eh?
Also, Please don't swear in the thread title. Some people read this at work.
Sync your contacts with pc and you'll save all.
@No.1 ... yes, I removed that bad word from the title and already am happy again with my "new" hard-resetted Wizard... only needed approx. 3 hours for everything
I was very upset when I wrote the above, since Sprite Backup does not work at the moment and I rely normally 100% on it
@No.2 ... also yes ... an older company laptop with Active Synch installed saved many of my contacts
there is a file in the root directory called pim.vol. This contains all of your contacts, call history info, tasks and calendar data (maybe some other stuff I haven't figured out yet too). Copy this to a storage card, hard reset, drop it back into the root directory and overwrite the new one, soft reset and all of your info is back. Anytime I add a new contact or important calendar info I back up my pim.vol just incase something bad happens and I need to hard reset.
wow ... thanx very much for the heads up ... I am this will save me from a lot of future troubles
My MDA Vario keeps giving me a cprog.exe error when entering the dialing screen.
any ideas?
What mods have you done to your phone? In particular have you installed a new dialer. Cprog.exe error as far as i am aware is a security policy error where you have incompatible software. Remove any software that may be causing this, but often you have to resort to a hard reset.
I did have the same error yesterday on my HTC Touch HD. The error started after installing HD tweak (version 0.5.4). I removed this tool and till now.... no error (fingers crossed).
Hopes this experience helps somebody in the future.
btw)) the HTC touch HD in a nice toy
Hi guys,
id have it too today because of replace the pim.vol file (contacts, calender ...)
i restore the file and its ok now
sup
i had like 8 errors today :S i haven't installed any program in past 14 days...i had just exchange server & that's all. is it possible that cprog.exe error appears coz of my last install of PHM reg edit program? (arroudn 14 days ago)
I found the solution.
Go to file explorer in the device cut and copy your 'pim'file into my document or delete it.then soft reset your phone. Another pim will be created automatically ,which will be blank one.you might lose your contacts and dial history.Back up your contacts before using this.After soft reset this will solve the problem
I have same problem , but I can't delete the pim file

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
use Total Commander to delete them
I fixed my HTC HD2 by this method. I was unable to delete the pim file, so I moved it to 'my documents' folder. Then I did a soft reset. Lo and behold a new pim file appeared where it belonged. I was now able to delete the old pim file from 'my documents' folder. Wham..the device worked like a charm again. Fast running on all apps and no 'cprog.exe' error messages or locking up. Thanks heaps.
Guys,
First let me say that I not an expert on MDA like most of you guys, but I have been able to follow instructions very well. I did the 2.26 upgrade available from T Mobile last June (2006) on my own. Recently, I used Lokiwiz3a to unlock my phone for using Cingular SIM and even changed EDGE set up from T-Mobile to Cingular. So in short, I can read instruction and follow them successfully. YOu get the idea about my level.
Anyway, I was cleaning some stuff from my miniSD card and removed on folder that contained some Flex mail demo stuff (from MiniSD NOT WINDOWS folder in My device). I did some other cleaning to take some T-Mobile stuff off my device.
In this cleaning, I messed up my mailing. Here is the current condition.
The problem is...
1>When I click either messaging icon or the messaging file nothing happens.
2> When I use send email or send SMS option from contacts, nothing happens.
Here is icons condition..
1> I can see no. of unread email in today screen, but the counter is not showing curent (new information). It is just set at old counter.
2> Email option of Pocket MSN also shows old hotmail counter as above.
3> I can see the messaging icon in Start Menu on Today.
4> There is NO messaging icon in Program folder that opens when you click program icon (Like Setting icon) in Start menu on Today.
When I use File Explorer...
1> Windows folder has "Messaging" file has size 11B with date stamp of 06/09/06.
2> Windows/Messaging folder has all the message files < 1kb (1kb was my message header limit).
3> Windows/Programs folder has no icon or file.
4> Windows/Start Menu folder has the file "Messaging" with size 11B and date stamp of 06/07/06.
5> Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder has no "Messaging" file
Finally general information, my MDA was T-Mobile with 2.26 Rom upgraded and WM5.
Also, another minor issue...I can't see comm manager on bottom right(I think it is cal init tray) of the today screen.
Regards,
Rohit
Hi guys...
I need some help
Im using WM6 pro SO CE 5.2.1933 (compilacion 18533.0.7.0) By Faman 08/11/2007
everything was fine, but a couple of days ago I realized I wasnt getting any text message.
When I tryed to get into the Sms inbox nothing happened (neither with the direct access, going through Start/Messages, or file browser windows/sms trigger.exe or any other file I saw with the sms word on it)
I know that the short way to fix this is reinstalling WM
But do you know if there is any way to fix the corrupt .exe (I think that is the problem) without all the backup I have to make in case of reinstalling?
Any idea?
BTW, Im not sure if the sms trigger.exe is the file, but when i try to copy from the phone to the pc using the activesync I get the an error, like if the file is read only or copy protected, so in case I can get a copy of the exe Im not sure that I can overwrite it that way.
And for last, my WM version is in spanish.
Thank you all in advance!
Cheers
any clue?
any clue on how to fix this?
Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me out - I factory reset my GT-I9505 (stock rom -Android 5.01 Lollipop - never rooted).
The problem is that I would like to recover my sms messages - and I didn't use an app from the Play Store to backup first.
I did though make a copy of my 'Phone' folder onto my Linux desktop. I thought this would give me a complete copy of the phone's internal memory including hopefully the sms messages that I need - and that I could copy the files back to the phone.
I can't see any sms / mms database in this copy - I can't even see any sms database in the phone currently when connected to the computer - probably because phone is not rooted.
I was able to recover a lot of other files and photos from this 'backup' - perhaps the sms database was not permitted to be copied to the PC.
Is there any way that I could restore the messages do you think?
I would be happy to root the phone or use adb or other software - I suppose it all depends on whether I actually have a copy on the computer ( not sure if I have or if it is hidden in some way - I thought Linux would see all the files.
Grateful for any advice you can offer.

Your "backup" consisted of copying files from the internal storage and/or microSD card to your computer. However, text messages are not saved on any of those. They are saved on the /data partition of your device, in an XML file, which you have wiped during your factory reset.
Long story short, your SMS are forever lost. Next time use an app for this.
Thank you
Pwnycorn,
thanks for replying to my query.
I know I messed up but just wondered if there was still a way to recover the sms.
No-one would want a phone that left personal data still on the phone after a factory reset, so I think I knew the answer all along - but sometimes it's worth asking someone with expert knowledge of these things, just in case there is something that can be done.
Anyhow I appreciate you taking the time to reply and advise.
Thanks
Power Ranger
