Hi,
I've tried to restore full backups several times; however, my contacts, calander, tasks, etc. never seem to be transfered. I get a message after the restore saying that those files failed.
I think it's because the folder /Database is readonly. Anyway to fix this?
Try SPB backup.
I'm not sure exactly how or when this happened... but I recently did a hard reset and a restore, I cannot seem to go to my inbox or even send sms from my contacts list.
The icon is still on the start menu but it does nothing.
any ideas?
thanks
Dino
Are you using sprite backup?
Try to upgrade the backup software.
i just use the backup utility of active sync.
i'll look into sprite backup thanks.
i ended up hard resetting and just reinstalling from scratch.
too about an hour and a half to reconficgure and resetup my phone.
You can solve this issue..
Just restore your old backup, install Sprite Backup 3 (make sure its not older than version 3) and backup your device using Sprite Backup.
Now, hard reset your device & install Sprite backup, then restore ONLY the SMS messages.
It shall work like a charm 8)
It happened the same to me but after making a backup. I just lost the access to my inbox and tried to send an SMS in the contact itself but noting. Not even receive them. Anyone can help so i cant have to install averything over again. My backup was just perfect ..but then this happened after restoring
Never use Sprite Backup earlier than version 3
I used the XBackup that comes in windows...
Imagination, what backup software you've used to make the backup ?
This case happens when you restore a backup, so did you make a restore?
Yes it hapened after i made a restore. I used Xbackup (the app thats already intaled in windows). I used it for the backup and for the restore. I made restores before and this doesn't happened. But this time i lost the inbox and sms.
aha, seems your SMS reception is dead now!
It happened to me once, when I did a restore. I was forced to hard reset my device
but before the reset, I backed up the entire device using sprite backup, and then I did a hard reset, installed Sprite Backup 3, then restored ONLY the SMS databases. It worked!
But for you, you are not willing to re-install your applications!
I saw a program that fixes this problem. It clears the SMS databases.
after that, you can restore only the SMS part of the backup.
I guess its named SMS CLEAR...
If I find it, I'll send it to you, dude :wink:
Ok thanks. I will try to find it. Hope it works. I will try sprite backup too. thanks
Your most welcome, dude
here I found it, its name CleanMail !
It fixes all the database corruptions in your SMS & wipe all emails & SMS messages, so be sure you have backup of all these databases.
you can get it from here:

First of all thank ezzkht for ur help. I realy thought tha this app will working after reading the forum. But...did't ddid the tric...after udse the app the in box and sms still does't worked. The only improvment that made was appearing in inbox You have a new SMS message, but no luck trying to open. After that i reeintaled the backup and used the app again but still no luck. I have to make an hard reset in the week end and reeinstall all over again and i will use a third party software for backing up. Thanks for the help
Oh am sorry to hear that
Well, its better to do a hard reset, since it seems that SMS databases are hardly damaged!
I advice you to install Sprite Backup 3.. its the best backup software ever!
I wish it will work out smoothly with you.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerz :lol:
Solution for missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service)
Hello! I managed a solution to recover the the missing Inbox SMS Folder (and service) from a recovery by ActiveSync. The problem is that when we restore there is an active program that uses that service and therefore it cannot be restored. In my last try I unistalled Webis Mail, unchecked everything in "Today" and made a soft reset. Don't run the Outlook in the PC, if you use Jeyo Mobile Extender because this program acesses the SMS folder in the PDA. Do a restore, and when it finishes it'a all OK again. I was already preparing myself to do a Hard Reset to use SMS again! :lol: By the way what's the best ROM for Window 2003SE ? Thanks.
When hard reseting the device, how can i backup my settings so that I can restore them once I hard reset. Its a pain putting them all back in afterwards!
i would like to know about this also
its a big hassle changing settings
You will need a program like SPB backup
SPB Backup doesnt save the actual windows mobile preferences - this is what I'm after, not content backup
Have you tried Resco Backup?
It saves windows settings (registry, apps, etc)
do a search for SKTools5 on this forum, and using this tool there is a backup feature where you can backup your whole phone system which works well as I have used it myself.
HI
after an HARD RESET and a complete restore with SPRITE BACKUP when I receive a new sms (or more) the tab on the sense interface show the number of received sms (until here..it is normal!!) but when I erase the sms the tab continue to show the numbers!!! Only if I do a soft reset the number disappear... Also S2U2 show the sms.. also if they are erased!!! until a soft reset ...
some suggestions?
thanks
Don't backup your SMSes with Sprite. It happens to me also with Pim backup. All the backing up apps i tried give the same result at one point. They are just not reliable. Make a backup and hard reset again. Do not restore the same backup.
Hello all I have a HTC Touch HD. A few weeks ago the "Messenging" application became unresponsive. I tried the googled solution of deleting the inbox.something folder but I still could not access "Messenging".
So I decided to do a hard reset and restore my contents with Sprite Backup.
My Sprite Backup is 6.2.3 build 2319. My OS is Windows Mobile 6.1.
So the restore went well - everything seems to be back, right down to the call log and even the custom words in the auto-complete function.
But my SMSes all gone. As were my email settings. This is very strange to me because I used to be able to restore everything including the SMSes when I used Sprite Backup on my old Dopod 838Pro. I have tried two backup files but still the same problem. I had specified the backup file to backup everything, which is the default anyway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
