I have tried searching the net and these forums but have had no luck.
I have recently updated my O2 Mini from a custom 2003 rom to windows 6.1. Now I have tried to get the sms messages from the backup I created of the 2003 rom. I succesfully found a program that will read the backup made using activesync but unfortunately I thought simply copying the files in windows/message folder would work but no messages show up.
There are programs that backup sms's and restore them but I would prefer not to have to restore my 2003 rom to export sms's and then reinstall windows mobile 6.1 again to find the formatting has changed with the windows mobile evolution and they are no longer compatible.
Is there any easy way? I can access all files in the backup file and paste them on my device but not sure what files are the actual message files.
Thanks.

Hi,
How can I backup my SMS/MMS Messages to the PC and restore it after a deletion or so??
You're able to do it with Allexport.exe. It's free and works perfectly!
You can find it on xpocketpc.fw.hu
Try this!

:shock: 8)
I think the new version of microsoft outlook 2003 support backingup for sms and mms. You can have outlook 2003 if you install microsoft office 2003
just download and install Dashwire sync it and voila numbers text mms pics etc.. saved
Hi all,
Having a spot of trouble trying to install anything onto my MDA Vario, I generally search for WM5 software/games and everytime I try to install I get this message.
XXXXX is not a valid pocket PC application
Any clues?
Thanks
Sounds like your installing an exe that needs to be installed via pc using activesync. You can download activesync from the M$ website. The latest version is 4.2 as far as i know.
If you are downloading exe files, try opening them on the pc first. Most of the exe files are installation files that need to be executed from the computer. Some, very few, are actually compiled executables that only have to be copied to the PPC and run from there.
You will also come across CAB files. These files are my preference because you just copy them to the PPC and execute it there, and it installs the files right on the PPC.
Had a problem running activesync, it used to loop my pc when I attached the device. Since then I reinstalled XP Pro OS and reinstalled activesync (probably old version conflicting)
It now works a treat and loads up all my software!
Many thanks
hello guys.
i have a little problem so i try this way because i didn't find any way to solve the problem myself.
i had a qtek s100 with xbackup and windows mobile 2003. the device now is smashed so i get a new one (a qtek s200) running windows mobile 5 without xbackup.
this things i did try in the past:
- activesync backup but this one it is about 6 months old and not useful for me
- getting a xbackup.exe and try to run with windows mobile 5 - didn't work because of incompatibility
one thing to say: i used the xbackup.exe from this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1_4x/Cabs/Patch/O2Asia_patch_140921.sa.CAB
so it could be possible that the asian xbackup doesn't work right?
i get this errormessage when running xbackup on windows mobile 5:
"unknown backup information error"
the whole xbackup language appears in english
- try to run many pocketpc roms like pocketpc 2003 (in description of microsoft downloadpage it was named windows mobile 2003), smartphone 2003 and some other roms with the microsoft emulator included in embedded visual c++ and some sdk's. the file could just be opened with the windows mobile rom for smartphone (should be windows mobile 5?) but the program crash with the error message i wrote above..
i didn't find an emulator-rom wich is exactly the operating system like from qtek s100. it could be interesting for very much people to find the right rom that is working to restore xbackup's. could be an easier way to help someone with backup problems like me.
please help me because i really need my contacts and if possible but not really importent my sms-messages.
i hope someone can find the right rom-image for the microsoft emulator.
hope someone can help me (and many other people)
thanks!
Assuming the program Xbackup would work in WM5, you can't or must not restore a WM2003 backup file to a device running WM5.

Hi all. I've installed Activesync 4.2.0 and managed to connect my P3600 to it succesfully. The strange thing is, that there's no "backup/restore" option visible in Activesync to backup my PDA. This was working fine with my previous XDAIIi. Anyone know why this would be? Is is a P3600 specific problem?
Thanks for any info!

I think they (Micro$haft) removed it in later versions of ActiveSync
Not available for anything later than PPC 2003
Just found in the help that although the backup feature is still there, it will only backup PPC2003 or earlier devices. Windows Mobile 2005 does not allow backups. How bizarre! Anyone know of a decent backup-to-PC utility out there?
Lee.
I use SPB Backup and there is also Sprite backup. These are probably the 2 best backup programs out there.
.... and does anyone know of any free backup utils out there
Where are the sms's received kept in windows mobile?
Thanks
if your OS is WM5 or WM6 then its in cemail.vol
