I had a WM6 mobile. I sold it since i find difficult with touch screen input in busy schedule!.
I had backuped my contacts with PIM backup.
Now i have the backup file but no WM6 mobile.
So, is there anyway I can see the backuped contacts in PC?
So that I can enter them manually to my new phone?

does anyone have any idea how to load the contacts onto the o2 atom from the storage card , where i had backed up the contacts from the o2 XDA2 ..................?
1. Rename existing pim file (device)
2. Copy sd card pim to device folder.
3. Reset device. contacts etc. are now restored on the device.
4. Delete the one you renamed.
I hope thi is what you are looking for.

There is no way to get the contacts stored in WM2003SE and load them in WM2005 using pim or compactflashbackuppim.
The only thing you can do, is using the PPCBckpContacts application which allows to backup the contacts in a csv file. There is a WM2003SE version and a WM2005 version. Just do a backup in WM2003SE and restore it in WM2005.
This application can be found here:

i got a new iMate sp5m but the problem is tht i sold off my iMate jam with which i had taken my contacts backup through x backup and now since the sp5m doesnt have a restore option nor does it have x backup how do i open the file compactflashbackuppim since it doesnt have any extension and how do i open it/import its contents in outlook or is there any other procedure ?
could anyone help me with a solution or a link regarding this..??
Hello,
The only way i could think of is, take your friend' device that has xBackup and restore yours. Syncronize to outlook on pc and export it out!
If you have no personal contacts or dont mind me checking them, mail your backup file to me and i will try to do it for ya when free..
Regards
Carty..
Well thanks for the help offered..but i got it sorted out by taking a friends 02 mini and getting it to sync my file with outlook and then got the data on my new phone..

Hi, thanks!
It installs ok but when I run it, it gives me an error message 'You cannot run this program on this device'
I guess it's only meant for Atom Exec. I'm trying to run it on Atom.
Anyone have any idea how to backup SMS on WM5 devices? I used to use Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 on WM2003SE and it works very well but it is not compatible with WM5. Anyone have any other software? SPB backup & Sprite backup, does a 'full' SMS/email backup and they are not able to restore individual SMS. Looking for one that can backup automatically and can restore individual SMS, that would be great!
Thanks!

Try Jeyo Mobile Extender for MS Outlook 2003. This is a PC program, that will be "embeded" into MS Outlook and will synchronize your SMSs like a mail folder in your MS Outlook through Activesync.
I use this program to backup and restore SMS... It was for Dopod 818 on WM2003, but works without problems on WM5 and Atom... You just have to create a folder called "Storage" or "Storage Card", then backup your sms there by choosing the path inside the program... Then you can move the .sms file that was created where you want to keep it safe, and copy it back into one of the two folders I wrote before when you want to restore your messages.
Yup, it's working

but guys, u c.. jeyo sms backup from atom exec is much betta than all of these coz, it allows to backup even wen u have folders created.. no progy hav been able to do this, i've checked lots.. can somebody pls find a way to run it on the atom??
Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.0 for Outlook
Dear Appu
Jeyo Mobile extender is an ad on to Microsoft Outlook and it syncs the SMS folder into the outlook. So even if you have a hard reset it will be in the outlook for u to sync back the SMS folder into your ppc. Works for WM05 and i'm using an Atom. , only thing missing is MMS to be backed up. :evil:
check it out. psst this is a secret almost everyone know.. :twisted: the crack is also available theheheeheh. :twisted:
check this out for more info on jeyo http://www.jeyo.com/index.asp
cheers
nope sultan.. it doesnt bak up folders i've created.. folders which can be created wen i want under the inbox folder... only jeyo sms backup which comes with the atom exec rom has been able to do it for me yet.. but it doesnt work on the regular atom rom.. and cant even use the exec rom coz of its grafics driver somehow gettin reseted with drain of battery or, removing the battery.. :?
Nice program. Got all my incoming messages fine, but all sent items are blank?
It's also mostly in a language I don't have fonts for I think! Lots of squares on the screen! Still, simple to use - menu is in English (Lucky for me! )
Thanks for posting it!

Did you try to restore a backup from WM5? The WM6 and WM5 PIM databases are different and you will corrupt WM6 by doing this (so if you use like SPB backup to restore your contacts from WM5, it screws it up).
Here's your fix:
Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage
Type 1234 and hit yes. Reboot and voila. All done.
I promise this is your fix.
i didnt use a spb backup but i did move everything from old xda could i of accidently moved my old pim database? if so where is it located to remove?

Yes..this allows you to get the contacts application working, but how do you get your contacts back if you have used SBP backup?

You don't (or can't) use a WM5 backup on WM6. You would have needed to us a program like PIM Backup to take the backup on WM5, then you can restore that on WM6. Or, just resync with Outlook (if you use that).
As to your other question, what do you mean you "moved" everything from your old XDA? How did you "move" stuff?
i dragged it off in file explorer to my pc and dragged it all back on
basically i need a clean wm6 pim file by sounds of it and need to know location to move it to to get it working again

pim.vol is located in the root of your drive. Use TotalCommander and you can see it there in / .
I've never messed with the file, but you might try renaming it, then do a softreset and see if a new one is created (warning, this could screw up your phone, but it sounds like its screwed up anyway). The other is do a hardreset, or reflash the device.
Hey I just read somewhere that backing your contacts by PIM Backup & Restoring them induces some bugs & the best method to backup & restore all contacts & SMS is by UC..!!!
So can anyone please gimme a the most simplest way so can do that..!!!
PS : - I have an ELF so which is the best way to restore my contacts from the ELF to LEO..!!!
Help needed please..!!!

I would say that's a lie.
PIMBackup interfaces itself with pocket outlook database using standard software calls. I used it myself to migrate PIM data from iPaq 214 to this Leo.
There is no particular reason that would make it more error prone than any other backup software... on the contrary, I'd say it's on of the safest, most repeatable way to backup your PIM data.
As an additional measure, you may want to make a backup copy of the file \pim.vol but that's unnecessary IMO.

activesync should resore your contacts when you pair your new leo with your PC.
