6.1 SMS Threading - restore backup

Hi There,
Included in the new Mobile 6.1 OS there is the SMS Threading.
Does anyone know how to restore your SMS correctly without breaking the threaded view? I have tried all kinds of different programs, and they all show that the restore has been succesfull. In some programs you can even view the SMS on pc.
But always the threaded view on the device itself is corrupt.
Does anybody know how to rebuild the view?
Thank you already,

Im thinking i can't just double click my sprite backup's .exe restore file and have it restore all my information after i install a custom ROM right ?

[Q] SMS Mixed up

Hello,
first of all, I did use the search function in this board, also google and stuff. But those solutions I read weren't successful. So please be clement
I made a backup of all my sms before getting a new Rom on my Touch HD und I usually used the conversion-mode of displaying the sms.
When I restored the sms they were and still are cut in "sent by myself" and "received" in the conversion-mode. I've read, that this is a known bug by using PIM Backup and restoring the backup while the sms-folder is displayed in conversion-mode. So I made a hardreset and changed the display-mode to simple and restored the sms again. After that I made a softreset and changed the display-mode to conversion again, followed by a second softreset.
But my problem wasn't solved. I tried the same with SPB Backup which unfortunately changed nothing.
In Simple-mode the Date and Order of the messages are correct. Right now I'm using the RTT_LEET_R8_COM2 ROM (WM 6.5)
I hope there are some solutions for this stubborn problem.

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.
