ok wtf i must be stupid or something because i swear i seen how to do this b4 but now i cant find it.. how do i copy all my contacts to my sim card? i selected all contacts but there is no option to send them to my sim card what gives?!
Not too sure about the Wizard but I know there is no standard way of doing this on the JAM.
The only option available is SIM to Phone.
one would think this is possible by installing a cab file.. just like it was possible to select all contacts by installing a ppccontactsmgr cab..
Hello everybody! After i upgraded my diamond to a new rom, i lost all my contacts from the sim card!! Oh men.....i'm desperated! Searched, searched and searched but didn't find anything. If there is anyone that can help me, i'm sure that is you all....Is there any cab, exe software or anything else that can restore my contacts from sim card?
Thanks in advance to all and greatings from Portugal!
are you sure they aint on your siom and just need copying back to phone using your sim manager ?
just a thought . When i copy mine over to my phone from my sim they also stay on the sim. If you added them new into the phone i fear they are lost my friend

I've checked many times and in the sim card there's only one contact...I encountered software to use from the desktop pc and a sim card reader but obviasly i don't have a card reader....It's almoust incredible that there isn't a pda software to restore data from sim card....
Sim Card recovery application---HELP PLEASE

Hello?? Please, can someone help me......not even if someone tells me that it cannot be done.....
Someone???
Do you have your SIM contacts on the HTC or your PC?. If you use Outlook for example you will find that the first activsync session you did the SIM contacts were transerred to your PC contacts (at least that is what happened with me). If they are there then a new activsync session should get them back on the HTC and you can then use SIM Manager to transfer them back onto the SIM.
If you have no copies anywhere then you need some data recovery software. I do not know if there is any recovery software that works on internal memory rather than hard discs - you could try googling to see.
hey guys. yesterday night i decided i wanted to upgrade my phone's software so i started flashing all sorts of things. to where now i have
IPL - 3.08
SPL - 3.08
OS - 10.0.0.10
Windows Mobile Diamond 6.1 SNN 3.1 ROM
(downloading latest RADIO rom as i type this)
the problem is the following. i followed all instructions, synced the phone to the computer and told it to save all my info, especially worried about my contacts. so supposedly that was saved. then i also went ahead and copied those contacts to my SIM card.
for some reason, though, after flashing and flashing, the computer deleted? or misplaced all the synced information and so i lost all my stuff!
i used SIM manager to copy all the contacts over, but for some reason ( i had been up for nearly 24 on 3 hours of sleep) i decided to delete them from the SIM card before checking that they had actually copied over (why wouldn't they?!) and you guess it, now i've lost all my contacts too, some of which are very important that I recover.
i dont have a usb SIM card reader. is there a recovery program that can be run through activesync or from within the phone itself?
perhaps anyone can explain what happened with ActiveSync and if there's a way to recover the data it stored supposedly?
thanks!
fixed...mods lock or delete
What did you do to fix it?
im very interested in what you did cause i did the same error
I just flashed to CM7.1 Raw Build by graffixnyc.
when i go to import contacts from Sim Card, it says its empty??? i poped the simcard into my other phone, but its all there..
how to i import my contacts from simcard.. Ive did it once but it was on the stock tmobile rom, which i did the exact same way and it worked..
Menu > import/export > from sim card
but now it doesnt work on this rom i installed..
any ideas? i dont really want to input it all one at a time...
Same issue and I flashed RoyalGinger on mine. Can't really use a phone w/o a phonebook lol.
I was able to recover mine by going back to a known working ROM (most likely your previous one) Saving your contact to your SDCard then flash back to the rom you want and import them using that same menu but choosing import from SDCard.
Hope this helps
Just had a though and wondered if anyone had tried it.
We know when we take a sim card out and boot up WP7 it boots as if it a virgin install.
So my question is if we were to reflash the phone with a second sim card can we then insert the original sim card after the install completes to save us losing all the data and settings?
Has anyone tried this?
EDIT: I meant SD Card not sim card
No replies
If anyone is going to install the new rom would it be possible that you could insert a second sim when reflashing and after the flash it complete reinsert your old original sim and see if it works and keeps your old settings?
If not it will only need a reset to reformat the original sim so nothing to lose in trying this, I would try myself but I have too much on my sim to lose at the moment and cannot try until weekend as I need my phone through the week.
Thanks

whoops, didnt mean to hit thanks! oh well, one for your collection!
from my point of view it wont work, the SIM being there or not wont make the blindest bit of difference when you flash it, the installer will wack anything on the SD card, which is the only place that could keep the data intact
if your looking for backup wait a while, Windows phone device manager will soon have a backup program built in to it, your phone will need to be unlocked as its not MS supported but other than that it should backup you data and your app data allowing you to flash to your hearts content, and keep your data.
i dont know if it will install apps again though, i suspect not, but its progress!
You got a thanks back
What I meant was, if you power down your WP7 and remover the sim the phone boots up perfectly but none of your contacts are there or emails and preferences.
If you the power down and re insert the sim your phone boots up as normal with all your settings.
So if we reflash using a different sim card the after the flash is complete, power down the phone remove the sim card and replace it with the one you were using before the reflash, would it not use the setting stored on the older sim card?
I have the manager registered so will use that when its out but this was just an idea and wondered if anyone has tried it.
(power down your phone and remove the sim and power up and you will see what my logic is )
DOH I meant SD card not sim (brain dead )

ahh, yes now that makes a lot more sense!
ill check, i plan on reflashing on sunday to update to NoDo, i need to backup all my app data first just incase so it will need to wait until then, you would probably need to make sure the old SD card was the same size as the new one, just incase it checks that out.
It won't work... I bought some SD cards last week and swapped them out and if the info on the phone doesn't match the info on the card, it won't keep the info each time you restart...
For instance, if you insert new sd, get the green theme like a new phone, change to orange theme, turn phone off and on, it goes back to green as its still looking for original card...
Thanks for letting us know, its a pity as it would make reflashing so much easier
Technically it won't work anyway as the sdcard would be part of the raid set that wp7 makes. You cannot just take data from one raid set and add it to another.
The sdcard in wp7 is not just used as additional storage it is treated as one big lump.

now that isnt quite true,i say quite because doing this doesnt means its just takeing it from the SD card but the idea is the same, ive done a manual backup of the data from the SD card, visible through Windows phone device manager, ie, ive gone through the application folder and copied the IsolatedStore of the programs i wanted to keep the data for.
it does mean that i still need to install the app, but i can just copy the IsolatedStore back to the correct folder which will give back all the data and original settings before the reflash.
