Hello there
I was have WM2003 (ROM 4.0.0.5) , but when I noticed slowness I decided to go back to 3.18, so I used SD Backup wich come with WM2003
I backed up only Contacnts and Appointments
Then , I downgrade to 3.18. I tried to use SD Backup to Restore Contacnts, but when I press "Restore" tab, it gives me
Source: None
Space Needed: None
Soace Available: None
and Button 'Start' is disabled
So I'm stuck I can't restore my contacts. and ActiveSync doesn't have my contacts because I didn't install Outlook, so they are bit sycned
Please guys, tell me how to restore my conacts in PPC2002 from my SD Card...
Regards
save contacts and appointments via the Permenant save, in SETTINGS
works alot faster , and no sd required
Thank you for suggestion
but for now , how to restore the contacts,should I go back to WM2003 ?
BTW, how does permenant save works if there is no memory works without power? are you talking about the new i-mate ppc (XDA II) or Qtek (O2 XDA) ?
Another question , from where did you get 4.00.21 ? and do you still able to upgrade/downgrade using Programme A ?
Last question, If you are using XDA, T-Mobile or Qtek with WM2003 . is it fast enough or PPC2002 is faster ?
Thanks

if you Must have 2002, then i suggest going to 2003 first, save to permenant memory (xda1) then go back to 2002 and restore from it.
that memeory work without power, because its static memory. just like that 1k memory built into most modems, that no one notices.
once u upgrade to 2003, u can only go back to 2002 via bootloader/sd card method. program A wont work.
what 4.00.21?
i liked the 2003, but some games didnt work quite right on it. due to internal timming issues. so i went back to 2002. awaiting the Real final release of 2003.
Thanks so much
I'm now going back to 2003
Permenant Save is really cool, thanks a lot

I have (had...) a German lang. T-Mobile MDA II. Upgraded to 1.60, thinking that solves the german language problem smoothly. IT DID!
BUT:
When I want to restore the data from my SD card, the process goes through, and after the reset it says Contacts not available, and everzthing is gone: Start menu has only three lines, no programs available, etc.
I still have my contacts on my desktop (which is a Mac...), but lost all my 135 SMS messages, and all the settings for GPRS, MMS, etc.
Probably the German language settings are not compatible with the new English OS...
Anyone had the same? Any workaround?
Anyboby there?
it is very seldom that a restore will work that was made from a different rom. it is best to reinstall all your applications manually. keep in mind that when you do a rom upgrade there can be many changes made to your device such as in the registry that are now quite different, so if you were to apply a restore you would be putting your registry back the way it was.....

Yes mate. Back up your .apks and whatnot, but don't try refreshing a GB backup onto an ICS device. This is the number one cause of compatibility issues and random 'bugs' that users run into.
A fresh wipe will always give you the very best performance, and the very least issues
best of luck with it, check back in if you run into issues.
hello friends
Is there any way to get back my storage folder again ?
The problem is that I updrade my rom to qtek 1.72 and then restore all my data with "Sprite backup" an now there is no Storage sms and all other stuff is working.
Is here any expert who knows how to fix it :wink: maybe it's in registery somewhere...
thank you very much
no one?
Hi Shaytaan,
I do have the same problem... I Upgraded my ROM, restored and have no storage anymore...
Any suggestions?
Sam
I don't know :-( I just don't want to install a million of software again and agian... I think we should live without that ****ing 16 MB storage folder becouse NO one at xda-developers knows how to fix this problem.. Or maybe they are at vications :roll:
anyway if you findout the solution before me then please inform me :lol:
take care
Come on peps..no one has the answer?
maybe be.... unhide it
Hello,
If you flash your rom, do you run again the tools to unhide and unlock the extended rom ?
i know that it is stupid, but sometimes we don't think simple things.
Bye

Re: maybe be.... unhide it
on AnexTek phone there was an option to format built-in storage from the bootloader or from diagnostic mode. I don;t know how to enter these modes on XDAs.
Anybody help me, please!
After I tried to use i-mate ROM 1.72, I realised it had some big bugz that causes when U use/install some kinda' applications it freezes totally and when you want reset your device the XDA2 doesn't boot the system, and you just see the bootimage and booting stops. It happens accidentally not depends on you at first sight.
Ok, I thought, I restore the system after a hard reset from my SDCard with XBackup. But after restore (XBackup said: "restore is complete") that freezing happend again. Just the bootimage, not more.
That's why I downgraded the ROM to O2_1.60 and tried to restore my backup file on SDcard created by XBackup. It worked, but it has another problem: after restore process xda2 can't see the 'Storage' and 'Extended_ROM' folders although after hard reset it seemed.
In the registry (\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Storage Manager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC & TRUEFFS_DOC2) everything is normal and values the same than before the hard reset.
So, anybody has an idea what's happend and how can I get to visible this two folders ('Storage' and 'Extended_ROM')?
ROM 1.66
aNOTHER THING:
Has anybody the ROM1.66 in english language?
Can you put it here or give me a link or an ftp site where I can download it? I've been searching for it for 3 days and I can't find it anywhere on the net
THX
Welcome to the club... I have the same problem and NO ONE knows whats wrong... I used Sprite Backup...
I gave up and trying to live without that freacking 16 MB Storage
My current rom is Qtek 1.72
And rom 1.60 won't help it...
:lol:
I have the same problem. After upgrading to 1.66 my "Storage" disappeared. How do I get it back?
Hi,
I spend hours on searching a solution for this in the registry... The only solution is to perform a new hard-reset en re-install everything manually...
Sam
Me fixed mine flash that rome which you had during backup, mine was "T-Mobile 1.6.06 rom" and then restore your data.. everything back to normal :wink:
I want to upgrade my i-mate pocket pc to either wm2003se or wm2005. My problem is that I want to back up everything on my phone first but I do not have a memory card. Is there anyway to backup directly to my computer? If not, how can i find the correct operator code (cellcom in Israel) so I do not have anyproblems putting the new ROM on my phone?

it has got me out of trouble on many many occation including a time when i left tomtom running it backed up my files before the ppc died
hi all need urgent advice as ive killed my hd2
i was fearful of upgrading to new rom from htc website (v-1.66...)
was using 1.48.405.2 (71294) wwe
I made sure i researched everything 1st. i downloaded trial of spb backup. installed to phone. did full backup, saved to sd card. closed all progs, phone & pc
opened rom update and followed instructions. update then finished, went through setup on phone.
all seemed fine. basic clock, time settings (few new features etc)
I then went to file explorer/storage card and opened spb backup file. clicked next throughout. device reset on its own and loaded with new rom number on startup.
Problem!!!!
have my background image up pictures seem to be back, as are messages. cab files ive installed are present but I cant access contacts and a few other features.
repeated messages are 'a problem has occured with cprog.exe' please tell microsoft blah blah!!!
Htc sense will not launch despite how hard i hit the screen.
Ive no signal at all and cant sync with my pc. i guess suggestions of a hard reset will follow this post but will i not be in the same boat as i will need to restore my settings etc from sd card and spb backup.
please help!!!

ok. will try
shouldprob mention that i got a strange message when trying to restore
'this device is different from one which this backup was made. please choose upgrade mode'
then a dropdown menu with
'normal mode'
'rom upgrade mode'
'device upgrade mode'
with a check box 'overwrite existing files' (this is checked)
seems strange but the message before states that the backup was created on an t-mob leo device.
something wrong here maybe???
yeah could be.
sorry mate, i'm not very knowledged about spb backup
DN41
sp backup has a "rom upgrade" option i'm guessing you usedthat? in which case that's the problem, because it really means upgrade of the same rom, whereas you have a totally new rom, so should use the individual settingsoption, and reinstall your programs manually.
(based on reading, i've never done it myself, nor used sp backup)
re flash your original rom, restore your backup and think again how and what you are backing up.
just tried a 'normal restore' as the description says restore to original device backup was made on.
phone has now turned on with everything the same as i left it but looking at the software description its gone back to the original rom 1.48.405.2
do i have to run the update again?
what the hell is going on with this phone!!!
no, the rom is the new rom, but thats a fine example of whats wrong.
It has restored the rom version info from your registry backup.
The rom version is not a problem, of course, it just says teh wwrong thing, but there are likely to be loads of reg settings that ARE a problem.
Basically, using backup software can be a pain, till you know its pitfalls. Thats why i dont bother. Contacts/calendar via outlook, and thats it. Everything else i setup manually myself. (Well, i dont cos by now i've made cabs for all my tweaks and what not, but tyou get the idea.)
This is one of the main reasons I don't backup Settings and Programs. I only back up my PIM, and sometimes even that plays up.
You are better off just syncing your phone with Outlook, hardreset, sync again to get your PIM information, and reinstalling your programs one by one.
I can tell you this I use SPB backup all the time, but ...
1.) Normal restore is only for restoring to the EXACT same ROM that you had on before ..
2.) ROM upgrade mode is only good for ROMs in the same series*
*ROM upgrade mode only works correctly on "upgraded" version of the same ROM you had on it , for example, in my case I use Energy ROM CHT 23569 JUL 1st, I make a backup, then upgrade to Energy ROM CHT 23569 JUL 16th, then ROM upgrade mode should work, but if you go say from a Stock TMO rom to a custom rom or a 21xxx series rom to a 23xxx series rom you will have "ISSUES".
If you plan on flashing ROMs often , you either need to learn to use something like XDA_UC, Sashimi, or Toms Autoinstall, and make frequent PIM backups ..
As well as keeping all your program cabs in a safe organized place so you can put them back on ...
I hope this helps you get it sorted ....
