Hi folks,
Although I am generally not timid about modding certain products (such as my computers and TiVo), I do like to first take my time before diving in until I'm sure I've read most of the relevant threads and have gathered up the complete suite of software tools in one place. The resources on this site and the work of folks such as DCD and nueChem are amazing and outstanding and I want to say thanks for that.
As of yesterday, I felt read to take the plunge installing the bootloader, 3.27 radio ROM and DCD 2.3.2 kitchen build on my XV6800. However, I didn't just go with the stock kitchen. I added a couple of additional OEM packages from Alex.Kaiser.v4.OEM.Packages (the nue LED and audioparam packages and Resco File Explorer 2007 in particular).
The updating went great and I was able to OTA reprogram my phone without needing to call Verizon. However, I noticed that something wasn't right.
First, my phone had no connection data onboard so the phone didn't know to dial #777 for a data link and my attempts to enter this manually didn't give me any success.
Second, my PC wouldn't see the device unless I deselected the "advanced network features" (or similar, I forget the exact wording) checkbox.
Third, I couldn't install CAB files. They'd terminate immediately with an "installation was unsuccessful" message.
Finally, once I was able to establish a connection to the PC, I could add and remove files from the device *only* from the PC. Attempts to delete files from the device itself were met with a file permissions error.
After playing around for a while trying every tweak I could think of, I tried using Resco Explorer and, after a few minutes, got a registration code error/warning message. This made me wonder if this package was the problem: preventing certain types of file access due to it being in a limited-functionality mode from lack of a proper reg code.
So, I rebuilt the ROM without it and now all is well! I'm loving the new dialer and comm manager as well as the active GPS (I've tested it only with Google Maps and GPSToday so far and it gets to within half a block). Not sure how well EV-DO Rev A is working yet. I tethered the phone and ran an online speed check, obtaining 1.2Mbps download but only 60kbps upload. It's possible this is related to my local coverage (Nyack, NY), so I'll try this again from a known-good Rev A area.
Anyway, just wanted to relay my experience in case it proved useful to anyone.
One other thing: I used PIM Backup to backup my data beforehand since my sycing is generally done on my work machine and I was doing the ROM updating from home. Upon restore, it wouldn't restore my email messages because it didn't find the corresponding account. So, it's important to note that this account info isn't backup up and that you first need to create the account before doing the restore step (making sure to name the account the same as before so that it matches up).

IMPORTANT.. CHECK ON THE FIRST PAGE FOR UPDATES.
WARNING : This software has some pretty powerful features so use at your own risk. Importantly, please read the instructions below.
Hi guys.
This is my first software using .NETCF for Windows Mobile Phone. I know this software is peanuts compared to what is out there, but I wish this would be useful to all of you as well. This software helps you track and recover your phone once stolen or lost. Features includes :
1. A Thief or Lost Prevention Software with SMS Auto-Responder and GPS Capability created for Windows Mobile Devices.
2. When you forget your phone and can''t remember where you put it, you can SMS your phone to get the exact location via GPS information if your phone has GPS Capability or approximate location based on Cell Location.
3. You can SMS your phone for other information such as IMSI, IMEI or even remotely reboot your phone etc.
4. This software is also equipped with Thief Prevention system which will automatically SMS your partner phone number if the SIM has been changed against the registered SIM.
5. This software supports registration of Multiple SIM Cards and of Multiple Phone Conctacts as Partners.
6. When your phone has been stolen, it will automatically SMS relevant information such as IMEI, SIM Card Number or IMSI, GPS Location if supported or Cell Location.
7. It is able to also auto-delete Phone Memory Contacts if the phone has been stolen.
8. It is password protected and the password is encrypted with AES-Encryption.
9. Its un-install proof. It requires special procedure to uninstall the protection, so even if you uninstall it, it is still working.
10. It has MortScript support.
You need atleast .NETCF 2.0 for this app to work (which most Windows Mobile has so not to worry).
Note that Cell Location depends on your device. It should be working but the problem is not all devices interfaces with RIL functionality so it may or may not work.
For testing, kindly use Emulation Mode to determine if the application will work on your phone before using these features :
1. Make Phone Unusable
2. Protected Folders
3. Delete Contacts on SIM Change
Emulation mode will run the protection, however on test mode only and not real mode. Therefore, it will just produce a log file to tell you of the action it is supposed to make (however since its a test mode, it does not do that action). If everything is fine, make sure that after testing, to disable the emulation mode.
This was only tested on GSM-based phones. If you have Non-GSM Based phone, and you want to try it out, kindly do and let me know.
This software also can accept SMS Commands from the partner phone so that it can return informations as commanded by you explicitly. Here are the SMS Commands that you can send. Note though that the SMS is only accepted when :
1. The SMS came from a partner phone. (You need to register the phone as a partner phone first).
2. The password is correct. Password is based on the password that you have saved when you configure SmartProtect on your phone. The password is authenticated by the phone once the SMS Command is received.
3. When the SMS Command is correct.
The SMS commands syntax is :
::/[command],[password]
example :
::/getGPSLocation,mypassword
Available Commands are :
getIMEI - Retrieves the IMEI Number
lockMyPhone - makes your phone unusable
enableLockPhone - Enable the Lock Mechanism of your Phone. When your phone is stolen, your phone will become unusable.
rebootPhone - Reboots your phone.
deleteContacts -Deletes your mobile phone contacts. It does not delete the SIM Card Contacts.
unregisterPhone - Unregisters the sender as a partner phone.
disableSecurity - Disables the security mechanism of your phone. This requires restart to take effect.
enableSecurity - Enables the security mechanism of your phone.This requires restart to take effect.
getIMSI - Retrieves the IMSI Number.
alertContacts - alerts your contacts that your phone has been stolen.
getCellLocation - Gets the approximate location based on Cell Tower that your phone has registered to.
getGPSLocation - Retrieves the GPS Coordinates.
exitApp - When you use getGPSLocation command, this application stays in the memory. This command exits the application. However, this applications will still be activated if any of the command is received.
registerPhone - Registers your sender as partner phone number.
listCommands - List the commands available for the Software.
versionInfo - Retrieves the current version of the SmartProtect.
deleteProtectedFolders - Removes the protected folders.
disableEmulation - Disabled the emulation mode.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
stopAlert- Stops the alertContacts action.
runPreScript- Runs the pre-action MortScript you've defined.
runPostSCript- Runs the post-action MortScript you've defined.
runAllScripts- Runs all the MortScripts you've defined.
To install the software, unzip the file and run the setup.exe. Make sure you connect your device to the computer for syncing.
Leave your comments if you have suggestions, concerns or reported bugs here[/url]
This has not been tested on Non-GSM based phone.
IMPORTANT :
Please follow the procedure below to update the software :
1. From the partner phone. SMS your phone with the command ::/exitApp,[password]. This is to make sure that the SMS module is not loaded in the memory or update may fail.
2. Uninstall the SmartProtect. (optional)
3. Install the latest SmartProtect. If you didnt uninstall smart protect, it will ask you if you want to uninstall the older SmartProtect. Just click.
4. Once installed, Run SmartProtect to verify that your settings is still there.
5. Once verified, click either exit or save.
6. You will be notified that there's a need to restart the phone. Proceed to restart.
7. To verify its installed, SMS your phone with ::/versionInfo,<password>. This should yield the latest version.
Thanks!!
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS :
Please follow the procedure below to remove the software :
1. Uninstall SmartProtect 1.1 from your Mobile Phone.
2. From the partner phone. SMS your phone with the command ::/exitApp,[password]. This is to make sure that the SMS module is not loaded in the memory or update may fail.
3. Install SmartProtectRemove.CAB to your mobile phone.
3. Run the SmartProtectRemove
4. Enter the appropriate password you've configured for SmartProtect. Click on Remove SmartProtect.
5. Reboot/soft reset your phone.
6. To verify that it has been removed, SMS any commands to your phone. It should get thru now.
Thanks!!
THOSE WITH SMS MODULE OF SMARTPROTECT NOT WORKING
Kindly run SmartProtect on Emulation Mode and test by sending SMS commands. The emulation mode works for all commands except for disableemulation, versioninfo and listcommands. Then the resulting log, kindly send to me for debugging purposes. Note that in emulation mode, no SMS will be sent out and all actions are recorded on the log file
Version 1.1.5
Updates.
1. Added Reboot messages if required during exit.
2. Added About Message
3. Changed title to SmartProtect on the first screen.
4. Added OpenCellID Link on the SMS.
Version 1.1.6
Updates.
1. Fixed Deletion of Protected Folders. When in-use Deletion module quits the deletion process.
Version 1.1.7
Updates.
1. Performance enhancement.
2. Fix a minor bug. When a number saved on the Partner Number is not on your address book, there's a tendency that the sms command may not get executed.
Version 1.1.8

Yap, Freeware after final release. I'm thinking of adding further features but I'll probably save it on the next version. I'll stabilize this version first.
Btw, unlike IIWPO, this software uses your SIM Card as registration instead of Owner Information. Every SIM Card has a unique number which can be used as a Unique Identifier of the owner of the phone.
Thanks!!
Yep, I know and understand your point.
But most with the feature you have are not freeware.
Thank you very much for the effort.
Trinity has GPS.
Flame does not.
Edit: Need to uninstall IIWPO before trying this?

Hi Smotrs,
That's a good question. The answer is maybe it won't work. I haven't tried the application in Non GSM phone. You may try and let me know if it works. I'm happy to add that feature.
I'm using TAPI to get the Subscriber ID. I'm not sure if this will return the same CDMA subscriber ID. But for GSM, this is equal to the IMSI which is the Sim card Number.
Thanks!!
I discovered a bug but minor. If the phone is in PIN mode for a while and the SmartProtect kicks in, even if the SIM Card is correct, the application will detect a wrong SIM Card (probably because the SIM has not been registered yet??) and therefore sends SMS. Once the PIN has been keyed in, and the SIM has been registered, the protection stops.
The bug does not always happen. Only when the PIN Mode has been idle for a while.
I'll fix this by adding a detection of PIN entry.
Just to let you all know.
Thanks!!
A couple of questions...What do you mean by make the phone unuseable?....Also is their some type of way that you can send a hard reset command to the phone (which also delete's files on the Memory Card as well)?

Hi,
The application will blank the screen and therefore unusable. He can't see what's happening on the screen. He is able to receive a call though and answer it via the Keypad. He can receive SMS but he can't see it.
For your feature request, I have thought of that and will add that as well. My thought is like this. Users are able to choose which folders (Phone Memory and Memory Card) they want to be protected so in the event that the phone is stolen, these folders are either automatically deleted or deleted based on trigger via SMS. I've plans to add this feature on the next version after the final version (unless there's not much bug to be fixed which means I have time to add the feature for the final release). For now, my plan is to stabilize and fix minor bugs to make it final before adding the new features.
But not to worry though, I'll definitely add this as I've thought of this as well.
Thanks!!
Is there any way (such as if the phone is recovered) to make the phone re-useable, or is a hard-reset the only solution?
Looks like an awesome app! What a great idea. I'll hold out for someone else to test it on their non GSM phone, but can't wait.
I think the protected folders idea is fantastic, that way a person could make sure all their pictures etc are gone.

Hi,
Normally, just insert the correct SIM Card and it will work. But, for example--
Let's say you manage to recover the phone but the SIM Card has already been thrown by the thief.The solution here is to :
1. Send an SMS from your partner phone to the recovered phone with the disableSecurity command. This will disable the security of the phone.
2. Send an SMS from your partner phone a resetPhone command to reboot the phone. This is to apply the disabled changes you've SMS'ed previously.
2. Run SmartProtect and register the SIM Card
3. Enable Security.
Your phone will then be protected with the new SIM Card in-place.
Thanks!!
Updated the software with the following changes :
1. Fix for PIN Mode issue.
2. Use schedule instead of sleeping during interval run, to make the software more responsive to SMS Commands once the protection runs.
Let me know if you need further information or if the update didn't go thru well.
Thanks!!
To survice hardreset, cook your own rom.
Configuring the setting and found some question, possible improvement and suggestion.
Suggest to put a warning message that User to backup their contacts before trying out one of the feature "Delete Contact on SIM Change".
But on SIM change, it will be deleting the changed SIM Contacts, not my SIM's contacts or Phone's memory contacts.
Anyway, I am backing up my contacts now before I click that option.
Suggest to also get the "Owner Information" sent in SMS like IIWPO when the content change so you may know more things about this thief.
My question is, if phone is unusable, how to send SMS? Or you are just locking the voice but not the SMS?
If you go to "Settings->Remove Programs", you see JLG SmartProtect, you can still remove program, make this invisible.
You have SmartProtect in "StartUp" which is needed, but the program should be running is secret invisible mode upon power up and not visible to the thief.

Or you can register 2 SIM Card. Chances of you losing 2 phones together is slim. Once the phone is back, insert the other SIM Card, it will be ok.
Looking at the feature, it should able to register more than 1 SIM, right?
After Configure, only switching on the Sercurity Mode, with my first SIM, I tried to test by switching to another SIM.
Upon power up with another SIM, the SmartProtect tried to execute from "StartUp" but gives an error message.
Tried getting into SmartProtect from "Program", it gives the same error message.
Putting back the original SIM, able to get into the configurating program.
Is this the correct behaviour?

Hi,
The first one seems to be an error. Is it an application error ?Can you click on details of the error and show me the screenshot ?
Second one is a correct behaviour. SmartProtect will not get executed until you've inserted the correct SIM Card. This is to protect it from someone else configuring other than you (assuming your phone was lost).
I've released a latest update on the first page. Can you try that one ? I will give you instructions on private on to configure manually first as I'm encountering errors on my post application.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I've found many software that supposed to help in case your phone get lost or stolen.
Some were expensive, some were free, but none fitted perfectly to what I was really expecting. So I've made my own.
The closest in terms of functionnalities (and price) is Remote Tracker, but it requires .NET 3.5 which is not installed on my WM6.5 phone, and honestly, it's a very fat dependency.
The idea is that you install this software (no CAB, simply copy the 2 files on your phone), and run it once to set up the configuration. Then forget it.
In the case the phone is stolen, the software will send you a SMS with the thief's phone number, it's GPS position, the CellID in case the GPS pos is not available.
You'll then be able to act on your phone remotely by sending it some SMS (described in documentation).
The features that makes this software unique are:
It's possible to destroy all your personal data remotely (call log history, contact, emails, SMS, calendar, owner info, storage card) -> help social engineering to get back your phone.
It's possible to make the phone send you back the call history and the sim contacts.
Slut mode (see the documentation for details).
WOULDYOUSHUTUP mode (where the phone is very very nasty).
All other tracking software features...
This software is open C++ source (GPLv3), small (75ko with no dependencies), and free.
You'll find it at http://dsmp.sf.net (documentation on that page)
Or the direct link is attached.
Beta tester welcome (I've tested all functions already, but, you know what software development is....)
Some remarks for those who don't read threads:
whereRU: requires you to have at least a .wav file in your windows ring folder. I thought all phone had at least one .wav based ring. In 64kb, I haven't included a MP3/AAC/MP4 player.
owner: This is what I said in my first posts. Microsoft didn't feel it was interesting to document how to retrieve owner info. So, almost all manufacturer have made there own proprietary stuff. I've a HTC phone, so I've checked the code work for HTC. If you have more information about where your phone store its owner information in registry, I can add your phone support.
contact: On the main config dialog, in the combo box where you can enter the phone number to contact, you'll have a phone number list. It's the same list as returned in the "contact" command. So if you don't have such list in the config dialog, then this means that either you don't have any contact on your SIM card, or it's not working (in that case PM me).
Please read the website http://dsmp.sf.net
To install the software:
1. Extract the zip file (either on your phone, or on the PC, and then copy the 2 files from archive to your phone)
2. Run the extracted exe on your phone. If you have signed warning say yes.
3. Set up your configuration (DON'T check "Don't show this screen anymore")
4. If you have a GPS in your device, go outside to make sure the GPS is working with the configuration you've made
5. Enter a (not yours) phone number in the SMS par edit/combobox
6. Enter a password in the edit box on the bottom
7. Click done => Say yes.
8. Start the software again, enter the previous password in the field on the botton to unlock the dialog, then click on "Configuration done, install now"
9. If you have signature warning for the DLL say yes.
10. It should display "Installation done". You can then send yourself a SMS with the right format to check if it's working.
11. If it's working, delete the SMS you've just sent from your outbox, and trash, and then start the software again and check "Don't show this screen anymore". You'll have to click "Configuration done" again, but this times, you shouldn't have any warning.
12. If it's not working, well post on the forum.
Changelog:
- Added "allow" command so it's possible to use multiple allowed SIM card. Setup the software as described above, and then change your card. You'll get a SMS with the new number (if not, your configuration isn't good). Then reply with the command "dsmp # allow # password" with no space between #. This SIM card is then allowed. You can have up to 4 allowed SIM card.
- Fixed an installation bug on non-french phone. Sorry, I've been lazy, and it should be fixed.
- Added support for "Dsmp" in addition of "dsmp" as trigger code
- More owner info retrieved for HTC phones
Please go to sf.net page ( http://dsmp.sf.net ) if you want to get the debug version or source code.
sounds impressive ! i might give it a try!
good work !
CDMA diamond running a 6.1 rom. got to step 8 and each time I enter in my password and close my keyboard the screen where the keyboard was (touchpal is my SIP) shows the screen behind what it should show. hope that makes sense. how do I uninstall this software?
also, I dont see anywhere where it says what WOULDYOUSHUTUP mode is.
WOULDYOUSHUTUP is what happen when you send a sms with "whereRU". The phone rings at max volume for 60s with no possible way to stop it, even if it was in silent mode.
Useful when you've lost your phone nearby, (it won't stop until you've found it, or 60s later), or, as intended, to become a nuisance to any thief in the middle of the night.
To uninstall the software you must click on "Zap" button, but you need your password for that. BTW if you haven't done step 8, you don't need to uninstall, as the installation proceed only when you click "Configuration done" button.
If the software doesn't accept the password you've set at step 6, then it's likely that it was entered wrong at first? I'll PM you about this, if you don't mind.
installed it, and tested a whereRU with another phone, doesn't work. :\
I've answered with specific details by PM. I trying to understand why installation didn't work for you. I'll update the post with the informations you'll give me.
sounds really nice.
I just see some problems. These problems apply to any anti-theft program :
If you have a pin-lock for the device (not sim card lock, the built-in windows lock), the thief will not be able to change anything (owner, ...). He can only change the sim and try to boot, what will of course fail. As this fails (without unlocking phone-lock, no dialing), he will not be able to establish a connection to his mobile network and you will not get his number (?!)
As hard-reset is always possible (every thief can google ) w/o the program being cooked into rom, this software is senseless if you can't cook roms. I can't
If I understood it correctly, you would need to edit the 2 files to your needs (with numbers aso) at first instance and afterwards cook them into rom. This has to be done by each end-user each time he flashes a new rom and cant be done by rom-chef because he doesnt know your data.
Isn't it possible to make that wireless? E.g. you specify an email there and the programm will at first boot after hardreset (after cooking into rom) establish a connection to a server (or mail to specified mail) to download the details (cell number, pw, ...) you entered in the server? ^^
You only can enter one own cell number. Bad if you sometimes switch the sim's.
Would be better to implement that from remotetracker:
SIM Cards: you can set up to four known SIM cards. If you, or anyone, change the SIM card to an unknown card, your emergency number and e-mails will receive a message alerting you about the change and with the new number

* If you use this kind of software, you'll want to make your thief believe he succeed owning your phone. If you PIN-lock your device, then the thief will have to hard reset the phone to use it, defeating the whole process.
* In my previous phone (Universal), there was a Extended ROM made by the operator that survived hard reset. I've used that ROM by that time.
Now, you're perfectly right, with a single ROM, the hard reset kills the software. Your idea of using a external server is genius. I guess I'll add this, using your device ID (which doesn't change whatever the ROM) (or IMEI), to retrieve the config for your phone. The config will be saved on a server, and the config can be sent back by SMS (so even if the thief doesn't have network contract, it'll work).
* You switch SIM ? Is 2 SIM okay ?
I wanted the software to be extremely simple to setup, so it detected the IMSI by itself.
Now, if you need to store 2 IMSI, it'll need another edit box to let you enter the IMSI numbers.
I can add a new command "allow" that, when you've inserted your second SIM, will allow the new IMSI upon receiving.
Let me think about this.
Yep, but I won't -of course- disable excellent built-in security mechanisms to make it *perhaps* easier to get the phone back just in case someone steals my phone.
The phone-lock is ideal to keep away random access to private and corporate data from other persons (friends, aso).
Despite the lack of some functions I installed the program yesterday and it doesn't work as thought:
The program loads after each reset again with the config screen
The program is active in task manager (dsmp.exe)
The sent commands aren't executed. If I send the commands (e.g. rst or whereRU) to the phone, the display turns on but nothing happens.
(perhaps the first 2 problems are caused because I did not hide the program yet with "Do not show this anymore" Not sure about that )
You could just say at setup: Now turn off the phone and enter your other sim and start the setup again to detect the second sim
hi popol256,
is there a chance for a very thin application, that after installed on a phone (e.g LEO) makes JUST the following:
- receiving a predefined SMS lock's the phone and encrypts the msd card.
To unlock the phone and decrypt the msd card, just a so called "master password" or whatever needs to be input.
That's all
thank you,
/s1
Locking the phone is possible (but again, if you lock the phone, then the thief will hard reset it).
Encrypting the microSD card is not, I think.
So far, I think you need to either encrypt it at first use (all WM6 phone have this as a base feature). When you have data on it and want to encrypt, it's almost impossible as you'll need the same free space on your device as your card size to store the encrypted version.
(Or if only encrypting content, you'll need to reserve half your card size for the "possibly" encrypted archive).
I guess the best method for you if to use the storage card encryption feature of WM + pin lock.

You are right. The only way to have both would be to cook your own ROM with the software inside.

Despite the lack of some functions I installed the program yesterday and it doesn't work as thought:
The program loads after each reset again with the config screen
The program is active in task manager (dsmp.exe)
The sent commands aren't executed. If I send the commands (e.g. rst or whereRU) to the phone, the display turns on but nothing happens.
(perhaps the first 2 problems are caused because I did not hide the program yet with "Do not show this anymore" Not sure about that )

Yes the 2 first issues are because the config says to show the dialog.
The third issue means that the software isn't installed well.
I've only tested it on my phone, and I might have done something wrong.
There is a debugversion here
Extract this version to your card, then run the exe in it, and click "Zap". Then wait for few minutes, and reset your phone (this is to make internal mail application to release its lock on the interceptor DLL).
Run the software again, and set the config, click "done" or "ok", and send yourself a SMS (don't need to install this version, it runs from the card).
You should get 2 message box, the first one contains the path to the software (end in .exe), and the message you've sent, and the second only contains the command you've sent. If this work, well, I'll have to double check the release version.

You could just say at setup: Now turn off the phone and enter your other sim and start the setup again to detect the second sim

Yes, it's the basic idea (in fact, as soon as you insert your second SIM, you'll receive a SMS, but you'll then send an "allow" command to add this IMSI in the allowed IMSI list). I'm adding this.
Hehe, got the following error running the debugversion:
CmdLine (OK)
(empty)

Ok, my fault then, I've used French name for the path. Let me few hours to compile a new version with the regular name, I'll post back here.
Ok, I've added the "allow" command for multiple sim card. The idea is simple, configure your software as said in the first page, then change your sim.
You'll received a SMS to the number you've set up. Then send a "allow" command with your password, and the new SIM is allowed you'll never receive a SMS again.
bliblablub,
Please run the version you have on your storage card, and click "Zap" button to uninstall it.
Then delete the 4xxxxxxxxx_dfed_p (xxxxx is a hexadecimal number) from your storage card (file format changed).
Then download the updated DSMP.zip version from the main (or the official) page again.
There was a bug with the file path that should be fixed now with the release version.
Thank you for your patience.

I can't uninstall it because it was not installed I guess (debug - storage). See errors on post before
Somehow I managed to uninstall the internal version. Needed several attempts.
Now installed again on phone and again nothing happens with whereRU and any other command except lcd turning on
Does it work fine?
Any opinion?
Nice, nice, nice. Sounds like the app I was always looking for. I will download and try. Thanks
It seems to work fine on my X1.
But gps is not recognized on port 4 baud 4800...

The easiest way to move your contacts from Windows Mobile to Android (or just to Google in general):
While Booted into Windows Mobile:
Download "Dotfred's PimBackup" (see below), it's a ZIP file, extract the one file in the ZIP to your storage card. If you can't unzip from your phone, do this step on a PC.
http://www.dotfred.net/PIM/PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip
Launch the application. Select the action "Backup" (should be default). Uncheck everything but "Contacts" then hit "Next > >"
Uncheck everything but "Create temp files in memory", hit "Next > >" (very important, don't screw this part up!)
Once the backup has completed, hit "Exit" on the bottom-left
Now connect the phone to your PC (or remove the SD card and put it in an adapter) in order to access the file PimBackup created:
Look for a new file called "PIMBackup_xxxxxxxx.pib" (the 'x's will be numbers representing the date of the backup)
Rename that file, changing the extension from ".pib" to ".zip", and open the ZIP file
Extract the file "contacts_xxxxxxxx.csc" to somewhere on your computer, and change the extension from ".csc" to ".csv"
From here you can import the contacts into Google, but I *highly* suggest taking the time to perform a few extra steps to clean up the data a little bit.
Importing into Google
http://www.tothepc.com/archives/import-contacts-to-gmail-from-csv-vcard-file/
More Cleaning of the Data
You should open your CSV file in either Microsoft Excel, or OpenOffice.org Calc. The CSV is semicolon delimited, meaning you can't just straight up open these files and work with them, instead you have to perform a couple extra steps in either one:
Microsoft Excel
http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/importing-delimited-files-in-excel/
OpenOffice.org Calc
On open of the CSV, check the "semicolon" box, uncheck all the rest.

If ur using a rhod with a Sim, just go under menu in the contact tab in winmo and save to sim. Then import from xdandroid. I've seen a lot of tuts saying remove you sim before booting xdandroid, but I never have and it get connectivity. Maybe its becuz I'm on tmobile. I dunno. But I hope this help
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
T-Mobile TP2 Froyo 2.21
trying this right now, I havent, done the "Clean up " steps, but it seems that only the contacts that have Photo Contacts or specialized ringtones from WinMo are the ones that have a lot of this:
0x3c,0x00,0x48,0x00,0x54,0x00,0x43,0x00,0x44,0x00,0x61,0x00,0x74,0x00
showing up in the notes. but other than that, I could live without doing the clean up... I tried doing the cleanup with Excel, but it wasnt working.
Thanks a lot though, this helped a great amount

Yeah I had contact pictures showing up in the notes too, but there were only 2 so they were easily deleted.

I don't know, Honestly I followed http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138636. Activesync did it's thing and when I reset into Android I had all my contacts.
having the contacts is one thing but does it import them with pics ?
export as vcards
'vcard expert' is a windows mobile app that can backup your contacts and their pics as vcards. This format is recognised by different vendors so can easily transfer your contacts to other platforms such as android.
is it possible to import contact to Android without sync to google server (gmail)?
I don't really want google to save my family and friends contact information
There is also Funambol
Not tried it myself but it claims to sync PIM data across multiple platforms inc WM and Android. I believe it's free for something like 90 days
Deleted message.
Can sms's (messages) be exported the same way 2...i mean using pimbackup...or there is some other method...i moved from Touch pro 2 to Htc desire loving it
after - saved for changes - what i do.. can u explain it

WARNING! DOESNT WORK! using this method gives me all number - the first and u cant add it, since its either 0 or +46.
This procedure will allow you to configure you watch as an standalone device (no data syncing), and can be used when Bluetooth has died and you cannot pair it with your phone anymore. No requirements besides probably latest firmware installed (works without root or unlocked bootloader).
Disclaimer: this procedure was tested with a Pace running latest International firmware (2.8.1.0 as of now), but it should work with any watch running WOS2 ( = firmware 2.x.y), either Pace or Stratos.
BUT do NOT try to do this on an already paired watch as it removes the bound data and it is unclear that even if you pair the watch again that data will be synced correctly (i.e. saved correctly to your account in the cloud) in the future (unless you factory reset and pair again, of course).
Click to expand...

When watch starts, connect it to your computer and make sure adb is working (all commands are all-in-one-line commands, meaning they should go in one line then you should press ENTER):
Code:
adb devices
Then select the language you want to use (available in latest firmwares), and it should show the QR code. Then use this adb command to configure your personal data:
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.huami.mobile.watchsettings/com.huami.moblie.watchsettings.actions.personal.InitPersonalInfoActivity
After that, use this to setup date and time (pick AM/PM to configure time, then save, you will be able to change to 24h format later if you prefer):
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.huami.mobile.watchsettings/com.huami.moblie.watchsettings.actions.timezone.InitSettingTimeZoneClockActivity
After you save time it should ask you "wear habit" (if you use the watch on the right or left arm), and that's it, you can use your watch normally and even go to Settings to configure time and date later if needed.
Additional tips and curiosities:
1. If you scroll in any direction and hold it, you should see a count down toast, at the end it will launch the device test app;
2. If you tap and hold when the QR code is being shown, you will be prompted to run some tests and the logs are saved in watch's internal memory folder "system";
3. For some reason (probably because you cannot enter text as the watch isn't paired), after you do this procedure you are not able to access the WiFi connection menu;
4. If you start the date/time activity and save, it will "unbind" the watch, to get out without saving press the watch's hardware button to go back to watchface.
Enjoy your dead watch again.
