Thank you very much Rudegar, you save my life... and contacts.

why could you not just connect the xda as guest and restore the rom from activesync ?

hhhmmmm
if i delete all my contacts and connect my pda to my computer
it restore all of them from my outlook on the pc
if yours dont do that make sure that activsync is set to
something about the pc being the box forget the name
but it's inside activsync's option on the pc
I dont mean outlook or so,
i made backup using activesync on older ROM , and when i upgrade , the restore feature told me its not possible to restore cause ROM is diff than backup was...
i want back my contact, how can i do that?
HELP PLEASE!
you could go back to the older rom restore
and std. sync with outlook which add all your contacts to contacts in outlook
and upgrade your rom and sync with outlook this update your contacts to
the pda
dont know any other way
would never use the activeSync backup thingy

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I need a more reliable way to backup and restore just the SMS. The rest can be rebuild via outlook. Anyone else have alternative ideas. Thanks.

Smartphone Studio
I use an older version of Smartphone Studio.
http://smartdev.51.net/
It doesn't seem to be available anymore though.
Hi,
I have tried with the smartphone studio but when I try to install the commMan.cab in the XDA II it gives an error saying that the program cannot be installed. .

Maybe, just maybe I will have to buy smsbackup or sprite ?
I wish some nice solution (like a reg. hack) could be suggested that makes you copy the sms files...
G.
Try extracting CommMan.exe.0804.mui and CommMan.exe from the CAB file using Windows CE CAB Manager. http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
Then copy those two files to your XDA2 and run CommMan. If it works, while connected to Activesync, start SPStudio.exe on the desktop. That should do it... UNLESS you've done a restore recently and your SMS account is corrupted. I've been in the situation where CommMan wouldn't run because I had done a restore of the Inbox accounts and the SMS account was corrupt.
Dear Adam,
Thanks for the instructions. I worked alright. Now the million dollar question? Will I be able to restore after a hard reset. Will keep you posted. Thanks again.
Regards,
Kueh
Dear all,
The Smartphone Studio works with XDA II. Here is how I did it.
1) Export the SMS Inbox as backup file.
2) Hard Reset.
3) Establish connection via ActiveSync but disable all sync option except "Files"
4) copy the commMan.exe file across to the XDA II.
5) Run the PC site studio software.
6) Import the backup file in step 1 into the inbox of XDA.
There you have it. I would like to record my appreciation to all those who have helped to make this happen. Thank you.
Regards,
Kueh.
Unfortunately, my SMS account is corrupt, How to solve this without losing my Messages?
You can restore the other databases with Sprite Backup. Just don't restore ANY Inbox accounts. If you do, this will corrupt your inbox and Smart Phone Studio will not work properly (it will probably restore your SMS messages into you Activesync folder or something like that.) Also forget about using the Activesync Backup/Restore.
If your SMS account is already corrupt, I have found no way to backup the SMS messages recieved. I had this happen to me as well. The solution was to do a hard reset, but obviously this lost all my post-corruption SMS messages. Some have suggested using a database editor to access the messages, but I havn't figured out how to do that.
What about this SMS export program?
Lets try this SMS/MMS/Email export program which exports messages automatically onto Storage. http://xpocketpc.fw.hu

Hi,
I've already used SpriteBackup to backup my device, but I can't find any way of restoring just the messages. Any ideas?

I have 2 programs to store massage only
i find them and tell you there;-)
One of them is PIM Backup and it is a good programe
it is freeware and in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
another programe that i have, can store messege in text format file, but i can't remember the name of it sorry
Ok, thanks.
I'll give PIM Backup a go.
However, I've already done a backup using SpriteBackup and upgraded to a new ROM. So, ideally, I'd like to be able to extract the messages from the backup file.
Of course, if that's not possible, I'll have to flash back to the previous ROM, restore the backup, extract the msgs using PIM backup, flash back to the current ROM, and copy the msgs back. Phew!

use sprite explorer (free download from sprite backup software )if you used sprite to backup and restore pim.vol??? maybe, can't really remember the name of the file...Did you try google? i know pim.vol includes contacts, etc not real sure about text msg's never really had a need to keep sms

Aha, that's the sort of information I was looking for - I've had a look through the backup using Sprite Explorer but I had no idea what the name of the file containing the msgs might be.
I'll take another look.
In the meantime, if anyone knows the name and location of the file(s) containing the msgs (text and MMS) it would help me greatly if you could let me know!
Thanks,

Are you sure Sprite Backup ,backup the message?
if no, your messege died...
with another programe you can save them as text and other format, and then you can restore it and better you can read this on pc...!!

No, I'm not. I guess the only way to find out is to restore a backup and see if the msgs are there.
If not, I shall rant at the makers of SpriteBackup and re-think my backup strategy!!
Fortunately, I'm not all that bothered about the msgs - I can manage without them.
Thanks for your continued interest in my petty problems!

Recover SMS Database

Hey,
yesterday i reset (factory reset) my android but forgot to make a backup of my sms database. feel like an idiot... long story short: is it possible to recover my sms database or is it lost? my thoughts were to root the device, access the root directory via my pc and check with a file recovery programm via windows for files which are deleted.
is it possible?
Its lost. Next time use sms backup and restore and make schedule so you wont forget.

You can always do a nandroid from recovery and copy to pc.
Or look here for online nandroid.
It makes a nandroid backup to a cloud.
