Hi guys
I've just upgraded to WM5 making sure I ran a back up of my contacts and calander before.
The CompactFlashBackUpPim file is on my Storage card.
But now I have upgraded my ROM I find out there is no XBackup on WM5.
How do I get my contacts back.
I'm stuffed with out them.
I've tryed rolling back to what it was before but with no joy as the ROM has been up graded.
I'm really struggling here.
All my contact and dariy information have allways been back up using the x back up the old version.
I don't need to roll back from wm5 I just need to get my contacts back.
Is there a way I can do this.
I can't contact any one I've lot everything.
I have back up of the back ups on my PC but there all going to be in X back up format.
ARRRRRRRH
Didn't you ever activesync them to your PC?
Do you know anyone who'd be prepared to lend you a phone, xbackup to that, and sync to your PC, and then sync back to your new phone?
Any chance of downgrading and syncing?

I thought about this but everyone I know has WM5.
I have backups backed up on my PC but there all in xback up format.
I had everything in there fight referance for my comming holiday.

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 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?

Hello people, is there anyone who's got the default DUTCH T-mobile ROM images backed up? Or is there anyone who can tell me where to find them?
I've lost my dumped images due to an hdd failure!
A few months ago my Hermes is repaired by the T-mobile store, but they havent fixed all problems so i'll have to go back and let them repair it again.
Did you check the wiki for WM5 ROMS and WM6 ROMS?
Yes, I've cheked that one already,
I've found the dumpfiles... Backed them up before I started upgrading
I now got 3 .RAW files What to do with them?
Is it possible to use these files to restore my Phone?
Or are these files not the ones I need?
Do you know where to find a thread that describes what i can do with these files?
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!!!
try to flash the rom again or try to use your old one.

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

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 ....
Hey everyone,
I recently goldcarded my phone, and now have 2.73.405.5 running on it, but it won't sync with my PC, and I can't import contacts from the memory card either, can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Kev
Reinstall latest HTC sync from HTC site?,... update drivers?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
If you have goldcard downgraded to 2.73.405.5 I assume you're going to install a custom rom so there isn't any point in syncing the data now because its about to be wiped again. Wait until you get onto the custom rom then put the data back.
Also contacts aren't stored on the memory card AFAIK...

Contacts are on /data. Use Google contact sync if u want then backed up.
For now I'm not going to install a custom ROM, as it sounds like 2.1 for Hero is round the corner, with the 1st part being released etc, I'll probably get frustrated and do it in the next few months, but right now I just want to be running standard HTC software, and the possibility of custom ROMs in a bit. I know they aren't installed on the memory card, but you should be able to import them from the memory card, no? That's what I've done in the past...
I've tried re-installing the drivers, but I'll try re-installing Sync.
Thanks
I've been messing with it, and after re-installing the T-Mobile software with the goldcard in, and doing the update to the 2.1 part 1 update it all works fine.
Thanks for your help/
Kevin
2.1 is already fully released officially.
You can backup the contacts using HTC sync, or if they are google contacts they are automatically synced.
