you could go back to the older rom restore

and upgrade your rom and sync with outlook this update your contacts to

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.

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
Made softreset, something got messed up because when i loaded the phone again, "couldnt read registry" cant install any apps, or use any apps...
i can basicly just use the "slider"
cant go to apps screen everything is screwed up....
now is my question how i can backup my contacts and sms
to make a format of the phone...
i cant use windows mobile center on computer just says "error"
and i tryed install SPB backup computer backup "error install on mobile"
The only way for me to make backup i think is to browse my phone and copy the files storing contacts if this is possible?

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but this is why you backup when you are NOT having problems, only takes a minute to run the PIMbackup program, or to make sure you have a recent sync. Could stay synced with Gmail OTA .
Someone else may have a better idea , maybe backup your cemail file, not sure if that works.
Good plan is to sync or backup at least once a week, if not more.
Or if you use the MS Myphone app it does it nightly , syncs whatever you have selected.
Dear folks,
I've got a major problem and I hoooooope there is a solution to it..
My tytnII froze when I tried to delete an appointment.. Therefore I had to do a hard reset and now I've lost all my contacts, sms etc..
I tried to find a software which can get the pim.vol file back but until now I didn't encounter any..
I dont have a backup, which is stupid, I know..
I've also thought of a solution.. For windows you've got recovery software like RecoverMyFiles.. Is there a way to connect your phone to your pc and make RMF see your phone as a removable disk or something similar..
Greets..

I don't think it's possible since the memory is wiped.
Good bye sms and tweaks.
For PIM... Well, if you are using ActiveSync with your PC, you will be able to get back all your contacts, appointments. Otherwise, all is lost, I am afraid.
+1
if no backup = lost
if no sync made = lost
if you have made sync, beware to check the direction of the sync ! else you will wipe out on PC too...
for future, use PPCPimBackup : www.dotfred.net

I don't know, off the top of my head, if that will work. However, here are a lot of options to backup the PIM info (email, contacts, text and SMS messages, etc.) on your WM device in preparation for a Hard Reset.
If you do a search in the Windows Mobile Development and Hacking Forum for "pim backup" you will find many, many solutions.
In my opinion, 2 of the most popular (and useful) programs are:
- Microsoft's My Phone is a free service that allows you to backup all of you email, text messages, contacts, etc. (up to 200MB) to the web. you can them sync them all back to the device after you hard reset. It also allows you to schedule the backup so it is almost always up to date.\
- DotFred's PIM Backup tool allows you to backup your appointments, emails, SMS, etc. It also lets you do 2 things that MS My Phone does not... you can backup your call logs and speed dials as well (this is something My Phone does not do). It can also run on a schedule, but the backups are stored on your device (main memory or on the storage card) not on the web.
Cheers!
