I got this error message when trying to install the program despite mutliple tries.
"The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its component cannot be found. IF the problem persists, try installing or restoring the file"
Please advise.
Thanks!
sorry, dont know.
pls ask in the thread of pimbackup

thats another good option

install bsb tweaks then run pim backup.exe from your phone.
bsb tweaks will allow you install unsigned apps like pim backup. remember pim backup.exe runs from your phone not the computer.

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. .

same here...
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
I have a problem with my SMS folder.
It is showing that I have unread messages but the folder is empty.
I know I have recieved messages that I have not read.
Is there a way to read them/export/import them with something else before I hard reset to fix the problem?
Where are they stored and in what format?
Thanks.
Clean Mail
mindracing:
If you have restored a backup file using Sprite backup recently this would result in you seeing the read/unread SMS/Email messages without physical data... the only fix that they have come up with is a program to reset all data in your poutlook database, unfortunately erasing your data for good EVEN your email accounts that are present. Their file is attached and is to be ran on the PPC... KNOWING that it will RESET your Pocket Outlook to "factory" defaults, but in turn solve your problem. I think that there was a program to backup SMS messages, maybe you could look into it and see if it helps you before erasing them?
If you have not restored from a backup recently - I cannot help for I do not know.
- Cheers
Thanks,
Yes I have restored from a back-up.
Thanks for your help.
Hey
I have found I have the same problems myself (its why I dont use xBackup). However if your backup file was made with Sprite Backup then simply install the latest version on your device, then load it and open the backup file from the program (even if its self extracting). It will use the new restore functionality that fixes the problem. (After restoring the raw messages it 'patches' them.)
If your backup was made in a different program then your probably not going to be able to get the messages back easily or at all. The best option here is to simply manually copy them by hand if you can access them at all. I tried the ClearMail program once when I had a poor backup and it cleared everything but the bad texts!! Needed a hard reset. You can try using programs such as "SMS Cool!" and "Jeyo Mobile Companion" but I got connection error messages when I had a corrupted inbox.

I had the same problem restoring emails and SMS from sprite backup files myself until I upgraded to version 3.13. Seems like the problem has been resolved.
If you have your original backup files, the latest version should patch the mail database correctly and allow you to view the restored SMS.
Hope that helps.
FYI, WM2003SE is using this app Tmail.exe for the SMS. It is located in /Windows directory.
i had this when i used x back up and no matter what i did when i tried to text i would set it to use sms account but it would still try to use activesync account, so i restored an even older back up then restored the one that went funny and it worked fine. its done that twice and thats fixed it both times
Cleanmail fixed my problems.... but no I have no MMS database/inbox
anyone know how to rebuild it ?
thnx
mms after backup
I had this prob a while back when upgrading rom. I was unable to open mms App. Problem was when active sync runs it copied old files. if you delete the "mms ua" folder that is saved in my docs, uacontents. this gets rid of any messages you had b4 but you will be able to get into app.
hope this helps
solved it by restoring MMS folders from a backup..
Never loose your SMS again
You can save all your SMS/MMS onto your Storage Card. http://xpocketpc.fw.hu
really looking forward to an import feature
and please make that program work from Storage card !
it will also be more logical to run from storage card when you add "inport" feature ... than it can be used as backup/restore.
Bugfix Storage Card running.
I'm working on it.

I'm using Sprite Backup 3.1.4 and still I experience this kind of problem (error in messages specially in Activesync emails) every time I restore my backup.
Is there a way to fix this or is there a newer version of Sprite Backup?
I don’t know which backup tool is better. SunnySoft or Sprite backup?
Use spriteback to backup anything except messaging and use sunnysoft or dopod SMS backup to backup messaging.
Let us wait for the sprite team to release their version 4 of sprite backup

no, you should go and report it , they promised a fix as early as november last year.... if more people ask, it will eventually be done...
releasing "new version" befare the current one is working is like saying " ok what I bought is not working as advetised, so now i give you more money to fix that bug and buy version 4, meybe now you will deliver ?"

Um.. well you have a point.. you can blame sprite if they released a new version and they wanted us to pay again for upgrade then i think its against the law.. ill try to contact sprite.. btw, does the problem on messaging is writen on their website telling that "warning: this current version of sprite is still sh!t in restoring messaging"??
no they do not warn people
and : Sprite backup does NEVER restore MMS contents correctly on blue-angels. (they know and confirmed it)
AND:
if you try to restore only SMS or any other single DB, then the new, blang MMS DB will be corrupted and useless.
They know that too.
LOL.
No they don't have any warning in their website. the only thing you can see in their web site are:
Features
Benefits
BUY NOW
And no trial although they have this "Instead of offering a trial version, we provide a 30 day Money-back Guarantee. This is because we do not expect users to evaluate the application by removing all their data and then restoring it."
I will try to help!...
Following are problems I encounter:
1. This happened to me twice, my Owner PlugIn was lost in Today. Please send me the Registry for the Owner PlugIn, I'll just input it manually if possible. If I hard reset, it will come back but I don't want to reinstall again my programs.
2. Restoring from SPB backup will corrupt your O2SMSPlus. Have you experience the same?
2. I don't care what SPB says, restoring from an older ROM to a newer ROM is bad for your health! Or at least for your WM device's health. Don't do it, just restore contacts and that stuff from active sync and reinstall programs.
Thank you Mastiff for the reply. I did reinstall all the programs from scratch and not from restoring backup after the upgrade. The problem actually happens after restoring backup made from the new ROM. O2SMSPLUS is being corrupted by the restoration.

Man I also got this problem,
but dont worry take a backup of Contacks and SMS throught Jeyo mobile companion.
Its on http://www.jeyo.com If you are interested Tell me I can do registration.
Hello
it is possible re-install mediaplus without having to re-install the rom?
thanks! Ciao
There is no installer for this as this is built-in to the ROM. Building the cab for this would take some time though. I would suggest you backup your contacts using PPCBckpContacts to save your contacts, tasks, appointments, speed dials, call logs. And use Jeyo SMS backup for your SMS backup.
Ciao!
Maybe you could describe what's wrong first, you may possibly not need a reinstallation...

when I approach the Mediaplus, FM radio, or Wireless Manager, appear the written " skin file are corrupted, Mediaplus exits! ". I would want to avoid to make the hard reset in order re-install all the programs!
Media Center Skin
I don't know if we have the same ROM structure. In my XDA Atom, the Media Center Skin is found in the hidden Extended ROM. If by any chance, you have removed this, OR modified one of the files, it can cause this problem.
I'm not sure if we have the same Media Center Skin, BUT I have attached mine from XDA Atom.
1. Backup first your original Media Center Skin using Activesync
2. Replace your Media Center Skin with the attached files
3. Soft-reset your device
BTW, you can backup your settings, programs, and everything else USING Spb Backup OR Sprite Backup; SO, you don't have to install each program you used AFTER a HARD RESET.
Same thing happen to me.
I want to know what you installed to your system prior the crashed.
I have this problem after installing the broadband TV programs. Did you install any?
BTW Did you restore the files successfully?
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.
