Hi there you guys, I need some serious help here. Has anyone managed to copy his contacts from wm2003se to wm2005 after upgrading it to the latests release by BUZZ.... Hey BUZZ THANKS !!!!
Problem is that xBackup does not work properly under wm2005. I use xBackup and Sprite Backup to backup my contacts and restore them at a later time. But now I'm stuck, how the hell am I gonna copy my old contacts from the wm2003se to the new wm2005 without using xBackup or Sprite Backup. Any suggestions would help and your quick responce would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
dyuring the time you using the wm03 se)i think to make easy for you is first have a conection between the outlook on your pc and ppc then when you do find out tha all your contacts (beside tasks and calender) have been sync then you will see all your infos transfert to outlook ( check it out first) once that done perfectly,
then you can install the wm05 and syn again all you infos will be back again.
remember dont delete the infos of your membership with the activesyn of the older nickname that you used before,.
i hope it will work out very well with u.
Thanks alot for taking your time in explaining how this works. I will give it a try and I'll see what happens. Thanks again. Cheers.
Ummm...what is this doing in the Blue Angel forum?

It's already solved! ( I think it works on BA too )
Go to File Explorer and copy pim.vol to SD card. ( pim. vol is in the Root dir) If you don't see pim.vol, go to Menu / Show All Files. That's the backup part. To Restore : copy pim.vol back to Root dir ( My Device)
Cool jus to add to this is there anyway u can view the file xbackup makes from the old mobile2003 as im missin a few number that i want.
ok guys i have a lil problem and i hope you'll help me to solve it...
recently ive upgraded my 9090 to wm5 and ive made a backup using sprite software... however im not able to force that piece of software to restore my inbox and contacts on the new system... i have a fresh backup, made using wm2003 xBackup software and here goes the question...
is it possible to restore xBackup's backup file on wm5 (helmi 1.3.2)?
(the file is called CompactFlashBackUpPim)
No, you can't do it. The different versions of the OS store the data differently. You need to go back to 2003, activesync your contacts etc to your PC, upgade, then re-sync. I think the upgrade guide mentions this.
I always keep mine sync'ed anyway, so doing an upgrade is a very quick process. I also keep cabs on the SD card so I can quickly install everything.
and is it a way to see the data like appointments or contacts from that backup file?
HELP... i have very unfair problem ppl...
i upgrade my device last night...and guess what happend...after upgrading from 2003 to wm5 my PC OS crushes down so i format my PC (no chance for doin smthing else) so im not able to restore my contacts and etc with sync...when i wass using 2003 i have turned on permanent save for my contacts/conections and calendar stuff, and that file wass into my storage...it is into my memory again..so im wandering is there some tool or smthing what is able to restore that all on my PPC or im dumed?
thanx for any advice ...
Flash back to 2003, restore your backup, sync with PC, then go back to WM2005. Will take a few hours to do it all tho and it's only worth it if you still have the backup available (check this first).
yeah...seems to be only logical idea...or i wass thinking about to put my permanent save folder into other PPC retrive there and vie bluetooth sand contacts to my pocket again.
ty for advice
Hmm, why not restore on your other PC and sync that with ActiveSync? You can have multiple devices sync'ed with it, quite handy.
Hi,
i flashed the TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0 Fresh
upgrading from WM5.
After that I restored a Sprite-Backup that I made from
WM5 to get all my Apps up and running.
Everything works fine so far, only the camera-button is
not working. It says "Error opening the shortcut or locating
the target filename".
I tried to reconfigure the button under Start->Settings->Button
but there I cannot find the Camera Application???
It is gone somehow. I also dont find it with file-explorer.
Can someone tell me the NAME of the Application, where it should
be located? \Windows - folder I guess???
And can I separately install it, do I only need the exe or also some
dlls.
Can someone provide me the files?
Thanks in advance for any help
Greetings
did u hard reset it after Flashing
the NO,YES,YES Way
Yes, I did this.
I also checked the camera BEFORE applying my Sprite-Backup
and it worked there.
Unfortunately I did not check the filename of the camera app
or saved it.
It is a bit strange since I dont know exactly how sprite backup
applies its backup...
Also I dont want to redo the complete flashing process since
my sprite backup is not up to date right now and my pc for
syncing is at my workplace...
So my Idea was to just "reinstall" the camera app or just
copy the files to the pocketpc to get it working again.
The problem is your backup..u say that u made the backup from Wm5 and restored it to WM6....Even windows has some limitations...WM5 Is a lot different then Wm6.U cant run WM5 Backup on WM6..my advise is that u hard reset it and then see if its working
I know that sprite backup causes the problem.
but I use some apps (financial and business organization)
that I dont know how they store their data on the pocketpc
and they dont sync anymore with vista and new windows
mobile center.
Currently spritebackup is the only way I get them to work again
on WM6 ;-) so I need to apply it.
Since I dont have any other problems right now beside the
camera I am pretty happy with WM6 on my "old" device.
I dont need camera very often but every now and then it
comes in quite handy.
I guess I wait till i come back to my workplace next year,
make a current sprite backup then reinstall WM6, save camera app,
apply sprite backup, apply camera app ...
and see if it is working.
Hi, tschombe
go 2
windows\start Menu\Programs\camera.lnk
the shortcut should read
:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263
then soft reset
first copy the shortcut from ur ppc to pc and drag it on a notepad..their u will see what hesham wroted..if it doesent match..fix it..and overright the shortcut by copying it back
sorry, I was on vacation for a while.
I tried the above solution, there was NO shortcut, so I created
a new one with notepad and copied it to my ppc
Now I have a shortcut that opens FileExplorer on the root folder,
when I tab the shortcut?
I change the windows of my PC and the new connection of my HTC delete all m contacts.
How can I find my old contacts ??
Please HELP ME !!!
Hi,all the time you must backup your files in your pda,spb backup for programs and Pimbackup for contacts ...
Thanks but PIM backup work when you use it to save your pim informations.
I don't use before and the PIM Backup doesn't find the last pim informations ...
Another solution ?
would recommend you strongly to open an account in my.funambol.com and install their WM application, extremely easy & useful for backup...
I will this solution. I have try other but without succes ....
OP, I'm not quite sure about your complaints about the functioning of PIM Backup, but it works extremely well for me. Just make sure you back up to your storage card and not your device memory, as a hard reset will wipe all added on information from your device memory.
I have an Exchange account with 1and1. It syncs all of my contacts/calendar/tasks/mail.
Whenever I port to a new ROM, I just double check that my photos/video/docs are on my MicroSD card, and flash away! Then on the new ROM, I just point to my exchange account again, and I'll be right back where I was in minutes.
Definitely work the small $
I think I forgot my contact forever ...
I don't use before a Pim backup and WM6 and Activesync don't propose a backup ... I use PDA during the last 6 year and it was the first time thaqt I lose my contacts ...
Next time I install a Pim backup program ...
