I just upgraded to the iMate ROM from the original cingular rom on my 8125. I backed up everything using aWizard before flashing it. Is there a way I can import my contacts from backup or do I have to go through and re-add all of them?
Thanks!

Don't know about aWizard, but did you sync your contacts with Outlook on your PC? Then you can sync them back on your PPC.
Next time try Sprite Backup, it allows you to backup/restore all aspects of your data separately.
Cheers, M
No I didn't. I really don't use outlook. I was thinking that maybe they were somewhere in the backup data pulled from aWizard.
Thanks for the info though!

The contacts database must be in there, but I don't know how to get it out.
Consider doing a hard-reset, after the restored the backup to clean your device again.
So restore the backup, save the contacts with sprite or outlook sync. Then hard-reset to get rid of unwanted old rom items. Restore contacts with sprite or outlook sync.
Hope it helps, M
aWizard does not backup user data in the RAM. It only backup your ROM. You won't get any luck from getting your contacts back from the aWizard backup.

aWizard do not backup contacts. Contacts are stored in your memory (RAM) not your ROM, which aWizard backup. If you had your contacts on the outlook, you can sync with your new phone.
Hi I'm tired of re-installing all my programs after every upgrade to new rom. I know people here were talking of back ups so they could get back all their programs after upgrade. I'm confused as to what and which folder to backup. Note most of my programs are installed in SD card. Messages, contacts and emails are no problem it's just the programs. Help appreciated. Thanks.
??? nobody knows the answer???/ Pls!!!

Sprite is the only app that can restore after upgrading your ROM. I suggest you make a full backup (including sd card) and use upgrade mode to restore after the ROM update. Make sure you read the FAQs first.
Greets,
I have a couple of questions about sprite backup ...
1) If I do a sprite backup, and then a hard reset, and then undo the backup, will I still have all of my programs and pointers to programs installed on the MicroSD card?
2) Does it also include registry changes (such as PTT and KaiserTweak)?
Thanks!
Not quite sure what you mean by the first question.
After a hard reset if you execute the backup exe file that Sprite created it will restore everything that you chose to backup.
When I backup I pick everything but the storage card since sprite restores the registry and shortcuts to anything that was installed there anyway.
Sprite can also restore the mess you tried to fix by HR. I did a BU and HR, then Restore only to have the same symptoms. A HR and rebuild from scratch is the only way I was able to fix my problem. It would work to make a BU of a good setup and keep it safe for later.
And that is the reason it is important to do regular backups. I do mine once a week and also right before I install something unusual or tweak things significantly. I'm using Sprite Backup 6.1 (Tilt owners can upgrade for $10) and have done a half dozen restores after hard reset with excellent results. I backup non-SD data to the SD card. Almost all my add-on programs are stored on the card so the backup isn't very big. SB 6.1 also supports remote backup to an FTP server which I verified works but don't really use.
Hi,
I want to Backup me Phone via PIM Backup. There is an option to choose folders that should be backuped.
Now, I want to backup my login Data to my exchange server, so that I do not need to retype all that stuff evrey time I try a new rom.
Does anyone have an idea where that data is saved?
Thanks.
Cheers
Jens
Was using the Sprite backup and restore off the HTC download Asia site to back up my data and restore whilst doing the ROM upgrade 6.1 to 6.5.
Sprite restore says restore completed, but my contacts list is empty! How can I recover? I have a backup.exe file on my PC Sprite made, that presumably has all the contacts in it?
HTC says I may need to do a ROM downgrade back to Asia 6.1, but where can I find this ROM, other than going to HTC service center which isn't convenient?
Suffice to say, not impressed with Sprite so far!
Hard reset, and try to reinstall.
As long as your version of Sprite is compatible with your ROM version, you should not need to revert to 6.1.
I suggest using M$ My Phone for PIM backup and restoral.
Yes, I'm not sure if Sprite backup even does PIM backup?
I used the Sprite Explorer of the back up file on my PC and all I can see is the old phones data, but no PIM (most importnatly the phone numbers of all my contacts!).
Use Spb Backup or PIM Backup.
