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!

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.

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.

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.
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.
Is there a way to almost duplicate the flash memory, OS, Filesystem, contacts, by backing up the entire memory address? I need to restore it all to a new phone, my screen busted on my old HTC Atlas (T-mobile wing) and i need all my contacts and files. Something like Flash Backup for the razr? Thx

There IS a backup system. I think it's called Sprite backup or something. But it doesn't back up the OS and I'm not sure about the filesystem either...
Yep its Sprite Backup, and its the best one out there, it Backup/restore everything but the OS .............. your filesystem, Registry, Settings, contacts, Messages etc. ......................... I walk around with a most recent backup of my device on my Storage card and if I ever have to hardreset while I am on the road I dont have to wait untill I get home to setup my phone the way I want it .........................
The other one Is called SPB Backup, but it does not compare to Sprite. There is a good Comparison between both software HERE
The screen is busted on this phone, is there not a way to dump the rom like cooking a rom and then write it to a new phone?
Not for the things in the storage. Just for the ROM itself. Not without being able to install a program to it.
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.
