Import/Export contacts without ActiveSync - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

My BlueAngel is no longer connecting with ActiveSync (and there are other issues as well). As a result, I've got several new/updated contacts that are on my phone that aren't synced with Outlook. Is there a program that will export the contacts to a file (or whatever) so that I can reflash my device and then import them again?
Just for clarification, I would keep that export on the SD card as I realize when I reflash all of the ROM (device storage) is overwritten.

Look for PIMbackup, that is used bye Hermes rom cookers.

That was exactly what I was looking for! I am going to try out xplode's ROM Kitchen now.
Thanks,
Jonathon

Transfering WM2003se contacts to WM2005 ....

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?

backup from wm2003 on wm5

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?

wm5 permanent save + restoring oldfiles from 2003?

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.

Transferring contacts from Vario > Vario III

What's the best way of transferring my contacts from my MDA Vario to my new MDA Vario III. It looks like my old one has them stored on the phone rather than the SUM.
I tried Activesync but this said I don't have Outlook installed for the Vario III.
How have you guys done it ?
Vario III rocks
search for pim.vol -its like that on my uni - might be the same...

Easist way? Download the Outlook trial version, install, sync both phones, do a system restore.
I use an app called EasyHelper

Not if you ask me.....why don't you just use DotFred's PPCPIMbackup utility (Posted HERE) to backup the contacts (and anything else), copy the backup file to your desktop PC via ActiveSync, then copy onto the new device and re-run PPCPIMbackup to restore it all again....
Now, THAT'S the easiest way!!!!
Mark.
Or you can use the 15 day trial version of Jeyo Mobile Extender. I used this to transfer my texts and call history from my Vario to my Vario III.

Please HELP with deleted contacts!!!!!!

hi, my pc has accidentally deleted my outloock contacts on my htc when i did a new syncronization with activesync. There is a way or a software for restore/undelete the contacts?
please help me
thank you
............no one?
I think you're screwed, unless you can find them in your outlook deleted items?
I had this problem, deleted the contacts on the phone intending to re-create them from outlook... but activesync deleted them from outlook too.
Fortunately I had a backup of the .pst file.
Hi Deffez,
You say your PC has deleted your contacts from the 'phone. Are your contacts still on your PC or not? If they are still on your PC, proceed as follows:
1. Delete the relationship on your computer's AS or MCC, and on your 'phone's AS. This will remove all the existing settings.
2. Set up a new relationship with the 'phone, and it will resync them, together with any other files, calendar, etc that you want.
If they are not on your PC, have you got a recent back up of your PC? You will find them back as a .pst file or a .wab file when you run a restore, or when you search the backed up folders. If you don't have a PC back up, do a search for either .pst or .wab files on your hard drive.
Alternatively, you can run a Restore on your 'phone, if you have made a back up of the 'phone. The personal data file is kept in the Windows directory as a .pim file.
If contacts are deleted during activesync synchronization, they are always kept in the Deleted folder in PC's Outlook (not your PDA)
If they are not in your Deleted Items folder for outlook (and you don't make backups ) I think you are screwed.....even getting out the sledgehammer (if you have WinXP) and doing a complete System Restore to an earlier time/date willnot recover them (I think..... )
Fu*k m$ activesync bullsh*t
I connected the phone to a new computer, installed activesync, deleted (quickly without thinking consecuences) the 2 relationships, and now I don't have contacts on the phone
Hope I can recover them when syncing again in my work's PC
in future don't ever use AS
try dotfred's ppcPimBackup
I messed up too!!!
I did the same thing, erased the associations with my active sync on a new computer and I have no back up what so ever. Was in the process of updating my outlook. I do have some of the old sharing files between my other computer and active sync, is the file maybe in there? Could anyone tell me where the file is stored on my tilt, ***and is there a small program that I can install on my phone and then run to find deleted files on my sims card?***
