Creating a new email account (Can't do it) - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Running a 6.0 ROM, I can't create a new email account after I restore my Sprite backup file. When I click the two ways to do it, it doesn't work, just takes me to the default Outlook account.
My question is, is there some setting somewhere in the registry that enables or disables adding new accounts? The stock ROM works fine, but after I restore my backup, that is when I run into the problem so this tells me it is a setting or something that is preventing it.
I compared a 6.1 ROM to the 6.0 ROM and there seems to be several differences but nothing stands out as far as permissions (0 / 1) to add a new email account.
I uninstalled every application that might possibly have an effect on it and nothing worked.

tsk, tsk tsk... You tried restoring the Emails with sprite using update mode didn't you???
This will cause problems ALWAYS! I believe even their ducumentation says NOT to attempt restoring emails & accounts when updating roms or devices.
The email restoration is only for restoring on the same device with the same rom.

No. This restore is from a 6.0 stock ROM. Same ROM - Same restore.
I am NOT trying to restore a 6.0 backup to a 6.1 ROM or a 6.1 backup to a 6.0 ROM.
It is a stock ATT 6.0 ROM and a stock ATT 6.0 backup file.

CAN I RESTORE MY OLD BACKUP ONTO A NEW ROM INSTALL?

CAN I RESTORE MY OLD BACKUP ONTO A NEW ROM INSTALL? STILL USING WINDOWS POCKET PC 2003.
there is an answer for you question in wiki's
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners
here it's pasted from the link...
///Should I do a restore from backup after I have upgraded my rom to a new version?
Short version N0
Long Version; If you restore a backup after a rom upgrade you are going to downgrade your software to what you had before the upgrade. Thus do a rom upgrade, sync your outlook, re-install your applications, re set your local settings.
Yes you can do it another way but at the momment you are reading BlueAngel For Beginners.///
Thank you, I did look there honest, but not well enough obviously

Nope, not possible. Flashing a ROM requires a full wipe and format of the internal memory.

Just try Resco backup. U can backup PIM, SMS, Note, Programs (extenal installed)....and restore it with any Winmo version. But i'd recommend backup and restore only PIM and messages
There is a solution in progress. They try to use ULDR (Update Loader)
and Automatic Updates. But there are no simple tools available right now.
Be a little bit patient and then flash a rom that supports this mechanism.
The rom you flash must be ready to receive these updates, but when you
have one, you can almost update to any sys, xip or oem, without loosing the
user data. I guess it will take at least one week for the first updateable to
be released.
Btw, It's again Da_G's work.
not posible but you can use backup software like spritebackup or other and then do a full backup...
I just back up my SMSes, and my email, contacts, calendar, and tasks are restored when I connect to my Exchange server for the first time. After Exchange 2010 comes out, I won't even have to back up my SMS.

Backup and Restore after New/Updated ROM question for TP2 owners

Hi All,
Regardless of what backup tools you are using, I know everyone do backup your stuff. (If not, most people)
Do you restore your backup from your backup copied after you installed your latest ROM? or installed everything from scratch again???
Will there be any different result if you do one or the other way? Will your phone works better on either way or its doesn't makes any different?
I noticed (In my opinion) some of you report your phone works greats after the latest ROM and some said it make your phone worst.
Isn't the backup/restore ONLY work great if you still have the same ROM and not when you tried to restored it on the new ROM or vise-verse??? cos each ROM might have different coding???
Anyone one?
P/S: Please help move it to the correct thread, if you think I post it on the work thread, Thanks! :>
Hi radiowc,
IMHO I'll suggest to install everything from scratch after an update that includes a hard reset, including reg edits, and only restore data like Contacts, Appointments, etc.
That's my doing since '04...
Best,

Just today I had to hard reset due to that tf3d theme maker app. But anyways, I used SPB backup and it worked perfectly. It brought my phone back exactly the way I had it before the mishap with that app. All the contacts, ringtones, apps, fonts and themes etc.... I had to do absolutely nothing to get my phone back to the way it was. I am very pleased.
I updated my ROM recently and restored using SPB backup from the old ROM and everything has been going perfectly fine.
I use sprite backup and that works very well.
After a rom update I use "merge level 1" and I have every thing back without messing the new rom.
In other cases restore is almost writing back an image.

Restore lost contact and sms info?

Hi All
I need some help, i just upgraded from eclair to froyo thru Odin with build PDA DTJP5. I left all options blank i didnt do a reset or anything just a straight swap. I read somewhere on here that if you upgrade that way you wouldn't lose you contact, calendar, and sms info. Anyway did the upgrade and of course i cant find my contact, calendar or sms. All my app's are still there just no contacts and sms's
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Also i have noticed that all fonts stayed the same and also the background picture which was was custom, also the my WiFi settings. So im not sure why some of it stayed and others have deleted. Could the file be sitting somewhere on the phone and when i did the update it didn't pick up the files?
Does anybody have any ideas? Or is this the one nobody knows on this forum?
are you sure that the rom you installed didn't make a wipe automatically?
It must of, i thought it wouldn't though because i just installed the stock rom and left all the options in Odin empty. So im not sure but i was wandering if maybe there was a way to find the file.
If I'm not wrong, in Odin you can't decide to or not to wipe system partition. That's a "feature" of the ROM. Some ROMs are in wipe/no wipe version. When updating the phone with KIES it automatically does wipe, but they are stock roms. So, i think, you are in the same case.

I also think your Odin-flashed ROM has automatically wiped your data, or at least overwritten part of it. Try backing them up with Titanium Backup to see if the .tar.gz of the backup contains your data (for example, \com.android.providers.contacts-20120208-133114.tar.gz\com.android.providers.contacts-20120208-133114.tar\data\data\com.android.providers.contacts\.\databases\ should contain a big contacts2.db file on my ICS, mine is 2MB).
Is it big? Open it with an sqlite browser or a simple hex editor, if you can find contact names, emails or whatever was in the old contact list, you can try restoring the backup and rebooting.

Pulling contacts from nandroid stock

Today I rooted my fiance's phone and put ICS on it. I made a nandroid of the stock ROM before I wiped it and put ICS on it. I didn't realize that most of her contacts were stored on the phone and were unsynced with her gmail.
Using Titanium Pro I can access her contact storage and restore it, but the AOKP handles contacts differently than stock, and won't restore the contacts. I also can't get the nandroid image to restore properly to try and export the contacts.
What should I do?
Update: I tried restoring the stock ROM and ran into a host of new problems that resulted in a bootloop so bad that it wouldn't get past the AT&T screen.
I can't stress how impossibly simple it is when you just sync them with google. You don't even have to think about backing up/restoring them EVER. Instead of just restoring the stock nandroid, you must flash back to stock first because you need the kernels to match when restoring a stock rom.
You also need the partition layout to match what is mapped in the kernel and framework...

Trust me, I know. It's my FIANCE'S phone, not mine. It didn't even occur to me to backup the contacts, because it wouldn't ever occur to me to keep them stored internally and not on Google's servers.
I used Titanium's ability to pull contacts from a nandroid and restored data only. It got almost all the contacts back.
I'm not restoring everything back to stock, not worth the pitfalls and potential bricking.
There isn't one chance of bricking if you don't flash bootloaders...
There are tools available to uncompress the nandroid images and grab the contacts database. Then just push it to the the proper place on the new rom, reboot and you're done.
