I backed up with sprite backup using the stock at&t rom, then flashed to l26s new rom and now sprite backup only reloads some of my settings and my damn contacts are gone. Is there a way to manually extract the contacts out of the sB backup file also why does activesync think that i dont have outlook installed The damn window is open right beside it and it still says install outlook any help would be appreciated thanks ahead of time
did you check out the MIGRATION settings in the backup menu under options? you can choose to migrate your settings to another device (it migrates call logs, contacts, calender, tasks and categories...better yet for contacts to never fail and to always be updated is to use an exchange server for your pocket outlook email (i use a free one called mail2web i dont know what id do without it, push email is far superb over pop3)
well that would have worked before i backed up but doesnt help much now. thank u . i dont use email on my phone i just lost a lot of phone numbers. I just need to find a way to get to the phone numbers again. syncing with outloo didnt work because it says outlook isnt installed

Hey guys after having one of Duty's origional roms since september i took a chance on : L26_WM6.1_PROV4_(3.51.502.0_WWE)_Multimedia which moved me from 6.0 to 6.1 win mobile. I flashed. Everything is great. I used Sprite backup. The only thing is i see all my contacts in contacts (when i click the contacts on HTC Home) but none of them come up when someone is dialing.
I reladed contacts only from Sprite and stilll.. see all contacts.. nothing is showing up on incoming? Do i need to move them/wipe them out or something? Is there a difference between windows mobile 6.0 contact management and 6.1 ? So far i only that on 6.1 when i add to contact it asks me whether i want to save to Sim or Outlook. I choose outlook since in origional rom i had it all saved to Phone not SIM .
Any ideas why my incoming calls dont display the contact? Let me know if u need additional data.
Thanks guys
This community is the best.
anyone on this? anyway i can reload the contactS?
I think I read somewhere that Sprite doesn't work to move stuff from 6.0 to 6.1. But I don' know that as a fact.
Maybe you could try syncing them to Outlook. Export your address book to a CSV so you have a back up. Then Delete your Contact from the Device. Then Resync them.
If you don't want to have your Contacts on the Outlook then Use PimBackup to Back up your contacts only. Delete them from your outlook, which will delete them from your device during Sync. (Remove the Outlook Sync Part. Then Restore the PimBackup.
I used PPCPimBackup to migrate. I have never had this problem even when migrating from a Dash to the Tilt (and many ROMs after that)
Hi Guys,
You can restore Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, My Documents, Internet Favs using the latest release of Sprite Backup - 6.2.2 - after a ROM upgrade. You can also use the Merge Restore to attempt a restore of all the other data.
Cheers,

Same problem here.

Can't for the life of me figure a fix for this one. Seems like it would be pretty simple...but no such luck. Help would be appreciated!

Hello, I ask you for help!
I have deleted some email accounts from my htc touch diamond, and I left only my lead account. The problem is that in the email window of the touchflo 3d i have left all the envelope icons of the deleted emails account but i can't delete it....so i have a lot of unused icons.....how can i delete it??
Please help me!
Thank you very much
Please help
Someone could help me please?
be kind....
I need help about this question
Had the same problem, could get a fix, did a hard reset.
no haRD
I can't loose all my data again.....before make an hard reset i wait for more suggestions
I have the same problem, I installed Windows live, subsequently removed it, but the icon is still there.. bit weird.
Same problem here.
Also I've noticed that I can see my old emails (suposedly deleted from outlook) on the preview of tf3d, although on Outlook I can't see (obviously) the deleted accounts and it's messages.
My guess is that when you delete an account, the messages of that account aren't deleted and touchflo not knowing that you have removed that account keeps displaying those messages. Maybe a possible solution is to locate the folder were messages from deleted accounts are kept and really delete them.
solution?
I am getting the same problem. Any possibility of resolving this issue, without a hard reset?
After doing a hard reset for a different problem I put my backed up info back on (using the one created by htc) and since that time I've had this same problem. Did anyone figure this out yet? I really need to get rid of my gmail account to set it up correctly with imap instead of pop but I can't remove it because of this problem. Any help/links provided will be appreciated.
Does anyody have solution for this? After flashing new rom i wanted to restore my sms by sprite backup and it restored also some other mail accounts which are now stuch on touch flo screen and i cant remove them. I dont want to do hard reset again and loose my sms messages.
Also how do you restore your sms messages avoiding problems like this?

this is what i used to take care of the ghost accounts: SKTools
Found a FIX!!!
Here is what I used after doing quite a bit of Forum digging. This utility will repair the "Ghost" email accounts showing up in your TF3D, and make them re-appear in your list of accounts (Start/Messaging/Messaging). It has made me a happy camper...
Just copy the EXE to your device and run it. More information about this can be obtained here: http://www.etenblog.com/2008/02/14/recover-lost-email-accounts/
The program is pretty self-explanatory, so you shouldn't have any trouble recovering your ghosted accounts.

I had the same problem if your talking about the outlook account, and when you click and hold on the account it has a delete option but not clickable,... if this is what your talking about you must reset your active sync settings for your user, delete all of them, then re set it up as new account, but do not include sync for mail, that removed all the email accounts on my phone except hotmail, which i wanted to keep, hope this helps
Hi hi,
I flash ROMs quite often, and always having problem with duplicate contact & calendar entries when syncing with my work laptop after each ROM upgrade.
My workaround is to manually delete those duplicate entries, I know there are some program out there to easily clean duplicates.
My question is that, what is the proper way of syncing to prevent duplicate entries from happening in the first place? eg. making sure device name is the same, don't restore from PIM backup, etc.
This what I usually do.
1. ROM upgrade
2. Restore from PIM backup
3. Delete mobile device from my ActiveSync
4. Connect Kaiser to Laptop
5. Setup new sync connection
6. Sync
Is the step above incorrect?
Extra info:
- I connect my Kaiser to two laptops
- 1st laptop is home laptop - nothing is synced, only used for Internet connection & charging kaiser
- 2nd laptop is work laptop - syncing calendar, contacts, & mail
Thanks in advance

What things u want to have saved(contacts, tasks,...). If u want to have saved just contacts, tasks and appointments, u dont need to use pim backup. Just sync your phone after the rom upgrade with a pc.
These are my usual steps:
1. sync phone with pc(contacts, tasks, appointments)
2. pim backaup my call logs,sms,mms
3. rom upgrade
4. setup new sync partnership(without deleting the old one) and sync
5. restore the settings via pim backup
EDIT: or u can use sktools for deleting the duplicate contacts, ...
That happens when you restore contacts, appointments etc..from PIM backup and choose the "Combine the items on my device with the items on this computer" option when you setup the new partnership.
Solution: Restore SMS's from PIM and let M$ Outlook take care of the contacts and calendar entries bit...
Beaten by Mikulec ...
ah.. ic.. so the trick is only restore sms, call logs, etc from PIM. Do not restore calendar & contacts.
I was considering that, but I was just afraid that.. if I don't restore calendar & contacts, the next time I sync, it will wipe out all my calendar & contacts in my work laptop (ie. laptop mirrors what's in kaiser).
Is there anything that I need to be aware of, to ensure that after first sync all my calendar & contacts won't be cleared because my kaiser has no calendar entries in it?
Thanks for your help, hopefully this 'll help others with similar prob.

U can try to backup also your contacts and appointments with pim backup, but use the steps that I wrote(restore only call logs, sms... via backup). In case the sync goes wrong and it will not restore your contacts,... u can use pim backup to restore them.
Recently i Flashed my rom to have the TF3D interface for the HTC Diamond, works fine, except for the landscape view but thats not a major issue. I backed up all of my file fine and everything is ok. when i go to restore my backup all of my emails from previous are still there which is fine, my problem is that they are not associated with an account just yet from my newly flashed rom, also when i do set up a my account (gmail) the device sees the settings from the original emails and will not allow me to save the account as it was before.
Any Help
Try setting up the account BEFORE restoring the backup.
PIM Backup for example doesnt let you restore if there's no account of the same name already setup so you can't get it wrong.
Might be different with whatever backup software you use though.
Currently, I keep getting force close errors when sending messages and creating or editing contacts, I really want to fix this so I thought I might as well try and root my phone at the same time.
Here are my questions:
1. Should I fix these force close errors before I root my phone. If so, how?
2. Does rooting my G1 mean I'll lose my messages, contacts, etc?
3. Is there anyway I can save my messages, contacts, etc before I root my phone and reinstate them afterwards? (If they are lost in the process).
I hope my questions aren't too stupid!
Thanks!
Giggity giggity...... don't bother fixing the fc's, they would be fixed in the process. You will lose messages, call log, browser bookmarks, internal save apps, almost everything on your phone when you wipe it. Your contacts are synced with gmail and will auto restore, any apps you purchased will be availible for redownload in my downloads in the market, they are also linked to your gmail. Back-up wise, the only programs that I know back-up on root only or you have to pay for use. So you are **** out of luck there
Gridlock pretty much said it all. But I will add one thing tho, there are apps that will allow you to back up your sms first without root. Just go to the market and look up "backup" and you will see a bunch of apps that you might want.
If you are having FC while sending messages my personal opinion would be to not backup and restore anything that has to do with those messages. Just imo.
Make sure you have data sync turned on and you do a manual sync before you root to ensure you have an up-to-date backup of your contacts.
Menu > Settings > Data Sync > Menu button > Sync Now
Thanks for the answers guys. I've come across another damn problem now that I've been trying to back up my contacts. I have a bunch of numbers on my phone that appear to not be in any 'sync group'...I select all contacts in sync group and then make my contacts sync. I check my g-mail account and its just got all my e-mail addresses but not my phone numbers. When I sync My Contacts it sends only a few numbers. I can view "Contacts With Numbers" but I cant seem to sync them.
Also, when I select 'all contacts' to sync I get that damn red exclaimation mark.
In an attempt to sort this, I selected all my e-mail contacts in 'All Contacts' and sent them to a new group called 'E-mail'. Then I selected to delete 'All Contacts' expecting to retain them in my new 'E-mail' group and it deleted ALL my bloody contacts including 'My Contacts'. I've now lost the few numbers under 'My Contacts' (even on my phone somehow...) and all my damn E-mails!
Can someone please tell me how the hell I can sync "Contacts with numbers" onto my g-mail so I can root my ****ing phone!!!
Are the contacts you lost still on your gmail account if so it will prob just resync them and you still have your contacts on your sim card also well just the ones you had before you started using this phone. The most I ever backup is my app data, bookmarks always give me a fc on the browser when I restore. I don't worry bout contacts though since gmail handles that
Well this is my problem. My g-mail had none of my contacts! When I got this phone it was a fresh sim card with nothing on. I put all my numbers in by hand. My numbers were last (fully) synced on 27th Jan 09. Everytime I sync, I get My Contacts only. All the other numbers fail to sync, I'm guessing because they're not in any group. Even if I select all numbers to sync they don't go to my G-Mail. I had about 15 number sync in My Contacts (before I deleted the buggers). Now I'll have to get those back.
I need a way of putting all my numbers that aren't in My Contacts, into My Contacts to Google will sync them! I'm guessing this is because they were put into my phone because the update where Google made all newly entered numbers go into My Contacts...Hmm
Right, I've sorted it.
Downloaded an app from the the market place called ExportContacts. Worked like a treat. It wrote all my contacts to a .csv. Simply imported them on G-Mail. Added them to contacts, deleted all of them on my phone and re-synced. AT LAST I CAN ROOT!
