Opening xBackup files

Hi
My XDAIIi is stuck on the align screen. To try and repair it I recently downloaded a new ROM version and this briefly seemed to work, but alas the screen froze and when I hard reset it returned to the align screen problem. Any suggestions? (I am able to access the phone through cradle connection). If this is irrepairable then I need to access my contacts on the phone which are saved as a xBackup file on the memory storage card. Is there a program I can use to get my contacts off the phone?
Thanks

Look at http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16922 - there is a tool called xBackup extract from "Menneisyys".

HELP I Cant Install any programs (cabs)

When I clicked on the Remove Programs icon, the Programs in storage memory was blank. No programs were listed. However, all the programs on the tilt work.
The other odd thing is that cant install anything now. I tried to install a cab and I received the "programs was unsucessfully installed". The last program I installed before I noticed this issue was resco. Any ideas, I dont want to try a hard reset. Thanks.

i hjave the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!

Very strange - I have the same issue and it just started today. Installed software won't run and I can't install any cabs. Just says it was unsuccessful.
Anyone?

try downloading pocket mechanics, it shows all programs installed and a clean up tool and see if it shows it there, u can delete them through ur program files....see if that works lettme kno how it goes

Tried soft resetting a few times - nothing. Backed up device to my storage card using Sprite Backup and did a hard reset.
Before restoring I tried to install a cab - worked.
Restoring device now from backup....
After restoration installation of cabs - Unsuccessful. Must be sometime in the registry/system?
My question - what did we do in common to get this problem?
Today I swapped SIM cards with another AT&T phone and then put the original one back. I also ran the JumpSPL1.56KAIS on the device but reset at the tri-color screen due to a lack of time.

It is very frusterating as I dont know what to do. Any since I cant load any programs like pocket mechanics I dont know what else to do. Backups didnt help and I know the ones I had a month back showed the programs listed in the Remove Programs tool. THERE MUST BE A REG HACK THAT WILL FIX THIS! Anyone?
The last programs I installed before this happned was the Resco explorer.
Also I have a activesync issue that started about the same time which I have in another post.

I ended up hard resetting it again and am just re-installing everything.

Sprite Backup Problem

Ok so this morning I go to backup my phone since I haven't done it in 4 months. I open up the Sprite Backup program and set it to back up the phone. It restarts the phone (as usual) and begins the backup process on startup. Then, when it finishes, it restarts again but it won't boot up. It goes to a white error screen that says something along the lines of "A program with an unsigned cab has been installed" or something like that and says to "press the SEND button to reset the phone or any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all of your personal data and reset the phone to factory settings."
Uh-oh, I thought... So I hit another button because I don't want to lose all of my personal data. It stayed on the white AT&T screen with the R, G, and D numbers on the bottom right corner.
After resetting and taking out the battery and resetting again, nothing changed. So I popped the microSD card into my computer to see if SpriteBackup actually finished backing up the system. Hey! It was there, about 62MB in size and it was a whole file (no corruption), with today's date and the time that I backed it up. So I said, alright, let me just turn on the phone, press the SEND button to reset it, and then just restore the Backup file with SpriteBackup. I did it and it restored it, but after rebooting, the initial configuration screen for the phone kicks in again (the one that comes up when you first buy the phone) and it reinstalls the "stock" programs and settings.
Almost everything is back to normal, except:
I'm missing some contacts that I've added within the past 3 months.
I'm missing some text/MMS messages since May 19th...
In the "Remove Programs" windows, there are only 5 programs installed, the ones that come stock with the phone.
Does anyone know a solution? Or if there's a way to transfer my contacts/messages out of the SpriteBackup file to my computer, i might as well just wipe my phone clean, install an updated rom, and start from scratch.
All I need are all my contacts and my messages. Does anyone know where they are located?
Thanks in advance..

I have my backups on another PC so I can't give you step by step indications looking at the screen. If your backup was successful, I see two options:
1) on device: open Sprite Backup, select restore, on the backup selection screen check the folders you want to restore ("email", "personal databases" …) and restore
2) on PC with full Sprite Backup version: copy the backup file to the PC, open it on the PC with Sprite Explorer, select the folders/files to restore (I think contacts/appointments/tasks are under "Database/pim.vol" and text/MMS maybe under a "mail" folder). Good luck.

Out of the box, Sprite Bkup LOOP!
Hello,
First time user for Sprite Backup!
I tried to do a "Sprite Backup" to a 2 GB miniSD card, with "600 MB" FREE space on card, from ATT WM 6.1 on Kaiser loaded from "factory"" ROM and Radio.....loaded with Sprite Backup. Not an added software.
When asked to confirm placement of backup to SD card and Sprite will restart / reboot , YES OR NO I ticked YES.... Kaiser turned off.. Back on to ATT white splash screen ...Than....Windows Mobile Splash Screen (the GREEN one for WM6.1) . . . than shuts it off again.... turned back on ATT Splash screen than WM Green Screen... than shut off again....than on and off and off and on. I have to remove the battery to stop the LOOP!
SO now I can NOT get to WM, nor connect with ActiveSinc, nor do an Update, nor re-flash to original ROM from miniSD, nor work with Mitty.exe...
I either have the "Loop de Loop" or I can Camera plus ON/ off to Tri-screen with USB on screen.... but no re-flash ECT.....
I had a FULL battery with charger plugged in charging the Kaiser, so there was NO power interruption or power loss. And I did not have any time to interrupt the Sprite Backup.
Please HELP me restore my Kaiser, I am is desperate need of this for work....
PS I can not access the Kaiser to SEE what the Sprite Backup version it is in the ATT Ce 05.5.2.1620 (Build 18.125.0.4.2)
Rom 1.57.502.2 (with ATT Factory Upgrade to 6.1....
ALL FACTORY ATT ROM and Radio installed.
I didn't take Note of the Sprite version BEFORE the "Loop de Loop" happened.. Sorry I don't know the factory installed version?

FIXED!
Somehow with KAISERUNLOCKER dot exe ? But the prgm only made 2 out of the 3 steps so I didn't think it worked .... UNTIL....
I could Hard reset than run Att/Cingluar WWE updated ROM and everything worked. HOOOO RAH!
Sprite support didn't reply even after 5 DAYS!
Not even a "sorry to hear you are having problems"... ETC
So I wouldn't buy from them...... Buy and use at your own risk!
Hope that HELPS someone!
Later.....

Can not delete/ rename files through explore or on device. Unable to synchronize.

Heres a strange one.....
Just recently tried to sync my MDA Compact 4 and got the following error message:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
On investigating further, i tried the following suggestions:
- Turned off all firewalls
- Removed partnership between phone and pc (on both the phone and pc)
- Unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in USB to PC settings on the phone
- Reinstalled Activesync 4.5 (and also a tried a repair)
- Different USB cable and USB port (not using a USB hub)
- Several soft reboots
and finally tried a different PC just to see if i could get a guest partnership! Guess what? Same error message.
I am, however, able to explore the phone with activesync but only explore. I cant change file names, add files or delete.
On even further investigation, i've now also discovered that i cant delete/ rename files on the phone itself (using file explorer on either the device or internal storage). When i do, i get the following message:
"Cannot remove/ rename etc: Access is denied.
Be certain that the folder/file is not write-protected and is not currently in use"
(Even creating a new folder and then immediately trying to delete it gives the same error)
If i connect the phone to the PC as a disk drive though, i am able to delete files just fine. Add new files, rename them etc....without any problems.
This leads me to believe that the problem is with Windows Mobile!?!
Has anyone else experienced the same/ similar problem and figured out how to fix it? (Other than perform a HARD reset/ Clearing the storage)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE:
I found this on the Microsoft help forum.
Although it hasnt fixed my problem, it might help someone else who is having the same problem.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Also, i noticed that i am able to modify any DOCX or TXT file within Mobile Word (and even delete them) just not from File explorer on the device or Explore within ActiveSync.
Can anyone help???

Same problem with different model

You're not alone. I have HTC Touch Pro (ie. Raphael) with exactly the same problem and I've also already tried that "Word-solution" several times without any help. However I can synchronize with my exchance server via 3G. I can also add/remove/rename files if I use some of the Office mobile applications, but not with file explorer.
Getting sooooo frustrated, but still not willing to do the hard reset.

Do both of you by any chance have Fsecure Mobile installed? Just trying to narrow the cause for the problem.

Same Problem Here
I have a T-Mobile Wing and I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone figure out whats up yet? It's so strange that I can delete/remove files and folders through active sync, but I can't through the device file explorer. I have also tried creating a folder with the file explorer, but then I cant delete, move or rename it.

Here's something that might work for you, http://www.24hsoftware.com/How-To/this-device-is-restricted-from-downloading-this-file-type.html
Unfortunately it hasn't work on any devices that I've seen but then again, I'm still thinking that F-secure mobile is causing the problems in our devices. F-secure has confirmed that they have heard about the problem and are investigating it.

This is very interesting as in the past 24 hours my Xperia X1 has started to do the same, I can create files ok but am unable to remove/copy files.
I am using f-secure mobile security, so it would seem there is an issue there. I'll fire an email to them to get myself on a fix list when it comes out if that's the problem!!

Any news on this issue?
I am using a trial version of F-secure mobile (on my SE Xperia, a sort of HTC ). Now, out of the blue I am experiencing similar problems:
- not able to connect to pc via Active Sync
- not able to delete/rename/copy files on both internal as external memory
- programlist appears empty
Did anyone try to remove F-secure to solve the problem?
Thanks.

I just got a reply from F-secure. They have identified the problem and are expecting to release a new version of the client within next two weeks.
Hopefully that's the end of this...

Updated client was published on last friday.

I am experiencing a very similar problem on my HTC HD2 with wm6.5. If I connect the phone as USB mass storage i can copy files as much as I want to on the SD card, however when I disconnect the cable after copying WM6.5 cant read the folder sometimes.
Othertimes when I connect the phone as Activesync and start to copy some files, it stops half way through, sayign "access is denied". if that happens I cant transfer any files anymore, it will always give same error until some time passes, few disconnections, restarts, no consistency, no definite workaround. The strange is when it gets into this "access is denied" mode I can still browse the device (storage card) and create and delete folders. very-very frustrating.... did a few soft and hard resets, reinstalled activesync couple of times, still no joy...and i dont have any FW app on my device...
thanks.

Microsoft Update KB958639 causes reboot loop

last thing i attempted to install via ActiveSync is the Microsoft WM Update - KB958639
now my kaiser is rebooting after i enter the startup pin password.
it doesnt seem to have installed the update. it loads the today screen with manila 2d and then begins the cab install process but then resets. it keeps doing this.
i can still sync with outlook/active sync, access files via the PC, etc. if i dont put in my password on the phone to unlock it...
i tried to delete the update from the \windows\appmgr directory but it tells me access denied.
any other way i can remove these files or stop the installer from loading during the next reset? i'm lookin into a reg location that it might have startup entries for this sorta thing...
ok nm, i solved it. the ActiveSync add/remove programs tool allowed me to uncheck the app from install. was weird, cus before it was already uncheck.... oh well all is well
