The only help i can provide is on the last issue. Get a file manager like TotalCommander and copy the file localy (in the device). Then you can use ActiveSync to copy the file to your PC as the new copy won't be a system file any longer
WMPInfo.xml is probably Windows Media DRM information to compliment WMP10.
thx for replies - got new problem now:
i 'm flashing my device from last few days to see which WM6 will work best- i always use pim.vol file 2 restore my contacts (jsut copy it on root); while doing it 4th time, i came to strange issue; my contacts are not showing up ; i press contact buttons and it flash for a sec and then gone; although all of call history is showing up, but i cant see my contacts directory
ne idea y this might b happening?? i dont wana flash one more time just for this issue.
do i need pimvol.vol file along with pim.vol?? (although i always used jsut pim.vol and it showed me alll of my contacts)
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe, it's not a corrupt file but a difference in format. When moving from an AKU version to a higher you risk that. It's like wanting to use a word document from Office 97 in Office 2003 (without backwards compatibility)
It happened to me once when i moved from AKU 1.x to AKU 2

THANKS FRED_ I was about to post it that it's been resolved using your backup tool atlast (although it wasnt working in the beginning for some reason); although it was not that automated (means that contacts/log/appointments get backed up in separate file but hey!!!!! it works; and worked lke charm..even retained pics associated with contacts)
so thank you once again...for everyone replies and help;
~officially running crossbow now w/o ne error..or so they say ~
Yeah, thanks for the tip FRED . Now i know i can move on safely to AKU 3 whenever i need it
Anyone have the CAB Install for SMSBackup? I used it on my TYTN to backup my SMS and I need it to Restore on my new TYTN II.
Thanks in Advance
just download PIM Backup search Xda for it. It backs up everything including SMS and (MMS) I believe

Yes, but MMS only in separated folders.
If you have MMS 4.0 (HTC Official ROM have this one), then take the objects from your MMSs and put on the SD Card, so you don't loos.
Cheers
Found a version on the XDA FTP server HERE....dunno if it's the same one you used to do the backup with?? Give it a go, see what gives
@austinsnyc - the OP didn't ask "what's the best program for backup up contacts, SMS, etc"....they asked where they could find the program they had already used to do a backup in order that they could do a restore
@etijburg - the best "PIM" backup you'll get for nothing is the one that @austinsnyc mentioned; DotFred's PPCPimbackup, which you can get from HERE for future backups
Cheers,
Mark.

Hey guys,
Have decided to give my Diamond another whirl after falling out with my LG Renoir but am using a new laptop as the one with the active sync etc......... broke........ and I cant find the "get started" cd with everything on!!!
Anyone know if I can download the active sync etc from somewhere?
Its free from Microsoft
Dont suppose you have a link?
Sorry for being a pain in the backside.
Ohh found it. Thanks.
Is the back up program etc included in active sync?

No, since ActiveSync 4.0 there's no backup feature in ActiveSync! If youÄ're looking for Sprite Backup, it must be on a separate CD by HTC! But you could find it on HTC's website in the e-Club section, I think!

I had a look on the HTC site and when I put my serial number in it said my device is not suitable for this download!!???
Then you haven't an original HTC Touch Diamond!
Make a search through the whole Diamond section and you will find a proper serial number!
Ahh ok, will have look, Thanks!
I have downloaded PIMBackup but thats on the phone itself, do I have to backup the info to my PC if I want to do a ROM update??

If you don't sync with ActiveSync, it's better to do that for not to lose your PIM data (SMS, Mails, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks)!
I have downloaded Activesync and have it running and syncing ok.
Have also downloaded a trail version of Sprite Backup.
Would this be ok to do a ROM update? (or flash, whatever its called! lol)
If you only want to backup your contacts, messages, calendar and tasks, I think that PIM Backup 2.8 is all you really need for this job!
Back up them onto your Internal Storage, flash the desired ROM and import your data with PIM Backup again!

On htc's site e-club, they don't allow to download sprite backup, cause i tried, and site shows me message "you can't download this app" or something similarly, but originally rom i can download, maybe now sprite backup isn't free from their site...
If somebody need sprit backup 6.5 version, can pm me, and i'll send you...
Greetz
what are you guys using to transfer them over?
I used lookout. backed up my contacts then download lookout from the android market and restore.
There is an application called Sprite Migrate than you run on Windows Mobile, then convert on pc, then run on android.
However, I cannot find the latest version in the market... The link from the sprite site to download the apk is for an older version
Its on spritesoftware dot com
The version on the site downloads:
Sprite-Migrate-0.2.1.13.apk
I need version 0.3.0.17. How can I source this? I've posted a question on the sprite site, but nobody seems to help out there...
Thanks

If you have internet, this is the BEST way. It will preserve everything properly (pictures and a.ll)

That's pretty cool, wish I'd thought of that in the beginning. I originally just sync'd my contacts with Outlook, then exported them to a .csv file and imported that into gmail.

you could upload you contacts and such to google then sync it with your android vogue. that's the only other way i can think to do it.

I am trying to take backup on my windows device through Sprite Migrate but every time it says "An unexpected error occurs....". I am unable to do so. Any help??
I 've found a way. I was using classic message view. But after switching to the threaded view issues seems to be resolved.
Hi there,
I´m about to cry myself to bed tonight Just came home from vacation with my family and by accident I deleted the folder with ALL photos and videos I have taken..
So I have tried everything now to recover my files without any luck. I´m using a rooted HTC One (M7) with Trickdroid 5.6.0 and ClockworkMod 6.0.3.1. I found some recovery software for pc but the phone needs to be in USB mass storage mode in order for the recoverysoftware to work. But it is not possible to choose that mode in Trickdroid 5.6.
I triede to finde some UMS enabler on Playstore and also tried to use adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable without any luck. I get an /system/bin/sh: sdutil not found message and now I´m tired and out of ideas.
Do you guys know any solution or workaround on how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance.

Pierre

guess then there's no chance for you to get the pictures back (apart from really professional help, but this is expensive), because it seems that the data got already overwritten if these apps don't find anything...
