Hello to all
I just upgrated my O2 Xda mini S to the latest K-Jam rom (no network customisations), it now runs much faster that ever and it seems stable enough apart from one problem:
After restoring my messages and contacts using Sunnysoft Backup Manager i cant open my text messages anymore. I can still see them in the inbox as if nothing was wrong, but cant get them to open. If i move them from the inbox i can open them again. but i would rather keep them all there. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
After flashing WM6 to a HTC Artemis i have the same problem. I used PIM Backup version 2.1 for the backup and restore. Rom is PdaViet Black&Blue v2.
Is this a known problem? Can anyone point me to a solution?
Thanx!
I got the same problem when I upgraded from XDA to XDA Release 2. So found it interesting that you are experiencing the same but on a different ROM! So could this be a bug overlooked in the ROMs?
I'm about to downgrade the ROM and see what I come up with on the other side and then try to upgrade again.
not sure...but i think i read somewhere that pim backup can't be restored across roms as well...at least it was a major problem in the days of wm5 when we were playing with aku 3 roms from faria and molski. backups are better throughs syncing with outlook.
try reflashing the original that you backuped from and see if you can restore everything without a problem...
I finnally found a way out. Better to flash back to the original ROM before you try another one. That way, its stable and can restore messages. I still use PIM Backup for my stuff and I think its the best so far, as it can handle my needs.
Hope it helps

Dont restore the databases.
i used SPB Backup 1.6.1 and HTC WM 6.1..all fine, nothing happen, and still using it til now..
I tried to backup running from my TyTN II with Leo and Hyperdragon IIm latest rom but it will freeze. When I tried running from desktop, I managed to backup for Hyperdragon IIm but have not tried on Leo's latest Diamond V6 rom.
When I had the latest WWE shipping rom, it runs without any problem. Could even do a restore.
I havne't had any issue with SPB's latest backup software. ROM in sig but I guess it's a 6.1 hybrid
no problems here with the new 2.0 version.
i'm using the official 6.1 htc rom and everything works like it should be
Use Sprite Backup instead.
Hello,
I also had problems with my official HTC WM6.1 ROM, someone has reported the problem in the SPB Forum, so it's seems to be an issue with WM6.1..
I found the Sprite Backup 6.2 Program in e-Club HTC, installed and It works quite well...
See this post:

I had a problem restoring a backup I created on UDK WM6.1 to L26 WM6.1. It would crash when I tried to do the restore.
I've found that if I use the latest SPB Backup 2.0 I can now do the restore.
I load it up
choose 'restore backup'
choose your backup .exe file
customise the restore
go to 'options'
untick 'stop processes' and 'create log files'
This may help when creating backups. I think the 'stop processes' bit is the key. I think SPB backup is trying to stop some system processes and can't so hangs.
Hope this helps.

I was haved the same problem. After try many, many software backup the only one work fine was Resco backup v 1.20 (but isn't best than SPB Backup).
I have the same problem.What can I do?
Same problem here: Spb freezes 90% of times during backup.
re:
For me, version 2.0 working great...
Oh, so I'm not the only one...
I already signalled this in Leo's V6 thread (I believe, the guy is spewing new ROMs faster than I can press F5...); my SPB Bkp 1.6.3 PL (don't remember the exact build #) hangs right after pressing the button. I was told that unchecking "close all processes" should do the trick as the program apparently tries to close itself... Duh. If it does that, it's dumber than a box of hammers.
However, I could not be arsed because I have tried Resco Backup 1.20 since and found that it worked great. Very fast, too. WAY faster than SPB 1.6.
Resco may not be as sexy as the new SPB 2.0, but hey, it's a backup program for crying out loud, it can have a text console for all I care Besides, it's really quite nice and easy on the eyes.
I have a german Kaiser here, removed simlock with the tools from this site.
2 Questions:
After Updating to WM 6.1, will the simlock be still gone, or do I have to unlock the phone again.
Is the update worth it ? Htc tells on their site, that all stored data will be lost (ok i have to do a backup), but will WM 6.1 bring so much improvements that i should take the work ?

Not sure about the Stock HTC ROM, but I am using The Lone Ranger's (TLR 6.1) and love it.. I would do it. BTW the sprite backup will not restore a 6.0 ROM to 6.1 ROM.
So there is no way to backup my data first and restore it to 6.1 ? Then i wont do it, too much calender entrys, contacts, etc. installed.
Edit: Sprite Backup Homepage says that it is possible to restore after a rom upgrade:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=349&back=search.aspx?
i don't think i've seen anywhere that someone has succesfully restored a back up after upgrading, spb back up has a force restore after rom upgrade but i've never tried it personally, for me i would rather start clean and not risk any file corruption or problems right from the start.
I used a freeware app called PPC Pim Backup, it dosen't update your settings or files like Sprite Backup does, but it does backup all of your contacts, text messages, appointments, just about everything that would sync with outlook and a few things that don't.
I was able to use a backup created when my Tilt was at Wm 6.0 and successfully restore it to after I had reflashed my phone to WM 6.1.
The only downside was the first time I opened my inbox, I had to wait about 10-15 minutes or so for WM 6.1 to thread every single text message I had ever receieved or sent, but after that it worked fine.
Thanks for the tip with pim backup. worked great and the simlock is still gone after the update.
I wish I wouldve known about pim backup before I updated. anybody have a link to the 6.0 rom, so I can go back and start over?

Yes it does, I have restored all my contacts. mails, texts and diary when I went from WM6.0 to WM6.1 using Sprite backup, with no fuss at all.

How would you restore just data files?
sounds like he only restored files that sync, not reg hacks or system files, settings.
I'm new to this, but I ran Sprite backup on Q-Mobile 1.2, intending to upgrade to a WM 6.1 ROM. I tried a couple of WM 6.1 ROMs (Romeos 4.5.3, Garmin DK.3 Final, Dutty's NO4, and Virtual Vista 2.10), and was able to get my SMS messages, contacts and all that good stuff, but was unable to get my MMS messages.
Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I didn't poke around too much, but when I reloaded the Q-Mobile ROM back on, and ran the Sprite restore program, all of my SMS and MMS messages showed back up. I suppose it has something to do with the SMS/MMS directory structure in the WM 6.1 ROMs that I was trying out, but don't really know.
Just my .02. If someone knows what's going on, I'd be very appreciative if they could clue me in. Thanks
So is everyone talking about the AT&T WM6.1 ROM update from HTC from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
If so, has anyone had any issues with it with how it works? Any issues with the radio, etc? I downloaded but have not upgraded my Tilt yet.
Thanks

Does PIM Backup back up texts generated with the stock 6.1 threaded-text app?
Sounds like a handy little util if so.
I suggest SPB backup. It is available from their website and the trial version has five free runs of backup.
I used it and restored all reg edits, dta, programs, mail, three email a/c's, contacts et al. It would freeze up and not restore *anything* at all the first few times but then I unchecked the 'stop all processes prior to backing up' in the advanced menu dialog before proceeding with the backup and it did the job.
I recommend creating a stand alone restorer so that you don't have to install SPB backup again on the 6.1 rom.
I went from a stock 6.0 unbranded to a stock 6.1 off the HTC website. Waiting on my warranty to legally expire in Feb before I start flashing my phone to other roms.

If it's just calendar and contacts that you are worried about, surely after you synchronize with a laptop or desktop those details will be stored with ms outlook.
So after you do an upgrade, if you synchronize your phone again with laptop/desktop you will get those contacts and calendar entries back again.
Programs and files installed is another story.
hookup activesync, transfer /root/pim.vol to your desktop..
install 6.1 rom..
boot into windows.. rename the current pim.vol (on your phone) to pim1.vol. Transfer the old pim.vol that you saved on your desktop onto your phone.
Reboot to phone to reveal all your contacts and call history restored.. simple and easy.
delete pim1.vol from your phone and bam your done!
YES, the official windows mobile 6.1 kaiser update is very worth updating IMO. Video drivers are much better.. switch views is easy.. moving around is much faster.
JEC
So I am taking it that this upgrade is worth the time to do then? Sounds like stability is better with this upgrade. Hopefully no other issues involved with it. I am still running the stock ROM from AT&T on my phone that came with it with WM6.0.
So upgrade would be good with this then?
Thanks

What is the fastest rom?
hi all,
I'm just getting bored with my WinMo6.0 rom, wanna try some of the exciting WinMo6.1 roms out there, but I don't want to lose any SMS and contacts.
Will the "PIM Backup 2.8" help me backup all my SMS and contacts from my current WinMo6.0 rom and restore them back to the new WinMo6.1 rom (I think i will try the ROMeOS v4.5.3 first)?
thanks in advance!
Yes my friend, it will
it will but if you have so much messages it WON'T
or rather it will but it will get stucked because...
in wm 6 its normal mode and in wm 6.1 its Threaded
so the solution is to disable threaded mode in wm 6.1 before you restore
BTW your phone will run slow after the restore so soft reset.. not by stylus clicks but by powering off device and reboot

Hey guys.
I have a mysterious issue with my HD.
After flashing Dutty's WM 6.5 R8 Turbo ROM the problems appeared.
The freshly flashed and installed ROM works with all programs and changes for approximately 1 week. After this period (without reboot!) suddenly all contacts are gone, all pictures are gone from the album and the SD card is inacessible (like this thread: Thread), today there was just a bug that a notification was repeated 95 times instead of the supposed 1 time, once it just froze.
When you try a reboot, the booting will take a lot of time just to show the WinMo start screen. At this point the boot process gets stuck and you have to hard reset to get back access to your device.
In today's case with the small bug it endep up worse: Instead of trying to boot the system automatically did a hard reset! Fortunately there were no important data on my phone.
First I assumed that this was caused by the SD-TuneUp driver by tyynt. But after hard reseting under Dutty 6.5 R8 T for the third time I didn't install this driver and guess what: 1 week later it froze anyway and made a hard reset necessary.
After this ROM I tried Dutty's 6.5 R12 Revised with the same result. As mentioned, the device performed an automatic hard-reset today. Now I'm back on WM 6.1 HD V4.1 Final to if this is ROM dependent or not.
Do you guys have any idea what's causing this? It's pretty annoying to reconfigure your HD every week

it might be due to a bad flash.
try flashing the same rom again or flash another rom..
see if the prob still contiues..
most probably it wll not..
I have thesame problem with duty's latest roms (R9,R12)
After a few days it gets very slow. So slow i have to do a soft reset. But then the device loads very slow, it dont shows the htc animation. After a few minutes (1 or 2) it gets stuck at the orange windows mobile 6.5 loading screen.
Somethimes it does automatically a hard reset after the soft reset. All messages, appointments, contacts are gone. Only time and date are restored. Sometimes it does absolutely nothing, it just freezes at the orange screen, even after a few soft resets. In this case I have to do a hard reset. With dutty R9 mostly the freezes occured, sometimes automatically a hard reset. With dutty R12 most of the time (3 times so far) It does automatically a hard reset.
So I have to restore everything 1 or 2 times a week with pim backup. Does someone have an possible explanation?

I had the same Problem after flashing from Dutty's WM6.5 R5 to R6. I tried Flashing back to R5 but the same thing happened.
I resolved it by up flashing the HTC stock ROM, and then R6 again. Now on R12 and haven't seen the problem since. No idea what it could be though.
I've had the same problem. Flash a stock rom like ManiGo says and than you can flash one of Dutty's rom. Worked for me. Good Luck.
The problem doesn't appear to be directly related to the rom as countless others have used Throys roms with no such issues. As Svenvdmeer stated above, the general solution which appears to have worked for all would be to restore stcok rom and then follow guidelines to flash Throys rom again.
Alright, I'm going to try that and one week later we will see if it worked for me, too
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Is there a certain stock rom you would recommend? Otherwise I would just flash one of those provided by Dutty.
Edit²: Could be an indication for a bad flash that all WM6.5 ROMs I tried were noticeably slower and not that smooth in (e.g.) TF3D in comparison to 6.1 ROMs?
Its weird, today i had the problem with dutty's R2 (great rom )
I will try soon to flash a stock rom.
Had the same problems with the first 6.5 roms. Thought that the problem was a CAB I installed (SMS extension from Dutty). Flashed back to 6.1 (not a stock, but a Dutty ROM) and after a while I tried out a other 6.5 ROM and didn't had the problem since then. Still didn't know if it was the CAB or just a 'random' other problem.
This time the WM6.1 is still the most popular choice
try NOT to sync your contact with any of the server after initalizing your machine. (You may restore contact and disconnect all sync service)
Test it for a week and see if it goes right.
I only use PIM Backup, I never updated with a server with Winmob 6.5. Only with 6.1 I updated to my gmail and hotmail server, but that 1.5 months ago.
Similar problem for me with me.
Dutty's WM 6.5 R9 Turbo
Radio 1.14.
It freezes at least 5 -6 times a day.....driving me nuts! It's a shame cause I like the start menu so much more than on Dutty's 6.1 ROM.
I'm flashing Energy's ROM as I type this. Hope it's as good as other peeps say.
I'm sorry for probably being dumb but where do I find a WinMo 6.5 stock ROM?
Searched this forum and got everything about ROM's but one single stock ROM.
The official ROM's by Dutty seem to be based on 6.1 as well.

So then the already given advices were in vain? Or did I get something wrong about the meaning of a stock rom?
I guess the best solution would be that people who already solved this problem will post which ROM's they exactly used for stock-reflashing.
Thank you

None of them are 6.5 ofcourse.
I think im pretty screwed then. My usb-port doesnt work anymore. I already bought a new cable, used different pc's, different roms, settings but it just don't work. I think its a hardware failure. So i flash my Roms with the micro sd card method (copy blacimg.nbh to card).
But to flash a stock rom, i need a stock spl. And as far as I know you must have a working usb connection.
Well it doesn't have to be a stock rom to fix it but i think that's te safest choice. I (accidentaly) fixed it by trying some of Miri's rom (because i had trouble with dutty) after a couple of roms from miri's i tried a dutty rom again and it worked.
