So I reflashed yesterday, to Agent_47's Valkyrie rom. Like it so far, aside from the speed, but I have one problem. I am trying to restore all the information from a PIM Backup. While everything seemed to have restored okay, when I go to my contacts list, there is absolutely nothing in it. My call logs, and photo-attached contacts show in the call logs correctly, but absolutely nothing in the Contacts list. I also reformatted my computer recently, so getting my contacts via outlook is out of the question. Little help please
Thanks in advance,
Adam

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.

Same problem here.
Running:
-Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27__FIX
-JumpSPL1.56/hard SPL V1
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!

dear users!
My wife needs to hard reset her mobile, well ill do it for her obviously.
But we are worried about loosing sms messages and contacts.
On my Kaiser, I have used PIM Backup which splendidly backs up my sms and contacts (does not retain/restore pictures from mms )
Any way, PIM Backup does not work on 6.1 and she has not synced to a laptop, so no option of restoring from outlook, also useless coz she cant sync/send sms to outlook.
Any suggestions? I took a look at her sprite backup and it allows you to select what you want to restore, like My Documents and so on.
So any help please?
Thanks
PIM Backup does work on WM6.1. I use it all the time on my Diamond.
ohh , maybe the version I used ( I think 2.6) didnt work.
Ill give it a shot again.
Yes use PIMBackup version 2.8, worked very well..
Yes it worked!
Thanks
I purchased the full version of Sprite Backup (figured it'd be well worth it) so that I could backup my 6800 and transfer some of its data to my 6850. More specifically, I was hoping to pull the contacts, call history, and text messages over to the new phone.
The contacts came over with no fuss -- actually, they came over through ActiveSync, so there was no problem there at all. However, when I tried to restore PIM data using the 6800 backup, the phone tells me that "Sprite Backup Requires Authorization To Run". As you can imagine, this is a bit weird. I tried using "Personal Data Only" as well as "Merge Level 2" and came up with the same result both times.
I've only had the phone for about 6 hours and haven't started combing through the threads here to make necessary edits, so there's nothing I'd care about losing. How do I pull the text messages and call history from my old phone?
Thanks in advance for any and all help, and sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.
Edit: I'm using Version 6.5.2.102
Sqube,
Even Sprite shows it needs code but you can still use it as in evaluation period for 10 days, so you can go ahead with the software and restore the utility. But i suggest using PIM backup for contacts, task, and messages as that works better than Sprite backup.
Unfortunately, I can't. That's why I'm posting here. I've already purchased the software; it's just not letting me restore the information from my 6800 to my 6850.
If I had known that Sprite Backup was incapable of restoring that information across different phones, I never would have purchased it, especially since I was coming to an all new phone.
Thanks for the help anyway.
It should be capable of doing what your asking. Why haven't you contacted Sprite about this issue?
Quite frankly, I was hoping I could find an answer here because these forums are (a) better; (b) more populated; and (c) don't have random spam in every other thread.
hmmmm
i have had the same problem using sprite to restore from PC.
solved issue by re-installing sprite on PPC before executing the restore from the PC. hopefully this issue has already been solved for you.
cheers.
As far as I know, the problem is you are tryign to back up data from a HTC Mogul to a HTC Touch Pro.... It doesnt; work like that... Settings in diffrent versions of windows on diffrent devices just don't work.... But what SHOULD work for you is that new "Microsoft My Phone"... you can back up lost of those things you wanted up over that, and restore them on a diffrent phone.... Try that and let us know... then when it is setup how oyu want... THEN creatire you backup using sprite backup
thanks teej, i did manage to backup and restore my HD2 to and from the PC. had to tweak a couple of things though.
i did a full backup to PC (everything except storage card - contacts, emails, messages, all calendar data, system data and my documents).
i also did a PIM data backup (contacts, emails, messgages and all calendar data) to my devices storage card (luckily).
so i flashed to new ROM, hard reset a couple more times, then attempted a full restore from my PC. used sprites same device/new ROM restore setting (called 'merge mode 2' i think), and it restored everything except my personal data (so the full PC restore didnt restore contacts, emails, messgages and all calendar data). luckily i had the PIM data backup and was able to restore all PIM data from that.
so with the two backups combined... i had success.
although this wasnt as straight-forward as i feel backups and restores should be... it was MUCH better than the backups i had done with SPB (using SPB i have had corrupted backup files on multiple occasions - i definately recommend using Sprite Backup over SPB, and i havent tried Resco or Microsoft My Phone).
advice to anyone backing up.... create multiple backup files, so if one fails or is corrupted... there is a safety net.
cheers.
Hi,
As newbaby I need help regarding phone backup. I have currently PDACornerUltimate v13 and set up contacts, calendars, sms, mms, installed applications (some games, programs…), 5 mails setup, connection for 3G and MMS, specific sounds for contacts, alarms, calendar…
How to backup all these information and when install new version of rom to recover it? I know that pim backup application can restore contacts, calendar,sms, mms, but what application to use for restoring mails (servers, passwords…), connections, installed applications?
Thanks
Maybe SPB back up will work for you.

Hello pericaperica,
If you are wondering about a good program to back up installed programs and other information from one ROM/device and put it on another ROM/device, my advice to you is that you shouldn't. It is a real pain to do, I know, but to avoid real problems in the long run as I found out, you should just reinstall everything and re-enter everything. It is REALLY annoying and can take quite a while, but you will avoid potential registry errors, corrupt files, etc. I have tried a few of the backup programs that claim to allow restore after ROM upgrade, but none of them work like they claim to. Hope that helps,
Dave
Where can I find the original Dutch rom?
I've installed the Dutty NLD-version.
Everything worked okay, until I tried to put back all my contacts etc with SPB Backup.
Since then, I cannot enter my contacts, phone, Touchflow...
I've reset the ROM, but I still don't have my contacts...
Somehow it won't sync back with Vista, all my contacts are in Outlook too.
Can somebody help me get my contacts etc back?
