Please use the backup you created for times like this.
hi,
if you don't have a backup of your contacts, i think that nothing you can do. PPCPimBackup is a good tool for backup your phone.
also untick contacts from Activesync on your phone & pc so it won't happen again

Starting from scratch again?
Thanks

programs/applications/PIM backup
this program takes a backup of sms, mms, email, contacts, outlook etc etc...
this prog is installed on the new one too, to restore. But remember to save the backup to your memorycard..if not it will be gone when flashing the new
Yep start from scratch. Install cab via active sync so you just have to install from your pc makes it much eaiser if you have lots of stuff
Does Sprite Backup, backup your contacts? I'm not sure of your contacts are stored in the WM6 File system or not anyway. If Sprite Backup doesnt backup your contacts can anyone recommend a way of doing this as I have to many to store on the SIM card so i store them in the phone.
(I did search the forum for this but nothing of use came up)
Here is an easier method with no applications needed.
go to my device and copy the pim file using file explorer and when you do need to get your contacts back, simply copy the pim file back under my device.
If I flash my kaiser rom with a newer one will I lose my contacts, and just need to copy this file back or do my contacts remain untouched?
your contacts will remain the way it was when you copy it.
HUH? So i do need to back them up before I flash the rom or not?

Here is also a good idea. If you have Windows Outlook just sync your phone with that and it will place all of your contacts in outlook. That way when you flash to a ROM of your choice you will always have your contacts saved. That's what I do.

copy pim to storage card and paste it back to my device with your new rom flash.
yes, sprite does back-up your contacts if you specify in it's setting.
but for backing up just the contacts (as my fail-safe plan), i have always used a tiny app called PPCBackupContacts v1.6 authored by the great dotfred which can be found in this forum. it had always worked perfectly 100% each time. you can even select delete all contacts from it and restore the whole database again whenever you please to avoid duplicate contacts when restoring.
i hope this works for you too.

to avoid the shared file error. how do u paste back the copy of the pim file? Pim is locked whenever the phone is on and I can't delete it
I like PIM Backup as well. I use it not only to backup my contacts, but also my call history, ringtones, alarms, and various other custom files and folders. That way, when I flash a new ROM or do a hard reset, I just install my software and then use PIM Backup to restore all my customizations. It's great! And it'll do scheduled backups, so I get a nightly backup without even thinking about it.

Help, I was trying to fix my USB to connect to my computer and I was given advise to delete my partnership on my phone. Now all my contacts, calender dates, tasks are all gone. How can I recover it now?
I had sprite backup but the files I backed up turns out to be corrupted and I've deleted the previous backups.. am I able to recover that? I've tried using Data Doctor recovery and it only recovers data about 30 days from now..
Please help.. I really need the information back.

Deleting partnership shouldn't have deleted data from your PC. You should just be able to create another partnership and sync again.

That problem is that I can't connect to my PC, that's why I asked for advise on how to fix it and someone told me try to delete the partnership on my phone and PC to see if that worked and it didn't and I have nothing left..
Is there any other way like how windows xp has system restore?
I made the misstake and backup my phone with Sprite Backup to a .exe file instead of a .pbf file... Now I can't restore the files I need without a fully restore. This would not be good as I have upgraded the ROM.
Does anyone know how I can extract some files from this backup file (.exe)?
I have tried Sprite Explorer but it doesn't work.
Also, does anyone know if Sprite Backup backups SMS?
Edit:
Can answer myself... I made a FULL restore of my backup file and it seems to have restored the ROM? and also all the SMS and everything... So now I have installed Spb Backup and made backup of those files I want to backup...
Works fine for me... I can extract any file I like from my sprite (.exe) backup files using Sprite Explorer 6.2.2
Hi studtz,
Can you tell where did you find Sprite Explorer 6.2.2? I cannot find it anywhere on the net...I do have the same trouble to get my contacts from Sprite backup "exe" files with Sprite Explorer 1.0001.etc... I do need help on this...
Does anybody knows about it?

Hi,
I've made a backup using SPB on my MDA from T-Mobile (Diamond.)
Now, I've updated to Dutty ROM and everything works fine.
However, when I restore the backup from SPB (.exe) and do only restore PERSONAL DATA the device doesn't boot anymore. I must do a hard reset to make it boot again.
I only want to get my SMS. Contacts etc. is all in Outlook 2007.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Same problem here!
Same Explorer problem (.exe)
I'm about ready to run at Sprite Backup with a chainsaw. I just wanted to back up my contacts and now I can't sync them to my phone by themselves. The program always fails. Is there an alternative? Must I use ActiveSync to connect?
hello guys.
I changed my Rom on HTC Touch HD, and i run the spritebackup.exe .
My problem is that i dont see my contacts in the new Rom.
Furthermore I have the sprite explorer on my laptop, but i dont know where are the contacts, which saved on the backup.exe .
Could anyone help me to find the contacts in the sprite explorer ? Which is the tab(of sprite exlporer) including the contacts ?
thanks guys
I've flashed my radio ROM before, but I forgot if my text messages survived after it...
They won't survive the flash.
You either need to store them on the SIM or use PIM backup to back them up.
Moved to appropriate forum for better exposure.
PIM Backup is the best. Also read the guide on how to backup your pocket pc. Pretty useful before ROM flashing.

I second PIM Backup.
Just flashed a new rom 10 minutes ago (HDIII Dec 25 build), used PIM Backup, flashed, restored and all my text threads are back.
agreed pim back up saves all contacts task calander n messages to a file for restoring later just make sure you save on storage card and not phone as it will be wiped no doubt
The message conversations between you and your SIM contacts will remain but the message conversations between you and your outlook contacts will be deleted, at least thats how it is when I flash my ROMs
