is there a way to back up all the data from the phone to a computer, in the same way as myphone does, as ive got ****load of messages it takes like an hour to put them back on my phone. thankss
I didn't find any software like that so far... Please tell me if you will found it.
PIM backup can do this daily on memory card, but you must manually restore SMS or any other data... it is a matter of seconds
Thanks! will try it out when im gonna flash my phone next.

i have trouble syncing the device with my pc, and as a last resort, i thought to delete the partnership and start from scratch.
last time i ve done this, i lost all my contacts from the phone, and i want to back them up in case it happens again.
What program should i use?
PIMBackup
PIMBackup is the best option for use on pda imo. and it's free
thank you very much for the program. sadly the problem still exists, it tells me to reconnect the device and try again, and that doesnt do anything
Use sprite backup to keep everything safe, do a hard reset and then see if it's still doing the "reconnect thing"
I recently got a new XDA stellar which came with Sprite BAckup. Ive used it a few times but im currently encountering the following problem:-
On Monday evening i suddenly could not access my messages/ email. Pressing the dedicated button or going via the menu simply wouldnt open the section. Absolutly nothing else had any problems.
I keep regular PIM Bacups plus a weekly Sprite Backup so i wasnt too worried. Reset the device and happy days messages working again. I loaded in my last PIM backup and they all came back no problem. BUT after i re loaded my last Sprite BAckup (made on teh 4th July) i experienced the same problem. Several different attempts, resets, hard resets are still elaving me the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Thing is i have over 7000 messages that i need to have access to. I know if i go to the hassle i can load my backup, get any program reg codes and copy any files, but it seems a major hassle. Has anyone any suggestions what the problem may be?
Thanks
You must have made a change that affected your device and your backup is restoring the issue. Maybe go with a backup before the 4th.
I am wondering if there is any way to salvage my contacts. I formatted my computer and resync it and it deleted everything. Every other time I connected it before it would ask before or it would merge them.
I doubt there is a way but I would like to know if so.
do you have a backup of your phone that you can reload?
lost Contacts
Hello,
I had the same problem on older devices running WMobil 5.0 and 6.0
becauce i have syncroniced with 2 computers i got all back. so it is nessesary to make a contact backup in outlook for that case. anyway its good to have
IN OUTLOOK FILE/IMPORT and EXPORT/EXPORT TO A FILE/Personal Folder File/ Contacts/CHOOSE Lokation and Filename/finish ok
if you make that periodicly, so you can get old contacts back you allready erased.
Greetings
Michael
lost Contacts
and allways create backups on a separate made partition and put importend files also on external drives
No I do not have any backups. I figured between the phone and the PC that there was no reason for another backup. I never thought that active sync made for mobile phones would think it's ok to erase someones entire phone book and replace it with nothing. I think that is a serious design flaw it should have at least had a warning before it did it. Anyways I figured all was lost as soon as it happened. I found an old phone and got some of the contacts back but I lost everything that I added in the last year unless I have a saved txt msg which I only keep a weeks worth usually. O well SPB Backup is installed now Lesson learned.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Morning all,
I simply cannot believe my eyes! I soft reset my phone this morning because it got stuck and upon restart it deleted all my contacts and all my settings. I have lost allllll my contacts!!! I am soo annoyed!! aarrghhh!!!
I feel like breaking this phone right now!...
Ok calm down calm down!!...Right is there any way to bring my contacts and other settings back? I mean anything which can bring things back to normal. I don't want to loose my 300 contacts on it.
I am using Himalaya_21189WWE from Sun_dream ROM Date: 09/18/08
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Regards
hi . .
have you backup your PIM files?
usually before hard reset/change my rom
i've copy my PIM.vol to my storage card . .
so after finish i just copy paste the PIM.vol by using resco explorer and soft reset . .
but in your case i've no idea, it's just like got bad sector in your computer hard drive . . maybe using data recovery software help you . . (just 'lil idea)
a few days ago I've used Wm 6.5 21189 cooked by nuvoelegance nothing happen at first until 2 days ago all my Ramdisk files automatically erased . . maybe this is 21189 bugs . . now I'm using 21502cht so far no problem i've got (besides the language problem, coz I'm indonesian ).
Regards
no back ups here man, well i didnt think I'd need it as I was not planning to re-flash my rom. It just hard reset itself! I am so annoyed right now and cannot think how to bring back numbers other then asking people their numbers.
Regards
Sorry to hear that... the only way for you is to find a technician who will open your phone, take out the flash element and connect it to a custom-made flash reader that is connected to PC and then undelete the PIM file if you haven't overwritten that area on flash already
my condolences .. wow.. 300 contacts and never sync it to any computer and never back up the PIM file.. man, you're brave..
Do not press your finger too deep into the wound.
I'll think, it's nothing he is very proud of. I'm sorry for him, but I do not see any help. (than to weep)
This has happened to all of us before so we understand your pain. So the main lesson that we all have to learn is BACKUP YOUR DATA frequently even if you think everything is running ok. Even a simple application like PPCPimBackup is worth having in your phone. I setup mine to backup my contacts and schedules every day. Am sorry friend.
Often I sync my contacts with PC MS Outlook. Maybe you too would have some contacts in one of the PCs that you synced with. Worth a search there too..Just my tuppence.

Hi my HTC hd7 which until now has had no issues and is running on stock just recently went through a phase where it continually rebooted when i charged it. Then when I finally got it to turn on normally, there was a constant clicking sound coming from my speakers. I was also unable to place calls and texts would only send half the time. Since then the phone has refused to charge and when i plug it into a power source the charging light no longer turns on, meaning i can no longer use my phone. I first started talking to my girlfriend when i got the phone and for our 2 year anniversary i was going to create a book out of screenshots of our entire text thread, but apparently ive hit a very formidable roadblock.
Problem:
is there any way to restore my texts from the internal memory? from what ive read, it seems that the internal memory is stored on a microsim inside the phone. is there anyway to retrieve the conversation? Would it be possible to just buy a new HD7 and swap the old microsim onto the new one?
Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Theres so many memories and so much history in our texts i just cant bear to lose it. Thanks!

If your HD7 has a custom ROM you can use WP Backup to backup all the personal data and appdata from the phone to a computer and restore it when you flash a new rom, do a hard reset or migrate to a new phone (after you installed a custom rom)...
your only option now is to unlock it(you can find how here on XDA), and then use WP Backup.
Best luck.
I too have a HD7. It's running windows phone 7.10.8779.8 updated just before posting this message.
Anyway, as far as I know, it's not running a custom ROM, so am I able to use WP Backup?
I can't find anything in the market place, unless of course i'm being really stupid and not using the correct search term.
I've searched SMS Backup but get a list of apps that don't appear to be for backing up SMS texts.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Install Dynamics v2.0 and you can use WP Backup and SMS Backup, no problem.
And forget any stupid official ROM, they are only useful to create Custom ROMs... LOL!
Ok, what custom Rom do you recommend? I'm a relative newbie, so wouldn't mind a bit of advice
I have the same need. I have the standard/official 7.8 ROM and want to extract all my SMSs to a file (text or Word - including images would be nice, but not essential) by thread/contact before I upgrade to a WP8 handset. Many of these are official business communications, which I want to keep on file.
My understanding is that if the ROM is replaced, then all your data and settings are deleted, so the advice above from faustolg is not very helpful.
Is there a step by step approach please that can be followed to do what we want?

I think he means that if we install Dynamics v2, that will allow us to use SMS Backup. I believe his comment about custom ROMs is just his opinion on ROMs.
I could be wrong. Perhaps he'd be kind enough to clarify the matter.
Aaah yes, Dynamics 2 is a ROM, so not the answer I was hoping for.
Anyone recommend a way to back up my SMS data? I DON'T have a custom ROM installed.
Can anyone help? How do I back up my phone texts?
I don't have a custom ROM installed, just the standard HTC factory rubbish....and i'm starting to hate HTC...how can they agree to make the hardware for a crap OS?
