Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on these forums and I'm surprised I haven't done so quicker because these forums have done much to help me out in regards to my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000.
My question is: I just did a hard reset on my phone and I've managed to back up everything on the phone so that I could restore it. Everything has been restored as I hoped, except for messages.
I managed to get Samsung Kies to work for my Samsung Galaxy S [if you need help getting it to work I may be able to help you] and I created a back up of my Contacts, Calendar, Memos and Messages. The first three have worked perfectly and I have been able to transfer the saved data from Kies back onto the phone with one click.
Unfortunately, messages seemingly cannot be transferred. I have the .SME file but there is no option on Kies to transfer the messages to the phone. Is there no way to do this? My messages are really important to me and now I can no longer access them on my phone.
Thank you sooo much in advance for any help you can render!
P.S. If you need help fixing Samsung Kies, just leave a reply or Private Message me, whatever you like.
P.P.S. Sorry about forgetting to put a thread title. I'm not sure how I can change it.

You're talking about the title?
Hmm
Bump! I desperately need help with this!
I have exactly the same problem
This is really strange.. I tried nearly everything but couldn't restore my messages
@MSoud: Have you found an answer? Thanks for sharing
Also need help with this problem
Spoken to several (hundred) people and there is currently absolutely no way to restore messages saved through Kies.
Unfortunately, the messages are lost... forever
ever
ever
ever.
Well not 'ever' per se; you can still access them using the Kies program, but who is going to do that? I've seen my grandmother get up from a bucket seat quicker than it loads.

Hi I posted this in the wrong section earlier (sorry!):
Hi all,
I'm new at posting here so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I usually come here for answers to my G1 questions but have never needed to post before (yes, I'm a lurker).
Basically, after drunkenly failing to pattern unlock my phone, I pressed 'forgot pattern' and was brought to the Gmail sign in/unlock screen.
The problem is that it keeps saying my username or password are invalid but they're not!
I checked by logging into gmail on my PC and nothing has changed.
I tried 'username', '[email protected]' and [email protected]' to no avail.
I have a UK model and have rooted it using Jesusfreke's RC8 then the update to RC9 using Moussam's root app.
I don't really want to have to wipe my phone but will do so if necessary; I was just hoping someone could tell me why its not accepting my details!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan
EDIT: I have since tried changing my gmail password and associating other email addressed with my account but using these details makes no difference.
P.S. Edit: I'm wondering; if I hard reset, given that I don't have the JF build on my SD card anymore, what will happen?
Have you verified that you do infact have your APN account activated ? So that you have the dataplan active...
I'm sorry, you will have to treat me like an idiot and spell things out for me.
I don't know what an APN is. My data plan is unlimited, I've never had any problems with the phone (except that after rooting every app seems to force close if used for more than 3 mins), all I did was get the pattern lock wrong. I can still recieve texts (but not read them) and can still get calls.
I can connect the phone to my (win 200) PC and boot up into fastboot or recovery but haven't got a clue where to go from there....

Just google for adbwin.zip instead of downloading the entire sdk in step 1.
I looked at that thread and further down found a link to another thread from someone who had the exact same problem as me.
He tried everything (including Haykuro's pattern defeat) but nothing worked.
I guess I'll just wibe and reflash! Pain in the arse but I've been on this all day trying to find a way around it and I probably could have reflashed and reinstalled everything twice by now!
Sorry if I caught you a tad bit late....
Did you try signing in without the @gmail.com? I've never logged into my phone with that. I just simply use my user name without anything afterward

It doesn't matter anyway; all three should work.
Hard reset?

I've been locked out of my phone this way and had a very hard time getting back in.
The solution, for me, was to use [email protected] and obviously your correct password. Neither the username or [email protected] would work for me.
This worked for me, so again, check that you've typed the correct username with @googlemail.com and make sure you type your password carefully.
I'm having problems sending messages in my gmail. I have no problem reviving but when I try to send my messages r stuck in the out box no matter how many times I refresh my gmail. I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem and found a solution. I would like to fix this without a wipe and reflash.

Tried rebooting? How about wifi?
Yup tried revolting any I get the same problem whit or without WiFi.
Did you find a solution? I realised this morning, that I can't send mails through Gmail from my G1 anymore. Already tried rebooting, but that didn't solve it. I got no wifi at hand, but will test this evening and post my findings then.
Don't mind it. Just found a solution myself. Just cleared Gmail Apps' data and everything is back to normal. Perhaps that will work for you too, if you did not find a solution yet.
Yep,
I had a problem with sending and updating what was new and was unread on the website. Clearing the gmail storage and the other gmail email cache fixed it right up.
Clearing the gmail storage/data worked for me as well but the solution only worked for a day and then I had to do it again. I will have to see how long it lasts this time around. Does anyone know the reason why this is occurring? While the above is technically a solution, it appears to only be a quick fix. If we can figure out what is causing the problem then it won't happen again.
I can tell you that it happened to me for the first time when I upgraded from Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.8. I downgraded and still had the problem and that's when I cleared the storage. I really don't think it had anything to do with the upgrade/downgrade especially since I used a Nandroid restore which put a stable version back on my phone.
Just my 2 cents.
Well, somewhere I read that this happened to someone after updating / installating an app using the send intent. I am not sure whether it was at that time I updated Bluex, but it may be.
I dwnloaded bluex a lil ago maybe that might be it I'm going to unistall and see
Maybe, but I have to say that I only had those problems once and they did not reoccur for me.
Also I did not have that problem when running the official ROM. But I only had Bluex for a short while on the official, because receiving files made me root my phone.
Any updates on this issue? I don't have Bluex, fyi. However, I occasionally have this problem, and only clearing the Gmail storage fixes it... for a short time anyway. It's very frustrating, considering this is a Google phone and that's my primary email. I need to be able to send my emails quickly without having to constantly clear the storage...especially since I have 75+ mb free on the device and hundreds of mb free on my ext3 partition. As best as I can tell, this also affects synchronizing with Google's servers (obviously)... so if I delete an email on my phone or pc, it doesn't show that change on the other device.
can someone please help? i recently bought a used tilt ii (HTC 8925) and have had several recurring problems since.
1) for some reason the phone seems to delete/lose my contacts. initially i manually entered contacts until i discovered active sync. after it lost those contacts the first time i copied contacts from my outlook phonebook (over 200) on my laptop. within a few days it lost those as well.
i figured this might have happened (somehow) after unsuccessfully attempting to delete some apps (mainly some games which i don't like); install new apps ( an RPN calc & updated version of S2U2) modifying existing layout using the Chome editor app.
so after the third time of losing contacts & reinstalling using active sync from outlook, i decided NOT to install/delete or change any apps. last nite i modified some contacts assigning several to different categories. woke up this morning & voila! all contacts are lost except for 6.. WTF???
what is causing this phone to lose contacts like this??
2) i have set pass word lock on my phone seems to work fine for a few days then suddenly it no longer recognizes my password. That is my situation now. & again it has happened before. i think i ended up powering down phone, removing sim card for a several minutes then rebooting.
what is causing this?
3) lastly my active sync program often does not work. it will not recognize my phone. & then when i make changes to get it to recognize the phone ( deleting the device & then adding it back), it won't recognize the settings for my outloook server. what is going wrong with this that i have to keep redoing this after so many days?
4) how do i do a system restore on this phone. i have searched for this as well with little luck on HOW to actually do this on the phone.
i hope these issues & questions make sense. lawd knows i sure can't make sense of what is going on with this phone. & yes i have searched on the forums for these issues & can't find full answers to the problems i have collectively.
my phone has WM 6.5 professional, ROM version: TPC_V11 Mega WWE; radio version 1.70.19.09, HTC touchflo (which i don't use);
Thanks,
kahlil
Ready the sticky/tutorial at the beginning of the forum - the instructions to flash original shipped ROM are in there. You have the same ROM I do.. it works great!
thanks beatlefan i will check there again. that was the first place i looked when i got the phone, but don't recall seeing solutions to the problems i'm getting now. maybe i overlooked?

It sounds like something going on with the way you have ActiveSync configured. Make sure you have enabled the calendar and contact update box when you set it up. You also might try running the sync a couple of times.
I Might be wrong but since you have a custom rom you might want to try flashing a stock rom and then reflashing the same custom rom, cuz sometimes it fixes strange issues like these. Hope that helps.

Thanks elander... i'm a rookie at this, how do i go about flashing the roms?
hi guys
my phone is bricked from the update to 2.2.
i cannot get the phone into the download mode; so i guess i just have to get it into service.
what info can be recovered there?
it's not that i need to recover anything (fortunately) ... but, to be honest, the phone has logging info for my email accounts, emails, notes, stuff i wouldn't really want to share
can this be recovered by a specialist?
thank u!
did you use kies to update if you did its still under warrenty
used kies, i don't think there is going to be a problem getting the phone fixed.
was just asking if the guys in service could get to the data stored in the phone
i have emails, passwords, stuff i would prefer not to be recevered by someone else!
if it's fully bricked, then there is no way to format the phone to remove your personal info
the guys at the service center with their JTAG machines could recover those files when they fix the phone.
most time they wouldn't care, the'll just go ahead and flash a new ROM and wipe everything
but there is always the chance of an evil tech lurking around to seek for personal info to use for whatever devils plans they have in mind.
thank you allgamer
thought so ... that's why i kept trying to restart it.
tried bunch of button combinations, but i'm not able to put it in download mode
Alright lads, and I guess lasses as well...
First of all an apology, its threads like this one I'm writing which I know annoy everybody, heck its annoying me i'm writing it but I just can't figure out whats going on.
So heres my issue,
Used to have a galaxy note, loved it. Was stolen, so am now in possesion of a friends old galaxy S1. Turned it on, hated it, tried to flash darkys rom. Had it sweet, loved it. Issue was, my contacts obviously got deleted. Easy I thought, i'll just connect to Kies and sync from Microsoft Outlook... Nope, realised MTPApplication.apk or whatever it is get deleted. Then went through getting darkyota to reinstall it. Did so, still no luck with kies, (at this point ill make it clear that I had debugging off). So tried to flash to another rom, that ****ed up, so flashed back to darkys went through everything again and still no luck connecting to Kies. I really wouldn't give a **** but I just need my contacts. I have to many business conctacts and stuff. It's kind of important... So my game plan, unless someone can explain to me how I can get my contacts onto the phone without kies im thinking of attempting to flash back to original.... Sync all contacts, sync it with google. Flash back to darkys, and use google contacts??
Issue, I can't find the approriate files to use in Odin. Aaaaand i get confused with the CSC... Im in Australia if that helps.
Again, apologise guys, im tired as **** and at the stage where the screen is just moulding into one big grey blob.
Any help is appreciated...

OK, Kies doesn't work with any custom ROM, only with original Samsung Firmware. Sooooo, I guess you'll need to
