WM 2005 - Where is my storage folder

Hi
I'm searching archive and can found it.
I've upgraded to wm2005 and my folder 'storage' has gone off. I've see in settings/memory that i have 61mb of storage but where the folder is, i can't see it in explorer.
And second, where is function 'permament save', how can i put back my contacts into a device (i've backuped it on my pc before upgrade)
please help
regards

You dont have a storage folder with WM5
You have a my documnets and that should be were you can store files, check the properties of that and you should find your 60mb. (most other folders are the same)

backup before rom upgrade

Is there a way to backup everything before upgrade the rom so I dont have to reload all apps and settings?

Spb Backup?

is there a crack for it

Don't !!!
When I used a backup manager, I totally messed up my ROM.
I didn't pass it's bootscreen anymore, and ended up bringing it to a store to restore the ROM, because I couldn't syns it anymore with ActiveSync.
Just manually back up your files and settings!

RE
So what are the steps to manually backup settings, & voice speed dial

You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.

Thank you

so the pim.vol is where the contacts are stored? nice..
would it be smarter to copy to sim card ?
I tried copying the pim.vol but it tells me that the file is in use? how do i back it up?

You have to use total commander or gsfinder (must haves and both free, i prefer gsfinder) on the device to do it. When you reset you have to rename pim.vol to say pim.vo and them copy and paste it from your storage card.

The problem wasn't so much that you tried to restore a backup, the problem was that you tried to restore a FULL backup. If you had used a backup manager that allowed custom restorations from the backup file then you would've been able to restore just the files without also restoring the registry keys and settings which is probably what killed your phone.

[Urgent, f'd up situation] Where is contacts and messages located?

Here's my problem: I used PIMbackup to backup my data before flashing but stupidly I saved the PIM file on the root of storage card so yeah it's lost after flashing. I've tried recovering it with a software but couldn't find the PIM file.
But maybe there's some hope: I also copied all of the files and folders from my phone before flashing. You know, folders like My Windows Mobile-Based Mobile, Business, etc. Do they contain data for my contacts and messages? If yes, where? Thanks.

problems solved for contacts. it's in the file called pim.vol now how about recovering messages?

[Q] File system location of bookmarks

Hi guys
does anyone know where on the Galaxy the internet bookmarks are stored for the standard browser?
The reason I am asking is because I upgraded my ROM after doing a Titanium backup as well as copying the whole of my internal and external sd cards.
Now I want to put the bookmarks back on but cant find them on the sd cards and Titanium Backup wont restore them.

anyone????

it'll probably be on sqlite not file system
sqlite = db

Awesome thanks!
now I guess the next question would be - Can we View/Edit/Export SQLite so that I can copy the bookmarks off or at least see the URL's?

[Q] Backup contacts and send it to samsung note 2

Hi.
I make a backup of all contacts i have in my samsung galaxy s plus and i send it from bluetoooth to the samsung galaxy note 2 and now i DON'T find anywhere at note2 the vcf file to restore the contacts of galaxy s plus.
Can anyone tell me where it stores the contacts vcf file the note2?
Already search at the bluetooth folder but the file it isn't here.
When i send the file and press propetries to this file it show me inbox\transfers but i don't find anywhere that folder and even with es explorer program i make a complete search for vcf file and didn't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help me and tell me where else i search or to what name store the contacts backup file the galaxy s plus?
The note2 isn't rooted it is with original 4.1.1 android version.
please tell me a way to find out this contact backup file where it is stored at note2 so i can restore the contacts to the galaxy s plus.
It doesn't make a backup at gmail account i was syncronize the galaxy s plus so the only solution is to find that file.
A LOT OF THANKS.

The vcf file has to be in the SD card. Transfering a file via Bluetooth allows the file to be in a folder somewhere else. Find a way to transfer it and still know where it is located.
Send it to the GMail and retrieve it. It will be on the downloads folder. Drag it out from the folder.

But EXACTLY that is the problem I DON'T know to which folder at note2 is send the vcf file.
And from the s plus there isn't anything at all because i do factory defaults so.....
If i know where it send the vcf contacts file at the note2 then i know what i do but the fact is I DON'T KNOW TO WICH FOLDER IS SEND THE VCF FILE OF CONTACTS(galaxy s plus) so....
How i find out(search) for that vcf file to entire note2?
If i connected to a pc like a memory device(flash disk) and not like mobile and search it from pc does i have any success or not?

You might have more luck finding it with your computer. Since you have cleared your galaxy s plus, you can only hope your Bluetooth transfer got through.
Since you said it can't be found on your Bluetooth folder, you might have failed the Bluetooth transfer.
Vcf file is stored in the SD card. Have you formatted your SD card too when you clean your galaxy s? You could have just reuse the SD card in your galaxy s.
If you don't use any SD card. It may still be in your internal SD as long as you did not format your SD when you factory reset.

At the note 2 i don't have delete anything at all.
At the galaxy s plus i have delete all with factory defaults option.
Neither of these two mobiles has external sd card.
As already tallied when i send the contact file i see it at the note2 status bar but i don't know to what folder is stored the file.
At bluetooth folder there isn't any that file.
How it name the vcf backup file the samsung galaxy s plus?
Maybe 00001.vcf

Yes it would be named as something like that. Your Galaxy S plus's internal sd may still have the vcf file. Check it out there. Or connect your note 2 to our computer and run a thorough search.
Factory data reset will not clear your internal SD. Only your apps. Files and folders are still intact unless you chose to reformat the SD in settings. So double check your Galaxy S plus's internal SD for the vcf file.
