Hello everyone
Last night i decided to flash the new Evolution Ultimate ROM from jagan2. The ROM is great, super fast and stable (thnx allot jagan2). Before i did that i installed Sprite Backup software on my Touch Viva, and backed up my files.
The problem occurred when i wanted to restore the backup to my newly installed ROM. The backup process started, then a restart was needed, but then the screen freezed at the boot loading screen, not even continuing to the screen with the orange background and Windows logo on it.
So i tried to manually restore my contacts and message files (the Sprite software comes with a Sprite Explorer, so i could extract these files from my backup), but i just cant find the root folders for contacts and messaging in the Windows folder on my phone, so i could copy my contacts and messages...
Any ideas?

sprite backup does it all. use later versions, 2.1.2 can corrupt message file
Hi everyone,
I have an AT&T Tilt and decided to play with ROM upgrading yesterday. Before I did anything, I backed everything up using the included Sprite Backup utility.
Played with a couple of WM6.1 ROMs, liked some things but not others... to make a long story short, I re-installed the original WM6.0 ROM, did a restore with Sprite and all is good, everything restored fine - except all my SMS's are gone! Why? Using Sprite Explorer, I opened the cemail.vol database from the latest backup in Notepad and from what I can decipher from the snippets of text understandable to humans, my text messages are still in there. Copied that cemail file onto the device, SMS account still blank. What should I do?! Please help.
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
Did a backup and restore of all my information with the V2.8 PIMBackup program many times before successfully. However, this time when I tried to restore, the program froze, I had to pull the battery out of the Tilt to do anything. When I rebooted the phone and looked at backup file, the .pib was changed to 4 files: .pbd, .pbe, .pbe, .pbt. Now the restore function does not recognize these backup files. How can I get everything zipped back up so I can get to my backed up info?
Got a problem, could anybody please make any sense?
I had 19k sms messages on my SGS+ and I backed them up with SMS Backup & Restore. Everything went fine. Now, after flashing my device to Ultragen v1.7 Rom, I am not able to restore my messages back. When I try to restore, it shows progress screen approx. to 125/15453 and then suddenly disappears. And I am like what the heck?
The same story with Titanium backup, it does not even starts to restoring xml file.
After that I was looking forward to restore sms&mms from nandroid backup, but the fact is, following tutorial about flashing Ultragen v1.7 ROM there was a stupid point of formating card, so my nandroid backup was destroyed.
What's wrong?
Problem solved. Restoring sms from .xml file completly in one row was not possible in one or another way. But restoring manually one by one each thread was possible via SMS Backup & Restore simply "viewing" backuped file and then restoring every thread.
Maybe this helps for somebody.
