I have a vx6600 which I believe is a Blue Angel. It recently crashed and when I went to restore my backup I get the error message .. Restore could not copy the following file(s) to the device. To correct this error, close any programs on your device that may have these files locked and then press Retry. The most important things that it is not restoring are the contacts and calendar. I had this one other time and had to do a very long work around to get the contacts/schedule back on. Any ideas on how to correct this??
Same here
solution
hiya mate
you know why you crash ???
it's because you gave to stop all running processes before you do a backup.
and you also have to stop all running processes before you restore.
try it .... you can fly ... not crash :shock:
I have the same trouble, I will try doing a backup and then restore and see. Thanks.

Hey All.
With all the great roms out of late it seems all i am doing is flashing my poor little JasJam.
The only anoying thing about it is that i can't seem to see any way to restore stuff like game and program save states.
Just as an example Pocket Informate losses all its contact photo links and you have to go back and relink them all. Another is a game call Tennis Addict where I can't seem to get it to go back to a previous save state.
I have even tried taking a copy of the directory of the game before the flash, then reinstalling it and copying the directory over the top and still no luck.
Is there a seperate place on the phone that this info is stored in.
Or is there a restore these programs after Flashing.
Cheers and Beers.
The only restoring I have been able to do is the entire restore. You just have to make sure you keep track of what backups go to what ROMS. You cant restore an LVSW backup onto a Black ROM. You flash the ROM to what OS it belongs to and then restore the backup.
Nice thought...I haven't ever heard of an app like that for Windows Mobile platform, but I used them for my old razr, slvr, and v3i back in the day...
Try backing up pim.vol and pocketinformant.vol

Where are these files located? I'm working on an application to solve these problems for myself and just uploaded the early beta here...
Settings Savior v0.1
All it does so far is backup and restore registry settings, but files are my next thought. Then possible assisting with application installs.
Thanks,
Rob
Yea i didn't think there was any magic fix for this.
I just had having to start things all over again.
Especially when you have spent hours playing one game.
Cheers

Good idea Let me know how it goes.
I've had good luck with Sprite Software's SpriteBackup. If you do a full backup, do a hard-reset, then run a special program, it will snapshot the "default" state of your phone. Flash the new ROM, and run the restore program (from SD) -- it won't try to restore anything from the old rom onto the new ROM, but it will restore your programs and almost all settings. Check the FAQ on their site, and carefully read and follow the instructions exactly.
Make absolutely sure you have encryption turned OFF before you do the backup, or your backup file will be encrypted -- and your hard reset will blow the key away (and you won't be able to restore!).
I wouldn't try this between different ROMs, like LVSW->Black/etc... but I've had great results from Black 1.0 -> Black 2.0 -> Black 2.5 -> Black 3.
Oh -- make sure you delete your ActiveSync relationships (delete each component separately so it removes all 'synced' contacts, emails, etc, then delete the server), and delete any IMAP and POP3 email accounts BEFORE you do the backup. If you're using IMAP or Exchange, the phone will repull the info from the servers when you restore (just recreate your mail accounts).. if you're using POP3.. well... get your ISP to support IMAP - you'll be happier with it.
Hello All...
I've searched high and low, googled till my finger tips are worn. I did a complete backup of my At&t tilt using the included sprite backup software, after clearing the storage and reinstalling WM6.1 I attempted to restore "email" and "pim" via my backup. Roughly 2 hours passed till the restore finished, but when I attempted to access my messages the message folder will not open. I tried restoring the complete backup and that didn't work (still no messages), I tried everything seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529023. I cannot seem to get my messages back even though the cemail.vol file is intact. Is there anything I can do? I need help!
P.S. - when I try to do a backup using PIMBackup 2.8 after restoring everything via sprite, PIMBackup tells me that no messages were found.
i bet ur smss r gone, u should have used pimbackup in the first place.
anyway, look at the bright side... u r on a clean start now!! and really, whats the purpose of storing smss several days/weeks/months old?

hi, i need help restoring my backup in cwm 3.0.2.8.
The system partition restores fine but none of my apps or anything get restored. I've tried different versions of cwm and none of them have worked. I know i can just restore my apps with my backup or titanium but i shouldnt have to and i forgot to before i made the backup.
It doesnt even restore any if my contacts, texts, etc. It seems like its just restoring the rom with what ever mods and tweaks i had applied. This has happened with multiple roms so i reckon its a fault with cwm. Also when restoring just the data in cwm it doesnt say "Restore complete!"
Anybody got any suggestions?

How are you restoring your ROMs?
Your contacts should be backed up with your Google account.
They are backed up but cwm should restore everything. After i restore it asks me to login to my google account, select my time-zone, etc.
Im restoring from recovery.
It seems like cwm is crashing while restoring my data partition because the screen goes black whilst still showing the rom manager icon and it goes back to the inital screen of recovery like i just booted into it.
Have you checked your SDcard for errors?
There are hundreds of people who use ClockworkMod Recovery without issue. (excusing 3.0.2.5)
Could be something as simple as a couple of bad sectors on your card.
I recently formatted it before i made the backup, how would i check for any more errors?
Try HERE. Its in Russian. So you'd need to visit via Google or use Chrome.
I downloaded but i dont have a clue how to use it
Read through the manual.
Or you could follow this guide HERE, I'm pretty certain that the first tool would be more accurate.
I tried the russian one but i got access denied so im doing the windows method. If none of this works, is there a way to manually extract the files from the .img file? I mainly want the data from my apps because i hav around 300
How are you connecting your SDcard to your computer? I just ran a test using ,
Code:
flashnul G: -T
It worked fine, that was connected via USB cable with the card mounted as a drive.
No problems which I'm pretty pleased with, now just to transfer my data back.
I forgot to run CMD as admin, its running now
EDIT: I didnt get any errors
If the SDcard is fine. Then I'd reflash CWM Recovery.
I have. The only reason I flashed .2.8 was because of this problem. I have to send my phone to HTC on monday for repair so when I get I back (20 days later) Il start again from fresh. For now I'm gonna unroot and s-on etc etc... I hate sense.
Thanks a million for your help though!
Question: If HTC swap my phone with another, will my backup still work with the new one?
Off topic, I point blank refused to wait 21 days + for a repair. After some wrangling got an exchange. Sadly the exchange handset had severe case misalignment issues. Refused that also.
Yes your backup will still work. It doesn't matter what handset you use. The backup isn't tied to it.
Haha the speaker for calls doesn't work anymore so i hav to send it back. 20 days is gnna seem like forever lol. I'm gnna hav to look for my Nokia 3310. It's like 10 years old and its never failed me once.
As for my back up, when I do get my phone back i need to go through my apps and delete what I don't want.....or I could buy a bigger mem card and setup A2SD. Is there no way to browse inside the data.img file from the backup?
My phone freaked out earlier today and after spending some time trying to recover it, I just had to wipe it and reinstall the ROM. Sad day, but no major harm done.
However, I have lost the data to some of my apps, which I would like to return. I have a Titanium backup from ~4 days ago which is fine for most, but some (games) I would like to recover my progress.
I've got a nandroid backup from when the phone wouldn't turn on (gets stuck on white 'HTC Evo 4G' screen), and I'm trying to use unyaffs.exe to pull out the file contents to grab the application data, but it's failing. It says "end of image" twice and then deletes the data (goes from ~400MB file to 0kB).
What am I doing wrong? Ideally I'd like to pull the specific application data from one nandroid and put it into the other, but I'm unsure how to do that. I tried using ext2explore.exe and that isn't working either.
tl;dr -- I want to extract some application data from a nandroid backup, but the unyaffs.exe approach isn't working. Help?
I have a very strange problem, im trying to be as clear as i can
every time after i do a normal reboot, when i open up whatsapp my message history appears to be corrupt. It then restores to the auto whatsapp backup made around 4.00 am. Since i am a heavy user of this program, this leaves me with lots of missing messages and pictures.
This happened when i updated to sebas's v5. Every time if i flash a rom, i make a backup with my backup root (without installing whatsapp from the market). This has worked always (i get every message and picture from the backup point), except for the last three rom switches (v5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1).
Ive already tried to delete whatsapp completely and then installing it original from the market, but this still leaves me with a corrupt message history after a normal reboot (with a hot reboot there a no problems).
So why dont you use a hot reboot instead ? Well because the camera (both 3.0 and 3.5) sebas is using keeps getting stuck after shooting a couple of photos, in which i have to pull out the battery and do a restart (ending up losing my message history). But this camera problem is an other subject
So if anyone could please help me with my whatrsapp problem, it is very annoying is a hardcore user.
I don't know the real answer to your problem..but ! Tonight I flashed the 5.1.2...had the same thing with whatsapp. Really everything else worked fine. Now flashed it on a other sd card ALL is fine. Strange ....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
just a suggestion, have no idea if it will work:
when whatsapp restores the messages take a titanium backup of it. then using titanium backup delete the whatsapp application, dont delete the backup data
delete (or rename so that you have a backup of what is there) whatsapp history folder from your sd card, reboot the phone
then from titanium backup restore app+data
again as i said im not sure if it will work so make sure you use backups if you dont wanna lose anything, especially the whatsapp history folder on the sd card
I also have to the same problem today Winesh.. tried everything using Titanium Backup by restoring files but it doesn't seem to work. I could try Hassand's method.
