Hi everyone,
I tried to overwrite WM6 pim.vol with my previous WM5 pim.vol to keep all PIM data. But then I couldn't open my Contact list anymore. New SMSs also don't match phone record anymore.
I tried not to overwrite pim.vol file but used Spb Backup instead, no luck
Anyone experience the same problem?
same boat
i tried the same thing ended up renameing the pim to something random and reseting so the phone restores the blank pim then resynced lost pics and ring tone associations but at least it works. i am goin gto keep loooking for some way to get it working.
WM6 is pretty sweet so far
The pim.vol of WM6 is slightly different from the pim.vol of WM5.

Hi guys,
I am urgently seeking a help.
After upgrading/flashing to PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap ROM, I am unable to restore PIM (contacts and calendar) information. I use Spb Backup for backing up. Though I was able to restore E-Mail (e-mail + SMS) from the same file. If I try to restore PIM info, I get some db error message and on top of that even cellular network is unavailable.
It seems that there is some difference in db structure for AKU 3.0 and 3.0.1 featured in the above ROM. I did though try to launch the file on my older WM2k3SE device but with no luck.
The issue is that I do not even have all the contacts and calendar on my Outlook (on the desktop), and as you can guess I am sitting empty with hundreds on contacts and calendar items lying in the backup file.
1. Is there anyone here to whom I can send the backup .exe file (created using Spb Backup app), so that he can launch it on his Artemis and then sync with clean Outlook and then export 2 files in .pst format (one for contacts and the other for calendar)
2. Or is there any other way to recover this information from the backup file that I have.
Someones assistance is required, as I am stuck. I will be highly thankful for any help.
The problem has been resolved thanks to user RAMBO29 here.
Well, few other gave me some tips as well .... tnx to them, too.
has anyone tried to restore WM5 data to WM6 using Sprite Backup (Backup software bundled with dopod D810). I'm just hoping restore my contact, connection setting and messages I assume you can't restore installed software. If this is not possible does anyone know how to transfer contact, connection setting and messaging information to WM6?
Thanks for any info
anybody has any info on restoring data from WM5 to WM6?
when going from one ROM to another ROM, i will NEVER restore from a backup. i made the mistake one time and will never do it again. in my opinion, it's best to start from scratch and reinstall 3rd party apps.
I upgraded to WM6 last week and everything is working well EXCEPT that I cant create a new Contact to my SIM or memory.
Anybody facing this issue? Any recommendation??
Thanks.

Are you saying that you don't have the "soft" left button labeled New or it doesn't allow you to save new contacts?
Hi there PGMMA,
I can click the 'New' button but when I click the 'Save' button, the contact was not saved.
I have also tried from Phone. When I click Menu-Save to Contacts, I click <New Contact>, fill the name and save, but the contact is not saved.
No such problem before the upgrade.
Thanks
Did you copy file PIM form you old rom to new rom?
Hi xtraart,
Yes, the PIM was backed up using SPB Backup in WM5 and restored to WM6. Hmmm, that may be one of the reason...
Thanks.
Same problem experienced with the restoration of a Spb WM5 backup with the upgrade option after upgrading to WM6.
Solved the problem by saving the contacts to PC first by syncing with a PC, hard resetting PPC, then save the fresh and clean pim.vol file under My Device to somewhere, restore the Spb backup, replace the restored pim.vol with the clean pim.vol, and re-sync with the PC to get all contacts back. Then it works normally.
I managed to solve the problem thanks to solitary.
I did a PIM Backup using PIMBackup, Hard Reset, Reinstall without PIM and reinstall PIM using PIMBackup.
Thanks all...
Hi guys!
My baby (device) was acting strange and slow after an uninstallation that never ended and I had to do a soft reset. Then two days later on reboot it just stoped on the Windows Mobile logo screen (the one after the colored strips, I have WM5) and nothing else!
The phone led was blinking so I thought it was really screwed. I softreseted and made a "Registry Hive Clean". I leaved the storage because I have so many data on the PIM not yet synchronized (don't have office yet)....
So my question is: There's any way to save the PIM part and do a complet hard reset and reinstall all and restore that saved PIM data?
Thank you very much!
.vol files
I'm answering part of my own post:
To save the PIM data, I think I have to save the file PIM.vol and, in my case that I have Pocket Informant, also the file pocketinformant.vol
What I don't know is if afterwards I would be able to restore that file when I make a "hard reset".
More help would be greatly appreciated.
plisssss
Has anyone successfully backed up and restored on a WM6.1 ROM (Bepe's kitchen, Tom's or Meschle's ROM's)
When I try on my cooked ROM (using Bepe's Kitchen - thanks Bepe, great tool!) using SPB backup I get the messages in the log file during backup:
2008-02-12 12:45:52 Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:12 Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".
2008-02-12 12:50:15 Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".
When using sprite backup I get prompted to restore in upgrade mode and it fails to restore my PIM and other databases.
Have I done something wrong in cooking my ROM? or are other people seeing this too. Any thoughts on this would be most welcome.
Thanks.
Matt.
No you haven't done anything wrong. The files above are related to PIM and SMS which are not backed up properly by SPB or Sprite' Backup applications on WM6+
I always use PIM Backup 2.5 additionaly to the above just to backup the PIM data.

Carty..
Thanks Carty, have you managed to perform a full restore using both SPB backup (or sprite) and PIM Backup and still keep the activesync state so that all of the exchange data is not re-downloaded ?
