WM6 can't input new appointment

Guys... maybe someone can help me..
After flashing my O2 Exec with WM6 (been try Midget,Vijay,Indra) all WM6 won't input new appointment....
Thanks before.

it works for me
did you have an error message ?

You have to make syncronisation trogh AS 4.5. You probably just make a copy of pim file. Pim file have diferent structure now.

I use push mail and it works fine

u know what? Same for me... then hard reset calendar ok.. BUT...when I install Tweaks and hacks... same thing wrong again!?!?!?
damn it Chloe!

tweaks and hacks does nothing to the calendar, also i use it with no problems

joder... I just unistall it reset and I have the same problem:
"The database for this application has been deleted or is corrupted. Restore the database from a backup"

After a rom upgrade, it never is wise to restore contacts etc from a backup. Synchronize a fresh set from your PC instead. I also use V1.1 and my contacts look fine.

activesync problem after upgrade to HELMI
Hi, should be nice if you can help me in this activesync problem after upgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291917
It's related to my computer, because my jasjar syncronize perfectly in any other pc, do you know if there is a maximum number of devices connected to a pc and how to delete previous one?

works fine now,
for some reason, it doesn't like to restore SPB Backup PIM...
thanks man

Try not to RESTORE for the following reasons,
1. Some apps may not be usable and may hang the phone or may some applications not working.
2. Contacts data format of WM5 AKU2 and WM5 AKU3 onwards are of different format. Restore in WM6, you will not be able to read your contacts.
But once you go to WM6, you have nothing to lose, if restore not successful, just hard reset and do the install all again.
By the way, SBH restore has an option to restore items selectively, right?

Retrieving contacts from a CORRUPTED PIM.VOL

Hi there, before upgrading to WM6, i wanted to sync my universal with outlook to have all the contacts and calendar entries backed up. Active sync showedsuccessful sync, but contacts didnt sync at all. after trying few more times, i thought i leave it, just copy PIM.VOL to sd, as i usualy do, upgrade, and then replace the clea PIM with the backed up one.
the problem started, when my backed up PIM seem to shrink in size as soon as i restart the device. contacts dont open a all. i tried the same pim vol on another universal, and the same problem appears. i simply cant get my contacts back.
what do you think it can be, coz to me it looks like a corrupted PIM.
i was trying to find some kind of PIM editor to get my contacts back, but wth no luck.
is there anything i can do, has any one know the way?

Not sure what your problem is.
But AKU3+ onward to Crossbow PIM.VOL is different from AKU2 PIM.VOL in the data format.

i think the rom he had installed was the original O2 one, so you recon flashing back to aku2 rom will let me see contacts again?

Moving PIM from WM5 to WM6?

This should be easy to search for.. and yes I did find the PIM Backup thread.. and yes I wish I had used it...
Note: I do NOT have Outlook sync as an option.. so I need/needed a way to do this without going via a PC.
So I tried 2 methods:
a) Database backup with Sprite Backup
b) copied pim.vol to my Storage Card
What I'm finding post-WM6-upgrade is that I can read my PIM data.. but I cannot create new PIM data (appts, contacts).
Do I have any practical way to recover (short of flashing back to WM5 and using PIM Backup?)
Thanks,
Mike

Confused.
AFAI understand, you seems to have backed up with Sprite Backup and copied the pim.vol. And you have flashed into WM6, now unable to get these info back.
If so, you may want to try the WM5 emulator (from M$) for the PC.

Try PIM-Backup??

Aye, I found PIMBackup... but does it do me any good in my current state... or do I need to go back to WM5 1st.. PIMBackup, then back to WM6?
Thanks!

Have you already flashed WM6 then i take it?

Yep. Held out all this time, watching the ROMs and finally thought it was worth the plunge.

The best thing you could do is start using exchange. Your PIM data is right there, all you do is sync once youve flashed and your contacts/calendar etc... is back on the device.
DeniaL's service is good, a $10 donation isnt much to ask for a good service especially with exchange 2007 (so you get HTML mail in WM6). Youl get push email aswell, if somebody emails you at (for example) [email protected] it instantly arrives at your device.

I do not want my personal PIM mixed into my work environment (which is my only PC). So I am mostly self-contained on the Hermes. Perhaps DeniaL's service would help me work around that... its a little beyond my knowledge scope (unix guy)
I use my work PC to install apps, and move things on/off the storage card. Not as convenient as it could be, but hopefully makes a little (if wacky) sense.
For the WM5 downgrade, I have the link to the "WM5 Downgrade guide v2".. could I cheat the steps by using ROM #3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302092 (since I was Cingular before, tho a slightly older version)?
Thanks,
Mike

I've been playing with PIMBackup... what I've found so far...
I can rename the WM6 compatible pim.vol to temp name and copy in my old pim.vol
PIMBackup will extract and save off the Appts and Tasks. I can see them with Verbose. It does not seem to be able to read the Contacts.
The WM6 contacts program also barfs.
PI2007 is able to read the contacts, but doesn't seem to have any way to backup/export.
Back to some more fiddling...

Contacts is shutting down automatically after Spb backup recovery

Hi,
I just flashed my Hermes to the Dopod WM6 ROM and performed an Spb backup recovery. Now my contacts do show up in the phone app, but my contacts app is shutting down immediatly after I start it up!
Anyone a solution?

Same Problem with contacts after SPB Backup!
I get the exact some problem... I don't know how to fix it, I can't even add contacts! I like new friends but not I can't even use my cool phone to get numbers anymore! Can anyone help me?

Solution to this problem!!!
Hey,
I've found a solution. The problem is that WM6 uses a completely different format to store contacts because of the tight messenger integration.
You can do 2 things to get your old contacts from your spb backup on your wm6 device:
1.) If you've got a second wm5 running device, load the spb backup on that device and sent them over to your wm6 running device through bluetooth or IR.
2.) Haven't got a spare wm5 device? Download the wm5 SDK including the wm5 emulator from Microsoft. Install the package on your desktop, reset your computer and run the emulator. You've now got WM5 running on your desktop pc! You can install cabs and also the spb recovery cab works fine. All your contacts will show up in the emulators contacts app. You can now manually copy the contacts to your wm6 phone (lotsa work!!! The way I did it...) or make a wm6 compatible backup on the emulator on your desktop and run it on your wm6 device. Sorry, but I can't advise you about which program you should use for that, but I know they exist!
Good luck!

Yeah, SBP doesn't play nice between rom changes...
Another option is this:
Download PIM backup from here. See attached.
Reflash your old rom, use SPB backup to get it back to the way it was.
Install PIM backup to your old rom, and backup.
Flash new rom, reinstall PIM backup, then restore.
Worked for me!
