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.
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...
Hello evrybody,
First I want to congratulate Tom and forum users for the greate job that they did.
And I have a question.
Before installing the WM6 rom I made a backup of my contacts with SpbBackup.
After installing WM6 rom, I used the ".exe" backup to restore my contacts, ant it works fine.
But now I can't use Task and Calendar, it tells me that :
"The database for this application has been deleted or is corrupted. Restore the database from a backup."
I think that spbbackup did something wrong (mabie compatibilituy problem for this database between WM5 and WM6)
So my question is : Do anyone have an idea of how I can restore this database.
Thanks,
Pierro
SOLVED
Finally,
I made a new backup with PIMBackup, and install again the rom, and restore my contacts, and the calendar is ok now.

I had a different problem. After restoration I found only few SMS messages! Luckily, the contacts were all there.
p.s. Check your backup settings before execution; also check the size of the backup file to get an indication if it contains anything.
Good Luck.

Try to recover SMS only - that should put all of your SMS back - PIM Backup author said that in his thread.
Thanks KarhU,
I tried, alas; it did not work (197 records found in file... 0 message inserted in database...)

Otherwise, thanks for the great program.
This is indeed a bug, that has been fixed, but not yet released. Fortunately, there is a workaround for this problem with the actual version of pim backup.
The only thing to do during the restore of messages, is selecting only one account and do the restore.
So, for instance, if you want to restore your SMS, just select Text messages account and no other one and do the restore. If nothing is restored on the device it means that the account doesn't exist and should be created first.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Fred
This is the original message from dotfred, problem resembles that one of yours. Also the new version is available at his site. The message error should be fixed according to the changelog.

Are you using the same version of PimBackup...? I have had this problem only when using a different release... drove me nuts for about a week... I used v2.2 (I think) and then used v2.5 to restore and this is what I faced... used the earlier release and everything was fine.. Then used v2.5 to create a new backup and haven't had any probs since...
Thanks A Lot For Your Interest
Yes I Used The Sa%e Version Of Pim Nackup For Backup And Restore
But Nothing Found
When I Look In The File Conataining The Backup File With File Explorer It Appears But When I Want To Browse It With Pim Backup Nothing Appears
I Tried A New Backup And Change The Name Of The New With The Oldest But The Extension Is Still Unrecognized
Plz Help Me
Thanks A Lot For You
Thanks for the link KarhU.
In spite of using 2.5 to backup, using 2.6 to restore fixed it. I hope it will work for SETOUF.

If you encrypted the card and THEN flashed a new ROM you can not decrypt the file (because encryption keys are stored in main memory and get overwritten/deleted by the flash - and you should not be able to decrypt any other data on the card rendering them effectively lost). If you encrypted the card after flash you can try to decrypt it in the settings. If you sync your device with outlook you can get your contacts back. Otherwise there is nothing else on my mind. Sorry.
Thanks A Lot
Anyway Do You Know How To Crack An Aes128 Encryption ?
Brute force attack. Fast computer and tons of time (weeks to years depending on the passwork/key lenght). Do you have older backup, or backup on the desktop PC, or did you synchronize it with desktop outlook - that can get at least a part of your data back.

Greetings,
I just have a problem when I change the ROM on my Prophet PDA. I have made a backup of my PDA before changing the ROM using PIM Backup program. After I installed the new ROM and restore the backup, the messages (SMS) don't get restored and I guess that's because there is a different between SMS folder name in the old and new ROM. Newer ROM folder called "SMS / MMS" and the older one is called "Text Messages".
Any suggestion to resolve that?
Thanks,
Lumina2000
