I upgraded to WM6 yesterday, a few ours after italian update for my Artemis (HTC P3300) was published.
I thought to backup and then restore SMS, contacts and speeddials with PIM Backup 2.5 and after restore I realized that there are 2 speeddials to the position 1, that i can't remove normally.
Is there a way to fix it or the only way to do it is hard resetting the phone and then avoiding to restore speddials?

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.
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.

ROM Version : 3.00.707.17
Radio version : 1.46.00.11
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,
is it possible to restore a complete backup done on my P3600 wm5 on the same device upgraded with dopod wm6?
... the mosto important thing is the message database...the rest are apps that i can re-install again.
bye

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, isn't possible.
is it possible, that i can restore only the database (adresses) from WM5 to WM6?
Should be able to restore address book / contacts / documents / appointments / emails.
Just not system data/settings
But if you include those in your Sync settings just do a Sync before and after you upgrade. no need to do a restore.
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.
