Hey there.
I've had Kavana's rom for quite a while, but then I decided to go ahead and throw NRG's on there to try it out. Here is my problem: I backed up the contacts using the Sim Manager on Kavana's rom and upgraded. Well, NRG's rom doesn't have the Sim Manager on there so I couldn't load the contacts back (unless I'm blind; very possible).
Any ways to get the contacts back?
Thanks,
James

Good luck,
Thanks but that didn't help (unless I did something wrong, but I followed the directions from the post you directed).
My contacts are backed up into a file called "contactbackup.dcb" if that helps any.
Thanks

Look in the windows folder if Sim Manager is there. Normally it should be there. Let me now if you find the file and I sent you the shortcut who you can put in the start menu.
It's better to use the SMS backup,w hich is in the rom.

Place the .cab on phone and run, it will install and tell you to reboot after the reboot Dopod SIM Manager will be in the start menu.
lol facepalm.
When I see a file on my desktop lookin' like a rar (which in this case would be the .cab) I extract it.
No wonder.
I need to be slapped.
What do you do when the sim manager does not see your old backup file?
Phew, glad I found this post!
I reverted back to the AT&T Tilt ROM and I panicked when I couldn't get the phone contacts back (Around 210 ) Thanks for the help guys!
PPC PimBackup !

- Call Logs

I found this in another area of the xda-developers forums, thought it might be worth sharing here, as i havent seen it mentioned here yet, apparently you can use it without it clogging up your contacts with loads of emails. i will try it now,
I have also put a copy of this on my own server in case it goes walkies.

Hi guys,
just tried on Meschle's Touch 1.0 and after reboot my device didn't boot up,
i had to reset. But after reset i just installed (without making changes on my device) and it worked.
Maybe it's because i installed HTC Home 2.0.xxx ? I don't know...
It really works. Now when you setup your account you have the option to choose if you want to add the contacts to the phone-contacts. Great work ! That was worth to reset my device
Thanks a lot !
Thanks for this, I'll give it a try, was a right mess with all the contacts being added to my contact base on old version.
I tried this and got an error about "wlmsetup.exe is not a valid pocketpc application". Upon reboot WLM kept stating no Internet connectivity. I removed it and went to re-install. It now won't install at all and just comes up stating install was unsuccessful. I now have no WLM at all on my Orbit and hence have no e-mail.
I am hoping it can be easily solved without a hard-reset as can do without re-installing all my apps etc.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Wlm is better cooked in the rom - by cab install seems to slow device down. My new rom has this cooked in but an even newer build 10.6.31.2600!
Tested. You get tick box to say if you want to merge your contacts. I decide not to merge my contacts – naturally. Works fine on my Oribit - WM6.
didn’t notice a slowing down. But I am using P4.1 touch.
Thanks joey jojo
This ain't 10.6.0031.1600
I have downloaded several versions which intend to be 31.1600 but after installing it says it is version: 10.6.0030.2100
Does this also work on the Hermes?

Hi guys, I have a bit of a problem. Its really annoying. I confugured my yahoo and gmail e-mails on my trinity and it was working fine for a few days. Just this morning i noticed that I'm not getting any e-mail notifications which is a bit odd because I normaly get 15-20 e-mails a day. When I checked messaging, all my pop email configurations was gone! I don't know what happened. Anyone had the same problem before? Please do advise. Cheers.

radio v. 1.38xxxxxx
Just found a site saying that it is a problem on trinity when it crashes.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Is this a cab file? What does it exactly do? Cheers again
That software can find you account back, and after you input the email infos to that software(pop3,smtp,password...), it will try to recover your account everytime you reset.
or you can try the rom i modified from Karmba_a's rom, or others rom noted with "old xip",these roms wont lost account.

unzip it first.after that
if there is a cab, then install it and find shortcut from your startmenu to run it.
end
else
if it is a folder or files, then copy it into anywhere of your main memorydont put it into your sd card),and run the exe file. you 'll be fine.
end
'and by the way, try to update hard-spl, hah.
Thanks. Does this e-mail problem also happens to other HTC devices?
What is the easiest way to get all of my settings contacts and e-mail settings back on my phone after I do a Rom upgrade?
use a backup utility before you re flash
Will a back up remember all the programs and contacts and mail settings?
I'm by no means an expert, but it was my impression that it was not a good idea to restore a backup onto a new rom. Things are not necesarily in the same place and it can cause problems. That being said i don't really know of any solutions for you.
Haven't tried it yet, but the new Spb Backup v2.0 will restore data between upgrades, don't know about each setting though. On the other hand, if it saves all registry settings and certain files (i.e. ".ini") then everything should be the same.
if you're installing another ROM, you'll do best by reinstalling all your programs. this will ensure that the programs work with the newly installed ROM. i use MS Outlook to backup contacts... backing up email settings depends on what you use for email; if you're using a POP3 account, i suggest you reenter them.... in my opinion, using backup software to reinstall your programs, settings, etc., is risky and may cause unexpected issues. good luck!

Spb Backup has been incredibly buggy for me on my Telus Touch... does it work well for anyone else?
It freezes unless I do this: back up my documents only, turn off the option to create an exe and don't use encryption.

so,on the telus touch,have you tried the rom upgrade and used spb backup to restore?

Alright, I've been able to use Spb Backup now, and it is great! You can restore on a different ROM or device!
spb back up and rom update
this may sound dumb,but ive never used spb backup(ive just downloaded it) do you install to device ,or to storage card.If installed to device,after rom update,i would need to reinstall then do a restore,correct?

Not dumb, there are always questions when you install new software. But, this is another great feature of Spb Backup, it creates self-extracting restore files, with an option to create a copy of the software as well. So install it to your main memory, and have the files kept on your card. Whenever you need to restore, just run the file, you don't even need the app installed. Also includes a desktop sync app.
Rom update
Thanks for the speedy reply,I'm just looking now for any issues doing Rom update with vista 64(Telus tech said there should be no problem,but I've yet to get the same response twice from them)Ok i hope this new update is worth the sweat!

No prob, almost forgot to mention, after restoring the data, your PC will recognize it as it did before. I really like this feature, thought all my data was going to be duplicated.
Hi everyone,
I recently updated the ROM on my S621 to the EVO Win 6.5 ([ROM][EXCA][WWE][* 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM6.5 STD 23004][Build 3VO.2.00.071809] )
Anyways, before flashing the device I used SIM manager to backup all phone contacts to my sd card as well as all the SIM contacts to sd card. This resulted in 2 backup files which are Simbackup.dsb & phonebackup.dcb.
When I go into SIM manager to import the backups, I can't. There is no option to do so. Am I missing something? Also, both file extensions are not recognized by windows, not the phone or my desktop. A google search also did not bring back any info on what program I can open these files with.
Can anyone shed some light on how i can retrieve the contacts in these 2 files or how to import them back somehow?
Dopod SIM Manager 1.4.36.365
Hope that helps
it worked! perfect! thanks so much. Looks like Sim manager wasn't included in the latest 3vo rom?
thanks so much again!!

Hello Friends,
I've recently lost my HTC windows mobile phone, and along with it I've also lost all my phone contacts.
I have a backup of my contact in my PC as a DSB file, I know that i could use the dopod sim manager.cab file to restore my contacts, but the point is I don't have a windows phone to restore it.
Any help on restoring the contact in Windows - 7 Environment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
it took me days to find this thread, but its definately worth it cos i had the same problem and it works perfect
First, I'd like to thank everyone in this forum for making our phones more awesome than they already are, you guys know who you are. I've been lurking around since I got 6.1, but now I have a very annoying issues that I'm trying to fix.
I created a backup of all my phone's (not sim) contacts with 6.1 before updating to 6.5. However, I realized that same menu with the Backup/Restore functions has completely changed and does not offer the Restore function anymore. So now I'm stuck with a .dcb file that I can't restore, or open up in any other program, as far as I'm aware. Besides the obvious option of getting someone with 6.1, opening the file there and making a backup to my sim card directly, is there anyway that I restore that file, or at least open it up somehow?
Thanks in advance.
See if you can install this?
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient file permissions."
Nope, can't get past that message.

Thought that may happen it's strange as installs on PPC's with 6.5.
Whoops, disregard my previous post, a soft reset got rid of the problem. Installed, recovered the backup, everything's working perfect now. Thanks a lot dude!!
Saving contacts.....
I`m not sure if this is the same subject,but my sister-in-law wants me to upgrade her rom(she seen mine with 3VO and she freaked out.she wants it bad.......the rom that is.)...well,shes got over 100 contacts on the device.Not one on her sim card.How can i save all her contacts all at once before flashing?Thanks for listening.
I sync all my contacts to Outlook and resync my phone after flashing. Makes it easy and is one of the reasons I am now a Windows mobile addict
