PPC Pim Backup Blank Contacts - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I made a backup with ppcpimbackup, but when i restore my contacts and synch with outlook I'm getting blank contacts... When i delete them i'm getting them back.
I can only solve the problem by doing a hard-reset to my phone and synch again without restoring from Pimbackup.
Hoe can a solve this problem without doing a hardreset?
regards,
Osman

Used xBackup on PDA2K and now contacts are GONE

This is strange....I used xBackup yesterday on my PDA2k (which took about 30 minutes) to backup to my SD card and a while later I went to look for a contact and all my contacts are gone. Everything else is there, just my contacts vanished. My backup file is 22mb. I tried a soft reset and that didn't help. My contacts are on my PC but this is a rather strange issue. I selected a system backup rather than a Contacts and Appt backup.
Does anyone know what file holds contacts so I can see the size? I haven't done a sync yet because I want to try to find out why this problem happened.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Help Required for PIM restoration

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.

Unable to create new Contact with WM6

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...

Duplicate entried in phone book

I recently restored data to my phone haveing re-flashed it. I used PIM Backup to restore a backup of phone numbers, calendar entries, appointments, logs etc etc. Then I synced my phone with my computer (of which I have outlook installed which has my full address book within the app).
Following the sync with outlook (and PIM backup), i now have 2 of every phonebook entry in my phone! arghhh! What can I do? I have about 200+ phonebook entries (thus 400+ now), so deleting the duplicates one by one is crazy.
Any help, software or advice guys? (and how can i stop this happening again should I reflash, re-restore and re-sync with outlook?)
Thanks.
from PIM backup delete all conacts then re-sync again if u have the contacs in outlook if u dont have then just after deleting them restore the backup
Where is the option to delete all contacts in PIM?
