How to restore SMS after flashing?? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hello everyone,
Having a problem since flashing from stock WM 6.1 rom over to a 6.5 Rom like Mighty Rom.
Can't seem to restore my old sms text messages properly. Tried PIM Backup, SPB backup and Microsoft Myphone with no luck.
I mean they do actually restore the messages except they are scrambled and not in order by the correct date and time. This means when I go to view a threaded convo or use the manila "reply" option the previous text conversation is there but not in the order in which it was originally. This is unfortunately not much help.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue with flashing from 6.1 to 6.5 or not but if anyone knows a way to successfully do this it would be very appreciated.

Well apparently found a fix but didnt really fix it. Someone suggested restore the sms, turn off threaded sms, soft reset, turn it back on and soft reset again. That did resolve placing them in order when I click on "all messages" and in the text message inbox and threaded convo they are all in order.
My problem now lies in the manila sms threading. As in when you scroll to the sms tab, flick through messages and click on the screen and it takes you to a threaded convo showing you a small pic of that person and gives you the little text box on the bottom of the screen to enter a reply and you press "send" on the screen.
Anyway on that screen all previous messages are still scrambled. If anyone knows a fix please share!! Thanks!!

Same problem here. Hoping someone has a solution; it's not critical in any way, but annoying.

I restored with PIM backup after turning off Threaded messages. Then I turned on threaded messaes and the phone takes about 2 hours to sort 3000 SMS. I can see now threaded messages but also have the problem in Manila SMS's threading. New messages come in the right order but restored wont.
I think we need some kind of back up utility that restores messages one by one, from older to newer, both sent and received mixed up. Restore utility at PIM backup will restore Received messages then sent messages and thats why Manilla scrambles. Any idea?

CanĀ“t get text messages in my inbox

My inbox shows 6 messages, but once you clik to enter, it only shows 1K on the right side and nothing ever opens up, the rest of folders seem OK, even new ones. It is something that affects only SMS messages and that I could not repair by reinstalling the program.
Has anyone faced the same problem and found a solution? It is rather annoying when you are abroad, like I am now, not being able to read any of my text messages.
Thanks,

Slightly different I think, mine would show that I had new text messages but would not display them, the inbox would appear empty, I was using Sprite backup, and discovered that sometimes it would corrupt the mail database after a restore, so downloaded their cleanmail program.

It will all delete all email accounts, text messages and the MMS account but I don't use mms so not to bothered.
Thanks, will try, although it seems I will not be able to read some txt messages, but looks like the only option.
i never thought cleanmail is so useful.
after restoring from a hard reset, about 800+ messages got corrupt and showed up as 1kB messages that wouldnt ever open.
cleanmail trashed em all just like bubbles.
Thanks a lot! Once my text messages account disappered and it can only be fixed with hard reset. With this program i was able to restore from backup and fix the problem! Thanks again!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP
Hey! This cleanmail thing is fantastic!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP.
I don't know who I want to marry more - spritesoftware for coding the app or bluetba for giving the heads-up!

SMS app eats some texts

Does anyone else get this?
Sometimes, when I compose a text and press Send in the default TouchFlo app, nothing happens.
Other times, it turns out it has sent, but the message doesn't show in my Sent Items, nor does it appear on the TouchFlo app's thread.
Sometimes it works fine, the message appears in Sent and I've got a proper threaded view of the conversation.
Is there any fix to make it more consistent, or failing that, can I remove it and go back to the default WM 6.1 threaded SMS view?
sometimes when i send a message through touchflo i think it gone then i go into the windows messaging part and i get the message tellimg it couldnt be send
Yeah, I get that too. But if you forward it to the same number, it goes fine. Very weird.
I'm hoping this new ROM fixes it, but can't test it yet.
Nice to know it's not just me, anyway.

Recovering data, SMS issue

Hey guys, I have just tried doing a hard reset and recover using the built in backup. It restored my data perfectly after the hard reset, although now when I recieve messages, the message does not go under the correct conversation.
For example I already have a conversation with BOB and JANE. I get a sms from JANE, which shows up inside BOB's conversation.....
I installed handcent sms which I guess I will uninstall and see how it goes. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
So far the only way to resolve this in my experience was to delete ALL sms threads. All the sms I am now receiving are going to the correct conversations. What a stupid bug.
I just went into my gf's conversation on my phone, then sent a sms through it, it went to my boss....WTF? I get a sms back from him and it goes into my gf's conversation.....

Threaded text messages out of sync after restore

Ok, so I succumbed to hard resetting my device. Having restored my PIM data and texts from backup, I've noticed that in the HTC Manilla Messaging App is displaying my threaded SMS' incorrectly.
All of the restored SMS' are in the correct order but any new texts sent since the restore are being appended to the TOP of the thread, not the bottom.
All of this means that I have to scroll to the very top of the thread each time to see the latest set of texts. Madness.
Is anyone aware of how to fix this?
My TP2 is running stock WM 6.5 and Manilla 2.1
Many thanks.

Texts, my messages on top of conversation

I've searched for this, but can only find someone related topics for other phones/OSs.
I had to have my Touch Pro 2 (Sprint) replaced, so now I'm running WinMo6.5 with Sense UI 2.5.x. I backed up all my PIM data with PIMBackup (or whatever the program is called). Since I've gotten it, however, all of my text conversations are wonky.
In HTC's text manager, in any given conversation, all of my messages are at the top of the conversation, and all of the other person's messages are at the bottom This can make longer conversations, and past conversations very confusing.
Does anyone know of this error, or of a good fix for it? Thanks!
I've had the same issue before, after flashing a new ROM and enabling the HTC messaging before I restored my PIM file. Are you using a Stock or Custom ROM? If custom, there is a good chance you have Arcsoft messaging installed (if not, you can download it - just search XDA for a cab).
I would delete all messages, enable/install Arcsoft messaging, soft-reset, then restore your messages from your PIM backup file. That may not fix it, but it's worth a shot.

Stock ROM, and yes, I did load the PIM backup after loading HTC messaging for the first time. I deleted most of the old messages (that copied over the 2016/17 bug, somehow...), installed another SMS fix for the message order, and tested it with a few friends back and forth. Seems to be working now.
I also found and installed an Overclocking program, and now this bad boy is twice as fast!
