HI together, :?
I`m new in this forum and found it because I have a issue I don`t get rid of. I have 2500 sms messages on my xda and want to sell it to get a new one. My problem is I don`t want to delete my whole sms messages as there are so many important one I can`t delete as I need them documented.
I installed now the SMS Export tool from yorch.net as I red in this forum here that I should be able to get this done with this tool.
Problem is that I´m not able to get it done successfully.
1. I downloaded the tool and installed it from my PC over Active Sync on my xda.
2. I can see the SMSExport.vce file in my root folder on my xda
3. I can see the VICERT.vce and Visual CE.unload file under /windows
Problem is now that I need asistance how I can use the tool now ?
1. If I start the VICERT.vce file I get the msg "Run VisualCE.exe to create a form"
2. If I run Visual CE.unload file as I don`t see a exe I get the msg that there is no application assigned to the file?
3. If I riun the SMSExport.vce file I get a programm called SMS Export Utility in front of me where I don`t know how to handle to get the sms messages on my local PC.
My aim is to read the sms messages on my local pc (word or txt file) and burn it as backup on a cd.
I would really appreciate any help as I spent hours already on this topic and I`m not smart enough to get it done.
Thanks in advance...

Exporting SMS to Storage
Have you tried this program? http://xpocketpx.fw.hu :lol:
I currently have 350 outlook contacts on my works PC and I want to extract them and place them onto my Orbit. Problem is that my works PC has Activesync 4.2 on it and I need 4.5 to connect my Windows mobile 6.0 device to allow transfer via activesync. I tried downloading and installing 4.5 on the pc but it fails and I am not sure if it is because my work PC runs windows 2000 and it is not compatible. I can back these up to a ‘.pst’ file etc but can anyone tell me how to transfer then across to my orbit failing the ability to activesync? I know that once on the orbit I can use the pim manager to backup and restore them as required. Thanks in advance JD
Use Import/Export on Outlook
Hi, you can use the import/export option under File menu.
Select "Export to a file" then select what ever the file format (preferebly excel) and save it on a file.
Then similarly import that file on any PC with ActiveSync 4.5 on it and then sync the PPC.
I am sorry if you are looking for method to sync it directly.

If you own an XP PC version at home you'd better install Microsoft Outlook 200X + activesync 4.5 then backup your outlook.pst file from your work PC and sync everything from your home XP PC. That would be the best way to sync them, because sometimes activesync is killing your contacts both ways if you decide to erase a PC connection partnership.
Thanks Gguyaz this sounds feasible..I'll investigate this possiblity over the next few days. Thanks for all the replies...JD...
Hi all.
I'm concerned by these problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4973419&postcount=10188
I've to delete all text in the "Notes" field from all contacts from my phonebook. The problem is that I have too many contact to make it manually, and on my cellphone. I'll have to take all my contacts on my PC and to modify all with my computer, for example with Excel.p
Anybody as an idea to do this backup (phone -> pc) without using Windows Mobile Sync ? I've not internet here, and my computer can't detect the right drivers from my phone to do this... thanx for helping !
As I know you can backup contacts to Pc only via Active Sync and Outlock.

I'm not this is achievable on a stock ROM, but maybe you can download the apk from your computer, use the usb cable to copy the apk onto your phone and run the apk from your phone. That should install the application, and allow you to backup your messages.

If you have a stock ROM, there MUST be at least one application that allows browsing of your SD Card. You're sure you're not running some carrier-brewed OS right?

I am looking to install LineageOS as a replacement of stock Android on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
As part of the migration, I need to keep years worth of old text messages and reimport those into Lineage's messaging app.
Is there a low-level way to export the data from the current OS install? My device is not (and will not be) connected with the Google Play store, limiting my access to utilities which offer this functionality.
I'm having the same issue with contacts, though I could theoretically export them by hand if it meant never connecting the phone to a Google account.
Looking for a Google-free, advertising-free FOSS way to accomplish this so I can finally banish Google from my device entirely.
Thanks in advance.
Your contacts app should be able to export all contact in a local vcf file. LineageOS contacts can import that. Not sure about sms.
I have this problem in 2023. Lineageos can export only up to 1000 contacts!? And if I have more, no way.
SeedVault is available only from 18.1 and I don't know how it works but export from previous version is a real problem.
I did the migration with local backups on a local laptop (not using any cloud provider or other apps that suck/misuse your data).
Contacts (300+ contacts) are migrated with the contacts app (-> Settings -> Export) to a local file on the mobile.
Then connect the old mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the laptop.
Then connect the new mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the new mobile into the Download folder.
Then on the new mobile phone use the app FIles and go to the file in the Download folder. Choose the file and the contacts will be imported (attention: I was unable to access the file directly from the app contacts, choosing it from files worked automatically)
For ca. 2000+ SMS and ca. 4000+ calls- logs I used the app "SMS Backup & Restore" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en&gl=US).
On the old mobile, export the SMS using the app into a local file on the old mobile.
Then connect the old mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the laptop.
Then connect the new mobile with a USB-cable to the laptop and allow USB-data transfer (old mobile -> settings -> connected devices -> USB: Data transfer). Copy the file to the new mobile into the Download folder.
Then on the new mobile phone use the app FIles and go to the file in the Download folder. Choose the file and the SMS will be imported (attention: I was unable to access the file directly from the app contacts, choosing it from files worked automatically).
For the calls-logs proceed as with the SMS.
This way you have at the same time a local backup of the most important mobile data on your laptop.
P.S: For migration of you OTP-tokens use FreeOTPplus following these manuals:
