Yesterday I made an involuntary hard-reset :-((((
OK, no problem, restoring the last full-backup and thats it... I thought.
But some files had not been restored, because Active-Sync says, that the software is in use... So Pocket-Informant.
The Contact-Database an and appointments-database had not been restored.
Because I have no Outlook installed on my Notebook the full-backup is the onliest backup I have.
Is there another possibility to restore the databases from the backup.
Is there a possibility to terminate poutlook.exe? This will be the application that causes the probs I think...
Lot of thanks for help,
Ciao, Ralf
No idea??

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a tool for backup of the installed programs before update and restore them on the new ROM? I tried with Sprite Backup, but than I had to hard reset because the device hang after Splash screen. Such a tool would save a lot of time. Greetings!
No No No No No No
The reason you should NOT restore after a flash is that any backup program (Sprite, SPB included) must by its nature backup things like registry and datbase files.
If you restore then you will overwrite the information that the very clever cookers have spent all of their time fixing to make the ROM stable.
Equally backing up PIM data (contacts, calendar, tasks etc) using this type of program and then restoring can cause problems. If you can - sync with PC first and resync after the update. Then you are guarenteed compatibiliy.
If you must backup on the PPC then use programs like SMSBackup and ContactsBackup. These export and import the data rather than taking a copy.
I know it is a pain and takes a long while but I strongly recommend reinstalling after an update.
If anybody knows of a tool that can automate the installation of a number of CABs please please let me know.

I had this problem with mine. The only way I was able to get mine back was to re-flash the phone back to the ROM I was using when I backed up my contacts originally, restore from the SPB backup file, then back up the contacts again using a different backup software, one that works with WM6. I used PIM Backup.
just let activesync backup your contacts (the phone ones, SIM contacts aren't touched by flashing anyway), and once you set up your partnership, with the same name as before, it will ask you regarding the conflicting files between your computer and phone... just choose to replace phone's files with those found on the computer.
Works for me every time, no matter what I'm upgrading from and to.
I agree, I just use spb backup for my programs, but leave the pim backup to either the PC or exchange
rgds
I think I will reflash to original rom, backup, and then reflash again.
spb backup
have ou considerd unzipping the backup on your desktop with the app that spb provides andgetting your files that way
Hey guys, im kind of a newbie but here is my problem.
I have a iMate KJAM.
I've upgraded using NBD 7.7 and XDA Mobile 6 Release. Everything works fine except the contacts program does that work. I click it and it simply does not load. Also on bootup, there is also a issue saying "cannot load ssdaemon".
Any Ideas?
try and see if ssdaemon exists on \windows\ folder (on your phone). If it does, make a shortcut to it in \windows\startup and reboot your phone

Are you using SPB Backup to restore your contacts from before you upgraded? I had the same problem. Use PIM Backup instead. As far as getting your old contacts back, SPB offers a utility you can use on your desktop PC to extract the contacts from the backup file. Or you could re-flash to your old ROM, restore the contacts, back them up using PIM Backup, then upgrade again and restore them from PIM Backup.
does activesync see your phone? because it won't see mine

Go to settings > connections > USB to PC
and disable advanced network functionality.
Sometimes it's necessary to change this in order to enable active sync.

I can't even open up the contacts. it simply opens for 1 sec and closes. I suspect corrupts contacts database. How do I delete contacts?
I had this problem before with a few different rom builds, I solved it by hard resetting a few times. Someone else solved it by doing something else in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1358295#post1358295
heya,
i never tried yet but .... it would work if i first backup my phone with spritebackup (or anything else), then upgrade rom, then restore the backup ?
that's to avoid reinstalling all of my stuff (contacts,tomtom,etc..) every time .....
theoretically, it shouldnt work .... but anyone tried ?
thanks!

When you use SpriteBackup, it backs up your registry and many other core files also. New ROM upgrade could include fixes or newer drivers that may get overwritten when you restore your backup. So, for stability reasons, it's not recommended.
Best thing you can do is get PIM Backup and it will backup most of your messages/contacts and other stuff. There isnt a very good way to avoid having to reinstall applications though.

You can do it...
If you use sprite, you can safely restore if you use upgrade mode in the advanced options. It will restore your contacts, programs, etc. but will not overwrite any system or rom registry settings.
