Need help. I`m going crazy for last 3 months!!! Needed to send my S100 for repair and did a backup. when got it back and tried to restore backup.stg file goes almost until the end, but.... then does not load 4 dll and some databases that I think are from from the outlook. I have set the Regional Settings as previously, but does not work. The fact is that I have everything back except all my telephone numbers and outlook contacts that I have collected for the last 3 years!!!
NEED HELP!!! Thank anybody!! :idea: ??
I think I had the same problem months ago. I assume you get some error about files/databases being in in use/locked.
My suggestion is you get a copy of SPB Pocket Plus (trial will do) & activate the safemode option. This means that if your device softresets twice within 30 secs. it will offer to boot in safemode & that's what you want in this case. So softreset your device twice within those 30 secs & go into safemode. Now restore your PIM data etc. Shouldn't be a problem now.
Pls respond if this works cause I didn't try (just didn't knew then) & I did loose my data at that time. Now I use Sprite Backup which is much much better.
Succes, M
Thanks oltp for the reply. I am afraid but that did not work!! when I try to restore the backup.stg file from the S100 using the xBackup option the start button doesn`t even come activ! If I try to restore from ActiveSync>Tools>Backup/Restore and then I click "Restore Now" it comes with a message like this: "the selected backup file is not valid. Please select another storage file".
Can you help me?
I'm very afraid I can't help you then with xBackup. Did you ever synced all contacts & appointments with Outlook, so you can sync. them back to your device?
Don't delete your file right now, maybe I can experiment a little with xBackup today & work something out. No promises though.
Best advice, too late of course, use Sprite Backup next time.
Regards, M
Once again thanks for your effort oltp. I`d appreciate you could work out something as I also lost the backup file that I had fm the outlook. I rely completely on you. :idea:

you should use pim backup
no mannnn !!! i mean AUTOSAVE , comes from OS !
you know what i mean ?!
look when a messages comes to your pda , it goes to inbox ! if you reset your phone , after rebooting that message is gone !
Bcuz your phone did not REMEMBER that message !
anybody ?!

Are you doing hard reset..or soft reset... cause unless you're doing hard reset I don't understand why your message would be gone.... I don't know why you'd want to do hard reset that often.
But, I use PIM Backup... I'll attach it below... it's not even an installation.
It's just executable that you execute..
Great thing about this is, you can schedule it to run everyday.. so, at worst you only loss a day worth of data.
Also, it backs up bunch of other stuff besides messages... like contacts, call history, and emails.. stuff.
I hope this helps.
I think this thread (and the other thread by manuelcalavera) should be moved to the generic "Wizard" section..This subforum is for WM6 ROMs discussion only..

oh , bcuz i dont have these problems on my wm5 !
this is the reason that i post them hear !
and about PPC backup , its not about hard reset , its about soft reset !
as you know , when a message comes , phone keeps it in inbox but it will save it after minutes !
i want to save them faster
I don't understand this at all. If I get an SMS and IMMEDIATELY do a soft reset, the SMS is still in my inbox when the phone reboots. I just tried this and it works. There is no "data loss" as you claim. The only way you lose messages that come in is if you hard reset (and then you lose everything).
So I don't understand why you think you lose messages. And as you said, its just like it was on WM5.
Again, I just tested this. I had my daughter send me an SMS. As soon as I got notified (and without going to read it) I did a soft reset on my phone. When my phone rebooted, her message was still sitting in my Inbox.
If I misunderstood what you are asking for, then can you tell me how to reproduce what you are seeing (and be detailed. Your fast posts with little information are hard to understand at times).
actually im using your rom , XDA mobile r2a , great rom man ... i have not change it after i flashed it
look , i test that too , but look , if you dont read the message , phone keeps it and it save it and i dont know why !
but if you read it , 2 happening occurs after soft reset :
1) the message will be gone
2) it will be there but its unread
you see ? its like when you are writing sth in the MS Word , and you reset your pc , your document may be save or not at that moment , cuz word save it on periodic-specific time ... so it could be saved or not !
i have this problem with messaging too !
some times i soft reset it and i will have my unread messages that i've read them 5 minutes ago ... ( its the good part )
and the bad part is sometimes i lost those !
but if i soft reset after several minutes ( around a quarter ) , i will have them like when i was going to soft reset
after all , im sorry for my bad english !
I'm thinking that this might be happening because you're using the pin hole to soft reset. Use the power button on the top to shut it down and then reboot, unless your locked up for some reason, and that will probably stop happening. have someone send you an sms and then reset it that way and see if it still happens.
i think that will help , but it seems that most of people dont have this problem , even with holding stylus in the hole
Think of your wizard as a PC, using the power buton is like clicking start and then shutdown and using the reset hole is like pulling the plug while it's still on. Somethings bound to get lost if you pull the plug and usually does. You should really only use the reset hole if your phone is locked and you can't use the power button (that's why they make the hole so small )
yeah , you're right ! using power botton does not do that !
but why most of people do the stylus and the hole thing , without any problem ?! :-s

Did you backup your contacts before upgrading and then restored back to your phone again after upgrading ?
By backup, I hope you mean via activesync?
no i didnt make a backup .. at all. do i need to make some kind of backup then to get the contacts menu to work???
as i cant even access the menu it goes to load but shuts itself ?
btw thanks guys for replies..
Oh dude, just hard reset your device. It'll be fine.
did you install pocketcm?
does your sms inbox still work?
ive tried hardreset... no difference.
yes my sms inbox works fine, this was with pocketCM and normal contacts list.
-Groovedude!
just go into the file explorer go to my device look for the pim file and rename it. then soft reset your device. it should work after that
does it matter what i should rename it to ?.... ?
i renamed the pim file to "c" soft reset... and HEY presto it works thank you everyone.
big thank you to thunda_chunky
no prob =] same thing happened to me b4

Hi All,
I have installed Destinator 6/7 (both versions) many times and it worls for 1-2times and then it stops at the first screen and today screen pops up again. The top status bar is destinator but lower half is today screen.
I even flashed my Wizard many times with diffrent flavours of WM 5 and 6. It works hardly once or twice then same problem.
Everytime I hard reset it, it works 1 time and then again the problem is shown.
Has anyone has managed to make any version of destinator to work (either 6 or 7) on any WM??? Does anyone have the same problem with me???
Thanks in advance.
Working on WIZA200
IPL=2.26
SPL=2.26
GSM=2.25.11
OS=2.26.10.2 (using a WM5 ROM)
Hi,
With destinator 6 I never had any problems.
It was working with WM5 and with WM6.
Sometimes I had to stop all other programs to get more free memory.
Did you test this already?
Hi,
I've been using Destinator 6 without any issues on my K-jam. I suggest you to uninstall everything except maps on SD. Then, install it again on the main memory. Also, surf on the Destinator technology site if there's an upgrade or something to your country.
Wish you luck!
Cheers!
hi, i had the same problem that you have now, but only with wm6,
i find out that when i hard reset my device or upgrade a new rom i allways backuped all my pim data using pimbackup 2.5.
then after the upgrade i restored all my pim info, and then the problem with destinator 6 or 7 begins.
the solution for me was that when i backuped my pim data i unchecked an option in the pimbackup called ""binary backup"", then after that, when i restore the pim data ,destinator works fine.
so, are you restoring your personal data using pimbackup?
if so, maybe this is the solution
by the way, i am using a prophet
Thanks for your replies..
Today I re-installed TNT.1933_Prof_HTC ROM and increased pool size to 12 MB. Right now the memory stats are:
Storage Memory Free = 38.8 MB
Program Memory Free = 18.2 MB
Destinator and Maps both are installed on the Storage Card (2 GB) with 200 MB free space. This made it to work for 2 times and again it stopped.
Also, I realized that the program actually crashes as there is no entry of the program in the task manager.
So this has rather become a crash issue with Destinator.
Any insight will be very much apreciated...
And, I use a Bluetooth based GPS receiver.
Thanks.
I don't think it is a memory issue. As detailed in the last post it has some 16 MB of mem free.
joesa: Yes, I also use PIM Backup to restore my Emails/SMS. Do you think that is causing the problem. I'll try to disable the bin backup while restoring.
Thank you for the clue.
I don't know V7.0 but I think it should be very similar than V6. I insist you to install the core app into the main memory and just leave all maps on SD. Then, you can hard reset many times without having to install maps again. I'm telling you exactly what my local support said at the time I faced installation issues with V6.
Good luck btw....
This indeed was a crash issue due to unwanted binaries. Thanks joesa for that clue. After disabling that binary option in PIMBackup the problem disappeared. Destinator is working Fine on my Wizard (Both program and maps on SD).
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.

Your wellcome, glad i could help!!!!
i think so after open and close Destinator 7 he don´t close the speeks after open again, no sound is avaliable, need soft resset for work again.
Only in destinator 7 i detect this, in destinator 6 works fine.

Ok, but is there a solution for us, who do not want to do a hard reset?
I just reinstalled everything on Thursday, can't do it again
Maybe backup and restore PIM without hard reseting, and with unchecked binary setting? Would this work?

i'm afraid that if you don't have a previus rom backup(sprite, spbbackup), before using pimbackup, you would have to hard reset, i never was able to make it work after restoring my pim data with pimbackup(binary)
5thWheel said:
I'm having this problem without doing anything to my PIM. It seemed to start arbitrarily. Is the restore of PIM modifying some files somewhere in a manner that Destinator doesn't like? If so, which files? Maybe mine got modified by some other app and if I delete/manually alter them I can get it going again?

it took me a lot of time to find out that pimbackup(binary) was the program that screwed destinator(guess it has something to do with databases), what i did to find the program was:
hard reset, install destinator and tried, install next of my needed program and tried destinator, install next program and tried, and so untill i found wich program screws destinator,
sorry i can't help
good to hear that !!!!!!
Would Activesync contribute with the crash?
I haven't any pim backup in my TYTN II and hard reseting the ppc every week is complicated.
Think I'll stop using Destinator.
Problem stills...
Any news????
I have an htc touch pro and installed destinator 7. It worked well for a few days and then suddenly refused to load. It crashed at the start screen. After a lot of experimenting I found the solution. I deleted all my sms-mms contents and then destinator was working again! I believe that certain characters from sms's are the cause, since destinator has a built in facility to send an sms. It's annoying though since each time you have a crash you need to remove your sms contents.
kospan - you're my man due to having the same issue i tried ypour solution and - that's it!!! i'm glad to tell you and all those who having this problem, too, that it's only the MMS - if you delete only all stored mms then it will work fine again too
I'm glad I could help! So only MMS? I guess that is good news because I will be able to keep my sms, which are far more than the mms.
need to delete both SMS/MMS
In my diamond, i had to delete both the SMS/MMS to make the destinator work.
Thank you guys for your support.
Hello.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but i'll just give it a try.
Recently my diamond started acting weird. Suddently some data wasn't there (Like contacts), and then after some time the phone freezes. Then i reeboot the phone by pressing the Reset button in the back, and then when it boots again, it is trying to make the firstboot screen again, but it cannot configure again because there is no more space for that. :S
Then i Re-flash the phone, and it works for like 3 hours and then Does the above again.
Anyone know what this can be, and if i can correct it?? I think it is some sort of hardware thing, but hope you guys know better
I know how to flash and some other things, but see me as a newbie (no fancy Words pleace )
Phone:
Diamond GSM 100
Rom: GEN Y DX2
Hard-SPL 4 Olinex
Radio: 1.11.25.01
Hi
I don't know if your problem is similar to the I had, where my phone would freeze at a random point and resetting was the only option. After the reset the phone would delete everything on the main memory (including messages and contacts). After a month with reflashing different roms, I think I kind found a solution that I hope also works out for you:
1. Download the original stock rom from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483
2 Install it by following this guide:
The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread!! - Diamond Edition
by MysticGenius. (The method basically deletes everything and gives you kind of a fresh start)
3Now everything should hopefully be working smoothly and you are free to reflash it with your favourite rom
Good luck (^.^)
