Hi there
I was having some problems with my Tytn (MDA Vario 2) so did a full backup, hard reset, and reinstalled my software/contacts. I don't want to duplicate the problems I was having before so didn't want to restore from the backup.
However, the thing I would really like to replace from my back-up is my SMS history. I am using the Palm Messenger app, and I am sure that I just need to restore a specific file, but can't work out which one.
Can anyone help?

Can I use the Jeyo SMS Backup to restore the SMS from O2 Trion?
I back up my SMS with Jeyo SMS Backup from my O2 Trion, But restore on the Treo 750, there is nothing. As I know the SMS backup tool of treo 750 is Jeyo Backup, so any idea?
FYI, the sms file of treo750 is PalmMsgV001, stored in windows folder.
Periodically I copy (myself or scheduling) this file on sd card.
When you must restore it, just copy and overwrite this file in windows root

Hi

How can we do to dump all the phone, ROM + data (SMS, contact, file, etc....) ?
Thx
I found this on the forum:
This is the way i backup my phone
Your phone should be Registry and App unlocked..
Sync your phone, copy folders /Application Data - /Program Files - /Windows/Start Menu - /Windows/Start Up - to your Desktop (PC)
Install Registry Explorer with Resco Registry
Export HKCR,HKCU, HKLM then copy the .reg files on PC
Backup Contact, SMS, Call History with Jeyo Mobile Companion
--NOW DO YOUR HARD RESET OR REFLASHING THE SAME ROM--
Now, restoration...
App Unlock your device
Copy folders /Application Data - /Program Files - /Windows/Start Menu - /Windows/Start Up - to your Phone thru Active Sync. (Overwrite all)
Copy the .reg files from your PC to phone..
Install Resco Explorer with Resco Registry and Import the .reg files
Restore your Contacts thru Jeyo Mobile Companion
Restart device
there you go, you got now a clean setup of your device with all your apps and customizations. One thing, some apps wont work/launch with this procedure, you may need to reinstall them and if you try to, it will prompt that it couldn't be removed and if you wanna still continue installing, just hit Yes and install it on the same directory where it was on your previous setup.

download the latest qtek rom from xda:[email protected] and keep copy wid ya if ya need.
I believe that is enough simpler to make a backup with Sprite Backup before flash the ROM. If one becomes to the previous ROM (with which backup was made) it recovers the ready backup.
Although I have not proven it, I believe that also it would serve a copy done with ActiveSync.
Greetings
Sprite backup is the right choice! Just make a backup from your file system to the storage card, and if you want to downgrade your OS, just do that, and then run the backup file (it's an executable file). That's all!

thx for your support, but I think this is the version for QTEK-8300
Or you can use XDA-Tools
Sprite backup shouldnt be used when going from WM5 to WM6, it will corrupt your PIM and mail databases...
As for the original ROM for the Qtek 8310:

Hello everybody,
I started the restore of my "Personal Data" with Sprite Backup.
The PROBLEM:
When I use the restored pim.vol I have all the old contacts available (I can open Pocket Outlook, change them etc.), but when I open the calendar I get an error message. Therefore I wanted to backup my contacts from the old corrupted pim.vol, restore the empty new one and restore my contacts back to this.
ANY BACKUP TOOL I TRIED FAILED!
*** thanks a lot for the hint ***
you are need copy that pim.vol to pocket with old (2.3) aku - then backup with any tool (for example PPCPimBackup) that exports your contacts/messages/other to own format and restore from that backup to pocket with new aku (3.3/ other inc.wm6 ) ...
or do it thru syncronize with outlook
Hi All,
I need your help.
I had to send my HTC Haiser to service and I did a backup with Sprite Backup.
Today I received my phone back. They exchanged mainboard, so when I wanted to restore data it gave me the message that it is different phone and it needs some "upgrade files" - i don't have them - and the restoring did not work - my first mistake
Recently I had to reinstall my pc and after, I didn't synchronize with phone - my second mistake
Reasuming: I have a backup file, I want to restore my contacts. I've installed sprite explorer and recover pim.vol file but don't what to do with it?
How can I get my contacts back???
Please help!!!
Thanks
Piotr

Hi,
Sprite BU can only restore data to the same phone with the same OS. Even an upgrade fom WM6 to WM6.1 is killing the backup. Best thing you try is sending the backup.exe file to your PC and try to open it with Universal Extractor .

Hi,
Check the properties, and try to open it in Notepad. Look at the structure and see if you can save it as *.csv which can be imported in Outlook and then synced by AS.
Dirk
If the PIM file has been extracted, should it not be the case just to copy to the device?
