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

You can't restore a full backup from spb backup type utilities from one rom to a different rom (and especially from WM5 to WM6 sinc the PIM is completely different between WM5 and WM6).
Here's my suggestion to you, Go back to WM5 (same rom you had before) and then restore your spb backup to put you back to where you started. Then get a copy of PIM Backup and install it (its just an exe that you run so put it on you SD card so you always have it between rom flashes). Use that to backup your contacts, SMS, MMS, call logs, etc. Now flash to WM6 and then install and restore your PIM backup file you just took. You will then need to reinstall all of your apps and such that you want to run on WM6, but your call logs, sms, etc will all be over on WM6 and working.
So remember, SPB backup (and the like) are only good for backing up and restoring on THE SAME ROM (so don't even try using it between two different WM6 roms or two different WM5 roms as that won't work and will cause you all sorts of grief).
I also tried with pim backup, but I can't see sms too... Is there differents way to export or just one 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

Please make sure you follow ALL my articles - in them, I've scrutinized not evenb Sprite Backup's special Upgrade mode is able to restore Contacts some time. Spb Backup, in addition, in no way supports cross-OS upgrades / restoration - no wonder it doesn't work - see the Backup Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
You will want to flash your device back to WM5, backup your contacts with, say, the free PIM Backup (or sync them to Outlook / Exchange), flash back to WM6 and restore / resync your stuff. See http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2098&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 on this.
Hi
I'm having a big problem restoring backup data on my Touch Cruise after installing the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade.
I took a backup before the 6.1 upgrade with the Sprite Backup Software that was with the phone when I bought it, but when I try to restore the data, the phone just freeze - and it seems that it is because the original Sprite Backup software doesn't work with 6.1.
I have then tried to buy the newest Sprite Backup Software (version 6.5.2), because it was supposed to have a feature to backup acros different ROM types. But when I find the backup file from the original Sprite Software tool, I get the message "The selected backup file was created using a different version of the Sprite Backup (1%) and is incompatible with your current version (6,5,2, build 102).
So in other words, I can't use the original provide backup tool to restore my data from windows mobil 6.0 to 6.1, and I can't use the new software either.
What can I do to restore that data? There have been no warning on the HTC website when downloading the ROM upgrade that you couldn't restore the backup data - and I'm using the backup tool that was on the CD, when I bought the phone.
I surely hope that there is some way to restore that backup data, because it contains important information about contacts and settings. If there isn't a fix then I would like to know how to restore Windows Mobile 6 on the phone, because this seems to be the only version that allows me to use the Sprite Backup tool to restore my backup data. But I don't know if that is possible (and if there is a danish version of the old WM6?).
Any help restoring the data or getting back to WM6 is VERY appreciated. THANK!
PS: I'm not very technical, so please "spell it out for me" what to do
Download the original WM6 rom, then run PPC Pimbackup to back up your PIM information, then install the WM6.1 rom, then restore the data using Pimbackup. (Free)

DOnt Panic is correct in what he says, but for your future info, you cannot restore backups from one rom to another, that is 6.0 to 6.1 or whatever. It is not the fault of sprite backup so get your money back
Downsoad official 6.0 rom from HTC (or the rom u had before). Restore your backup (this will now work with ur original rom).
Once you have all your info back, download PIM Backup from here. Backup your contacts, emails files etc but NOT system settings.
FLash your new rom and restore backup using PIM backup and happy days
PIM backup is good for this. Make sure you keep ur sprite backup u did safe, it is a good way of getting back to a good working place.
WHen you have your new rom clean, with contacts, do another backup using Sprite and keep it, clean backups done just after a flash (once contacts are on etc) are a handy tool to keep on sd card, saves doing a hardrest!

timmymarsh... Just to point out that SPB Backup has a very clever backup process between ROMS. I used it between WM6 and WM6.1 (OK so it's not the best) but between std wm6.1 and custom it worked a dream...

Fair play, u learn something new every day although personally if i had to rely on it (100% relyability), id do it my way, but the info is appreciated
I have gone from wm5 to various wm6 roms over the last week and whenever i use a touchflow based rom i cannot add contacts to the people page.
If I use spb mobile shell adding the contacts are fine however.
today i tried to backup the contacts using pim backup 2.8 and it says
"invalid contacts backup file type"
is there anything i can do to repair the file please?
thanks
I do not know what it should be. But i think it as a compatibility issue. As i understand you backed up your contacts in WM5 and trying to restore it in WM6? If that is true, try to flash back to some WM5 ROM (best ROM should be the one that you made a backup on) and try restore contacts there from your SPB backup file, it should work corectly. Then download the PIMbackup and backup it again, also if you have outlook try to backup contacts using it, it is better because of compatibility issue Then flash the WM6.1 ROM you want and try to restore contacts using PIMbackup or outlook. The problem is that the SPBBackup backup the database pim.vol file from WM5 and it has, in my opinion, a bit different structure of storing contacts. So that is why it seemed corupted for WM6.1 Let me know if it works
worked a treat, thanks
i am glad it worked spbbackup simply backup the pim.vol file and replace it in new ROM. PIMbackup works another way, also outlook uses own method by storing contacts in vcf format
