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.
So when I'm in the satellite tab i see the sattelites but than it says "Mode 2: Fix not available". I have been struggling with getting my GPS to work and maybe there is a thing I could make the fix available?
bump......
Hiya,
Try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888
Everyone has problems with GPS and I wish that HTC would fix this. However i used the Elite RC3 ROM last week and they seemed to fix it on mine so it might be worth trying custom Roms.
I tried that but it still doesn't get a fix. Also when I put a new rom on my phone and use SPB backup to restore my contacts and programs, will the programs work? It would be too much installing for me after I flash the new rom.
What i do is this. I have an 8GB expasion card in mine so i install all the programs/games i need to that. i also use PIM backup to backup all my contacts.
All i do is run PIM backup to backup messages, contacts etc and copy all my shortcuts from the programs menu. When you hard reset or flash all you will need to do is restore the PIM backup, restore you shortcuts and you're sorted.
However if some programs require serials, you will need to enter them back in again as this is saved in the registry on the device it self. Any personal settings for those programs should be saved too providing it saves them to the storage card.
What is the best app for backing up contacts, text messages, contacts, and, if possible, system settings? I've heard of PIMBackup but I didn't know if it would back up all the stuff on the HD2.
EDIT: I want an app that backs up to the storage card, NOT an online service.
EDIT2: Freeware
Thanks!
Microsoft MyPhone works pretty well for that

I mean an app that backs up the data to a folder on the storage card.
Sprite backup is very good
I've been using it for a long time to backup to SD card. Can set schedules and create auto install backups so that you do not even need it on the phone if you want to recover the backup.
Indeed SpriteBackup is best backup app. Restored backups having all this what you select to backup. If you perform full backup and restore it after new ROM instalation, then you have exactly the same settings, files and other stuff like b4 ROM instalation.
Resco Back up
Been using this for ages.
Very robust and flexible. It has saved my butt countless times.
I have detailed the use and "how to" for a previous post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5993369#post5993369
Have a look. It is a $$ item but you can always go for the trial first.
God Luck

I'm quite sure that it won't be so. If you launch either SpriteBackup or Resco Backup getting a file and then you flash a new ROM, nobody makes sure that the system will work as well as expected. Newer ROM might have different settings or different driver versions and it will be necessary not to overwrite them in case the system gets stuck.
So, if you need to back up, make sure to save and restore all the items which don't affect either system settings or drivers.
I know retyping all the settings gets your goat, but there isn't another way out of it....... It's better off not to make mistakes and reinstall one application or patch at a time.
Cheers
Holly words. I forgot to tell about this. Performing full backup with tool like SpriteBackup is ok, but like you say, if new ROM was added, then when restoring should be selected only data like contacts, calendar, appointments etc., otherwise (when it's just refreshing system with HR, on the same ROM) performing full restore is best choice.
hi
what about spb backup is that any good?
thanks

SPB backup is good, i am using it currently
There are several options for you to choose .... "Full backup" / "Custom backup" / "Scheduled backup" / "Restore backup"

thanks for reply will check it out.
The same options have SpriteBackup.
I am sure they all are good. I use Sprite Backup. Have backed up and restored many times. Also just upgraded my ROM and then did a restore where the phone was the same as before the ROM update.....except for the new ROM, of course.
Also, Sprite has an HTC deal for 19.95...

I use Sprite and it works fine. I already owned it so
just ported it over from the old phone. Just remember to check your settings before you do a restore and back-up. They seem to change. It also forgets it is registered and I have to re-enter the user name and pass code after a hard reset to restore. The process complete message also is hard to check the box ok. They just need to make the target bigger.
thing to note, before playing with roms, download the latest stock rom update for phone, because you will have to flash it, then use your backup.. you need the rom you used to backup with so you do not mix roms, been there and had that problem, lucky I had my rom on sd card, so what ever your backup tool you need the rom it backed up. also the only thing they can backup is what is on phone, it does not backup the rom install
have used Resco for at least 3 years now, on 2 different phones and across 4/5 rom versions, very good product, I have even restored files on my HD2 that where backed up on my kaiser.
also restores across rom versions on my HD2 no problem (backed up under 1.66 restored under 1.72)
SPB Backup....
I tried Sprite for several months, tried restoring backups, there was always some problem or other, the most common being that after a restore the phone would randomly not switch on, requiribg a soft reset.
I've now tried SPB, and so far, it seems perfect. Also easier to use.
My 2p's worth.
resco backup works fine for me
I use SPB Backup.
- Allows you to do a full back-up including storage card to phone/storage card.
- Allows you to skip previous back-up files
- Can create a stand-alone file
- Can customize restore your full back-up like PIM, Text, Email, Documents, BUT leave out system files when doing a ROM upgrade.
The list goes on and on...
