im using wrcx3 rom and its really good, but i cant restore my messages. ive tried pim backup, spb backup, sprite backup...still cant..
i noticed the other rom i used, tnt5 touchflo, had separated the sms from mms....and i could restore my messages on there..
i thought maybe its cuz the sms and mms were together.
anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
You can't seperate them once they're put together. The only way to do it is to flash a ROM that has the seperated version included.

I have received the MDA Vario III this week and started to backup all SMS, etc from my old Vario I.
Before that, I have simunlocked my Vario III and put on the official WM6.1 ROM (ROM 3.03.405.0.WWE, Radio 1.64.06.04),
I have backupped my old SMS, etc on the Vario I with PIM Backup (but also used HTC Data Backup) and trasfered the backup-file to my Vario III.
There I did a restore.
Contacts, call history, etc was restored fine.
Only problem is that not all my SMS was restored.
PIM Backup said to have restored 25 SMS (which is correct), but on the Vario III is shows only like 10 SMS in my inbox.
Does the Vario III automatically hide some SMS or something ?
Someone had the same problem ?
This has been discussed on the PIM backup thread. Have a look there for answers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
I had to restore twice. Once missed half of the messages I received. The second time they all appeared. I think I used the SMS/MMS software to clear all messages before the second restore.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction....I guess I completely overlooked it
I have tried several restores already, even only messages restore (or even only inbox restore), but I keep having only 10 messages where the database clearly says that 25 messages are in it.....
Strange....but I will discuss this further in the right thread.

this is only my personal opinion, for me the performance of WM6.1 is superb however the only thing i feel disadvantange/a little disappointed about WM6.1 is the way of sms program showing the message. i still like the old one style. really appreciated if you have the software to change it to the old one.

The latest version of PimBackup works fine.
Once backed up, "Threaded SMS" will convert the conversations properly.
I used PPCPimBackup and it restored my SMS to the 'official' .02 HTC 6.1 rom no problems whatsoever
this did not however restore my SMS to the "Alex 6.1" builds...it restored select messages totally out of order and only about 1/10th of the messages

wow...I know this is an old thread, but that is definitely a good find. Now my threads are in order. Thanks.
why do people keep their sms and mms messages? Do you not use email? I am not judging, just curious why one would want to keep their sms messages? Do you also move them to different folder like email users?

You would need a different version of the SMS/MMS Arcsoft client.

As stated, you'd have to install a different version of the arcsoft software that does this. Microsoft (Arcsoft???) has decided that combined is better and all the newer versions have went this way (personally I like it combined myself, but it does catch me off guard when I get what I think is an SMS with no text then notice the tiny pic icon and realize its really an MMS). Just like the standard with WM6.1 is the threaded messaging (my opinion on that is still out. In some ways I like it, but other ways I hate it. So still trying to get used to it and not just turn it off (yet)).
Basically like back on WM5 where the left soft key in Arcsoft was to create a new message. Then WM6 changed that to be Delete and people screamed. But its still that way today and now most are used to it (or don't know any different).
Ive researched this topic quite a bit and have found that it cant be done unless the version of arcsoft mms is cooked into the rom. If it isnt, even after installing the older version over a new one, the combined messaging AND threading will still be in affect, it might also throw off your text and mms messaging entirely.
I may be wrong, but this is what Ive read in other threads and forums. If it can be done, Id love to know, because shortcuts to new mms wont work without this. and more importantly for, sms chat will stop intercepting my mms mesages

You are spot on! If you like it splitted up then you need a rom that does this for you, if I can make a small suggestion, give my rom a try (SMS & MMS are split up!) it's called DCSv1.7
the problem is PIM backup doesnt restore your MMS if you used a rom before with different sms and mms folders so now i dont have none of my MMS backed up on the tilt... sad
Separate!

MMS problems
I downloaded a sms threaded text cab for my att tilt- my problem is that i can't send or receive MMS messages anymore. i've been looking for days to find a way around this because i love the threaded text, but i NEED my MMS capabilities. can you point me in the right direction or do i just need to abandon my threaded txt and revert back to the original to get my MMS back?

You need to run connection wizard, or your connection settings cab again after installing the mms cab.
Ok I'm having some problems with this. Ive tried to use PIM backup and it sort of works. It backups and restores (sort of) all of my sms's but none of my contacts.
The sort of part is that the sms window is really slow and its not threading together the messages. When I turn off threaded messaging all is well.
when I went from wm5 to wm6.1 on my tytn I used spb backup and it worked perfect all the messages threaded no issues, it took a few mins but when it was all done all was well.
Ive tried the spb backup again but SPB dosent allow you to use a backup from one device on another type of device.
On the contacts issue I did the same thing on my tytn when I went from wm5 to wm6.1 I used spb backup and like magic they were all there with pictures and other info.
So you gurus out there any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!!
Try Sprite backup....or activesync

Activesync will do that? It has a use?! I thought it was just some annoying program I had to use to install non cab file programs, thanks I never thought about it.
Will also look for sprite, thanks!

Does this copy SMS messages too?
Is it possible to copy over non-threaded SMS to threaded with any of these programs? I've got an 8525 with WM6 going to a FUZE.

Yeah... Didn't work for me. I copied pim.vol (4.5MB) from my 8525 to my MicroSD card, then put it in the Fuze, renamed the Fuze pim.vol to pim.vol.fuze and copied the 8525 in its place (using total commander). I shut down and restarted as well as pushing the soft reset. No SMS messages show up.
Did I do something wrong or miss something?
[Edit]
I guess it's called patience. It looks like they just take forever to load or thread or whatever. I ended up using PIM Backup though as I only needed the messages. Also, there's no "Multimedia Messages" folder to copy to on the Fuze. I'll have to move those somewhere else.
there is no mms folder with threaded turned on if you turn it off there will be a folder. the mms messages are threaded too
Can I go back and forth (non-threaded to move them then threaded to join them)? If not, is there another way to get the MMS messages from one to the other?

Okay, I took the plunge and tried turning it off and on again (using SMS Tweaker 1.5). I didn't lose any messages, but the Multimedia Messages folder never shows up. I'd really like to keep my old MMS messages. Anyone got any suggestions?
Does anyone know how to backup SMS messages on WM5 and restore them to WM6.1?
Here's the rom I'm using (Sprint/version 1.2) http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showthread.php?t=397134
I tried PIMBackup it can backup and restore the messages fine on WM5 but it can't restore them to WM6.1. I do notice that it seems to have a seperate SMS client rather than just using "Messaging" like WM5 did, maybe that's why it won't work?
It's strange, a few will show up then stop. If I delete some of those a few more will come up. If I soft reset a few MIGHT come up.
It seems to be random, I can get anywhere from 10 to 100 to show up after a restore.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Kenny
I think I got it, don't know how...
I decided to try "SMSBackup" to look at the app I ran a backup on WM6.1.
And it backed up all my messages.
When the backup was complete my phone was counting up messages.
Up to 160 right now....
backup
Pimbackup is the simplest tool. find the attached enjoy more than you needed
Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing I tried.
But I couldn't see the messages after the restore. It caused the behavior above.
With SMSBackup I can now see my inbox.
Still nothing in my Sent Items, but I don't really care.
Funny thing is if I do a backup it backs up all my sent items.
I guess it's just some more buggy palm software.
Thanks,
Kenny
