ALL MY CONTACT (outlook) is lost did a system restore and no luck where did they all go? anyone had this problem?
PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME if there is anyway to recover these data from my mobile !!!! Any place where these deleted items could be retrieved from ?Any recovery tool that i could use ???
PS: I have not performed any soft or hard reset of my mobile yet...
Thanks in advance for your help...
Look on your PC in deleted items in Outlook. This happened to me as well and I was able to restore everything. Also check your activesync settings to make sure they don't overide the PDA contacts.
thanks for the fast reply, how did you restore it? did you have to do it one by one?
thanks in advance...
Just select ALL then drag and drop in the contact folder
hopefully
hopefully you have also an answer to my problem:
i tried to synch the data of "my documents" (htc x7500) with my pc.
unfortunately after this procedure half of the mobile files have disappeared.
is there any chance to recover these lost files?
thank you very much in advance!!!
People People People. Seriously READ the screens when setting stuff up. The time it takes to do that will save you headaches later. If you have stuff on your PDA and then Set up to Sync from your PC; the PC files take Precedence and will "Clear" the PDA files that are not on the PC. Now if you read, your ActiveSync should allow you to "Keep Files ON PDA" or something. Thusly, it wont delete files that are on the PDA but not the PC.

I made this mistake and almost had a complete disaster. All my life's contacts, tasks (I'm big with tasks), appointments. I nearly died. It's cause I was moving to new computer, it wouldn't accept the blimmin' outlook.pst I'd backed up (thanks microsoft), and I didn't see that option in WMDC to replace items on desktop, not phone. So when setting up new partnership with new computer, it wiped my entire phone's data! I experienced genuine dread. That setting is actually a little hard to find and notice.
Miraculously the data was still in deleted items on my friend's computer's unused outlook that I was using beforehand! I recovered most items that way...(onto phone then from there to new laptop). Struth! (just cause I said blimmin' before without noticing it)

thank you for your answer!
i was always very careful about this feature and put this setting to "replace element on desktop" (so i felt safe and backupped my PDA to the PC).
but even so, it went wrong when synching "files".
now they are deleted on the PDA.
my question: is there any possibility of restoring these deleted files on my HTC x7500?
thank you VERY much in advance!!!
2nd attempt
hopefully any of you pda-experts will answer me, if there is still hope for my files, or are they absolutely lost?

Somehow, my wife deleted opera from her phone. I don't know how she did it, I think she was playing in the File Explorer. Anyway, the Opera folder was gone as well as another folder called MDS.
Possible to re-install Opera as it should be without having to do a hard reset?
thx!!

Backup the PIM stuff (contacts etc...) and do a hard reset.
i doubt its gone since its in the rom. she may have deleted the shortcut. otherwise try a newer version (search here for opera)
Thanks for the answer guys. Ended up having to do a hard reset.
Thanks again!
in future, you may just seach teh forum for the CAB file for the missing application...
is is a lot painless than hard reset.
Gotcha. Thanks for that. I did look through the thread about new opera versions and such, but it got a bit too confusing... so I just did the reset, but will try to do that in the future.
Somehow I lost the Internet Globe icon from Sense Internet tab. It only displays Launch Browser text now. Any ideas how to get it back? Wouldn't want to Hard Reset for that. Thanks!

Thanks but I need the original one!
Nevermind, made a Hard Reset.
i had the same issue when i have tryed to change it,you need to use cfc_gui to change the manila files or the icon is blank,this is the only way i think.

The thing is that I didn't try to change it. It was just gone after I have deleted something in Application Data\HTC so there's the source somewhere.
I know i'm dragging this post from the dead, but i managed to do the same thing, now I only have the launch browser text.
I was using sk tools and I think it deleted the wrong registry setting.
any ideas?
EDIT: I have fixed the problem
SK tools had deleted a manilla file which I found by searching for 'banner'
i think it was in hklm\software\htc\manila
However, I have found an option for internet banner image in the registry and the string links to a folder i cannot find using resco explorer
any explanation?

I was using SKTools too back when I had that problem and I think it appeared after a Registry Cleaning I applied.
I figured searching for a solution is more time consuming than a Hard Reset and I just did that. Gave up on SKTools but will try again since I've read it now fully supports HD2: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-sktools-44715-adds-hd2-and-omnia-ii-support
Any solution?
Do you guys have any solution to this? Same problem after using SKTools. I don't want to hard reset for such a small issue.
[SOLVED] Lost Globe Icon
I solved the problem as follows for anybody that might encounter the same problem. It seems SKTooks made a backup for all registry keys that it deletes, so there is a file called "Software_HTC_Manila_Internet.BannerImage.rgb" in \My Documents\registrybkp. Just run that file again to recover the globe.
Problem is being discuss in these threads, but still without a solution:
Here + Here + Here + Here + Here + Here
I had this problem where, inexplicably, the wmplayer failed to open.
Threads more like this problem are identified above.
After many steps to be able to identify the origin and solution, today was the big day that could resolve this error. I will explain:
PROBLEM:
wmplayer don't start : when click in start menu icon => nothing happens; try to play a media file (p.ex, open it inside file explorer) => nothing hapens, and so on...
CONSEQUENSES:
Although you can install another media player to listen to music, this was not the solution because without wmplayer is not possible to hear the sounds of system notifications (for example, warning sms, reminders, ...) and, worse, it is not possible to reproduce your ringtone on a phone call.
A hard-reset was the solution, but after a few days tweaking my device... bummm!!! the problem back again (and the hard work to reinstall many apps after a HR)
CAUSE:
The cause of this "fk..." problem is very simple: the system has a temporary folder for some apps : by default : "\Application Data\Volatile".
If you delete this folder (manually or with any clean manager app) the wmplayer don't start/run. The folder content can be deleted any time, but the folder itself not.
This temp folder is set in registry key : [HKLM\System\FileSys\TempPath]
By my experience, almost all apps that use this folder to cache temp data are able to create it if don't exist, but wmplayer not, so if this folder was not previously present WMP don't run (and the WMP built-in engine to play system notificatins/ringtone also not)
HOW TO SOLVE:
2 options :
- Easy : manually create the folder name "Volatile" inside "\Application Data" folder (names without ""). After that, wmplayer is back again
- Not for newbies : edit registry key [HKLM\System\FileSys\TempPath] and set a path that exist in your device and soft-reset.
Personally, I prefer to set a folder in which I'm sure that no any app clean manager will erase it. So, I set the root folder "\Application Data" for temporary temp folder for some apps in above registry key.
For newbies, I made the attached .cab that do it : just install and soft reset.
Thanks for the findings.
Thanks so much...
thank you SO MUCH for the cab file - this just happened to me yesterday and i was considering getting a whole new phone (BJ II is a couple years old and figured if i was going to have to do a hard reset, might as well just get a new phone). but this worked like a charm! every other site says hard reset, including every other mention of this on this forum. amazing. this has been going on for people since the BJ II first came out a couple years ago, so i'm glad you came up with a fix!!!
very good
best solution.
thanks mate
great solution, thanks
I was going to hard reset my Touch Pro, but it helped
BTW, it's strange, but I had Volatile folder on my device with some temp files in it, WMP began to work after emptying that folder
anyway, thank you again
thanks a ton!!!!
Hey, Finally a solution for this prob... thnx buddy.. this is great.....
appreaciate your hard work....
thank you... your solution helped me!
Thank you thank you !!!
I got this issue: wmplayer won't start and when wmplayer don't work: no more ringtones for calls, no more wake up alarm, etc.
After reading this thread i went to my volatile directory. I had 999 ! folders in this "volatile" folder. After deleting all 999 items wmplayer work again.
This is a BUG from microsoft !!! I mean why these temporary folders are just emptied but not deleted after use ???
This is the best solution.
I already have the Volatile folder and after clearing all the files inside this folder, its back to its usual form.
Great! Thanks!
PERFECT!! I can't believe it was so simple
wow thanks a lot!
you saved me a lot of trouble.
Congratz xkaiser and thank you!
1 Question: How the f*** did you find that this was the problem...??? (actually the source of the problem)
It worked
Many thanks. It worked perfectly! I cannot believe it was so easy.
Thanks xkaiser
Joined the forum just to download your fix and it worked perfectly.
I've been having the problem for over half a year now and just kept hard resetting my bj2 to get my ringtones back.
Download his file, transfer to your phone and double click to run on it. Problem solved!
Awsome
xkaiser- you are the man! I've done many hard resets to fix this problem. Thanks a ton. IT works great!
Thank you so much for posting the registry edits and even more thanks for the cab file! I HATE hard-resetting my phone and this prevented me from having to take that step.
Xkaiser! Thanks!!!
Gave a warning on my BJII that the app was for an older version of the WM phone. Still worked great - THANKS!!! You are the Man.
Bill
Hi im new to this forum and im not too sure how to use the file and get it too run on my phone too fix the problem. thankyou for your help. im so close to a solution but i cant figure it out =(
I forgot to mention that the "volatile" is not in "application data"
NVM lol I did it!
Wow! Thanks!
Me too! Can't believe it was so simple!!
Thanks for figuring it out!
Currently using SPB backup, no problems until now but lately becoming very slow, now it says backup file too large for recovery so was looking around for alternaives.
Ive searched the forums, and can find alternatives like Sprite etc but i was after some opinions from those who have actually used other apps besides SPB backup, any comments welcome, thanks.
Try this one
I use this one and it's verry good,try it - PimBackup
I have used sprite with my last few phones and PDA without any problems
Currently using the version that came on the memory card
Here is the link for PimBackup2.8
rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe
Just coppy and run.
Enjoy!

I just tried sprite and it killed my phone. It said backup file index error, the phone then soft resetted and would come back on. HTC sense was stuffed up and then the home screen would appear with no clock, weather etc, just the slider icons. Another weird thing it said i had 99 unread emalis and sms's. when i opened them it said i had 99 messages from a William Bartle, no such name in my contacts lol. Had to hard reset and luckily a recent backup i did worked.
After all that i realised i used Sprite for windows 6.0, it obviuosly makes a big difference not using the 6.5 one lol.
Thanks
thanks everyone else for their replies, will have to thy the pimbackup option out.

Hi again,
Can you confirm if its a complete backup program. I just tried it and had all options ticked but the size of the backup is 1697k yet when i used SPB it was much slower and approx 95mb.
ie/ after a hard reset id like to click on the backup file to restore it exactly how it was, themes, apps, sms's everything etc. Not just my appointments, contacts etc.
Can this program do this?
Resco Back up
I used this with my TYTNII. It was a little hit and miss and at times slooooowww!
Loaded onto my HD2...YEAH!! Goes like the clappers and never misses a beat. It has saved me twice after a hard reset following over-ambitious tweaking
There is a trial available from Handango and all the usual sites.
Good Luck!

Cheers mate, i have just downloaded and giving it a go now.
** yeah it works well, didnt give me the same errors that SPB just started giving me. Overall compression smaller as well, backup file was about 77mb vs 98mb using SPB yet same apps,settings etc. I havent tried a restore yet but im sure it will work, thanks for the tip.

After using i noticed the backup isnt a single file but many files. When you did a restore, i was wandering you did you load the file. ie/ SPB is a single file so after a hard reset and no apps are installed you just use file exp and select it. With Resco i cant see which file to load, it seems that you have to use Resco to restore but after a hard reset Resco isnt installed. Did you have to install this after your hard reset to be able to restore your backups?
Anyone know the answer to this one? Seeing a hard reset removes everything, how can you restore a backup using Resco if its not a single file to run like SPB backup.
Thankfully havent had to do this yet but just wanted to know from others using it.
Using RESCO B'up

When you set it up it writes the program in a smaller form to the micro SD. You must navigate to the folder in explorer on hard reset and launch. I would do a restore using the "SELECT" items tab - selecting all items. Doing a "FORCED" with "FULL RESTORE" was no good.
As I have it set-up for doing a daily "update" there is only one file. You can do a full daily b'up but you'll need plenty of chip room as the files are reasonably big. It does however act more like a system restore point in this case allowing restore to previous time points rather than just the most recent back-up.
Hope this helps

Hi Davej,
Appreciate the reply. I have had to do a full restore but thanks for the tip re: using Select, will use next time. Sorry for the dumb question but when you navigate to the folder, how do you launch or execute tihs. There are hundreds of files in the folder so i dont know how to launch it. With SPB it was easy being just 1 file, can you advise?

Yes. Rexboy. Don't plummet to far into the folders. Using Explorer navigate to the folder on the SD card called "RescoBackup". It will contain a folder with all the compacted backup files AND a standalone "RescoBackup" app. Launch the app and off you go!! Too Easy!
