Help... My touch restore settings automatically - General Topics

I don't know why this is happening, probably because I deleted something in the windows folder. My touch restores system registry(or database) automatically when I don't want it to. The softkeys go back to original, pocket activesync not working and the exchange informations are wiped out, contacts are all deleted, and the most weired thing is, the mail/sms application won't start!
I've tried so many times, restoring to the previous version, and it worked for a while, then if I try to sync the email again, everything comes back!
Please, please, please! I've come a long way to make my touch so perfect for me, I don't want to do it all over again!!!
Somebody help me! PLEASE!
Update:
I kinda got it fixed somehow, anyway, I first restored, and used PIMbackup to backup the contacts something etc... then go directly to activesync, and delete everything before they disappear, then reset, then used pimbackup to restore everything, then it works fine now, email's fine, contacts' fine, everything's fine.

Problem with xda 2i

just upgraded to a 2i, unlocked to all networks, put my voda card in and can send and receive texts but not calls at all, any ideas? Tried an o2 card and its just the same,
thanx
I'm not sure what to make of this, sounds like something's seriously screwed. When I unsimlocked my 2i to copy the contacts off my old Virgin sim, I made a couple of test calls and it worked fine.
The only thing I can suggest really is that you try a hard reset and a Corporate install, then unsimlock right afterwards and give it another go. If you do do that, I'm not sure if making a full backup would help, because then when you restore it if you have a registry problem which is causing the error, it'll restore the conflict too.
The last time I did a hard reset, I wanted to keep all my text messages and contacts though, so I did do a full synchronisation with Outlook to save my contacts, and I used a really sweet programme called smsOrganizer to backup all of my MMSes and SMSes. It's not _the_ most intuitive of programs, and it does require a little manual file manipulation after the reset before you restore the files (obviously), but it worked just purfick for me
I can only really suggest a hard reset, because that's the only way I know for sure to eliminate any and all problems you have which are arising from pre-existing conflicts.

No messaging with NotTooSmart vanilla

I´m using NotTooSmart vanilla and really loved it but now I cannot execute Messaging program. No SMS, no MMS and no email. I don´t know why???
When I go to Programs - Messaging nothig happens. When I press button 1 nothing happens.
Why????
Can´t find help in the forum yet.
Same after ahrdreset and backup
I did a hardreset and messaging is working. But after restoring by SKTools - nothing happens again. I don´t know when messaging stops working. SO I think I´ve got to set up phon efrom bottom. Urgh:

I dont understand what you are having backed up with SKtools. This being said, any backup made with SKtools should be used only on the rom you made it with. Every rom is diffrent as every chef is diffrent. Set it up from scratch and make a new backup. then when you hardreset you should be ok to use those backups.
It is your rom
I ran SKtools after setup everything with your vanilla ROM. Tha is clear. But while installing everything there must be a mistake - I don´t have messaging programs. I´ve set email accounts and everything was ok, stable and very fast. Today I recognized, that I couldn´t write anny message. It only makes nothing by pushing button 1. It makes nothing, when I go to Programs - Messaging.
After hardreset everything works great. So while installing and befor making a bakup of your ROM and my settings - there must be a break in these part. So after restore I have the same problem like before. So I have to install everything again. My fault I think.
But the backup I made is naturaly from your ROM.
You realize you are backing up and restoring on WM6 and most tools are not upgraded for WM6 yet. Could be that SKtools restore (or backup) doesn't work quite right with WM6. Just a guess, but anyone running WM6 should realize that some things just may not work (or appear to work but then break, or worse, break other things due to bad interactions).
Welcome to the bleeding edge!
First test
It hase been my first test with SKTools and everything is fine. Everything works. But perhaps I haven´t realized that messaging was not running before I made the backup. So when I restore - I restore the mistake. So I´ve got to hardreset and start again.
No problem. Third time this week with different ROM
I read from another thread that the way wm6 stores the contact list is quite different from wm5. Maybe this is why SKTools can't restore the backup correctly on wm6.
No problem
Backup works perfektly.
I cannot run any messageaplication.

same thing here. Backup with spb backup 1.55 does work fine for other wm6 rom but don't work (restoring) for this rom.
spb works fine but doesn't restore the messenges which are backuped, the rest of the restore works great
strange
da heufster
Hard reset made it
After one hour and ahrdreset, messaging is again working. Don´t know why it was broken.
But now have again 25MB after sktools optimize.
Running fast.
Thank you.

Problem Reinstalling from Sprite Backup

I hard reset my Touch Pro to test something out. On attempting to reinstall from my Sprite backup I've had a major problem.
Attempts:
1) A straightforward reinstall led to an 'SPBServices.exe cannot be found' message and TouchFlo repeatedly trying to start but failing.
2) In a second attempt I stopped the contents of the 'StartUp' folder from being reinstalled - which stopped the 'SPB' message from appearing but the TouchFlo problem still happened.
3) Third attempt - I set everything to reinstall except the contents of the Windows folder - this worked just fine except, of course, all the problems that come from trying to make anything run without the dlls etc. in that folder.
The only things I can think that might be messing with TouchFlo after the reinstall are:
I installed SSMaPa and made it give me Pocket Informant instead of the built-in WinMo calendar.
There's Pocket Informant itself. I have TomTom installed. Spb Traveler. Otherwise I can't think of anything else that would load at the start and possibly interferen with TouchPro starting.
Anyone got any ideas? Clearly it is something, a dll I assume, that I need to tell the backup not to reinstall. The last thing I want to have to do is reinstall everything manually.
Anyone? Suggestions? Solutions? Random abuse?

Sprite Backup... what WONT it recover

Im contemplating a hard reset and use Sprite backup. So my question is.. what WONT it bring back.. in terms of settings and programs and what not. I obviously dont care much about the storage card, but just everything else.. what will i lose.. call history.. sms... mail account settings, program settings.. UI stuff...
Thanks for ure help.
Anyone have any ideas?
Assuming you have the latest version, it "should" recover everything. But I put that in quotes because something flaky can always happen depending on any number of factors. However, it still beats the alternative of not backing up at all.
I can tell you that I had to do a restore of my Fuze a few days ago, using Sprite 6.5, and it worked flawlessly. Hope that helps.
By and large...sprite is able to backup and restore almost every setting inlcuding email and your email account settings. Just keep in mind that email settings backed up wont be transferable to another device. Just in case your planning on doing a restore on another device.

Cannot view Contacts

Hello! I am new here and this gonna be my first post.
My problem was I am unable to get in my contacts. Here's how it happened:
I have XDA II Mini. I usually used Spb Backup to back my programs, etc. I am also fun of installing a lot of apps on it until such time that it was unable to reboot. So I hard reset it and used the Spb Backup. But before restoring the programs, etc., I added some outlook contacts on the phone since I've met emergency by that time. After restoring, all are working fine except for my contacts. I can't get into it anymore.
Please help me!
