IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER TO TRANSFER ALL MY DATA i.e CONTACTS/PROGRAMS/FILES...PLEASE HELP
Yes screen can be replaced, try to find service company for HTC somewhere around your location. There are some pictures of HTC communicator dismantling here. The screen is a separate part. Your phone (HTC Herald) should not be an exception.
awesome...thank you i was afraid i was goin to have to replace the entire device...

I think it should be possible to get data off the device via active sync ansd some backup program. If you use something like my mobiler you can even emulate your device screen on PC to be absolutely sure you will not lose any data even if they repalced the device entirely. Good program to backup messages/contacts is PIM backup - does not need install - just one .exe.
EVEN BETTER...im gonna try running the 'my mobiler' on my pc and see if i can just /view tranfer the data that way..

sorry for double post. My mobiler runs automatically on ppc so there should be no need to use the screen for install. Let me know if it works for you.
how do i use/download the PIM backup if my screen is blank, can i run the exe with the mymobiler on my PC?
pim backup is exe file - you can copy it to your device via active sync/windows explorer (it does not need to be installed in any way, just copied). then you can use my mobiler to work with your device - you need to find the Pim backup exe with devices's explorer and run it. it backs up to the memory card by default. should be straightforward.
You can download pim backup here.
THANKYOU KarhU...you have no idea how much help you have been...i will let you know the results
You can also use full fledged backup programs. They can backup everything - even your programs and so on. PRoblem is that they are paid, and need installation (should not be problem if mobiler works).
If mobiler does not work you can copy the PIM.vol from the root directory of the device to your PC - this is a database containing all of your PIM data. Restore from it is fairly simple too.
Guys
I need help as well. I'm using HTC_Tytn with Rom Version : Schap's 3.60a, ROM Date : 08/09/07, Radio Version : 1.47.00.10 . Protocol Version : 32.80.7020.20H ExtROM : 3.60.20070822. I'm having a problem with the bluetooth issues whereby it always can be turn on ( you need to restart and it will automatically turn on) , phone siddebly hang ( when received call) and another major issues is I can't do Video Call ( I can see the other party but my front camrea is not working). Can anyone help?? Should I upgrade anything or maybe there's another ROM that you guys may suggested?
Someone I know had a TMO MDA given to them with a cracked screen. They went directly to TMO and was quoted $100 for the screen. Just stop by a TMO store and ask - even if they tell you you're boned, you're only out the $400 dollars for the gas you burned to get down the block and the 10 minutes it took.
Or just try calling 611 from a TMO phone and ask them. Never hurts.
how do i retrieve the data 'backed-up' by the PIM exe...everything is running great (mobiler, sync) i ran the PIM exe from mobiler and it took a while but finally said completed...so where or how can i view the data (messages/contacts etc) saved or backed up??? thank you again for all your help, i know these are problem simple questions that everyone knows...

PIM Backup saves the backup file to the root directory of SD Card by default. File name is PIMBackup_date.pib. This is a place to look. You can also backup all of your programs/settings etc. with commercial backup utilities like SPB Backup or Sprite Backup - these can restore your device to the exactly same state like before e.g. when you do the Hard reset. Note that PIM Backup does not save MMS messages.
can't connect
i have the same problem with my wing. i've downloaded my mobiler but when i install it nothing happens. it refuses to connect to my phone. active sync (or windows mobile device center, whatever they call it on vista) is working just fine so i know the link with the phone is good. any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!!! my life is on that phone.
The problem I'm having is that when I go to settings > system > remove programs, it only lists the first 11 programs that I've installed myself, so I cant see / remove newer programs since they are not listed there.
The programs (all cab files) were installed through usb via active sync.
Is there a tweak or a registry setting that can be used to keep that program list updated and show every program installed.
If not, how can I uninstall a program completely from within my phone itself ?
I'm trying to avoid uninstalls through active sync.
I wish I had an answer for you. I have been looking for an Installation Monitor, Registry Monitor, Filesystem Monitor tool for a long time now but I don't think there is one out there. What an Installation Monitor essentially would do is monitor any cab that you install and create a log of what that cab added/modified. That way, when you come to uninstall it you could perform a FULL uninstall and it would truely bring your device back to what it was before you installed the cab.
There are many of these types of tools for Windows XP/Vista but I haven't seen anything for WM6. Also there may be some limitations as these installation logs could be quite long. Regular Windows software such as "Advanced Uninstaller Pro" and they seem to do a good job.
I wish there was one for WM6 because everytime I install something and don't like it and remove it, it seems to leave hundreds of files lying around. I hate that...
The closest thing I have seen to an uninstaller program that goes beyond the standard Windows uninstaller is SKTools. It has an option to perform a "deep scan" for installed programs and it attempts to remove all files that that cab added and revert all registry keys back to their original state. I am still testing it out on Windows Mobile Emulator. It looks like if the original cab didn't create an installation log, WM doesn't know it got installed.
I just experienced this for the first time myself, although I have about 20 programs in my remove programs list. Opera 8.65 doesn't show up in the list of installed programs, even though it is there and still works. I was trying to uninstall it from main memory and try it on the storage card but I guess I'll have to hard reset to really get rid of it. Any other ideas?
Rather than flashing the FuZE... if I do a hard reset with the trick to not install the AT&T bloatware, will that make the phone any faster?
Also... I just ran a backup with Sprite to my memory card. It is backing up 165mb of stuff. Does that mean that is is backing up all of the AT&T bloatware? I had all boxes checked off except Storage Card. What will the backup entail? It would be kind of stupid if it backed up all of the software I'm trying to remove.
if you have everything ticked in sprite backup then its probably backuping your registry as well.. I'd say go through the options of sprite backup and tick only what you want backed up.
Then hard reset and soft reset right after its booted up before it installs the customizations.. or just use a cooked rom..
I tried to figure out what to uncheck - hopefully this goes right... Will it speed everything up though?
No Manila2D after soft reset?
Question, I just did this. Did the soft reset when it's customizing, and now I don't have the Manila2D installed or at least it's not visible. TouchFlo is in fact there, I see it in Settings, but I do I have to separately find the cab to install it? I'm looking around the file system right now to see if it's on there so I can just install it from there.
Right now, it's just the regular Windows Mobile interface.
Thanks.

Don...I had the same issue with my Fuze. Here is what you do...
Hard Reset on phone
pull battery when customization screen pops up
Reboot
Go to Windows Explorer and look for the following .cab files(I did them in this order):
PT_Manila_REG (TF3D)
MSFT_Security (policy work around - needed)
WM6_PPC (Opera browser)
Java_Preloads (needed for browser)
Optional:
Remove Hidden Proxy
OzIM (multi IM program - I like and use regulary)
MobileBackup (free and I use it)
Once you have done this, reboot and go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413562
for some really nice tweaks. Before you do these tweaks though, you'll want to download the following files (sorry, you'll have to look for them):
.NETCF 3.5 (get this from Microsoft site)
Schaps Advanced Config v3.3
some type of registry editor (I have Schap's)
What tweaks you do are up to you...best thing is to experiment and decide what you like best.
Additional files that I have downloaded because of what I use my phone for are the following:
fp7_ppc (flashplayer v7 for pocket pc)
cesetup (Citrix Client software for ppc)
ManilaCustomizer (fantastic program for editing TF3D) get this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420
Diamond TF3d Config (another fantastic program for tweaking TF3D)
mUn BackGround4AllPages (changes the background on all of the TF3d tabs to match the Home tab)
LiveSearch
Google Maps
WiFiFoFum (wireless net detector)
Fun files that I have installed:
DivX
Lightsaber 1.0 (yes, I am a Star Wars nerd!!)
YahooGoNet
Having all these various programs installed, my Fuze blisters! I had a Tilt previous and tried almost every custom ROM for it over the course of a year. When I got this phone, I was already aware of how to not install the bloat from AT&T. Thanks to other helpful people on xda, I was able to locate the files that I wanted to install. Hope this helps and have fun with your phone, I know I am!!
pghguy1989,
THANK YOU. You were right on the money. I loaded these cab files:
PT_Manila_REG (TF3D)
MSFT_Security (policy work around - needed)
WM6_PPC (Opera browser)
Java_Preloads (needed for browser)
And rebooted, and I'm back up and running with my TouchFlo. That was exactly what I wanted. I was annoyed that it did put some of the AT&T branding on there, but I don't really care. I'm going to now use the TFCustomizer, and clean it up.
Thanks a TON. I was going crazy googling and looking for the right cab files to make it happen!
Can't thank you enough.

After two weeks... and several soft resents and only two hard resets... I now have everything set up and working well and smooth on my TP2 (Sprint). All my email, preferences and setting are exactly what I want themn to be.
My question is. What is the best way to back ALL of this up. Is there a programs that can save this 'state' and created a sort of restore point; so that is everything goes kablooey, I can get the device back to this exact state easily? Freeware preferable, but not a must.
I know I am noob, but I am trying to learn so thanks. It was a long time coming and WinMo 6.1 is a so different to me that the Palm system I was using until now.
Please let me know... It is greatly appreciated.
Matt
As far as I know, you have 5 options
1) PIM Backup - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
FREE
Really good at backing up ALL your text messages, contacts, appointments, etc. It can run automatically if desired. I've had issues when trying to restore emails and email accounts to my phone, but those aren't that hard to setup without it.
2)Microsoft MyPhone - http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po
FREE
Service works well. It backs up your info (Text, contacts, appointments, email) to the "cloud". It will even backup your files too, like photos and songs. You can also have this run on a schedule as well. Also has tools to locate your phone if you lose it (GPS location, make your phone rings even if it's on silent) but you gotta pay for them.
3) Flexilis Mobile - https://beta.flexilis.com/
FREE
Same as Microsoft MyPhone, but it's all free. They're still working on the GPS location function for the TP2, however their "scream" function is pretty cool, even works of the phone is set to silent too.
EDIT: forgot to mention, I wouldn't advise setting up the firewall on this program, I've had issues when trying to connect to ANY wifi spot (even my home's) when the firewall is on.
4)SPB Backup - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
$24.95
Haven't actually tried this one but from the looks of it, it can backup "System Data" which I think means system preferences.
5) Resco Backup - http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/backup/
$19.99
Looks like it will backup EVERYTHING, the new version will also upload your backup to the FTP server of your choice. Haven't tried this one yet either
Also I know there is a program floating around the Rhodium forums that will re-installed ALL your programs. I forgot the link though.
I use MS MyPhone and SPB Backup... SPB is pretty easy to use, but so is MyPhone, but with MyPhone there have been some glitches in the past (which I experianced, like the contact restore issue) but those seem to be resolved now at least ( I know I havent had the issue again since getting the new version). SPB costs money, MyPhone does not. Both are simple, and easy to use. I would suggest trying them all, find the one you like best and stick with it.
I use SunnySoft BackupManager 4.x.
This software will restore you to whatever point in time it was when you did the backup. This software can be customized to backup the whole device or just parts of it.
I tried SPB on previous winmo phones and did not like it.
I also have had no issues with getting the software from 1 phone to the other. All it took was an email with my new phones key sent to them to get a new code for the new phone.
+1 for SPB its worth the money backs up and saves everything.
Sprite Backup isn't bad. Used it a lot on my MotoQ9c with no issues.

Yeah, just make sure you use the same version for restore as you did while backing up. Tried to restore my roommates palm treo (a couple years ago) and the program didn't want to because it said that the version I backed up with was to old.
+1 on SPB Backup. And when they say it backs up everything, they mean everything. Data, apps, the works. Great program and well worth the money IMHO.
I've tried Sprite Backup but it gave me problems. I tried doing a backup, reflashed my ROM, and when I tried to restore the file wouldn't work. All my data was gone. So -10 for Sprite Backup.
Sprite works for me
I've used Sprite on my Wizard and on my Fuze/Raphael.
This is the copy I'm using now, copied from my Fuze, and it is working fine:

One thing you might find is that it usually works best to restore to a device that is factory fresh, i.e. hard reset to factory specs, or to your base ROM whatever that is. If you have a stock ROM you may get an error when you try to run the restore file directly.
I keep a copy of the Sprite Backup.CAB on my storage card, and load it after the hard reset, then use it to open the backup file.
If you have a cooked ROM you probably can just run the exe backup file.

I am think about this... but I have not the first clue on how to flash a new ROM, where to find one that is right... is there a faq on this whole process.
I just want a nice stable system...
My vote is with SPB backup.
It makes backups on schedule, I do one every day, then automatically copies the backups to my desktop when I connect it by activesync.
Smooth, reliable, I've restored 1/2 a dozen times without a problem.
Worth the money.
Hi all,
Ive read most posts regarding Twitter issues and think I have a new one.
Yesterday my Twitter crashed (and restarted sense) while updating, now it does not even load up through the sense tab. Ive checked in the Windows dir and some of files are there (png,qtc), in window\htc the twitter folder is empty, and also the icon has disappeared from the start menu. I assume that the program has deleted itself from my hd2 in the process. Now for my questions:
Does anyone have the program files for htc twitter (I understand that there is no CAB) that I could copy back into my windows or prog files dir?
Is there any other way to get it back without doing a hard-reset?
If none of the above work can anyone recommend a prog better than either motweets or Pocketwit.
Cheers for any help on this,
FlYiN<*}}}><
You could also hard reset but that is not what you want to hear, what rom are you running? no doubt that will be needed for the right files
