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!

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.
I've backed up my Trinity with Sprite Backup 5.1 before moving on to wm6 But sadly, the backup didn't work on wm6, and when I downgraded back to wm5, it still did not work.
On both wm5 and wm6, i chose to recover only Mail and Personal Databases, so I'm supposed to get my emails, smses, tasks, calendar and contacts back. However, none of my emails and smses appear after the restore and contacts crashes (closes silently) as soon as I run it and calendar says "An unexpected error has occured in this program." and Tasks hangs when I run it (It seems to be running but nothing appears on screen).
I've used Sprite Backup many times in the past and haven't had this problem. I'm desperate to get my stuff back!
And just to mention, I've tried re syncing my information with activesync, but mysteriously AS seems to have not updated my stuff since some time ago even though every sync was a success. Yeah, I know my phone was in a bad condition.
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.
At the moment I have to format my phone but I have no way of getting my contacts out!
I have a G3 flashed with tomal's black edition. One day I broke my sd card holder and quickly filled up my phone. Even after wiping it, it has intermittently become stupidly slow.
The big problem is that I wiped my home pc about 3 weeks ago as it was well overdue which was able to sync contacts, notes and calendar. My work pc was able to sync notes and calendar but I couldn't do contacts because it said I had to delete my existing ones first. Anyway, I had to wipe that pc on friday as it was given to someone else yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas?
Edit:
Free trial of Sprite Backup seems like it will do the job. http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/download.php?pid=191
Simpler solution, regedit hklu, software, microsoft, activesync, partners, then delete everything there and you can sync with whatever you want again.
my phone had a camera issue (screen went white when taken pic, all settings were lost and it couldnt take panoramic pics) and i hardreset to fix it
that worked , however pimbackup seems not to work 100% messages in convo mode have not imported properly any ideas?
Use Microsoft My Phone with your Windows Live Messenger account....
More simple and everything's perfect ;-)
I'll use it! Cause before I have the same problem with Pimbackup.
i have the same issue... luckily im synced with Windows MyPhone too - which got my stuff back again.
PIM worked fine when making a backup from the HTC Diamond > HD2

I find that when you restore with PIMBackup, if you restore your text messages and have the 'Conversations' option checked then you will have trouble. Rather, uncheck it and have the phone rebuild the conversations itself - takes a few minutes or so and you will have a noticeably slower device for a little while (mine is usually crawling for about 30 minutes - I generally restore around 1000 messages) but your threaded conversations will be preserved.
Also, back when I used my Polaris, I used to kill the messaging process (tmail.exe I think) and kill Manilla and then do the restore, then soft-reset, then enable Manilla again. That method always resulted in perfect restores including conversation threads (4000+ sms). I haven't had to do that with the HD2 but you could try it if you're having no luck after unchecking 'Conversations' in the Text Messages restore part of PIMBackup.
