Hello!
Is there a way to read content od PIM backup file and .pwi note files made on HTC smart phone on PC with windows?
I lost my phone and all i have i those backup files on my pc, how can i read them without the device?
I would like to be able to open pimbackup files on pc as well.
I think it should be possible to start a windows mobile simulator on your pc, install pimbackup inside this simulator and then restore your config to be able to access your data...not really the easiets way, but it should be possible.

Oh, well...
Thanks for the info, I will have to be more careful next time!
if you sync with your pc then
it have all the files synced on the pc in my_Pocketpcdocuments or something like that in your my_documents dir
and if you sync'd since and the file have been deleted on the pc too then i guess you can try the pc undelete
or better yet look in
your user dir (on the pc)
in the application data\microsoft\activesync\<profile name>
it keeps deleted things there sometimes
Is this possible? I'd like to back everything up including software installed so if anything goes tits up i can just revert to my backup.
Also, how do you flash a rom?
Thankyou
anyone? please help
forget it, i just flashed the rom..
fortunately everything worked ok.
This is the way i backup my phone
Your phone should be Registry and App unlocked..
Sync your phone, copy folders /Application Data - /Program Files - /Windows/Start Menu - /Windows/Start Up - to your Desktop (PC)
Install Registry Explorer with Resco Registry
Export HKCR,HKCU, HKLM then copy the .reg files on PC
Backup Contact, SMS, Call History with Jeyo Mobile Companion
--NOW DO YOUR HARD RESET OR REFLASHING THE SAME ROM--
Now, restoration...
App Unlock your device
Copy folders /Application Data - /Program Files - /Windows/Start Menu - /Windows/Start Up - to your Phone thru Active Sync. (Overwrite all)
Copy the .reg files from your PC to phone..
Install Resco Explorer with Resco Registry and Import the .reg files
Restore your Contacts thru Jeyo Mobile Companion
Restart device
there you go, you got now a clean setup of your device with all your apps and customizations. One thing, some apps wont work/launch with this procedure, you may need to reinstall them and if you try to, it will prompt that it couldn't be removed and if you wanna still continue installing, just hit Yes and install it on the same directory where it was on your previous setup.

Question:
Is there any way to convert the pbc (binary backup) to any format that outlook recognize?
I ask because my mobile has broken and I have the backup in binary and i want to extract it to another mobile (not windows-mobile)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer:
There is no converter tool so far, sorry. The only way is the use of a windows mobile device, by doing a restore then doing a text backup.
As you don't have a wm device, your only solution is the wm emulator. To get the wm emulator, you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio.
So download Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition which is free then download the windows mobile OS image and use the emulator to do the job like a real device.

There is a way, you can use Windows mobile Emulator, i was able to
1) run PIMbackup
2) restore BIN backup
3) backup again as non binary
4) then PIB can be changed to zip, and csv files from zip can be upload to gmail contacts.
PIM backup
What version of PIM beckup did you used ??
Becouse on version 2.8.0. After aunpack inside is *.CSC file
i have a backupfile of pimbackup, can i open it from windows?i must recover some phone numers but my wm pda is broken!!!
change the extension of the backup file to zip, Extract with winrar and you'll find a file called contacts_date.pbc, use notepad or excel to open this file and you will be able to see your contacts.
I prefer excel cause you will have a lot of strange looking characters to deal with...
Easier alternative, if you have the windows mobile emulator installed on your PC, just do a restore from PIM backup and you can see all your contacts...
Let me know if you can extract the contents of a file. pib (Pim backup) so you can synchronize with Microsoft Outlook.
I switched from WM 6.5 to Android 2.1, but before doing this I made the backup with PIM Backup, they can not now open the same with your handheld like to know if there is a program for Android that opens files with this extension, or alternatively one for PC.
